'Thump...Swish!"

Huo yi pulled the string of his bag, tying a small knot to secure his belongings. Inside the bag were just small stuff he gathered randomly from his room, including some of his clothes and his hair brush. He honestly did not know what else to bring, In the soul dimension were dozens of stuff and possessions of his guardians that he could use.

He slung the bag on his back and headed out to the gate where his father was at.

Huo jin paced back and forth near the gate. From his facial expression, it seems that he was pissed. Tang yu and Lin xiao looked helplessly at their master. Sigh, what a worrywart.

"Master, please behave yourself. You need to calm down or else young master would get scared."

"Calm? I am completely calm. I am very, very calm."

'Hes not calm.' was the conclusion of the guards. Huo jin stopped pacing about and thought to himself. 

'Ah~!, Huo yi... Even though I told myself that this was necessary for his growth, Even when I thought I braced myself yesterday and put on such a trustful face, But then...!' 

Huo jin grinded his teeth and had a look of undying frustration. He was still afraid of people hurting his child, if his child looked like him and was arrogant then that was fine,however... Huo yi was too cute! His adorable child was going to school with other unknown strangers who were likely to step on him based on his appearance. What if he gets bullied and beaten up? 

Huo jin's internal rant halted when Huo yi raced to him.

"Faaather~!"

Huo yi ran and hugged Huo jin's leg like a koala. He gave an mischievous smile.

"Hehe,Is father here to see me off?"

......

Cute.

Huo jin rubbed his son's hair, and relaxed a bit. Maybe he should put more faith into his son.

"Yes yes, father is here to send you off. Have you brought your clothes?"

"Yep!"

"How about your utensils? The sliver ware there might be unclean and you might get sick."

"Uh-huh!"

"Your pillow and blanket? The bed might be hard and cold at night and you may catch a cold..."

"Uh...Father..."

"What about-"

"Father, I don't want you to worry too much."

Huo yi said before Huo jin could ask another question.

"I know you are busy with work... Giving yourself a headache over me could damage your health."

"Huo yi..."

Huo jin looked at his son with doteful eyes.

"That's why, I will get more stronger so that father won't have to worry anymore."

Huo yi gave an angelic smile. Bam! Huo jin clutched his chest tightly, Hnggh...! Forget the headache, Huo yi could give anyone a heartache!

After hugging and kissing his son, Huo jin was held back by the guards and reluctantly bid Huo yi goodbye.

"...Where are we?"

"...."

Huo yi stood dumbfounded amongst the the large tall figures walking about in the sect. The place was huge. There were many sections and pathways that were spreaded out through the sect. Huo yi was getting anxious.

Celio, Eva and Eli looked around, obviously lost. Damn their non-existant navigational skills! Did they get that from Master Scar?

Celio sighed. Seems like they were going to have to ask for directions. The task looked easy enough, but with a place filled with arrogant and snotty nobles? It's unlikely to end well.

"Little yi, try looking for a senior who is approachable and ask him for directions."

"...I'll try my best..."

Huo yi glanced around. A person who seemed approachable? He would need stilts to see their faces. Huo yi was unsure, so he picked out a young man who appears to be well-dressed, he went to him.

"Uhm...Excuse me senior brother..."

"Hm?"

The young noble turned his head around, only to see... No one.

"J-junior disciple greets Senior brother..."

Huo yi said again, bowing his head. The young noble redirected his gaze again and looked down at Huo yi. The noble was with a group of other men, they followed his gaze.

"Is there something you need?"

"I-I need help with directions, and I was w-wondering if senior could help me?"

Huo yi began stuttering with his words, the stares from five giants were intimidating!

"Oh? Where does this junior need to go?"

Huo yi told him of the dorm and where he should go. 

"The dorm building? Head left and then make a turn upfront. You should see a large building with the dorm sign."

The man pointed to the direction with his fan.

"Eh, ah-, this junior thanks senior brothers for guidance!"

Huo yi bowed deeply twice, he then headed off towards the direction the man pointed towards.

"What a cute and respectful junior."

The man laughed, seeing Huo yi run off.

"Indeed, It's a shame that most of the nobility juniors are not like him, Brother Ye han."

The man beside him gave out a 'toot,toot' sound, they then resumed back to their conversation.

_________________________________

Huo yi finally got to the dorm area, The area was split into two, the male and female section. The male section was much bigger than the female section, as there was a majority of males and lesser females in the sect.

He walked to the front gate where then he gave his dorm card. The person behind the counter pointed to the building where his residential place was located at.

Walking down the long hallway with mutiple wooden doors, he finally found his dorm room.

"Creaaak-."

He open the door, revealing a spacious room enough for four people to live in. The room was well-lighted and had a welcoming feeling different from the dark hallway, on both sides of the room were two beds each. The beds were simple but cozy, with white covers and a blanket, giving a feeling of wanting to dive into it. Alongside each bed were wooden cabinets, and a mirror. There was a small window right in the middle of the room, the scenery outside was refreshing.

Huo yi glanced around the room, it seems that he was the first to arrive. He chose the bed nearest to the window, placing his bag on the floor.

"Smells like old man's fart and dusty shit, time for some room fragrance spray."

Eva whipped out a light blue cylincone bottle, she sprayed it in every corner of the room while humming delightfully. The room's fragrance became a fresh, crisp and relaxing scent. It had a tint of citrus to it.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

Eli looked at the furniture around, she was appalled at how shabby it was. She took out some velvet pillows and placed it on Huo yi's bed. She replaced the bed covers with a beautiful scarlet silk pattern. The blanket she put on was thick but cooling. But after seeing the unsymetrical beds, she decided to place 'lower quality' but similar bed furniture on the others to complement the room.

Now it was Celio's turn, next to the window, he placed a round table and four chairs, covering the table with a square cloth. He then placed a vase full of pink roses. 

After redecorating, Huo yi looked at the guardians work and was visibly stunned. The shoddy place transformed into a five-star hotel room. Despite their hate for each other, they unknowningly work together well.

"Damn commoner! Why are you in the same room as me?"

"Shut up, do you think that being some noble's kid gives you the right to order people around? Quit dreaming. I do not want to stay with some snotty spoiled noble too."

"How dare you!"

Two loud voices sounded outside Huo yi's dorm room. Apparently an argument broke out between a noble and a commoner.

Huo yi was afraid of loud sounds, he quickly dove under the blanket.

The door slammed open, a boy who was around ten years old with an annoyed look plastered on his face walked in. The person  behind him was furious at him. 

Huo yi contemplated whether he should get up and greet them, seemingly it was a bad timing. He made a decision to try to make friends with them.

He slowly crawled out of the blanket and tidied his wrinkled clothing up. He then bowed towards the boy who walked in.

"G-Good morning, senior brother. My name is Huo yi."

The boy looked at Huo yi with suprised eyes. Judging from Huo yi's clothes, he definitely was a noble. This is the first time he witnessed a noble being so polite to a commoner. The boy immediately decided that Huo yi was a good-mannered person.

"Good morning, my name is Lu song. As fellow roommates, let's get along peacefully."

He bowed towards Huo yi as well.

"Y-Yes!"

Huo yi answered with delight at his words. His mouth formed a pleased arc.

Lu song got a glimpse at Huo yi's face, eh? A-A girl?

Before he could open his mouth, The noble brat pushed Lu song aside. He then pointed his finger at Huo yi, making him flinch.

"Fellow noble, my name is Zhou Wei xing! Son of Zhou Hua jin. Only nobles should be acquainted with each other instead of lowly commoners."

Zhou Wei xing announced proudly, his face giving a smirk. Lu song rubbed his arm where Zhou Wei xing had pushed him, his mood got more irritated.

Huo yi looked at the two's appearance now that they were closer. Lu song had short brown hair that was freely loose, his eyes giving out a yellowish glimmer. His face was sharp and his body was lean. He was quite good-looking, despite his clothing worn out and dirty.

On the contrary, Zhou Wei xing was clean and neat. His dark blue hair was held up in a knot by a jade hair pin. His orange eyes gave the feeling of confidence and arrogance, as if speaking to him as an equal was an honor. His clothes were expensive and he wore armour that royal guards could only dream about.

"N-Nice to meet you both, Huo yi is grateful for good roommates. I hope we can be good friends in the future." 

Huo yi bowed again, he was trying to hide his sheepish smile. Lu song and Zhou Wei xing were surprised. Lu song thought that Huo yi would agree to Wei xing's obnoxious greeting, but instead was indifferent to social ranking.

Lu song realised the smell and the decor of the room, because he was distracted with Zhou Wei xing's unpleasant behavior, he did not notice at first.

"Huo yi, did you do this?"   

"Hm?"

Zhou Wei xing noticed it as well, he looked around the room. Quite lavish.

"Eh, ah...."

Huo yi didn't know how to reply, it was'nt his work. But he could'nt say it was theirs either.

"Yes, I decorated the room for my fellow roommates. I hope it is up to your standards."

Celio quickly added in, if Huo yi didn't dare say fast enough, they would get suspicious.

"I'm impressed, Your taste is quite good."

Zhou Wei xing nodded. At first he was angry that someone got to pick the bed first, but after seeing the meek Huo yi, he changed his mind.

Both Lu song and Zhou Wei xing were touched, Huo yi was a considerate person in spite of not knowing his roommates personally. They touched the bed and felt the smoothness of the pillow. How soft, and high quality! He must have spent a lot of money.

Lu song picked the bed opposite of Huo yi's, he propped his large bag against the bed frame. He then settled down on the bed. A commoner could never feel this type of bed in their life, except him.

"Thank you for the bed, Huo yi. I am indebted to you."

Lu song said with sincerity.

"Ah, it's no problem! I just did it because I wanted to."

Huo yi gently smiled. His roommates were friendly people.

Zhou Wei xing picked the bed next to Huo yi, he felt that the left side belonged to the nobles and the right to the commoners.

"Brother Huo yi, your face really looks like a girl, and you act like one. Are you sure you are in the right dorm?"

"..."

How blunt! Lu song looked at him with shock. Are all snotty nobles this rude?

Huo yi felt like crying inside. This was the seventh time.

"Don't worry, I am definitely a boy despite my looks..."

Depressed, Huo yi curled up to a huddled position. He started to trace out circles on the blanket.

"Damn noble, just because he looks like a girl does'nt mean you can bully him...!"

Lu song gritted angrily at Zhou Wei xing. Somehow, Lu song words just made the arrow pierce even further into Huo yi.

"Bully? I've done no such thing. Stop pushing the blame to me when you're just some lowly commoner!" 

"Stop calling me a commoner, you shitty noble! Social ranking means nothing in this sect!"

The two began to start fighting, ruffling each other up. Huo yi was just sitting with a awkward expression. Is this my fault? He then noticed something odd. Wasn't there four beds in the room?

Eva looked at the two who were fighting like cats and dogs.

"I fucking ship it."
