Only then did Wu Zhangkong deign to spare Kong Hanwen a glance.

"Teacher Kong, you greeted me before the match, but now that you've lost, you've gone silent. Truly—whenever you encounter a difficult question, you just stop talking."

"Is this what you call politeness?"

Wu Zhangkong said coldly.

"You!"

Kong Hanwen clenched his fists in fury, but cowed by Wu Zhangkong's overwhelming aura, he dared not utter another word.

"Alright, now please have Class Four and Class Five exchange class placards," Long Hengxu said, wiping sweat from his brow.

Wu Zhangkong gave a faint "Oh."

With a wave of her slender hand, the Class Four placard flew into her grasp.

Immediately after, the Class Five placard flew out from nowhere and, with a crisp slap, struck Kong Hanwen directly in the face.

"Wu Zhangkong!"

Kong Hanwen ripped the placard off his face, a large red mark left across his nose.

"Don't you go too far!"

But Wu Zhangkong didn't even want to acknowledge him; after announcing the end of the school day, she turned and left.

Xie Xie ran toward the school gate, feeling delighted.

"La la la~"

Humming a tune, Xie Xie was in a fantastic mood.

After all, he had been here for so long since transmigrating, yet he hadn't properly explored Eastsea City. Now that he finally didn't have special training, he was naturally going to have a blast!

Suddenly, his sleeve was tugged. Recognizing the familiar strength, Xie Xie knew who it was without turning around.

"I'm saying, it's this late, aren't you going to eat?" Xie Xie turned to look at Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin stared straight at him.

"Xie Xie, where are you going?"

"Going out to play, obviously!" Xie Xie replied without a second thought.

Tang Wulin said immediately, "Then I'm going too."

Xie Xie tilted his head. How strange; Tang Wulin was a guy who had no interest in anything other than eating and cultivation. Why did he want to go out and play today?

"I'm going too."

A female voice suddenly rang out by Xie Xie's ear, giving him such a fright that he shuddered and nearly fell flat on his backside.

After seeing who it was, Xie Xie snapped, "I'm saying, Gu Yue, can you not be so terrifying?"

Gu Yue wore a mocking smile. "Is that so?"

"But I recall someone scaring a student from Class Four until they fainted just a moment ago."

Xie Xie waved his hand. "Let's not talk about that, let's not."

"Fine." Gu Yue crossed her arms. "But I'm going too."

"No problem, come along then."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Xie's gaze darted back and forth between Tang Wulin and Gu Yue, then he looked up, his small head filled with big question marks: "Wait, when did you two change your clothes?"

"Just now," Tang Wulin said.

Seeing that Xie Xie was still wearing his school uniform, Gu Yue couldn't help but frown.

"Is that school uniform welded to your body? You're a young master from a wealthy family; can you really not afford to change your clothes?" Gu Yue stepped back in disgust.

"It's convenient!" Xie Xie said, sniffing his uniform. "It doesn't even smell, does it?"

Tang Wulin and Gu Yue exchanged a look.

Then, with tacit understanding, the two grabbed Xie Xie by the left and right.

"Hey, hey, hey? What are you doing!"

At first, Xie Xie struggled, but after Gu Yue unleashed a fireball, he immediately quieted down and let them drag him back to the dormitory.

The dormitory was empty; Yun Xiao and Zhou Changxi had gone to eat.

Gu Yue opened Xie Xie's wardrobe, only to find that apart from his school uniform, there was nothing but another school uniform.

"...Hiss."

She turned to look at Xie Xie, who was sitting obediently on his bed, and said sharply, "Where are your clothes?"

"In the Soul Guidance Storage Device," Xie Xie said, shaking the bracelet on his wrist.

"Why didn't you take them out?" Gu Yue asked.

Xie Xie answered honestly, "Because I was too lazy to."

"...That's a great answer. Don't answer next time." Gu Yue took off Xie Xie's Soul Guidance Storage Device bracelet and rewarded him with a fireball for good measure.

Xie Xie: Weak, helpless, afraid to speak (இωஇ)

After a thorough search, Tang Wulin and Gu Yue put together an outfit and tossed it to Xie Xie.

Following that, the two went outside the door to wait.

It didn't take long before Xie Xie walked out, having changed his clothes.

Xie Xie was dressed in a sharply tailored light-gray casual martial outfit; the fabric was thin yet crisp, exuding the unique, refined texture of a young master from a wealthy family.

The collar was adorned with a circle of extremely fine dark silver patterns, not flashy, yet sufficiently eye-catching.

On his lower body were slim-fit trousers of the same color, slightly tapered at the cuffs, paired with a pair of lightweight white soft-soled boots.

Xie Xie tugged at his hem, feeling awkward.

The light-gray martial outfit made his figure appear even more upright, and the youthful spirit previously hidden by his school uniform suddenly burst forth.

The dark silver patterns shimmered with fine light under the setting sun, and his soft-soled boots stepped lightly and nimbly on the ground; he looked less lazy and restless than usual, appearing more fresh and handsome.

Tang Wulin watched Xie Xie without blinking.

Beside him, Gu Yue crossed her arms, a trace of imperceptible satisfaction flashing in the depths of her eyes, though her mouth remained unforgiving.

She gave a light huff: "It's barely passable; at least you don't look like a little slob wrapped in a school uniform all day anymore."

After saying this, Gu Yue quickly scanned Xie Xie up and down once more.

She immediately added: "Don't fidget, keep it on properly. If you change back into that school uniform, I'm not going out with you to be embarrassed."

Although Xie Xie's cheeks burned slightly from being watched by the two, he refused to back down verbally.

"Of course, look who's wearing it!"

"Alright, stop being so vain!" Gu Yue turned around first, her skirt swishing as she spoke in a crisp tone: "If we dawdle any longer, it'll be dark."

Tang Wulin followed immediately.

After walking two steps, he turned back and shouted at Xie Xie, who was still standing in place, chest puffed out and head held high, admiring himself:

"Xie Xie, hurry up!"

"Coming, coming!"

Xie Xie replied and quickened his pace to catch up, feeling quite pleased with himself.

Being remodeled by these two guys, although the process was a bit "violent," the results seemed quite good indeed.

The three walked side by side on the road leading to the Prosperous Street of Eastsea City, the setting sun stretching their shadows long.

As soon as they stepped into the bustling area of Eastsea City, the clamor of voices rushed toward them.

Street vendors were hawking their wares, various Soul Tool trinkets glittered on the stalls, and the aroma of roasted meat mixed with the sweet scent of sugar-roasted chestnuts, making one's mouth water.

After walking for a short while, a stall for throwing a Soul Guidance Flying Disc to win small prizes appeared before the three of them.

Xie Xie's interest was instantly ignited.

His eyes sparkled, and he broke free from the "pincer movement" of the two, about to rush toward the stall: "That looks fun! I want to try it!"

"Hey, don't run off!"

Gu Yue accurately grabbed the back of Xie Xie's collar, dragging him back as if pulling a large dog, "Let's get this straight, the first stop today is to eat!"

Xie Xie looked at Gu Yue with a pitiful expression, "Is it really not okay?"

The brown-haired youth before her had slightly messy hair, the corners of his eyes drooping slightly, looking pitiful and longing.

He looked exactly like a brown Border Collie wanting to go out and play, whining and acting spoiled toward its owner.

Gu Yue's heart skipped a beat as she looked at his expression, and her fingertips loosened instinctively.
