Leng Yaozhu Arrives

Seeing the longing in Long Hengxu's eyes, Li Moxun's expression turned slightly strange, though his face remained unchanged.

The group took a bus and soon arrived at Soul Island's high-speed rail station.

However, they did not leave immediately, because besides the lower-grade students, there were also upper-grade students joining them this time.

As the group arrived, several people following behind Wu Zhangkong had barely entered when they spotted the man with the ice staff standing there.

The ice-staff man looked calm, though his complexion was indeed rather unpleasant. He swept his gaze around but did not find any trace of Mu Xi.

"Brother, why are you here? Are you competing this time too?"

Xu Xiaoyan looked at Xu Xiaoyu, her eyes filled with undisguised disdain.

Seeing the look from his little sister, Xu Xiaoyu rolled his eyes as well, his face full of helplessness.

"I was originally going to compete in the team event, but someone couldn't make it. Sigh, so your big brother can only enter the individual event now."

"Let's go together. The school booked the train as a group. Good thing it's first class—if it were second class, I really wouldn't be used to sitting by the window."

As Xu Xiaoyu spoke, he glanced at Long Hengxu.

Although Long Hengxu was only the first-year director, he was the one organizing this trip to the Skysea Tournament, so Xu Xiaoyu still greeted him.

While the others chatted or stood together whispering among themselves, Li Moxun simply stood quietly in place. With a flick of his hand, two pills appeared in his palm, and he silently slipped them into his mouth.

Once the group had finished checking in, they quickly entered the carriage.

The seats were not especially luxurious, but they were still first class, with two people seated together.

However, this soul-guided train was clearly far from full.

As several people took their seats, Li Moxun chose one toward the back and dropped straight into it.

On the other side, Xie Xie had just sat down beside Xu Xiaoyan when Xu Xiaoyu came over and gestured at him.

Seeing Xie Xie's somewhat bewildered expression, Xu Xiaoyu raised his hand and gave him a punch on the head.

Xie Xie stood up with a miserable expression.

Li Moxun looked over curiously, only to see Gu Yue walking straight toward him without pausing.

Li Moxun raised a brow as he watched Gu Yue approach.

But not long after Gu Yue sat down, a tall, graceful woman strode over.

Gu Yue's eyes filled with obvious surprise when she saw the woman, as though she could not understand why she had come here.

Before she could speak, however, the woman tilted her head slightly at her. Gu Yue had yet to react when she, too, received a punch on the head.

Everyone was somewhat startled to see Gu Yue suddenly get punched.

After all, Gu Yue was practically the boss of the class. Quite a few people turned their attention to the woman, wanting to see just who she was to dare punch Gu Yue so directly.

Yet Li Moxun's expression also became somewhat complicated in that instant.

His calm gaze rested on the breathtaking red-haired woman before him.

Gu Yue rose to her feet with an unhappy look, but under the woman's threatening gaze, she still silently moved to a seat in the row ahead. The woman then sat down beside Li Moxun.

From beginning to end, she did not look at Li Moxun even once, nor did she make any acknowledgment toward him.

Yet the pressure radiating from beneath that icy expression alone made Li Moxun frown slightly.

Because she was none other than Leng Yaozhu, a level-98 Super Douluo.

For her to sit beside him for no reason at all—Li Moxun himself would not believe there was nothing suspicious about that.

His eyes flickered slightly, though his face showed only surprise as he looked at the beautiful woman.

"Big Sister, that was my classmate's seat. It's not very nice for you to take it like this, is it? If you want to sit here, how about you move aside? I can leave too, and let you sit by yourself."

Li Moxun spoke gently. His beautiful red eyes blinked as he looked at the woman with an innocent expression.

But faced with the boy's gaze, the woman's expression did not change in the slightest.

She neither gave up her seat nor stood up. She did not even glance at Li Moxun, merely saying calmly, "No need. I simply wanted to sit here. You can keep sitting here as well. Don't you want to sit with me?"

Even as the woman said this, her expression remained unchanged. Yet a trace of coldness had already flashed through Li Moxun's eyes.

Li Moxun had already determined the purpose of her visit. She had most likely come to test him.

But Li Moxun did not understand how she had discovered him. Before any of his clones left his side, they had all behaved with extreme caution.

With their extraordinarily powerful senses, cameras could not possibly capture them, much less determine where they had emerged from.

Thus, Li Moxun could not make sense of the situation, nor could he understand how she had found out.

Yet the expression on Li Moxun's face did not change at all. He merely gave a soft "Oh" and said nothing more.

After all, Leng Yaozhu did not look like an ordinary person at first glance.

So even a normal person—even a child—would not say anything to refuse such a stunning beauty.

At that moment, Wu Zhangkong in the row ahead turned back slightly. His gaze fell upon the woman, and his brows furrowed faintly, but he did not recognize who she was.

Seeing that Li Moxun said nothing, and judging by Gu Yue's expression, he guessed that the woman knew either Gu Yue or Li Moxun, so he kept quiet.

As the soul-guided train began moving, the woman reached out and patted Gu Yue on the shoulder.

"Little Gu Yue, move to the seat in front. Don't sit here. I have something to discuss with this classmate of yours."

Leng Yaozhu's voice was calm, but the authority in her tone was impossible to conceal.

Hearing Leng Yaozhu's words, Gu Yue stood up. Though the girl's expression remained calm, a hint of worry appeared in her eyes.

But she also knew there was nothing she could say, so she calmly moved two steps forward.

Only after Gu Yue had taken the seat in front did the woman wipe down the table and chairs on this side, as well as the armrests on both sides, before casually tossing the wet wipe aside.

She tilted her head slightly and looked calmly at Li Moxun.

"I heard that you have Twin Martial Souls, and that one of them possesses the Ultimate Ice attribute. Could you show me your Martial Soul? I'm very curious about that."

Leng Yaozhu spoke calmly, but as her gaze pressed down on him, her eyes carried an unmistakable sense of looking down from on high.

Feeling the woman's gaze, the gentle, innocent expression on Li Moxun's face vanished almost instantly.

His expression turned equally cold.

He did not even avoid the woman's eyes.

Their gazes met, yet Li Moxun's expression did not change in the slightest.

However, he was already considering how to resolve this problem.

Being singled out by Leng Yaozhu so suddenly meant he had landed himself in serious trouble. Or rather, something must have gone wrong—he must have overlooked something somewhere, or Leng Yaozhu would never have fixed her attention on him.

Yet she had not seized him directly or attacked him outright. Clearly, she had no evidence. This visit was most likely just a probe.
