"You're just bullying an honest senior sister." Bai Xiao'e didn't start to feel normal again until now, getting over the strange sensation that contact had brought.
Her constitution was somewhat special, unusually sensitive, she would never have skin contact with her enemy during a fight.
Luo Yu glanced at her, then strode away.
Just like that, he's leaving?
Bai Xiao'e obviously hesitated for a moment. Her hesitant demeanor and her talent were equally outstanding. Not to mention at Chuan Province Martial University, countless martial artists from various Martial Universities pursued her. Who wouldn't want to spend some time alone with her? Yet, she wasn't interested. Now, she took the initiative to approach a man and ended up being spurned?
"Come back!" Bai Xiao'e shouted in embarrassed annoyance.
Luo Yu wasn't about to pay her any mind.
Muttering to himself in his mind.
Crazy, are we even that familiar?
He had just offended the student council; he didn't want to have too much to do with its members. After all, the streets were dangerous, and as a dedicated reader of novels, he knew that some enemies would stop at nothing to get at you. Not even poisoning you through a beautiful woman's group was beyond them.
"Swoosh—"
A lovely figure flashed in front of him, Bai Xiao'e stopped in front of Luo Yu, took a breath, and began:
"Alright, it wasn't a big deal to begin with, I won't hide it from you anymore."
"As for me, besides having a higher attractiveness and stronger abilities, I have a special talent that allows me to sense things that normal people can't detect."
"I think you could do without the first half of your statement." Luo Yu spread his hands.
Bai Xiao'e rolled her eyes: "I'm just a confident little fairy, what about it?"
"I can sense that you're deeply hidden, probably more than anyone else realizes. Your true strength or talent is terrifyingly formidable."
"Honestly, I find this conclusion unbelievable myself. I even doubted if my perception was wrong, but for countless years, my special perceptive talent has never been mistaken. This can only mean that you're freakishly abnormal."
"I suspect you're taking this opportunity to insult me." Luo Yu was surprised inwardly; Great Xia indeed had an abundance of talent, he had already encountered someone with a special talent.
"I advised Xue Can not to provoke you, but he is as stubborn as a mule, a dead ghost who can't be stopped. There's nothing I could do." Bai Xiao'e said helplessly, "And Chairman Qin, not to mention, with his character, even if he can't see your hidden abilities, he wouldn't care if he actually did figure them out. He'd probably be even more excited to fight you."
"So?" Luo Yu wanted to know the purpose of this woman.
"So, I could only come to show goodwill to you in advance." Bai Xiao'e pouted, "I'm different from them. I hate all that fighting and killing."
"Does your chairman know about your traitorous behavior?" Luo Yu's gaze was peculiar, "If your chairman knew you had so little faith in him, I reckon he'd be the first to kill you, his little follower."
"Tssk, that sounds so ugly, what follower? I'm a student council officer, not anyone's slave." Bai Xiao'e spat several times in disgust.
"Alright, you really didn't need to come looking for me; I won't harm others if they don't harm me." Luo Yu became a bit more serious.
"Actually, I also want to remind you that if you can avoid staying at school for the time being, then don't stay." Bai Xiao'e advised, "Chairman Qin is very strong. He has long reached an unfathomable level of strength. I think you are not frightening because of your strength but because of your talent, which is not suitable for confronting him yet."
"My special talent is only perception, while his special talent is specifically designed for combat, which mortals cannot contend with."
"I see a promising future for you. By getting acquainted now, if things don't go well for me in the future, I might have to run to you and call out 'boss, please take me under your wing.'" Bai Xiao'e said playfully with a twinkle in her beautiful eyes.
Luo Yu just smiled and said nothing.
After all, the subtext of the woman's words was that she was optimistic about his future, but not of the present.
It seemed that her special perceptual talent was still not accurate enough.
"Aren't you curious what Chairman Qin's special combat talent is? It would be easier to deal with it if you really have to fight later on." Bai Xiao'e asked.
Luo Yu shook his head.
"It's true that knowing your enemy and yourself, you can fight without danger, but I disdain from getting a sneak preview of the opponent's hand through others."
"You're pretty old-fashioned and bit pedantic." Bai Xiao'e said, "If you clash with Chairman Qin now without understanding the situation, you are very likely to be killed by him without having the chance to realize your heaven-defying talent. How regrettable that would be."
Luo Yu looked at the morning sun in the sky, the flowers blooming beautifully on the surrounding paths, and said with a carefree smile:
"A dignified battle, even if lost, what of it?"
"Besides, I won't lose."
At that moment, Bai Xiao'e felt his gaze shine with such spirit, as if it radiated a strong confidence.
The radiance was so fervent.
She was inadvertently infected by it.
"With that said, take good care now."
Bai Xiao'e turned and took a few steps out before she suddenly turned back, her brow furrowed as she remembered:
"That's right, be careful of Xue Can."
"Careful of Xue Can?" Luo Yu was puzzled. That guy had already been hammered by him beyond recognition, and even with the best medical care, he wouldn't expect to recover without lying in bed for several months.
"Yes." Bai Xiao'e said seriously, "One time when that guy came back from outside, he had a particularly disgusting aura on him. That aura was very evil and terrifying, but it disappeared the next day. I mentioned it to Chairman Qin, but he didn't take it seriously at all."
"Thanks."
As the saying goes, you don't slap a smiling face. Luo Yu had no reason to speak harshly to this pretty girl with twin ponytails who was showing goodwill, so he gestured with a cupped-hand salute.
"Hehe, I'm off. From now on, we're friends, okay?" Bai Xiao'e hopped and skipped away, her long legs wrapped in black stockings swaying, and her cute twin ponytails bouncing.
Luo Yu carefully recalled what Bai Xiao'e had said as he walked and shook his head slightly.
These things were unimportant.
What was important was to take the time to enhance his own strength. As long as he was strong enough, with a fist hard enough to sweep away all manner of demons and monsters.
Today, he had the chance to learn the unique skills of various instructors, and afterward, he sparred with a Third Grade, which gave him a lot of inspiration. He needed to go back to the villa to consolidate his gains.
It was good to indulge in romantic pursuits with women, but his cultivation must not lag behind. Luo Yu always knew his priorities.
Moreover, there was the pressure from the Qin Family's Qin Qi. He had heard about this person from his grandfather a long time ago; he was the grandson of Great Xia's Summit powerhouse Qin Zheng and had risen rapidly relying on the resources supplied by the Qin Family—not someone to be underestimated.
Meanwhile, Bai Xiao'e returned to the villa area where the top ten students of the fourth year lived.
As soon as she entered the villa, a voice as clear and warm as a spring sounded, refreshing the soul.
"Xiao E, why have you only just come back?"
"I'll tell you about it later." Bai Xiao'e took off her black leather shoes and slipped her feet, encased in black stockings, into pink slippers.
She sat down by the sofa and grabbed a glass of orange juice from the coffee table, gulping down a few mouthfuls.
"Drink slowly."
On the sofa sat a woman in ancient clothing, wearing a tasseled long dress with a fitted waist, her hair done up and secured with a simple jade hairpin. Her eyes were slender and eyelashes curled, reminding one of an ethereal fairy that had stepped out of a painting, holding an aged tome in her hands.
Bai Xiao'e leaned over and glanced at the ancient characters in the book, which she couldn't understand at all, and immediately pouted.
"Sister Zhen, you really are now ignoring the world outside, only focused on reading these worthless books."
The woman in ancient attire shook her head and said gently:
"The world outside is too clamorous; I dislike it."
"It's nothing compared to the tranquility of home."
Bai Xiao'e held her head and rolled her eyes in rapid succession.
"Sister Zhen, we are Martial Artists, not Taoist priests aiming to cultivate into fairies. How can we ignore the affairs of the world!!!"
"But I'm doing quite well, aren't I?" The woman in ancient attire said with a smile, "You haven't told me why you came back so late today."
Bai Xiao'e sighed.
"You, are you also giving up all electronic devices now? Our Sichuan Martial admitted a new student who just arrived and disciplined Xue Can as soon as school started."
"Right, that guy Xue Can is now Third Grade."
The woman in ancient clothing was surprised: "What's the background of this new student? To be so capable, he's almost comparable to Qin Qi from back then."
Bai Xiao'e shook her head.
"Not comparable to Qin Qi?" The ancient attired woman nodded: "That's right, a peerless person like Qin Qi is hard to come by in Sichuan Province Martial University after so many years."
"No!" Bai Xiao'e's expression changed slightly: "I have personally sensed that newcomer."
"Sister, you know about my talent."
"My Ancient Spirits were actually terrified, scared, wailing, and they automatically cut off the sensing of that newcomer."
"Even Chairman Qin isn't that frightening. Even the super monsters from other Martial Universities didn't give me this feeling."
The horror now showing on Bai Xiao'e's face was far from the calm she had displayed in front of Luo Yu.
"How is that possible?" The ancient attired woman asked in astonishment: "What kind of talent and strength is he hiding to instill such fear in your Baize?"
