Misunderstanding First, Deliberate Afterward (Bonus Chapter for Tips)

Looking at the heavy security here, Tang Miao turned around and asked, "Shall I take you there?"

"No need!" Blanche was determined not to let Tang Miao touch her again, no matter what.

"So you can get in here quietly?" Tang Miao then asked.

"I'm going back to the Alps Academy. Please tell Heidi for me..." With that, Blanche flew away without stopping.

Watching Blanche leave like that, Tang Miao didn't say anything. After all, how could he possibly deny everything if he took her back to see Heidi?

Knowing it wasn't her, why did you still go in?

So, it's actually a good thing she left.

Then, Tang Miao slipped silently into the heavily guarded city...

Although the knights of Parthenon were all quite strong, Tang Miao's Shadow Element mutation was so silent that only those far stronger than him could detect it.

The highest-ranking commander guarding this place was merely a first-tier, high-ranking Golden Radiance Knight. How could he possibly have detected him?

As he entered, he saw Zhao Manyan and Heidi, who were trapped there.

Then he stepped out from behind them and said, "What are you two doing here? Don't get involved in every little commotion. Didn't you sense that those are Super Level Mage fighting?"

Heidi and Zhao Manyan were both taken aback. Seeing Tang Miao return unharmed, Heidi forgot about what had happened earlier and asked, "Teacher Blanche, wasn't she with you?"

"Let's go back first..." Tang Miao gestured to the Parthenon Knights who were still there.

Although Heidi was concerned about Blanche's condition, she knew this wasn't the place to talk, so she nodded.

Zhao Manyan was still completely confused, but after running alongside Heidi, he had sobered up considerably...

The three left, Parthenon's knights did not stop them.

After all, they were inside the city, not coming back from outside.

After walking for a while, Heidi asked with some concern, "What about Teacher Blanche? How is she...? You won't...?"

Although she knew that Blanche was a fourth-order super-class, Tang Miao had personally witnessed his terror when he fought the Serpent and Scorpion tribes outside Cairo.

With the addition of two Monarch Level Element Pet, Blanche might not necessarily have the upper hand.

"She's fine, she just went back to the Alps Academy first," Tang Miao replied, then added, "I didn't know she'd be in your room..."

Although Heidi didn't mention it, it's only now, so Tang Miao still chose to take the initiative to admit his mistake.

Although... just as Blanche said, he did it on purpose!

However, at this point, he naturally couldn't admit it, otherwise he could forget about getting into the Alps Academy.

After all, Blanche would certainly not welcome him, but once wasn't enough?

He's always been a greedy person, and things will always change over time. After all, his investment tonight was different...

Heidi believed Tang Miao wouldn't lie to her; Blanche should have gone back. As for his "explanation"... Heidi didn't respond; she was in a state of confusion.

Although she wasn't Blanche's direct disciple, she was still a student!

But the fact that her "boyfriend" was given to her mentor... that's just outrageous!

But if she had a temper, she didn't know how to express it; if she didn't express her temper, Heidi always felt somewhat stifled!

On the way back to the hotel, Heidi finally spoke, "I'm going back tomorrow. I don't want to see you for a while..."

Tang Miao opened her mouth, seemingly unsure what to say, and just watched Heidi enter the elevator and the doors close...

Zhao Manyan, who was standing nearby, wasn't stupid either. Based on their conversation and Blanche's previous outburst, he made some guesses.

"Boss Tang, you wouldn't be giving Teacher Blanche..." As he spoke, Zhao Manyan made a gesture that any man would understand, and just stared at Tang Miao.

"Um."

Heidi went back to her room, and since it was just the two of them, there was nothing they couldn't talk about.

Anyway, they share the same interests; it's just that he's surrounded by goddesses, while Zhao Manyan mostly encounters young models...

"Protruding(艹艹)!!!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Manyan immediately cursed, then said, "Another goddess has been snatched up by you!!!"

"Even if there's nothing between us, you still have no chance, right?" Tang Miao said to Zhao Manyan with a smile.

"..."

Zhao Manyan paused. Although it was true... it just sounded so unpleasant!!!

It seems that when the two of them are together, if they encounter a girl who is talented, strong, and has her own unique characteristics, Zhao Manyan is practically ignored; he's just the one standing by, envious?

"I think I can't team up with you anymore. When I meet pretty girls, they're all attracted to you, you violent maniac," Zhao Manyan complained.

With Tang Miao around, even his powerful turtle shell ability had no chance to be displayed!

Even if there are such cases, they're only when you encounter something you can't handle...

When it comes to those Great Monarch Level, Zhao Manyan thinks it's best to forget about it. Goddesses are women, and young models are women too. It's just a matter of a few minutes anyway, so why not just have some fun and be done with it?

"Then next time we encounter Great Demon together, you go first, and I'll support you from the side," Tang Miao added.

"Then forget it. I think being alive is what really matters. Anyway, it's all the same with the lights off," Zhao Manyan said with a hint of bitterness.

"Really? Then why don't you just grab any random spot, turn off the lights, and see what it's like?" Tang Miao asked again.

"Can't you have a proper conversation? You'll have no friends if you keep going like this," Zhao Manyan said with dissatisfaction.

"Ding~!"

Just then, the elevator arrived.

Zhao Manyan immediately went inside, giving off an impression that he didn't want to talk to her anymore.

Tang Miao shrugged and followed him inside as he was about to close the door.

Clearly, Zhao Manyan was provoked.

However, he wasn't just provoked overnight, so there's no need to offer him any comfort.

When the two returned upstairs, they found Mu Bai and Apas there, both looking puzzled and unsure of what had happened.

Of course, there was also a hotel manager who came to inquire about the broken window.

"What's wrong with Heidi? And where did Blanche go?" Apas could tell that Heidi was in a bad mood, but she didn't know what had happened.

Moreover, being perceptive, she didn't ask her too many questions.

As for Mu Bai, although he was usually reserved, he could tell that Heidi wasn't in good shape. Besides, she had already said that Tang Miao and the others were behind them, so he could only wait.

"Blanche has returned to the Alps Academy; she probably has something urgent to attend to," Tang Miao said casually.

Zhao Manyan didn't say anything, even though he really wanted to expose him. But the feeling of being struck by lightning was extremely unpleasant, so he went straight back to his room.

Seeing that Tang Miao didn't say anything, and confirming that nothing was wrong, Mu Bai left.

As for Apas, she clearly didn't believe what Tang Miao said.

What could possibly damage the hotel accommodations here, and how could such a massive energy surge occur on the sea surface so soon afterward?

"Did you do something to Blanche?" After Mu Bai and Zhao Manyan left, and Tang Miao handed the manager compensation to send him away, Apas stared at him and asked.

"You're quite the clever one."

Tang Miao's lips twitched slightly, but there was no point in hiding anything from Apas. In any case, she was definitely the least likely person in the world to betray him.

The power of contracts is truly immense!

He then added, "Me and her... well, it was all a misunderstanding."

Tang Miao gave a brief explanation, Apas glared at him, then said, "Hmph, you probably knew but you wouldn't stop, you scumbag!"

"At that time, how could I possibly have any self-control?" Tang Miao retorted.

"You think you can fool me?" The mark of the contract appeared on Apas's head, as if to tell him that they were connected at heart.

Moreover, she also possesses psychic abilities, so in this situation, Tang Miao's act with her is clearly of no use.

"Okay, I didn't know it was her before I went up, but afterwards, I inevitably lost control. You know, I have very poor self-control in this area," Tang Miao confessed.

After staring at Tang Miao for a moment, Apas gave a cold "snort" and turned to leave.

It seemed as if they felt that staying here with Tang Miao for even a little longer would pollute them?

He can only go back to his own place to rest tonight; as for taking a bird-walking session, that's probably out of the question...
