At the same time.
Tang San was also beaten black and blue, with two large panda eyes and a face that was bruised all over!
This made his hatred for Su Chen grow even stronger.
Damn it!
Tang San wanted nothing more than to bite Su Chen to death in his heart, and he also hated Ye Zhiqiu. If he hadn't been afraid of exposing his hidden weapon trump card in front of Su Chen, a Soul King over fifty levels… he would have been dead!
Of course.
Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Oscar were relatively better off. Ye Zhiqiu hadn't gone too far; after all, they were young girls and support soul masters, so he showed some restraint.
He mainly beat up Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun. The reason he also gave Tang San a good beating was because Tang San was showing off his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, which really annoyed Ye Zhiqiu.
Su Chen gave Ye Lingling a look. Ye Lingling silently stood up and used her Soul Skill to heal them, instantly restoring Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong to their original state.
Ma Hongjun was just about to celebrate when Ye Lingling suddenly stopped. He looked over, bewildered. "Sis, I haven't even been healed yet! I haven't gotten on the bus!"
Dai Mubai and Tang San were instantly furious. What the heck! Why weren't they getting healed this time?
They'd been beaten pretty badly! Damn it. Why weren't they following the script?
Ye Zhiqiu's group on the field were also bewildered. "Seriously? There's a Nine Heart Begonia healing Soul Master with them?"
"Why didn't you say so earlier!"
"If I'd known you had a Nine Heart Begonia healer, I would have just broken those two little punks' legs."
Zhao Wuji's face was a little awkward. His students were getting beaten up outside, and he was here eating and drinking. It was quite embarrassing, wasn't it?
But there was no choice!
Their strength was too great. Teacher, I can only treat this as part of your training.
Su Chen turned his head and glanced at Tang San and the others not far away, explaining calmly, "Don't misunderstand. I didn't come looking for you specifically. Today's encounter was a genuine coincidence. My girlfriend just reached level fifty."
"We're here to hunt for a soul ring!"
Su Chen spoke seriously, as if he was afraid that Tang San and the others would misunderstand. But these words couldn't fool Xiao Wu and the other two!
Are you sure?
If we hadn't read your diary, we might have actually believed you!
That's right.
When Tang San and Dai Mubai heard this, they suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. They were here to hunt soul beasts?
That's good!
Fortunately, they weren't here specifically to deal with them. Their hearts truly relaxed. After all, how could they bear being tricked by Su Chen in so many different ways?
Zhao Wuji was shocked. He had only just noticed Ye Lingling, who had already reached level fifty.
When did auxiliary soul masters become so strong?
Not long after.
Su Chen and the others finished eating and prepared to go upstairs to rest when Zhu Zhuqing suddenly spoke, calling out, "Hu Liena, could you come to our room for a moment later?"
Su Chen looked at Hu Liena with a strange expression. Hu Liena was also puzzled and turned to Zhu Zhuqing, asking, "You want to see me?"
Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily.
Strange!
Hu Liena was very puzzled. She didn't know either Ning Rongrong or Zhu Zhuqing at all, they were unfamiliar to her.
Why would they want to see her?
"Alright!"
Hu Liena agreed and continued following Su Chen upstairs.
Su Chen asked, a little puzzled, "Do you know Zhu Zhuqing?"
Hu Liena shook her head slightly, replying, "I got to know her through you. Besides, I don't really know anything about her."
Speaking of Zhu Zhuqing, Hu Liena really didn't know much about her, since she hadn't been written about in Su Chen's diary yet. Hu Liena could only say that she was very... big! ( ·.人.· )
Downstairs.
Dai Mubai, his face swollen, asked Zhu Zhuqing, "What are you looking for Hu Liena for?"
Zhu Zhuqing's expression was icy, and she ignored him completely, walking upstairs with Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong.
"Zhu Zhuqing!"
Dai Mubai gritted his teeth and shouted from behind.
Zhu Zhuqing stopped, turned, and said coldly, "The Zhu Zhuqing you knew died on the way here from the Star Luo Empire. The Zhu Zhuqing now has nothing to do with you."
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong both spat at Dai Mubai with disdain before pulling Zhu Zhuqing away.
Dai Mubai stood there, his face flushed red. Hatred surged within him, but he didn't know how to vent it.
Zhao Wuji patted Dai Mubai on the shoulder. "Let's all go rest. We're entering the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow."
Upstairs.
Su Chen had booked a four-person room, just like Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar.
It wasn't that Su Chen didn't want to avoid Dugu Yan; it was just better to be cautious when resting at night, especially when traveling.
Hu Liena said, "I'm going to find Zhu Zhuqing and see what they're up to. Yanzi, do you want to come with me?"
Dugu Yan's face was flushed. Hearing Hu Liena's words, she quickly nodded.
"Okay, I'll go out for a walk with you."
Hu Liena smiled and nodded, giving Su Chen a look as she led Dugu Yan out.
Ye Lingling muttered, looking a little foolish:
"I wonder what Zhu Zhuqing wants to talk to Sister Nana about... oof?"
Su Chen immediately went forward and covered her mouth, starting to prepare to practice the Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
"Hurry up and practice the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, or they'll be back soon."
"Yanzi is here tonight, so we should rest well."
In the corridor.
Hu Liena stood outside a door and knocked.
Knock, knock!
Inside, Zhu Zhuqing heard the knocking and hurried to open the door. Seeing Hu Liena, she politely invited, "Please come in!"
Hu Liena nodded slightly and walked straight in with Dugu Yan. She sat down casually on the sofa and lazily asked, "I don't quite understand why you're looking for me. After all, we're all the same. Is there anything you need to ask me?"
Dugu Yan also sat down, crossing her long legs. She was a few years older than Zhu Zhuqing and the others. Her figure, though not as good as Hu Liena's, was still better than Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu.
Ning Rongrong was about to speak, but Zhu Zhuqing stopped her with a look. Then, Zhu Zhuqing said to Hu Liena,
"Congratulations!"
"You're the luckiest one among us."
This was the first exchange between the friends. Zhu Zhuqing naturally wouldn't let the impetuous little devil Ning Rongrong go first. Otherwise:
She'd just say, "Do you sell Tai Chi?"
Wouldn't that be too awkward?
Hu Liena heard this and replied with a smile, "Thank you!"
"But sometimes luck is also a part of strength, don't you think?"
Ning Rongrong heard this and pouted unhappily, but the fact was right in front of her!
Xiao Wu glanced weakly at Hu Liena. She was very wary of this woman! In front of Hu Liena, she couldn't bring out any of her big sister vibes from the Notting Academy.
