After deliberately teasing them for a while, Luo Ye finally nodded thoughtfully and agreed.
"Alright. If we ever decide to do that, we'll tell you."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu both let out a sigh of relief, their hearts filled with relief.
Thank goodness, thank goodness. Luo Ye didn't notice anything unusual. As long as the existence of the Diary Instance isn't exposed, everything will be fine.
After parting with Luo Ye and returning to the dormitory, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu were still somewhat happy. But the diary that suddenly began to stir told them they had celebrated too soon.
The two women exchanged a glance and simultaneously opened the Diary Instance to check it.
Today brought an unexpected gain. Xiao Wu's attitude seemed to have softened. When Zhu Qing and I mentioned that we might leave in the future, she actually chimed in and said she wanted to leave with us.
Although that was precisely why I had stayed at Shrek Academy, something still felt off. Logically speaking, Xiao Wu should only want to follow Tang San right now.
Could it really be because she first saw Dai Mubai take those twins to the Rose Hotel, then discovered Ma Hongjun's true nature as an Evil Fire Grass Chicken, and learned that Flender, the headmaster, was trying to scheme against students like us, that she developed the idea of leaving?
Thinking it over carefully, perhaps it did make some sense. Shrek Academy was nothing more than a slapdash operation and completely unreliable. Before being suppressed and conditioned, anyone who wasn't an idiot would eventually think about leaving.
I wonder if everything has strayed from its original course because, after being reincarnated, I didn't leave like I did in my previous life.
I still can't determine what exactly is going on. I should keep watching for now.
Seeing that Luo Ye had developed some suspicion, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu felt their breathing suddenly catch, their hearts pounding wildly.
Xiao Wu looked at Zhu Zhuqing anxiously and asked, "Zhu Qing, was I too hasty? Luo Ye already thinks something isn't right."
Zhu Zhuqing was troubled as well, but seeing how panicked Xiao Wu was, she thought for a moment before comforting her.
"Don't worry. You saw the new diary entry too. Although Luo Ye feels that something is off, he still hasn't suspected anything. As long as you restrain yourself a little from now on, you won't expose us."
Xiao Wu nodded vigorously. Then, as though she had thought of something, she asked, "If I want it to seem reasonable for me to leave with you later, I'll need to get closer to Luo Ye. But he already wrote in the diary that I should only want to follow Tang San right now. What should I do?"
Without that line, she could have approached Luo Ye as she pleased.
But now that Luo Ye had written that in his diary, if she stubbornly ignored Tang San and instead took the initiative to approach Luo Ye, wouldn't that make it easy to expose herself?
Yet if she did not build a good relationship with Luo Ye, she would have no way to directly leave Shrek Academy with them in the future.
Faced with such a dilemma, it was difficult for Xiao Wu, with her intelligence, to come up with a solution that satisfied both sides.
After remaining silent for a long time, Zhu Zhuqing came up with an idea.
"If you don't mind, whenever I'm spending time with Luo Ye in the future, you can approach him under the pretext of being with me."
"At least that gives you a reasonable explanation and won't make Luo Ye suspicious."
Xiao Wu thought it over and found Zhu Zhuqing's idea quite good, so she nodded and agreed at once.
What she did not know was that after saying those words, Zhu Zhuqing felt even stranger.
Earlier, she had already found it odd that she was helping Luo Ye get closer to Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong. It was as if she were personally pushing Luo Ye into their arms.
Now, having Xiao Wu approach Luo Ye under her banner made that sense of déjà vu even stronger.
However, Zhu Zhuqing truly had no other choice. As a Reincarnator, Luo Ye's perception in such matters was simply too sharp.
One careless move, and they risked exposing the existence of the Diary Instance.
To avoid that, she could only do this.
Damn it, this is so infuriating.
I'm over here running until I'm drenched in sweat, while those two have already started discussing leaving Shrek Academy with Luo Ye. They're really not being fair at all.
Ning Rongrong was furious.
But after privately complaining about Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu for a while, she became even more dissatisfied with Flender, the headmaster.
If Flender had not smugly ordered her to run twenty laps around the village, she would definitely have tried every possible way to build a connection with Luo Ye.
Instead, she could only watch Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu perform while she herself was exhausted like a dog.
As she thought this, Ning Rongrong stumbled and nearly plunged face-first into the ground.
Fortunately, her reaction was quick enough, and she managed to steady herself in the end.
The disturbance caught Oscar's attention ahead of her. He turned back and asked with concern, "How are you? Are you alright? Do you want to rest for a while?"
Faced with Oscar's three consecutive questions of concern, Ning Rongrong glared fiercely at him.
"Get lost."
In Ning Rongrong's eyes, Oscar had long become cut from the same cloth as Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun.
Especially since he clearly knew Flender would be following them in secret yet had not warned her, Ning Rongrong's impression of him had fallen to rock bottom. She could not even be bothered to maintain a superficial friendliness with him.
As the famous little witch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong only acted obedient in front of Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Yuena.
If anyone else provoked her, the grudge-holding Ning Rongrong would definitely find an opportunity to retaliate.
Because of Flender's actions, Oscar had already become the target of her displaced anger.
After being cursed at, Oscar could not keep his composure. For a moment, he did not know what to say and could only obediently move aside, allowing Ning Rongrong to pass him.
"This idiot—does she really want to get close to Luo Ye and leave with him so badly that she can't wait? Has she not considered the consequences if the Diary Instance is exposed?"
Inside the palace chambers, after seeing this new entry, Qian Renxue cursed Xiao Wu in anger, looking as though she hated iron for not becoming steel.
In her view, even if Xiao Wu did not want to be manipulated by Tang San like in her previous life and end up sacrificing herself, she should not have acted so recklessly.
Would Luo Ye, the Son of Destiny chosen by the Plane Will of the Douluo Continent, who had nearly overturned the rule of the God Realm in his previous life, be an idiot?
Obviously not.
Before Luo Ye, a Reincarnator, any abnormal behavior from those who possessed the Diary Instance was highly likely to make him notice that something was wrong.
Yet this Xiao Wu was so unable to keep her composure. How did she look like a soul beast with one hundred thousand years of cultivation that had taken human form?
