Weng Xiping watched Xu Yi walk away and, when she turned around, immediately met her father's inquisitive gaze.
She paused for a moment, then understood, smiling and saying, "Dad, don't overthink."
Weng Yaoshui chuckled, "What do you mean by 'overthink'? Who is that boy? Which class is he in?"
Weng Xiping furrowed her brow slightly and replied, "What are you asking this for? Don't tell me you're overthinking again."
"Heh, can't I ask?" Weng Yaoshui laughed, "But this boy doesn't seem special, just Qi Refinement Second Layer, nothing amazing. Is your vision that low?"
"What?"
Weng Xiping froze, her gaze returning to the direction Xu Yi had left. She shook her head slightly.
Weng Yaoshui admitted, with a bit of jealousy, that the boy had made his precious daughter take notice. He was definitely going to investigate more about him later.
His name was Xu Yi, right?
"Are you really sure he's Qi Refinement Second Layer?" Weng Xiping asked, her expression becoming serious.
Weng Yaoshui raised an eyebrow. Nowadays, cultivators were everywhere, and for higher-level cultivators, age was hard to determine based solely on appearance.
In fact, Weng Yaoshui himself was young and handsome, and when standing with his daughter, they looked more like siblings than parent and child.
"Are you doubting your father's judgment?" Weng Yaoshui chuckled, "Though the boy bought a Breath Suppression Technique scroll, I doubt he's started learning it yet. Even if he did, he couldn't hide it from my eyes."
Weng Yaoshui pointed to his eyes, looking quite proud, "That boy's mentality isn't right—only at Qi Refinement Second Layer and yet he's buying a Breath Suppression Technique. He doesn't even need to hide his cultivation level at that point."
Weng Xiping's expression was odd. She fell silent, seemingly lost in thought.
"Hey, daughter, that boy, is he from your class or Rocket Class Two?" Weng Yaoshui finally couldn't help but ask.
Weng Xiping shook her head slightly. "Neither."
"Neither?" Weng Yaoshui was surprised, "Then he's from another school, maybe First High or Fifth High?"
There were three well-known high schools in Yong City: First High, Second High, and Fifth High.
Weng Xiping went to Second High, and her father knew that her standards were very high. Very few people could catch her attention and even make her take the initiative to greet them.
If this boy wasn't from Rocket Class Two, then he must be from either of the other two schools.
But Weng Xiping shook her head again. "Dad, he's from our school."
"Your school?" Weng Yaoshui was astonished. "Not Rocket Class… You're not telling me he's from the regular class, are you?"
"Yes, he's from the regular class."
"No way," Weng Yaoshui said in disbelief, "You actually care about someone from the regular class? Wait, how could he be in the regular class if he's already Qi Refinement Second Layer? Are the teachers blind?"
Weng Yaoshui's sharp eyes had already noticed a lot from just a brief glance at Xu Yi. Though the boy was at Qi Refinement Second Layer, it was clear he wasn't from a wealthy family.
Since he was a classmate of his daughter, it meant that he wasn't very old.
Achieving this level at such a young age meant he had extraordinary talent, and logically, he shouldn't be in the regular class.
Weng Xiping's gaze flickered. "Dad, do you know why I remembered him?"
"You tell me."
"Yesterday, our school certified a new Qi Refining Monk. This Monk was previously a martial artist." Weng Xiping spoke slowly. "He's from the regular class, and just two days ago, he received the qualification to enter the Transcosmic Reincarnation Tower."
"Two days ago..." Weng Yaoshui froze, "You're saying he entered the Transcosmic Reincarnation Tower for the first time two days ago, and then came out, and he was already at Qi Refining Stage?"
"Yes," Weng Xiping nodded slightly.
At that moment, Weng Yaoshui's expression shifted slightly.
Children from ordinary families had no chance of entering the Transcosmic Reincarnation Tower unless they demonstrated extraordinary talent.
Weng Xiping and others had reached Qi Refining Stage in their third year of high school, but they had been able to do so because of family resources or investors—connections that allowed them to enjoy that privilege early on.
Such privileges came at a huge cost, and sometimes, a good background was really the key to soaring high.
Weng Xiping continued, "He entered the Transcosmic Reincarnation Tower for the first time and reached Qi Refining First Layer. After he was certified, he was given the same privileges as us, and now he can enter the Transcosmic Reincarnation Tower every day."
"You're saying, he went in yesterday, and when he came out, he had advanced from Qi Refining First Layer to Second Layer?"
"Yes."
The father and daughter exchanged a glance, their eyes flickering with understanding.
