Zhu Zhuqing's Curiosity, Proactive Contact

Dai Mubai was taken away by members of the Spirit Hall enforcement squad.

Bound tightly, he was dragged out without even being allowed to put on his clothes.

The Rose Hotel already had plenty of guests, and the streets outside were bustling with people.

Being escorted out like this, and by the Spirit Hall enforcement squad no less, was bound to cause quite a stir.

Dai Mubai gritted his teeth in anger, struggling to keep his head down, not daring to look at the expressions of those around him.

He could imagine that many people must be mocking him right now.

The Spirit Hall enforcement squad was going too far with this; were they trying to ruin him completely and make him die of shame?

Damn you, Spirit Hall! I won't let you get away with this!

A thick murderous intent surged in his eyes.

He had already marked Spirit Hall as his enemy.

"What are you lowering your head for? Do you know what shame is now?"

The captain of the enforcement squad slapped the back of his head.

Dai Mubai let out a muffled groan; the slap was so hard it nearly knocked his soul out of his body.

Was this guy doing it on purpose?

"You're so young yet you don't learn anything good. How did your parents raise you?"

The enforcement captain snorted, clearly very displeased with Dai Mubai.

He was even thinking about whether he should give him a good beating once they reached Spirit Hall.

His wife had been acting a bit strange lately.

There were even rumors that she was seeing a young man with blonde hair.

The guy in front of him was blonde, and a known lecher to boot.

He strongly suspected it might be this very fellow!

Whatever, as long as it was a young man with blonde hair, he would just let loose on him!

Dai Mubai didn't dare say anything more, though he could clearly feel the man's intense resentment.

"This guy is truly famous now."

Lin Ye muttered.

After such a scene, the entire Soto City would likely know about his affairs.

Normally, if someone seduced a decent woman, others would only disparage them a little.

Some might even be envious.

But to be caught in bed, and to have it escalate to the point where both the City Defense Army and Spirit Hall had to intervene, was extremely rare.

After this incident, Dai Mubai's reputation was completely ruined.

Xiao Wu snorted and said, "He deserved it; he's too filthy!"

"Exactly!"

Lin Ye said with a straight face.

"Let's go back to our room and rest."

Xiao Wu said with a smile, walking toward the room first.

Lin Ye glanced in the direction of Zhu Zhuqing, filled with mixed emotions.

I really didn't expect Zhu Zhuqing to be so impressive.

That scene of catching him in bed was incredible!

But what will she do now? Go back to the Star Luo Empire to suffer, or stay here?

Zhu Zhuqing's body trembled upon hearing his inner voice.

That's right, what should she do now?

She had already punished Dai Mubai.

Through this incident, she also knew that Dai Mubai was absolutely not someone she could rely on.

Trying to change her fate through him was clearly impossible.

So, should she return to the Star Luo Empire?

Returning to the Star Luo Empire is definitely dangerous; Zhu Zhuyun and Dai Weisi will certainly not let her go.

It would be better to join Shrek Academy; it's relatively safe for the time being.

Shrek Academy?

Zhu Zhuqing's expression flickered slightly.

It sounded like a decent choice.

It seemed that the other party was also planning to enroll in Shrek Academy.

What exactly was the deal with this man named Lin Ye?

Why could she hear his inner thoughts?

A strong sense of curiosity had already taken root in her heart.

Nothing could explain this situation.

Perhaps getting closer to him would reveal the truth.

With this in mind, she walked directly toward Lin Ye.

"Hello, do you happen to know where Shrek Academy is?"

Zhu Zhuqing's sudden approach startled Lin Ye.

"I do. It's just outside Soto City. Although the facilities are humble, it's an excellent academy!"

[Excellent my foot. Yu Xiaogang might have some ability, but he's a sleazy person, and his Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls were all plagiarized from other people's research.]

[If I were to accept Yu Xiaogang's training, I'd definitely be doomed.]

Lin Ye knew this very clearly.

Yu Xiaogang's teaching ability was passable.

However, there was a key issue.

The growth of Shrek Academy's students in the later stages actually had little to do with him.

Whether it was Tang San or Dai Mubai, they basically grew strong by obtaining massive amounts of fortuitous encounters.

Without those opportunities, if they had all trained strictly according to Yu Xiaogang's plans, it would be hard to say if they could all become Titled Douluo.

Let alone becoming gods.

Tang San was a walking cheat code.

He constantly broke the game, and those around him were forcibly dragged along to break the game as well.

Tang San upheld his teacher's theories, yet everything he did ended up shattering those very theories.

That was quite interesting.

Zhu Zhuqing felt a sense of calm.

Shrek Academy was worth attending!

As for whose guidance to accept, she would see how things played out when the time came.

For now, the priority was to figure out the matter of the inner thoughts.

And this man—why did he know so many things?

Some of them were things only she knew.

It was truly inconceivable.

"A-Ye, why haven't you come in yet?"

Xiao Wu's voice rang out from inside the room.

Immediately after, she poked her head out.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing, she seemed a bit surprised, yet it also felt like a matter of course.

Being this close, she could hear his inner thoughts too.

From Lin Ye's thoughts, she already knew that Zhu Zhuqing's situation seemed rather dire.

A girl being hunted down, even targeted by her own sister.

All in all, she was quite pitiful.

Since the other party could hear Lin Ye's inner thoughts just like her, they should have a good talk.

"Hello, I am Zhu Zhuqing."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly and took the initiative to greet her.

"Hello, my name is Xiao Wu, the 'Wu' for dancing."

"You're so pretty. Why don't we go out and chat?"

Xiao Wu said with a grin.

"That works."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't know what Xiao Wu wanted to talk to her about.

But since the other party had suggested it, she would go and see.

Moreover, seeing her made him feel quite relaxed.

It was as if he were facing an innocent, guileless girl.

"Are you two heading out? What were you chatting about?"

Lin Ye was curious. Could it be that fated companions were just like this?

Even though the circumstances of their meeting differed from the original plot, they still formed a bond instantly?

Tsk.

The inertia of the plot was terrifying; he would have to be more careful in the future.

"Just chatting about random things. A handsome guy shouldn't pry into a lady's business."

Xiao Wu rolled her eyes and took the initiative to grab Zhu Zhuqing's hand, leading her outside.

Zhu Zhuqing was a bit unaccustomed to it at first.

Being held by the hand, even by someone of the same age, felt awkward.

But she soon settled down.

It was just a girl; she shouldn't pose any threat to her.

Lin Ye scratched his head. Were they really just leaving like that?

Forget it, he couldn't understand girls' affairs.

If he had that kind of free time, he might as well take a nap.

Now at level sixty-two soul power, he wasn't worried about his cultivation progress at all.

With the system at his side, he just needed to keep checking in.

By diligently checking in, he could get his hands on all sorts of treasures until he grew soft.

It was a pity that he hadn't found any soul bones suitable for himself yet, which was a slight shame.

The main issue was that the soul bone grades were too low.

Without something tens of thousands of years old, he truly had no interest.

It would be best to obtain treasures like external soul bones, which had higher growth potential.

Meanwhile, Xiao Wu led Zhu Zhuqing out of the hotel and began strolling down the street.

"You lured me out—what do you want to do?"
