The next day, the assessment continued.
Because Bai Zhou's group defeated the strongest group led by Dai Huabin, the other 6 teams in Bai Zhou's area were all weak and disorganized.
Bai Zhou didn't even need to act; Wang Dong easily defeated the opponents by himself.
...
Three days later, the preliminary round ended.
Out of over nine hundred freshmen, less than 200 people remained, meaning sixty-four groups of students passed the assessment.
Bai Zhou inquired and learned that because Huo Yuhao's strength was too weak, Zhou Yi directly used the only promotion slot to kick him to the Soul Guidance System, making him Fan Yu's Disciple, and he did not participate in the assessment.
Huo Yuhao's spirit power level is currently 15, and although he has 3 Spirit Abilities, others don't know this, so no one was willing to team up with him.
Zhou Yi also only knew that Huo Yuhao had only one Spirit Ability, so she felt that Huo Yuhao couldn't pass the assessment anyway. She simply used her privilege to send him to Cultivate in the Soul Guidance System.
After all, Huo Yuhao seemed to have some talent in the Soul Guidance System.
As for the Martial Soul Department...
Huo Yuhao's talent was truly too weak. Without some Heaven-Defying natural treasures, he probably wouldn't be able to break through to Spirit Emperor in this lifetime.
The knockout rounds were scheduled to start two days later, giving Bai Zhou two days of free time.
He originally wanted to go back to the Soul Guidance System, but Wang Dong was too clingy, and Bai Zhou really couldn't leave him even for a step, so he decided to just spend more time with Wang Dong.
...
Meanwhile.
In an ordinary courtyard somewhere in Shrek City.
A mother and daughter were sitting in the courtyard eating a simple dinner.
Although the dinner was ordinary, the mother and daughter's looks were top-notch; no man who saw them wouldn't be moved.
These mother and daughter were naturally Jiang Nannan and Mu Yun'er.
Because Bai Zhou had given a large amount of betrothal gifts last time, although Mu Yun'er was reluctant, she still moved, leaving the slum area.
One reason was that she didn't want to trouble Bai Zhou with her own matters anymore, so moving to a safe place was the best option.
Another reason was that she wanted to be more presentable. At least, when Bai Zhou came to visit, she would have a place to entertain him.
The slum area was small, dirty, and smelly. She really didn't want Bai Zhou's good mood to be affected by the garbage when he came to see her.
So even if the rent here was a bit more expensive, she endured it.
And she also
"Nannan, why didn't Xiao Bai come with you?"
As Mu Yun'er ate, she felt it was tasteless and looked at Jiang Nannan with some complaint.
"She's preparing for the freshman assessment recently; she's very busy."
Jiang Nannan answered while eating her food in small bites, without lifting her head.
She was trying to avoid Bai Zhou; how could she possibly bring him home herself?
Isn't that inviting a wolf into the house?
"Nannan, tell me honestly, did you have a conflict with Xiao Bai?"
Mu Yun'er was experienced. Seeing Jiang Nannan's indifferent attitude, she immediately felt there was something fishy going on.
"Mu Yun'er~ I didn't!"
Jiang Nannan looked at her mother helplessly, but didn't know how to explain, looking wronged.
However, as Jiang Nannan's mother, Mu Yun'er naturally had to be responsible for Jiang Nannan. Seeing Jiang Nannan's attitude, she became more convinced of her suspicion and continued to persuade her: "Nannan, Xiao Bai is a good person, just a bit young. You should be more accommodating towards him. No matter what conflict you have, you must resolve it properly. Go and apologize first, and he will definitely forgive you."
Jiang Nannan: ???
Listening to her mother siding with Bai Zhou so much, Jiang Nannan was momentarily unable to tell who was the biological child...
"Mu Yun'er... it's not what you think!"
Jiang Nannan emphasized her tone, but still didn't dare to tell the truth.
"Hmph, it's not what I think? Then call him over! I need to ask clearly and see if he was wronged, otherwise why hasn't he come to see me for so long!"
Mu Yun'er immediately put on a stern face and snorted.
"I..."
Jiang Nannan was instantly speechless. She should have known better than to come back. Now she was finished...
"What 'you'? Hurry up! Xiao Bai is the son-in-law I've approved of. By next week at the latest, you must call him over for a meal!"
Mu Yun'er ordered directly.
Of course, she said this not only because she was fond of Bai Zhou as a son-in-law, but also because she could see that Jiang Nannan genuinely liked Bai Zhou.
It was just that for some reason, the two seemed to have had a small conflict, causing Jiang Nannan to be somewhat cold towards Bai Zhou.
This was purely an emotional problem.
Jiang Nannan could be said to know nothing about relationships and could easily lose Bai Zhou.
As someone experienced, she naturally knew that at this time, Bai Zhou needed comfort the most. As long as Jiang Nannan took a little initiative, their relationship would definitely warm up quickly!
Perhaps, in a few years, she would be holding a grandson...
"I... I know..."
Jiang Nannan wanted to argue, but due to the suppression of blood ties, she still lowered her head and agreed.
After dinner, Jiang Nannan returned to her temporary small room, wrapped herself in the quilt, and kept rolling around, occasionally letting out soft whimpers...
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Nannan finally poked her head out of the quilt, gently smoothed her messy hair, and then took out a Microcard...
Injecting a little spirit power, an interface appeared, with boxes on it, which were her chat records with Bai Zhou...
In the beginning, Bai Zhou would "harass" her every day, chatting about random things...
At first, she was a little uncomfortable, but later she gradually liked the feeling, and then she started actively chatting with Bai Zhou or sharing some interesting daily life...
Although the chat time wasn't long, looking through the chat records, there were thousands of messages...
Full of memories.
It was just that these past few days, Bai Zhou seemed really busy and hadn't sent her any messages...
"Sigh... this bad guy..."
As Jiang Nannan looked, tears welled up uncontrollably, and she softly sobbed while holding the Microcard.
She really liked Bai Zhou...
But thinking that Bai Zhou was with Tang Ya, she felt an inexplicable sourness in her heart.
She actually wanted to convince herself, but she also cared about Tang Ya.
After all, she and Tang Ya were good friends. If Tang Ya found out about what she and Bai Zhou did last time, she wouldn't know how to face Tang Ya...
After all, she was the third party...
"Buzz buzz..."
Just then, the Microcard suddenly vibrated.
Jiang Nannan subconsciously opened it and found that it was a message from Bai Zhou.
[Bai Zhou: Nan Nan Jie, good evening, I miss you, do you miss me?]
Seeing this message, the slight unhappiness in Jiang Nannan's heart inexplicably dissipated, replaced by a little joy.
Of course, she wouldn't let Bai Zhou know.
