I Regret It, Xiao Wu!

Boss Xiao's expression changed when he saw who had arrived.

However, he did not show much else.

In the end, he merely glared fiercely at Ma Hongjun and Xiao Wu.

They both understood the meaning in his gaze.

Just you wait.

Xiao Wu glared right back at him.

As for Ma Hongjun, he did not even spare the so-called Boss Xiao a glance.

Just a passing character.

A cold gleam flashed through Boss Xiao's eyes.

But with a teacher present, he clearly could not make a move. He immediately turned and left with his two lackeys.

The middle-aged man who had spoken earlier was not surprised by this.

After all, he knew Boss Xiao's identity.

He could not be bothered to concern himself with conflicts between students.

They were just a bunch of brats.

Afterward, he merely glanced at Ma Hongjun and the others before turning and heading up to the second floor.

"Sooner or later, I'm going to beat him up. What's he acting so smug for?" Xiao Wu said, puffing out her cheeks.

Ma Hongjun found Xiao Wu especially adorable at that moment.

So he said directly, "Fine, fine, we'll beat him up."

He even reached out and touched Xiao Wu's rabbit ear.

Xiao Wu immediately shuddered.

She looked at Ma Hongjun with great dissatisfaction.

But her urge to resist was clearly not as strong as before.

Ma Hongjun sensed the change and felt a flash of delight in his heart.

As long as she did not hate it.

Just then.

Wang Sheng interjected, "Um, Boss, should I go to the second floor or the first floor?"

Ma Hongjun was somewhat speechless.

Did he doubt his strength that much?

Just then, Xiao Wu spoke.

"Of course, the second floor."

At that moment, she was thinking of eating Ma Hongjun bankrupt.

"Of course we're going to the second floor," Ma Hongjun said indifferently.

Hearing Ma Hongjun say that, Wang Sheng said nothing more.

He had figured it out. Ma Hongjun might actually be rich, so there was no need to be polite with him.

And so, the disturbance in the cafeteria passed.

Ma Hongjun's first appearance also left a good impression on everyone.

Of course, Xiao Wu might not have felt the same way.

But Ma Hongjun thought this was just right.

He was not Tang San, so naturally he knew how to draw a girl's attention.

In truth, Xiao Wu had probably truly fallen for Tang San when she followed him back to Holy Soul Village.

Tang San had inadvertently sworn to protect Xiao Wu.

That was what had won Xiao Wu's heart.

Thinking of this, Ma Hongjun looked at Xiao Wu, whose hand he was still holding.

His heart was filled with delight.

Xiao Wu also noticed Ma Hongjun's gaze.

"What are you looking at me for?" Xiao Wu asked.

Ma Hongjun leaned close to Xiao Wu's ear and whispered, "Because you're very pretty. I can't seem to get enough of looking at you."

The warm breath from Ma Hongjun's mouth, coupled with his words,

made Xiao Wu blush once more.

"You hooligan," Xiao Wu said.

But when she heard Ma Hongjun say that she was pretty,

a trace of happiness rose in Xiao Wu's heart.

There was no helping it. What girl did not like hearing others say she was beautiful?

The little fatty before her was quite slick.

Yet Xiao Wu did not seem to dislike him that much.

When Ma Hongjun saw this scene,

he was also delighted.

He decided to press his advantage.

"Um, Xiao Wu, I regret something," Ma Hongjun said.

Xiao Wu looked at Ma Hongjun curiously upon hearing that.

"What do you regret?" Xiao Wu asked.

"I regret saying we were tied just now. If I hadn't, you'd be my girlfriend now. How about it—why don't you really become my girlfriend?" Ma Hongjun said.

The moment Ma Hongjun said this,

Xiao Wu gave him an annoyed look.

Then she said, "Keep dreaming."

"I've actually already dreamed about it. You were all over my dreams," Ma Hongjun said again.

Xiao Wu could not quite bear Ma Hongjun's shamelessness.

So she put on a stern face.

"If you keep saying things like that, I'll really get angry," Xiao Wu said.

Seeing this, Ma Hongjun stopped teasing her.

This little rabbit was still rather reserved.

But as before, it was enough that she was not angry.

Ma Hongjun knew when to stop.

Seeing that Ma Hongjun did not continue pestering her over the matter,

Xiao Wu also let out a sigh of relief inwardly.

Human society is so complicated.

But when she thought of what the person before her had just said,

her heart still skipped a beat.

"Um, can you let go of me? We need to eat," Xiao Wu finally could not help saying when she saw that the little fatty was still holding her hand.

"Look at me, I forgot! Sorry, it's just that holding your hand feels too nice," Ma Hongjun casually teased.

Xiao Wu could not quite handle Ma Hongjun's enthusiasm.

After they finished eating,

because this was a junior soul master academy,

everyone had a period of rest.

Back in the dormitory, Xiao Wu sat down on her bed.

When Ma Hongjun saw this,

he merely asked Xiao Wu curiously, "Xiao Wu, why is your bed pushed together with everyone else's? And why are you sharing a blanket? Is that your sister? Why isn't she here?"

Xiao Wu's body suddenly stiffened.

For some reason, she suddenly did not want the little fatty before her to know that the blanket belonged to a boy.

Just as she was thinking about how to answer,

Wang Sheng beside her said, "That's because Sister Xiao Wu doesn't have a blanket, so she shares one with someone else. That person is called Tang San, and he's also an expert."

"Tang San is an expert? Is he male or female?" Ma Hongjun suddenly asked.

Wang Sheng glanced at Ma Hongjun, then at Xiao Wu.

Then he said, "Boss, Tang San is a boy. His martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, and Grandmaster took him as a disciple."

For some reason, when Xiao Wu heard Wang Sheng directly state that Tang San was male,

she suddenly felt somewhat embarrassed.

She even seemed afraid to look at Ma Hongjun.

Even Xiao Wu herself was startled by these feelings.

The next moment, Ma Hongjun's voice rang out, but it was somewhat cold. "A boy? I understand. Looks like I misplaced my feelings."

After saying that, Ma Hongjun immediately released Xiao Wu's hand.

He walked straight toward his own bed.

Wang Sheng seemed to realize his mistake and immediately left.

At the same time, he signaled for the others in the dormitory to leave as well.

Ma Hongjun caught sight of this from the corner of his eye.

He was instantly extremely satisfied. This Wang Sheng was not bad—he was a clever one.

But Wang Sheng was thinking, Boss, this is all I can do for you. The rest is up to you.

As a child from a poor family, and formerly the boss of the dormitory,

he was naturally quite good at reading people.

He had understood Ma Hongjun's intentions from the start.

And now, he had offered his assistance.

As for whether it would work? That was up to the boss himself.

Even if it did not work, he imagined the benefits he received afterward would not be few.

As for Tang San, he could go cool his heels!

Who was he trying to fool with that act?

He had kindly warned Tang San that Grandmaster was not so great, only to be treated like that.

Even if he had failed to recognize a great person, Tang San could have explained it!

Instead, he acted as though Wang Sheng simply did not understand.

It was like throwing kindness to the dogs!
