The story could be made up, but his affectionate gaze was genuine.
Liuli Luoluo had grown up with Liuli Xiangsi. She knew what men were like. Most men couldnât resist the temptation of women. That was why Liuli Luoluo liked the stern and reserved Sheng Xiao.
To be honest, Liuli Luoluo loved Sheng Xiaoâs indifferent and aloof attitude towards her.
Therefore, Liuli Luoluo could tell if Ji Linyuan was lying or telling the truth.
Although she couldnât tell if Ji Linyuan was telling the truth, she could feel that his sorrow was real.
âI understand. Weâll take it slow.â Liuli Luoluo heaved a sigh of relief.

After leaving the blind date venue, Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao rushed to the Jingdu airport and took the aircraft back to the Holy Spirit Academy with the other students. The second cabin of the aircraft was the dining and drinking area. When Yu Huang went to the dining room to eat, she met Xuanyuan Chen, who was drinking alone.
He sat beside the long table with his left hand holding the Crazy Demon Blade and his right hand holding a wine glass. His face was flushed.
People who flushed when they drank actually shouldnât drink.
Sheng Xiao walked over and snatched the wine from Xuanyuan Chenâs hand. âYou canât drink anymore.â A drunk Beast Tamer was very destructive. A drunk Beast Tamer who had just been dumped would be even more terrifying when he went crazy.
Xuanyuan Chen was stunned when the wine glass was snatched away. Then, he slowly raised his head.
Xuanyuan Chen was furious when he saw Sheng Xiaoâs cold expression. âAre you here to laugh at me?â Xuanyuan Chen snatched the wine glass from Sheng Xiaoâs hand and smashed it on the table. He shouted at Sheng Xiao with bloodshot eyes, âAre you here to see how funny it is that I was dumped by a woman you didnât want?â
Sheng Xiao didnât lower himself to the level of an alcoholic. He pulled Yu Huang away.
But at that moment, Xuanyuan Chen grabbed Sheng Xiaoâs sleeve and said to him indignantly, âShe said that she treats me as your substitute, but Iâm not even a qualified substitute.â
Sheng Xiao looked down at Xuanyuan Chenâs dejected expression and sneered. âI think youâre more suitable to be a bootlicker.â
Xuanyuan Chen fell silent and was momentarily speechless.
Sheng Xiao pried his fingers away and said, âLook at you. You donât look like a young Supreme Master at all. If I were Liuli Luoluo, I wouldnât even choose you as a substitute.â
Xuanyuan Chen was devastated. âSenior Sheng, youâre so sharp-tongued.â
Yu Huang couldnât bear to listen anymore. She nudged Sheng Xiaoâs arm. Sheng Xiao raised his eyebrows. He didnât continue to criticize Xuanyuan Chen when he saw Yu Huang looking at him disapprovingly. Yu Huang walked to Xuanyuan Chen and sat down opposite him. She asked him, âDid you see Luoluo today?â
Xuanyuan Chen was already so drunk that he couldnât recognize her. He stared at Yu Huangâs face for a moment before recognizing her. âItâs you.â When he thought about how Yu Huang was Ji Linyuanâs junior and the patriarch of the Yin Clan, Xuanyuan Chen was enraged. He snorted coldly and said, âShe despised me for being born into a poor family and despised me for being so far away from her, so she dumped me.â
After a pause, Xuanyuan Chen sighed softly. âShe dumped me.â
Yu Huang could roughly guess how mean and hurtful Liuli Luoluoâs words were and how proud and cold her expression was when she said these words to Xuanyuan Chen.
When Yu Huang thought about how Madam Xuanyuan was very likely to be the heavens, she suspected that Liuli Luoluo had been forced to say this. Yu Huang asked Xuanyuan Chen, âAre you sure those are Senior Luoluoâs heartfelt words?â Although Yu Huang was not familiar with Liuli Luoluo, she understood her personality.
Although she cultivated the carefree path and was quite promiscuous, like her mentor, she was also an upright person. If she loved someone, she would love them wholeheartedly. If she didnât feel anything for someone, she wouldnât deliberately toy with their feelings. Yu Huang felt that if Liuli Luoluo didnât really love Xuanyuan Chen, it would be impossible for her to develop a relationship with him.
There was something fishy about this matter.
Xuanyuan Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head. He said, âI hope that sheâs lying even more than you guys do. I thought she had difficulties, so I asked her in person. She said that she never loved me from the beginning to the end. The reason she started a relationship with me was that she wanted to forget the person she couldnât get through a new relationship.â
Xuanyuan Chen looked at Sheng Xiao with resentment.
Before Sheng Xiao could say anything, Yu Huang said, âYou canât blame Brother Xiao for this. At least a hundred women in this world covet Brother Xiao. Is it his fault for being too charming? So, you donât have to glare at my man like this.â
Sheng Xiao looked at Yu Huang in satisfaction.
Xuanyuan Chen felt even sadder when he heard that Yu Huang was protecting Sheng Xiao. âWomen are so heartless.â Xuanyuan Chen pressed his face against the cold knife and sighed drunkenly. âMy knife is better.â
Yu Huang tapped her fingers on the table and suddenly said, âHave you ever thought that Luoluo still loves you but has other difficulties?â
Xuanyuan Chen subconsciously shook his head and said, âImpossible.â However, when he saw Yu Huangâs extremely meaningful gaze that seemed to be hinting at a secret, his eyes suddenly widened. âYouâre sayingâ¦â Xuanyuan Chen thought of Ji Linyuanâs character and thought of some fishy aspects.
Ji Linyuan was the acting Patriarch of the Yin Clan. He was already a Grand Master powerhouse at such a young age. If he wanted to find a young, beautiful, and rich female Beast Tamer, he could attract a group of eligible girls with a wave of his hand.
In Xuanyuan Chenâs eyes, Liuli Luoluo was naturally a goddess. But to Ji Linyuan, Liuli Luoluo was just a young and beautiful girl.
Why should he compete with a group of young men for Liuli Luoluo?
Xuanyuan Chen took a deep look at Yu Huang. He suddenly stood up with his knife and said, âIâm already sober. Thank you for your concern.â With that said, Xuanyuan Chen walked toward cabin 1 alone. He took large strides at a fast pace, and he no longer looked dispirited.
Yu Huang stared at Xuanyuan Chenâs back and knew that he had thought it through.
Yu Huang rolled her eyes at Sheng Xiao. âBrother Xiao, youâre quite charming.â
Sheng Xiao didnât feel guilty. He said, âThere are many women who admire me, but I only admire one. I know who is more charming.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yu Huang felt pleased by Sheng Xiaoâs compliment. âAlright, take a nap. When we enter the Kunlun Mystic Realm tomorrow, you wonât be able to sleep even if you want to.â
âYes.â
When they arrived at the Holy Spirit Academy, it was already dark.
Yu Huang arrived at Di Ruofengâs office and saw that Di Ruofeng was arranging the files. He had placed the information of the students who had registered to participate in the Kunlun Mystic Realm in the same file bag. Seeing that Yu Huang had arrived, Di Ruofeng said, âA total of 120 students will participate in the mystic realmâs training.â
