Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Seeing Wang Xiao’s abnormality, Zhou Xiruo could not help but frown and ask,

“What’s wrong?”

As she spoke, Zhou Xiruo turned her head and followed Wang Xiao’s gaze. She saw a girl in an exquisite long dress in the distance looking around with interest, as if she was participating in the internal celebration of Yuheng Academy.

The girl was about 20 years old. Her exquisite appearance was not inferior to Zhou Xiruo at all. Moreover, she had a quiet and elegant temperament. She was the kind of existence that could still be seen at a glance in a bustling crowd.

Looking at Wang Xiao’s lost expression, Zhou Xiruo immediately felt jealous.

She frowned slightly and gritted her teeth as she asked, “Is she very beautiful?”

“Yes, very beautiful. Very beautiful.’
Wang Xiao nodded and replied perfunctorily. Actually, he did not hear what Zhou Xiruo said at all because he had already recognized that the girl in the distance in an exquisite long dress. This was Liu Yingying, the girl he had just seen in the morning!

With the existence of the [Ancient Teleportation Portal] and the fact that the Lord’s Shop had branches all over the Blue Planet, it was not strange for Liu Yingying to suddenly appear in Kaiyang City thousands of kilometers away.

But why?

“Is it because of Academy Head Qin?”

Wang Xiao suddenly recalled that Liu Yingying seemed to be old acquaintances with Academy Head Qin Kaiyang, but on second thought, he felt that something was wrong.

If she was here to look for Qin Kaiyang, she should have gone to Kaiyang Academy. Why did she come to Yuheng Academy? Could it be that she was lost?

Just as Wang Xiao was puzzled, a piercing pain suddenly came from his arm, almost instantly causing him to recover from his thoughts!

“What are you doing!”

Wang Xiao rubbed his arm and looked at the unfriendly Zhou Xiruo. ‘Why did you pinch me for no reason?”

“You know it yourself!”

Zhou Xiruo glared at Wang Xiao, as if she still felt that her anger was not vented. She raised her leg and kicked Wang Xiao’s calf again. “Scumbag!”

Wang Xiao cried out in pain, but Zhou Xiruo turned around and left without looking back. Soon, she disappeared into the crowd.

Wang Xiao steadied himself and was about to ask when he realized that he could not find her. He could only give up and mutter, “What nonsense is this?” Then, he staggered towards Liu Yingying in the crowd.

On the other side, Liu Yingying looked around for a moment and suddenly grabbed a boy who was passing by. “Hello, student! I want to ask about someone!”

“What is…?”

The boy was still a little angry when he was suddenly pulled back. However, when he turned around and saw the exquisite Liu Yingying, the anger on his face was instantly replaced by a smile. “Hello, student. How can I help you?”

“You can’t help her!”

A male voice sounded from not far away. The boy’s expression darkened. He was about to show off his masculinity, but when he turned around and saw the other party, he instantly lost his guts.

“Wang… wang Xiao?”

The boy tried his best to squeeze out a forced smile. His eyes darted back and forth between Wang Xiao and Liu Yingying a few times, and his face immediately revealed a hint of disappointment. “You know each other?”

“I guess.”

As Wang Xiao spoke, he had already approached. He ignored the way the boys at the side looked at their love rival and pulled Liu Yingying before turning around to leave!

“Hey! What are you doing! Let go of me quickly!”

Liu Yingying was shocked and immediately screamed. When the surrounding boys heard her voice, they immediately felt heroic. However, when they saw that it was Wang Xiao who pulled her away, they did not dare to go forward.

“This Wang Xiao is really too outrageous! He already has such a beautiful Zhou Xiruo. Can’t he give us a chance?

“Who asked him to be so strong? Moreover, even if Wang Xiao gives us a chance, we won’t be able to grasp a beauty of this level!”

“Sigh…’

Amidst the sour discussions of the surrounding people, mainly the boys, Wang Xiao pulled Liu Yingying out of the crowd and entered an empty classroom.

“Wang Xiao! Let go of me!”

Liu Yingying swung her hand with all her might and finally broke free from Wang Xiao’s “demonic claws”. She rubbed her red wrist and said angrily, “Are you crazy? Am I very familiar with you? Why did you pull me away like that?!”

Wang Xiao did not mind being scolded. He only frowned at Liu Yingying and asked, “Aren’t you staying in the Holy Capital? Why did you come here?”

“None of your business!”

Liu Yingying rolled her eyes. “I can go wherever I want on the entire Blue

Planet! Grandpa doesn’t care about what I do. What can you do?”

Wang Xiao was immediately a little speechless. Actually, he did not want to care, but Liu Yingying’s identity was really too special.

It was not easy for him to negotiate a deal with the Lord’s Shop. If something happened to Liu Yingying here and caused the Lord’s Shop to vent its anger on him, who could Wang Xiao reason with if he could not obtain the upgrade resources?

However, looking at Liu Yingying’s spoiled appearance, Wang Xiao knew that it was definitely impossible to use force. He immediately softened his tone and asked gently, “What I mean is, what if you run out alone and encounter danger?”

“Who said I sneaked out? I clearly walked out openly!”

Liu Yingying immediately retorted when she heard this, but even a blind person could tell how guilty she was from her erratic gaze.

Wang Xiao sighed and did not expose her. He thought for a moment and asked, “How about this? What’s your motive for coming this time? I’ll help you settle it and then you can go back quickly, okay?”

Liu Yingying widened her eyes and was about to retort when she suddenly remembered something. Her expression changed and she said in a voice not much louder than a mosquito, “I’m here to look for Grandpa Qin…”

“Academy Head Qin?”

Wang Xiao was stunned when he heard this. “But he’s the Academy Head of Kaiyang Academy. Why did you come to our Yuheng Academy?”

“I… I don’t know the way.”

Wang Xiao was even more confused when he heard this. ‘You’ve never been to Kaiyang City?”

“Before I received the admission notice from Blue Planet University, I had never even left the Holy Capital…”

Liu Yingying replied softly. Then, her attitude suddenly became nasty. “What! I’m the heir of the Lord’s Shop. Do I have to go to every place? Isn’t there a place you haven’t been to?! What right do you have to laugh at me?!”

“…I’m not laughing at you!”

Wang Xiao spread his hands innocently, but he could not be bothered to argue with the other party. He changed the topic and said, “Then I’ll bring you to Academy Head Qin.”

“Really?”

Liu Ying was delighted. Before Wang Xiao could speak, he suddenly became vigilant. “Don’t tell me you’re lying to me? You might trick me to go to a deserted place and lock me up. Then, you will use me to threaten the Lord’s Shop!”

Wang Xiao opened his mouth speechlessly a few times, but he could not think of an explanation. In the end, he simply waved his hand. “I’ll go find Academy Head Qin now. If you want to follow me, follow me. If not, go find him yourself! ”

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Xiao turned around and left without looking back. Before he could walk out of the classroom, he saw Liu Yingying silently follow him out.

Seeing Wang Xiao looking at her, Liu Yingying blushed. “What are you looking at?! I’m not following you! This road doesn’t belong to you!”

Wang Xiao did not say anything and continued walking. He only sighed silently in his heart.

For some reason, Wang Xiao suddenly felt that he had gotten himself into quite

a lot of trouble…
