The three of them had just arrived at the academy gate when they unexpectedly bumped into Jiang Yunzhou and Xiao Wu, who were returning home.
But why is Xiao Wu supporting a strange, down-on-her-luck girl?
Could it have been picked up on the street?
Upon seeing Jiang Yunzhou, the three women's eyes instantly lit up with excitement.
Tang Yuehua smiled, unable to hide her joy.
"Yunzhou! You're back!"
Jiang Yunzhou returned the smile and said, "Yes, I'm back."
Liu Erlong was equally excited, but just as she was about to go forward to greet them, she stopped herself.
With so many people watching, although their relationship is already at a distance, it is still not public knowledge.
At this moment, she couldn't afford to be too intimate.
But her eyes held not only joy, but also resentment. She said, "Dean Jiang, you've really kept us waiting!"
If you listen carefully, you can even hear the faint sound of teeth grinding.
Jiang Yunzhou naturally realized that the woman was probably upset that he had left without saying goodbye.
His gaze was quickly drawn to Alan, and he immediately narrowed his eyes.
He thought to himself: This aura seems familiar, who is this person?
Ah Lan's gaze never left him from the beginning, and her tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed when she saw him.
After waiting for more than two months, I finally met this person.
She had so much to say to him, but now seemed like the wrong time.
"Hello, Dean Jiang, my name is A-Lan." She silently added in her mind: Long time no see.
Filled with curiosity, Jiang Yunzhou immediately activated his Netherworld Eyes, a strange light flashing in his eyes, allowing him to clearly see Alan's true form.
"Ugh, oh... damn it!"
After confirming her identity, they suddenly realized: no wonder they couldn't find her in the Lan Yin tribe's territory; she had already transformed and come here.
But the way she's looking at me right now... something's off?
Is your name Alan? What's wrong? Why did you even change your name?
Chapter 131 I Want to Be With You Forever
Now that he had seen through her identity, he naturally wanted to have a chat. He chuckled and turned to instruct Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, take Zi Ling to freshen up first."
Xiao Wu was confused and couldn't understand what was going on, so he had no choice but to take Zi Ling into the academy first.
Hearing Jiang Yunzhou's tone, Alan felt a pang of sadness in her heart: "Well, maybe I should... I'll go first."
Suddenly, she seemed to lack the courage to face him again, fearing rejection.
Tang Yuehua grabbed her immediately.
"Hey hey hey~~ Little Blue, where do you want to go?"
"Didn't you say there was some misunderstanding between you? You've been waiting for so long just to wait for him?"
"Now that he's back, you're leaving again? What are you really thinking?"
Jiang Yunzhou also spoke up: "Since we're already here, why don't we chat for a bit before we talk?"
Liu Erlong and Tang Yuehua were completely baffled. If the two knew each other, Jiang Yunzhou looked at them like complete strangers.
It's hard to say they don't know each other, but it also feels like there's a story between them.
I don’t understand, I really don’t understand.
There's a feeling that the two of them know each other, but not very well!
"Yunzhou, what's going on here?" Tang Yuehua asked.
Jiang Yunzhou looked at Liu Erlong and Tang Yuehua and said, "Why don't you two go in first, and I'll have a chat with her for a bit?"
He didn't know how these three people got together, but it seemed rather interesting.
Liu Erlong narrowed her eyes: Does this bastard think she's in the way? Is he fickle? I was only used for one night, and he's already considered an old hand?
Damn it! Why is my life so miserable?
Tang Yuehua didn't think much of it. She glanced at A, nodded slightly, and pulled Liu Erlong into the academy together.
There was no one else around, only the two of them.
"Why did you change your name?" Jiang Yunzhou suddenly asked.
Upon hearing this, Ah Lan was at a loss. She hadn't expected to be recognized so easily. Had something gone wrong?
"How did you recognize me?"
“I have my own way. Of course, I haven’t forgotten your aura either. Tell me, what are you doing here? And how did you get to know Yuehua and Erlong?”
After asking the question, he fixed his gaze on her, waiting for her answer.
"I...I came to find you..."
Then, she briefly told him what had happened since she arrived there.
Jiang Yunzhou nodded after listening; there was nothing particularly special about it.
"Well, now that you've found the person, what are your plans next?"
Alan looked at Jiang Yunzhou, mustered her courage, and said, "If, if you don't mind me, I hope you can take me in."
She truly has nowhere else to go.
If Jiang Yunzhou insists on not taking her in, then she will have no choice but to find a place to live in seclusion.
She was thinking of just throwing caution to the wind and saying everything she wanted to say, believing that a short, sharp pain was better than a long, drawn-out one.
Because the feeling of being anxious and uncertain is just too unbearable.
After she finished speaking, she stared at Jiang Yunzhou with incredibly expectant eyes, longing for the answer she wanted.
Jiang Yunzhou chuckled softly and said, "Oh? Is that really what you think? Then how long do you plan to keep you here?"
Her tone was firm, but also expectant and inquiring.
"I...I want to...forever...is that okay?"
Jiang Yunzhou was taken aback; he hadn't expected Alan to be so direct.
However, it must be said: "She can stay. But I don't like women who still have someone else in their hearts."
Upon hearing this, Alan panicked and hurriedly explained, "I didn't. You once told me something: 'Give me a second chance at life,' and you told me to live for myself... so I did as you said."
“I’ve come to you because I want the life I want. I want to tell you that I’ve let go of the past and I want to start over.”
"Are you... willing to believe me?"
Jiang Yunzhou believed it, of course. It just so happened that he was thinking about who to bind his ninth soul ring to, and now he had a candidate.
It's not that I haven't considered Liu Erlong and the others, but since he's already given me a hint, I should consider others first for now.
In comparison, Alan in front of me is more suitable, and her qualification rating is also quite high.
"Alright, I'll trust you this once. You can stay at the academy for now."
"However, you need an identity to stay in the academy. So, after a while, I will take you as my disciple."
Alan was dumbfounded after hearing this. Was he going to ask her to be his apprentice?
No, I'm so blatantly delivering this to his door to warm his bed, does he really not understand, or is he just pretending not to?
Isn't it said that men pretend to know what they don't, while women are the exact opposite?
Somewhat unwillingly, she pressed on, "Be your apprentice? No, don't you think being something else would be better? Like...?"
"Oh? Like what?" Jiang Yunzhou asked with a sly smile.
Alan's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head, whispering, "I...I...didn't I just say that I want to be with you forever..."
She had already made herself very clear, so she didn't believe he hadn't understood what she meant.
Jiang Yunzhou chuckled inwardly. He'd take her as his apprentice first, and whether they ended up together would depend on her performance.
"Well, think about it some more, we'll talk about it later. Let's settle it like this for now. I'll give you the status of an apprentice, and you'll understand later that being an apprentice is actually quite good."
Upon hearing this, Alan suddenly realized that his disciples were indeed somewhat too extraordinary.
Is this why he insisted on giving himself the status of an apprentice? Is this also a different kind of care?
Yes, he definitely has feelings for me!
After imagining it, she suddenly felt much better, and a bright smile returned to her face.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, but what I said before... I meant it!" She lowered her head, her ear tips already turning red.
Jiang Yunzhou avoided her question and continued talking about something else: "By the way, where did Lan Yinwang go?"
This question solidified the idea that Alan had just conjured up in his mind.
Jiang Yunzhou did indeed go to the Starry Sky Forest to look for her, otherwise he wouldn't have known about the situation there.
"After I regained my human form, it offered itself as a sacrifice to me..."
"The first spirit ring?"
"Yes, the first spirit ring can grow."
Jiang Yunzhou nodded secretly. It's good that he can grow!
"It's great. Although I thought so at first, it's really good. This Orchid Silver King is truly a fine herb!"
Alan's lips twitched slightly as she thought: Lan Yinwang was simply unable to defy the Emperor's will. Did you really think that it was because of a few words from you that he willingly sacrificed himself?
But she wouldn't say it out loud; as long as the man is happy, that's all that matters.
Jiang Yunzhou led Alan into the academy, when he suddenly thought of someone.
"By the way, Xiao Lan, have you met Uncle Dugu?"
