Chapter 21 There must be a reason why Teacher Zhou Yi asked you to do this!
Xiao Xiao's steps did not stop for a moment.
Her petite frame moved swiftly with her short legs.
When she arrived at the dormitory building, she asked someone to pass on a message.
A short while later, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong came out of the building.
Huo Yuhao looked puzzled, clearly not understanding why Xiao Xiao had suddenly called them out.
When Wang Dong walked next to Huo Yuhao, the expression on his face wasn't so pleasant.
His lips drooped slightly, and his eyes revealed his impatience at being disturbed.
If Xiao Xiao hadn't been in the same group as them, she would have turned around and left long ago.
Even so, her tone wasn't much better.
"Xiao Xiao, what's wrong? We still need to cultivate." Wang Dong crossed his arms.
Huo Yuhao stood next to Wang Dong.
Although he didn't show any displeasure like Wang Dong, he spoke much faster than usual.
He seemed very impatient.
"Xiao Xiao, what's wrong? Tell me quickly, we don't have much time."
It wasn't because he had any issues with Xiao Xiao, but because his next opponent was Dai Huabin.
People from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
He must seize every opportunity to cultivate and absolutely cannot lose to that family.
I wonder if it's because Ning Tian and Wu Feng have already dropped out of Shrek Academy.
Before they even encountered Xie Huanyue, they ran into Dai Huabin's team.
Xiao Xiao looked at the two people in front of her.
Suddenly, I lost confidence in what I was about to say.
She pursed her lips slightly, thought for a moment, and decided to speak up anyway.
They've been partners who've fought side by side for so long.
She wouldn't betray them so easily, nor would she betray Shrek Academy.
I also want to know the answer.
Xiao Xiao's face was full of struggle, and just as Wang Dong was about to lose his patience, she finally spoke.
"Teacher Zhou Yi asked me to add a spirit ring to my second martial soul to assist in the upcoming battle."
"I don't know whether I should do this."
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong exchanged a glance.
Without even thinking, the two of them said it in unison.
"Since Teacher Zhou Yi has said so, why don't you just do as Teacher Zhou Yi says?"
"Do you really need to ask us about such a small thing?"
Huo Yuhao's tone was matter-of-fact.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm has fallen into a deep sleep, and he currently has no way of learning about the relevant knowledge of twin martial souls.
Back when I was at the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, I had very little access to knowledge about Soul Masters.
He hadn't been a member of Shrek Academy for very long.
Now he's facing the new student assessment, and he hasn't learned any theoretical knowledge about twin martial souls at all.
Professor Zhou Yi is such a remarkable person; there must be a reason behind what she says.
In Huo Yuhao's eyes, Zhou Yi is the perfect teacher.
The students just need to do what the teacher says.
Wang Dong either genuinely couldn't be bothered with the matter or simply didn't care.
Anyway, it was Zhou Yi who requested it, so what does it have to do with Wang Dong?
She waved her hand casually.
"Alright, alright, is it really worth making a special trip for such a small matter? Go on, go on."
Xiao Xiao stood there, stunned.
As she looked at the two people in front of her, the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.
If she hadn't met Gu An, and hadn't heard those words from the stranger.
She certainly doesn't see any problem right now.
Teacher Zhou Yi said so, and the class monitor and Wang Dong also agreed, so let's do it that way.
but.
She had just received care and concern from a complete stranger.
And the people she considers her allies are those who have fought alongside her for so long.
They didn't even ask another question.
The contrast was too stark; she couldn't quite accept it.
Xiao Xiao pursed her lips, mustering her courage to ask another question.
"Do you... know what the consequences will be if you put a hundred-year spirit ring on your second spirit?"
Huo Yuhao had already turned around to leave, but upon hearing her words, he paused and turned back.
His expression showed obvious confusion and a hint of displeasure.
"Xiao Xiao, Teacher Zhou Yi told you to go, so hurry up and go."
"The knockout stage starts tomorrow, we really don't have any time left."
"Wang Dong and I need to go back to cultivate."
Wang Dong chimed in from the side.
"That's right, that's right, hurry up and go, stop dawdling."
After saying that, the two turned around and walked together toward the dormitory building.
Wang Dong walked ahead, with Huo Yuhao following beside him. Their figures quickly disappeared at the entrance of the dormitory building.
Xiao Xiao was left standing there all alone.
A breeze blew by, carrying the coolness of the evening, bringing a sense of desolation.
Xiao Xiao stared blankly in the direction the two had left.
She felt as if she had grown a red nose.
He's just a clown.
An inexplicable emotion welled up inside me, my eyes started to burn, and my vision blurred.
At that moment, another sentence echoed in her mind.
"After graduation, will your team be stuck together all the time? In the end, you'll still end up alone."
"Therefore, true strength lies in being strong yourself."
"Any action that involves betting your future is foolish."
She blinked hard.
Large tears rolled down her cheeks, forming droplets on her chin and dripping onto her clothes.
She raised her hand and wiped her face haphazardly with the back of her hand.
"Gu An... is right!"
He turned and walked silently toward the academy gate.
She doesn't understand.
They've fought side-by-side for so long and won so many games together.
Why are they treated worse than a stranger?
Why would a stranger stop to care about her, while her companion wouldn't even listen to a single word she said?
That person was absolutely right.
She, Xiao Xiao, is someone who shouldn't exist.
They're all lovey-dovey; they're a couple.
The Goddess of Light Butterfly is a martial soul that only women can awaken.
Wang Dong is a woman.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong are together.
Only a fool like myself wouldn't even know such basic common sense, yet I foolishly went for it.
I am just a supporting character, a supporting character that no one cares about.
Xiao Xiao walked out of the gates of Shrek Academy and hurried along the street.
Her face still bore traces of tears that hadn't been wiped away.
She found Gu An near the street she had been on before.
Gu An and Leng Yaozhu were sitting by the window in a teahouse.
Seeing Xiao Xiao run over with red eyes, Gu An put down his teacup.
Xiao Xiao walked up to him, opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, tears started falling again.
"Waaaaahh ...
She threw herself into Gu An's arms and burst into unrestrained sobs.
Gu An looked helpless. Even though he was indeed handsome, you can't be this infatuated with a woman.
After that, it's unclear what the two talked about, but Xiao Xiao, having calmed down, walked out of the teahouse.
They walked straight toward the gates of Shrek City.
She wants to go home.
My home is in a small town near Shrek City.
Gu An stood at the entrance of the teahouse, watching Xiao Xiao's figure disappear at the end of the street.
Leng Yaozhu walked to his side and glanced down at him.
"Did you get what you wanted?"
Gu An looked at her speechlessly, "The way you're saying it makes it sound like I'm trying to sow discord."
"I'm saving a girl who's about to go astray!"
"You can't take the wrong road!"
--------
the next day.
Shrek Academy, the venue for the knockout stage.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong stood in the waiting area next to the Soul Battle Arena, both of them looking rather grim.
Wang Dong stood on tiptoe, craning his neck to look towards the entrance, muttering to himself.
"Where's Xiao Xiao? Why hasn't she arrived yet?"
Huo Yuhao frowned, his expression turning somewhat grim.
Xiao Xiao was late today. The elimination rounds are about to start, and there wasn't a trace of her.
Wang Dong turned to look at Huo Yuhao.
"Didn't she say yesterday that she was going to attach a spirit ring to her second spirit? Even if she went to get the spirit ring, she should be back by now."
Huo Yuhao didn't speak, he just shook his head.
He had a bad feeling.
Zhou Yi stood behind the two of them, her hands behind her back, her face so gloomy it could drip water.
The veins on his forehead throbbed slightly.
Her class, her team, at the crucial moment when the elimination rounds are about to begin.
One person is missing.
"Damn it! Xiao Xiao! If you don't come back with a good explanation..."
