90: Lin Xueyue left; the stars and the sea were her ultimate goal.

Half an hour later, when Qin Yu and Lin Xueyue arrived at the Jiangzhou City Railway Station, the station was already packed with people.

Looking around, most of them were students who had awakened Combat-type Classes and were admitted to Class Changer universities, along with their parents seeing them off.

Among them, Qin Yu even spotted a few of his classmates from Jiangzhou No. 1 High School in the crowd.

Following the conclusion of the College Entrance Examination and the announcement of the National Top Ten List ten days ago... during this period, major mainstream media outlets in Jiangzhou City were scrambling to report on Qin Yu and Nie Yuxi, who respectively took the first and second spots nationwide.

Nowadays, in Jiangzhou City, Qin Yu's name, if not known to every household...

...it has certainly reached the point of being widely known.

Furthermore, Qin Yu was naturally quite handsome and tall, making him highly recognizable.

Therefore, the moment Qin Yu and Lin Xueyue walked into the railway station, they were instantly recognized by many people.

“Holy crap! Great God Qin Yu??!”

“Good heavens, is Great God Qin Yu starting school today too?”

“There hasn't been any news about him for the past ten days. I thought he had already left Jiangzhou City and headed to Star Ring Academy.”

Instantly, several exclamations rang out inside the station, and immediately afterward, everyone in the station looked toward Qin Yu and Lin Xueyue.

Countless whispers continuously reached Qin Yu's ears:

“Damn, is that Qin Yu? How is he even better looking than the pictures I saw online?”

“That's definitely Qin Yu. I was even in the same group as him during the Comprehensive Test. Qin Yu hasn't given any interviews in the last ten days, so those photos online must be old. Of course, they wouldn't look much like him in person.”

“Ah? I'm so jealous, Sis. Was that considered close contact with a male idol?”

“Not really. He was number one and I was number seven, so we were still a bit far apart.”

“Speaking of which, why did Qin Yu choose to go to Star Ring Academy?”

“Logically speaking, given his Class and Energy Level, couldn't he choose any of the Four Great Academies? Why did he insist on picking Star Ring Academy, which ranks last?”

“You wouldn't know this, but rumor has it that Nie Yuxi chose Star Ring Academy first, and Qin Yu has had a crush on Nie Yuxi since childhood, which is why he followed her to Star Ring Academy.”

“Holy cow, guys, is this news real? That's explosive!”

“Absolutely real, little bro. My seventh uncle's second great-uncle's nephew's little cousin's son, who is my distant cousin, is Qin Yu's classmate. He told me himself.”

“...”

As Qin Yu completed his Class Change, reached Level 20, and awakened the unique power of the Super God Mechanic Class: Mechanical Power.

Qin Yu's physical fitness and five senses were incomparably stronger than before!

Therefore, at this very moment, Qin Yu heard all the surrounding discussions clearly.

“Ridiculous. Since when have I had a crush on Nie Yuxi for over ten years? Who is spreading these rumors?” Hearing these discussions, Qin Yu was truly speechless for a moment.

Of course, in this situation, Qin Yu naturally wouldn't bother to argue.

Ignoring the discussions and stares of the crowd, Qin Yu took out his phone, opened super message, and contacted Nie Yuxi, who hadn't directly contacted him for over ten days:

“I'm at the railway station. Where are you?”

Speaking of which, ever since that night when Nie Yuxi inexplicably washed Qin Yu's feet...

...Nie Yuxi seemed to have “vanished from the world.”

No matter how Qin Yu tried to contact her, he received no reply.

Even the time for meeting at the railway station to go to Star Ring Academy together, he had to confirm through Lin Xiaoshan.

Finally, it was Li Ziqi who asked Aunt Wang, and only then did he learn that Nie Yuxi was fine; she had just started cultivating in seclusion like crazy after returning from his house.

To be honest, Qin Yu still completely failed to understand what exactly happened that night.

However, reminiscing about the feeling of Nie Yuxi's slender fingers tracing across the soles of his feet...

...Qin Yu's heart still stirred slightly... In short, it was very soft and very smooth.

His phone vibrated. After many days, Nie Yuxi finally replied to Qin Yu with a message:

“Arriving soon.”

Only three short words, still conveying a familiar coldness.

Qin Yu glanced at it, unsurprised, and replied:

“Alright, we'll meet in the waiting hall then.”

After he replied, the chat window fell silent again, with no further activity.

Qin Yu didn't look again. Instead, he led Lin Xueyue to a ticket gate destined for Yunzhou.

Unable to be admitted to the Four Great Academies, the university Lin Xueyue ultimately chose was a first-tier academy in Yunzhou, right next door to Qingzhou, where Qin Yu was located: Yunmeng Academy.

Because their destinations were different, the trains the two of them were taking...

...were naturally not the same.

Furthermore, Lin Xueyue's train was scheduled half an hour earlier than Qin Yu and Nie Yuxi's. At this time, ticketing had already begun, preparing for departure.

Arriving at the ticket gate, Lin Xueyue looked at the entrance ahead and Qin Yu beside her, her expression momentarily showing reluctance to part.

However, recalling what Qin Yu had said earlier in the car... Lin Xueyue ultimately didn't say anything more.

“Qin Yu, just you wait. You're right, academies are just a starting point.”

“Although your Class is SSS-rank, my Class isn't bad either!”

“I definitely won't let you leave me too far behind.”

After giving herself a mental pep talk.

She stepped through the ticket barrier and boarded the train without looking back.

Watching Lin Xueyue's figure disappear into the train, Qin Yu remained silent for a few seconds in the waiting hall.

Regarding the words Lin Xueyue had left unsaid...

...Qin Yu had been well aware of them for many days.

Even the hint Lin Xueyue gave him in the car just now...

...he understood quite clearly.

However, as the saying goes, ever since the first day he transmigrated to this world and realized that it contained not just Transcendent Power but also the Sea of Stars... Qin Yu had never considered things like romance and love.

Therefore, Qin Yu quickly composed himself.

He found a spot in the waiting hall, sat down again, and waited for Nie Yuxi.

As Qin Yu sat down again in the waiting hall...

...the crowd's gazes naturally kept glancing toward him.

A few people even plucked up the courage to approach Qin Yu and greet him.

“Great Master Qin Yu, are you also heading to the academy to report?”

“Class Monitor Qin, do you remember me? I was also from Jiangzhou No. 1 High School. I even got into the Vanguard Class, but I was filtered out after just one time.”

Eventually, even the Railway Station Master, upon learning of his arrival, personally came over to greet Qin Yu... “Student Qin Yu, as this year's top scholar of the college entrance examination, you are the pride of Jiangzhou City!”

Although Qin Yu felt somewhat helpless about this, he could only respond to them one by one.
