Feeling the sharp gazes around him, Chen Mobai started to feel restless.
“Well, it’s quite a coincidence. Your class also came here for the farewell
dinner.”
At these words, the Qing Women burst into laughter.
“Let’s talk after eating, I am heading upstairs.
The students from the Number 1 High School of Xianmen had reserved private rooms on the second floor. The Qing Women intended to turn around and go upstairs after greeting Chen Mobai.
“I’ve arranged to meet someone after I finish eating. I’m a bit busy, let’s
arrange some other time.”
Recalling his arrangement with Yan Bingxuan to discuss the “Cold Ice Technique”, Chen Mobai rejected Qing Women’s invitation to talk after eating.
His response left everyone in the room stunned, including Qing Women. She understood Chen Mobai’s personality – casual in his words when dealing with things he didn’t really care about, so she could only shrug helplessly.
“Alright then, call me when you’re free.”
Chen Mobai had broken through to the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, so the
Rank-1 intermediate-grade Qi-replenishing Spirit Water was ineffective for him Therefore lately, Qing Women had been refining the upper-grade version. But due to lack of experience, she failed many times. However, yesterday she had been lucky and made a successful batch with the assistance of Spiritual Extract. So, she wanted to celebrate at a fish restaurant with her supplicant.
In fact, she wished to taste the fish Chen Mobai had brought from the Water Mansion as its taste was something hard to forget.
“Okay, I’ll invite you later.”
Chen Mobai thought he would be preoccupied with practicing the Cold Ice Technique and honing his magic duel skills in Yun Meng Ze in the upcoming period, or selling items to earn Spirit Stones, so he might not have the spare time to return to the Water Mansion. That’s why he postponed meeting with the Qing Women.
Hiss!
The irritating remarks made Lu Hongsheng gasp. He stared wide-eyed at Chen Mobai in disbelief, like he was meeting him for the first time, repeatedly glancing back and forth between Qing Women and Chen Mobai.
Not only him, the adolescent boys and girls from the Number 1 High School of Xianmen who came along with Qing Women also clenched their fists involuntarily, staring coldly at Chen Mobai, who was playing with his phone after finishing his conversation.
“Qing Women, is he your friend?”
An elegant boy came over. Dressed in white Chinese-style clothes and holding a sharp posture, he appeared extraordinary.
“Uh, yes, he’s my…”
At this point, Qing Women felt she had chosen an inappropriate time to greet Chen Mobai. If she said he was her supplicant, it could lead to misunderstandings. But referring to him just as a friend could seem insincere.
For a moment, she didn’t know how to introduce him.
“Well, we’re friends with a very good relationship.
At this point, Chen Mobai spoke up to defuse the awkwardness. He looked up from his phone and met eyes with the elegant boy.
“Nice to meet you, I am Gong Xiangyu, the class president and a comrade of
Qing Women.”
As he finished his introduction, Chen Mobai’s classmates couldn’t help but turn their gazes towards him.
This name was famous in high schools all over Red Sandstone City.
As a top-ranked student and a super genius in the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, he was adjudged the most promising candidate to enter any of the four Daoist Academies in the last decade, a real path seed.
“Wait, she’s… Qing Women!”
However, at this moment, Pu Jiangxue, the pretty girl sitting next to Chen Mobai blurted out when she picked out a more critical name. She widened her eyes in disbelief, looking at the gorgeous girl standing before her.
At her outcry, over half of the remaining classmates came back to their senses!
“Qing Women? Do you all know her?”
Not everyone knew the name of a Heavenly Spiritual Root. Lu Hongsheng was a little confused, thinking that Chen Mobai’s girlfriend was somebody everyone in the class knew already.
“Blockhead, she is the Heavenly Spiritual Root beneficiary who got a direct offer to Jumang Daoist Academy!”
Yu Shu, who was sitting next to Lu Hongsheng, couldn’t help but give him a nudge and told him about Qing Women’s background. 𝑓𝓻ℯ𝑒𝑤𝘦𝑏𝑛ℴ𝓋ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝓸𝓂
All the rest who didn’t know about Qing Women gasped as one!
All eyes turned towards the girl standing in front of Chen Mobai.
“I am Chen Mobai!”
Since Gong Xiangyu did make the introduction, Chen Mobai stood up. Under the gaze of all his classmates, he shook hands with the elegant boy.
“Hope to see you in the entrance exam for the Daoist Academies.”
Gong Xiangyu said slightly prickly.
“Oh.”
Chen Mobai replied.
And then they returned to their respective tasks.
Qing Women put her hands together and looked at Chen Mobai apologetically, then followed her classmates upstairs.
When they left, a stir arose among the remaining people in the class.
“Damn, Chen, you kept us in the dark big time!”
Lu Hongsheng was the first to speak, accusing Chen Mobai of hiding such big news as getting a girlfriend from him, a friend of three years.
“We’re just close friends, it hasn’t progressed to that point yet.”
Chen Mobai immediately rebutted. His relationship with Qing Women was indeed just at the level of friendship.
People like Lu Hongsheng who created a ruckus caused once jovial friends to feel awkward. Chen Mobai had a good partnership with Qing Women and wouldn’t want it to be misunderstood.
His true words, however, found no believers. All his classmates looked at him with envy and jealousy, thinking that Chen Mobai was showing off subtly.
Thus, this farewell dinner began with the eyes of everyone filled with envy towards Chen Mobai.
in the end, he could take it no longer and left early after paying his share to the class monitor.
“I also have something to do, I’ll be leaving first.”
After Chen Mobai left, Yan Bingxuan also stood up to leave.
But the other classmates didn’t connect her with Chen Mobai. After all, they thought that with a Heavenly Spiritual Root like Qing Women in his life now, Chen Mobai wouldn’t bother with other girls.
“Sorry about the trouble.”
At the exit of the hot pot restaurant, Chen Mobai greeted Yan Bingxuan with some embarrassment.
“It’s okay, I didn’t really want to attend this kind of occasion anyway. My teacher told me to experience these emotions before going to the Nature Studies Academy. He said that they provide a valuable emotional foundation for the future. That’s why I bothered coming here.
Yan Bingxuan nodded carelessly, pointed to a milk tea shop across the road, and suggested going there to chat in detail.
“Let’s change the place. In case classmates see us two sitting together, there’ll be more rumors.”
Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment and said something that surprised Yan Bingxuan.
“You’re afraid it will reach the ears of that Heavenly Spiritual Root girl.
“Not at all, you misunderstood. I am worried about affecting your reputation.” Chen Mobai laughed it off. Yan Bingxuan agreed sideways at his joke.
Both of them left the hot pot restaurant together.
From the second floor private room, Gong Xiangyu, who happened to be opening a window, saw all this. A description of Chen Mobai came to his mind:
“Scum..”
