It was already late at night by the time he returned to the Abyss Level Academy, and looking at the stars in the sky, Han Xiao suddenly did not want to sleep. After telling Little Lei Zi to go back to his room to rest, he would lie down on the roof and look at the stars in the sky, thinking about the tears he had cried with Gu Xuan'er and the smile on Gu Xuan'er's face.

Until he felt the soreness on his neck, Han Xiao turned his head and just as he turned his head, he saw the person he missed sitting beside him. He didn't even know when Gu Xuan'er had come over.

"Xuan'er." Suddenly sitting up, Han Xiao blinked his eyes twice as if he could not believe his eyes.

"I couldn't sleep at night and thought I'd come out and see you here." Gu Xuan'er turned her head to look at Han Xiao, her eyes filled with an unfathomable sadness.

"Xuan'er." Han Xiao stretched out his hand to touch Gu Xuan'er's eyes, as if he wanted to wipe away the sadness in them.

"Xiao, why do I feel that sometimes you're so close to me, and sometimes you're so far away from me? Is it really that difficult to make you trust me?" Gu Xuan'er softly asked.

Facing Gu Xuan'er's question, Han Xiao did not know how to answer for a while. In his previous life, he had suffered from injuries so deep that he did not dare to easily trust anyone, nor did he dare to hand over his heart, thus, even though he knew that Gu Xuan'er's figure was already living in his heart, he did not dare to admit it. He was afraid that his heart would be hurt again, but he did not want to make Gu Xuan'er sad.

Seeing Han Xiao's silence, the hope in Gu Xuan'er's eyes slowly faded. She raised her hand to remove Han Xiao's hand and softly said, "It seems like my question has troubled you. You can rest assured that I won't ask you this kind of question in the future."

Hearing Gu Xuan'er say this, Han Xiao felt his heart ache even more. Subconsciously tightening his arms, he hugged Gu Xuan'er and softly said, "Sorry, Xuan'er, please give me some time. I will try to walk out of the shadow of the past and I will no longer be cold and warm to you."

Feeling Han Xiao's warm embrace, Gu Xuan'er slowly reached out and hugged him back, softly saying: "Okay."

The next morning, when Han Xiao and Gu Xuan'er appeared in front of Little Lei Zi holding hands, Little Lei Zi was a little confused for a moment. He clearly remembered that Han Xiao was still able to hide from Gu Xuan'er yesterday, and today was the day.

On the other hand, Gu Cheng was much calmer than Little Lei Zi. However, when he looked at Han Xiao and Gu Xuan'er again, a hint of worry flashed across his eyes.

After tidying up a bit, Han Xiao and Gu Xuan'er went to the front of the Abyss Level Academy to look at the final test, the final test was a group battle, where they would randomly pick twenty people to fight with and leave the last three people on the stage. Han Xiao was initially worried that Zhao Xiang would fail without fighting with anyone, but he never thought that Zhao Xiang would actually be the only one in his group who wasn't injured, and thus his strength could not help but increase once again.

After a whole day of assessment, he saw countless people being carried off the stage, and who knew how many people left in a dejected manner. Including the two hundred people who went to Soul Split Cliff yesterday, there were only two hundred people left on the stage.

- The entire courtyard was about the size of the imperial palace of the Yun Ming Empire, and was densely packed with uncle rooms. Each student only had one room, and the living conditions were relatively simple, but because of Han and Gu Xuan'er's special treatment of Xiao Zheng, they were given six rooms, and the six rooms were the most imposing rooms in the entire courtyard, causing the other students, who were supposed to be jealous of Gu Xuan'er, to have to squeeze into two rooms because of the special care they had given to the two of them.

"Xuan'er, let's go sit over there." Han Xiao saw that the front row of the Great Sect Hall was filled with people and frowned. As they were all new students of the Abyss Ming Academy, in addition to the classes they had chosen, every day, they had to go to the Great Hall to study for a month's time about the history of the Abyssal Ming Academy and the knowledge related to the Kuang Xiao Continent. This was also something that Han Xiao urgently needed to understand right now, thus they had brought Gu Xuan'er to the Great Hall early on the first day of class.

When Gu Xuan'er saw those people, she also frowned and nodded her head before following Han Xiao to the last row and sat down.

After he sat down, Han Xiao began to look around the Great Sect Hall that he would frequently visit in the future. The entire Great Sect Hall was around the size of his Phoenix Sage Palace, and there were five hundred chairs arranged in a row, making the originally spacious room somewhat crowded. At the very front of the Great Sect Hall, there was a podium like object, and a middle-aged man wearing dark blue colored clothes with a few celebrities on it.

After a while, they were all gathered, the man's loud and clear voice sounded from within the Great Hall, "All new students, I am the teacher in charge of teaching your Abyss Academy and Kuang Xiao Continent's history, in a month's time, I will give you a test. If you fail the test, you have to study history again, until you see a rock in the Abyss Academy, you will know the time period."

As soon as Zhao GuangQun finished his words, half of the people in the Great Hall of Ecclesiastic Education had their faces darken. Obviously, they did not expect Zhao GuangQun to be so strict.

Compared to other people's nervousness, Han Xiao was much more relaxed. Although he was also taking notes, if one looked closely, they would realize that there was a piece of graffiti on top of it. Gu Xuan'er, on the other hand, was completely unlistening, quietly sitting beside Han Xiao.

After one lesson, Han Xiao and Gu Xuan'er arrived at the Main Hall. Seeing the signboard for each subject on the wall, as well as the corresponding explanation and examination method, Han Xiao went silent for a moment, then went forward and chose refining, history, martial arts, and array formation. Adding in the things that he needed to learn before he entered the student's class, Han Xiao calculated that he had to take thirteen classes a day, and would basically be shuttling through the various halls for the entire day.

"I originally wanted to choose a few less, but if I keep this up, I would need to take thirteen classes a day. It would simply be on par with when I was studying economics and trade with you and managing your businesses." After calculating what class he was going to take, Han Xiao said helplessly.

"Back then?" Han Xiao, you went to school before? " She remembered from Han Xiao's information that Han Xiao had always been ignored by Han Xiangtian, so it was impossible for him to go to school.

Realizing that he had leaked the information, Han Xiao cursed himself in his heart with a gentle smile, "I taught myself. Xuan'er, if you feel tired from class, you should go back and rest first." Han Xiao looked at Gu Xuan'er with a pained expression.

With Gu Xuan'er's identity and cultivation, there was no need to attend these classes, but Gu Xuan'er was willing to follow Han Xiao. This caused Han Xiao's heart to feel warm, and a crack appeared in his sealed heart.

"I'm fine. I also want to know how everyone attends their classes." Although she knew that Han Xiao was purposefully changing the topic, she did not ask. She believed that one day Han Xiao would confess everything to her.

Seeing that Gu Xuan'er had already said this, Han Xiao helplessly smiled and held Gu Xuan'er's hand as they walked towards the dining hall.

Since the new students were all in the same group, their dining hall was large enough to accommodate five hundred students. Although the dining hall was large, the dishes inside were much worse than those of the junior students.

Walking into the dining hall, he directly sat at the easternmost area, and a few delicate dishes and small dishes were immediately brought up. Although he was a new student, Xiao Zheng had instructed long ago not to mistreat Han Xiao and Gu Xuan'er, their meals were all made according to the standards of a middle grade student, and the easternmost table was reserved for Han Xiao and Gu Xuan'er.

Smelling the fragrance of the food, Han Xiao took out a piece of dessert and passed it to Gu Xuan'er. Although Gu Xuan'er didn't have to eat anything, she had never refused Han Xiao's snacks.

Looking at Han Xiao's and Gu Xuan'er's exquisite meals, and then looking at the food on their side, many people's hearts were filled with dissatisfaction, their gazes towards Han Xiao were filled with even more hatred.

As for Han Xiao, he did not seem to feel those gazes as he continued to eat his meal, occasionally telling Gu Xuan'er jokes.

Because there were six classes left in the afternoon, Han Xiao and Gu Xuan'er hurriedly headed out after dinner. However, just as they reached the door, they met a few richly dressed men walking in from the entrance. The leading man had an obvious glint in his eyes when he saw Gu Xuan'er, but when he saw Han Xiao, he couldn't hide the hatred in his eyes.

"Eh, isn't this Han Xiao? I heard of your great name long ago, it's really my fortune to meet you today." The leading man said with a gentle smile.

"May I know who you are?" Seeing the man's familiar appearance, Han Xiao's eyebrows twitched as he asked.

"I am Bai Mingfeng, a new student like you. Meeting you today is fate. How about I treat you two to a meal tonight?" Although Bai Mingfeng was talking to Han Xiao, his eyes never left Gu Xuan'er.

Feeling Bai Mingfeng's undisguised gaze, Gu Xuan'er's eyes were filled with coldness. Before she could open her mouth, she heard Han Xiao's gentle voice, "You're not qualified to treat us to a meal. I'm sorry." As he finished speaking, the smile on Han Xiao's face had no trace of killing intent in his eyes.
