Shamelessness Is the Most Popular!

Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Inside the classroom.

After what happened yesterday, Yu Tianheng had moved seats and sat beside Chu Lan.

And just like that...

The seat beside Dugu Yan was empty.

The moment Dugu Yan thought of what had happened in the cafeteria yesterday, her anger flared.

She admitted that Ye Lingling was indeed beautiful.

But!

Chu Lan had actually ignored her beauty and gone to flirt with another girl!

For such a thing to happen to any woman was an insult!

"Ye Lingling!"

Dugu Yan suddenly turned around.

The owner of that voice was none other than Chu Lan.

The moment she turned, she saw that Chu Lan had already walked up to Ye Lingling.

Ye Lingling raised her eyes blankly.

There was not the slightest emotion in those deep violet eyes.

"How boring is it to sit here alone?"

"Let me introduce you to a friend."

Chu Lan said with an easygoing smile.

Upon hearing that, a trace of surprise finally surfaced in Ye Lingling's eyes.

She secretly thought, Is there something wrong with this guy...?

I don't even know him, so why is he talking to me...

And he kept staring at me yesterday...

Chu Lan noticed the change in Ye Lingling's expression.

The next second.

He gave Ye Lingling no time to react and simply took matters into his own hands.

He lifted both her and her chair together.

Ye Lingling's already fair face turned even paler because of Chu Lan's action.

Sitting in the chair, she did not dare move at all.

She let Chu Lan move her chair and place her in the seat beside Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan narrowed her eyes at the sight.

Oh, really!

He had been provoking her all along!

Dugu Yan shifted her gaze from Ye Lingling's face and glared fixedly at Chu Lan.

"Very good!"

Chu Lan clapped his hands and nodded in satisfaction.

"You two should get along nicely."

"After all, you're the two prettiest girls in this school."

"Don't start fighting."

Veins bulged on Dugu Yan's forehead.

Never in her life had she been this angry.

"Chu Lan..."

Dugu Yan ground her teeth.

It was as though she had squeezed those two words through the gaps in her teeth.

The temperature in the classroom seemed to drop considerably.

Ye Lingling was completely stunned as well.

Never in her world had she encountered someone as abrupt and rude as Chu Lan!

This was far too presumptuous!

"Now that's nice~"

Chu Lan returned to his seat.

The moment he looked up, two exceptionally beautiful young girls entered his view.

What a wonderful sight.

Although what he had done carried some suspicion of bullying Ye Lingling...

If Ye Lingling had not wanted it, she would have said so.

Since she had not said anything, that meant she was willing.

As for Dugu Yan... she looked furious, as though she wanted to beat him up.

Forget it. It did not matter.

Chu Lan answered the angry Dugu Yan with a smile.

Well then!

Dugu Yan smiled, but it was not from happiness. She had been angered into laughter.

Her hands clenched into fists.

However...

Just as Dugu Yan was about to erupt, Qin Ming entered the classroom.

"Class begins now!"

Dugu Yan's raised right hand froze in midair.

Chu Lan leaned his neck backward, trying to dodge.

Seeing this strange scene, Qin Ming frowned. "Dugu Yan, Chu Lan."

Dugu Yan shot Chu Lan a vicious glare before sitting back down, her expression returning to normal.

Chu Lan breathed a sigh of relief, the corners of his lips lifting.

Only then did Qin Ming withdraw his gaze.

Though he noticed that Ye Lingling had changed seats, such a trivial matter was not worth mentioning.

"Just you wait."

"After class, I'll make you regret this!"

Dugu Yan turned her head slightly, her emerald eyes fixed on Chu Lan as she threatened him.

"Whenever you want. I'll take it."

Chu Lan smiled playfully, completely unafraid.

"Sorry."

At that moment, a soft, faint voice reached Chu Lan and Dugu Yan's ears.

Both of them looked toward Ye Lingling at the same time.

Since yesterday's self-introduction, this was only the second time Ye Lingling had spoken in front of them.

The anger in Dugu Yan's heart instantly subsided.

"It's fine, it's fine."

"It's all that bad guy behind us's fault."

Chu Lan shrugged.

The morning classes ended.

Qin Ming left directly.

The next second.

Dugu Yan slammed her hand on the desk, rose to her feet, and turned to glare angrily at Chu Lan.

"You!"

"Come outside with me!"

The people around them watched eagerly, showing no intention of leaving as they whispered among themselves.

"What are you all looking at?!"

"Class is over. Go do whatever you're supposed to do!"

Dugu Yan showed the spectators no mercy.

At her shout, the onlookers all shuddered and rushed out of the classroom in a swarm.

For a moment.

Only Chu Lan, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling remained in the classroom.

"Don't get worked up, don't get worked up."

"I just wanted to get to know a new friend."

Chu Lan tried to soothe Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan gave a soft snort.

"Nine-Heart Begonia..."

"I know that martial soul. It can be considered the strongest healing-type martial soul on the continent."

Chu Lan smiled as he mentioned Ye Lingling's martial soul.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling's expression dimmed.

After noticing that, Dugu Yan did not understand what had happened.

She glanced at Chu Lan with a puzzled look.

"I heard that only two inheritors of the Nine-Heart Begonia martial soul can exist at the same time."

"For a descendant to inherit this martial soul, one Nine-Heart Begonia Soul Master must die."

Chu Lan continued.

His eyes deliberately, or perhaps unintentionally, flicked toward Ye Lingling.

"Stop talking."

Ye Lingling's cold voice suddenly rang out.

She abruptly stood up.

Then.

Under Chu Lan and Dugu Yan's gazes, she silently walked out of the classroom.

"What... what was that about?" Dugu Yan still had not fully processed it.

Chu Lan stared deeply at the doorway and said softly, "My words... made her angry."

Dugu Yan thought it over, then suddenly understood. She instinctively frowned. "I get it..."

She looked up at Chu Lan and said, "If it were me, I'd be angry too."

"How could you make her remember something so painful?"

Chu Lan shrugged, looking innocent. "This is a form of psychological therapy."

"Only by facing, confronting, and defeating those painful memories can she truly move on."

Dugu Yan was speechless.

However...

She suddenly realized that Chu Lan's words had led her off track.

She had come to settle accounts with Chu Lan!

"Chu Lan!"

"Why did you move her over to my side?!"

Dugu Yan put her hands on her hips, even changing the direction she faced.

"Don't get worked up, don't get worked up. Think about it..."

Chu Lan gestured with both hands and said with a grin:

"When you look up and can see two beautiful girls, isn't that a wonderful thing...?"

Dugu Yan's face darkened.

Seeing Chu Lan's punchable face, she slapped at him.

"I dodge!"

Chu Lan reacted quickly and easily avoided it.

Then he turned and ran.

"You want to hit me?"

"You need a lot more practice!"

Dugu Yan angrily waved her little fists and chased after him without letting up.

"Stop!"

"You dare provoke me? Your guts really have gotten fat!"
