Diary—Chapter 20: A Small Misunderstanding? We Are Sleeping in the Same Room, and There's Still a Misunderstanding?
"You don't need to go to the other two levels. Just take them to the fourth level,"
The admissions teacher nodded at Dai Mubai with a blessing.
Dai Mubai wanted to continue questioning Zhu Zhuqing's identity, but after receiving a subtle look from the teacher, he temporarily held back.
He cast a deep glance at Zhu Zhuqing, then led a few others and walked inside.
Tang San, wanting to chat with Luo Ye, took the initiative to speak.
"When you released your martial soul and soul rings just now, I thought it would be the same as yesterday. Your three hundred-thousand-year soul rings scared me."
Luo Ye smiled and waved his hand.
"That's just an illusion imitation of my soul skill's effect. No matter what, I can't have a 100,000-year soul ring. At most, it's used to deceive people."
Dai Mubai's face darkened upon hearing this. He was the biggest victim of Luo Ye's illusion imitation soul skills.
Especially recalling how he knelt before Luo Ye yesterday in front of Tang San and others—he almost went crazy.
Dai Mubai snorted coldly and spoke in a hard tone.
"This little trick can only deceive fools. When you reach the fourth level, you'll see that in the face of true strength, all schemes and tricks are useless."
Luo Ye didn't give Dai Mubai any respect and responded sharply.
"Really? Then why did you kneel so quickly yesterday?"
"You—!"
Dai Mubai suddenly turned around and stared at Luo Ye fiercely, his eyes full of ferocity, as if he wanted to tear him apart.
But Luo Ye remained calm in the face of his anger. Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing on the side shot him a sharp glare.
"What do you want to do?"
Dai Mubai's anger intensified when he saw this.
If his guess was correct—that the girl in front of him was Zhu Zhuqing—then it meant his fiancée knew about his conflict with Luo Ye, yet she chose to stand on Luo Ye's side without hesitation.
How could that be different from his current wife having an affair?
Seeing that the atmosphere was freezing over, Tang San quickly stepped in to smooth things out.
"Okay, okay. Maybe we'll all be classmates in the future, and what happened yesterday was just a small misunderstanding. There's no need to make things so awkward."
Small misunderstanding?
'My fiancée lives in the same room with him, and you're saying it's just a small misunderstanding? If your female companion did something like that, could you still confidently call it a misunderstanding?'
Dai Mubai's eyes turned red, and he even hated Tang San.
Fortunately, he still had some rationality. He knew he was no match for Luo Ye, and ultimately, he was the one at fault in this matter.
When he took the twin sisters to the Rose Hotel, he ran into Zhu Zhuqing unintentionally revealing his ridiculous behavior in Suotuo City over the years.
Even if Flanders and Shrek's teachers knew about it, they might not speak up for him.
Anyway, they were about to become students at Shrek, and there would be plenty of opportunities to redeem themselves in the future. No matter what, he had to get Zhu Zhuqing back.
Thinking of this, Dai Mubai took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and frustration, and continued leading the way.
Luo Ye glanced at his back, secretly smirking, then started writing in his diary again.
—
[Although Zhu Zhuqing has seen Dai Mubai's true face and won't be deceived by him like in my previous life, she must be alert to his desperate actions.]
[In my previous life, when Zhu Zhuqing wanted to leave with me, Dai Mubai tried to murder her, even intending to kill her outright.]
[Since I wasn't there at the time, Dai Mubai almost succeeded. Fortunately, Xiao Wu's good relationship with Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing helped her choose to intervene. Otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous.]
[Even if it was out of kindness in my previous life, I can't just watch them fall into the fire pit of Shrek. I have to convince them to leave with us as soon as possible.]
[Ning Rongrong is relatively easier to deal with; she's just recently come into contact with the Shrek group. But Xiao Wu is more difficult. Having been deceived by Tang San for so long, she still regards him as her brother.]
[If I rashly tell her that Tang San is an extraterritorial demon, she probably won't believe it. She might even think I'm trying to sow discord, which could backfire.]
[Perhaps, only after we're more familiar with each other and with Zhu Zhuqing helps me, can Xiao Wu be convinced to leave with us.]
—
After reading this new diary entry, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong exchanged calm glances and decided to have a good chat after the entrance exam.
Especially Zhu Zhuqing—she now regarded Luo Ye's affairs as her own and felt she didn't need to wait for Luo Ye to speak. She could test Xiao Wu's attitude first.
Anyway, it seemed that the other party also had a copy of the diary, which meant she knew Tang San's identity as the extraterritorial demon. It all depended on what Xiao Wu planned to do next.
As for Ning Rongrong—
Just as Luo Ye said, Ning Rongrong had not yet established a close relationship with the Shrek group. After hearing Luo Ye mention that her family and elders might be killed by Tang San and that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect could perish in his hands, she would not be deceived or used by Tang San as in Luo Yi's previous life.
While Zhu Zhuqing was deep in thought, they arrived at the fourth stage of Shrek's assessment.
Dai Mubai looked at Zhao Wuji, who was sleeping soundly in a chair and spoke.
"Teacher Zhao, I'm bringing people to undertake the fourth level of assessment."
"Hmm? Has anyone finally made it to the fourth level this year? Or are there five?"
Zhao Wuji rubbed his sleepy eyes, surprised to see Luo Ye and Zhu Zhuqing along with the others. Since the founding of Shrek Academy, they'd never had so many students reach the fourth level at once.
Dai Mubai glanced at Luo Ye and the others and said reluctantly,
"Not only are there five, but they're also exempted from the second and third assessments."
Hearing this, Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up. He stood from his chair.
This Luo Ye wasn't tall and looked ordinary, but his body was extremely muscular—his exaggerated muscles seemed about to burst his clothes.
After observing the five, Zhao Wuji nodded with a smile.
"All five are above level 25. Not bad, very good. Looks like there are quite a few little monsters this year."
"Next, as long as you pass my test, you can officially become a member of Shrek. But my test isn't so easy."
"Practical combat experience is essential for every soul master. What I'll be testing is your ability in this area."
"My name is Zhao Wuji. I will give you one stick of incense to get to know each other. After that, the assessment will officially begin."
