Actually, Lin Xian hadn't meant to humiliate Ye Zhiqiu earlier.
The main reason was simple—
the guy had dropped a purple card.
He just needed to get close enough to collect it.
It seemed that for minor supporting characters, purple was already the upper limit.
A bit disappointing, honestly.
—
On the other side, among the four battered brothers, only Ma Hongjun dropped a white card.
Not bad overall—two more cards in one day.
A decent haul.
—
"Let's go back and eat," Lin Xian said casually. "I barely had a few bites earlier."
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu nodded, following him back to the hotel.
Oscar, who hadn't been beaten too badly, gradually recovered and even made sausages for the others.
Zhao Wuji didn't interfere.
They had to rely on themselves.
—
Dai Mubai watched Lin Xian's departing figure, then pulled the others closer.
"Tonight, we're having a private meeting."
"Some people don't want us to have it easy—so we won't let him off either."
The others nodded.
They would talk later.
—
Meanwhile, the Canghui Academy group fled with Ye Zhiqiu, grateful to escape alive.
—
Inside the private room, Ning Rongrong stared fixedly at Lin Xian.
"…Why are you staring at me while I'm eating?"
"That Martial Soul Fusion Skill… is that also your ability?"
"We can both use it. I just took the lead."
Ning Rongrong leaned forward, eyes shining.
"Then… can I have that kind of power too?"
She truly longed for it.
As a support-type Spirit Master, she still wanted to fight.
Zhu Zhuqing's Dark Night Star Armor had completely ignited her imagination.
How could the proud Little Witch accept being just a "weak support"?
—
Lin Xian smiled.
"Of course you can."
"…Really?!"
"But your probation period isn't over yet. We'll talk later."
Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up instantly.
So there was a chance!
She could become just as powerful—
Just thinking about it made her excited.
Looks like she needed to perform well.
Starting now.
—
With Ning Rongrong's enthusiastic "service," Lin Xian could only describe his state as…
painfully enjoyable.
—
Xiao Wu watched silently, her small fists clenched.
No one knew what she was thinking.
—
After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms.
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu shared one.
Rongrong hummed cheerfully.
Xiao Wu, however, seemed distracted.
—
"Xiao Wu… you and Tang San…"
Ning Rongrong had noticed it for a while.
At first, Xiao Wu couldn't leave Tang San's side.
But now…
"Don't mention him," Xiao Wu said coldly. "I really, really hate him right now."
"It's fine," Ning Rongrong waved it off. "Breakups are normal. The next one will be better—and more obedient!"
Though she had zero experience, she spoke with absolute confidence.
Xiao Wu couldn't help but laugh.
Her mood improved slightly.
—
"Xiao Wu, your legs are so long… I'm jealous."
"I'm jealous of your cute face."
Then, almost instinctively, they both said:
"And Zhu Zhuqing's chest!"
They looked at each other—
then sighed in unison.
The road ahead was long…
—
Meanwhile, in the boys' room—
The four sat in a circle.
Dai Mubai spoke first:
"We can't let that guy keep acting arrogant. We have to deal with him."
Ma Hongjun nodded immediately.
"He dares compete with you for Zhu Zhuqing? He's asking for death."
Oscar added, "I'll help too. Leave Ning Rongrong to me—I like her."
All eyes turned to Tang San.
He hesitated.
Dai Mubai pressed:
"If you keep hesitating, Xiao Wu might run off with someone else."
That image flashed in Tang San's mind—
Xiao Wu falling into Lin Xian's arms.
His expression hardened.
"…Fine. I'll cooperate."
—
With Tang San on board, Dai Mubai felt confident.
"Teacher Zhao is around, so we can't act openly."
"We'll lure him out."
"And separate Zhu Zhuqing—otherwise their fusion makes them unbeatable."
He looked at Tang San.
"That part is up to you."
"…Me?"
"Can Xiao Wu be trusted?"
"Of course!"
Tang San answered without hesitation.
"Good. Talk to her. After we return, find a chance to lure Zhu Zhuqing away."
—
Dai Mubai paused, then added:
"Or… use charm to lure Lin Xian directly."
Tang San's face darkened.
"Don't worry. We'll be watching."
Tang San clenched his fists.
"…Fine. I'll talk to Xiao Wu."
—
After the meeting ended, Tang San acted immediately.
But as he passed a corridor—
a door opened.
He froze.
It was Xiao Wu.
She looked around cautiously before stepping out.
Tang San frowned.
So late… what is she doing?
He silently followed.
—
Xiao Wu moved carefully through the hallway, stopping at a corner.
These were single rooms.
Why was she here?
—
Then she stopped in front of a door.
Tang San's pupils shrank.
That room…
It was—
Lin Xian's room.
