Half past six, still half an hour.
"Xiao Ya, are you hungry?"
Hearing Su Ling's gentle voice, Tang Ya did not respond immediately, but after a few seconds, a pair of pink-purple eyes poked out from the quilt, "... hungry."
"What do you want to eat?"
"... Anything is fine."
Su Ling stood up and put on his robe. When he walked to the door, he paused, then looked back, "Xiao Ya."
"Huh?" Tang Ya poked his little head out of the quilt.
"Thank you for last night~"
When Tang Ya heard this, he shrank back suddenly, and in an instant he huddled under the covers. He only let out a muffled cry with embarrassment, "Go quickly!!!"
[Tang Ya favorability +2]
[Tang Ya is ashamed and angry, feeling happy and satisfied in his heart, Strategy Points critical hit +200]
Su Ling smiled and pushed the door open.
The morning breeze blew against my face, carrying the refreshing scent of vegetation.
He walked out of the corridor, stood at the gate, faced the rising sun, and took a deep breath.
A new day has begun.
He first went to the canteen to pack two light breakfasts, hot porridge, red dates and white fungus soup, and two freshly baked soup dumplings.
Thinking about Tang Ya, I worked until midnight last night and probably didn't have the appetite to eat anything too greasy.
When he returned to the housing area with the food box, Tang Ya had washed himself, dressed neatly, and was sitting by the bed in a daze.
Seeing Su Ling pushing the door open, she turned her head away reflexively, and the tips of her ears quietly turned red again.
"I brought you red dates and white fungus soup."
Su Ling Place the food box on the table, open the lid, and the hot steam fills the air with a sweet aroma.
Tang Ya glanced at him secretly, stepped on velvet white slippers and moved to the table to sit down, took the spoon from him, lowered his head and drank in small sips.
The two of them tacitly didn't mention last night's charm, and finished breakfast quietly.
Su Ling put away the dishes and looked at Tang Ya,
"I have something to do in the afternoon. I have to go to the Sea God Pavilion. I'll leave this place to you at the Dark Pavilion. If anything happens, please send someone to notify me at any time."
"Okay." Tang Ya nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Su Ling stood up with the bag and walked to the door.
"Su Ling!" Tang Ya suddenly said.
"Huh?"
"Are you... coming back tonight?" Her eyes were a little wandering, but there was a hint of expectation in her tone.
Su Ling looked at her, raising the corners of his mouth slightly,
"If you come back early, I will come to accompany you."
Hearing this, Tang Ya raised the corner of his mouth slightly, but then quickly made a stern face, "Who, who wants you to accompany me! You will never love me back!"
Su Ling smiled, did not expose her duplicity, closed the door and strode away.
After leaving Dark Pavilion.
Su Ling stepped on the road made of unknown broken rocks and walked briskly towards Shrek City.
The morning light is just right and the breeze is not dry.
As he walked, he was thinking to himself.
Today's main purpose is to find Zhang Lexuan. While completing the strategy mission, I will also discuss with her the specific departure time of Soul Hunting.
Princess Vina will visit in two days. There is no need to worry about this cooperation, because it has been finalized from the moment she comes in person.
This time Soul Hunting and Zhang Lexuan face Silvermoon Azure Wolf. Even if the opponent is seriously injured and has not recovered, it is still Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Not to be underestimated, the challenge is very high!
The freshmen assessment also started today, and everything is progressing steadily and step by step.
Su Ling turned around and stepped into the Shrek City door.
A figure suddenly jumped out of the side alley and blocked his way.
Su Ling paused in his steps and stared slightly.
The person's clothes were a little disheveled and his hair was messy.
His eye sockets were sunken, a layer of green stubble appeared on his chin, and his whole person exuded an aura of decadence.
It is Bei Bei.
"Su Ling." Bei Bei's voice was hoarse. He raised his head and stared at Su Ling with his bloodshot eyes.
"I have something to tell you."
Su Ling stopped and looked at him calmly. That high-spirited 'brother Grandmaster' now exuded an aura of decadence.
"Say it." Su Ling said calmly.
Bei Bei clenched his fists, his eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse and suppressed, "Give Tang Ya back to me... Give her back to me, and I can pretend that nothing happened."
Su Ling heard this and did not respond to him, but looked at him quietly, "Do you think it's possible?"
"How is it impossible!" Bei Bei suddenly raised his voice, causing the passers-by to look sideways.
"I met her before you did! How old are you?"
"Why do you?"
Facing Bei Bei's questioning, Su Ling's expression remained unchanged, her eyes looked at him calmly, and her tone was unhurried.
"Bei Bei, why are you asking me? Then let me ask you, is Tang Ya happy when she is with you?"
Bei Bei was stunned when he heard this and stopped talking.
"When she was with you, Tang Sect existed in name only and had no hope of revitalization. She was carrying the burden of the entire sect alone. Did you give her any substantial help?"
Su Ling's voice is not loud, but the words are clear.
"Where were you when she needed help? She dreamed of getting revenge on the Ironblood Sect. What did you do? Don't tell me you don't know."
"I..." Bei Bei opened his mouth, his voice stuck in his throat, and his face turned red.
"You don't know, because you didn't care at all. You only cared that she should belong to you, but you never really cared about what she wanted."
After the words fell, Bei Bei turned pale, staggered back half a step, and could not refute a word.
Su Ling looked at his appearance and did not continue to stimulate him, but slowed down his tone and said, "Senior Bei Bei, there are some things that cannot be forced."
"You are not weak in talent. Instead of trapping yourself in the past, it is better to look forward and practice hard. The future will be bright, so why should you fall in love with a flower unrequitedly?"
Bei Bei lowered his head and remained silent.
Seeing this, Su Ling shook his head and started to walk away.
"Stop!" Bei Bei suddenly raised his head, stared at Su Ling, and reached out to grab his shoulder.
Su Ling's body was slightly sideways and he easily avoided it. At the same time, he buckled with his backhand and accurately held Bei Bei's wrist.
The force was not strong, but it made Bei Bei unable to move.
"How could I not be sincere! You made everything up! It must be because of your sweet words! You bewitched her!"
Bei Bei roared, almost losing control of his emotions.
Seeing this situation, Su Ling sighed secretly, and his calm eyes gradually condensed.
"I have never mentioned you in front of her. Also, Tang Ya is a person, not an object. She has the right to choose."
"I was honest with her. It was never me who bewitched her, but you who threw her away with your own hands."
"Bei Bei, I also give you one last piece of advice."
Su Ling leaned close to his ear, his voice was low, with a hint of cold warning, "Xiao Ya is very happy now, very happy. I don't want you to disturb it, otherwise..."
He released his hand and patted Bei Bei lightly on the shoulder, as if flicking off a speck of dust, "You bear the consequences."
After saying that, he strode away without looking back.
Bei Bei froze in place, looking at Su Ling's retreating back, clenching his fists and digging his nails deeply into his palms.
His eyes swung violently between anger and despair, and finally settled into a kind of extremely gloomy resentment.
"...Su Ling, you forced me to do this."
He murmured in a low voice, turned around and disappeared into the shadows of the alley.
