Hello, and Excuse Me!

An Zijin's story spread throughout Demon Hunter Academy in less than three days.

By now, every teacher and student at Demon Hunter Academy knew that this year's freshman chief was a High Mountain Flower comparable to Xu Qianqian of the Hunter Department.

In just a few days, An Zijin had smoothly won everyone's affection and become the target of a frenzy of adoration.

This adoration even surpassed Xu Qianqian's.

After all, An Zijin's cuteness was effective not only on boys but also had considerable destructive power against girls.

This new junior from the Sorcerer Department, the department flower, had become the little princess of the entire Demon Hunter Academy in just a few days.

The saying that everyone loved her, flowers bloomed when they saw her, cars blew their tires when they saw her, ghosts reincarnated when they saw her, and even coffins had to open their lids when they saw her—probably referred to someone like An Zijin, right?

Thus, An Zijin's popularity at Demon Hunter Academy was already on par with Xu Qianqian's, if not even higher.

And without a doubt, every man in the Sorcerer Department had become a loyal subject beneath An Zijin's pomegranate skirt after seeing her.

Ye Bai, for example.

"Hey, Lei Hao, do you think An Zijin will be moved when she sees my love letter written like this?"

That day, after spending the entire afternoon writing furiously in his dormitory, Ye Bai brought his masterpiece before Lei Hao, who was shirtless and furiously pounding a punching bag. His face was filled with excitement as he sought Lei Hao's opinion.

"Get lost!"

Lei Hao had originally cast a curious glance at it, but that single glance nearly made him so sickened and disgusted that he vomited up everything he had eaten the night before. All he could do was offer Ye Bai a kind and affectionate greeting.

"My writing is pretty good, right?" Ye Bai continued to admire himself. He even went over to Su Ming, who was sitting on his bed and engrossed in a book, and said, "Su Ming, you should take a look too. What do you think?"

"Boss, don't." Without even thinking, Su Ming jumped off the bed and fled into the distance.

"Hey, don't go." Ye Bai immediately chased after him.

The three of them caused such a ruckus in the dormitory that it became a complete mess.

In the end, after being rejected for his ugliness by Su Ming and Lei Hao, Ye Bai could only unwillingly conclude,

"You're just jealous of me! Jealous that my writing is good, and jealous that I'm about to get to know An Zijin!"

Ye Bai shouted at his two wicked friends.

Su Ming and Lei Hao both responded with a burst of dry laughter.

Lei Hao even bluntly declared,

"You do know An Zijin, and you knew her a long time ago." Lei Hao sneered. "Unfortunately, she doesn't know you."

"What did you say?" Ye Bai glared angrily at Lei Hao and retorted without the slightest courtesy, "Do you think you're any different? Xu Qianqian doesn't know you either, does she?"

"What?" Lei Hao's eyes widened as he shouted furiously, "Who said that? Xu Qianqian and I definitely know each other, all right?"

"Then tell me." Ye Bai naturally wasn't fooled by Lei Hao. His words were sharp. "It's been a year since enrollment. From the time you met Xu Qianqian until now, how many words has she actually said to you?"

"Uh..." Lei Hao was speechless.

Su Ming, however, could answer that question.

"Reporting! I know!"

Su Ming resolutely raised his hand.

"Student Su, go ahead."

Ye Bai looked at Su Ming with an encouraging gaze.

"Hey! Su Ming!"

Lei Hao panicked.

Su Ming ignored him completely and exposed him outright.

"Based on the situations I've encountered while spending time with Young Master Lei, Xu Qianqian has probably said two things to him: 'Hello' and 'Excuse me.'"

The honest Su Ming did not care at all that he was exposing someone else's shortcomings.

That immediately broke Lei Hao.

"I-I'll definitely make her say a third thing to me this year!"

Lei Hao's face and neck flushed as he made that grand declaration.

Instead, this left Su Ming and Ye Bai utterly at a loss.

"Old Lei..."

The look Ye Bai gave Lei Hao began to fill with sympathy.

Su Ming went even further. Holding his book in one hand, he patted Lei Hao's shoulder with the other, his movements gentle and full of consolation. Everything was conveyed without words.

And so, Lei Hao cried.

"Damn it! Sob!"

The next second, Lei Hao burst into tears, sprinted out of the dormitory, and fled in embarrassment.

"Wait! Old Lei! Your clothes!"

Ye Bai grabbed Lei Hao's shirt and waved it at the dormitory entrance, his voice spreading loudly through the corridor.

In an instant, countless curious heads poked out from the dormitory windows and doorways.

"Look! Haozi is running away in tears!"

"No, wait! Haozi is running naked!"

"Why is Ye Bai holding Haozi's clothes and shouting?"

"Could it be..."

In an instant, the rough men in countless boys' dormitories began letting their imaginations run wild. Someone even handed Ye Bai a slender elastic steel sword, nearly making him lose control and stab it into that fellow's rear.

As for Su Ming, he continued reading his book without the slightest trace of guilt.

It was naturally the spellbook for Celestial Revolution.

Although Su Ming already knew that, with his lack of Spiritual Power, he would be unable to use this Spiritual Art for a short time, that did not stop him from deepening his understanding and preparing for the day he could use Celestial Revolution.

Ye Bai still did not know that the book Su Ming was reading was no ordinary book, but the spellbook for the Eighty-Eighth Spiritual Art.

Under these circumstances, Ye Bai naturally had no awareness that he was disturbing Su Ming. He continued holding his masterpiece and came before Su Ming.

"Su Ming..."

Ye Bai spoke to Su Ming with three parts ingratiation, three parts nervousness, and four parts bashfulness.

Su Ming instantly became wary.

There was no helping it. That guy's expression was far too easy to misunderstand.

Especially the slender elastic steel sword in his hand, which made Su Ming involuntarily take a step backward.

"What are you doing?" Su Ming said warily. "I'm warning you, don't get any ideas about me. My orientation is normal!"

"My orientation is normal too!" Ye Bai's face filled with black lines. He tossed away the sword and said angrily, "I'm not asking you to fence with me. I'm asking you to help me deliver a letter!"

"Deliver a letter?" Su Ming was stunned for a moment, then said in utter astonishment, "Don't tell me it's for An Zijin?"

"As expected of you." Ye Bai's eyebrows danced with delight. "You're really smart."

However, Ye Bai's shameless praise did not make Su Ming happy in the slightest.

"No!"

Su Ming rejected him without even thinking.

"Why?"

Ye Bai looked incredulous, as though he had been betrayed by the person he trusted most. It made Su Ming feel a little... disgusted!

"How did I offend you, that you want me to die right away?" Su Ming said, utterly speechless. "Haven't you seen what happened to everyone who has given An Zijin gifts and love letters these past few days?"

These past few days, it wasn't that nobody at Demon Hunter Academy had given An Zijin gifts or love letters. Some had even confessed to her in person, hoping to become her romantic partner.

But their fate could only be described as miserable.

Not because An Zijin had rejected them, but because An Zijin's fan club had blocked them.

Yes, An Zijin already had her own fan club.

This showed just how popular An Zijin had become.

Most outrageous of all, the members of this fan club were basically all girls. Even the club leader was a senior student from the Sorcerer Department.

They had shouted the slogan, "Protect the world's cutest little Zijin," believing that every man who planned to approach their little darling harbored filthy and despicable intentions.

To protect their little darling, they stopped every male who intended to approach An Zijin. Even instructors had to obtain their approval before being allowed through.

One could completely imagine what would happen if someone gave An Zijin gifts and a love letter, then confessed to her in person.

It was said that the person who had confessed in public had already become the target of hatred from nearly every senior girl in Demon Hunter Academy. They spread rumors and scandals about him everywhere, even digging up and exposing the secret of how many times he did unmentionable needlework in his dormitory each day. The confessor had directly lost his right to pursue a partner during his time at the academy.

Su Ming certainly had no intention of pursuing a partner at the academy, but neither did he want to die of social embarrassment.

Now that Ye Bai was asking Su Ming to help deliver a love letter to An Zijin, it only gave Su Ming the feeling that this scoundrel is trying to harm me.

Refusing outright was the only possible choice.

"B-But you're the only one who can help me!" Ye Bai hurriedly said. "Old Lei has run off crying, and he already has someone in his heart, so he definitely doesn't want to lose his right to pursue a partner. The others go without saying. Only you, Boss Su, who believes women affect development, can help me!"

What he meant was that Su Ming should sacrifice a right he did not need and help him pursue a partner.

"Grr!"

An angry tic-tac-toe mark appeared directly on Su Ming's forehead.

Maybe I'm not a person, but this guy is truly a dog.

Just as Su Ming was spewing furious abuse at Ye Bai in the dormitory, a graceful figure appeared outside the boys' dormitory entrance.

"So this is the boys' dormitory?"

The beautiful girl gazed at the dormitory before her, a faint trace of curiosity appearing in her eyes.

She had been studying at Demon Hunter Academy for so long, yet she had never once visited the boys' dormitory or seen what it looked like.

She had originally thought she would never come to a place like this in her entire life, but she had not expected fate to play such a trick on her.

"He should be here, right?"

The girl thought for a moment, then finally took a step toward the boys' dormitory.

At that moment, a dark figure suddenly came sprinting from ahead of the girl.

The girl immediately became alert.

But the other person was shouting wildly while scattering tears.

"Damn it! I'll definitely make Xu Qianqian say a third thing to me! Sob!"

Someone who shouted so loudly while sprinting around shirtless was naturally our Young Master Lei Hao.

"Huh?"

The girl was utterly dumbfounded.

Did I just hear something?

While the girl stood there in confusion, Lei Hao also noticed her.

"You—you..."

Lei Hao stopped in his tracks and stared at the girl in a daze.

"Hello." Seeing this, the girl hesitated for a while before finally choosing to speak to Lei Hao. "Excuse me, is Su Ming here?"

What she received in response was not Lei Hao's answer.

Lei Hao merely stood there in silence. Then, tears of joy began to flow.

"Xu Qianqian said a third thing to me!"

Lei Hao was so happy that he cried.

Xu Qianqian was dumbfounded once again.
