Perhaps it was because
Ye Qiu was the first person to deliver such a blow to her
that Huo Wu only had eyes for him.
Thinking of this,
Liu Erlong looked at Ye Qiu, then at Huo Wu, and said,
"Husband, why don't you go and talk to him? I'll take the sisters back first."
Ye Qiu looked at Liu Erlong with surprise.
Ning Rongrong's face showed a hint of anxiety and confusion.
She wanted to say something,
but Liu Erlong stopped her with a look. Dugu Yan was also pulling her aside. She already knew
Huo Wu's little thoughts. "Let's go back." Led by Liu Erlong, the rest of the Blue Tyrant Academy members headed towards the camp. Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu kept turning back to look at Ye Qiu, who was still with Huo Wu. Ye Qiu was also a little confused, but he didn't leave. He was also curious about what Huo Wu had said to him. Liu Erlong and the other girls had only walked a short distance. Ning Rongrong couldn't help but ask, "Sister Erlong, why did you let Ye Qiu talk to that Huo Wu alone? Don't you have enough sisters? Besides, she has such a bad temper!" Liu Erlong smiled, looking at Ning Rongrong meaningfully. She explained, "Rongrong, you can't tie a man's heart down. What's yours will always be yours." "Didn't you understand this principle before? You were willing to put in the effort." Hearing Liu Erlong mention the word "effort, " not only Ning Rongrong but even Xiao Lan and the others blushed. Ning Rongrong said shyly, "Anyway, anyway, I just don't like that Huo Wu, so what?" "It's okay. Miss Ning, your temper wasn't so bad before either, but you changed after meeting your husband." Dugu Yan, standing beside her, linked arms with Ning Rongrong and said with a smile. "I, I don't have a bad temper." Ning Rongrong blushed. If Ye Qiu could coax her, then those little temper tantrums of the past weren't so bad. ... Standing still. Huo Wu looked at Ye Qiu, who had a calm expression, handsome face, and wore a white robe with many words embroidered on his chest. Her eyes changed slightly. "Come with me." After saying that, Huo Wu turned and walked towards the rest area. Ye Qiu was naturally not afraid of any tricks Huo Wu might play, and followed her into the rest area. Huo Wu led Ye Qiu all the way. They stopped in a secluded corner of the rest area. At this time , the qualifying matches outside were still ongoing, and students from various academies were watching. This so-called rest area was actually a specially marked camp for pre-match adjustments. There was no one there at the moment. Huo Wu stopped and looked back at Ye Qiu, her expression softening considerably. "Thank you for helping me last time?" Ye Qiu raised his eyebrows in surprise and nodded silently. "You're welcome." Then, Ye Qiu was a little confused. He asked, puzzled, "You called me here just to talk about something that's already happened?" "Didn't you already thank me back then?" Huo Wu looked up and stared at Ye Qiu for a moment. A wave of discouragement washed over her. From childhood, although she had always pursued greater strength and diligently cultivated, she was equally confident in her appearance. She had never encountered a boy who showed impatience towards her. Yet, Ye Qiu was giving her that feeling. "Ye Qiu, are you unwilling to talk to me?"
Huo Wu's familiar fiery temper seemed to be flaring up again.
Ye Qiu waved his hand and shook his head,
explaining, "I didn't mean that. I just don't understand what we have to say to each other. After all, we're competitors, and we've only faced each other twice on the field."
"Hmph! I'm suddenly starting to believe what Feng Xiaotian said. You were probably a blockhead before! But now you've become a carnivorous monster!"
Huo Wu snorted coldly.
She never understood the meaning of subtlety. She
directly stated her thoughts.
At the same time, she felt a little regretful. Why hadn't she met Ye Qiu
's lower version first?
He must have been so easy to fool.
Maybe she could have tricked Ye Qiu back to Blazing Academy and exploited him at will. She
wouldn't be in this situation now.
Maybe she could have even led the Blazing Academy team to win the Soul Master Competition.
Perhaps before,
Huo Wu would have doubted Ye Qiu's strength, whether he was strong enough to win the championship.
But now... no... after witnessing Ye Qiu's Divine Might Space,
Huo Wu no longer had such doubts.
She also no longer had the desire to compete with Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu frowned, remembering that Feng Xiaotian had once inquired about his past from Ning Rongrong and the others.
He shrugged helplessly.
"What you said isn't entirely wrong; I really am a monster."
"You..."
Seeing Ye Qiu's still nonchalant expression, Huo Wu was speechless.
Then she thought about it...
Ye Qiu wasn't wrong.
He really wasn't a normal person.
How could a normal person possess such strength, and also have such a large space?
Seeing Huo Wu's seemingly about-to-explode expression, Ye Qiu immediately lost the desire to continue the conversation. He
calmly said, "If you're just talking about what happened that day, I think I can go back now."
"Wait!"
Seeing Ye Qiu about to leave, Huo Wu quickly called out to him.
"Am I really that annoying to you?"
Looking at Huo Wu, who was blocking his way, her face flushed, whether from anger or embarrassment, he couldn't tell.
Tall and slender, with delicate and beautiful features,
she was indeed a stunning beauty.
"If there's anything else, just say it quickly,"
Huo Wu said, frowning. "You can leave, but you have to answer one question first."
Looking at the stunningly beautiful woman in red before him,
Ye Qiu nodded slightly.
"Okay, ask away, but if it involves my personal secrets, I won't answer you."
"Don't worry, I won't delve into your secrets right now."
Huo Wu knew Ye Qiu was mysterious.
Even now, she still couldn't see through him, didn't know his true strength.
Even when facing the Divine Wind Academy,
he remained calm and nonchalant.
He even managed to learn Feng Xiaotian's self-created soul skill,
the Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes of the Gale Wolf, in a short time!
Huo Wu took a deep breath,
her eyes fixed intently on Ye Qiu's.
She asked in a low voice,
"Why did you save me that day? What were your thoughts when you saved me?"
"Shouldn't you hate me? Why would you risk exposing your secrets to help a complete rival like me?"
Ye Qiu looked at Huo Wu in surprise.
"Is that your question? And the reason you called me here?"
Huo Wu nodded seriously.
"That's right, that's why I called you here, and it's what I want to know."
