My Whole Class Isekai'd to a Xianxia? Good Thing I Can Do Mind-reading

Huang Xue and Xue Qiang both seemed to be in a sour mood, remaining silent throughout the journey.

Feng Fan, sensing the tension, decided it was best to follow suit. He sat cross-legged on the bluebird's back and focused on cultivating for the entire trip.

He was almost breaking through to the 3rd stage of both the Qi Gathering and Body Forging realms and hoped to achieve it before entering the pocket dimension.

While the 3rd stage wasn't much compared to the peak 9th stage cultivators expected to be inside, any increase in strength could make a difference.

Despite the considerable distance, Elder Peng's bluebird was incredibly fast. In less than an hour, they arrived at Cloudveil City.

Feng Fan glanced at the city from the sky and couldn't help but marvel at it. It was the first city he had seen since arriving in the cultivation world.

Cloudveil City was a large city surrounded by misty, green mountains. Its buildings had an ancient Chinese style, with curved roofs covered in jade-green tiles and carved wooden beams. The streets, paved with smooth cobblestones, bustled with life.

Elder Peng had the bluebird land near the city gate.

"Little girl, go rest in the forest. I'll call you back when needed," he said to the bird.

The bluebird seemed to respond with a sound before flying off

They entered the city on foot and quickly arrived at a modest inn with a sign above the door that read "Siren's Rest."

Before entering, Elder Peng turned to them and handed each of them a gold coin.

"Most citizens of Cloudveil City are mortals, so they use copper, silver, and gold coins as currency instead of qi stones. I'm giving you one gold coin each. It's enough for a mortal family to live for more than six months, so don't waste it."@@novelbin@@

"Book a room each," Elder Peng instructed. "I'll go to the Black Tower Chamber of Commerce and return later. The pocket dimension will open soon, and I'll let you know when the time comes."

The three of them nodded in unison and entered the inn. They each arranged their rooms with the clerk. Since three meals a day were included, Feng Fan decided to book for seven days in advance.

'That saves me the trouble of looking for food,' he thought.

Feng Fan knew he couldn't afford to waste time, so he immersed himself in cultivation. Days passed, and by the third day, he successfully broke through to the 3rd Qi Gathering and Body Forging realms.

Not long after, a knock came at his door.

"Feng Fan, are you there?" It was Huang Xue's voice.

"I'm coming," he replied.

When he opened the door, he found Huang Xue standing there with damp hair, as if she had just taken a shower.

"Can you accompany me around the city? It's our first time leaving the sect, and I want to shop and see the city," she said, her tone casual.

'I want to go on a date with you… this might be my only chance for a while,' she thought.

Feng Fan heard her thoughts and couldn't help but smile. 'She's too cute.'

"Sure, let's go. I just broke through to the 3rd stage, and I'm not expecting another breakthrough before entering the pocket dimension, so I can take a break from cultivating for now."

Huang Xue nodded enthusiastically. "Ah, speaking of cultivation, I've broken through to the 5th stage. Thanks for the cultivation manual. It's amazing!"

Feng Fan waved his hand dismissively. "No need to thank me. We're friends, aren't we?"

With that, Huang Xue and Feng Fan left the inn and wandered through the vibrant streets of Cloudveil City. The lively atmosphere was infectious, with countless stalls and shops offering everything from freshly cooked delicacies to exquisite silk garments.

Huang Xue explored the stalls with genuine excitement, dragging Feng Fan along to sample various foods, some of which were entirely new to him—they didn't exist on Earth.

Feng Fan watched her excitement and couldn't help but smile. 'Even Huang Xue, usually so cold and distant, looks genuinely happy just shopping like an ordinary girl.'

As they passed a jeweler's stall, Feng Fan's eyes caught a black silk choker adorned with a small pendant featuring a black gemstone.

"Wait here, Huang Xue," he said, stepping toward the stall.

"How much for this choker, sir?" Feng Fan asked the merchant.

The jeweler smiled knowingly. "Ah, a fine choice for your lady. How about half a gold coin?"

Feng Fan nodded without hesitation. He'd only spent a silver so far, and since the gold wouldn't be of much use once they left Cloudveil City, he saw no reason to hold back. After paying, he returned to Huang Xue, the choker in hand.

"I got you something," he said, holding out the choker. "Try it on."

Huang Xue's eyes lit up as she took the choker. "It's beautiful. Thank you, Feng Fan."

She carefully fastened it around her neck, then turned to him with a rare smile. "How does it look?"

Feng Fan's smile widened. "It's stunning. And when you smile like that, Huang Xue, you look like a goddess."

Huang Xue's cheeks flushed, and her smile grew bashful. "I'll try to smile more for you," she muttered softly, barely audible.

"Wen Xue! You vixen! How dare you break off the engagement arranged by our families and humiliate me like this?" A man shouted a few meters from Feng Fan and Huang Xue, drawing attention from the crowd. His voice trembling with anger.

"In times of adversity, true feelings are revealed. I've treated you so well all this time, and you always responded warmly. But now, after my cultivation has been crippled, you decide to end things?"

Feng Fan, confused, turned his head toward the commotion. A short-haired man stood there, yelling at a beautiful long-haired woman, whose icy expression betrayed no emotion.

Beside her was a long-haired man wearing a smug grin, his gaze filled with disdain for the shouting man. "Tan Wei, you might have been a genius once, but now you're nothing more than trash. You're no longer worthy of Wen Xue!"

Feng Fan blinked in disbelief, struggling to process the scene unfolding before him. 'A broken engagement after losing cultivation? A smug villain spouting clichés? What kind of overused drama trope is this?'
