Ao Tian didn't bother with Gu Yue Na anymore. If she wanted to sleep beside him, so be it. Her fragrance was actually quite pleasant.
Just as he was about to close his eyes, he noticed Xiao Wu rolling over towards him again, just like before. This time, however, she was stopped by Gu Yue Na.
Gu Yue Na noticed Ao Tian looking at Xiao Wu and said, "Ao Tian, Xiao Wu said that when she sleeps, she always unconsciously rolls over to you. I think it's because of the aura on you, which attracts her, making her subconsciously want to get closer to you."
Ao Tian said, "That's what I suspected as well."
The aura on him might have a special attraction for soul beasts. But he usually concealed his aura, perhaps a trace of it would unintentionally leak out while he was sleeping, which would attract Xiao Wu to approach him.
Gu Yue Na suddenly said, "Ao Tian, you're really attractive when you're asleep. I really want to eat you whole."
"If you don't go to sleep, I'm throwing you back," Ao Tian said, closing his eyes.
Gu Yue Na quickly closed her eyes. After a moment, she quietly opened them again, gazed at Ao Tian for a while, and then peacefully closed them.
"It's really comforting to sleep beside Senior Ao." she thought to herself.
In the early morning, when everyone saw that Gu Yue Na and Xiao Wu had both moved over to Ao Tian's side, and that Gu Yue Na was even lying shoulder to shoulder with Ao Tian, their hearts shattered.
Tang San had the best sleep he'd had in a year. When he woke up, he felt refreshed and full of energy.
But when he saw Ao Tian and Gu Yue Na on the bed opposite him, his face darkened.
"From today on, I'll work even harder in my cultivation. I don't believe you can keep being stronger than me without cultivating!" Tang San thought to himself.
When Ao Tian woke up, he found that Gu Yue Na and Xiao Wu were still fast asleep.
Gu Yue Na was breathing evenly, a faint smile on her pretty face. Xiao Wu was snuggled close to Gu Yue Na, one of her long, pink legs peeking out from her pants and resting on Gu Yue Na's body.
Perhaps it was because of her rabbit Martial Soul, but at seven years old, Xiao Wu's legs were longer than those of most children her age, even more so than Gu Yue Na's.
Ao Tian pulled down the loose pant legs of Xiao Wu's pants to prevent any accidental exposure, then woke up the sleepy girls.
Gu Yue Na didn't open her eyes, mumbling, "Ao Senior, why are you shaking me?"
"Sister Na'er, it's time to get up. The opening ceremony is about to start," Xiao Wu said, also getting up and shaking Gu Yue Na.
Gu Yue Na finally opened her eyes, quietly complaining, "Humans sleep for such a short time. I haven't even had enough sleep yet."
Ao Tian smiled and said, "Then you can stay here and sleep. Xiao Wu, let's go."
"Alright, I'll get up," Gu Yue Na reluctantly got up.
The opening ceremony was held in the morning, and classes would begin in the afternoon.
Ao Tian was somewhat surprised to see that Gu Yue Na was quite interested in this type of class, listening and learning attentively.
In her words, if she wanted to defeat humans, she had to understand them first.
Ao Tian also noticed that Tang San was asking other classmates about him, but unfortunately, he couldn't find out much.
After dinner, in the dean's office, the dean, Master, and Tang San gathered together.
Master looked at Tang San and asked, "How is it, Xiao San, did you find out what family Ao Tian comes from?"
Tang San shook his head. "No. Besides Xiao Wu and Gu Yue Na, Ao Tian doesn't have a good relationship with anyone else. I couldn't find out."
"It's okay; you've done well." Master comforted him.
He looked at the dean and asked, "What about you? Did you find anything?"
The dean smiled. "I've actually managed to dig up some information."
"Oh? Tell me about it," Master's spirits were immediately lifted.
The dean said, "Ao Tian's Martial Soul certification lists his address as a village called Shangshui Village. So, I personally visited that village. I found that there were no families with the surname Ao there, and the villagers didn't know anyone named Ao Tian."
"How could this be?" Master murmured, "Could his certification be fake?"
The dean nodded. "That's what I thought too. But I carefully examined the seal on the certification, and it is indeed the official seal of the Hall of Martial Souls. That's what's so strange."
Tang San said, "Then Ao Tian must have colluded with the Hall of Martial Souls to create a false identity to enter Notting Academy."
Master and the dean both looked at Tang San with approval, satisfied with his quick thinking.
The dean continued, "If that's the case, then I can't figure out what Ao Tian is after by coming to my academy. He has such excellent talent, wouldn't it be easy for him to enter Notting Academy? Why would he create a false identity?"
"Unless… his identity is something he wants to hide, or he doesn't want people to know," Master speculated.
"Also," Tang San added, "Ao Tian is very rich. I heard from other students that he once took out a pile of Gold Soul Coins, at least a few hundred. And he also has a Storage Soul Tool."
The Headmaster nodded and said, "Another point of suspicion. If Ao Tian is so rich, why would he live in the work-study student dormitory?"
Master shook his head. He couldn't understand this point either.
For a rich person to live in the dormitory of poor students seemed very unreasonable to him, and he couldn't think of a reasonable explanation.
The Headmaster said, "There are only two ways to find out Ao Tian's true identity. First, go directly to the Hall of Martial Souls to investigate. Since it bears the Hall of Martial Souls' seal, someone there must know Ao Tian's identity. Second, investigate from Ao Tian himself, or you can start with those two girls around him and ask them indirectly."
Tang San said, "Since we have evidence to prove that Ao Tian's current identity is fake, should we take this opportunity to kick him out of the academy?"
"Why kick him out of the academy?" The Headmaster asked back, "There's nothing to gain from this little academy of mine. No matter what his purpose is, it's good to have a genius student at Notting Academy."
Master sighed and said, "Xiao San, your teacher is just curious about his identity, not trying to do anything to him. Can't you face the fact that you lost to him? Are you trying to use this to get back at him?"
Tang San was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head in shame.
He hadn't thought things through, and had instinctively said he wanted to kick Ao Tian out of the academy, which made him seem like a sore loser.
Master patted Tang San on the shoulder and said, "Xiao San, it's not scary to lose. What's scary is losing your courage. Isn't Ao Tian's presence exactly what motivates you to cultivate more?"
Tang San nodded heavily, saying, "I understand, teacher. I will definitely cultivate even harder to defeat Ao Tian."
Master nodded in satisfaction.
"However... I'm still interested in his identity. See if you can find out from Xiao Wu or Gu Yue Na."
"Teacher, I'll do my best," Tang San replied.
For a while, Tang San tried to get close to Xiao Wu and Gu Yue Na, hoping to figure out Ao Tian's identity.
But Gu Yue Na was extremely aloof and ignored him, which annoyed Tang San.
Xiao Wu was quite enthusiastic, but whenever he asked about Ao Tian, she wouldn't say a word, leaving Tang San with no way to find out anything.
In the end, he had to give up, helpless.
Time flew by, and five years passed. Ao Tian, now a young man, and the girls Xiao Wu and Gu Yue Na were about to graduate from Notting Academy.
