With the White Tiger Martial Soul, Dai Mubai was naturally arrogant.
He was used to speaking to others in that tone, and no one had ever dared to speak to him like that.
Earlier, a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master had been disrespectful to him, and if he hadn't taken a liking to the guy and shown mercy, the guy would probably have been finished.
Now, there was someone even more arrogant than that Blue Silver Grass Soul Master.
Dai Mubai sneered inwardly, his soul power surging within him, wanting to blast the person behind him away and then display the might of his White Tiger Martial Soul.
However, when he saw the cold look in Gu Yue Na's eyes, he dismissed the idea of attacking.
Although the beautiful woman's attitude wasn't good, he still wanted to try and win her over. It wouldn't be wise to fight with her friend.
Dai Mubai's face, which had just turned cold, suddenly broke into a smile again. He chuckled, "I apologize, I was out of line."
He turned around, his gaze falling on Ao Tian. Only then did he get a good look at Ao Tian's appearance.
He was startled. The young man who had put his arm around him was actually even more handsome.
Various thoughts flashed through Dai Mubai's mind as he speculated on Ao Tian's relationship with Gu Yue Na.
He smiled and said, "My friend, I apologize for my rudeness just now. My name is Dai Mubai. Many people in Soto City call me Young Master Dai. If you encounter any difficulties here in the future, you can come to Shrek Academy outside the south gate to find me. Young Master Dai still has some influence in Soto City."
After speaking, he gave Gu Yue Na a friendly smile and then walked back.
He wasn't giving up. He felt that if he missed out on such a ethereal girl, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Judging from the youthful faces of Ao Tian and the others, he guessed that they had come to Soto City to study.
As long as she was in Soto City, no matter which academy she attended, he'd find her.
With the pickup skills he'd honed over the years, a bit of persistence would be enough to win over this girl.
Therefore, he didn't want to make things too awkward during their first meeting; there would be plenty of opportunities later.
The two twin sisters looked at Dai Mubai as he walked back, their faces filled with resentment. "Mubai, you don't want us anymore?"
Dai Mubai smiled and didn't immediately answer the girls' question. Instead, he said, "Let's go upstairs and talk."
With that, he led the way upstairs. The two girls, lifting their skirts, swayed their sexy backsides as they followed.
Dai Mubai didn't think there was anything wrong with bringing the two girls upstairs in front of Gu Yue Na. After all, she had already seen everything, and he didn't need to put on any airs.
This was also because he was confident in himself, believing that he would definitely win Gu Yue Na's heart in the future.
Xiao Wu was panting heavily, almost bursting with anger. She fumed, "I can't believe there's such a scumbag in Shrek Academy! Bringing two girls to a hotel in broad daylight, indulging in such debauchery, and even trying to hit on Sister Na'er. It's infuriating."
"Ao Tian, why didn't you teach him a lesson?" Xiao Wu asked.
Ao Tian said, "You don't hit a man who's smiling. He's already apologized, so let's just let it go."
But that wasn't what he was thinking. Dealing with Dai Mubai could wait.
Since Dai Mubai dared to have designs on Gu Yue Na, how could Ao Tian let him off so easily?
Ao Tian turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing, finding her looking as if she had lost her soul. He asked, "Zhu Zhuqing, are you alright?"
Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath and forced a smile, "I'm fine."
Just now, when Dai Mubai showed his desire for other girls in front of her, Zhu Zhuqing had wanted to turn and leave.
She was very disappointed in Dai Mubai, extremely disappointed.
She and Dai Mubai both carried immense pressure from their families. If they couldn't surpass their older siblings after reaching adulthood, they would likely be eliminated.
For many years, Zhu Zhuqing had trained relentlessly, hoping to carve out a chance for survival.
Dai Mubai, as her fiancé, had left to train years ago, yet he had apparently become lost in the pursuit of women.
Zhu Zhuqing's fate had been intertwined with Dai Mubai's since she was very young, sharing in both triumph and ruin. Thinking about her years of ceaseless training while Dai Mubai indulged in a life of pleasure, an endless stream of grievances welled up within her.
Why?
Why should I pay for your downfall?
Zhu Zhuqing was a strong-willed and stubborn girl. At this moment, she even considered seeking revenge on Dai Mubai.
"Let's get a room first, or else they'll all be gone," Ao Tian said.
He walked toward the front desk. Gu Yue Na had already sensed Zhu Zhuqing's unusual mood, so she took her hand and followed Ao Tian.
"Give me three rooms," Ao Tian said.
"Sir, I'm very sorry, but we only have one room left. It's a double room with two large beds. You can consider it," the waiter said apologetically.
Ao Tian looked back at Gu Yue Na and Xiao Wu, and said, "Shall we go to another hotel?"
The waiter reminded him, "Sir, Soto City will become more and more lively in the next few days. If you go elsewhere now, you may not be able to find a place to stay. If you don't stay at our hotel, our rooms may be gone soon."
"Let's stay here," Gu Yue Na said.
She looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said, "Zhuqing, why don't we just make do for one night?"
Zhu Zhuqing was very confused at this moment. She didn't even hear what Gu Yue Na said, and nodded blankly.
Ao Tian quickly completed the formalities and went upstairs with the key.
After entering the room, Gu Yue Na pulled Zhu Zhuqing to sit down.
"Zhuqing, what's wrong?" Gu Yue Na asked.
She could sense Zhu Zhuqing's sadness and despair, as if it had been caused by the blond man just now.
Zhu Zhuqing removed her mask, her eyes already brimming with tears, but she stubbornly held them back.
"I'm fine." Her voice was choked with emotion.
Ao Tian ignored Zhu Zhuqing. He stood in the room, looking at the white walls, and suddenly revealed a deep smile.
Dai Mubai was actually in the room next door to them.
Zhu Zhuqing stood up and said, "I'm sorry, I might have to leave."
"Leave? Where are you going?" Xiao Wu asked in confusion.
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head, "I don't know, but at least, I won't be going to Shrek Academy."
"Why? You went through all that trouble to come here from the Star Luo Empire. Why give up all of a sudden?" Xiao Wu pressed, asking.
They had spent a day together, and she'd already formed a bit of a friendship with Zhu Zhuqing.
Xiao Wu could see it now: Zhu Zhuqing looked like she'd suffered a great deal of hardship.
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head, "It's got nothing to do with you."
She took out almost all her soul coins and handed them to Ao Tian, saying, "Thank you for bringing me here. This is almost all my money. If we have a chance to meet again in the future, I'll pay you back the rest."
Ao Tian sensed that Zhu Zhuqing's heart was like dead ashes, yet she was resolute.
He guessed that Zhu Zhuqing wanted to confront Dai Mubai.
As for whether Zhu Zhuqing would choose to forgive or sever ties after the confrontation, that was beyond Ao Tian's ability to predict.
