It's Normal for Teenage Boys to Burn with Desire
For some reason, hearing this piqued Lin Luo's curiosity.
Xiong Chumo's distant relative is becoming increasingly mysterious.
He smiled at Yu Luoyi and said, "Don't worry, we'll definitely see each other either at the dance or when school starts."
Yu Luoyi, hands on his hips, declared arrogantly, "I'll definitely win her over when the time comes."
Lin Luo: "Didn't you say you didn't see his face?"
Yu Luoyi chuckled, "But just looking at his back, I think he's a real gem. Young Master Luo, you absolutely can't compete with me for him."
Lin Luo was amused by him, waved casually, and left the cafeteria.
When Yu Luoyi was a child, he would shout "The hatred of having one's wife stolen is irreconcilable" every day and fight with him. Later, he gradually gave up, probably because he realized that Xue Fu had firmly fallen in love with Lin Luo.
Before the dance begins, students can choose to stay at school or go home, since it's not officially the start of the semester yet.
Lin Luo, of course, went home.
Once seated in the carriage, She Long remarked with a sigh, "I won't have to pick up and drop off the young master every day anymore. It feels a little strange."
Lin Luo looked up at the window and murmured, "After all, it's not like when I was a child anymore."
The carriage drove away from the academy.
At that moment, a girl with long, wine-red hair appeared at the academy gate. She watched the departing carriage for a long time.
The Crown Prince's bedroom.
Bibi Dong is here today.
Qian Renxue, holding Xue Lian in her arms, said to Bibi Dong sitting beside her, "Aren't you curious about what he did those two nights?"
"What's so strange about that? You're all grown up now. Isn't it normal for you to stay out with your friends a little later and then come home?"
Bibi Dong responded with a calm expression.
Qian Renxue frowned. "What if she's my girlfriend?"
Bibi Dong: "Isn't it perfectly normal to have a girlfriend at this age?"
Qian Renxue immediately lost the desire to communicate with Bibi Dong.
The two of them don't care about the same things.
Xue Lian kept looking at Bibi Dong with curiosity, feeling somewhat unfamiliar with her. In fact, Bibi Dong had come several times before, but Xue Lian was too young at those times and had no memory of it.
Bibi Dong spoke up, "We've made some progress on the location of the Clear Sky Sect's headquarters, but the Spirit Hall hasn't rashly sent anyone closer; they're preparing to observe further."
Qian Renxue pondered for a moment and then thought of someone.
Just how strong is Tang San?
Bibi Dong frowned and said, "Two years ago, Yu Xiaogang came to me and asked about the Twin Martial Souls. Now, all I can confirm is that he has Twin Martial Souls. In other aspects, it seems that he deliberately concealed his cultivation level. It's rare for someone who is only a teenager to have such cunning."
"He's recently been involved with Xue Beng."
Qian Renxue recounted her discovery.
Because she and Ning Fengzhi have fallen out, unlike in the original story, Qian Renxue and Tang San have hardly spoken or met each other so far.
Bibi Dong: "That's normal. After all, he was on good terms with Dugu Bo before, and Xue Beng is also in dire need of recruiting talent."
Qian Renxue: "I'm afraid that if he and Luo'er meet at the Soul Master Tournament, it will be detrimental to Luo'er."
Bibi Dong nodded upon hearing this. "That's what I'm worried about too. The strange thing about this kid is that he's been hiding his strength all along; almost no one knows his Martial Soul level... By the way, a spy said that his appearance has undergone a significant change."
Qian Renxue looked up in astonishment. "Is it because of the Martial Soul? Has it mutated?"
"It's hard to say," Bibi Dong shook her head. "It might be evolution, but in any case, it's definitely a positive thing. Don't worry, I'll send someone to secretly test him and see if we can force him to reveal his strength."
At that moment, a commotion came from outside the palace.
Xue Lian immediately jumped down happily, shouting, "It must be my brother coming back!"
Lin Luo got off the carriage, picked up Xue Lian who rushed out, kissed her on her chubby cheek, and then walked towards the palace.
Grandma's here?
Lin Luo was surprised. He didn't know what the Temple had been busy with lately, as he hadn't seen Bibi Dong for quite some time.
"Luo'er seems to have grown taller again?"
Bibi Dong walked to Lin Luo's side in surprise, patted Lin Luo's head, and measured him in front of her.
She said, "Indeed, it's several fingers taller than when I last saw it."
Lin Luo put Xue Lian down and hugged Bibi Dong affectionately. "Grandma is even more beautiful than last time!"
"You're quite the smooth talker, kid."
Bibi Dong was overjoyed. She hugged Lin Luo and kissed her grandson on the forehead.
Qian Renxue suddenly felt a pang of unease.
Why is it that Lin Luo and Bibi Dong seem to get along so warmly and happily, while being with her feels like being enemies?
She hadn't hugged or kissed Lin Luo in a long time. It wasn't that Lin Luo didn't want to, but doing it... would create an awkward atmosphere between them.
"By the way Luo'er, your mother wants to know if you have a girlfriend. Were you out doing something naughty with your girlfriend those two nights?"
Bibi Dong cupped Lin Luo's face in her hands and asked with a smile.
Qian Renxue froze instantly.
She never expected Bibi Dong to speak so bluntly!
"Cough cough!"
Qian Renxue coughed twice forcefully.
Xue Lian tilted her head back. "What's so embarrassing?"
Qian Renxue immediately squatted down and covered the little girl's mouth.
Sure enough, Lin Luo's expression changed. He frowned and said, "I already said nothing's wrong, and I don't have a girlfriend."
Qian Renxue stood up and scoffed, "That's what your grandmother wanted to ask. It has nothing to do with me. I'm too lazy to care about your affairs anymore."
Bibi Dong smiled without saying a word, which was a kind of presupposition. If she denied it again, she felt that Qian Renxue would shatter completely.
She said to Lin Luo, "It's normal for us to care about you, Luo'er. If anything is on your mind, don't keep it to yourself. If it's inconvenient to tell your mother, you can tell your grandmother. If it's really inconvenient to tell a woman, then tell She Long and the Pufferfish."
... Heh, if you tell She Long and the Pufferfish, they'll tell you two right away.
Lin Luo said, "Grandma is right. The reason I didn't say it is because it's inconvenient to tell you women, so please don't ask."
"You wouldn't..." Qian Renxue looked at Lin Luo in surprise.
She didn't say what she was going to say, but Lin Luo seemed to already know what she was going to say.
Forget it... I'd better not explain further; I have a feeling it'll only make things worse.
Lin Luo sighed and silently walked towards her room, while Qian Renxue slumped heavily into a chair, looking utterly dejected.
She had seen many examples of aristocratic boys going to prostitutes in their teens... It's certainly impossible for any boy to enjoy wealth and luxury while remaining chaste.
Suddenly, she felt like the sky had fallen.
Bibi Dong placed her hand on her shoulder, comforting her, "Don't overthink it. Even if we take a step back, it's normal for teenage boys to be hot-tempered..."
"No! No way! Other kids can do that, but he can't!"
Qian Renxue said sadly.
Seeing her daughter's somewhat distraught appearance, Bibi Dong twitched the corner of her mouth. "Don't get so caught up in this. The truth might not be like that."
