"What, is that so hard to accept?"
"Hmph, let me tell you now: if you still don't put in the effort, Zhu Zhuqing will leave you far behind."
Zhao Wuji looked at their varied expressions, snorted, and continued, "Especially you, Dai Mubai. Did coming to Heaven Dou City land you in paradise? Haven't you been indulging yourself a little too much?
"I've watched your health get worse by the day with my own eyes. Today, you've even got huge dark circles under your eyes. 'Exhausted' is practically written across your face."
I'm fucking innocent!
After hearing Zhao Wuji's words, Dai Mubai said, "Teacher Zhao, I really haven't been out fooling around. You don't know this, but ever since Qin Xiao arrived, I haven't had a single peaceful night's sleep. I've been awake almost every night."
What he left unsaid was that the ambiguous relationship between Qin Xiao and Zhu Zhuqing kept him awake all night.
Simply put, he didn't even dare close his eyes.
Whenever he did, he saw Zhu Zhuqing posing seductively before another man...
He felt as though the torment was driving him mad.
Suddenly, Zhao Wuji laughed. "Dai Mubai, even if you're trying to excuse yourself, couldn't you pick a better excuse? Who is His Holiness, and who are you?"
"You say he's affecting you? Aren't you just a fool troubling himself?"
That...
Dai Mubai froze at his words.
He understood the meaning behind Zhao Wuji's remarks.
He was saying Dai Mubai didn't know his own limits.
"Teacher Zhao..."
Dai Mubai opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself further.
But then.
Zhao Wuji waved him off. "Enough unnecessary talk. Let's start today's task. Run a hundred laps around Blue Tyrant Academy. You can have breakfast when you finish."
"What!"
"Teacher Zhao, wasn't it only fifty laps yesterday?
