Ouyang Zixin took the Communication Soul Device and stared blankly at the newly added contact named Leng Hanyuan.
So his name was Leng Hanyuan?
What a nice name.
"Still daydreaming about him?"
A fair hand suddenly landed on Ouyang Zixin's shoulder.
Startling Ouyang Zixin out of her daze.
Looking at the beautiful girl who had suddenly appeared behind her, Ouyang Zixin blushed and cried out coquettishly,
"Mu Xi!"
Mu Xi smiled smugly.
Then she looked her best friend over in surprise.
"Zixin, I never thought you'd actually go up and ask for his contact information!"
Her gaze made it seem as though she were looking at something unbelievable.
Mu Xi knew Ouyang Zixin's personality well.
Going up to ask a member of the opposite sex for contact information was certainly difficult for her.
Yet she had actually done it.
"Mm..."
Blushing, Ouyang Zixin pressed the Communication Soul Device in her hand against her chest.
She did not know how she had managed it just now either.
She had merely felt a rush of heat to her head and gone over.
The impulsiveness of youth could sometimes be so unreasonable, making people do things completely unlike their usual selves.
Although she had never met Leng Hanyuan before, the moment that sharply defined face entered her sight, it left a deep mark in Ouyang Zixin's heart.
Put romantically, it was love at first sight.
Put plainly, she had been captivated by his looks.
After all, Leng Hanyuan's face, coupled with the bearing of a quasi-god-level powerhouse, was lethally attractive to a young girl like Ouyang Zixin, whose heart had only just begun to stir.
Unaware of the conversation between the two girls, Gu Yue gave Leng Hanyuan beside her a strange look.
"You like that type?"
During this time at the Spirit Pagoda, Gu Yue had often seen female staff members come forward to curry favor with him.
There were even more who asked for his contact information.
But Leng Hanyuan had ignored every one of them.
She had originally thought Ouyang Zixin would receive the same treatment as those female staff members.
She had not expected Leng Hanyuan to agree.
Thus, in Gu Yue's eyes, Leng Hanyuan's actions were naturally interpreted as him liking youthful, vibrant girls like Ouyang Zixin.
"No. I just thought it was interesting."
Leng Hanyuan shook his head, a mischievous smile curling at his lips.
The reason he had agreed to leave Ouyang Zixin his contact information was not because he had taken a liking to the campus beauty.
It was merely a spur-of-the-moment act born from his perverse sense of humor, because Ouyang Zixin was Tang Wulin's senior crush.
Gu Yue did not understand.
As the embodiment of the Dragon God's wisdom, she could not understand what Leng Hanyuan meant at all.
She shook her head and looked away.
After spending this time with him, Gu Yue had grown used to Leng Hanyuan saying things she could not understand.
She could not see through this human at all.
She stopped walking, as though she had sensed something, and looked toward Eastsea Academy's training field.
Leng Hanyuan followed her gaze.
Two figures were running across the field, wearing iron uniforms made of chains.
Leng Hanyuan understood.
The more handsome boy was most likely Tang Wulin, the original protagonist and the son of the God King Tang.
As for the boy beside him, he should be Xie Xie, the owner of the twin-dagger martial soul.
They were probably undergoing running training again.
This was a tradition of Shrek Academy.
Starting from Tang San's generation, it had been running training.
By the era of Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, ten thousand years later, it was still running training.
Now, twenty thousand years had passed, and running training was still present.
It could only be said that this was Shrek Academy's time-honored educational method.
Teachers came and went, but running remained eternal!
Wu Zhangkong, who was watching Tang Wulin and Xie Xie train from beside the field, also noticed Leng Hanyuan and Gu Yue, neither of whom wore academy uniforms.
He frowned and walked over.
"Which class are you from?"
"Neither. We missed the registration period," Gu Yue answered indifferently.
Although her plan had changed slightly because of Leng Hanyuan,
its overall direction had not changed.
She first needed to join Eastsea Academy and create an opportunity for Tang Wulin to reveal humanity's vile nature.
That way, Na'er would give up, allowing her to return to her complete form with an unblemished heart.
"Not students of Eastsea Academy?"
Wu Zhangkong's frown deepened.
According to academy rules, he should have driven the two of them out right now.
But his intuition told him that neither of the two before him was ordinary.
Especially the young man watching Tang Wulin and Xie Xie run with an interested smile at the corner of his lips.
Though his temperament was as gentle as a spring breeze and he displayed nothing unusual, Wu Zhangkong still felt a faint, intangible pressure from him.
"Yes, she isn't."
"But she will be soon."
Leng Hanyuan withdrew his gaze and chuckled.
"Do you have the contact information of someone in charge at Eastsea Academy?"
He looked at Wu Zhangkong, and the way he regarded him like a junior made Wu Zhangkong uncomfortable.
Under normal circumstances, with his personality, he naturally would not bother with such matters.
Yet for some reason, as though Leng Hanyuan's words contained an irresistible magic, Wu Zhangkong departed from his usual behavior and actually nodded voluntarily.
"Then I'll trouble you to call him and have him come over."
"Mm." Wu Zhangkong answered coldly.
Almost unconsciously, he took out his Communication Soul Device and dialed the academy principal, Yu Zhen.
It was not until Yu Zhen's voice came from the Soul Tool that Wu Zhangkong suddenly came back to his senses!
He stared at Leng Hanyuan in shock.
His heart churned with overwhelming astonishment.
What was going on?
How could he have followed this man's instructions so obediently, without any resistance at all?
"Teacher Wu, is something the matter?"
Principal Yu Zhen's voice came through the Communication Soul Device.
He seemed puzzled that Wu Zhangkong had called but was not speaking.
However, because of Wu Zhangkong's special status, Yu Zhen remained quite patient.
Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Wu Zhangkong hesitated briefly before saying,
"Principal, someone wants to see you."
"South training field."
After saying that, Wu Zhangkong ended the call.
As always, he was concise and direct.
After putting the Communication Soul Device back into his pocket, Wu Zhangkong looked at Leng Hanyuan with many additional emotions in his eyes.
Curiosity, wariness, vigilance...
The mystery surrounding this young man with a faint smile had been infinitely magnified in Wu Zhangkong's mind.
This man...
Who exactly was he?
Unconcerned by Wu Zhangkong's gaze, Leng Hanyuan smiled faintly.
"Thanks."
The method he had used was very simple.
It was the same method he had used on the old gatekeeper.
He had used spiritual power to subtly exert a slight influence.
Although Wu Zhangkong's strength was far beyond that old gatekeeper's.
Before Leng Hanyuan...
There was not much difference.
