On the deserted streets, the sky churned with a gloomy gloom.
The blurry man who walked in front of her never looked at her once, until Mu Xiaoyan said "Yes."
The blurry-looking man continued to ask questions, which suddenly caused the atmosphere to freeze.
"So you always do this, ruining your friends' reputations behind their backs?"
This statement came too suddenly and too directly.
Mu Xiaoyan's face, which had been wearing a pitiful expression, froze instantly.
A hint of panic flashed in her eyes as she hurriedly waved her hands to explain, her voice trembling slightly.
"I...I didn't...Brother, you've misunderstood, I just..."
"You contact me often, are you interested in me?"
The blurry-looking man didn't give her a chance to explain, interrupting her again with the same calm and collected tone.
"Or is it that you only came because you saw Jiangzhu often coming to see me, to show that you are more charming than her, or to compete for what belongs to her?"
"Tick-tock...tick-tock..."
Just then, the sky seemed to have had enough, and the rain that had been brewing for so long finally poured down.
The two stopped beside a flower bed.
The blurry-looking man stopped for the first time, turned around, and looked directly at the rain-soaked girl in front of him.
Mu Xiaoyan met his gaze, and she clearly felt that there was no appreciation in his eyes, only an undisguised...
dislike.
"Everything you say and do disgusts me."
These few words made Mu Xiaoyan's eyes widen suddenly, and the shame, anger and resentment deep in her eyes almost burst forth.
Her breathing became rapid, her chest heaving violently, but she gritted her teeth and forced a weak smile, her voice trembling.
"You...you didn't ask if we were friends?"
"Could it be... that you want to know more about me?"
The blurry-looking man seemed somewhat bored as he watched her continue acting.
He turned around again and looked at the rain-soaked street ahead.
"Well, I've learned pretty much everything today."
"Therefore, you'd better realize one thing."
He tilted his head slightly and left behind a single, chilling remark.
"You're nowhere near as good as her."
"Whether it's this face or this heart."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyan's pretense shattered completely. Her features contorted with jealousy and anger, and her teeth clenched so tightly they made a grinding sound.
But the blurry-faced man clearly had no intention of saving her face, and continued to stab her in the back: "Someone as ugly and twisted as you."
"No wonder all your male friends have abandoned you for her."
"After all, everyone's eyes aren't blind."
After saying that, he patted non-existent dust off his shoulders as if he had gotten something dirty on them.
"Please stay away from me from now on, and don't come here to disgust me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he opened an oil-paper umbrella that appeared out of nowhere and left without looking back, leaving Mu Xiaoyan standing there alone.
She let the cold rain lash her contorted, angry face, looking utterly pathetic.
This reversal came too quickly.
After a brief silence, the entire continent erupted in a cacophony of discussion.
Wow, amazing!
"Is this the legendary tea connoisseur? His eyes are incredibly sharp!"
They originally thought the host was just a vulgar person who would be seduced by beauty, but they never expected him to be so clear-headed!
Shrek Academy.
Ma Hongjun's mouth dropped open, forgetting to even eat the chicken leg in his hand, and he stammered, "What a clear-eyed guy..."
"To be honest, if it were me, looking at that girl's pitiful appearance, I really wouldn't be able to understand the hidden meaning in her words."
"You might get completely fooled."
Dai Mubai frowned deeply, his heterochromatic eyes filled with great confusion.
He stroked his chin, deep in thought: "Something's not right..."
"Since this kid is surrounded by so many beautiful women, how come he hasn't made a move on any of them yet?"
"You won't even eat food that's offered to you?"
"Does he have no desires at all each day?"
Oscar rolled his eyes speechlessly and remarked, "Boss Dai, your focus seems to be a bit different from ours."
"They are just being virtuous and self-disciplined. It's you who accepts anyone who comes your way."
Tang San, who had been tense, relaxed a little at this moment.
Since there are so many beauties in this mysterious dueling arena, Xiao Wu's chances of making the list are much smaller.
He speculated, "Is there a possibility..."
Tang San analyzed seriously: "Could it be that he likes men?"
"hiss--!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding young people gasped and rubbed the goosebumps on their arms.
Ma Hongjun subconsciously shrank back: "Third Brother, your joke is a bit lame."
Although Tang San's words were somewhat outrageous, everyone gained a new understanding of this venue owner.
The image on the sky flickered and jumped again.
The rainy streets disappeared, replaced by the sunny Xia Chun Square.
This time, however, the two were noticeably closer.
The blurry-looking man lay lazily on the soft grass, his hands behind his head, basking in the sun.
Jiangzhu, however, did not sit to the side as she had before.
She turned to the side, gently resting her head on the shoulder of the blurry man, a happy smile on her face.
I have some good news for you!
Jiangzhu happily shared her joy.
"These past few days, our academy has been preparing to organize students whose soul power has reached level 29 to obtain soul rings and go to the Star Dou Great Forest for some training."
"The team will be led by Teacher Yang and a very capable Teacher Shi, and it will take about ten days."
As she said this, she looked up, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at the blurry man.
"If all goes well, when I return, I'll be a powerful level 30 Soul Master!"
"Teacher Yang also said that after we get back, she will select outstanding students to form a team!"
Upon hearing this, the blurry-looking man reached out and gently smoothed her rosy hair, which had been ruffled by the breeze, his voice soft and gentle.
"Really? That's good."
"Then when you come back safely, I'll prepare a gift for you to celebrate."
"Really?"
Jiangzhu propped herself up, her big eyes full of anticipation: "Don't lie to me!"
The blurry-looking man smiled and nodded: "I'm not lying to you."
Having received his promise, Jiangzhu nestled against him again, a happy smile on her face.
However.
Everyone who witnessed this scene couldn't help but twitch their lips.
Based on previous events, it's common for people to make such a promise and then celebrate upon returning; something bad is bound to happen next.
As expected.
The next moment, the scene abruptly changed.
The originally warm and bright style of the scene changed instantly, and the shadows of the trees swayed in the dark night.
Jiangzhu's group of students were currently sitting in a circle, and everyone's face was filled with tension.
Although Jiangzhu did indeed have three spirit rings shining on her body, she had clearly successfully advanced to the Spirit Master level.
But at this moment, their situation is more likely to be dire than hopeful.
In the dense shadows of the surrounding woods, countless pairs of eyes, emitting an eerie green glow, lit up, densely packed like will-o'-the-wisps.
