「The next day.」
Chen Jian'an gathered friends and acquaintances for a celebratory banquet at Anran Residence to mark the end of the Academy's minor exam.
A total of thirteen scholars attended, seven of whom were Students.
Introduced by Chen Jian'an, Xu Xing didn't become the center of attention at the banquet and still lingered on the periphery like an attendant. However, during this event, he gained recognition from several Students, who believed he would one day be their peer.
By befriending so many classmates, Xu Xing's Luck also increased.
A new Destiny had emerged on his panel.
[Mirror Master: Xu Xing.]
[Dao Fruit: Lifetime of mediocrity (white).]
[...]
[Destiny: Broad Knowledge and Strong Memory (gray↑).]
Looking at the changing panel, Xu Xing fell into deep thought.
"What are you pondering, Brother Xu?"
"Miss Yingying is offering you a toast."
Beside him, a drunken Qin Scholar patted Xu Xing's shoulder, gesturing towards the young girl in front of them who was offering a toast. The girl had a face like a new moon, was in the bloom of youth at sixteen, and possessed a graceful, slender figure.
