"Mu Xi?"

"What a coincidence, you're here too."

Seeing the girl not far away waving and calling his name, Tang Wulin smiled lightly and spoke up.

He indeed had an understanding of the original timeline, but encountering her just after entering here was somewhat unexpected.

Not entirely surprising, but really out of the ordinary.

"This senior sister is so beautiful."

Looking at the beautiful senior sister in front of him, Xie Xie and the duo behind him were stunned, unable to help but comment.

Xie Xie truly felt that she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen besides the school's flower, Ouyang Zixin.

"She seems to be called Mu Xi..."

"I feel like this name sounds familiar."

Xie Xie felt somewhat familiar with her, sinking into thought, but ultimately couldn't recall.

Perhaps it was just a passerby he happened to see while dining out with his father once!

"Indeed!"

Behind him, Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi also nodded quickly, their gazes fixed on Mu Xi's direction, unable to contain their approval.

For this unnamed senior sister, they were both very optimistic about her looks.

"Not just her."

"I see another senior sister behind her, she seems even prettier!"

Zhang Yangzi had sharp eyes and looked at the senior sister standing behind Mu Xi seriously.

"And even more beautiful...s, it's flawless."

As he recognized who the person was, Xie Xie was stunned for a moment, then swallowed, unable to help but say slowly.

The senior sister Mu Xi in front of him was already a rare beauty. In the whole East Sea City, there probably wouldn't be many who could match her, let alone surpass her.

However, if it's her, then indeed there's absolutely nothing wrong.

"..."

In contrast to Xie Xie, Zhang Yangzi, and Wang Jinxi, as a girl, Gu Yue just stood quietly in place, not saying anything, not thinking anything.

Her gaze simply rested on the person who greeted Tang Wulin, her eyes particularly cold, strangely chilly.

She, for this person who greeted Wulin, especially calling him Wulin little brother...

Had! Absolutely! No! Bit! Of! Good! Feeling!

...

"I didn't expect to meet you here."

"It's really a coincidence."

Mu Xi smiled gently, leading the people beside her to come to him, her face filled with smiles as she spoke cheerfully.

Just after entering the Spirit Ascension Platform, unexpectedly meeting Wulin little brother while walking was truly a pleasant surprise.

"Yeah."

Tang Wulin agreed.

"Mhm!"

Mu Xi's smile was sunny and beautiful, but there was a slight strangeness to it.

For some reason, although her smile was perfectly normal, it seemed much happier than usual, as if she had won something.

"Mu Xi, what's wrong with you?"

Tang Wulin's face showed a puzzled expression, feeling something not quite right about the person's smile in front of him, and asked with curiosity.

He always felt that something was a bit off, as if something bad was about to happen.

"It's nothing, just..."

Mu Xi hesitated, and as she spoke, she also shifted her gaze to the direction behind her.

"You only saw Mu Xi?"

At this moment, along with a voice, a very beautiful girl silently came out from behind.

Unlike Mu Xi's good mood, at this moment, she looked a bit displeased, pouting slightly, her face full of dissatisfaction.

What, Mu Xi was seen, but not her, what's this!

"Um..."

"Senior Sister Zixin."

Looking at the girl who came out from behind, Tang Wulin was momentarily stunned, obviously not expecting her to be here too, then quickly came to his senses and greeted her hurriedly.

In the original work, it was never mentioned that she would come with Mu Xi, which was indeed a bit unexpected for him, but thinking about their close relationship...

It seemed quite normal after all.

"Don't call me Senior Sister Zixin."

"You, didn't even see me!"

Ouyang Zixin crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking at him dissatisfiedly, her mood already a little unpleasant, saying so.

"That's because you're farther back."

Tang Wulin replied truthfully. If she wasn't slightly behind, how could he not see her?

Of course, this also had to do with his bad habit of not using spiritual power to detect distant directions in normal, non-dangerous situations.

If not for that, he would have sensed her long ago.

"Alright."

Ouyang Zixin was naturally not someone unreasonable, looking at the person in front of her, she responded gently.

"Wulin little brother."

"Do you need both me and Zixin to accompany you guys? It seems like your strength is a bit lacking."

Mu Xi briefly assessed the group in front of her, first exclaiming in surprise, then sincerely speaking.

She admitted that the talents of these Wulin's classmates were very good, especially the girl, who was much stronger than she used to be. But...

They were still too young. Despite their strong talents, they were only Grand Soul Masters. If they were to face the most common Soul Sage peak in the Spirit Ascension Platform riot, they would still struggle.

"That's right."

"Wulin little brother, both Mu Xi and I are Soul Sage-level powerhouses. Although we're not at level 39 yet, these people next to you are. It would be safer to go together."

Ouyang Zixin added, pointing to the others beside her as she spoke.

These accompanying people were all chosen by Mu Chen from the Forge Master's Association, with sufficient strength and outstanding talent.

Being at the highest level of strength allowed in the Spirit Ascension Platform, they could protect them while also benefiting from increasing their soul rings.

"No need, thank you."

Before Tang Wulin could speak, Gu Yue had already come to his side, helping him decline.

She wasn't simply rejecting these people.

She just wanted to help Wulin refuse these girls who seemed good but were actually not, even though they might not be good at all.

"Who are they?"

Approaching Tang Wulin's side, Gu Yue said so, her face showing a somewhat unpleasant expression, even a bit cold.

It was as if an invisible ice blade appeared next to Tang Wulin, as if she would teach him a lesson if he didn't speak up.

"Wulin brother."

"You still haven't introduced these two sisters to me."

"This one is my sister, a student of our academy."

"The other one is also a senior sister in our academy. Her martial soul is the Blue Silver Grass and she's my sister's good friend."

Tang Wulin's expression remained unchanged as he looked at Gu Yue in front of him, pointing in the direction of Mu Xi and speaking frankly.

"?"

"Ah?"

Gu Yue was suddenly stunned, a little confused.

No...this is his sister?

"Impossible."

But soon, Gu Yue's eyes flashed, shaking her head, thinking seriously.

She wasn't a fool. Anyone would believe that these two, one surnamed Mu and the other surnamed Tang, were siblings!

"Teacher's daughter."

"Let's consider her his sister for now."

Before Tang Wulin could speak, Mu Xi walked up silently and stood in front of Gu Yue, speaking directly.

"In that case."

"What are you to him, little classmate?"
