As soon as these words came out, the embarrassment on Feng Xiaotian's face disappeared instantly, replaced by an almost obsessed smile, and he looked like he was "love-brained":
"Your Highness, you don't understand! Huo Wu is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Although she has a sharp tongue and a proud personality, she is very kind-hearted.
Last time, a junior student in the academy had a problem with his training, and she took the initiative to help regulate his soul power; another time, when a soul beast attacked, she was the first to rush forward to protect the younger students..."
Feng Xiaotian talked endlessly about Huo Wu's "advantages", his tone full of admiration, as if he were describing a flawless goddess.
Xue Tianxing was speechless after hearing this - in his opinion, Huo Wu's actions were at most "basic operations", but when it came to Feng Xiaotian, they became "evidence of kindness" worthy of praise. It seemed that this guy was completely blinded by love, and no matter how much he said, it would be useless.
Seeing Xue Tianxing didn't say anything, Feng Xiaotian quickly stepped forward and asked anxiously:
"Your Highness, please stop talking about this and teach me how to please a girl! You and Senior Shui Bing'er have such a good relationship; there must be a secret!"
Xue Tianxing spread his hands and said frankly:
"I really don't know how to please a girl. Bing'er and I were attracted to each other from the beginning. She understood my feelings, and I understood hers. There was never any 'pursuit' between us. It was more about accompanying each other and growing together."
Xue Tianxing paused, looking at Feng Xiaotian's lost expression. He couldn't help but add:
"However, I still have to warn you - even though I've never chased a girl before, I know your current method won't work.
If you blindly try to please and obey, Huo Wu will only think you have no opinions of your own and won't take you seriously."
The expectation on Feng Xiaotian's face collapsed instantly, and his eyes dimmed a lot - he thought he could learn the "secret to pursuing love" from Xue Tianxing, but he didn't expect that Xue Tianxing and Shui Binger were a "match made in heaven" and had no similar experience at all. This was of no reference value for his unrequited love.
As for Xue Tianxing's subsequent reminder, he didn't take it to heart at all. Instead, he muttered in his heart: Your Highness has never pursued a girl, so how can you understand the difficulties of pursuing someone?
And he is not me, how can he understand how deep my feelings for Huo Wu are?
As long as I persist, Huo Wu will be impressed by me one day!
Feng Xiaotian forced a smile and said a few polite words to Xue Tianxing, such as "Thank you, Your Highness" and "Sorry for disturbing you", then turned around and quickly left the lounge, thinking only of returning to Huo Wu - even if he could only watch Huo Wu from afar, he felt at ease.
Xue Tianxing looked at Feng Xiaotian's hurriedly departing back and sighed helplessly - it was true that "those involved are often confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly". The other person was willing to be a bootlicker, and it was useless even if he talked his mouth off. He could only wish him good luck.
Just then, the door of the lounge was gently pushed open, and Shui Bing'er walked in.
She had just waited outside for a while, and when she saw Feng Xiaotian leave, she hurried over to see what was going on.
Walking up to Xue Tianxing, Shui Binger asked curiously:
"Tianxing, what on earth did Feng Xiaotian want to talk to you about? He was so mysterious and even chose a different place to talk."
Xue Tianxing told him everything about Feng Xiaotian, asking him for advice on "how to pursue Huo Wu", even Feng Xiaotian's words in defense of Huo Wu and his reminders to him.
After hearing this, Shui Bing'er couldn't help but burst out laughing, almost crying:
"I've known for a long time that Feng Xiaotian likes Huo Wu and follows her around every day. I never thought he would be so 'affectionate' and even come to ask me how to pursue girls!
Doesn't he think that everyone's affection can be won by 'pleasing' them?"
Xue Tianxing also laughed:
"He's just too obsessed, all he has eyes for is Huo Wu, and he can't see his own problems at all.
But when it comes to love, outsiders can't help; he can only figure it out slowly on his own."
Shui Bing'er looked at Feng Xiaotian, who was still circling Huo Wu not far away, and shook her head slightly, her tone carrying a somewhat objective analysis:
"If Feng Xiaotian continues like this, sticking to Huo Wu all day and obeying her orders, he will probably never be able to pursue Huo Wu in this lifetime.
Huo Wu is a proud person, and what she dislikes most are people who have no opinions and are blindly obedient.
If Feng Xiaotian could focus more on improving himself from now on, with his talents - innate full soul power and the mutated two-headed wind wolf martial soul, it wouldn't take long for him to achieve success in the world of soul masters.
By then, he will be dazzling enough that Huo Wu might not even need to actively pursue him, and she might even be attracted to him."
After listening to this, Xue Tianxing nodded in agreement.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
It is said that the person who knows you best is your opponent, and this is indeed true.
Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu have been fighting since they were young, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are "enemies", but it is precisely this long-term "competitive relationship" that allows Shui Bing'er to understand Huo Wu's personality and preferences better than anyone else - she knows Huo Wu's pride, and also knows what kind of people she truly appreciates.
The two of them looked at Feng Xiaotian again.
At this moment, Feng Xiaotian was carefully handing Huo Wu a glass of juice and specifically reminded her, "It's just warmed up, not cold."
Huo Wu frowned and took it, casually saying, "It's too sweet."
Feng Xiaotian immediately turned around to change it, without any dissatisfaction on his face, but instead was full of joy of "being able to do something for Huo Wu."
That submissive look completely lacked the high-spirited energy he had when he released his martial spirit in the fighting arena.
Xue Tianxing retracted his gaze and said helplessly to Shui Bing'er:
"Bing'er, it looks like Feng Xiaotian won't have the chance to understand this.
Right now, his mind is completely focused on how to please Huo Wu, and he can't even think about improving himself."
Shui Bing'er also sighed:
"Yes, those involved are often confused. He put all his thoughts on Huo Wu, but forgot that what truly attracts someone for a long time is never humble flattery, but the brilliance of the individual."
The two did not continue to discuss Feng Xiaotian's matter - after all, feelings are a personal choice, and no matter how much outsiders analyze, they cannot make decisions for the parties involved.
They walked side by side to Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and others and joined in the conversation.
The atmosphere remained lively in the second half of the banquet.
The leaders of each academy were discussing the future development of the soul master world, while the young students were exchanging their cultivation experiences and soul fighting experiences.
Xue Tianxing would occasionally chat with students from the Kamikaze Academy and the Thunder Academy, and learn from them about the training methods of other academies, and indirectly find out the bottom line of the strength of the talented students of these academies.
