Zhu Qing, You Don't Want to Be Eliminated Either, Do You?

Zhu Zhuqing froze.

What was a love-struck fool? What did he mean by being smarter? What did he mean by saying she was as stupid as a cat? But she was a cat to begin with, wasn't she?

But when she came back to her senses and looked at the scumbag before her, she immediately understood what Li Chen meant. She really should stay farther away from this scumbag.

Her next step would be to find a way to get the Immortal Herb Li Chen had mentioned, the one that could evolve her Martial Soul.

Zhu Zhuqing did not doubt Li Chen's words in the slightest, because she had heard his inner thoughts. Who would lie to themselves for fun?

A teasing smile appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's face. "Really? I'm just a young woman with nothing to my name. Would your family really accept me?"

"Of course. My family is very friendly. They're all easy to talk to."

Once he had told the first lie, there was no turning back. He could only keep lying to cover up the previous lie. Dai Mubai felt that no matter what method he had to use, he needed to win this girl over first, even if it meant resorting to special measures.

"I heard that Great Clans like yours have a habit of arranging childhood betrothals for their descendants. You say you don't have one, but why do I find that hard to believe? Aren't Great Clans like yours the ones who care most about the purity of bloodlines? Could someone with a Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul like me really be with you?"

When Dai Mubai heard that Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul was the Netherworld Spirit Cat Spirit, he failed to react for a moment. All he could think of was how perfectly his White Tiger Spirit matched the Netherworld Spirit Cat Spirit.

He hurriedly exclaimed in delight, "A Netherworld Spirit Cat Spirit is great! I already sensed that our Martial Souls were drawn to each other. Maybe our Martial Souls can even form a Fusion Skill!"

But as he watched the smile gradually fade from Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face, he finally understood.

"Zhu Zhuqing, you're Zhu Zhuqing!"

"You played me?"

Dai Mubai's voice gradually rose, and bloodshot veins slowly appeared in his eyes.

The main reason Dai Mubai was so agitated was that, for all these years, he had always toyed with other girls in the palm of his hand. Today, in front of everyone, he had thought he had hooked a big fish, only to discover that he was the prey.

The ultimate humiliation!

"What are you doing here?" Although Dai Mubai was agitated, he still suppressed the impulse in his heart and forced his tone to remain calm. Yet anyone paying even a little attention could hear the tremor in his voice.

Zhu Zhuqing smiled again, her smile bright and pure like an ice crystal flower. Oscar was so captivated that it seemed peach blossoms were about to bloom in his eyes.

"Of course I came to join the academy. But I really didn't expect you to be here too. You never looked for me all these years. I thought you were dead."

"Seeing that you've been living quite comfortably here puts my mind at ease."

"Rongrong, let's go to the next test. Forget smelly men. Us sisters are the best."

Zhu Zhuqing gave Ning Rongrong a playful smile, leaving Ning Rongrong utterly stunned. She had never imagined Zhu Zhuqing had such a side to her.

Seeing this, Li Chen inwardly felt the gratification of an old father.

"There's a story here, there's definitely a story! Big gossip, Li Chen, there's definitely huge gossip here!" Xiao Wu poked Li Chen and said excitedly.

"Looks like I really didn't come to the wrong academy. I just got here and already ran into such huge gossip."

Li Chen scratched Xiao Wu's nose. "Settle down. This place isn't like Nuoding Academy. These people could become our classmates, so we need to get along with them properly. Don't go too far, okay?"

"If they don't say anything themselves, you absolutely can't ask them about it, understand? That's very rude."

Tang San watched Li Chen and Xiao Wu whispering together nearby, and a sour feeling rose in his heart. For some reason, he even felt a faint pang of pain.

Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who was holding Ning Rongrong's hand, eating sausage and chatting with her. His gaze gradually hardened!

"Zhu Zhuqing, you're mine. Without me, there is no Hell White Tiger. Without the Hell White Tiger, you'll die. You can't escape the palm of my hand!"

The fourth test: battle Zhao Wuji!

Li Chen saw a middle-aged man with ordinary features. He was not tall, but his body was extremely sturdy.

Dai Mubai said to Zhao Wuji, who was sitting in a chair, "Teacher Zhao, these five are the students who passed the first three tests this year. They're here for the final test."

Without waiting for Zhao Wuji to speak, Dai Mubai turned to the five of them and said, "Your fourth test is to fight me!"

Three Soul Rings, the optimal Yellow Yellow Purple configuration, rose from beneath Dai Mubai's feet, and his aura gradually grew stronger.

Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuqing, a teasing smile appearing in his eyes, just like the look Zhu Zhuqing had given him earlier. Of course he, Dai Mubai, would not wait overnight to take revenge.

He had to establish his authority. This concerned his future standing in the household, so there was no room for the slightest mistake.

Dai Mubai's lips moved slightly as he silently mouthed something to Zhu Zhuqing.

Li Chen saw Zhu Zhuqing's face immediately turn a little red. It did not look like embarrassment, though. It looked more like anger.

"Tangyuan, Tangyuan, what did Dai Mubai say just now? Why is Zhu Zhuqing so angry?"

"Li Chen, Dai Mubai said, 'Zhu Qing, you don't want to fail the test either, do you?'"

"Good grief, Dai Mubai really is disgusting."

Zhu Zhuqing was indeed somewhat angry. This guy was actually abusing his position to settle a personal grudge. It seemed that choosing to tear things apart with him earlier had been the right decision. Trash like him isn't worth liking at all.

But I'm only Level 27, while he's already a Soul Elder. His White Tiger Spirit is also somewhat stronger than my Martial Soul. I definitely can't beat him. What should I do?

When Ning Rongrong saw Zhu Zhuqing's expression change, she had not noticed Dai Mubai's lips move, but she had seen the malicious look in his eyes.

Taking Zhu Zhuqing's soft, boneless little hand, Ning Rongrong whispered, "Zhu Qing, don't worry. If he dares to mess around, I definitely won't let him off. Believe me."

Just as Dai Mubai was feeling pleased with himself, Zhao Wuji slapped him and sent him flying.

"Hmph! I haven't even spoken yet, and you little brat are already announcing the test arrangements? Don't tell me you've set your sights on one of these little girls?"

Zhao Wuji looked at Dai Mubai with suspicion. Dai Mubai had never been this proactive in previous years. His behavior this year was far too unusual.

After glancing at the students taking the test, he understood. Dai Mubai's private life was improper, and all the teachers knew it. First, they could not control that much. Second, Dai Mubai's financial support for the academy was simply too generous. The academy could not have opened without his contribution.

So the teachers had always turned a blind eye to Dai Mubai.

But for the academy to grow, it needed talented students. With Dai Mubai being so proactive about this test, Zhao Wuji was afraid that he would use his position for personal gain. He had also heard that one of the girls here had an extremely powerful background. If Dai Mubai unknowingly did something inappropriate to her, their academy would be finished.
