Dugu Yan followed Jun Yi backstage, her face flushed, head down, constantly rubbing her hands, looking every bit like a young girl.
When Jun Yi leaned close to Dugu Yan's ear, Dugu Yan pretty face flushed instantly, and she said shyly, " Xiao Yi, if you really have those kinds of thoughts, we can't do it here."
"Um, Sister Yanyan, you've misunderstood. I just wanted to talk to you about our bet. I didn't mean to do anything to you. Besides, even if I were to do something, I wouldn't do it here. What if someone else saw us?" Jun Yi said with a smile.
"Then, what do you want to say?" Hearing Jun Yi's explanation, Dugu Yan's pretty face softened a little.
Jun Yi chuckled and said, " Sister Yanyan, please listen to me."
Jun Yi leaned close to Dugu Yan's ear again and whispered a few words. Dugu Yan's already flushed face heated up even more, and her beautiful eyes filled with reproach as she said coquettishly, "So you like this kind of thing."
"Ahem, so Sister Yanyan, will you agree or not?" Jun Yi asked with a smile.
"Hmm! Okay!" Dugu Yan said shyly, then instantly transformed into an older sister, saying to Jun Yi, "No wonder Little Brother Jun kept staring at those two girls' legs from the Skywater Academy instead of mine. It turns out you like this style. You should have said so earlier, and I would have worn it for you."
Dugu Yan's face flushed slightly. As she spoke, she slowly leaned against the wall, gently lifting her school uniform skirt to admire her long, slender legs. She said, "I knew my legs were pretty good-looking. Why didn't you look? It's because I wasn't wearing stockings! I never expected that the handsome-looking Little Brother Jun would be such a pervert in private."
As she spoke, Dugu Yan looked playfully at Jun Yi, " Little Brother Jun, I'll wear it for you to see in a bit. Which style do you like?"
"I'm fine with anything, I like to see Sister Yanyan dressed in whatever she wants," Jun Yi replied with a righteous expression.
"Hmph! Smooth talker." Dugu Yan blushed, rolled her eyes at Jun Yi, and then continued, "Alright, you little pervert, let's go out first. Lingling and the others are still waiting for us. As for your request, we'll talk about it later."
"Okay." Jun Yi nodded and left the backstage area with Dugu Yan.
In Heaven Dou City, Jun Yi and his group, along with Qin Ming, were looking for a place to eat. However, everyone's attention was drawn to Jun Yi, who was wearing a purple spider-shaped mask.
" Jun Yi, why are you still wearing a mask? And why have you changed your clothes?" Qin Ming asked, somewhat puzzled.
" Teacher Qin, you don't know this, Little Brother Jun is quite the celebrity now. Yesterday at dinner, a whole bunch of people were asking him for autographs."
Dugu Yan smiled and recounted yesterday's experience to Qin Ming. After listening, Qin Ming nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, "I see. No wonder Jun Yi was dressed like that; he just wanted to avoid being disturbed."
"Yeah, that's probably the trouble that comes with fame. Sigh, what can I do? I'm handsome, talented, and outstanding."
Everyone was used to Jun Yi's boastful manner and didn't refute him. Qin Ming also smiled along. Jun Yi was completely different on and off the stage. On stage, he was Haki and arrogant, while off stage, he was a smug young man with a smirk.
This made Qin Ming sigh inwardly. No wonder this kid could cause such a stir throughout the entire empire. Beneath his seemingly approachable exterior lies a violent core. He is indeed a prodigy.
Jun Yi and the others were strolling down the street when Jun Yi suddenly stopped, pointed ahead, and said, "Hey? It looks like there's a fight over there. Let's go take a look."
Following Jun Yi's gaze, everyone saw two young men arguing not far ahead, while another young man stood aside trying to dissuade them, but to no avail.
Seeing the two arguing youths, Dugu Yan frowned and said, "They seem to be from the Godwind Academy and Blazing Fire Academy."
"Never mind them, let's go watch the show." Jun Yi smiled faintly and led the group straight ahead.
Upon approaching the two, Jun Yi noticed that one of the youths was being pinned to the ground by the youth from the Blazing Fire Academy, while the youth from the Blazing Fire Academy was straddling him.
The youth from the Blazing Fire Academy sneered with a ferocious expression, "I already told you, your academy's captain is nothing but a lackey of our vice-captain, but you wouldn't believe me, hahaha... You lost today. Let's see if you dare to oppose Blazing Fire Academy again."
Upon hearing the young man's words, the youth from the Godwind Academy roared angrily, " Huo Lie, don't push your luck! It's one thing for your Blazing Fire Academy to bully others, but you also have the audacity to frame our captain like this! If our captain weren't here today, we would definitely not let you off the hook!"
Huo Lie sneered, "He won't let me off the hook? Your captain has already withdrawn from the competition, why shouldn't he let me off the hook?"
"You!" The student from the Godwind Academy was extremely indignant, but he did not refute what Huo Lie said.
"Hahaha, ptooey! Your captain is a coward. He couldn't handle the blow after being defeated by Jun Yi, so he withdrew from the competition, acting like a coward. He didn't even have the courage to fight again. If he's not a coward, then who is?"
Huo Lie burst into laughter, and the surrounding crowd immediately erupted in laughter as well.
Meanwhile, the members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy who were watching the show all had strange expressions on their faces. They all looked at Jun Yi, who was wearing a purple spider mask, and their faces showed gloating.
Jun Yi internally scoffed, "How the hell is this related to me?"
Then several armored soldiers rushed out from the street corner, wielding long spears, and surrounded the fighting youths.
The onlookers dispersed, making way for them.
The leading officer approached and said sternly, " Soul Master are prohibited from using Soul Skill in combat within Heaven Dou City. You are under arrest."
Upon hearing this, Huo Lie dismounted from the disciple of the Godwind Academy, a smile appearing on his face, showing no sign of panic.
"Brother Guard, we were just sparring; we didn't use any Soul Skill. Everyone here can vouch for that."
The guard then looked at the onlookers and, getting the answer from their expressions, said, "Even without using Soul Skill, this kind of behavior shouldn't be done in the street. This is a verbal warning; if you do it again, you'll be thrown in jail."
"Thank you, Guard Brother." Huo Lie bowed to the guard, then waved his hand and headed towards the teleportation array of Heaven Dou City, with the students from the Blazing Fire Academy following closely behind.
The student from the Godwind Academy on the ground got up on his own in front of the many onlookers and limped away into the distance.
Jun Yi looked at the student from the Godwind Academy, a hint of pity appearing in his eyes...
