Judging from the woman's attire, Jun Yi was probably not an ordinary commoner, otherwise she wouldn't be in such an expensive restaurant.
Seeing the excited girl, Jun Yi's lips twitched slightly. However, seeing her so excited, Jun Yi didn't want to dampen her confidence, so he smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words, young lady. I still advise you not to fall in love with me."
"Pfft"
As soon as Jun Yi finished speaking, Dugu Yan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"It's nothing, you guys chat. I suddenly remembered something happy." Dugu Yan covered her mouth, then used the menu to hide her face, preventing anyone from seeing her expression.
Dugu Yan's meddling left Jun Yi speechless. He could only shrug helplessly and say, "Miss, if there's nothing else, could we have a meal together?"
"Okay, you guys eat, I won't bother you anymore. Oh, could you sign my autograph?" the girl said sweetly, then took out a booklet and a pen and handed them to Jun Yi.
"Um, sure." Jun Yi took the paper and pen, wrote his name on the first page of the booklet, and handed it to the girl.
"Thank you, Jun Yi. I will watch every game you play from now on! I will always support you!"
"Thank you." Jun Yi expressed his gratitude. The girl was overjoyed and reluctantly left after taking the booklet. However, she glanced at Jun Yi a few more times before leaving.
After the woman left, everyone returned to normal. After ordering their food, Dugu Yan's smile remained, and she laughed, "Haha, Little Brother Jun, you're really a celebrity now! Even eating here, young girls are asking for your autograph!"
This was also Jun Yi's first time experiencing something like this, and he was a Sisi uncomfortable. But Jun Yi was a thick-skinned person. Hearing this, Jun Yi shrugged smugly, acting as if he didn't care at all, and waved his hand, saying, "There's nothing I can do. Who told me to be not only talented and strong, but also so handsome? This kind of thing happens all the time."
"I wonder who it was that looked so terrified when that little girl hugged them. I think you were just talking nonsense."
Dugu Yan saw through Jun Yi's thoughts at a glance.
"Ahem, I was just startled. I've never seen such enthusiastic fans before," Jun Yi coughed twice to cover his embarrassment.
Everyone burst into laughter.
After a satisfying meal, it was time to pay the bill. The meal cost Jun Yi 947 Gold Soul Coin. If Ning Fengzhi n't given Jun Yi the money from selling Soul Tool earlier, he really wouldn't have been able to afford it. As for the individual competition rewards, they hadn't been distributed yet. They said they would be distributed together with the team competition rewards, and the awards would be presented together after tomorrow's competition.
As everyone prepared to leave the hotel, they found a large crowd gathered at the entrance, seemingly waiting for something. When Jun Yi arrived at the entrance, the crowd immediately surrounded him.
"Wow, Jun Yi, could you please sign your autograph for me?"
"Me too."
Jun Yi, I love you!
The crowd surged forward, nearly engulfing Jun Yi.
"What's going on? I just played a match, how come I suddenly have so many fans?" Jun Yi was puzzled. He remembered that the people in the stands were all students from various colleges. Could these all be fans?
"I said, that's enough, we're in a hurry." Dugu Yan frowned, snorted coldly, and released a slight pressure from her body, directly knocking the surrounding Soul Master back several meters.
Upon seeing this, everyone stopped in their tracks.
"Who is this person? Such a powerful aura! He actually managed to repel so many of us!"
" Dugu Yan, the granddaughter of the Poison Douluo," a student from the academy whispered.
Seeing this, Jun Yi said, "Gentlemen, your actions are disturbing us. Could you please make way for us?"
Jun Yi suddenly felt as if he had become the kind of fanboy he hated most in his past life, which made Jun Yi very uncomfortable. He just wanted to get out of this environment as soon as possible and leave this place.
"Oh, we were reckless."
The crowd parted to make way, Jun Yi led everyone away quickly, leaving the group looking disappointed.
Jun Yi and his group boarded the carriage and sped off towards the academy.
Jun Yi looked at Dugu Yan sitting opposite him and said gratefully, " Sister Yanyan, for getting me out of that situation. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to face them."
"No need to thank me. There were just too many people, so I couldn't do anything. I had to use intimidation to stop them from getting close to you."
Dugu Yan said, "However, it seems you've truly become famous this time. Everyone was saying how amazing you were before, and now you've demonstrated your strength, completely confirming those rumors. This situation was somewhat expected."
"To be honest, I don't really like this feeling; it's a bit too uncomfortable."
Jun Yi shook his head. In his previous life, what he hated most was the so-called "brother" in the fan circle. Now he was actually going to have the kind of person he hated the most. Thinking about it, it was a little scary.
"If you don't like it, we have a solution. Would you like to hear it?" Dugu Yan said with a smile.
What method?
"Get a girlfriend, and all the problems will be solved."
Dugu Yan's gaze swept over Jun Yi from head to toe, revealing a hint of ambiguity.
Upon hearing this, Jun Yi's face darkened; it would be best to put this plan on hold for now.
"Let's forget about it. I'm only 12 years old now. I should wait until I'm an adult," Jun Yi shook his head and refused.
Dugu Yan looked incredulous and asked, "That means we have to wait four years? Can you really wait that long?"
"I have to resist, even if I can't help it. I'm a very good person; I don't date as a minor."
Jun Yi looked serious. He had received a proper compulsory education, although he hadn't followed it back on Blue Star. But being reborn meant he had another chance, right? Besides, in the Douluo Continent, the age of adulthood was 16, Jun Yi wouldn't miss a few more years.
"It's commendable that you have this idea," Dugu Yan nodded, praising, "Since you insist, I respect your choice."
Ye Lingling, sitting next to Dugu Yan, remained silent, simply watching Jun Yi quietly, her thoughts unreadable.
When everyone returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they found many royal guards gathered at the entrance, and a magnificent royal carriage parked there.
Jun Yi and his entourage alighted from the carriage, and a guard immediately approached Jun Yi, saying, "Your Highness Jun Yi, you're back."
"Is it Brother Xue?" Seeing such a scene, Jun Yi guessed that it was very likely that Qian Renxue had arrived.
"Yes, His Your Highness Qinghe is currently waiting for you in the Education Commission office."
