The next day, in an inconspicuous little hotel in Mingdu.
"Hmm..."
Huo Yutong set down the newspaper in her hands and smiled at Tang Wulin.
"Wulin, guess how people in Mingdu see you now?"
Tang Wulin tossed a snack into his mouth and said helplessly, "How else would they see me? They must hate me."
He had led his team to crush the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, which represented the glory of the Sun Moon Empire. No matter how one looked at it, Mingdu's residents should not have had any favorable impression of him.
Huo Yutong chuckled.
"Wrong. There are indeed quite a few people who hate you, but there are also plenty who like you."
"Huh?" Tang Wulin was genuinely shocked this time. "Why?"
Huo Yutong raised the newspaper in her hand.
"I was surprised too, but judging from what the paper says, there are unexpectedly many people who do not care much about the country and only care about looks and strength. So even though you made the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy lose all face in the last match, a lot of people ended up liking you because of it and became your fans."
"..."
For a moment, Tang Wulin did not know what to say.
Should he say that a big forest had all kinds of birds?
Just then, a familiar voice came from behind them.
"Sorry, did I keep you waiting long?"
Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong hurriedly rose to their feet.
"Not at all. We only arrived a short while ago ourselves."
The newcomer was Shrek Academy's Senior Sister, Zhang Lexuan. Ever since arriving in Mingdu, she had been busy carrying out covert work, so they rarely saw her. Even when they did meet, they only exchanged a few hurried words.
