Why Does Everyone Want to Compete with Her for Him?!

"Nannan?"

Bai Luo waved a hand in front of the dazed Jiang Nannan.

"Ah."

Snapping back to her senses, Jiang Nannan pushed those thoughts from her mind.

"What's wrong?"

"Are you feeling unwell?"

Bai Luo asked with concern.

Though Jiang Nannan did not appear to have any major problems on the surface.

Many illnesses could not be judged by appearances alone.

For some conditions, even Bai Luo needed to conduct a detailed examination with soul power before reaching a conclusion.

"I'm fine. I just suddenly remembered something and got lost in thought for a moment."

Jiang Nannan explained, her little face flushed red.

She could hardly tell Bai Luo that she had been thinking about how to win him over before Ma Xiaotao did, could she?

Although she had decided to be more proactive.

Being that direct was clearly still difficult for Jiang Nannan, given her current personality.

"Wasn't Xiaoluo going to look around the academy? Let's go."

Jiang Nannan changed the subject.

As she spoke, she quietly considered ways to deepen their relationship later.

She had heard from the senior girls in the Outer Academy that taking walks was a common way for men and women to grow closer.

Seeing that Jiang Nannan did not seem to be acting unusually, Bai Luo did not ask further.

He nodded and left with her at his side.

Upstairs in the girls' dormitory.

Tang Ya stood at the windowsill, watching everything unfold below.

A knowing smile rested on her face.

From Jiang Nannan's innocent, lovestruck expression whenever she mentioned Bai Luo, Tang Ya had long known how Jiang Nannan felt about him.

As Jiang Nannan's best friend, she truly hoped Jiang Nannan would find happiness.

"Nannan has such good taste."

Tang Ya recalled Bai Luo's flawless, perfect face.

Even allowing for her personal bias, she had to admit it.

Even Bei Bei, one of the Outer Academy's renowned male idols, fell far short of him in appearance.

The countless gazes Bai Luo had drawn while standing outside the dormitory building made that obvious enough.

"Right, Bei Bei seemed to say that little Yuhao would be selling grilled fish outside the academy gates today."

Tang Ya remembered the taste of the grilled fish she had tried when she met Huo Yuhao in the Star Dou Great Forest.

That was a major reason why she had wanted to recruit Huo Yuhao into the Tang Sect.

It was just a pity that, for some reason, Huo Yuhao seemed utterly uninterested in their Tang Sect.

Tang Ya sighed.

Sure enough, their Tang Sect had truly declined.

But in truth, Huo Yuhao's lack of interest in the Tang Sect was not because of that.

It was simply because Bai Luo had never spoken well of the Tang Sect.

As Bai Luo's fervent little fan, Huo Yuhao naturally did not think much of the Tang Sect either.

He needed no additional reason.

If Brother Bai did not have a high opinion of the Tang Sect, then he surely had his reasons.

As for what those reasons were?

Did that matter?

To Huo Yuhao, it did not matter in the slightest.

He only knew one thing.

The direction pointed to by the Medicine King Wheat Ear was the direction of light!

Everything he had now had been given to him by Bai Luo!

Even his ability to enter Shrek Academy without relying on any special means was because Bai Luo had treated the physical deficiencies caused by his early experiences.

Still, even though Tang Ya had failed to recruit him.

It did not stop them from being friends.

After all, Tang Ya was not the sort of person who would insist on becoming enemies with someone just because she had failed to recruit them.

She could understand it too.

After all, the Tang Sect was called a sect now.

But in reality, it was just her and Bei Bei.

In many people's eyes, they were probably just amusing themselves.

It was perfectly normal not to want to join.

Besides...

Little Yuhao's grilled fish was really delicious!

Tang Ya ran her tongue over her red lips.

The craving in her heart was stirred up once more.

"Mm, I'll call Bei Bei and we'll go support little Yuhao's business!"

Tang Ya had already made up her mind.

This was not because she was craving it.

She was supporting a junior student!

That was right, exactly!

Jiang Nannan took Bai Luo on a tour around the Outer Academy.

She was as thorough as the finest tour guide.

A faint smile hung on her little face.

She was in an exceptionally good mood.

Walking side by side with Bai Luo through the Outer Academy gave Jiang Nannan the sudden feeling that they were a boyfriend and girlfriend on a campus date.

However, something slightly unpleasant happened along the way.

Bai Luo's face triggered its passive effect again.

After making a circuit around the Outer Academy.

At least twenty young girls had come up to strike up conversations with him.

And that was with her standing right beside him!

When strangers saw them, they should have assumed she was Bai Luo's girlfriend and backed off, shouldn't they?

Yet even so, so many girls had come over to approach him.

If she had not been there, Jiang Nannan did not dare imagine how terrifying the scale of it would have been!

This made her keenly realize just how many people had their eyes on Bai Luo, this tempting prize, wanting nothing more than to swallow him in one bite.

Jiang Nannan was starting to regret it.

The way those girls looked at Bai Luo made her feel very uncomfortable.

It was as though something that belonged to her was being coveted by others.

Why did every one of them want to compete with her for Xiaoluo?!

Jiang Nannan stomped her foot. Her determination to speed up her pursuit and get Bai Luo for herself as soon as possible grew even firmer.

Afterward, her body would intentionally or unintentionally drift closer to Bai Luo.

Bai Luo himself did not mind.

Nor did he find anything strange about it.

After all, it was not as though Jiang Nannan had only started relying on him recently.

He merely thought it was another sign of her dependence on him.

At the entrance to the Outer Academy.

Huo Yuhao had already set up his grilled fish stall.

There were no elaborate decorations.

Only the simplest grilling equipment and a sign standing beside it.

Yet the scent of grilled fish drifting through the air still drew many people into line.

A fairly long queue had already formed before the little stall.

Huo Yuhao was busy as could be.

At this time, Bai Luo and Jiang Nannan had finished touring the Outer Academy and arrived at its entrance as well.

They also noticed the long line.

"Hm?"

"Why is Huo Yuhao selling grilled fish here?"

Jiang Nannan spotted Huo Yuhao, who was bustling about at the stall.

Huo Yuhao's mother, Huo Yun'er, worked as an assistant at Bai Luo's clinic.

Whenever Jiang Nannan had time, she would visit Bai Luo at the clinic.

So she naturally knew Huo Yuhao.

She also knew that he usually sold grilled fish to help support the household.

But she had not expected Huo Yuhao to set up right outside Shrek Academy today.

"He enrolled today. He should count as your junior now."

Bai Luo gave a brief explanation.

"Let's go."

"It's been a while since we've tasted Yuhao's cooking."

"Mm."

Jiang Nannan nodded slightly.

She thought quite highly of Huo Yuhao's grilled fish.

The two were just walking forward.

When a golden streak suddenly shot through the air.

With a bang, a gold soul coin embedded itself in Huo Yuhao's stall.

Immediately afterward.

An arrogant voice rang out:

"Kid, I'm buying all the grilled fish you have here."
