Outside the military building.

Zhou Xiruo was bored from waiting outside, so she went to a shop by the street to buy a cup of iced milk tea. In the end, she had only taken two sips when she saw Wang Xiao walk out of the building angrily.

Zhou Xiruo’s expression changed. She hurriedly went forward and whispered, “Why did you come out in your original appearance? Hurry up and find a place to transform back. Otherwise, you’ll be exposed!”

“It doesn’t matter! In any case, I don’t have to hide from others in the future!”

Wang Xiao gritted his teeth and replied with a dark expression. He took Zhou Xiruo’s iced milk tea and took a big gulp. “In the future, if I interfere in other people’s business again, they’ll treat me like this cup of milk tea!”

With that said, Wang Xiao raised his hand and threw the milk tea heavily on the ground, splashing it everywhere.

Zhou Xiruo’s expression instantly froze. She raised her hand and slapped Wang

Xiao. “Why are you suddenly acting up?! Compensate me for my milk tea!”

After being slapped by Zhou Xiruo, Wang Xiao suddenly sobered up a lot. He whispered, “I’m sorry.” Then, he pulled her towards the milk tea shop.

“I just got scolded by Commander Chen.”

Just as he reached the shop, Wang Xiao suddenly said without rhyme or reason, “He said that I stole the limelight.”

“Stole the limelight?”

Zhou Xiruo was stunned when she heard this. “What did you do?”

Wang Xiao did not say anything. He entered the shop and bought two cups of milk tea. After handing one to Zhou Xiruo, the two of them sat down by the street and he told her the ins and outs.

After hearing what had happened, Zhou Xiruo also felt that Chen Jinrong had gone a little overboard. Just as she was thinking about what to say to comfort Wang Xiao, she saw Tang Longji walk out of the military building.

“It’s Uncle Tang.”

Zhou Xiruo nudged Wang Xiao with her shoulder. “Uncle Tang chatted with Commander Chen for so long. He might know something. Do you want to ask?” Wang Xiao looked up and Tang Longji happened to look at them.

As soon as their gazes met, Tang Longji immediately shifted his gaze. He turned his face and walked away quickly along the street as if he did not see Wang Xiao at all.

Seeing this scene, Wang Xiao simply did not even get up and shook his head. “Only when you’re in trouble will you know your true friend. He probably won’t say anything.”

With that said, Wang Xiao casually threw his finished milk tea cup into the trash can. Then, he stood up and called out, “Let’s go!”

Zhou Xiruo was stunned. “Where are we going?”

“Back to the academy!”

Wang Xiao patted the dust on his body. “Tomorrow is the academy’s ranking assessment. Although we’ve been delayed for a few days, it’s better to sharpen our spears at the last minute than not at all, right?”

‘…Alright.”

Zhou Xiruo nodded in confusion. She suddenly thought of something and asked, “Then Commander Chen…

“Who cares?”

Wang Xiao rolled his eyes and replied. Then, he put his hands in his pockets and left. Zhou Xiruo looked at the roof of the military building again and hurriedly followed.

Yuheng Academy.

Wang Xiao said that he had to intensify his training. After returning to the academy, he indeed went straight to the building where the teleportation door was stored.

However, just as Zhou Xiruo was flipping through the name list and looking for a secret realm suitable for the two of them to train, Wang Xiao had already walked into the closest teleportation door.

Zhou Xiruo had no choice but to follow. It was also because of this action that she realized that something was wrong.

As soon as he entered the secret realm, Wang Xiao directly summoned all the mutated beasts and began to kill without any strategy.

When his energy was exhausted, he would replenish it with potions. After killing through a secret realm, he would immediately leave and enter the next one. Zhou Xiruo was by his side, but she did not have the chance to attack at all.

When they arrived at the third secret realm. Zhou Xiruo knew that Wang Xiao

was not training at all but venting.

Although Wang Xiao looked calm on the surface, he was definitely extremely angry in his heart.

Looking at the gloomy Wang Xiao, Zhou Xiruo could not help but reveal a worried expression. She had known Wang Xiao for so long, but this was the first time she had seen him so hysterical.

However, although she was worried, Zhou Xiruo also knew that it was useless to say anything. All she could do now was accompany Wang Xiao. Then, when Wang Xiao’s energy was exhausted, she silently handed him a recovery potion.

After an unknown period of time, perhaps ten or twenty secret realms, Wang Xiao finally stopped.

Zhou Xiruo handed him a recovery potion and asked softly in a gentle tone, “Do you feel better?”

“Much better.”

Wang Xiao nodded, took the potion, and smiled at Zhou Xiruo. “Thank you.”

Zhou Xiruo smiled brightly and did not ask Wang Xiao what he was thanking him for. After he drank the recovery potion, she asked, “What should we do next?”

“Well .

Wang Xiao frowned and thought for a moment before laughing heartily. “I’m a little tired after fighting for so long. Let’s go home and sleep!”

“Okay.”

Zhou Xiruo nodded. Then, the two of them left the secret realm. When they went out, they realized that the sky was already completely dark.

“I’m a little tired. I won’t send you off today!”

Wang Xiao waved his hand and called out. Then, he stretched and walked into the distance.

After turning a corner, the fatigue and tiredness on Wang Xiao’s face suddenly disappeared. He nimbly stood against the wall and quietly stuck his head out to see if Zhou Xiruo had left. In the end, just as he stole a glance, he met Zhou Xiruo’s gaze!

Wang Xiao screamed and hurriedly retrea ted. Zhou Xiruo also walked out from behind the corner with a bright smile on her face, as if she was smug that her prank had succeeded.

“What are you doing!”

Wang Xiao came back to his senses and frowned. “Why aren’t you home so late? Why are you following me?”

“How would you know I was following you if you didn’t turn around?”

Zhou Xiruo asked with a smile. Before Wang Xiao could speak, she said, “Tell me, why did you send me away?

“I-I didn’t send you away.”

Wang Xiao pretended to be calm. “I just felt that someone was following me, so

I turned around.”

Zhou Xiruo smiled at Wang Xiao. “Do you know? Every time you lie, you subconsciously raise your eyebrows.”

“Did 1?”

Wang Xiao was stunned and subconsciously raised his hand to verify. Just as he was halfway through, he suddenly reacted. “You tricked me?”

Zhou Xiruo chuckled and did not deny it. “So what exactly do you want to do?”

Wang Xiao was silent for a while. “After calming down, I realized that there are a few suspicious points about what happened today, so I want to ask Commander Chen clearly.”

Zhou Xiruo nodded, as if she was not surprised by this answer. “You seem to have had a really heated argument with him today. Should we bring some gifts over?”

Wang Xiao was stunned. “You want to go with me?”

“Obviously.”

Zhou Xiruo asked in return and grabbed Wang Xiao’s arm. “Hurry up! Let’s see if there are any suitable gifts first!”

Wang Xiao was almost forcefully pulled to the trading market by Zhou Xiruo.

Although Wang Xiao felt that there was no need to give a gift at all, he could not deny Zhou Xiruo’s strong insistence. He patiently strolled around for a while and did not expect to see an acquaintance in the crowd.

“Lan Dahai?”
