Me Against Him? Three-Seven, I'd Say

Upon hearing Hu Liena's question, Zhu Zhuqing sat down directly in front of Hu Liena, thought for a moment, and said, "I came with Jun Xuehan, and I am not a disciple of any family."

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena blinked a few times, her eyes filled with surprise, and said, "You came with your junior brother? How is that possible?"

"With his infuriatingly rude and ruthless way of speaking, how could he possibly find a wife? How could you possibly have come here with my junior brother?"

Hu Liena's words were full of disbelief.

She had lived with Jun Xuehan in the Pope's Palace for several years and knew Jun Xuehan very well.

Generally speaking, Jun Xuehan prefers to be alone and keeps her relationships with people to a minimum, so she found it somewhat unbelievable that Zhu Zhuqing said she came with Jun Xuehan.

"You might have misunderstood. My relationship with him isn't what you're describing. To be precise, we're not even friends," Zhu Zhuqing explained, somewhat speechless.

"Oh, I knew it! How could my junior brother possibly find a wife?" Hu Liena nodded slightly and said softly.

"I have a question. You are his senior sister. Between you and Jun Xuehan, who is stronger?" Zhu Zhuqing asked with some curiosity.

Hu Liena's expression was somewhat stiff as she looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said seriously, "If I fight him, the odds should be 30/70. He gets 30%, and I get 70%, otherwise how can I be his senior sister?"

Hu Liena's expression was very serious, and her words were extremely earnest. She only said it was a 30/70 chance, not that she could win. He made three moves, and she was bedridden for seven days; it was still a 30/70 chance, no problem.

"His Holiness the Pope's teachings are indeed powerful." Zhu Zhuqing nodded thoughtfully.

"Of course, my teacher's teaching ability is among the best in the entire continent." Hu Liena's voice was full of pride. She then said, "Wait here for me for a moment. I'll change my clothes and take you to the Spirit Academy to complete the enrollment procedures."

With that, Hu Liena walked straight back to her room.

After agreeing, Zhu Zhuqing quietly waited for Hu Liena to return.

About half an hour later, Hu Liena slowly walked back and took Zhu Zhuqing straight to the Spirit Academy to complete the enrollment procedures.

In the bustling streets of Spirit City, Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue walked together.

Qian Renxue held a string of Sugar-Coated Hawthorns in her hand, her eyes scanning the vendors and shops on both sides of the street, as if she were looking for something fun or interesting.

"Xue'er, we've been shopping for so long, did we just come here to buy a candied Sugar-Coated Hawthorns?" Jun Xuehan asked softly, holding Qian Renxue's hand.

"I'm just looking for something fun or interesting, aren't I?" Qian Renxue said casually, taking a bite of the Sugar-Coated Hawthorns in her hand.

"There are quite a few interesting places in Spirit City, but we don't seem to be interested in any of them," Jun Xuehan said with a smile.

Both Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue were very familiar with Spirit City, and there were many interesting places there, but there were not many that could truly interest them.

The two had been wandering around Spirit City for an hour or two, but all they ended up buying was a string of Sugar-Coated Hawthorns.

"It's precisely because they're scarce that we need to search for them. Otherwise, why would we be wandering around Spirit City?" Qian Renxue said matter-of-factly.

"Hmm... that makes sense." Jun Xuehan smiled, not paying any attention to it.

After all, they had nothing else to do, so taking a stroll around Spirit City to relax was a good idea.

Listening to the shouts of the vendors around them, Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue walked through the bustling streets, stopping to look around from time to time, and laughing and joking around from time to time, with happy smiles on their faces.

As the sun set, the sky gradually darkened.

On a hill Spirit City, Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue sat together, leaning on each other, feeling the slightly cool autumn breeze and watching the sunset on the horizon, both with faint smiles on their faces.

The autumn wind blew through their hair, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the clouds drifting in the blue sky red, as if it were adorning the clouds with sparkling lace, making them even more beautiful.

"I never realized before how beautiful the sunset was," Qian Renxue asked softly, leaning against Jun Xuehan.

"Beautiful? I think it's very ordinary, not even one ten-thousandth as beautiful as you, Xue'er." Jun Xuehan looked at Qian Renxue beside her and said very seriously.

"Don't give me that, I'm not falling for it." Qian Renxue said with a hint of arrogance, but a slight upturn of her lips showed that she was very happy.

Jun Xuehan smiled indifferently at her arrogant appearance, took out a piece of clothing from his Soul Tool, and draped it over Qian Renxue's shoulders.

"Xue'er, it's getting late, it's time for us to go back," Jun Xuehan said softly.

"Well, it's getting late, let's go back then." Qian Renxue looked at the clothes she was wearing, nodded gently, and got up with Jun Xuehan, heading towards Spirit City.

Jun Xuehan held Qian Renxue's hand, and as if he had thought of something, he asked as they walked, "Xue'er, I suddenly thought of a question."

"Now that we're back at the Spirit Hall, where should we stay?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue rolled her eyes. How could she not understand Jun Xuehan's little scheme? But understanding it didn't mean she would follow Jun Xuehan's lead.

"Of course I'm going back to the Worship Hall. Don't you have your own room in the Pope's Palace? Naturally, I'll go back to my own room. If you don't want to stay in the Worship Hall, I can arrange a room for you there. It's just a matter of a word." Qian Renxue smiled calmly, her voice unhurried.

"Go back to your own room?" Jun Xuehan blinked and murmured.

"Otherwise what? Where else would you like to stay?" Qian Renxue nodded gently, her voice full of composure.

"Ahem, Xue'er, is there anything broken in your room that I think I can fix for you?" Jun Xuehan cleared her throat and asked.

"No need. If it breaks, we'll just replace it with a new one. You don't need to come and fix it so late at night." Qian Renxue chuckled and looked at him with a smile in her eyes.

"Alright then." Jun Xuehan shrugged helplessly and agreed.

"You lecher, don't think I don't know what you're up to. You've already shown your true colors." Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at him, seeing his helpless expression.
