Xue Nianbing shook his head with a smile. "Let's go. The first assessment is about to begin, and Teacher Mu told us to get to class early."
"Okay."
Wang Dong nodded and followed behind Xue Nianbing.
Over the past three months, she had grown accustomed to Xue Nianbing's presence.
Wherever Xue Nianbing went, she wanted to follow.
Even when Xue Nianbing went out on a date with Jiang Nannan, she would tag along. She knew she would be a third wheel, but she still wanted to follow him.
The moment they stepped outside, they saw a fiery red figure approaching.
"Senior Sister Xiao Tao."
Wang Dong smiled faintly and called out to her.
"Wang Dong." Ma Xiaotao returned her smile. Especially after learning that Wang Dong was actually a girl, she felt much less repulsed.
Her lack of repulsion toward Xue Nianbing did not mean she felt the same toward other boys.
The fact that she had endured the torment of Evil Fire for so long yet remained chaste showed Ma Xiaotao's willpower in this regard.
Xue Nianbing genuinely admired her for that.
"Senior, you're in great condition. It seems you're about to break through to Soul Power Level sixty-six and become a Soul Emperor." Xue Nianbing carefully assessed Ma Xiaotao's condition.
"It's all thanks to you."
Ma Xiaotao kept smiling.
Over these three months, she had gradually learned from Cai Meier what the word "gentle" meant.
Though she had not changed completely, she had at least grasped some of its essence.
At the very least, when facing Xue Nianbing, she would restrain her temper and try her best to become "gentler."
This change had indeed worked.
Xue Nianbing had gradually begun to regard her as a "friend."
"I already said it, this is a deal... Forget it."
