Chapter 60: I'll Beat Anyone Who Bullies You

"Sorry, I was really exhausted this afternoon and accidentally fell asleep," Xiao Qingyang couldn't tell the truth, so he had to explain this way.

Xu Kaiyang didn't doubt it at all. After all, Xiao Qingyang walked back to the dormitory, so it was impossible for him not to be exhausted and fall asleep for the whole afternoon.

"It's alright. If you need anything, just let me know. I'll go for dinner now," Xu Kaiyang smiled, waved at Xiao Qingyang, and left the dormitory.

Xiao Qingyang locked the door again and couldn't wait to mobilize his internal spiritual power to open the Qiankun Bag. Familiar items appeared one by one in his consciousness, making him excited.

Finally, he didn't have to slowly accumulate spiritual power by absorbing small white dots just to open the Qiankun Bag. Although his spiritual power was still not abundant, opening the Qiankun Bag was now effortless.

With this, he felt more confident facing this world.

His Qiankun Bag contained many treasures, some of which he refined himself, while others were life-saving gifts from his parents. Even if he encountered danger here, at least he wouldn't fear for his life, not to mention...

Xiao Qingyang couldn't wait to take out an Enhancement Pill. This was something he wanted to take before, but he left the opportunity for the little dragon. Now that his spiritual power had recovered somewhat, he naturally wanted to enhance his physique as well.

His current physique level was slightly better than that of an ordinary person, but it was still far inferior to that of ability users. His original physique was even stronger than that of ability users, capable of tearing apart wild beasts without any difficulty.

Xiao Qingyang looked at the smooth and fragrant Enhancement Pill in his hand, wishing he could swallow it immediately, but in the end, he resisted.

Once the Enhancement Pill was swallowed, there would still be a period of time for refining and absorption. It was already evening, and he had "slept" for the whole afternoon. If he didn't go out tonight, it wouldn't be acceptable.

Moreover, he would have to live here for several years and had to get along well with his roommates. By this time, they should have all returned.

Therefore, Xiao Qingyang decided to wait until everyone was asleep at night before taking the Enhancement Pill for refinement.

Reluctantly, Xiao Qingyang put the Enhancement Pill back into the Qiankun Bag, along with the obtained badge.

Nobody but him could open this Qiankun Bag, so there was absolutely no risk of losing the badge inside.

After finishing these tasks, Xiao Qingyang tidied up the room a bit to make the dormitory look less shabby. Then he walked out of the bedroom and saw his three roommates, including Xu Kaiyang, gathered in the living room.

"Qingyang, you finally came out. Have you rested well? Are you still tired?" Xu Kaiyang still remembered his glorious feat of walking to the dormitory.

Xiao Qingyang smiled and shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

Initially, he was indeed tired to the point where he didn't want to move, but after practicing for a few hours, all the fatigue vanished, and he felt even more energetic than before.

"Let me tell you guys, Qingyang here had no idea about the existence of campus flying cars. He walked all the way from the teleportation point to the dormitory. When I found out, I almost laughed myself to death," Xu Kaiyang shared with the other two roommates. Just thinking about it now, he couldn't help but burst into laughter again.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingyang's face blushed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed.

With Xiao Qingyang's embarrassing story and Xu Kaiyang's lively personality, the initially awkward atmosphere began to thaw. Everyone became more relaxed and less restrained with each other.

"I'm Xu Kaiyang, a new student at the Academy of Supernatural Abilities. And what about you guys?" Xu Kaiyang finally stopped laughing and introduced himself.

"I'm Lin Weiran, a new student at the Mecha Academy," a gentle-looking young man sitting on the left side of the sofa introduced himself.

"I... I'm Gu Xiaotian, a new student at the Institute of Ancient Cuisine Research." The delicate-looking youth shyly introduced himself, capturing everyone's attention.

Seeing Gu Xiaotian being looked at by everyone, he felt a bit shy and couldn't help but shrink into the sofa, seemingly wanting to diminish his presence.

"The Institute of Ancient Poetry Research? Does our school have such an institute?" Xu Kaiyang asked, looking confused.

Since he was young, Xu Kaiyang had aspired to enter the Royal Military Academy and become an outstanding soldier. Therefore, he was highly interested in and knowledgeable about the Royal Military Academy, but it was his first time hearing about the Institute of Ancient Poetry Research.

The Royal Military Academy truly lived up to its reputation, covering a wide range of disciplines and fostering talents in various fields.

Looking at the friendly interaction between the three roommates, Gu Xiaotian couldn't help but quietly correct, "It's not the Institute of Ancient Poetry Research, it's the Institute of Ancient Cuisine Research, which studies the cooking methods of ancient delicacies."

As soon as Xu Kaiyang heard that Gu Xiaotian was studying cuisine, his eyes immediately lit up. "So, can you cook?"

Although each dormitory was equipped with a kitchen, most of them were merely for display. After all, in the interstellar era, very few people knew how to cook, and the price of ingredients was expensive. The average person simply couldn't afford it.

However, there is a small group of people who can make simple meals for themselves, and the kitchen is meant for them to occasionally satisfy their cravings.

"I can cook a little bit," Gu Xiaotian said shyly with a smile. "But it might not taste very good."

"It's alright, it's already impressive to be able to cook. I never expected to have a roommate who can cook. We'll be blessed in the future," Xu Kaiyang laughed like a fool.

Lin Weiran turned to Xiao Qingyang and asked with a smile, "It's your turn now."

"I'm Xiao Qingyang, a new student at the School of Spirit Medicine," Xiao Qingyang introduced himself.

"You're a pharmacist, how amazing," Gu Xiaotian looked at Xiao Qingyang admiringly.

Wherever you go, pharmacists are highly regarded.

"Now that we're all roommates, feel free to ask for anything. If there's anything I can do to help, I will," Lin Weiran smiled and reached out his hand to everyone.

Compared to Xu Kaiyang's unpredictable and unreliable nature, Lin Weiran appeared much more mature and stable.

"I-I'm glad to be your roommate," Gu Xiaotian also extended his hand and quietly expressed his joy.

Xiao Qingyang smiled and said, "Please take care of me in the future."

After Xu Kaiyang finished laughing, he noticed that the other three roommates were about to "form an alliance" by joining hands, even though he didn't know what they said when his head was unclear. He quickly reached out his hand and placed it on their backs.

"We're all brothers from now on. If you need anything, just say the word. Brothers don't hesitate to face danger and hardship," Xu Kaiyang spoke grandly, sounding... somewhat theatrical.

Although they had only been together for a short time, they had already seen through Xu Kaiyang's foolish nature. Therefore, they showed great tolerance towards his behavior and words.

After all, he was their brother from June 19th. What else could they do besides being tolerant?

However...

"After we go out, try not to mention that you live in Room 619 too often," Lin Weiran chuckled lightly.

Xu Kaiyang looked confused. "Why?"

"We can't afford to have this person," they replied in unison.

Xu Kaiyan: ...

You guys are forming cliques and excluding your roommate right at the beginning of the school year. I'm telling you, it's not right.

I want to join your little group too!

Being in a new environment, getting to know new roommates, and realizing that everyone's personalities are quite nice, Xiao Qingyang's mood remained joyful. He also found spiritual energy and could open the Qiankun Bag. These series of happy events kept him in a pleasant state.

After bidding goodnight to his roommates, Xiao Qingyang returned to his bedroom. He first made a video call to the old butler, reassuring him that everything was fine.

"Grandpa Du, is something wrong?" Xiao Qingyang keenly noticed that the old butler's mood wasn't very high and asked with concern.

"It's nothing. I'm doing well here too. I'm currently working with Mr. Long…. You don't need to worry about me," the old butler replied, trying to smile.

Ever since he found out that Mr. Long was the Crown Prince and was the little dragon, the young master raised, he hadn't been feeling well. He felt like the world had become fantastical, and he didn't know whether to consider himself lucky or unlucky in this matter.

How many influential figures on the Imperial Capital Star longed to build a good relationship with the Crown Prince and deepen their bond? Unfortunately, they never had the opportunity. But now, his young master had gone out and saved the Crown Prince, and their relationship was so good. Not everyone could encounter such a thing.

Although the fact that the little dragon was the Crown Prince was something the old butler couldn't accept for a while, from another perspective, if the Crown Prince had a good relationship with the young master, it meant that he could protect the young master, and the young master would no longer have to fear those people from the Xiao family.

When he thought about it this way, it was indeed a good thing for the young master to know the Crown Prince.

"In that case, I'll come to visit you during the break," Xiao Qingyang said with relief upon learning that the old butler was staying with the little dragon. This way, during his breaks, he could see both of his closest people at the same time.

"Sure, I'll make a lot of delicious food for the young master," the old butler said lovingly, now that he had come to terms with the situation.

After ending the video call with the old butler, Xiao Qingyang called Long Jingze, and it was as if he had been waiting in front of the terminal all along, as the call was quickly connected.

Seeing Long Jingze's handsome face appear on the terminal screen, Xiao Qingyang's mood rose even higher.

"Little Dragon," Xiao Qingyang called out happily.

"In school, are you getting used to it? Has anyone bullied you? If anyone dares to bully you, just let me know, and I'll teach them a lesson when I come back," Long Jingze said arrogantly, but his concern and worry for Xiao Qingyang couldn't be concealed.

If it weren't for something that came up suddenly, he would have already returned to school with Yangyang. With him around, no one would dare to bully Yangyang.

"I'm fine here. Everything is good, and my roommates are nice..." Xiao Qingyang shared with Long Jingze everything that happened during the day.

The video call lasted for a whole hour and a half. By the time it ended, the other roommates were probably already fast asleep.

Xiao Qingyang took out an enhancement pill from the Qiankun Bag and swallowed it, preparing to meditate and cultivate until dawn. He couldn't waste such a good environment and opportunity.
