Zhu Zhuqing's Plan, a Strange Sense of Déjà Vu

After deliberately avoiding her for a while, Huoyao nodded slightly, as if deep in thought, and replied.

"Okay. If I have any plans, I'll let you know."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu both secretly let out a sigh of relief, their hearts filled with relief.

Good, good. Huoyao didn't notice anything unusual. As long as we don't expose the existence of the diary copy, there won't be a problem.

After returning to the dormitory with Huoyao, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu were somewhat excited, but the diary copy suddenly updated, immediately telling her that she had been happy too soon.

The two girls looked outside, then simultaneously opened their diary copies.

[Today brought an unexpected gain. Xiao Wu's attitude seemed to have changed somewhat. When Zhuqing and I were about to part ways, she actually agreed to walk with me.]

[Naturally, that was my purpose in staying at Taolangke Academy. It just felt like something was off. Logically speaking, Xiao Wu, who had just met me, should only want to follow Han San.]

[Could it be because she first saw Huohuo taking Fire Phoenix to Rose Hotel, then witnessed Fire Phoenix's true face after he forcefully shoved someone away, and also learned that Chang Feng, the dean of the Soul Master Academy, was thinking of finding a way to recruit me? Was that why she suddenly developed the idea of leaving the group?]

[Thinking about it carefully, that might make sense. After all, Taolangke Academy represented the commoner class. With neither money nor connections, before being taken in and groomed by others, anyone who wasn't stupid would have thoughts of finding another path.]

[I just don't know whether it's because I didn't join the group after being reborn like I did in my previous life that everything has deviated from its original course.]

[For now, I can't determine what exactly is going on. I'll just watch and listen for the time being.]

After seeing Huoyao's words, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu could only forcefully steady their breathing as their hearts began pounding wildly again.

Xiao Wu looked at Zhu Zhuqing anxiously and asked.

"Zhuqing, was I too hasty? Huoyao has already noticed that something isn't quite right."

Zhu Zhuqing was also troubled. Seeing Xiao Wu's flustered expression, she thought for a moment before comforting her.

"Don't worry. You saw the new diary content too, didn't you? Although Huoyao finds it a little strange, she doesn't suspect anything. As long as you restrain yourself a little from now on, you won't expose anything."

Xiao Wu nodded hard, then seemed to think of something and asked.

"If I want a more reasonable excuse to leave the group with you later, I'll have to get closer to Huoyao and tell her that I was already written into the diary, that the current me only wants to follow Han San. How should I say that?"

Without those words, she could have approached Huoyao however she pleased.

But now that Huoyao had already written it in the diary, if she abruptly stopped following Han San and instead took the initiative to approach Huoyao, wouldn't it be easy to expose herself?

Yet if she formed a good relationship with Huoyao, she might even have the chance to directly follow him into Taolangke Academy with the group.

Faced with such a dilemma, Xiao Wu's intelligence was simply not enough for her to come up with a perfect solution.

After a long silence, Zhu Zhuqing came up with an idea.

"If you don't mind, whenever I'm talking to Huoyao, you can use the excuse that you're staying with me to approach him."

"At the very least, that would give you a reasonable explanation and wouldn't make Huoyao suspicious."

Xiao Wu thought it over and felt that Zhu Zhuqing's idea was pretty good, so she nodded in agreement.

However, what she didn't know was that after saying those words, Zhu Zhuqing felt even stranger.

Before this, she had found it odd that Huoyao wanted to help Xiao Wu and Duoxu get closer, as if she were actively pushing Huoyao toward them.

Now, having Xiao Wu approach Huoyao under her own banner made that feeling even stronger.

But aside from that, Zhu Zhuqing truly had no other choice. Huoyao was a reborn person, and her senses in that regard were far too sharp.

One careless mistake could expose the existence of the diary copy.

After weighing the pros and cons, she could only do this.

They really know how to daydream.

I'm running around with sweat pouring down my back, while those two have already started discussing leaving Taolangke Academy with Huoyao. They're really having it too easy.

Duoxu was deeply resentful.

But after secretly complaining about Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu for a few moments, she became even more dissatisfied with that useless dean.

If Chang Feng hadn't smugly ordered her to run twenty laps around the village, she would definitely have found a way to get close to Huoyao.

In the end, she could only watch Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu put on their little performance while she herself was exhausted like a dog.

As she thought about it, Duoxu stumbled, and her right foot twisted as she fell to the ground.

Fortunately, her reflexes were quick enough, and she immediately curled up to protect herself.

The noise also caught O'Sullivan's attention ahead. O'Sullivan turned back and asked with concern.

"What's wrong? Are you hurt? Do you need to rest for a while?"

Faced with O'Sullivan's concerned expression, Duoxu glared fiercely at him.

"Get lost."

In Duoxu's eyes, O'Sullivan had long since become the same kind of person as Han San and Huohuo, all cut from the same cloth.

Especially since he clearly knew that Chang Feng had secretly followed them, yet hadn't warned her. That alone made Duoxu's impression of him plummet to rock bottom, and she was even too lazy to maintain a friendly facade with him.

As the famous little witch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Duoxu only acted a little more obedient in front of people she considered threatening or whom she feared.

If anyone else provoked her, the vengeful Duoxu would definitely find a way to strike back.

Chang Feng's actions had already left O'Sullivan seething with anger.

Having been choked off by that remark, O'Sullivan felt somewhat indignant. For a moment, he did not know what to say, so he could only obediently step aside and let Chang Feng pass him.

"Seeing you so impatient to get closer to Huoyao, accompanying him as he tackled the dungeon instances—haven't you considered what consequences exposing your daily-instance system might bring?"

Thousand Snow, the daughter of the Angel God, had been watching with cold eyes. Upon seeing Xiao Wu's new appearance, she immediately began angrily rebuking her.

In her eyes, even if Xiao Wu did not want to be schemed against by Han San as she had been in her previous life and end up sacrificed, she still should not have made it so obvious.

As the Child of Destiny chosen by the will of the Douluo Continent's plane, Han San had overturned the God Realm's rule in his previous life. How could the reborn Huoyao possibly be some insignificant nobody?

Of course not.

Before Huoyao, a rebirther, if she showed even the slightest abnormality before the owner of the daily-instance system, there was a strong chance that Huoyao would notice something was amiss.

Yet this fool named Xiao Wu was so smug and oblivious. Did she look like a hundred-thousand-year soul beast that had taken human form?
