Afternoon.
Zhu Zhuqing and the other two returned to Shrek, while Su Yan rode a swift horse towards Heaven Dou City.
Now that he was somewhat proficient at riding, he immediately sent a private message to Dugu Yan after setting off.
Private Message.
[Su Yan: Little Wild Goose, do you still want to take a shortcut?]
[Yanzi is not a Swallow:???]
Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Dugu Yan sat in the classroom, feeling completely bewildered.
No?
You're really going to give me a shortcut?
But.
Dugu Yan hesitated.
Then she replied to Su Yan in the private chat.
[Yanzi is not a Swallow: I think I should know what you look like before I consider it. What if you're an old geezer in his seventies? Then I'd rather not have the reward.]
[Su Yan: Hahaha!]
[Su Yan: I'm on my way to Heaven Dou City now. I estimate I'll arrive tomorrow morning. You'll know when we meet then.]
[Yanzi is not a Swallow: What?]
Dugu Yan was stunned upon hearing this.
Her mind was blank at this moment. Su Yan was actually coming to find her, Su Yan was actually coming to find her!
No?
You're actually going to meet me offline?
Dugu Yan was very excited, but she had a worry: what if Su Yan was an old geezer in his seventies?
He wouldn't be older than her grandfather, would he?
Oh my god!
Dugu Yan felt numb just thinking about it.
[Yanzi is not a Swallow: Don't come over... ah!???]
[Su Yan: Selfie.JPG.]
Dugu Yan almost couldn't help but laugh when she saw Su Yan's selfie.
Oh my goodness!
How was this an old geezer?
This was clearly the man of her dreams!
Seriously.
The video Ning Rongrong filmed, she couldn't help but watch it several times every quiet night, sometimes making Ye Lingling curious as to why her body would be hot when she woke up.
[Su Yan: Alas, if you don't welcome me, then I'll turn back now?]
[Yanzi is not a Swallow: No, I mean, hurry up and come over, hurry up!]
[Yanzi is not a Swallow: Are you really coming to find me?]
[Yanzi is not a Swallow: I was wondering why Little Princess and Kitty were always bickering. So you're Su Yan, and Su Yan is you, hahaha!]
Dugu Yan was laughing happily, attracting the attention of everyone in the classroom. They all looked at her with confused expressions.
Ye Lingling sat beside her, her beautiful eyes gazing at her with a hint of curiosity! There was no activity in the Group Chat, so why was Little Wild Goose suddenly so happy?
"Hehe."
Dugu Yan didn't care at all. She patted Ye Lingling and said, "Come on, come out with me quickly. I have something very happy to tell you."
Ye Lingling nodded slightly and followed Dugu Yan out of the classroom.
"Little Wild Goose, what makes you so happy?" Ye Lingling asked, full of confusion, as they walked through the academy's woods after leaving the classroom.
Dugu Yan replied cheerfully:
"Someone... a very important person, is coming to find me tomorrow."
Dugu Yan's lips curved upwards, and the joyful happiness on her face made Ye Lingling feel as if she saw three words: love brain.
Ye Lingling felt strange inside. Could it be Su Yan?
After all, besides Su Yan in the Group Chat, could anyone else make Little Wild Goose so suddenly happy?
"Who is it?"
Ye Lingling asked.
Just as Dugu Yan was about to speak, she remembered the electric shock she received when she first got the Group Chat and tried to tell her grandfather. She could only reply:
"A very mysterious person. I can't tell you the specifics. You'll accompany me to the academy gate to pick him up tomorrow."
Ye Lingling nodded.
Then Dugu Yan immediately regretted it.
Private Message.
[Su Yan: Do you have a good best friend named Ye Lingling? Remember to bring her along tomorrow. I want to get to know her.]
Dugu Yan's face instantly filled with question marks.
[Yanzi is not a Swallow:???]
[Yanzi is not a Swallow: You're looking for me, could it be to use me to get close to Lingling?]
After sending the message, Dugu Yan looked at Ye Lingling with a complicated expression.
How could this quiet best friend make Su Yan specifically ask to see her?
[Su Yan: Of course not. I'm looking for you this time, first, to meet you, and then to help you and your grandfather, Dugu Bo.]
[Su Yan: We'll talk about the specifics when we meet tomorrow. I'll go directly to the South Gate of Heaven Dou Royal Academy tomorrow. Remember to bring Ye Lingling to pick me up.]
[Yanzi is not a Swallow:...]
Dugu Yan pouted, always feeling that something wasn't right.
"Lingling."
Ye Lingling nodded slightly, looking at Dugu Yan with a puzzled expression.
Dugu Yan, however, asked directly:
"Will you steal my man?"
"Huh?"
Ye Lingling's mind was filled with question marks. "Little Wild Goose, what are you talking about?"
Dugu Yan pouted, thought for a moment, and then pulled Ye Lingling to warn her:
"The person coming to find me tomorrow is very handsome, but you absolutely must not fall for him, because he seems to already have a girlfriend."
"And this man is very fickle, the kind who likes to have many wives and concubines. With your personality, you definitely won't be able to handle him, so you absolutely must not get yourself entangled."
Ye Lingling:???
Ye Lingling nodded thoughtfully, already guessing something, and immediately sent a private message to Su Yan in her mind.
[Group Member Number Nine: You'll be in Heaven Dou City tomorrow, right?]
[Su Yan:???]
[Su Yan: You're Ye Lingling?]
Outside Suotuo City.
Su Yan, riding his horse, chuckled when he saw Group Member Number Nine's private message.
Based on Group Member Number Nine's previous statements, she had been lurking by someone's side without being discovered.
Su Yan had guessed at the time that this person might be Ye Lingling... and it really was her!
Dugu Yan must have told her something just now, and she immediately guessed that he was coming to Heaven Dou City to find Dugu Yan.
[Group Member Number Nine: Be careful on the road. We'll pick you up at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy gate tomorrow morning.]
Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Ye Lingling looked at Dugu Yan with a half-smile, which made Dugu Yan confused, always feeling that something was not quite right.
"Lingling?"
"Hmm?"
Ye Lingling looked at Dugu Yan with a faint smile, while Dugu Yan thoughtfully said, "I suddenly realized that you've changed a bit these past few days."
"You've started to smile more."
"Oh!"
Ye Lingling nodded slightly and replied seriously, "Probably. After all, we've reached the age where we should be looking for boyfriends. If our personalities don't change, we won't find boyfriends."
"Ah?"
"You, you, you..."
Dugu Yan was shocked to hear this. "Ye Lingling, I've decided not to let you pick him up with me tomorrow. You're actually starting to feel romantic urges; what am I going to do!"
...Shrek Academy.
Tang San slowly woke up and saw Oscar sitting in the room, idly playing with small toys.
"You're Oscar?"
"Xiao Wu... where's Xiao Wu?"
Oscar heard Tang San's voice, turned his head, and said:
"Tang San, you're awake."
"Xiao Wu and the others went shopping in Suotuo City with Su Yan."
"Hmm?"
Tang San sat up abruptly, a look of anger in his eyes.
You jungle Su Yan!
I, Tang San, fought to the death and passed out, and you actually took Xiao Wu shopping during this time?
This is outrageous.
You have found the Dao of death!
So infuriating.
Tang San was now even suspecting that Su Yan, that scoundrel, deliberately instigated him to fight desperately so he could take the opportunity to flirt with Xiao Wu.
Damn it.
Thinking of this, Tang San's body almost recovered from anger.
Bastard.
He had fallen for his trick again.
Oscar immediately produced a Sausage and handed it over, saying, "Eat a few more Sausages now that you're awake. It'll help you recover."
"Ugh~"
Tang San saw the Big Sausage and immediately vomited out bitter water.
Now, what disgusted him wasn't Oscar's spirit chant, but the deep throat damage Su Yan had inflicted upon him!
Su Yan, how can I ever heal from the harm you've caused me!
