Chapter 22 Oscar's Girl-Chasing Adventures
Seeing the strange looks on everyone's faces, Flanders asked, puzzled.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Ma Hongjun scratched his head awkwardly.
"Dean, I just lost."
Flanders was speechless for a moment, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.
He didn't expect to be proven wrong so quickly, especially when he was trying to establish his authority.
He racked his brains quickly to find an excuse.
"That's because you've been lazy and your soul power level isn't high enough. Ye Liuyun even has an extra thousand-year soul ring."
"If your soul power levels are the same, attribute advantage becomes very important."
The others nodded in agreement after hearing Flanders's detailed explanation.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Flanders thought he had finally made amends and didn't want to get entangled with them any longer, so he quickly said...
"Let's disband."
On the dirt road outside the village.
Oscar ran in circles, his eyes occasionally drifting towards the grass by the roadside.
There, Ning Rongrong was sitting on a rock, listlessly picking at the wild grass on the ground, muttering to herself.
"This is so annoying! There's not even anything good to eat in this lousy place, and I have to run... I'm not running!"
"Um... Rongrong."
Oscar stopped, wiped his sweat, and put on a fawning smile.
"If you don't want to run, you can rest here for a while. I'll keep an eye on things for you, and I'll call you if the dean comes."
"Who needs your help?"
Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes at him, her tone spoiled and arrogant.
"Stay away from me!"
Oscar's smile froze for a moment; he felt a little hurt, but he was determined to pursue the goddess of his dreams.
He suppressed his disappointment and continued running laps.
He dared not disobey Dean Flanders's orders.
At the same time, he thought to himself, as long as he kept treating her well, she would eventually be moved.
Watching Oscar's departing figure, Ning Rongrong snorted coldly, stood up, and prepared to sneak into the city for a stroll.
Just then.
"Da, da, da."
A steady sound of footsteps came from behind.
Ning Rongrong turned around and saw Ye Liuyun walking slowly towards her with his hands in his pockets.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, illuminating his handsome yet aloof face, making him appear exceptionally good-looking.
"Ye Liuyun?"
Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment, and her originally arrogant face instantly turned blush, and her heartbeat involuntarily quickened.
The warm embrace and the reassuring feeling from yesterday still lingered in her mind.
"Why are you here too?"
Ning Rongrong nervously adjusted her skirt, trying to make herself look more ladylike.
"Didn't the dean tell you to move around freely?"
Ye Liuyun stopped and looked at the young lady in front of him, who was dressed in noble clothes but had a childlike face.
He silently calculated in his heart:
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, one of the three upper sects, is incredibly wealthy and has two titled Douluo leaders.
Among them, Sword Douluo Chen Xin is known as having the strongest attack power in the world; Bone Douluo Gu Rong is known as having the strongest defense power in the world.
It would be very important to get along well with this little girl.
If Sword Douluo or Bone Douluo discovered him one day, he could use his relationship with them to increase his chances of escaping.
If he was targeted by Spirit Hall or that madman Tang Hao in the future, he might be able to use their identities to his advantage.
Although he thought this way, Ye Liuyun actually had no liking for Ning Rongrong, a pampered young lady.
Willful, brainless, good for nothing except having a good father.
She had princess syndrome.
But he had never been accommodating to people with princess syndrome.
Dealing with this kind of person, even if it was just to take advantage of them, was a hassle for him.
"Come and take a look."
Ye Liuyun replied calmly.
Seeing his coldness towards her, Ning Rongrong felt a little wronged and resentful.
I am so beautiful, and I am also the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Other men would practically fawn over me when they saw me; Oscar's reaction is normal. Why is this guy so indifferent?
Hey! Stop right there!
Ning Rongrong quickly walked up to Ye Liuyun and blocked his way.
Ye Liuyun frowned, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.
They speak so rudely, blocking people's way at the slightest disagreement.
They are impolite and lack manners.
How exactly did Ning Fengzhi teach her?
As soon as Ning Rongrong got close to Ye Liuyun, her mind went blank, and she didn't know what to say. She was really at a loss.
So she took out a heavy money bag from the soul tool at her waist and barely managed to hold it by using both hands.
It shook slightly, producing a crisp sound of gold soul coins clashing together.
Ning Rongrong said somewhat awkwardly:
"I just find this area too boring. I want to go to Soto City to get something good to eat, but I'm alone... I'm a little scared."
"If you're free, could you come with me?"
"There are five hundred gold soul coins in this purse. Order whatever you like, it's on me!"
The golden light shone brightly in the sunlight.
Ye Liuyun stared at the money pouch, his previously indifferent expression instantly freezing.
Five hundred gold soul coins!
How much dessert? Drinks? Food could this buy?
He had never seen so much money in his entire life; it was dazzling.
What a kind, upright, and innocent girl!
As expected of the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she is simply a perfect being who possesses both kindness and beauty.
They were actually willing to spend so much money to treat an ordinary classmate like him to a meal.
What wonderful character and qualities! The other person's upbringing is excellent.
What princess syndrome? This is a real princess.
The frost on Ye Liuyun's face melted instantly, and a "sincere" and "gentle" smile appeared on his lips.
In his eyes, Ning Rongrong was shining brightly.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Ning Rongrong looked at Ye Liuyun's sudden change of expression. Although she felt something was off, she saw him smile at her.
Moreover, she was so excited that her little bit of depression vanished instantly. This change made Ning Rongrong very proud, and she excitedly took his arm.
"Hmm, something seems off. Oh well, never mind."
"Let's go quickly!"
The two walked side by side toward Soto.
Ye Liuyun felt the soft touch on his arm and was filled with emotion.
After all, he's a man too.
As a man, you have to think about what to eat later and also be able to guess what a woman is thinking.
It's a man's responsibility to go out to eat.
Outside the village, a dirt road.
Oscar huffed and puffed as he ran a lap, returning to the starting point covered in sweat, only to find the grass completely empty.
"Huh? Where's Rongrong?"
Oscar looked around but couldn't see a single person.
"Oh no, they must have sneaked out."
Oscar's heart skipped a beat, but then a strange sense of "responsibility" and "self-pity" welled up inside him.
No, we can't let Dean Flanders find out.
Rongrong is delicate and frail; she must have been too tired to run any further before she went to rest.
I'm a man, I have to help her bear this burden!
If I help her get through this, she'll definitely be grateful to me when she finds out.
This is a great opportunity to build a closer relationship!
Thinking of this, Oscar gritted his teeth, pretended to be nonchalant, and continued running the second lap.
He was secretly pleased, thinking that Ning Rongrong was probably watching him from somewhere, moved by his gentlemanly manners.
