Everyone was very excited. Shen Boyuan was a leading figure among the younger generation of the Xuanmen sect, single-mindedly pursuing the Dao and never paying attention to anything else.

This is the first time that someone has publicly expressed their opinion on a female disciple and acknowledged Chu Yuqi's abilities.

Shen Boyuan was the first place winner of the previous two Xuanmen Academic Exchange Conferences, and even the unruly senior brother Zhuang Xun could not beat him.

Because of his overwhelming strength, he voluntarily gave up his status as a participant in this academic exchange conference and attended as a teaching assistant.

This year's prize money has been doubled. He could have secured the million-dollar prize for first place early on, but he voluntarily gave it up, giving other students more opportunities.

Who wouldn't praise his noble character? In any case, although Shen Boyuan is very aloof and rarely socializes, he has a high reputation among the students.

"Chu Chu, what exactly happened? How do you know Senior Brother Shen?"

"With Senior Brother Shen having such high hopes for you, you're sure to be among the top three!"

"I'm really looking forward to the final awards ceremony! I'll be waiting for Senior Brother Shen to put on the sash for you. It'll be a truly memorable moment of meeting at the top!"

Chu Yuqi smiled and said, "Senior Brother Shen may seem cold on the outside, but he's kind-hearted. He's just concerned about the younger generation."

She didn't say much and left with Cheng Jingru.

But the more she kept quiet, the more curious others became, speculating whether she had sparred with Shen Boyuan.

After all, Shen Boyuan doesn't respect clothes or people; he only respects strength.

People are naturally gossipy, and after witnessing such a juicy tidbit, many couldn't resist sharing it on the Xuanmen Exchange Forum.

Those who came to this exchange meeting usually practice asceticism and self-cultivation. It was a rare opportunity to exchange ideas with fellow disciples, and they even discovered such a beautiful and capable junior sister.

Regardless of whether there's an opportunity or not, you still have to be attentive, after all, the other party is a big internet celebrity with a celebrity effect.

Meanwhile, after the car exited the highway and entered the city, Mingzhuo finished reading the text messages.

The number she blocked sent her many text messages.

Perhaps angered by her lack of response, he went from being bossy to hurling insults, displaying a very volatile temper.

Finally, it escalated to attacking her appearance, scolding her for trying to seduce him and take shortcuts just because she's somewhat pretty, and he wouldn't fall for it.

Mingzhuo shared the screenshot of the text message in the group. It was the first time she had encountered something like this, and it was really novel to her.

She knew nothing about this from beginning to end; the two of them were complete strangers, yet the other party had already conjured up such a whole bunch of stories in his mind.

Don't panic when you encounter something bizarre; quickly share it with your friends.

After reading the text messages, Li Wenhe's face darkened completely. "You still admire oddballs? Do you know that this is sexual harassment?"

Pei Di was already tapping his fingers rapidly: "Boss, can I touch him?"

What utter nonsense! How dare someone fantasize about their boss like that? They must be tired of living.

He Wangyao was covered in sweat: "Calm down, calm down, there are other ways to solve this problem."

Mingzhuo was somewhat surprised that everyone was so angry. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Let's go and see what's going on."

As soon as she finished speaking, her phone rang. She saw that it was Gu Xu calling.

“I saw the screenshots in the group.” Gu Xu said bluntly, her voice slightly cold. “This is sexual harassment. As a specially invited teacher, you can be more assertive and directly demand that the organizers fire that logistics manager.”

He paused for a moment, then added, "If the other party doesn't take action, have Ah Hu turn back immediately, and I'll handle the rest."

Mingzhao: "..."

It's clear that Ah-Xu is very angry.

Mingzhuo: "Let me handle this myself first."

Gu Xu: "Zhuozhuo, with your abilities, you can be even more arrogant."

He was filled with anxiety, always worried that if he didn't follow along, something like what happened in Xiangshi would happen again.

Zhuozhuo is still too naive about the wickedness of people's hearts. She is incredibly capable, but lacks the corresponding social experience, and her methods are still too gentle.

Mingzhuo said OK, I understand, then paused and suddenly remembered something, "Am I very gentle?"

"Of course," Gu Xu answered without hesitation.

Mingzhuo hung up the phone in a good mood and looked at He Wangyao with a smile, "Yaoyao, you have a problem with your perception. See, even Axu said I'm very gentle."

He Wangyao: "..."

He had nothing to say.

The gentle-natured Mingzhuo decided that she could handle this matter gently.

Although her initial plan was to arrive at the scene and see the real person before deciding whether to beat him with a peach wood sword or scare him with a wooden puppet.

The car soon arrived at Yazheng Manor. The buildings here are antique, with white walls and black tiles, rockeries and flowing water, which is a typical Jiangnan courtyard style.

The hotel covers a large area, with an artificial lake at its center. It is divided into guest room areas, conference areas, dining areas, and leisure areas, each with its own courtyard.

The gatekeepers at the foot of the mountain had been specially instructed by their superiors, and they immediately let the car through upon seeing the license plate.

Ah Hu followed the navigation and drove to the private restaurant, where he would have a meal before checking in.

Mingzhuo flipped through the menu with great interest. "I saw that many people online have checked in at this restaurant for its private dishes, and the reviews are pretty good."

After flipping through a few pages, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

Li Wenhe was also looking at the menu, and he immediately had a plan in mind.

It was obvious that the other person had done their research on the spot and hadn't really looked into the hotel.

"This hotel is the most expensive in Lei City, bar none," he said casually. "But this meal can be included in your budget."

For online influencers, the food they're posting at isn't the main attraction; it's a subtle way of flaunting wealth. They even deliberately avoid mentioning the prices, because it's common knowledge that they're incredibly expensive!
