Spring passed and autumn came. It had been more than two years since I arrived at Notting College, and nearly a year since I asked Xiao Wu to help me get information about the Immortal Herb.
The way things unfolded smoothly made Ye Qiu feel a sense of unreality.
At first, Ye Qiu thought it would take some effort.
Unexpectedly, it happened that very day!
Xiao Wu merely flipped through a small booklet in front of Tang San, and he couldn't hold back. To make Xiao Wu forgive him and to close the distance between them, he spilled everything clearly.
Perhaps Tang San was able to tell her so easily because he felt that these Immortal Herbs were somewhat ethereal and elusive.
In any case, Ye Qiu got what he wished for.
Additionally, after frequently having Xiao Wu and Tang San spar, Tang San's Mysterious Jade Hand, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and Controlling Crane Catching Dragon had been mostly replicated.
Aside from Hidden Weapons Hundred Solutions, Poison, and Chaotic Cloak, Tang San, that great fool, was almost completely exploited.
Ye Qiu knew that what he was doing was a bit improper, but becoming enemies was only a matter of time. From the moment Xiao Wu came before him, it was already destined!
After all, the General Principles of Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, third rule, states: If you determine that an opponent deserves to die, do not show mercy!
...
In the Seventh Dorm, only Ye Qiu was present, sitting cross-legged on his bed, silently cultivating.
"Alas!" He sighed deeply, his voice tinged with helplessness. His spirit power had long reached level ten, but his Sharingan was still in the two-tomoe state.
This prevented him from attaching a spirit ring to his Spirit for a long time.
He didn't want to simply get a four-hundred-year-limit spirit ring.
After years of understanding, Ye Qiu deeply knew that Spirit Beasts found it difficult to develop intelligence. Perhaps in terms of physical body and spirit power, they were indeed more advantageous than humans, but in terms of mental force or soul power, humans were superior!
Sharingan could greatly enhance Ye Qiu's mental force. For his plans, the three-tomoe state was the most perfect and suitable!
It could maximize his benefits.
"Hoo." He exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. Ye Qiu no longer bothered with these matters. If it truly didn't work out, he would just make do with the two-tomoe state!
As usual, he habitually looked at the bed next to his.
Xiao Wu, who usually liked to stick to him, had been out for a whole night, and he really missed her. Ye Qiu naturally knew what she went out to do.
'I wonder if she has condensed her Second Soul Skill yet.'
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu's lips slowly curved into a smile. When he saw the bed on the other side of Xiao Wu's bed, his expression turned cold again.
That was Tang San's shameless bed. Perhaps Xiao Wu's frequent sparring with him had given him a misconception, and he had contracted 'erotomania'!
Normally, when Xiao Wu was around, he wouldn't dare to cause trouble. But unexpectedly, when Ye Qiu returned from outside last night, he found that this guy had actually moved his bed next to hers.
It was truly annoying!
Crack!
The door of the Seventh Dorm opened, and a slightly dark-skinned young man walked in.
Ye Qiu's gaze swept over him. He keenly noticed that Tang San had broken through again.
Tang San wore a smile, as if he had just seen Ye Qiu. "Eh? Ye Qiu, still cultivating? You're really diligent!"
Although it was a compliment, to Ye Qiu, it was undoubtedly a mockery.
"Mm!" He replied indifferently.
Tang San didn't mind. He walked to his bed, tidying up his belongings, his mouth never stopping.
"Oh, by the way, I have good news for you. I've already broken through to level twenty! Later, Grandmaster will take me to acquire my second spirit ring."
"Then congratulations to you. You'll soon become a Spirit Grandmaster." Ye Qiu remained unmoved, his expression showing no change.
"Haha... Thanks! But compared to Xiao Wu, I'm still a bit slow. But it's okay, after today, Xiao Wu and I will both be two-ring Spirit Masters." When he said this, Tang San's expression became even more triumphant, and a hint of tenderness even flashed in his eyes.
Ye Qiu took all of this in, not humoring him again, merely curling his lips in disdain.
Tang San had almost finished tidying his things, storing them in his Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges. He walked to the door, opened it, and was about to leave when he turned back.
"Ye Qiu, you... you really need to work harder! Otherwise, Xiao Wu... Heh heh!" After giving him a meaningful look, he left.
"Heh heh..." Ye Qiu was also angered into laughter. "What is this? A show of force? Or is he telling me to recognize my place and stay away from Xiao Wu?"
Tang San's actions were undoubtedly pointing his finger at Ye Qiu and cursing him, 'What class are you? Do you even deserve to be with Xiao Wu?'
"Ah~" Ye Qiu stretched lazily. He didn't plan to cultivate anymore. He'd go out for a walk and find a place to practice Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track or something.
Ye Qiu left, and the Seventh Dorm was empty!
...
Noon.
"Bang!"
The door of the Seventh Dorm was suddenly kicked open. Who would dare to be so presumptuous in the dorm of Notting College's big sister?
Wang Sheng and the others inside were already used to it, because the only one who dared to do so was their Xiao Wu Jie.
Her voice was heard before she was seen.
"Xiao Qiu, I'm back!" Her voice was clear and penetrating.
Xiao Wu, who had already opened her arms, scanned the room. "Eh? Where's Xiao Qiu?"
"Xiao Wu Jie, have you really become a Spirit Grandmaster?" Wang Sheng ran to her, circling her twice. He had never seen such a young Spirit Grandmaster!
"Of course! I've already been certified at Spirit Hall, and I even brought back gold coins!" She patted the small satchel at her waist.
Xiao Wu didn't want to say much more. She had been away for so long and missed Ye Qiu. "Speaking of which, where did Xiao Qiu go?"
"Oh, Ye Qiu went out this morning and hasn't returned yet!" Wang Sheng avoided Xiao Wu's eyes. He didn't know why, but he always felt that Xiao Wu Jie seemed to have become more beautiful.
"Is that so~ Hmph! He said he would wait for me to come back!" She pouted unhappily, waved Wang Sheng away, and walked towards Ye Qiu's bed.
"Eh?" Xiao Wu's peripheral vision suddenly noticed that the bed next to hers, which had long been cleared, was occupied? Didn't they know that no one was allowed to sleep there?
"Wang Sheng! What's going on there?" Xiao Wu frowned, pointing at the bed. She was a little angry!
"Uh... Xiao Wu Jie, that's Brother San's spot now." Wang Sheng felt a bit cowardly. Matters between the two bigshots were not something he could participate in.
"Tang San?" Her delicate brows furrowed. "This guy... is so annoying!"
It was bad enough that he usually disturbed her time with Xiao Qiu, but now he was causing trouble to a new level.
'Xiao Qiu wouldn't be angry because of this, would he?' Thinking of this, Xiao Wu put her hands on her hips and commanded, "You guys throw his stuff out for me!"
"Xiao Wu Jie, isn't that bad?"
"What's bad about it?"
"Brother San is also a Spirit Grandmaster now. We're afraid..." Wang Sheng bent over, scratching his head, not daring to look at her.
"Hmph! Who's afraid of whom? Xiao Wu Jie will do it herself!" Xiao Wu couldn't tolerate anything that threatened her relationship with Xiao Qiu!
...
As the sun set, twilight time arrived.
Tang San had successfully hunted a Ghost Vine and obtained his Second Soul Skill, Parasite!
Bidding farewell to Grandmaster, he eagerly rushed back to the dorm. He felt that at this time, Xiao Wu should have returned.
As he expected, upon entering the door, he saw Xiao Wu sitting on the edge of the bed, looking much prettier.
For a moment, Tang San couldn't help but stare in a daze.
Xiao Wu's Second Soul Skill, Charm, had subtly changed her temperament, and to Tang San, it was simply a deadly poison!
"Xiao Wu, you're back!" He squeezed his throat, speaking softly, afraid of being rude to the beauty.
"Hmph!" Unexpectedly, Xiao Wu completely ignored him, instead letting out a cold snort and turning her head away.
Only then did Tang San realize the atmosphere was off. Wang Sheng and the others in the distance were silent as cicadas in winter, and a pile of junk was stacked in the hallway...
