In late June, Jiang Chen was in the capital city to attend his adoptive sister Jiang Lu's university graduation ceremony, and their adoptive parents were also present.
Dressed in her graduation gown, the family took a group photo on the campus of Capital City University. Jiang Chen had lost his biological parents at a young age, but he had fully integrated into this family.
Jiang Chen had already mapped out a life plan for his sister. After graduating from university, Jiang Lu would truly step into the next phase of her life. Although she wasn't in a hurry to begin her cultivation journey, it was time for her to start getting acquainted with it.
"Xiao Lu, starting tomorrow, you'll follow Qin Xiaoya and help her with martial arts matters," Jiang Chen said as they returned to the Snowfall Courtyard.
"Brother, can't I start cultivating now? The whole country is buzzing with martial arts enthusiasm; I really want to cultivate!" Jiang Lu's eyes were filled with longing.
"You and our parents will all cultivate eventually, but the timing isn't right yet. If you start cultivating now, your future achievements will be limited. Don't be anxious; I promise you that in three years at most, you'll be able to truly embark on your cultivation journey," Jiang Chen reassured her with a smile.
"Alright then, brother. I've decided that once I start cultivating, I'll become a teacher at Capital City University. I've heard they're planning to offer martial arts courses," Jiang Lu said.
"In the future, there will definitely be specialized cultivation universities. I'll make you the principal," Jiang Chen joked.
"Brother, you better mean that! I'm taking you seriously," Jiang Lu's eyes lit up with excitement.
"When have I ever lied to you? But before that, you need to spend more time following Sister Qin and learning about Huaxia Martial Arts and the entire cultivation system on Earth," Jiang Chen said with a smile. He fully supported his sister's aspirations; being a teacher was a respected profession no matter where one was.
"Don't worry, brother! I'll start learning from Sister Qin tomorrow," Jiang Lu replied cheerfully.
True to her word, the next morning, she accompanied Qin Xiaoya on a business trip. During this period, Qin Xiaoya was busier than ever due to the surge in martial arts interest. With thirty-two Hidden Sects spread across various provinces, even though Jiang Chen was the Martial Arts Alliance Leader, he rarely got involved in day-to-day matters; everything was handled by Qin Xiaoya. As a result, she spent most of her time either on planes or rushing to airports.
A few days later, in Jinling.
Jiang Chen had promised Lin Yin that he would attend her graduation ceremony. Lin Yin had been located by her biological parents during Jiang Chen's retreat thanks to Hao Shumei, the former director of the orphanage where she grew up. However, she mostly just held an enrollment status at Jinling University without actually attending classes.
At Jinling University, Lin Yin was dressed in her graduation gown and anxiously awaited in the auditorium.
"Lin Yin, who are you waiting for?" a curious classmate asked.
"My master," Lin Yin replied absentmindedly.
"Isn't he the guy who threw the martial arts club president into the pool during freshman year?" the classmate recalled.
"Yeah," Lin Yin nodded.
"Lin Yin, is he really your master? He’s not your boyfriend or anything?" her classmate asked teasingly.
"Don't be ridiculous; he really is my master," Lin Yin quickly clarified.
"Okay then! How skilled is your master? Is he stronger than those disciples from Hidden Sects? A few days ago, I visited Feitian Sect Martial Arts Academy in Jinling and saw their disciples perform incredible feats—they could leap onto treetops just by stepping on leaves! I couldn't believe it until I saw it with my own eyes; lightness skill really exists!" Her classmate spoke excitedly about her experiences at Feitian Sect Martial Arts Academy.
"Of course, my master is impressive. Even the leader of the Feitian Sect has to show respect when he sees my master," Lin Yin said with a smile.
"Your master is that amazing?" a female classmate exclaimed, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Lin Yin didn't elaborate further; she simply turned her head to look back occasionally. Her master was not waiting around but had attracted quite a few admirers who came to ask Lin Yin for photos. She didn’t turn them away, welcoming everyone as if she were a major celebrity.
At Jinling University, Lin Yin was undoubtedly a prominent figure. She was rarely seen, but during her freshman year, she had once pinned down the then-president of the martial arts club. Such astonishing combat prowess naturally left people in shock, especially since Lin Yin also had an angelic face, making her the center of attention and a frequent topic on the school forum.
The most formidable female student at Jinling University: Lin Yin.
The most beautiful female student at Jinling University: Lin Yin.
The most mysterious female student at Jinling University: Lin Yin.
The most caring female student at Jinling University: Lin Yin had several times arranged for the best hospitals and covered medical expenses for classmates who fell ill during fundraising efforts.
Over the four years, Lin Yin's reputation at Jinling University grew immensely. Many new students were curious about this enigmatic senior and found it extremely difficult to meet her even once.
This wasn’t entirely Lin Yin’s fault; she was always busy with studies and training. Her academic performance wasn't stellar—just barely passing—but she didn’t seek much more than to graduate smoothly. Most of her energy was devoted to her martial arts training.
In her freshman year, everything was new and exciting, so she joined the martial arts club. However, she quickly lost interest and didn’t even want to take on the role of president. It was a rare occasion if she spent even one day a week on campus.
Most students wouldn’t dare to do this. Lin Yin's father, Lin Dazhi, had once personally approached the president of Jinling University regarding this issue and donated a hundred million yuan to the school. With that donation, the school turned a blind eye to Lin Yin's absences. Besides, although she enjoyed skipping classes, she managed to pass all her exams, making it hard for teachers to criticize her.
Today was the graduation ceremony for seniors, and it was rumored that Lin Yin would attend and even speak as a representative. Many freshmen, sophomores, and juniors planned to skip classes just to catch a glimpse of Senior Xie.
Choosing Lin Yin as the student representative was a well-considered decision by the school. Normally, given her grades, she wouldn’t qualify for such an honor; even with her father's financial influence, recent trends in martial arts had made her recognized as the top expert in the school. The institution wanted to ride this wave by having Lin Yin share her experiences in martial arts and offer some advice to younger students.
The school aimed to educate its students, and in recent months, martial arts had gained fervent popularity among many people, especially young ones. The notion that studying was useless had resurfaced, making Lin Yin's speech all the more significant as an example.
Having been involved in martial arts from an early age and now set to graduate from Jinling University successfully made Lin Yin's firsthand account all the more persuasive.
