The Gap Between People Is Bigger Than the Gap Between People and Dogs, Questioning Life

Oscar was consumed with envy.

Ning Rongrong, who had acted so proud and aloof in front of him, became so obedient in front of Luo Ye.

If he had not been certain that he was quite handsome, Oscar would have wondered whether he had somehow become as ugly as Ma Hongjun.

He hesitated for a long time, but he still did not want to give up on Ning Rongrong just like that.

After all, aside from being exceptionally beautiful, Ning Rongrong was also the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Oscar had dated many girls before, but not a single one of them could compare to Ning Rongrong.

To be precise, his ex-girlfriends were not even worthy of carrying Ning Rongrong's shoes!

Faced with Oscar's question, Luo Ye pretended to be baffled.

"What do you mean?"

Oscar glanced at Ning Rongrong on the Soul Battle Platform and gritted his teeth.

"How did you make her so obedient in front of you? Can you tell me?"

Luo Ye looked as though he had just understood, but then immediately spread his hands.

"I didn't do anything. Besides, I'd never even met her before coming to Shrek Academy. I don't know why she's acting like this either."

Oscar's breathing caught. He studied Luo Ye before him and saw that his expression did not seem faked at all.

So Ning Rongrong had not taken a liking to him, but had instead fallen for Luo Ye at first sight, even though he already had Zhu Zhuqing by his side?

How could that be?

Could the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect really be planning to cast aside her dignity and fight Zhu Zhuqing over a man?

She was passing up Oscar, an Innate Full Soul Power genius, just to fight over Luo Ye?

Was that reasonable?

Oscar silently walked into a corner and began questioning his life.

Luo Ye did not spare him so much as a glance, focusing instead on watching the soul battles between Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong and their opponents.

At present, only he and Dai Mubai in Shrek were Soul Elders. He could not possibly team up with Dai Mubai, and according to the Great Soul Arena's rules, each person could only participate in one one-on-one soul battle per day. Naturally, he had become rather idle.

To Luo Ye, participating in soul battles had no meaning at all.

With the strength of his Spiritual Power, it was impossible for him to hone his practical combat ability through soul battles.

However, once Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong's soul power all reached level thirty, he probably would not be so free anymore.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong would definitely ask to team up with him. Even Xiao Wu would not miss this opportunity.

After all, only by getting closer to Luo Ye first would it seem more reasonable for them to leave Shrek with him in the future.

Luo Ye was quite looking forward to seeing how Tang San would react when Xiao Wu proposed forming a two-person team with him.

Once the Shrek group had all finished their soul battles, there was naturally no reason for them to remain at the Great Soul Arena.

However, as they were leaving, Tang San looked around and failed to spot Flender. He then asked, "Where is Headmaster Flender? Isn't he returning to the academy with us?"

Dai Mubai shrugged, looking thoroughly accustomed to it. "Don't worry about the Headmaster. He's always been this elusive."

Ma Hongjun's eyes flickered, and he took the opportunity to say, "The Headmaster just told me to stop by his shop. I won't be going back for now either. You guys go ahead."

Hearing this, Dai Mubai twitched his lips and could not help teasing him. "Then we'll head back first. Take it easy."

Ma Hongjun snorted. After glancing at Zhu Zhuqing, he deliberately asked, "Boss Dai, are you coming?"

Dai Mubai gritted his teeth. He really wanted to slap this clueless bastard, but he ultimately held himself back. With a cold snort, he replied irritably, "I'm not interested. Go by yourself."

Ma Hongjun curled his lips, thinking, Who doesn't know that Boss Dai only goes to high-end places? Of course he looks down on the low-class girls in those brothels. Now he's pretending to be pure. Who are you trying to fool?

Watching Ma Hongjun leave with a cheerful spring in his step, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong all showed traces of disdain in their eyes.

If he were not used to such things, how could he say it so shamelessly in front of so many people?

More importantly, after Luo Ye's reminder in the diary, they had all realized that the money Flender used to take Ma Hongjun to brothels and enjoy himself had been earned through their soul battles.

Just thinking about it disgusted them. They wished they could grab their buckets and run away from Shrek Academy immediately.

Dai Mubai vaguely sensed the shift in their moods and coughed twice before explaining, "Fatty's martial soul has a flaw, after all. If he can't vent that evil fire, it will affect his cultivation at best, and in severe cases, he may even suffer qi deviation."

"But don't worry, Fatty won't force anyone. The place he goes to is a brothel—it's completely consensual."

"Besides, I'm different from Fatty. There's an essential difference between us."

Hearing that, Luo Ye immediately let out a scornful laugh.

"Yeah, yeah, sure, there's a difference. He goes to low-end places like brothels, while you take twins straight to the Rose Hotel."

The others no longer bothered concealing the strange looks they gave Dai Mubai. Zhu Zhuqing in particular directly stepped back behind Luo Ye.

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong followed suit, as if afraid Dai Mubai might set his sights on her. She too hid behind Luo Ye, wanting to keep as far away from him as possible.

Xiao Wu looked from side to side. She wanted to do the same, but she was not yet that familiar with Luo Ye. If she wanted to hide, she could only hide beside Tang San.

However, after gradually coming to believe that Tang San was an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon—and that he would scheme against her in the future, even kill Da Ming Er Ming—if she had a choice, Xiao Wu absolutely did not want to remain so close to Tang San.

Were you serious about backing away half a step? Such a tiny gesture, yet the damage was so immense!

It felt as though several arrows had pierced Dai Mubai's heart. Facing Luo Ye's teasing gaze and Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong's disgust and disdain, he felt his blood rush upward, his face flushing from red to purple.

"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?!"

Dai Mubai panted heavily and glared viciously at Luo Ye. Soul Power surged around him, and he clearly looked ready to lash out and attack.

Seeing this, Tang San and Oscar hurriedly stepped between them, trying to calm Dai Mubai down.

"Don't get worked up. Luo Ye didn't mean it that way, and we're all classmates. Let's just leave it at that."

Dai Mubai dearly wanted to fight Luo Ye, but when he recalled what had happened at the Rose Hotel, as well as the scene of Luo Ye instantly defeating his opponent earlier, he could only force himself to endure it.

"Fine, Xiao San. I'll give you face."

After saying that, Dai Mubai turned and left. Tang San gave Luo Ye a wry smile.

"I'll go check on him. Xiao Wu, why don't you go back to the academy with Luo Ye and the others first?"
