Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, those two close friends, took quite a while to calm their racing hearts before walking over to sigh, "It was I who was narrow-minded. You weren't just boasting; you truly defeated Yu Tianheng with only a single finger."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue showed no reaction, and neither did Ye Lingling, but inside, Su Ye's heart was churning with massive waves.
What did she just say?
If Dugu Yan were merely expressing simple admiration, he wouldn't have thought much of it, but her tone was clearly off.
It was as if... as if she knew he had been running his mouth in his diary?
Having lived two lifetimes and clawed his way through this one alone, he had seen and experienced much, and his state of mind was already far from ordinary.
Though his heart was in turmoil, Su Ye didn't show a hint of it on the surface. Acting as if he had just heard a casual compliment, he replied modestly, "Just a stroke of luck."
"Luck? It was his luck that he managed to keep his life."
Dugu Yan rolled her eyes in a way that was still quite charming, pointing a finger at the corpse-like Yu Tianheng lying to the side, looking rather speechless.
"Ha..."
"Brother Su Ye, it's getting late. I shall take you to meet the three members of the Education Committee."
Seeing the two of them starting to chat again, Qian Renxue, who had returned to her usual composure, suddenly spoke up to interrupt.
For some reason, the more she watched the two of them laughing and talking, the more displeased she felt.
"Hm? Alright!" Su Ye nodded slightly.
He had already met Dugu Yan, and from the looks of it, her first impression of him was quite good.
So, he would leave it at that for today.
After all, if he pried too much upon first meeting, it would only arouse suspicion.
Dugu Yan hesitated for a moment, as if she wanted to say something.
But in the end, she didn't say anything more. After bidding the two of them farewell, she took Ye Lingling and left first.
"Heh, Brother Su Ye's charm is truly immense. You've won the favor of Miss Dugu upon your very first meeting."
Qian Renxue had precisely captured that fleeting look of hesitation on Dugu Yan's face, and her mood soured instantly.
Once the two women were far away, she immediately began to speak to Su Ye with biting sarcasm.
Su Ye raised an eyebrow, glancing at this little blonde in surprise.
[What's the situation? Is she jealous already?]
Pah, who's jealous?
Hmph, don't flatter yourself. This young lady wouldn't be jealous of you.
A strange expression flickered across Qian Renxue's face, but it returned to calm in an instant.
However, all of this was seen clearly by the observant Su Ye, and the corners of his mouth curled up instinctively.
As expected!
Interesting!
"Your Highness is joking. 'Favor' is far too strong a word."
"Mm."
Qian Renxue gave a noncommittal response, then fell silent, leading the way for Su Ye without another word.
Though she tried her best to deny it internally, she had to admit that Su Ye's words had indeed tugged at her heartstrings.
Was it jealousy?
Or was it possessiveness playing tricks on her?
She didn't know.
She hadn't figured out the answer even after meeting the three committee members, settling Su Ye in, and returning to the Crown Prince's Residence.
Furthermore, her heart felt increasingly chaotic, leaving her inexplicably irritable.
Clearly, before coming here today, she had only intended to recruit him for her own use; how had things gone so off-track after spending only half a day together?
"That guy is practically toxic."
After an unknown amount of time had passed, the little angel muttered a complaint under her breath.
And it was true—not only was that guy toxic, but she wasn't acting like herself either.
Normally, if anyone else dared to get that close and tease her, she would have slapped them away long ago.
But when facing Su Ye, even though she was angry, she...
Sigh!
As she thought about it, the little angel sighed once more.
She knew that she had lost her composure at some point, and she had to adjust herself back as soon as possible.
Hmph, she was a woman destined to build an empire.
Stinking men, get lost, all of you.
At the same moment.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, that pair of best friends, were both thinking about everything related to Su Ye in their minds.
A man shrouded in mystery, who was both handsome and powerful, was hard to ignore; curiosity was inevitable.
And curiosity was the beginning of falling for someone.
Su Ye was unaware of the three women's reactions, and even if he knew, he wouldn't overthink it.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's reactions were normal; if he had suddenly obtained someone else's diary and then met the person in reality, he would also be unable to stop himself from pondering.
As for Qian Renxue, that was even more normal—it was just possessiveness at work.
Although Douluo Continent was jokingly called Love Continent, it wasn't as if everyone was that blind.
He wasn't some kind of succubus; how could a single meeting make a girl's heart flutter?
That was unrealistic.
"I've written quite a bit today, so why is there no reaction from the diary?"
Inside his residence, Su Ye stared at the diary, muttering in confusion.
Although the diary only distributed rewards at midnight, there should be a notification of a successful check-in once the diary met the requirements.
Why wasn't there one today?
Was something wrong?
Su Ye stared at the diary, flipping through it repeatedly, until he finally discovered a line of small text above the opening.
[Today's Content: Please write a diary entry regarding the causes of future changes in the continent, as well as methods to change them!]
"Damn, such a tiny line of text?
"System, are you afraid I'd find it, planning to cheat me out of my rewards?"
"You jungle-stealing bastard!"
Su Ye unleashed a torrent of abuse at the System, then suddenly thought of something, his eyes flickering.
I just mentioned some situations about the future yesterday, and today it asks me to write this, plus the strange behavior of those women during the day...
A smile curled at the corners of Su Ye's mouth; his guess from earlier in the day could basically be confirmed.
I knew it, aren't diaries meant to be read by others?
Otherwise, what decent person would actually write a diary!
"Since that's the case..."
The smile on Su Ye's lips gradually became brazen, looking even a bit wicked.
The next second, with a flicker of his thoughts, a large block of text immediately appeared on the diary.
[Huh? Today's diary is actually complaining about filler? And it's making demands?]
[Write a diary entry about the future landscape of the continent, and whether the future can be changed?]
[Does this thing even count as a diary? Forget it, writing is writing; since the System demands it, I'll write it.]
Across the continent.
Seeing the diary update, various young maidens and beautiful ladies all perked up.
They all knew what the pinned post was, so they were especially expectant of today's diary.
That guy during the day had been rambling on and off, and although he revealed some information, it still lacked substance.
[The future, huh...]
[Honestly, compared to the future, the present can practically be called a golden age.]
[In the future, the flames of war will be constant, and Evil Soul Masters will run rampant. Not to mention the commoners who already have it hard, even the two great empires and the Upper Three Sects, the nobles among nobles, will... sigh...]
[The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect will eventually become history, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will see its sword broken and bones shattered; they can be considered a pair of brothers in misfortune.]
Seeing this, everyone's hearts skipped a beat.
If the dignified Upper Three Sects would end up like that, then they...
The women didn't even dare to think about it; the forces and families they belonged to couldn't even compare to those two great sects.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
Inside an incredibly luxurious room filled with a girlish atmosphere.
Ning Rongrong's pretty face had originally been beaming with a smile as she watched the drama, but when she saw the words "sword broken and bones shattered," her heart was fiercely tugged, and tears flowed down involuntarily.
"Sword Grandpa, Bone Grandpa..."
At the same moment, Moonlight Pavilion!
Tang Yuehua, usually so graceful, elegant, and unflappable, was now so shocked that the color drained from her face.
Although the diary did not mention the Clear Sky Sect, she was not naive enough to believe that the Clear Sky Sect would fare any better.
When the lips are gone, the teeth are cold!
Especially when it concerned such a massive upheaval, where pulling one hair could affect the whole body, how could the Clear Sky Sect possibly remain uninvolved?
Admittedly, the Clear Sky Sect was stronger than the other two sects, but it was precisely that strength that made them more conspicuous and more likely to attract fire.
