With no time to wait for a reply from Xia Yanyu, Xu Fan switched off his phone as the flight attendant's announcement echoed in his ears.

He immediately took out the records and materials related to the Heavenly Witch Sect and, sitting in first class, began to carefully peruse them.

Discarding the self-critical and condemnatory parts about the Heavenly Witch Sect, Xu Fan, from the opponent's perspective, could not grasp the full picture of the sect, but he did catch a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg.

The hierarchical system of the Heavenly Witch Sect was especially strict. Members of the sect referred to themselves as Rakshasas: White Rakshasa, Green Rakshasa, Blue Rakshasa, and Purple Rakshasa, up to the current leader, the Red Rakshasa Witch Huo Long.

In the sect, each advancement in rank meant a significant increase in both status and strength.

The one who had offered to switch allegiance to him had a cultivation level nearing Innate and possessed extremely high proficiency in Gu Art, yet within the Heavenly Witch Sect, he was merely a Green Rakshasa, a rank just above White Rakshasa.

From this, it was not hard to deduce that those of even higher ranks within the sect must already possess Innate cultivation levels.

Having read through the content, Xu Fan couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He started to understand why his foster mother had advised him not to act rashly. To eradicate the Heavenly Witch Sect would undoubtedly not be an overnight endeavor.

If one takes a step at a time on the long journey, Xu Fan felt all the more the importance of strength. If he could enhance his strength further, enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with experts like Master Liu, then he might have a chance to sweep away the Heavenly Witch Sect.

Weariness from last night's madness now swept over him, prompting Xu Fan to put away the documents in his hand and lean back in his seat to nap.

When he opened his eyes again, the flight had already arrived in Shanghai. Guided gently by the flight attendant, Xu Fan followed the crowd and disembarked from the plane.

Stepping out of the airport and facing the towering skyscrapers that reached for the sky, Xu Fan squinted, a confident smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

He wondered how long it would take to conquer Shanghai.

Taking a deep breath and casting aside further thoughts, Xu Fan stood at the airport entrance, hailed a taxi, and got in.

According to what Elder Guan had said, Guan Shimeng's current agency was also in Shanghai.

At this moment, she was probably striving hard to chase her dreams too, but he wondered how long it would take her to reach the heights of someone like Li Qinghe.

As for Qin Mengyue, thinking about her gave Xu Fan a headache.

Beware of fire, beware of theft, and under her watch, he had flirted with her best friend. Given her explosive temper, she might even pull out a gun on him when they next met…

He told the driver where he needed to go, and not long after, Xu Fan arrived at the entrance of Fudan University.

As one of Huaxia's most prestigious universities, Fudan University was a renowned, century-old institution in Shanghai, known for admitting only the most brilliant students.

As for those who tried to get in through connections, the school would not give the time of day to those with merely ordinary backing.

Now, holding the recommendation letter Xiao Lan had given him, Xu Fan couldn't help but praise his sister for her effort.

To be able to secure a place in such a high-end, prestigious institution, she was indeed awesome.

Xia Xiaodie was currently studying Business Administration at Fudan University, and in order to meet her as soon as possible, Xu Fan had requested the same major.

Picking up his pace, he headed straight for the president's office, contemplating how to expedite the enrollment process.

"Come in."

After knocking and hearing a response from inside, Xu Fan opened the door and entered.

Inside sat a middle-aged man nearing fifty, exuding an air of scholarly refinement.

When he saw Xu Fan enter, he pushed his thick glasses up on the bridge of his nose and asked, "May I know who you are?"

"Hello, Mr. President. I'm recommended by Xiao Lan. This is her letter for you, please take a look," Xu Fan said with composure, handing over Xiao Lan's letter that he had brought.

The president obviously recognized the name Xiao Lan and raised an eyebrow, then took the letter from Xu Fan.

"This…"

After spending nearly ten minutes reading the letter, the president looked over at Xu Fan with an embarrassed expression, causing a sense of foreboding to rise within him.

"Uh, Principal, is there a problem?"

The principal grinned and said, "Xu Fan, you might not believe this, but you've got the wrong place..."

"What??"

Listening, Xu Fan almost jumped up.

"Principal, isn't this Revival University?"

Xu Fan blinked, wondering how he could have come to the wrong place when he clearly saw Revival before he entered the university gates.

"This is Revival, of course, but..."

The principal touched his nose and said, "The school you're supposed to register at is a tier three university jointly managed with ours, next door..."

Damn it...

Upon hearing this news, Xu Fan's face turned almost black, remembering how Xiao Lan had earnestly advised him to study hard at Revival before she left, was it all just to deceive him?

Damn it, the tier three university across, isn't that just a huge pitfall?

"Uh, student, but don't worry, since the neighboring school is jointly managed with ours, you are free to come over for classes anytime."

"Yes, Revival University welcomes you."

Seeing the old principal looking over warmly, Xu Fan forced a smile.

Damn, no need to look; Xiao Lan must have played a dirty trick on him.

"Thank you for the Principal's care."

Staying any longer would be pointless, so Xu Fan awkwardly took back the recommendation letter and left the office.

As soon as he came out, Xu Fan immediately called Xiao Lan.

"Hm? Xu Fan, missing your sister as soon as you arrive?"

"Thinking about me like that, I'm really touched."

Pretending to be clueless, Xiao Lan picked up the phone and started acting cute.

"..."

The corner of Xu Fan's mouth twitched as he said, "Xiao Lan, you definitely did this on purpose."

"Wow wow, you little rascal, saying such things about your sister."

"Anyway, you won't be able to attend many classes, the one next door will do just fine, right?"

"It also saves me the trouble of owing the old Principal a favor, doesn't it?"

One is a tier three and the other is a prestigious university; damn, that's quite the compromise, isn't it?

"My brother has always been someone who doesn't care about empty titles, what difference does it make between a tier three and a prestigious university, right?"

Before Xu Fan could utter a word, Xiao Lan shot back with a remark, and hearing no response from him, she snickered and said, "By the way, Xu Fan, I've got some good news for you."

"Xia Yanyu is at Revival, so when you're so close, you'll have to take good care of her."

So that's how it is...

Upon hearing this, Xu Fan understood, it turned out Xiao Lan's convoluted plan to move him next door was for this reason.

"Xiao Lan, you're really too much..."

"Hmph, Xu Fan, don't you know that women are prone to jealousy?"
