"Oh my god, tell me this is all fake! I finally mustered up the courage, why are you treating me so cruelly!"

A group of boys wailed and howled, beating their chests and stamping their feet, covering their faces and weeping. The reason was naturally that they saw Murong Qing holding Si Ming's arm. The meaning of this posture was self-evident. Back then, Murong Qing was the undisputed class beauty and the school beauty recognized by her classmates. There were quite a few people who secretly admired her.

Of course, the guy who was crying with his face covered was faking it, deliberately making a scene to join in the fun. The person who was really feeling lost was often unable to say a word. From this point of view, Si Ming found that there were actually not many people in the class who had a crush on Murong Qing, only two or three, far fewer than he had imagined.

However, after a little thought, it became clear that while Murong Qing indeed extremely beautiful and lived up to her name, her personality and style were too assertive, which was not the mainstream type that men liked. In addition, she had top-notch academic performance and high martial arts skills, so most people felt that they were not good enough for her and gave up the idea. They simply treated her as a goddess. Since they already felt that there was no possibility of a relationship with her, they naturally could not be disappointed at this moment.

In fact, during high school, compared to the boys in her class, the boys in other classes were more proactive in pursuing Murong Qing. Si Ming knew of at least five instances of confessing their feelings to her. On the contrary, none of the boys in her class did the same. This was probably because distance makes the heart grow fonder. Anyone who had actually met Murong Qing knew that confessing to her was absolutely impossible to succeed, as her heart was not in her hands at all.

"What are you boys wailing about? The class monitor and Si Ming were a couple. They were a famous golden couple back in school, always seen together. You've all seen that before."

The speaker was a girl. They were clustered on the other side of the room, originally in two or three groups, exchanging pleasantries and chatting politely. Some had even started cracking sunflower seeds on the table. However, they all had one thing in common: they were constantly opening and closing their mouths, their eyes intentionally or unintentionally scanning the boys. Only a few girls seemed to be talking to the boys familiarly. The one who spoke at this moment was a girl mixed in with the boys.

"That's true, but they weren't officially dating in high school, and when I asked them, they both denied being a couple. I thought I had a chance to catch up with them later."

"Yeah, yeah, and Si Ming not only has a good relationship with the class monitor, but he's also quite close to another girl in the class. I didn't think they'd necessarily end up together."

"Huh? Si Ming is also close to some girl? How come I never knew?"

"You don't even know this? Isn't it that girl in the class... that... that girl who was it again?"

"You're asking me? How should I know? You must be mistaken. It's terrible that you have amnesia at such a young age."

"Impossible. Although I can't remember the other person's name, this girl definitely exists; I just can't recall her right now. Let's wait and see. Once everyone arrives, I'll check them one by one and I'm sure I'll find her."

Chapter 713 Spirit Transformation Girlfriend

Once most of the people had arrived, they sat down and instructed the waiter to serve the food. After all, most of them were students who hadn't been influenced by those social trends. Being late was their responsibility, but others had no obligation to wait for them. Taking care of their own stomachs was the most important thing.

On Si Ming's side, a bunch of boys were pressing him for details on how he won over their class beauty. Si Ming didn't hold back and threw out all sorts of jokes from the online novels he had read in his previous life, leaving everyone stunned.

When reading novels, I always feel that those face-slapping plots are too brainless and Long Aotian, but when applied to real-life bragging, they are not excessive at all and have a strong sense of "realism." Some boys get excited when they hear this and can't help but cheer, their eyes shining, and they have a strong urge to find an opportunity to put it into practice themselves.

Chen Shimi, who was classmates with Chen Shimi in high school and college, naturally knew that Si Ming was bragging. However, instead of exposing him, he helped to improve the details and incorporated himself into the story, becoming a key character and increasing its credibility.

The situation was different at the girls' table. Their focus wasn't on Murong Qing; instead, they were all talking about their own things. Even though Murong Qing was the prettiest girl in the class, the other girls had no obligation to play second fiddle, especially since many of them were also quite beautiful.

Internal Cultivation itself has beauty and skin-nourishing effects, so a martial artist with high cultivation level may not be a beauty, but she will not be ugly either. After all, fair skin covers up a hundred flaws, and high Internal Cultivation can improve skin quality, making it fair and tender. Not to mention, there are some internal energy cultivation Internal Cultivation in the world that are specifically designed for women's desire for beauty and deliberately enhance the whitening effect. For example, the "White Tiger Heart Sutra" cultivated by Yao Bilian is such a method.

Murong Qing's "Glacier Divine Art" does have a beautifying effect, but it's just an added bonus. However, because Murong Qing's Internal Cultivation level is high enough, even this bonus makes her even more radiant and charming, and her appearance has improved even more than in high school. That's why it caused a scream from the boys when she entered the room.

Some girls couldn't help but privately ask Murong Qing what kind of internal Internal Cultivation she cultivated. They were greatly disappointed when they received the answer that it was a secret passed down only by her sect. They couldn't help but complain, "What era are we living in? Why are they still so secretive?" However, no one thought that Murong Qing was lying or hiding anything. Even those who disliked Murong Qing would not think in this direction. This was the result of Murong Qing's consistent words and deeds over a long period of time. Even her enemies had to acknowledge her character.

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Ren Junshuang, who had been watching Murong Qing expression, could no longer contain his curiosity. He secretly approached her and asked via Secret Voice Transmission, "Class monitor, can I ask you something? Have you advanced to the Nascent Spirit Transformation?"

Murong Qing hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"I knew it! I knew it was you!" Ren Junshuang both shocked and surprised. "The surname Murong is very rare, and the given name is the same. I guessed it was you as soon as I heard the name. You're really, really amazing! No wonder you're the class monitor!"

Murong Qing's advancement to the Spirit Transformation stage was not widely publicized. She herself does not like to be high-profile or flamboyant. Moreover, she went to the Northern Continent to help Si Ming after her advancement and has only been back for a few days. Therefore, the news about her advancement to the Spirit Transformation stage only circulated within a small circle and was not reported in the newspapers.

However, the title of "the youngest Spirit Transformation Grandmaster" was too attractive. Those who knew about it couldn't help but "educate" others, and those who didn't know couldn't help but ask questions after hearing it. Therefore, even if Murong Qing wanted to keep a low profile, he couldn't. Relying on the inefficient method of word of mouth, quite a few people still learned about this.

Ren Junshuang majored in journalism and broadcasting, so she was very well-informed. She overheard the story from her advisor and felt that it was most likely her high school classmate, but it also seemed too unbelievable. It was like someone in the Celestial Empire telling you that one of your high school classmates had become a provincial governor.

"That's amazing! I knew you could do it back in high school, but I never expected you to do it so quickly, and even break the record..."

As Ren Junshuang spoke, tears welled up in his eyes, startling Murong Qing. She wondered why this man's reaction was even happier than hers. Then Ren Junshuang say, "If our homeroom teacher knew this in the afterlife, he would be very gratified."

The homeroom teacher she mentioned was none other than Murong Qing's father, Murong Zhe. Murong Qing then recalled that one of the two students her father had saved during the demon tide was Ren Junshuang.

Murong Qing smiled frankly, "Yes, now I can finally hold my head high and say that I have not let my father down."

Their abrupt reaction quickly caught the attention of the girl sitting next to them.

One of the girls, who felt that Murong Qing had stolen too much of the limelight, couldn't help but tease, "Oh, why are you resorting to such formal methods Secret Voice Transmission? Are you perhaps discussing something shady?"

Someone noticed the tears in Ren Junshuang's eyes and asked with concern, "Junshuang, why are you suddenly crying? What did you talk about with the class monitor? Why did you start crying while you were talking?"

Some quick-thinking individuals, glancing in the direction of the boy, wondered if Ren Junshuang also harbored a secret crush on Si Ming, and knowing she couldn't compete with Murong Qing, was thus resorting to a desperate, all-or-nothing gamble?

Ren Junshuang replied, "It's nothing, I just remembered some funny things that happened when we were in school together, and I suddenly felt nostalgic. Plus, I'm a person who's easily moved to tears, so I couldn't hold back."

The girl who spoke first rolled her eyes and said, "Nonsense! I clearly heard you say 'amazing' and guessed it was you. Confess now, what exactly happened between you and the class monitor?"

The other girls sensed something was off and quickly tried to dissuade her, saying things like, "Don't pry," "Everyone has their secrets," and "You probably misheard."

Seeing that he had made a fool of himself, Ren Junshuang looked at Murong Qing apologetically and asked whether he should tell the truth or just brush it off.

Murong Qing was reluctant to be too high-profile, lest she create a rift between herself and her classmates, but suddenly thought of her father, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

Ren Junshuang, having received permission, clapped his hands vigorously and said to the girl sitting next to him, "Classmates, what I'm about to say might shock you, but don't doubt it, I'm not joking or teasing you."

"What is it? Tell me quickly!"

"Yes, stop keeping us in suspense."

The commotion attracted even the boys on the other side, who couldn't help but urge them on.

Ren Junshuang took a deep breath and then said, "Our beloved class monitor has already reached the Spirit Transformation Grandmaster."

The scene fell silent for a moment, and everyone seemed to freeze in place for a brief period of time. Then, they all looked puzzled, wondering if they were hallucinating.

"Haha, that's a really funny joke."

The first girl chuckled awkwardly a few times, but no one else responded, creating an extremely awkward atmosphere. Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer and asked Murong Qing, "Class monitor, what Ren Junshuang said isn't true, is it?"

"Mm." Murong Qing nodded.
