Although the Xu family was a prominent family in Donghai City, they couldn't even make a ripple in front of Ye Xinglan, who possessed the aura of Shrek Academy.
It's one thing that her background is inferior to Ye Xinglan's, but the problem is that she can't even match Ye Xinglan's cultivation talent.
Xu Xiaoyan was quite clear about which was more valuable: the students of Class Zero in Donghai City or the disciples of Shrek Academy's inner court.
As for the origins of the descendants of the Star Crown Sect, Xu Xiaoyan completely ignored them.
"How about... we bring Sister Siduo over?"
Feeling immense pressure, Xu Xiaoyan muttered to herself, already planning to seek help from some powerful allies.
Wu Siduo was the first strong ally that Xu Xiaoyan thought of.
If she and Mu Xi were like lightly armed scouts in front of Ye Xinglan, then Wu Siduo, her cousin, was definitely a war goddess armed to the teeth who could change the course of the battle.
All the disciples of Shrek Academy are no match for their genius cousin, Wu Siduo; they're all just utterly defeated.
Of course, Xu Xiaoyan had considered bringing Gu Yue in, but she didn't dare to take the risk.
Gu Yue's attitude towards Su Mo has softened considerably, but Xu Xiaoyan is still unsure of Gu Yue's true intentions towards Su Mo.
What if Gu Yue is trying to provoke Tang Wulin by using Su Mo?
In that case, if she dares to try to matchmake Gu Yue and Su Mo, Gu Yue will definitely turn against her.
In order to prevent her friendship with Gu Yue from falling apart, Xu Xiaoyan had no choice but to choose the safer option, Wu Siduo.
During the month that Wu Siduo stayed at Su Mo's house to cultivate, her attitude towards Su Mo did not change significantly.
But Wu Siduo could not hide from Su Mo's infatuated and dreamy look when he was in a meditative state.
"Who is this?"
Ye Xinglan ignored Xu Xiaoyan and Mu Xi, who looked dejected, and instead turned her gaze to Gu Yue.
The only person on the field who could give Ye Xinglan a hard time was Gu Yue, who stood to the side with her arms crossed and looked on with amusement.
As a sword cultivator, even without Gu Yue making a move, Ye Xinglan could sense that Gu Yue was extraordinary.
Aside from a slight reaction upon first seeing her, the other party seemed to be watching the show with amusement, leaving Ye Xinglan unsure of Gu Yue's attitude for the time being.
"Spirit Pagoda, Ancient Moon!"
Gu Yue crossed her arms, glanced coldly at Ye Xinglan, and then spoke indifferently.
"So you're from the Spirit Pagoda. No wonder you have such an extraordinary aura."
Upon hearing the words "Spirit Pagoda," Ye Xinglan narrowed her eyes slightly as she sized up Gu Yue, a barely perceptible smile playing on her lips.
Gu Yue snorted coldly and did not respond.
Their gazes met briefly in the air, as if an invisible spark flashed through the air.
The atmosphere between Ye Xinglan and Gu Yue was gradually becoming strained.
Given that the previous events had already drawn everyone's attention to this place, Su Mo quickly stepped forward to ease the tension.
"Let's find a place to sit down and talk slowly."
"Ok!"
Ye Xinglan nodded seriously, then took out her soul communication device, glanced at it, and looked at Su Mo earnestly, "Then let's go to the Bund in Tianhai City for dinner first. After dinner, we can stroll back to the city center along the Bund."
As Ye Xinglan spoke, she sent her pre-prepared sightseeing guide to Su Mo via a text message.
Seeing that Ye Xinglan was actually chatting with him via QQ and there was nothing unusual about it, Su Mo immediately realized that Shen Yi must have deleted their chat history.
But it didn't matter to Su Mo.
Since Shen Yi has kept it a secret, I won't say anything more. Anyway, I'm not the one who will suffer.
However, Su Mo was stunned when she glanced at the message Ye Xinglan sent.
Ye Xinglan's sightseeing guide was filled with routes for couples' dates!
Whether it's the "Sea Breeze Kiss Revolving Restaurant" at the first stop, the "Lovers' Bridge Sea View Area" at the second stop, or the "Wish Ferris Wheel" marked with a heart symbol at the third stop, every place exudes a strong romantic atmosphere.
Su Mo froze on the spot, almost dropping the soul-guided communicator in his hand.
"You...you've gone way too far with this detail!"
Su Mo swallowed hard, his face full of black lines.
To be honest, if Su Mo were to go through all of Ye Xinglan's arrangements, he suspected he could just take her to a love hotel.
Moreover, the itinerary Ye Xinglan provided was incredibly detailed.
Not only are the flavors of each dish and the best photo angles for each attraction clearly marked, but there are also thoughtful little tips such as "suitable for couples to take photos" and "it is recommended to take a walk hand in hand".
"Ye Xinglan, your strategy guide..."
"what's wrong?"
Ye Xinglan tilted her head as if it were the most natural thing in the world, her tone gentle yet tinged with pride, "It's the first time I'm treating you to dinner, so I should at least be well-prepared, right?"
She made many preparations for this in-person meeting.
She had almost thoroughly researched everything about Tianhai City online before creating this nearly "perfect" sightseeing guide.
"..."
Su Mo's lips twitched, trying her best to ignore the three murderous gazes coming from behind her.
"Um... I think we should just find a place nearby and grab something to eat?"
Su Mo chuckled twice, attempting to end this impending silent war.
"No, the itinerary is already booked. I booked the Sea Breeze Kiss revolving restaurant a month in advance."
Ye Xinglan rejected Su Mo's suggestion without even thinking about it.
"A month in advance?!"
Upon hearing Ye Xinglan's answer, even Gu Yue, who had maintained her composure throughout, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
A month in advance, wasn't this when Wu Changkong had just told them they were going to participate in the Tianhai Grand Competition?
Chapter 123 Killing two birds with one stone
"Tsk!"
Gu Yue clicked her tongue inwardly, subtly raising Ye Xinglan's perceived danger level by one notch.
"let's go!"
Ye Xinglan ignored Gu Yue and reached out to take Su Mo's arm.
However, Xu Xiaoyan and Mu Xi were faster than her, each taking one of Su Mo's arms.
"..."
Ye Xinglan paused in mid-air with her outstretched hand, her smile becoming somewhat stiff, before she casually withdrew her hand.
Seeing Ye Xinglan's discomfiture, Xu Xiaoyan smiled sweetly, and even raised her voice a beat higher than usual, "Let's go, the Bund is so lively."
"Yeah, there aren't any good seats at the restaurant later."
Mu Xi moved closer to Su Mo, and then gave Ye Xinglan a provocative glance.
Ye Xinglan exhaled softly, her expression quickly returning to normal, a barely perceptible fighting spirit flashing in her eyes.
"Xu Xiaoyan, Mu Xi, right!"
"I'll remember you all."
Ye Xinglan remained outwardly calm, but in reality, she had already made a mental note of Xu Xiaoyan and Mu Xi.
Ye Xinglan did not forcefully take Su Mo's arm again. Instead, she walked to the front of the three of them, her back straight and her steps firm, as if she were announcing her presence to Xu Xiaoyan and Mu Xi.
Gu Yue, who was walking at the back, saw this scene and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
Although Ye Xinglan's attitude towards Su Mo was somewhat unexpected.
But it's not a big problem, everything is under control.
A large group of people headed towards the Bund of Tianhai City.
……
"Damn it!"
Back in the Shrek Academy members' private lounge, Yu Longxin slammed his fist into the wall, the terrifying force instantly creating a huge dent in the reinforced concrete wall.
The thought of his junior, Ye Xinglan, drawing her sword against him for the sake of an outsider filled Yu Longxin with a burning desire to kill Su Mo.
However, the loud noise that Yu Longxin made in the rest room immediately attracted the attention of the other Shrek team members who were still in the rest room.
"Yu Longxin, are you trying to die?!"
As Ning Yu walked out of the girls' lounge, a long red makeup stain still lingering near the corner of her mouth, she put her hands on her hips and started cursing at Yu Longxin.
The others in the team might fear and be wary of Yu Longxin, this prodigy from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, but Ning Yu was not afraid at all.
Ning Yu had almost finished her makeup and was ready to dress up beautifully and go shopping.
As a result, Yu Longxin, that lunatic, went crazy as soon as she came back, causing her to ruin her lip makeup.
As for why Yu Longxin was so angry, Ning Yu knew the reason without even thinking.
They must have gotten the short end of the stick from Ye Xinglan.
Ye Xinglan had previously left the group, saying she was going to visit her friends.
When Yu Longxin, that idiot, saw this, he insisted on bravely going to bring Ye Xinglan back in order to show off his own existence.
Now that Ye Xinglan hasn't returned with Yu Longxin, the outcome is self-evident.
Yu Longxin's face was gloomy. He glared at Ning Yu fiercely without saying a word.
"What's going on here?"
Shen Yi, who had just returned from chatting with Wu Changkong, was completely stunned when he saw the messy lounge and Yu Longxin's gloomy face, which looked like it could drip water.
She only went to talk to Wu Changkong about news about Su Mo and the others, so how did the harmonious group turn into this when she came back?
"Ning Yu, what exactly happened?"
