Zhu Zhuqing was no fool; Xiao Wu would not have asked her out for no reason.
There had to be something going on.
Could it be because of Lin Ye?
That was certainly possible. After all, she had been at their door earlier trying to get to know Lin Ye—could Xiao Wu not be jealous?
Everyone staying at the Rose Hotel was a young couple, and it was highly likely that Lin Ye and Xiao Wu shared that kind of relationship.
So, was Xiao Wu feeling anxious? Was she looking to declare war or perhaps intimidate her?
Xiao Wu let go of her hand and said with a giggle, "I know you can hear Lin Ye's inner voice too, right?"
"Hm, what?"
Zhu Zhuqing answered instinctively, then immediately realized what had been said.
Inner voice!
She could hear it too?
That was the key!
"Are you saying that you can hear his inner voice as well?"
Zhu Zhuqing was shocked. At first, she had assumed she was special.
She never expected that someone else could hear it too.
This only piqued her curiosity even further.
Being able to hear the inner voice of another person was an inherently strange and bizarre phenomenon.
Now that another person could hear it as well, the situation seemed to be getting a bit complicated.
Or perhaps, Lin Ye was simply a very special person.
That was the only reason they could hear his thoughts.
As for the inner voices of others, they were completely unable to hear them.
Xiao Wu chuckled, "Of course I can. I've been listening to his inner voice for six years."
"At first, I thought I was special, that I was the only one who could hear his thoughts for the past six years."
"Now, you are the second."
"I'm the second?"
Zhu Zhuqing was very surprised.
Lin Ye's inner voice had started six years ago, but she hadn't heard it back then.
For six years, only Xiao Wu had been listening.
So, there must be a distance limitation to the inner voice.
It could only be heard within a specific range, and perhaps it required specific conditions.
"So, why exactly did you bring me out here?"
Zhu Zhuqing did not quite understand. Even though being able to hear someone's inner voice was a unique occurrence, it didn't seem necessary to drag her out here for it.
Xiao Wu's expression gradually turned serious.
"Do you know? For six years, I've been listening to Lin Ye's inner voice, and through it, I've confirmed one thing."
"What thing?"
"I believe you felt it today too—Lin Ye knows many things, even things about the future."
"He is omniscient and omnipotent!"
Over these six years, Xiao Wu had indeed heard many things about herself.
She had also heard quite a bit about Tang San.
For instance, Tang San's future, his abilities, his opportunities, and so on.
Six years was enough time for her to learn far, far too much.
It was precisely because she had listened to these inner thoughts and learned of the future that she felt even more disgust toward Tang San.
It had even reached the point of bone-deep hatred.
Tang San was a petty man, a villain who had been calculating against her.
And Tang Hao as well!
If not for Lin Ye, her fate might have unfolded exactly as his inner voice had revealed.
In the end, although she would have become a god, she would have lost her freedom.
Furthermore, Daming and Erming would have sacrificed themselves for Tang San.
Tang San's ascension to godhood was not friendly toward the soul beast clan.
Ten thousand years later, the area of the Star Dou Great Forest had shrunk drastically, and the number of soul beasts had plummeted.
The root of it all could be traced back to Tang San, or perhaps, to Tang Hao.
This father-son duo was practically the number one enemy of the soul beast clan.
They specialized in wreaking havoc on soul beasts over a hundred thousand years old.
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned when she heard Xiao Wu's words.
Knowing things about the future?
Was that the ability to prophesy, or something else?
Was that kind of power truly something a human could master?
"Does he really know about the future?"
Zhu Zhuqing was deeply shocked.
If a person knew everything about the future, wouldn't that be defying the heavens?
"Of course he does. This is based on my six years of experience with him. That's why he knows all about you, too."
"Don't you find it strange? You've clearly never met, yet he recognized you."
Xiao Wu's words made Zhu Zhuqing think back to their first meeting today.
She had only glanced at him from afar.
Yet, he had recognized her.
She was certain that before that moment, she had never seen him and did not know him at all.
"So, if you want to change your destiny, he might be able to help you."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing remained silent for a long time.
There seemed to be a struggle within her, but also a sense of anticipation.
She wanted to change her fate too badly.
If her destiny were tied to Dai Mubai, it would be a terrifying prospect.
Dai Mubai was by no means a good match.
One could tell exactly what kind of person he was just by looking at what he was doing now.
He lacked even a shred of responsibility and bullied the weak.
"Then how should I get him to help me?"
Zhu Zhuqing's expression gradually turned serious.
She truly wanted Lin Ye's help, but she didn't know how to bring it up.
Was she supposed to tell Lin Ye, "I heard your inner thoughts, please help me change my fate"?
If she really did that, Lin Ye would surely bolt, and she would never be able to find him again in this lifetime.
"It's actually quite simple. You just need to go to Shrek Academy."
"By his side, you can hear his inner thoughts, and naturally, you'll learn many things, including what you will experience in the future."
"Thank you."
"No need to thank me. I think we'll become great friends."
Xiao Wu said with a grin.
Since they were both people who could hear Lin Ye's inner thoughts, they were linked together.
By sticking together, they would become even stronger.
Especially regarding the matter of Tang San!
Tang San had far too many opportunities.
If Tang San were allowed to obtain them, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Yes, we will become good friends."
Zhu Zhuqing was no fool.
Now that they had common ground, becoming friends was undoubtedly the best choice.
If they were enemies, she would be at a disadvantage.
Because Lin Ye was right by Xiao Wu's side.
Xiao Wu could easily obtain all sorts of important opportunities through Lin Ye and grow strong rapidly.
"Let's head back then. We'll report to Shrek tomorrow."
Xiao Wu took Zhu Zhuqing's hand again, and the two walked toward the Rose Hotel.
By this time, Lin Ye had already fallen asleep, waiting for tomorrow's check-in.
"We're staying together?"
Zhu Zhuqing felt a bit troubled.
Following Xiao Wu into the suite and seeing Lin Ye already fast asleep, she found it hard to accept.
The suite did have two bedrooms, but staying in the same unit as a strange man was still quite awkward.
"It's not like we're sleeping in the same bed, what are you afraid of?"
Xiao Wu pushed Zhu Zhuqing into the room.
Then, under Zhu Zhuqing's astonished gaze, she picked up a pillow and prepared to leave.
"You, where are you going?"
"To sleep with Ah Ye. I get insomnia without him."
Xiao Wu answered righteously.
They had spent the last six years exactly like this.
Although she wasn't picky about beds, the person in the bed was very important.
If she slept alone, she really couldn't drift off.
Having a super-sized 'body pillow' beside her made sleeping so much more comfortable.
Zhu Zhuqing was dumbfounded; she hadn't expected the two of them to have been sleeping together for so long.
At this moment, she felt like she was shining quite brightly—brighter than the lamp on the ceiling!
Xiao Wu entered the bedroom, nimbly kicked off her shoes, tossed the pillow aside, and after lying down, draped a long, slender leg over Lin Ye's body.
She adjusted her position, then finally drifted off to sleep in comfort.
