Zhu Zhuqing didn't hear what they were saying; she only knew it was time for her to go to work.
Once the two of them had stopped, she quietly approached and gently tugged at Xiao Wu's sleeve.
Xiao Wu turned around alertly and looked at Zhu Zhuqing: "Who are you? What do you want? I won't give you this position."
Zhu Zhuqing felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this, as she was misunderstood as trying to steal a seat.
She leaned closer to Xiao Wu and whispered, "Can you come with me for a moment? I have something to tell you."
Xiao Wu looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a puzzled expression. She was certain that she did not know this person!
Tang Shan was standing right next to them, so he naturally heard their conversation.
Seeing that the other person was also a girl, he didn't stop her, but he was also a little curious: what exactly did this person want to do?
Xiao Wu looked at Tang Shan, seeking his opinion with his eyes.
Since it was just a few words, Tang Shan didn't pay much attention and nodded, saying, "Go on, come back quickly, it's our turn to register soon."
So, Zhu Zhuqing led Xiao Wu to the entrance of the Supreme Academy across the street and finally spoke:
"Your name is Xiao Wu, right?"
Xiao Wu was stunned. In this remote village, someone actually knew her name?
Has her reputation as the "big sister" spread this far?
Chapter 19 Third Brother, how about we switch to another academy?
"Who are you? How do you know me? What do you want with me?"
Xiao Wu fired off a series of questions, his eyes filled with wariness.
Zhu Zhuqing was not good with words to begin with, and she was even more at a loss when asked this question.
She pointed to the newly hung plaque behind her and said honestly, "I am a student of the Supreme Academy, and my teacher would like to invite you to join our academy."
She added, "Why don't you meet him? He's right there in the yard. Let him explain everything to you in detail."
Xiao Wu became more alert and subconsciously took two steps back.
"No, thank you for the invitation, but we already have a college we plan to go to." With that, she turned to leave.
Zhu Zhuqing became anxious.
If the task is not completed, the teacher will be disappointed.
She had never done this kind of job in her life, and felt like she was a pimp.
There was no other way; she wasn't good with words, so she could only try to coax the person over first, and then leave the rest to the teacher.
"Just one meeting, but I won't let you down..."
Just as Xiao Wu was about to refuse again, before he could even utter a word, he saw a person slowly walking out of the courtyard.
It was Jiang Yunzhou.
He had clear, bright eyes, a handsome face, and a faint smile on his lips, giving him an appearance that naturally made people lower their guard.
Not to mention the 99 charm points boosted by the system.
Xiao Wu was unconsciously stunned, his eyes somewhat dazed, and for a moment he was lost in thought.
This man is really handsome.
Hmm, making friends doesn't seem so bad?
But Jiang Yunzhou didn't intend to just be friends.
He smiled at Xiao Wu and said in a gentle voice, "Hello, I'm Jiang Yunzhou. Do you have time to chat for a bit?"
He only showed up because he saw that Zhu Zhuqing couldn't handle it.
"Huh? Um, oh, what, what do you want to talk about?" Xiao Wu's ears turned slightly red, and she didn't even realize that her tone had softened a bit.
This usually fearless and wild girl surprisingly showed a hint of shyness.
She couldn't explain it herself, but she felt a strange attraction to this person, even stronger than that to her third brother.
"If you don't mind, would you like to come in and sit for a while?"
He glanced at the person opposite him, and his eyes lit up.
Turning to Zhu Zhuqing, who was still somewhat dazed, he said, "Zhuqing, look behind you, the girl in the lace-trimmed skirt has arrived too. Go and invite her over."
Zhu Zhuqing then came to her senses. She had originally wanted to secretly learn how the teacher "poached" people.
After hearing Jiang Yunzhou's words, he knew he had to go to work again, so he could only nod and turn to find Ning Rongrong.
Xiao Wu followed Jiang Yunzhou into the courtyard in a daze.
Before she could even sit down, she heard the other person's voice again, calm yet clear:
"Xiao Wu, Martial Soul: Soft Bone Enchanting Rabbit, from... Star Trek Great Forest."
He had already confirmed that no one was around, so Jiang Yunzhou decided to be direct and revealed her identity.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu froze on the spot, his face drained of color, filled with unease and shock.
She stared at Jiang Yunzhou with wide eyes, as if looking at a terrifying demon.
She wanted to escape, yet she couldn't help but want to know...
She mustered her courage, her voice trembling uncontrollably: "Who...who are you? How do you know all this..."
Since Jiang Yunzhou had already made his point clear, Xiao Wu felt there was no point in pretending to be confused.
It's better to ask directly.
She was filled with unease: How could her identity have been exposed? He was a titled Douluo? But he was so young... wait, could he also be a Soul Beast?
Since he even knows she comes from the Star Trek Great Forest, he must know even more...
Jiang Yunzhou maintained his composed smile: "I know all your secrets. But don't worry, I don't intend to do anything to you. I've only asked you here to inquire whether you'd like to join my Supreme Academy?"
He paused briefly, then his tone became more serious: "In other words, I want to take you as my apprentice."
Whether or not to join the academy is another matter; that's not what Xiao Wu is most concerned about right now.
She just wanted to know how he knew her identity.
"I want to know, how do you know about me?"
She had a bad feeling: This place is no longer safe. Is it too late to escape now? Should she just kowtow to him?
Jiang Yunzhou didn't answer her question directly, but instead dropped another bombshell:
"Let me tell you a secret."
"Actually, you were already being targeted by a titled Douluo when you were six years old, but you never realized it yourself."
He said that to deliberately hang a knife in her heart.
Xiao Wu felt a chill run down his spine and his scalp tingle.
"You...you're not lying to me? Why are you telling me all this..."
"I'm just giving you a heads-up! If you ever encounter danger in the future, you can come to me, and I'll protect you."
"Okay, don't be so nervous, or you'll wet your pants. I won't tell anyone your secret."
"I'll stay here for a month. Come find me anytime you've figured things out."
While the two were talking, Tang Shan outside was getting impatient.
What is it that requires such a long discussion?
The girl in black was clearly within his sight, but Xiao Wu followed a strange man into the courtyard, making him extremely uneasy.
As time ticked by, a sudden tightness gripped his heart, and he could no longer contain himself, finally breaking away from the group.
He stormed straight into the courtyard where the Supreme Academy was located.
Upon entering the courtyard, Tang Shan saw Xiao Wu talking quietly with a strange man, and a wave of displeasure washed over him.
He squinted at Jiang Yunzhou, his eyes revealing undisguised hostility, then turned to Xiao Wu and said, "Xiao Wu, it's time to go, it's almost our turn to register."
He noticed that Xiao Wu seemed dazed and absent-minded, and even his body was trembling slightly.
My first thought was whether she had been bullied by this man.
He strode forward, shielding Xiao Wu behind him, and questioned Jiang Yunzhou in a cold, hard tone: "What did you do to her?"
Xiao Wu, fearing his secret would be exposed, quickly grabbed Tang Shan's sleeve and explained, "Third Brother, I'm fine. He didn't do anything to me. Let's go back."
She was extremely anxious, wondering if Tang Shan had heard what she had just said.
Jiang Yunzhou remained calm and composed, chuckled lightly, and waved to Xiao Wu: "Remember what I said. The choice is yours."
Tang Shan was completely baffled, while Xiao Wu became increasingly preoccupied.
She had only just arrived when not only was her identity exposed, but she also learned that she had been secretly watched by a titled Douluo.
Thinking about all this, she felt a chill run through her body.
She'd had enough of living in constant fear all these years.
She even wished that Jiang Yunzhou was just lying to her.
"Xiao Wu, who exactly is that person? What did he say? Why are you acting so strangely all of a sudden?"
Tangshan pressed for answers, but each question hit the nail on the head regarding Xiao Wu's unspeakable secret.
"Third Brother, I'm really alright..."
She continued in a low voice, "How about we switch to another college?"
Compared to the allure of Jiang Yunzhou, Xiao Wu chose safety.
Chapter 20 This man is my type!
Xiao Wu just wants to escape now, to get as far away from here as possible.
This place made her feel uneasy.
