Hi and Excuse Me!

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

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

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

That adoration even surpassed Xu Qianqian's.

After all, An Zijin's cuteness was effective not only on boys, but also devastatingly effective on girls.

In only a few days, this newly arrived department flower junior from the Sorcerer Department had become the little princess of the entire Demon Hunter Academy.

The saying, "Loved by everyone, flowers bloom at her sight, cars get flat tires when they see her, ghosts reincarnate upon meeting her, and even coffins pop open their lids for her," probably described someone like An Zijin, right?

Thus, An Zijin's popularity at Demon Hunter Academy was already comparable to Xu Qianqian's, if not a level higher.

And without question, every guy in the Sorcerer Department had successfully become a loyal servant beneath An Zijin's skirt after seeing her.

Ye Bai, for example.

"Hey, Lei Hao, do you think An Zijin will be moved if I write my love letter like this?"

That day, after spending an entire afternoon writing furiously in the dorm, Ye Bai took his masterpiece over to Lei Hao, who was shirtless and pounding away at a punching bag, eagerly asking for his opinion.

"Get lost!"

Lei Hao had been somewhat curious and glanced at it, but that one look nearly disgusted him so badly he wanted to vomit up last night's dinner. He could only offer Ye Bai a warm and loving greeting.

"My writing's not bad, right?" Ye Bai remained self-satisfied. He even moved over to Su Ming, who was sitting on the bed engrossed in a book, and said, "Su Ming, help me take a look too."

"Boss, no." Without even thinking, Su Ming jumped off the bed and fled far away.

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

The three of them made a ruckus in the dorm, turning the place into complete chaos.

In the end, after being brutally rejected by Su Ming and Lei Hao, Ye Bai could only reluctantly conclude,

"You're just jealous of me! Jealous that I write well, jealous that I'm about to get to know An Zijin!"

Ye Bai shouted at his two lousy friends.

Su Ming and Lei Hao simply gave him a round of derisive chuckles.

Lei Hao even said bluntly,

"You do know An Zijin. You've known her for a while already." Lei Hao sneered. "Too bad she doesn't know you."

"What did you say?" Ye Bai immediately glared at Lei Hao and shot back without mercy, "You think you're any different? Xu Qianqian doesn't know you at all either, does she?"

"What?" Lei Hao widened his eyes and shouted indignantly, "Who said that? Xu Qianqian and I definitely know each other, okay?"

"Then tell me." Naturally, Ye Bai would not be fooled by Lei Hao. He said sharply, "It's been a year since you enrolled. Since you first got to know Xu Qianqian until now, how many words has she said to you?"

"Well..." Lei Hao fell silent.

However, Su Ming could answer that question.

"Report! I know!"

Su Ming decisively raised his hand.

"Student Su, go ahead."

Ye Bai looked at Su Ming encouragingly.

"Hey! Su Ming!"

Lei Hao panicked.

But Su Ming paid him no heed and exposed him directly.

"From what I've seen whenever I'm with Young Master Lei, Xu Qianqian has probably said two sentences to him: 'Hello,' and 'Excuse me!'"

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

That instantly broke Lei Hao's defenses.

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

Red-faced and thick-necked, Lei Hao made this bold declaration.

But that only left Su Ming and Ye Bai speechless.

"Old Lei..."

The way Ye Bai looked at Lei Hao began to fill with sympathy.

Su Ming held his book in one hand and gently patted Lei Hao's shoulder with the other. The movement was tender and full of consolation; everything went without saying.

And so, Lei Hao cried.

"Damn it!"

The next second, tears streaming down his face, Lei Hao sprinted out of the dorm in shame.

"Wait! Old Lei! Your clothes!"

Ye Bai stood at the dorm entrance, waving Lei Hao's shirt and shouting so loudly that his voice carried far and wide.

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

"Look! Haozi's crying as he runs!"

"No, Haozi's running naked!"

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

"Could it be..."

In an instant, the rough men in countless boys' dorms began letting their imaginations run wild. Someone even handed Ye Bai a slender, flexible steel sword, nearly making Ye Bai unable to resist stabbing that brother right in the rear.

As for Su Ming, he continued reading without the slightest guilt.

Naturally, it was the spellbook for Celestial Revolution.

Although Su Ming already knew that, with insufficient Spiritual Power, he could not use this Spiritual Art anytime soon, that did not stop him from deepening his understanding and preparing for the day he could use Celestial Revolution.

Ye Bai still had no idea that the book Su Ming was reading was no ordinary book, but the spellbook for the eighty-eighth Spiritual Art.

Under such circumstances, Ye Bai naturally had no awareness that he was disturbing Su Ming. Still clutching his masterpiece, he came over to Su Ming.

"Su Ming..."

With thirty percent ingratiation, thirty percent nervousness, and forty percent shyness, Ye Bai spoke to Su Ming.

Su Ming instantly became wary.

It could not be helped. That guy's expression was far too easy to misunderstand.

Especially with that slender, flexible steel sword in his hand, which made Su Ming instinctively take a step back.

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

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

"Deliver a letter?" Su Ming froze, then looked utterly stunned. "Don't tell me it's for An Zijin?"

"As expected of you." Ye Bai beamed. "So smart."

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

"No!"

Without a second thought, Su Ming refused.

"Why?"

Ye Bai looked utterly incredulous, as though he had been betrayed by the person he trusted most, making Su Ming feel somewhat... disgusted!

"How did I offend you that you want me dead immediately?" Su Ming said helplessly. "Haven't you seen what happened these past few days to people who gave An Zijin gifts and love letters?"

These past few days, it was not as though nobody at Demon Hunter Academy had given An Zijin gifts or love letters. Some had even confessed to her on the spot, hoping to become her boyfriend.

But their endings could only be described as extremely miserable.

Not because An Zijin rejected them, but because they were blocked by An Zijin's fan club.

Yes, An Zijin already had her own fan club.

That alone showed just how popular An Zijin had become.

The most outrageous part was that the members of this fan club were almost all girls. Even the club president was a senior from the Sorcerer Department.

They had adopted the slogan, "Protect the cutest little Zijin in the whole world," believing that every man who wanted to approach their darling had filthy and despicable intentions.

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

This made it easy to imagine what would happen if someone gave An Zijin gifts or love letters and confessed to her on the spot.

It was said that the person who had confessed on the spot had been blacklisted by 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 a day he did private needlework in his dorm, directly stripping that confessor of his right to court anyone for the rest of his time at the academy.

Su Ming might not have any intention of courting someone at the academy, but he did not want to die socially either.

Now, Ye Bai was asking Su Ming to deliver a love letter to An Zijin, and it only gave Su Ming the feeling that this peasant is trying to harm his emperor.

There was no way he would not firmly refuse.

"B-but you're the only one who can help me!" Ye Bai hurriedly said. "Old Lei ran off crying, and he already has someone he likes, so he definitely doesn't want to lose his courting rights. The others are even less likely. Only you, Boss Su Ming, who thinks women hinder development, can help me!"

In other words, he wanted Su Ming to sacrifice his unwanted courting rights to help Ye Bai find a mate.

"Grr!"

A vein in the shape of a tic mark instantly appeared on Su Ming's forehead.

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

Just as Su Ming was unleashing a torrent of colorful language at Ye Bai in the dorm, a slender figure quietly appeared outside the entrance to the boys' dormitory.

"This is the boys' dormitory, right?"

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

After attending Demon Hunter Academy for so long, she had truly never 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 life, but fate had other plans.

"He should be here, right?"

The girl thought for a moment, then finally stepped forward and walked toward the boys' dormitory.

At that moment, a black shadow suddenly came sprinting toward her from ahead.

The girl immediately became alert.

But the other party ran while crying and shouting,

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

The person shouting at the top of his lungs while sprinting shirtless was naturally none other than Young Master Lei Hao.

"Huh?"

The girl was stunned on the spot.

Had she just heard something?

While the girl was still dumbfounded, Lei Hao noticed her as well.

"Y-you..."

Lei Hao stopped in his tracks and stared at the girl with a blank expression.

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

That sentence did not earn a reply from Lei Hao.

Lei Hao merely stood there silently, then began to cry with joy.

"Xu Qianqian said a third sentence to me!"

Lei Hao was so happy that he cried.

Xu Qianqian was stunned again.
