Offline Meetup (3)

Jiang Nannan's whereabouts are no secret.

Good-looking people attract attention wherever they go.

As the undisputed number one beauty and number one powerhouse in the Outer Court Outer Court, Jiang Nannan is someone who easily attracts attention. Some people try their best but can't create as much of a stir as her every move. The news that Jiang Nannan was walking with Tang Ya, especially since she had changed into a dress, quickly spread throughout the Outer Court.

Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya can be said to be the top-tier beauty duo in the Outer Court.

Unlike Tang Ya, with whom she seemed to have a confirmed relationship.

Jiang Nannan has always been single.

Who else would make her make an exception and wear a dress?

Many people are paying attention to this matter.

This also shows that the students of the Shrek Academy are really idle, extremely idle, so idle that they would rather focus their attention on other people's gossip than on their own Soul Power Level.

However, no matter how fast gossip spreads, it's always one step behind Jiang Nannan.

It's usually after Jiang Nannan walks away that all sorts of gossip begins to emerge.

So, while gossip was flying everywhere, Jiang Nannan had already brought Tang Ya to the school gate. Ignoring the ambiguous looks, she fiddled with the Jade Seal Machine and, following the prompts in the chat interface, quickly found Ye Qingcang in the crowd with Tang Ya.

The main reason is that Ye Qingcang is too handsome.

Standing out from the crowd, he was like a crane among chickens.

After the magnetic field was optimized, he became even more like a god or a demon, his every move incredibly smooth, seemingly in harmony with heaven and earth, just like an apple falling to the ground when it ripens, many leaves turning golden in autumn, or fish living in water not suffocating. There is no reason why; the moment you see this person, you will find him very pleasing to the eye. As for why he is pleasing to the eye, or what makes him pleasing to the eye, Tang Ya, who followed Jiang Nannan to Ye Qingcang, really couldn't find a suitable adjective.

"Eagle Mister?" Jiang Nannan's immunity was far superior to Tang Ya's. She only lost her focus for about a second before controlling her fantasy. She tugged at Tang Ya's sleeve to bring her embarrassing best friend back to reality. She shook the Jade Seal Machine in her hand and said the password they had agreed on in the chat interface, "Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger?"

"The pagoda suppresses the river demon..." Ye Qingcang used the proper command with a rather wicked sense of humor, without making any changes. He ignored the murderous glares from many male students of the Shrek Academy around him, raised his hand, and shook hands with Jiang Nannan's outstretched hand. His smile was natural, "Hello, Miss Rabbit; let me introduce myself first. My name is Ye Qingcang. Ye is the Ye of leaf, and Qingcang... is the Qingcang from Jiang Chengzi: Out hunting in Mizhou."

"Leading a yellow dog on the left, holding a falcon on the right; wearing brocade hats and sable coats, a thousand horsemen sweep across the plains..." Jiang Nannan had read this poem before, and it was one of the many cultural lessons she had learned from Ye Qingcang. Seeing Ye Qingcang release his hand with great restraint, neither out of sincerity nor excessive greed, her goodwill towards him grew even stronger.

My name is Jiang Nannan.

"Jiang refers to rivers, and Nan refers to camphor trees."

"The woman next to me is my best friend, Tang Ya."

"I heard I'm coming to pick you up, and I'm very curious."

"I heard she just took on a new apprentice who has excellent grilled fish skills. I thought you might like her, so I decided to bring her to meet you and also introduce you to my friends."

"Eagle Mister, you wouldn't refuse to give me this opportunity, would you?"

Since Jiang Nannan had put it this way, Ye Qingcang naturally couldn't refuse Jiang Nannan offer. "Then I shall respectfully accept your invitation?"

As he said this, Ye Qingcang did not forget Tang Ya.

He raised his hand in a businesslike manner.

He offered a more concise and polite greeting. "Hello, Tang Ya."

"Hello..." Tang Ya subconsciously extended her hand, but quickly realized that she didn't know the correct way to address Ye Qingcang. Should she call him by his name directly, or add some suffix to it? She could only bite the bullet and guess at a random name. "Ye Qingcang... classmate?"

Without a sound, Tang Ya felt the bones.

They wanted to determine Ye Qingcang's age.

However, Ye Qingcang, who had cultivated the Stellar Martial Arts, had a perfectly smooth and flawless body, so Tang Ya's bone-reading technique yielded no results.

He could only reluctantly withdraw his hand.

He nodded politely.

Then, tacitly taking on the role of the third wheel, and looking at Jiang Nannan and Ye Qingcang, who also seemed to have the same understanding, he took the initiative to start a conversation. "Last night, Nan Nan really gave me a hard time. She heard that your friend was coming, and spent more than half an hour picking out an outfit. In the end, I made the final decision on the outfit she's wearing now... Give me your opinion, do you think it looks good?"

"Of course it looks good..." Ye Qingcang said as he walked with Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya, "When you're good-looking, you look good in anything..."

Jiang Nannan's gaze gradually fell to her feet.

His lips curled up, but he still forced a smile.

No one dislikes being praised, and she's no exception.

Being praised so frankly by Ye Qingcang, whom she had just met, made her feel as sweet as if she had eaten honey. Although she had been struggling with anxiety and uncertainty last night, it seemed that her efforts had not been in vain.

"The End..." Tang Ya rubbed her forehead.

She knew everything just by looking at Jiang Nannan's expression.

She has known Jiang Nannan for four years.

This was the first time I had ever seen Jiang Nannan look shy.

Jiang Nannan has always had two faces.

One is gentleness, a gentleness that treats everyone equally.

One aspect is indifference, indifference directed at the individual.

When facing everyone, Jiang Nannan always speaks softly and gently. Whether it's friends or strangers, Jiang Nannan's attitude is always friendly. Only when facing a few people with ulterior motives, such as Xu Sanshi, will she take a cold attitude and dissuade them.

Now, a third face has emerged.

Nan Nan, it's one thing to lie to others, but you wouldn't lie to your best friend like me, would you? If you don't dare to speak with your conscience, I can help you do so. Say it again: You treat him as a friend, not a boyfriend.

However, despite her surprise, Tang Ya was not about to give up on testing the waters because of a small surprise.

We walked to the dormitory building for the new students.

Not far away, he waved to Huo Yuhao, who was already waiting there, then turned his attention to her, asking sarcastically, "From what you're saying, Nan Nan is beautiful and looks good in anything, so I didn't do anything?"

"Of course not!" Ye Qingcang immediately flattered Tang Ya, "They say clothes make the man, and a good outfit can make someone stand out and enhance their appearance. Speaking of which, the fact that I can see such a beautiful Jiang Nannan is partly due to your efforts!"

As they spoke, Ye Qingcang followed Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya to Huo Yuhao's stall, where Tang Ya began to introduce the scene:

"This is my little apprentice, Huo Yuhao!"

"This year's freshmen!"

"Trust me, his grilled fish is delicious!"

"It's the best food I've ever eaten!"

Tang Ya didn't know Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, who had come to help, as they might also be there to freeload. So, she skipped the formalities and passed the responsibility of introducing Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao to Huo Yuhao, while she herself introduced Jiang Nannan and Ye Qingcang to Huo Yuhao.

"Come on, Yuhao, let's get acquainted."

"This is my roommate and best friend, Jiang Nannan."

"Your sister Nan Nan is a top genius who combines beauty and strength. She is known as the number one beauty in the Outer Court and is also recognized as the number one strong person in the Outer Court. Let me tell you a secret about your Grandmaster's dark history: your Grandmaster once fought with your sister Nan Nan Nan was kicked out of the Soul Arena by her in twenty moves. Even now, he has not dared to challenge her again."

"This is your sister Nan Nan's friend, Ye Qingcang."

"In Nan Nan's words, the two of them have been friends for over ten years. I've only known Nan Nan for a little over four years, so I don't know her very well and can't tell you much more."

"By the way, who are these two people behind you...?"

"Greetings, Sister Nan Nan, greetings, Brother Qing Cang..." Huo Yuhao seemed to have gotten used to Tang Ya's incessant chatter. After Tang Ya finished speaking, he politely greeted her and then introduced her, "This is my roommate and my deskmate, Wang Dong; the other is Xiao Xiao, who is my and Wang Dong's classmate..."

While Huo Yuhao was talking outside, things were already in an uproar in his Spiritual Space!

"Silly boy, what's your name, Brother Qingcang?"

"Do you even know who this Ye Qingcang is? How dare you try to establish such a connection?"

"And your teacher, Xiao Ya!"

"Disrespectful!"

"Extremely disrespectful!"

"Look at that mark in the middle of his forehead!"

"Haven't you thought of anything yet?"

The Sky Dream Ice Worm let out a piercing scream, giving Huo Yuhao a headache. Obeying his Brother Tianmeng's words, he shifted his gaze to Ye Qingcang's forehead, looking at it from left to right, but couldn't see anything wrong. It wasn't until the Sky Dream Ice Worm revealed the answer that his eyes widened and his pupils contracted, "Yuhao, you really should read more books. A God Trial Taker is standing right in front of you, and you don't even recognize him..."

The God Trial Taker?

The God Trial Taker!

Like the original Shrek God Trial Taker!

Huo Yuhao was breathing rapidly and his face was flushed, leaving Tang Ya, Xiao Xiao, and Jiang Nannan, who were still unaware of the situation, completely confused. Only Wang Dong glanced at Huo Yuhao with suspicion, then turned his gaze back to Ye Qingcang, mainly focusing on the mark in the middle of Ye Qingcang's forehead.

If she remembers correctly.

Her father also has such a mark.

Almost identical, also red vertical swords.

Could it be that her father wanted to retire and passed down one of the divine positions, and just happened to choose Ye Qingcang as the God Trial Taker?

Wang Dong pondered silently.

But before she could finish thinking, she met Ye Qingcang's eyes.

"This year's freshmen are truly a hidden force!" Ye Qingcang patted the absent-minded Huo Yuhao, and with one sentence, he accurately struck at the heart of Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao: "One Twin Spirits, one is a descendant of Deity, and another's Soul Ring Configuration is even better than mine..."

The box Xiao Xiao was holding fell to the ground with a "bang".

Wang Dong's eye twitched slightly.

Huo Yuhao's hands were trembling uncontrollably.

One ring lasts for a million years.

That last sentence was undoubtedly a direct challenge to him.

But who are those two sentences referring to?

Twin Spirits?

Look at Wang Dong, then look at Xiao Xiao.

Descendants of Deity?

Look at Xiao Xiao, then look at Wang Dong.

Huo Yuhao suddenly felt like a fool.

Being kept in the dark, seemingly knowing everything, but actually knowing nothing.

Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan were also shocked by these words.

Jiang Nannan has a pretty good mental fortitude.

Having cultivated the first four chapters of Stellar Martial Arts, her Soul Ring Configuration was also quite impressive: one ring lasted a thousand years, two rings lasted seven thousand years, three rings lasted fifteen thousand years, and four rings lasted twenty-seven thousand years. Even the students of the Inner Court could not compare to her.

It's just a pair of Twin Spirits, isn't it?

Isn't he just a descendant of Deity?

It's just that the age and configuration of the Soul Ring are a bit high, right?

It's nothing special.

However, for Tang Ya, who knew nothing about this, Ye Qingcang's assessment was earth-shattering, igniting her gossipy nature. "Tell me about it, there are no outsiders here, just friends..."

"Still not." Ye Qingcang shook his head, looked at the young man walking over from a short distance away, and explained, "Since the three of them chose to hide it, there must be a reason to hide it. I just expressed exclamation and emotion that the origin of a new era is right in front of me. I have no other meaning... Let's respect their privacy!"

"Bei Bei's here?" Tang Ya waved cheerfully to the approaching young man, and magnanimously comforted Huo Yuhao: "It's alright Yuhao, everyone has secrets, don't take it to heart; no matter what, it's enough to prove my wise decision to recruit you into the Tang Sect, don't you think?"

Huo Yuhao pursed his lips.

My feelings are complicated.

"Yuhao, do you really want to tell the truth?" Sky Dream Ice Worm had already started to slack off. If it were anyone else, it would gamble on whether the other party was bluffing, but the person saying this was a God Trial Taker, so there was no point in hiding it. "Your teacher Xiao Ya may not be very bright, but she's not a bad person at heart. If you really want to be honest, I suggest you just identify yourself with her. There's no need to mention how many tens of thousands of years I've lived..."

"Brother Tianmeng..."

Huo Yuhao felt a pang of sadness.

It feels so good to be trusted.

However, before he could even speak, Wang Dong, who wasn't going to pretend, simply turned the tables. With a flick of her wrist, she summoned a small hammer. "Since we're friends, there's even less need to hide anything; to tell you the truth, I come from the Clear Sky Sect and have two Martial Soul!"

Tang Ya coughed forcefully.

Xiao Xiao choked on her own saliva.

She thought she was the one who was hiding the deepest secret.

I never expected Wang Dong to be even more secretive than I was.

The Clear Sky Sect's Twin Spirits Twin Spirits revealed, so there was no need for her to hide hers anymore. She spoke up, being a spirited young woman, holding a cauldron in one hand and a flute in the other. "I also have Twin Spirits. It seems that the 'descendant of the Deity' they were talking about must be Wang Dong. The Clear Sky Sect is the ancestral home of Lord Poseidon ... In that case, just how high is the class monitor's Soul Ring age? I always felt that her Ten-Year Soul Ring was a bit off; her Soul Skill was too overpowered!"

"I encountered a dying Soul Beast..." Huo Yuhao didn't spell it out clearly, but everyone understood what he meant. "The second Soul Skill it provided me was illusion; I'm sorry, Teacher Xiao Ya, and Grandmaster, I didn't mean to deceive you."

One Soul Ring can only produce one Soul Skill.

Only 100,000-Year Spirit Ring can generate a second Soul Skill.

"Sacrifice?" Tang Ya hesitated, then patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder, comforting him, "Don't worry, what's yours will be yours. Luck is also part of strength. We won't say anything... Focus on grilling the fish, try to win over your sister Nan Nan and your brother Qing Cang, and also, win over the rest of us!"

Tang Ya was just joking when she said that.

This kind of big secret can't be bought off with a few grilled fish.

It's just going with the flow!

"Then let's do as Tang Ya says..." Ye Qingcang continued Tang Ya's joke, making a promise that wasn't a joke in a joking tone, "If your grilled fish satisfies me, I'll not only keep it a secret, but I'll also teach you a couple of useful tips, how about it?"
