Qiu'er's voice trembled slightly, carrying a sense of shock, as if a corner of her Worldview had shattered, from a huge blow.
Gu Yue's steps halted, her previously somewhat dazed consciousness completely clear at this moment.
She had originally only wanted to leave this place, which made her feel deeply humiliated and disheveled, as quickly as possible, forgetting how unsightly her current appearance was.
However, who would have thought that as soon as she stepped out, she would run directly into Qiu'er, the person she least wanted to see.
She subconsciously wanted to step forward to explain, but her soaked shirt and torn jacket made her stop.
A silver light flickered, and pure elemental Energy quickly flowed around her, temporarily condensing into a simple set of clothes to conceal her figure, covering her internal disarray.
Gu Yue looked at Qiu'er, her expression returning to its usual calm demeanor, and called out, "Qiu'er."
Qiu'er did not answer immediately, still staring blankly at Gu Yue.
Her gaze seemed to penetrate the elemental illusion of clothing, seeing the true disheveled appearance beneath. After a while, she spoke with a trembling voice, "Young MissGu Yue, what happened to you?"
"Nothing, I just accidentally got into a bit of a mess."
"But your clothes just now—"
"I said, it's nothing." Gu Yue's tone was flat as she interrupted Qiu'er's words. After a slight pause, she said indifferently, "The Kong Family Chamber of Commerce and the Star Dou Great Forest have already signed a contract. I will return to the Star Dou Great Forest for now."
With that, without waiting for Qiu'er to ask anything further, a silver light flashed around Gu Yue, and her figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only a subtle spatial fluctuation in the air.
Qiu'er stood dumbfounded, but in her mind, the scene she had just witnessed replayed uncontrollably.
You tell me that was nothing, that it was an accident? This doesn't look right at all!
From the very beginning, Young MissGu Yue was acting strangely. First, she made them all leave, talking to that scoundrel alone. After talking, she ignored her and just left with that scoundrel.
Young MissGu Yue stayed in the laboratory for several hours, and when she came out, she was still in that state.
All these circumstances pointed to a fact she was unwilling to believe.
At a certain moment, she suddenly raised her head, anger burning in her red pupils, staring intently at Kong Mingan, who had just poked his head out of the laboratory door to watch the commotion.
Kong Mingan: "??"
Is she about to hiss?
...Meanwhile, at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, in Gu Yue's dormitory.
The space rippled slightly, and Gu Yue's figure appeared.
No sooner had she appeared than she dispersed the elemental clothes she had conjured, then quickly took off her torn jacket, inner shirt, and tights.
Raising her hand, dense water elements naturally gathered, then meticulously wiped her body clean, healing the bruises on her wrists and ankles simultaneously.
Opening the wardrobe, Gu Yue took out a clean and tidy Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy uniform and put it on piece by piece.
A moment later, Gu Yue stood in front of the full-length mirror, looking at her reflection—dressed appropriately, with a cold and indifferent demeanor, exactly as usual. She unconsciously breathed a slight sigh of relief.
However, after a brief pause, those memories surged again, and a strange tactile sensation returned to her chest, wrists, and ankles.
An inexplicable sense of humiliation mixed with indignant shame filled her body, making her feel uncomfortable.
After a while, Gu Yue calmed her emotions. She looked at herself in the mirror, now back to normal, and was about to leave when she suddenly remembered Qiu'er.
Pausing slightly, she opened the Spiritual Pivot Network and sent a few messages to a certain fellow.
Then, after her expression changed several times due to the other party's replies, Gu Yue closed the Spiritual Pivot Network. Subsequently, a silver light flashed, and she disappeared from the dormitory... Meanwhile, at the Kong Family Chamber of Commerce, inside the laboratory,
Qiu'er still stared intently at Kong Mingan, her golden eyes showing a mix of wariness and questioning: "What exactly did you do to Young MissGu Yue?!"
Kong Mingan glanced at her, then refocused his attention on the constantly circulating samples of destructive divine force and Life Qi in front of him, perfunctorily replying without raising his head, "I didn't do anything."
"Didn't do anything?" Qiu'er frowned, her voice rising slightly, "You tell me that's 'didn't do anything'?! Young MissGu Yue's clothes were like that! And she had those marks on her body! Is that 'didn't do anything'?!"
Kong Mingan couldn't be bothered to answer, most of his attention on the samples in front of him.
Seeing Kong Mingan's indifferent attitude, Qiu'er couldn't help but subconsciously reach out to grab him and question him.
However, no sooner had her hand extended than an dark red Energy chain silently emerged from the spatial ripples beside her, directly Binding her wrist and fixing her in place.
Qiu'er stumbled, turning to look at the chain emanating a cold Asura aura. She pulled hard with her hand, but it didn't budge.
"No. If you have the ability, let me go!"
Qiu'er turned to hiss.
Kong Mingan summoned his two blood-red hundred-thousand-year spirit rings. While thoughtfully observing the spirit ring structures with the destructive divine force and Life Qi samples, he casually replied, "Haven't you already seen whether I have the ability or not?"
Qiu'er paused. She was too angry and momentarily forgot that she couldn't defeat him. If she really made a move, she would probably be severely bullied and then thrown back onto the bed like a toy to lie there for a few days.
Gritting her teeth, Qiu'er said defiantly, "Then tell me, what exactly did you do to Young MissGu Yue?!"
"It was merely healing." Kong Mingan calmly stated the facts.
"Healing?! You tell me that was healing?!"
Qiu'er felt that this guy was talking nonsense with his eyes wide open, her small face scrunched up in anger. One hand tugged futilely at the chain, while the other stretched out, trying to grab Kong Mingan's clothes, but always just missed.
Kong Mingan did not reply, his attention temporarily focused on the spirit rings in front of him.
He lightly tapped his fingertips, and the two originally blood-red spirit rings beside him quickly faded in color, transforming into two translucent spirit ring outlines.
Then, guided by Kong Mingan's fingertips, a wisp was separated from each of the two samples of destructive divine force and Life Qi, and then precisely placed into these two translucent spirit rings.
In an instant, the two spirit rings glowed and gradually gained color.
One transformed into a dark purple spirit ring filled with destructive aura, while the other transformed into an emerald green spirit ring overflowing with life force.
He thoughtfully overlapped the two spirit rings, feeling the mutual repulsion yet subtle balance of attraction between them. A hint of contemplation flashed in Kong Mingan's eyes.
It seems quite promising?
Thinking this, Kong Mingan's attention returned to Qiu'er: "I really didn't do anything to her, just helped her heal her injuries. If you don't believe me, you can ask her yourself."
Qiu'er froze.
If she could ask her, why would she come to him!
After a slight pause, Qiu'er instead asked, "Then what exactly is the content of the contract you signed with Young MissGu Yue?"
Kong Mingan answered according to the Dragon King Young Miss's request:
"It's just an equal contract."
Protagonist to Qiu'er: You wouldn't want your Young MissGu Yue to be bullied, would you?
Protagonist to Gu Yue: You wouldn't want your respected and dependent junior to be bullied, would you?
PS: It's strange, but inexplicably interesting. Who do you think will be first, Qiu'er or Gu Yue, and then who will join the eavesdropping group?
