What Are You Doing?

As the only institution in Longyao Base City dedicated to training Hunters and Warlocks, Demon Hunter Academy naturally had its own official website.

Students could use the official website to check their daily classes, learn the latest news from the academy, and even browse the list of available missions waiting to be claimed, choosing the ones they wanted to accept and complete.

Naturally, whenever students had nothing to do, they would also hang around the official forum, making posts and chatting.

Because of this, whenever an extremely hot topic emerged at Demon Hunter Academy, regular forum users would learn about it immediately.

That was how An Zijin's popularity had risen.

Even now, the latest posts still featured An Zijin's photos. Someone had even created a dedicated check-in thread for her, and the number of replies had already approached one million. It was utterly outrageous.

After all, the entire Demon Hunter Academy only had a few thousand students.

For a few thousand people to build a thread this high in just a few days, one could imagine how many contributions had come from horny old men.

Generally speaking, aside from people from the academy, few outsiders would enter the official website just to spam posts.

That showed just how crazy the forum users were, and how low their morals had sunk.

But after today, another bombshell hot topic was destined to replace An Zijin's popularity for a while and become the subject of endless discussion.

It was the matter of Xu Qianqian going to the boys' dormitory to find Su Ming and handing him a note.

The moment that news came out, countless people were stunned.

"Xu Qianqian actually went to the boys' dormitory?"

"And she gave a note to some guy?"

"I don't believe it!"

"Who doesn't know Xu Qianqian is a really aloof person?"

"She'd go all the way to the boys' dormitory? That's basically impossible, okay?"

"Exactly."

At first, people naturally refused to believe it.

But as they said, pictures were proof. When the photo of Xu Qianqian handing Su Ming a note appeared on the forum alongside a photo of Su Ming covered in sweaty men, everyone exploded.

"This is actually real?"

"Oh my god!"

"Who is this guy? Why would Senior Qianqian go find him and give him a note?"

"Wuwuwu, my goddess!"

"Why has my queen fallen this far?"

"Brothers! Dig up everything on this guy!"

"Within one minute, I want to know who he is and what this is all about!"

The forum gradually became flooded with comments like these.

People became completely invested in the matter and started digging into Su Ming, uncovering all of his information.

Just like that, the entire academy came to know Su Ming, and learned that he was a Side Character!

"A second-year student who's been enrolled for one year?"

"Average grades, average performance, average number of completed missions..."

"Isn't he completely unremarkable?"

"His attendance rate is pretty high, though. Other than necessary leave during missions, he's barely missed a single class."

"He's also handsome. Does that count as a highlight?"

"But isn't the Sorcerer Department full of handsome guys?"

"Yeah. There are plenty of people more handsome than Su Ming, including Senior Li Wei from the Hunter Department."

"Then he really is completely unremarkable!"

The results of the investigation left many people confused.

Looking at it this way, there shouldn't have been any connection at all between Su Ming and Xu Qianqian, right?

Even if Xu Qianqian needed someone to help her complete a mission, she should have sought out someone with better grades.

Could it be that Su Ming had mastered some rare Spiritual Art that Xu Qianqian happened to need, so she had gone to ask him for help?

But there was no need for her to specifically go to the boys' dormitory. There were plenty of other ways to accomplish that.

What the students cared about was precisely the fact that Xu Qianqian had personally gone to the boys' dormitory and handed a note to a specific boy.

If it had been someone else, it might not have caused such huge doubts. But for something like this to happen to the famously cold and beautiful Xu Qianqian was truly strange.

After all, this School Belle of Demon Hunter Academy usually did not like interacting with others.

Not to mention the opposite sex—even people of the same sex rarely got close to her.

In the past, everyone who had tried to strike up a conversation with Xu Qianqian had returned empty-handed. Almost no one had successfully gotten familiar with her.

Those who tried to approach An Zijin were blocked by her fan club, while those who tried to approach Xu Qianqian were all shut down by the woman herself.

Back when Xu Qianqian had first enrolled, a scene like this had occurred.

"Xu Qianqian, I like you. Please go out with me!"

A brave warrior launched the most direct possible attack against the High Mountain Flower, who had caused a sensation not long after enrolling.

Unfortunately, Xu Qianqian's response was even more direct.

"Then I'm sorry, but I don't like you. Please stay away from me."

She was just that blunt and cold.

Many upperclassmen still remembered that scene vividly.

That was why Xu Qianqian was regarded as an exceptionally cold and beautiful High Mountain Flower at Demon Hunter Academy.

If An Zijin was a narcissus that attracted bees and butterflies, then Xu Qianqian was a rose covered in thorns.

Xu Qianqian had maintained that image for more than two full years. Even Li Wei, the current top student of the Hunter Department and a fourth-year, had hit wall after wall after publicly announcing that he intended to pursue her.

Thanks to that, quite a few irresponsible rumors had spread through Demon Hunter Academy.

For example, Xu Qianqian came from a prestigious family, so she would not associate with people of ordinary backgrounds.

For example, Xu Qianqian was frigid, and neither men nor women could easily win her favor.

Some people even believed that Xu Qianqian was already engaged, and that the prestigious family behind her intended to use her for a political marriage, forbidding her from casually getting close to others.

All kinds of rumors had circulated for two years, naturally causing many curious people and people with ulterior motives to pay close attention to Xu Qianqian's private life.

Now, Xu Qianqian had suddenly broken away from her old image, personally going to the boys' dormitory to hand a note to an "unknown" boy. No matter what, it was bound to spark a huge amount of discussion.

All kinds of speculation began appearing one after another.

In short, Su Ming had become famous.

The low profile he had maintained for an entire year had shattered today.

While the matter between Su Ming and Xu Qianqian was spreading like wildfire, conversations unknown to others were also taking place in certain corners of Demon Hunter Academy.

"Su Ming?"

At a training ground, an incredibly handsome young man with bulging muscles and a perfect physique comparable to that of a fitness instructor was wiping away sweat with a towel while looking at the heated discussion on the mobile forum. His brows were deeply furrowed.

Nearby, several students training with him seemed to be discussing the matter as well.

"No way? That Xu Qianqian?"

"I don't really believe it."

"But the facts are right in front of us. We have no choice but to believe it."

"Who exactly is this Su Ming? Why would Xu Qianqian go looking for him?"

"Could it be that the goddess finally came to her senses and wants to date some pretty boy from the Sorcerer Department?"

"After all, Xu Qianqian is already a third-year. Our academy runs on a four-year system, and she only has about two years left here. It wouldn't be strange if she wanted to have a relationship before graduating."

"Then why does she have to find some pretty boy from the Sorcerer Department? Doesn't our Hunter Department have good men?"

"Exactly. Those pretty boys from the Sorcerer Department are all so skinny. Can they even take it?"

"Uh... are you making a dirty joke?"

"I'm not! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"

The Hunter Department students grew more and more animated as they talked, and their discussion even showed faint signs of going off the rails.

It left the young man feeling rather displeased.

Two people walked over to him.

"Boss, are you okay?"

"Those guys have loose tongues. Want us to teach them a lesson?"

The two actually spoke to him like underlings.

"Teach them a lesson for what?" the young man said expressionlessly. "They're only discussing the matter. What reason is there to teach them a lesson?"

"How could there not be?" one of them said indignantly. "Who in all of Demon Hunter Academy doesn't know that you, Li Wei, are pursuing Xu Qianqian?"

"That's right." The other agreed. "They're talking about her like that. You must be feeling awful, Boss."

"Ignore them." Li Wei tossed aside his towel and said in a low voice, "I'll show them. I'll show Xu Qianqian that in this Demon Hunter Academy, only I, Li Wei, am worthy of her."

The two underlings exchanged glances.

"Then, Boss, what about Su Ming?"

"Should we..."

The two were about to offer some bad ideas.

Li Wei shot them a glare.

"What are you trying to do?" Li Wei said coldly. "Maybe Qianqian really does have business with him. If you go looking for trouble with him over this, aren't you just making Qianqian dislike me?"

The two immediately fell silent.

"Let's wait and see." Li Wei glanced at Su Ming's photo on the forum and said indifferently, "We'll talk after we figure out what's going on."

What else could the two underlings do?

They could only nod.

Demon Hunter Academy, girls' dormitory.

Inside one of the rooms, An Zijin was also listening to her two roommates discuss the matter.

"This senior named Su Ming is pretty impressive."

"If he can win over the treasured jewel of the Hunter Department, then he really is impressive."

The two gossiped and giggled at the same time.

An Zijin sat to one side, staring at Su Ming's photo on the mobile forum. Her beautiful large eyes were filled with uncertain emotions.

"Could this Su Ming be my Brother Su Ming?"

An Zijin was worried about precisely that.

Originally, An Zijin had planned to wait until the attention around her died down before seeking out her Brother Su Ming and reuniting with her childhood friend.

Who would have thought that such bombshell news would suddenly appear today?

An Zijin was not sure whether this Su Ming was the Su Ming she knew.

After all, the two had not seen each other for more than ten years. She had changed greatly, and An Zijin truly had no idea what her Brother Su Ming had become.

Therefore, An Zijin now desperately needed to know whether this Su Ming was her Brother Su Ming.

"No, I have to find a chance to confirm it."

An Zijin made up her mind.

At this moment, An Zijin did not know that this very decision would lead to her first direct confrontation with Demon Hunter Academy's other High Mountain Flower.
