“Who are you?
How do you know me?
What do you want with me?”
Xiao Wu fired off a series of questions, her eyes filled with wariness.
Zhu Zhuqing was not good with words to begin with, and she was even more at a loss when asked this question.
She pointed to the newly hung plaque behind her and said honestly, “I am a student of the Supreme Academy, and my teacher would like to invite you to join our academy…!”
She added, “Why don’t you meet him?
He’s right there in the yard.
Let him explain everything to you in detail.”
Xiao Wu became more alert and subconsciously took two steps back.
“No, thank you for the invitation, but we already have an Academy we’ve decided to go to!” With that, she turned to leave.
Zhu Zhuqing became anxious.
If the task is not completed, her teacher will be disappointed.
She had never done anything like this before; she felt like a pimp!
(TL: terrible comparison… plus in this comparison she wouldn’t be the pimp…)
There was no other way; she wasn’t good with words, so she could only try to coax the person over first, and then leave the rest to the teacher.
“Just one meeting, I promise you won’t be disappointed…!”
Just as Xiao Wu was about to refuse again, before she could even utter a word, she saw a person slowly walking out of the courtyard.
It was Lin Feng.
He had clear, bright eyes, a handsome face, and a faint smile on his lips, giving him an appearance that naturally made people lower their guard.
Not to mention the 99 charm points boosted by the system!
Xiao Wu was unconsciously stunned, her eyes somewhat dazed, and she was momentarily lost in thought.
‘This man is really handsome.’
‘Hmm, making friends doesn’t seem so bad?’
(TL: the rogue rabbit everyone)
But Lin Feng didn’t intend to just be friends.
He smiled at Xiao Wu and said gently, “Hello, I’m Lin Feng.
Do you have time to chat for a bit?”
He only showed up because he saw that Zhu Zhuqing couldn’t handle it.
“Huh?
Um, oh, what, what do you want to talk about?” Xiao Wu’s ears turned slightly red, and she didn’t even realize that her tone had softened a bit.
This usually fearless and wild girl surprisingly showed a hint of shyness.
She couldn’t explain it herself, but she felt a strange attraction to this person, even stronger than that to her Xiao San.
“If you don’t mind, would you like to come in and sit for a while?”
He glanced at the person opposite him, and his eyes lit up.
Turning to Zhu Zhuqing, who was still somewhat dazed, he said, “Zhuqing, look behind you, the girl in the lace-trimmed skirt has arrived too.
Go and invite her over.”
Zhu Zhuqing then came to her senses.
She had originally wanted to secretly learn how the teacher “poached” people.
After hearing Lin Feng’s words, she knew she had to go to work again, so she nodded and turned to find Ning Rongrong.
Xiao Wu followed Lin Feng into the courtyard in a daze.
Before she could even sit down, she heard the other person’s voice again, calm yet clear:
“Xiao Wu, her martial soul is the Soft-Boned Enchanting Rabbit, and she comes from…!
The Star Dou Great Forest…!”
Having already confirmed that no one was around, Lin Feng decided to be direct and revealed her identity.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu froze on the spot, her face drained of color, filled with unease and shock.
She stared at Lin Feng with wide eyes, as if looking at a terrifying demon.
She wanted to escape, yet she couldn’t help but want to know…
She mustered her courage, her voice trembling uncontrollably: “Who…who are you?
How do you know all this…!”
Since Lin Feng had already made his point clear, Xiao Wu felt there was no point in pretending to be confused.
It’s better to ask directly.
She was filled with unease: ‘How could my identity have been exposed?
Is he a Titled Douluo?
But he was so young…
wait, could he also be a Soul Beast?’
Since he even knows she comes from the Star Dou Great Forest, he must know even more…!
Lin Feng maintained his composed smile: “I know all your secrets.
But don’t worry, I don’t intend to do anything to you.
I’ve only asked you here to inquire whether you’d like to join my Supreme Academy.”
He paused briefly, then his tone became more serious: “In other words, I want to take you as my apprentice.”
Whether or not to join the academy is another matter; that’s not what Xiao Wu cares about most right now.
She just wanted to know how he knew her identity.
“I want to know, how do you know about me?”
She had a bad feeling: ‘This place is no longer safe.
Is it too late to escape now?
Should she just kowtow to him?’
Lin Feng didn’t answer her question directly, but instead dropped another bombshell:
“Let me tell you a secret.”
“Actually, you were already being targeted by a Titled Douluo when you were six years old, but you never realized it yourself.”
He said that to deliberately hang a knife in her heart.
Xiao Wu felt a chill run down her spine and her scalp tingle.
“You…you’re not lying to me?
Why are you telling me all this…!”
“I’m just giving you a heads-up!
If you ever encounter danger in the future, you can come to me, and I’ll protect you.”
“Okay, don’t be so nervous, or you’ll wet your pants.
I won’t tell anyone your secret.”
“I’ll stay here for a month.
Come find me anytime you’ve figured things out.”
While the two were talking, Tang San outside was getting impatient.
What is it that requires such a long discussion?
The girl in black was clearly within his sight, but Xiao Wu followed a strange man into the courtyard, making him extremely uneasy.
Time ticked by, and he felt a sudden tightness in his chest.
Unable to contain himself any longer, he finally broke away from the group.
He stormed straight into the courtyard where the Supreme Academy was located.
As soon as Tang San entered the courtyard, he saw Xiao Wu talking quietly with a strange man, and a feeling of displeasure welled up in his heart.
He squinted at Lin Feng, his eyes revealing undisguised hostility, then turned to Xiao Wu and said, “Xiao Wu, it’s time to go, it’s almost our turn to register.”
He noticed that Xiao Wu seemed dazed and absent-minded, and her body was even trembling slightly.
His first thought was whether she had been bullied by this man.
He strode forward, shielding Xiao Wu behind him, and questioned Lin Feng in a cold, hard tone: “What did you do to her?”
Xiao Wu, fearing her secret would be exposed, quickly grabbed Tang San’s sleeve and explained, “Xiao San, I’m fine.
He didn’t do anything to me.
Let’s go back.”
She was filled with anxiety, wondering if Tang San had heard what she had just said.
Lin Feng remained calm and composed, chuckled lightly, and waved to Xiao Wu: “Remember what I said.
The choice is yours.”
Tang San was completely baffled, while Xiao Wu became increasingly preoccupied.
She had only just arrived when not only was her identity exposed, but she also learned that she had been secretly watched by a Titled Douluo.
Thinking about all this, she felt a chill run through her body.
She’d had enough of living in constant fear all these years.
She even wished that Lin Feng was just lying to her.
“Xiao San, I’m really alright…!”
She continued in a low voice, “How about we switch to another Academy?”
Compared to Lin Feng’s allure, Xiao Wu chose safety above all else!
Xiao Wu just wants to escape now, to get as far away from here as possible.
This place made her uneasy.!
