Jian Xi did not choose to explain, but directly pleaded in a soft and tender voice: "Sixth senior brother? Sixth senior brother! Sixth senior brother~"
Huo Chengxi held his forehead. Every time it was this move, but he still couldn't do anything about her.
"Alright, alright, little ancestor, I won't say anything more to you. Where are you now? I'll come pick you up," Huo Chengxi asked.
"No need. Brother arranged a driver for me. Which university are you at? I want to come find you and take a look around. I've never been inside a university!" Jian Xi asked Huo Chengxi.
Huo Chengxi teased, "I'm not He Qingchen. Our omnipotent little junior sister only needs to lift a finger to know where I am!"
Jian Xi rolled her eyes over the phone. "Sixth senior brother, are you stupid?"
"Just kidding with you. I'm at B University, come on over. I'll go wait for you at the entrance!" Huo Chengxi laughed.
"Okie dokie!"
After hanging up the phone with Jian Xi, Huo Chengxi didn't even eat his meal before hurrying over to the school entrance to wait for her.
The people in the cafeteria looked at each other and immediately broke out into lively discussion.
The main topic was exactly who could make Young Master Huo so anxious that he not only went to pick her up in person, but even called her little ancestor!
That's right, Huo Chengxi had taken Jian Xi's call right there in the cafeteria.
Although it was very noisy here, Huo Chengxi's influence at B University couldn't be ignored. He would attract a lot of attention as soon as he appeared, after all, who wouldn't notice someone so exceptional in both academics and family background, not to mention devilishly handsome!
After Huo Chengxi left, quite a few people also trickled out of the cafeteria, seemingly random but all heading towards the same destination – the school gate – and some even hurried back to their dorms to grab their DSLR cameras!
Yijing Xiyuan wasn't very near or very far from B University, taking around half an hour by car. He Qingchen had said she could 'borrow' any car from the garage, so she chose a white one. She didn't recognize cars, but the driver told her it was a Porsche 911, a limited edition model.
She didn't understand cars; this one simply seemed the most low-key out of the entire garage!
After getting into the car, she secretly thought to herself that in a few days she would definitely get a driver's license first, so she wouldn't have to trouble anyone else!
At the B University entrance, Huo Chengxi held his phone, debating whether or not to announce to the group that his little junior sister had come down the mountain. But after thinking about it some more, he decided not to say anything for the time being.
It wasn't that he didn't want to tell them, just that he wouldn't say anything these next few days. Otherwise his little junior sister would definitely get snatched away!
Especially by his fifth senior sister Su Yinghe – he couldn't compete with her!
Huo Chengxi muttered to himself, "Don't know which of He Qingchen's residences little seven came from."
There were benches at the school entrance but he didn't sit, only kept standing there while continuously looking all around.
What he didn't notice was that the flow of people in and out the school gate was already two or three times greater than usual!
A full half hour passed with Huo Chengxi not moving an inch, maintaining his original posture the entire time.
Just when the people waiting behind him were starting to get a little impatient, he moved.
Everyone raised their heads to look. In the distance, a white car approached. They all craned their necks.
Huo Chengxi took two steps forward. His eyes were incredibly sharp, able to see Jian Xi through the car's windshield before it had even gotten close.
The car had just stopped when Jian Xi eagerly threw open the door and burst out like a cannonball, sprinting straight towards Huo Chengxi. "Sixth senior brother!"
Huo Chengxi opened his arms wide to catch the human cannonball. "Why did you lose so much weight? Does He Qingchen mistreat you?"
Jian Xi straightened her body. "How could my brother bear to wrong me? I just... oh, never mind, being thinner looks better, what would you understand!"
"What nonsense! Do you think a skeleton from the lab looks good?" Huo Chengxi glared at her.
Jian Xi changed the subject, looking behind him at B University's front gate as she exclaimed in admiration, "Wow! So this is the university Sixth Senior Brother attends? Such impressive atmosphere, the aura of Wenqu Xing is so dense here!"
Huo Chengxi's topic was successfully redirected. Somewhat arrogantly he said, "Of course, this B University is the number one institute of higher education in the country! Your Sixth Senior Brother managed to test in through actual ability, even getting first place!"
Jian Xi gave him a blank look and made a disdainful noise. "Sixth Senior Brother, I'm not blind. You might as well go ahead and stick a sign directly on your forehead saying 'I'm Wenqu Xing descended to earth' in big characters!"
The usually shameless Huo Chengxi uncharacteristically scratched his head in embarrassment.
This entire interaction between the two of them simply dumbfounded the crowd that had come to snoop.
Although they were too far away to hear what the pair was saying, they could see their actions crystal clearly. Huo Chengxi had actually hugged that girl!
And it wasn't only girls who had come to watch the spectacle, there were also many male students. When they saw Jian Xi emerge from the car, they were stunned by her beauty!
Thus the cries of "I want all this girl's information in five minutes!" arose one after another.

Huo Chengxi gave Jian Xi a tour of the campus. Jian Xi was very curious, asking about this place and that place the whole time.
She happened to arrive right when it was almost time for class, so most students who had classes were on their way there.
As a result, the rate that heads turned to look back at Jian Xi walking together with Huo Chengxi was extremely high – nine out of ten!
Jian Xi couldn't help but quip, "Sixth Senior Brother is really unusually popular huh, I received sooooo many hostile looks!"
"Stop spouting nonsense. I'm not popular at all, don't pretend you didn't see, along the way the number of male students looking back exceeded females!" Huo Chengxi shot back, refusing to admit inferiority.
Jian Xi saw everyone hurriedly rushing to class. She had forgotten to ask Sixth Senior Brother if he had class too. "Sixth Senior Brother, do you have class? If you do, just go. I can wander around and explore on my own."
"No classes." Huo Chengxi was indeed telling the truth, he didn't have morning classes. But he had grown used to rising early for martial arts practice at the Daoist temple, so he wouldn't sleep until noontime if he didn't have classes like other students.
After strolling for a while and covering over half the campus, the two found a milk tea shop to sit for a bit.
Jian Xi took a sip of her boba milk tea and her eyes lit up. "Delicious!"
Huo Chengxi lazily sprawled on the sofa, looking at Jian Xi as he asked, "Go on, tell me what happened. How did you end up coming down the mountain? What about Master?"
Jian Xi's milk tea drinking motions paused, her lips leaving the straw. They pressed together into a straight line.
Seeing Jian Xi's distressed expression, Huo Chengxi's eyebrows knitted together as he slowly sat up straight, asking again, "What exactly happened? Did something go wrong?"
Jian Xi relaxed her lips that she had bitten white. Looking into Huo Chengxi's eyes, she said with difficulty,
"Sixth Senior Brother, our Master... has ascended to immortality!"
