Hatred Intensifies

Hatred Intensifies

The night passed without incident, and the next day arrived in the blink of an eye.

Qiangu Wuji rose early and headed to school together with Gu Yue.

Living a life that revolved strictly between home and school had almost become his daily routine.

Qiangu Wuji still found this quite ridiculous; he had died from exhaustion due to the 996 work schedule in his past life, and he never imagined that even after being reborn, he would still be unable to escape this fate.

As the saying goes, life is unpredictable, like intestines wrapped in intestines.

Before experiencing it, who could have ever imagined such a thing?

Soon, the two arrived at school. It was nearing class time, and the dozen or so students in the Soul Master Class had mostly all arrived.

During this period, the handsome and powerful Qiangu Wuji had long since become a popular figure in the class. Seeing him arrive, many people greeted him with smiles.

Qiangu Wuji, not finding it troublesome, responded to them one by one.

After finishing the round of greetings, he suddenly noticed someone sitting in the corner.

That person was different from everyone else in the class; he was exceptionally cold toward him, as if he hadn't seen him arrive at all.

This person was none other than Tang Wulin.

After a night, the injuries on Tang Wulin's body had completely healed, and there wasn't a trace of his previous wounds to be seen.

Looking at him, Qiangu Wuji could clearly sense that his mood was very low, and he couldn't help but feel surprised.

Could it be that he failed to break through the Golden Dragon King Seal?

Thinking of this possibility, he couldn't help but walk over, intending to probe a little, but before he could reach him, Gu Yue grabbed him from behind.

"What's wrong?"

Qiangu Wuji asked, puzzled.

Gu Yue hesitated for a moment, then finally leaned in and whispered into his ear.

"I beat him up yesterday."

"Huh?"

Qiangu Wuji opened his mouth wide, stunned.

So, the reason Gu Yue disappeared yesterday was that she went to beat up Tang Wulin?

Gu Yue's expression turned cold.

"What, do you have an opinion?"

"No, of course not."

Qiangu Wuji hurriedly shook his head, then shrugged and continued walking over.

If she beat him, she beat him; it wasn't like he was the one who did it.

However, this guy was his little lamb. If he got beaten up now and his mood was low, it wouldn't do if he became so discouraged that he couldn't recover—how would he be able to fleece him later?

Therefore, this was the perfect time to go over and offer some comfort.

"Wulin, morning. You seem to be in a bad mood today?"

Hearing this, Tang Wulin looked up at him, then glanced at Gu Yue beside him, and finally said nothing, simply standing up and leaving his seat.

His attitude made it clear that he didn't want to deal with either of them.

Before Qiangu Wuji could say anything, the students nearby who witnessed the scene were unhappy and began to scold him one after another.

"Hmph, what's he acting so arrogant for? What a rude guy."

This was said by a female student in the class. After speaking, she trotted over to Qiangu Wuji and said with a giggle.

"Student Qiangu, don't mind that guy. Do you want to come to my house after school today? I'll have my mom prepare something delicious."

Qiangu Wuji shook his head and smiled slightly.

"Sorry, I don't have time today. After school, I have to go learn other things."

"Oh? Student Qiangu, you actually have extracurricular tutoring? You're so hardworking; no wonder you're so strong."

The day's classes ended quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was afternoon.

The Junior Soul Master Department was mostly like this, focusing primarily on theoretical knowledge.

Qiangu Wuji knew even more about this knowledge than Lin Ximeng, so he found the lectures incredibly boring.

Having finally endured until the end of the school day, he pulled Gu Yue along, ready to head home together.

On the small city road under the setting sun, the two walked side by side.

On the street, the crowds surged, and the noisy sounds rose one after another, never-ending.

Qiangu Wuji pondered, waiting for a suitable time later to go find Mu Ye.

"Wulin, Dad got paid today and decided to treat you and your mother to a good meal. Tell me, what do you want to eat?"

As he was thinking, this voice drifted over from ahead.

Hearing this, Qiangu Wuji raised his eyes and looked forward, seeing Tang Wulin walking toward him while holding hands with a young couple.

Are these Tang Ziran and Lang Yue?

Looking at the two, he immediately deduced their identities, and then it occurred to him that they would be leaving in a short while.

Speaking of their departure, it was actually the catalyst for Tang Wulin's awakening and transformation.

He wondered if they would still leave in this world where things had already deviated from the original path.

As he thought this, the family of three soon arrived.

Tang Wulin glanced at him with surprise, but said nothing and prepared to walk right past him.

Qiangu Wuji watched with interest; just because the other party was rude didn't mean he would follow suit.

"Hello, Wulin."

The image of a good child had to be maintained to the end.

"Wulin, is this your friend?"

Up ahead, the Tang Ziran couple, who were about to leave, stopped upon hearing his greeting.

Tang Wulin looked back at him and Gu Yue, his expression turning unpleasant. He gritted his teeth and said stiffly, "Not a friend, just a classmate. Dad, let's go."

"Wulin, you child, since they are your classmates, you should get along even better. They greeted you, how can you be so impolite?"

As Tang Ziran spoke, he looked at Qiangu Wuji apologetically.

"Little girl, don't mind this child; he isn't usually like this."

Qiangu Wuji: "??"

Forget it, he was already used to it and couldn't be bothered to complain.

Shaking his head, he said, "Uncle, it's fine. I know Wulin isn't in a good mood today."

Hearing this, Tang Ziran looked moved.

"Look at that, such a sensible little girl. Sigh! And then look at my own child."

Qiangu Wuji listened silently. Although he enjoyed being praised, could they please change the way they addressed him?

Damn it, a girl?

"Dad, you don't know anything! This guy looks harmless on the surface, but he's actually a bad person. You must not be fooled by his appearance!"

Beside them, Tang Wulin was clearly angered by the accusation. He explained himself excitedly, then glared and marched fiercely up to Qiangu Wuji.

"What exactly do you want? I'm warning you, stay away from my family."

"Huh?" Qiangu Wuji blinked innocently. "What could I possibly do to you? I was just saying hello. Is that not allowed either?"

His innocent appearance, combined with his naturally beautiful features, made it look as if he were the one being bullied.

Nearby, Tang Ziran witnessed this scene and became instantly annoyed. He grabbed Tang Wulin by the back of his collar and hoisted him up.

"You little brat, to think you'd bully a girl right in front of me! How did I raise you?"

"Dad!"

"Enough!" Tang Ziran interrupted him roughly, then turned to Qiangu Wuji and said apologetically, "I'm sorry. I will definitely teach this kid a lesson when we get home."

"It's alright, Uncle. Wulin might just be in a bad mood. I can understand."

Qiangu Wuji shook his head and said.

"Look at that, that's what someone else's child is like, and then look at mine. Sigh!" Tang Ziran sighed, then glared. "We're going home. Still want a treat? Keep dreaming."
