"Don't worry, Meng, I know the guards very well."
Meng Hongchen was stunned, but still pointed to the hotel in front of them and said, " Cao Yu, that guard is very stubborn, he definitely won't let us in. Why don't we go into this hotel and take a look?"
"There might still be rooms available."
Cao Yu was silent for a moment before saying, "Come on, take my hand."
Meng Hongchen blushed and asked softly, "What?" But she still obediently stretched out her hand.
"Come on, I'll take you back." Before she could react, Cao Yu pulled her away into the distance.
As they got further and further away from the luxury hotel, Meng Hongchen looked anxious and said with a hint of exasperation, " Cao Yu, don't you believe me?"
"There's plenty of time, no need to rush. Listen to me, okay?" Cao Yu patiently reassured him.
This isn't disbelief, it's obvious you want to eat me up.
This little girl has some improper thoughts!
He's a bad person!
So, despite Meng Hongchen's objections, Cao Yu brought her back to the Soul Tool Academy.
When they arrived at the gate, Cao Yu chatted with the guard, and soon the guard happily let them pass.
However, after watching the two figures disappear into the distance, he silently shook his head at Cao Yu.
The guard muttered to himself, "Sigh, these young people nowadays, they never know how to seize an opportunity."
"That kid Little Yu is really something, sigh!"
Even after entering the campus, Meng Hongchen still looked unhappy. It wasn't until the moment of parting that she shouted at Cao Yu, " Cao Yu, are you even a man? Humph! I'm ignoring you!"
She then turned around and ran away into the distance without looking back. Seeing this, Cao Yu smiled with relief.
She's so excited! It seems I've done her a huge favor. This feels great!
Back in his dorm, Cao Yu lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling, and began to reflect on the day's gains and losses.
Today he lost the opportunity to have an in-depth conversation with Meng Hongchen.
However, this does not mean that Meng Hongchen lacks charm; on the contrary, she is really beautiful and has a great figure.
That night, Cao Yu's reason for refusing her was simply that he was in a period of "sagehood".
Men, there will always be days when they just can't get interested in girls.
Besides, there's plenty of time; you can't rush things.
"Hmm, she picked the wrong time, it's not my fault, she should understand." Cao Yu thought about it and felt that what she said made a lot of sense. Before long, he got sleepy, and this time, as usual, he asked the Immoral Dog to turn off the lights.
This Immoral Dog is used to it; he even turns off the lights with practiced ease.
It seems it's going to great lengths to avoid eating dog meat hotpot.
Cao Yu's eyes welled up with tears.
The night grew quiet, and in the distance, a beautiful woman wept sorrowfully; this was destined to be a sleepless night.
The morning sunlight shone on him, and he soon woke up in bed.
After finishing breakfast and arriving at the Mingde Hall, he didn't see Meng Hongchen around his lab table. Usually, she would have arrived much earlier by this time.
Meng Hongchen also had her own lab table elsewhere, and she was there at the moment. She naturally saw Cao Yu when he came in.
Upon closer inspection, I noticed that the area around her eyes was a bit red, so it seems she didn't sleep well last night.
She glared at him fiercely, then lowered her Meng Hongchen to continue her experiment, ignoring him completely.
Cao Yu, of course, didn't want to make a fool of himself, so he took out his carving knife and focused intently on his experiment.
He Caitou looked at him strangely. It seemed that the young couple had a fight. They shook their heads helplessly but didn't ask any more questions.
After all, the one who tied the knot must untie it, and besides, they can't really help much. Moreover, as long-time singles, they don't have much experience in solving these relationship problems.
The Soul Tool in his hands were still the best; the thought of love and romance gave him a headache, He Caitou simply stopped thinking about them.
Just a few days later, after Cao Yu comforted her, Meng Hongchen finally forgave him, though she was still a little angry with him, which was exactly what Cao Yu expected.
So for the remaining three months, Meng Hongchen continued to guide Cao Yu's Soul Tool experiments as usual.
Finally, he also received the badge of Level 4 Soul Engineer from Xuan Ziwen, which surprised Xuan Ziwen, his mentor.
I don't know what methods the sect leader used to turn him into this.
I'm completely baffled!
When Ju Zi and Ke Ke learned that he had become Level 4 Soul Engineer, they were also filled with disbelief.
"Didn't you say you were too lazy to study?" Ju Zi and the others caught Cao Yu and asked. Cao Yu smiled awkwardly, "I can't help it, it's the hall master's strict requirement, I'm in a difficult position too."
"I don't think you're lying," Ju Zi, looking at him with some suspicion. Even Ke Ke was skeptical.
After he finished speaking, the two of them surrounded him tightly, wanting to get to the bottom of things.
Summer vacation is just around the corner, and in just one more day everyone will be temporarily leaving the college for a while.
So Ju Zi also plans to have a picnic outside, and of course, she will be in charge of the cooking this time, since her cooking skills are recognized by everyone.
The food they prepared was guaranteed to taste good, and Cao Yu and the others helped out, leaving the task of cleaning the ingredients to them.
As for the rest of the time, they could simply wait for Ju Zi to finish preparing these things.
Bored, Wang Shaojie asked Ke Ke, " Ke Ke, how confident are you about passing the Level 7 Soul Engineer assessment this time? After all, we'll all be facing this problem when we come back next semester."
Ke Ke thought for a moment, a slight worry on her face, but she still said, "There's probably a 40% chance I can get through. After all, my Soul Power Level is far too low. If I had Cao Yu's strength, I definitely wouldn't be worried."
Cao Yu smiled and said, "Nothing in this world is perfect."
While everyone was chatting, the skewers of grilled meat already emitted an enticing aroma.
Not long after, Ju Zi brought out the plate of grilled meat skewers, and Cao Yu handed her one, saying, "Here, sister, you have some too."
"Okay." Ju Zi reached out and took it, then slowly tasted it with her rosy little lips.
Ke Ke said coquettishly, "I want Cao Yu too!"
"Okay, here you go." Cao Yu reluctantly handed over another string of them. Only then did Ke Ke smile and say to him, "Thank you."
Both Zi Mu and Wang Shaojie were numb to it; although they were angry inside, they pretended not to see it.
After a satisfying meal, everyone returned to the academy with smiles on their faces.
Cao Yu sat quietly on the bed, planning to go to the Far North after tomorrow's event.
He also added Soul Ring to his third Martial Soul, Ice.
After finalizing the upcoming itinerary, Cao Yu lay down on the bed and went to sleep.
