Tang Wutong Appears
After enjoying a hearty meal at the Keman Tower, the four of them leisurely strolled back to the Shrek Academy.
To be honest, it had been quite a while since they had gathered like this.
Since the Matchmaking Gala at Sea God Lake, Zhou Huan and Zhang Lexuan have officially become a couple. Zhou Huan has been sticking to his girlfriend all the time, and it's been a long time since he had a meal with his three friends like today.
It's true that when love comes, friendship is forgotten, perfectly embodying the phrase "forgetting friends for the sake of beauty."
Then came the Mingdu Soul Master Competition, where the four split into two teams, each busy with their own tasks.
After the competition ended, Xiao Xiao and the other two took on some Supervision Team missions from time to time, so they didn't have much time to get together.
The four of them walked along the campus path in the Outer Court, chatting and laughing for a while, and were in a very pleasant mood.
Suddenly, a stunningly beautiful girl with long, wavy, light blue hair walked towards us, her voice melodious. "Hello, I'd like to ask how to get to the Inner Court. I'm here to apply for a teaching position."
Zhou Huan's eyes flickered almost imperceptibly, but he didn't say anything.
As for Xiao Xiao and the other two, they were completely stunned when they saw the girl with long pink and blue hair in front of them.
It wasn't because she was too beautiful, but because... wasn't she Wang Qiu'er? Or rather, wasn't she Wang Dong'er grown up?
The first to react was Xiao Xiao. This little girl actually went over and grabbed the girl's hand, excitedly asking, "Dong'er, Dong'er, is that you?"
Of the people present, Xiao Xiao was actually the one who cared the most about Wang Dong'er, because she was the only one who entered the Inner Court with Wang Dong'er, and she was also the only one who was Wang Dong'er's best friend.
Ever since the incident at Qiankun Love-Seeking Valley, Xiao Xiao heard that Dong'er had fallen into a deep sleep and been sent back to the Clear Sky Sect, and she was saddened for a long time.
Now that Wang Dong'er has suddenly appeared at Shrek, how could Xiao Xiao not be excited?
As for Wang Qingya, her shock stemmed from a strange feeling she had after suddenly meeting this girl who looked exactly like Wang Qiu'er and Wang Dong'er, not from any particular close relationship she had with the two girls.
In fact, Wang Qingya didn't have any close relationships with either Wang Dong'er or Wang Qiu'er; their relationship could only be considered that of ordinary classmates.
Wang Qingya herself didn't know why, but she instinctively didn't want to have too much contact with Qiu and Dong, especially when she saw another "Wang Dong'er" who looked exactly the same as her, she became even more reluctant to get close.
As for Wen Xiaoshuai, needless to say, he's a socially awkward person, and his friend limit is already full. So far, he only has Zhou Huan, Xiao Xiao, and Wang Qingya. Any more than that would exceed the limit.
So at this moment, Wen Xiaoshuai's thoughts were actually, "What the hell is this? One identical person after another is appearing. Are you playing with nesting dolls?"
Just as the four were lost in their own thoughts, the girl with long pink and blue hair, whose hand Xiao Xiao was holding, immediately realized what was happening. She quickly broke free from Xiao Xiao's grasp, her brows furrowed, and said with displeasure, "You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not Wang Dong'er, nor am I Wang Qiu'er. My name is Tang Wutong."
Actually, you can't blame her for being angry.
Mainly, after she woke up, she was curious about Shrek, so she came here thinking of applying for a teaching position and then gradually learning about the college her parents had attended.
However, ever since she entered Shrek, many people she has met have treated her as an Inner Court disciple Wang Dong'er or Wang Qiu'er.
Moreover, every time she heard those two names, she felt a strange sense of irritation.
So whenever she asked for directions, she didn't want to continue the conversation when others mentioned Wang Qiu'er or Wang Dong'er.
That's why she never asked for directions to the Inner Court.
Thus, the scene of her asking Zhou Huan and the other three for directions came about.
Unfortunately, these people clearly mistook her for someone else.
At the same time, Xiao Xiao, whose hand had been shaken off by Tang Wutong, was first stunned, then looked disappointed. She thought her best friend had come back.
But the person in front of me really, really looks exactly like Dong'er.
Could it be that Dong'er forgot about her after waking up?
They are best friends who are not related by blood at all!
My best friend, we've fought together, skipped classes together, and slept together!
The distressed little girl almost shed two tears.
Zhou Huan, watching from the side, was somewhat helpless. He could only reach out and rub the little girl's head, comforting her, "Alright, alright, you're an adult now, a big girl. Don't cry like that, or I'll punch you one-shotted, you little whiner!"
Upon hearing this, the little girl burst out laughing.
Zhou Huan had explained the existence of the "whining monster" to her before, and she would never, ever become one.
At this moment, Wang Qingya also pulled Xiao Xiao's hand and said, "I said, little pet, the way you're crying and laughing is so ugly."
As she spoke, Wang Qingya slapped a tissue onto Xiao Xiao's face and then vigorously wiped it.
Zhou Huan felt uncomfortable watching this, and almost began to wonder if the two were just fake friends.
Then, Wang Qingya said, "Little pet, don't be sad. She really isn't Wang Dong'er."
Tang Wutong, who was about to turn and leave, stopped in her tracks upon hearing Wang Qingya's words, because this was the first person to say so definitively that she was not Wang Dong'er.
After hearing this, Xiao Xiao looked at Zhou Huan with her big, bright eyes, clearly asking for his opinion. Wang Qingya, who was standing to the side, rolled her eyes. Did he not believe her, a dignified level 55 Soul King?
Zhou Huan had no choice but to confirm, "She is indeed neither Wang Dong'er nor Wang Qiu'er."
Another person who concluded that she was neither Wang Dong'er nor Wang Qiu'er. Tang Wutong looked at Zhou Huan and Wang Qingya with some curiosity, as if trying to figure something out, but unfortunately she couldn't understand anything.
Zhou Huan naturally didn't want to have too much contact with Tang Wutong, so he said to Xiao Xiao and the other two, "Let's go."
At this moment, Tang Wutong suddenly stood in front of them again, clearly blocking their way, and said, "Can you tell me the way to the Inner Court?"
Having finally met two people who didn't treat her like a stranger, Tang Wutong didn't want to miss out on this opportunity.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan said expressionlessly, "See that lake in the distance? The Inner Court is in the middle of the lake; you can just go there."
This was the first time Tang Wutong had ever met someone so cold to her. After all, she was stunningly beautiful, and neither men nor women would usually treat her coldly.
Men naturally like or admire her beauty, and even women are too beautiful for her to feel jealous, because the difference is too great. When they are on different levels and cannot be compared, jealousy is meaningless.
However, the person in front of her didn't show the slightest fluctuation in his gaze towards her, as if he were looking at an ordinary person, no, he should be looking at an object.
This made Tang Wutong feel a little displeased, and even a little curious.
But since they had given her directions, and Tang Wutong wasn't ungrateful, she said, "Thank you."
After saying that, he unfurled a pair of blue dragon wings and flew towards the Sea God Lake.
At this moment, Wang Qingya patted Xiao Xiao's head and said, "See? This isn't the Light Goddess Butterfly at all. In other words, she's not Wang Dong'er, and she certainly can't be Wang Qiu'er."
Xiao Xiao watched Tang Wutong fly away, her little face puffing out slightly. "Hmph, what kind of person is she? Even if I mistook her for someone else, she didn't have to shake my hand off like she was swatting a fly."
Ignoring Xiao Xiao's rapid change in expression, Wen Xiaoshuai suddenly asked, "What kind of Martial Soul does she have? I've never seen it before?"
Zhou Huan watched Tang Wutong walk away and replied, "Her Martial Soul is called the Dragon God Butterfly, which is even Martial Soul than the Light Goddess Butterfly."
Upon hearing this, Wen Xiaoshuai nodded thoughtfully, seemingly lost in thought. He wasn't as easily fooled as that little girl, Xiao Xiao.
From the moment Tang Wutong appeared, Wen Xiaoshuai noticed the changes in Zhou Huan and Wang Qingya to some extent. It wasn't a change in their facial expressions or gazes, but rather a kind of almost imperceptible body language—not a big movement, or even a movement at all.
This kind of body language can only be recognized by those who are very familiar with the person making it, and even the person making it is doing so subconsciously, sometimes without even realizing it themselves.
But Wen Xiaoshuai was so familiar with Zhou Huan and Wang Qingya that he could tell that the two of them had an instinctive resistance and distance towards Tang Wutong.
However, Wen Xiaoshuai did not press Zhou Huan or Wang Qingya for answers at the moment. Obviously, he did not want Xiao Xiao to overthink things. After all, the little girl still had a deep sisterly affection for Wang Dong'er. If Tang Wutong really had a problem, it would be better not to say anything.
