After Feng Xiaotian saw Ye Qingcang finish speaking with Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Hu Liena, he took the initiative to approach. He extended his hand, his attitude far more humble than before. Even though Huo Wu was looking at Ye Qingcang with admiration, he felt no jealousy. "I'll remember this kindness for the rest of my life. If you ever need anything, I'll brave death itself without hesitation!"
"Me too." Huo Wu squeezed her way over and withdrew her martial soul, though her shoulder-length hair could not be retracted. Noticing Ye Qingcang's gaze lingering on her hair, she awkwardly brushed it aside. "Let's properly introduce ourselves again. I'm Huo Wu from Blazing Fire Academy. My name differs from that Xiao Wu's by just one character, though my brother often calls me Little Wu too. I want to be your friend as well!"
Shui Yue'er was eager to give it a try.
She wanted to go over too.
But after looking at Feng Xiaotian, then Huo Wu, and finally Shui Bing'er, she immediately lost her nerve.
Who were the people associating with Ye Qingcang?
They were all the leading figures of their respective academies!
Even Huo Wushuang ranked behind Huo Wu. If she wanted to befriend Ye Qingcang, then on Tianshui Academy's side, she had to rank behind Shui Bing'er as well.
That was the most basic matter of status and seniority.
"Shui Bing'er."
Unlike Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er's introduction was very concise.
And she made no promises.
Yet her steadfast gaze made it clear that she had merely remembered this kindness in her heart. Not every kindness needed to be spoken aloud to count.
"You're all too polite." Ye Qingcang raised his hand and shook hands with Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, and Shui Bing'er in turn.
