Translator: 549690339 |
Feeling the sharp gazes around him, Chen Mobai started to feel restless.
“Well, it’s quite a coincidence. Your class also ca here for the farewell
dinner.”
At these words, the Qing Won burst into laughter.
“Let’s talk after eating, I am heading upstairs.
The students from the Number 1 High School of Xiann had reserved private rooms on the second floor. The Qing Won intended to turn around and go upstairs after greeting Chen Mobai.
“I’ve arranged to et soone after I finish eating. I’m a bit busy, let’s
arrange so other ti.”
Recalling his arrangent with Yan Bingxuan to discuss the “Cold Ice Technique”, Chen Mobai rejected Qing Won’s invitation to talk after eating.
His response left everyone in the room stunned, including Qing Won. She understood Chen Mobai’s personality – casual in his words when dealing with things he didn’t really care about, so she could only shrug helplessly.
“Alright then, call when you’re free.”
Chen Mobai had broken through to the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, so the
Rank-1 interdiate-grade Qi-replenishing Spirit Water was ineffective for him Therefore lately, Qing Won had been refining the upper-grade version. But due to lack of experience, she failed many tis. However, yesterday she had been lucky and made a successful batch with the assistance of Spiritual Extract. So, she wanted to celebrate at a fish restaurant with her supplicant.
In fact, she wished to taste the fish Chen Mobai had brought from the Water Mansion as its taste was sothing hard to forget.
“Okay, I’ll invite you later.”
Chen Mobai thought he would be preoccupied with practicing the Cold Ice Technique and honing his magic duel skills in Yun ng Ze in the upcoming period, or selling items to earn Spirit Stones, so he might not have the spare ti to return to the Water Mansion. That’s why he postponed eting with the Qing Won.
Hiss!
The irritating remarks made Lu Hongsheng gasp. He stared wide-eyed at Chen Mobai in disbelief, like he was eting him for the first ti, repeatedly glancing back and forth between Qing Won and Chen Mobai.
Not only him, the adolescent boys and girls from the Number 1 High School of Xiann who ca along with Qing Won also clenched their fists involuntarily, staring coldly at Chen Mobai, who was playing with his phone after finishing his conversation.
“Qing Won, is he your friend?”
An elegant boy ca over. Dressed in white Chinese-style clothes and holding a sharp posture, he appeared extraordinary.
“Uh, yes, he’s my…”
At this point, Qing Won felt she had chosen an inappropriate ti to greet Chen Mobai. If she said he was her supplicant, it could lead to misunderstandings. But referring to him just as a friend could seem insincere.
For a mont, she didn’t know how to introduce him.
“Well, we’re friends with a very good relationship.
At this point, Chen Mobai spoke up to defuse the awkwardness. He looked up from his phone and t eyes with the elegant boy.
“Nice to et you, I am Gong Xiangyu, the class president and a comrade of
Qing Won.”
As he finished his introduction, Chen Mobai’s classmates couldn’t help but turn their gazes towards him.
This na was famous in high schools all over Red Sandstone City.
As a top-ranked student and a super genius in the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, he was adjudged the most promising candidate to enter any of the four Daoist Academies in the last decade, a real path seed.
“Wait, she’s… Qing Won!”
However, at this mont, Pu Jiangxue, the pretty girl sitting next to Chen Mobai blurted out when she picked out a more critical na. She widened her eyes in disbelief, looking at the gorgeous girl standing before her.
At her outcry, over half of the remaining classmates ca back to their senses!
“Qing Won? Do you all know her?”
Not everyone knew the na of a Heavenly Spiritual Root. Lu Hongsheng was a little confused, thinking that Chen Mobai’s girlfriend was sobody everyone in the class knew already.
“Blockhead, she is the Heavenly Spiritual Root beneficiary who got a direct offer to Jumang Daoist Academy!”
Yu Shu, who was sitting next to Lu Hongsheng, couldn’t help but give him a nudge and told him about Qing Won’s background.
All the rest who didn’t know about Qing Won gasped as one!
All eyes turned towards the girl standing in front of Chen Mobai.
“I am Chen Mobai!”
Since Gong Xiangyu did make the introduction, Chen Mobai stood up. Under the gaze of all his classmates, he shook hands with the elegant boy.
“Hope to see you in the entrance exam for the Daoist Academies.”
Gong Xiangyu said slightly prickly.
“Oh.”
Chen Mobai replied.
And then they returned to their respective tasks.
Qing Won put her hands together and looked at Chen Mobai apologetically, then followed her classmates upstairs.
When they left, a stir arose among the remaining people in the class.
“Damn, Chen, you kept us in the dark big ti!”
Lu Hongsheng was the first to speak, accusing Chen Mobai of hiding such big news as getting a girlfriend from him, a friend of three years.
“We’re just close friends, it hasn’t progressed to that point yet.”
Chen Mobai imdiately rebutted. His relationship with Qing Won was indeed just at the level of friendship.
People like Lu Hongsheng who created a ruckus caused once jovial friends to feel awkward. Chen Mobai had a good partnership with Qing Won and wouldn’t want it to be misunderstood.
His true words, however, found no believers. All his classmates looked at him with envy and jealousy, thinking that Chen Mobai was showing off subtly.
Thus, this farewell dinner began with the eyes of everyone filled with envy towards Chen Mobai.
in the end, he could take it no longer and left early after paying his share to the class monitor.
“I also have sothing to do, I’ll be leaving first.”
After Chen Mobai left, Yan Bingxuan also stood up to leave.
But the other classmates didn’t connect her with Chen Mobai. After all, they thought that with a Heavenly Spiritual Root like Qing Won in his life now, Chen Mobai wouldn’t bother with other girls.
“Sorry about the trouble.”
At the exit of the hot pot restaurant, Chen Mobai greeted Yan Bingxuan with so embarrassnt.
“It’s okay, I didn’t really want to attend this kind of occasion anyway. My teacher told to experience these emotions before going to the Nature Studies Academy. He said that they provide a valuable emotional foundation for the future. That’s why I bothered coming here.
Yan Bingxuan nodded carelessly, pointed to a milk tea shop across the road, and suggested going there to chat in detail.
“Let’s change the place. In case classmates see us two sitting together, there’ll be more rumors.”
Chen Mobai hesitated for a mont and said sothing that surprised Yan Bingxuan.
“You’re afraid it will reach the ears of that Heavenly Spiritual Root girl.
“Not at all, you misunderstood. I am worried about affecting your reputation.” Chen Mobai laughed it off. Yan Bingxuan agreed sideways at his joke.
Both of them left the hot pot restaurant together.
From the second floor private room, Gong Xiangyu, who happened to be opening a window, saw all this. A description of Chen Mobai ca to his mind:
“Scum..”
