[Young Master Lu, Shi Xing has been discharged from the hospital and returned to his residence]

[Picture]

Two messages came on the communicator, and a snapshot of Shi Xing was attached. Lu Lu thanked him and immediately set off for his residence.

As the saying goes, it is better to arrive in time than to arrive early.

Appearing from behind, the few words that Shi Xing heard clearly were all said by Yu Man.

Yu Man: "It's not as exaggerated as you guys say. It's just... common sense that the one who enters maturity earlier will have a higher level. Maybe he just wanted to get to know him first."

"By the way, Shi Xing hasn't come back yet? It's been so long. Would his mental strength be so unstable after entering maturity? He can't control it now. Could it be that I pushed myself too hard that day?"

"I just wanted to play a joke on him at the time. I didn't expect him to be so stubborn. If he just wanted to suppress me and make such a fuss... why bother?"

Yu Man even made up a reason for him why he was not discharged from the hospital for so long.

"Oh, of course, isn't he close to Young Master Xiao Lu, he..."

Realizing that Yu Man wanted to blurt out something, Shi Xing's eyes turned cold, and before Yu Man could finish, he kicked him. No

one around could see clearly how Shi Xing moved, they only felt that Yu Man, who was sitting on the edge of the flower bed, flew out with a snap.

Of course, Shi Xing still had some sense of propriety, the flower bed was only half a person's height, so he couldn't fall.

Sure enough, Yu Man staggered two steps and then stabilized himself after landing. This kick brought more humiliation to Yu Man than injury.

"Who? Who is it..."

Shi Xing: "I."

Shi Xing took two steps forward, stood at the position where Yu Man just stood, and looked down at him, smiling, but the smile did not reach his eyes, and was filled with an indescribable coldness, "I am close to Lu Lu, and then what?" Yu Man

choked.

Being looked at by Shi Xing with a smile, that feeling of heartbeat came again.

Before anyone could come to their senses, Shi Xing went on, "Tell everyone that I was the one who bullied you in the orchard that day?"

Yu Man wanted to argue, but Shi Xing didn't give him the chance. "Then did you tell them that you were the one who grabbed my hand first?"

"Or are you trying to turn it into a joke again?"

"After entering maturity, the Blue Star people will unconsciously absorb the mental power of others during contact. Ha, you said it was a joke, so I wanted to know how many there were. Coincidentally, I have also entered maturity, and I also want to try such a joke with others."

Shi Xing's voice was not loud, and his tone was understated, but the last sentence was accompanied by a sweep of his eyes. Wherever he looked, the people around him unconsciously retreated. In a moment, there were only two of them left on the flower bed.

Shi Xing said playfully, "It seems that people don't agree with your jokes as much as they say."

Yu Man: "..." Yu Man's

forehead was bulging with veins after a series of sarcasms and ridicules.

With a flicker in his eyes, Yu Man said sadly, "You are close to Lu Lu, so you want me to tell you what you did, right?"

Threatening.

Naked.

He skipped the matter of deliberately absorbing spiritual power and chose the point of him hiding the crystal to make himself weak. Shi Xing really didn't know whether to sigh or not. He is indeed Yu Man. Even

if he is at fault, he is determined not to let others have an easy time.

Shi Xing did not show the expected panic on his face. Instead, he said nonchalantly, "You tell me."

"I'm curious too. Is there anything I can't say?"

"But..." Shi Xing narrowed his eyes and threatened back, "Everything requires evidence. You'd better think about it carefully. Who is bullying whom in the orchard? We can see it clearly by checking the surveillance. If what you say next is still slander, I will go to the administrator. I believe the administrator cannot ignore it."

One thing could be perfunctorily dealt with by Shi Xing, but if there was one more rumor of a malicious nature, the impression would be very different.

Shi Xing tilted his head and poked Yu Man's sore spot, "If the officers who saw you knew that you were stingy and hypocritical, I'm curious who would choose you this year?" "

!" Unable to bear it any longer, Yu Man roared angrily, "Shi Xing, don't go too far."

"I went too far? Weren't you the one who just argued with Jin'er? Why don't you want to go to the administrator to make things clear?"

Yu Man's face suddenly changed.

Shi Xing knew what he was thinking. Usually, he didn't bother with him. He was used to bullying him and Shi Ran. Suddenly, Shi Xing became tough. Yu Man must have been surprised and doubtful in his heart. In addition, he was not sure whether there was really a crystal hidden in his room, so he didn't dare to say the threat just now.

After all, Yu Man was looking forward to finding a high-ranking military officer for the matchmaking dinner! Knowing

the other party's domineering character, Shi Xing was too lazy to say anything more:

"Today there are only two choices, either you apologize to me in public; or we go to the administrator and have a good talk about the truth of your words!"

The atmosphere was stagnant.

In the past, Shi Xing was easy to talk to, and most people would persuade him when he got into trouble, but today was different. Today, Shi Xing was clearly determined and didn't say a word to offend.

And being ridiculed like this, Yu Man, who was always unforgiving, didn't even argue. Who was right and who was wrong, the scale in everyone's heart also tilted, and soon, someone began to persuade Yu Man.

"Why make such a scene? Otherwise, Yu Man, just apologize?"

"Yes, you shouldn't talk about people behind their backs, Yu Man..."

The admonitions grew louder and louder, and Shi Xing smiled faintly. This reaction further irritated Yu Man. He wondered when he had ever been so aggrieved. He was always wrong. He was also a little afraid that Shi Xing was going to the administrator to make a scene. His face turned red with anger, and he was in a dilemma.

"Even if Yu Man was the first to reach out in the tree garden, you are the one who took advantage in the end. The Tree Nest prohibits Blue Star people from absorbing each other's spiritual power. It is wrong to talk about it in detail, and it is the same if you say it in front of the administrator!"

Before Yu Man could say anything, his friend Yu Caixian couldn't stand it anymore and spoke loudly. Yu Manman's

stomach was stuffy and he immediately seemed to have found an outlet to vent his anger. He immediately agreed, "Yes, absorbing each other's spiritual energy is not allowed. Even if we are wrong, we are all right!"

Shi Xing raised his eyebrows.

There was nothing to discuss about the death rule of the tree nest. Seeing the situation change, the surroundings became quiet again.

Yu Cai said again: "Apart from this, how else can you prove that Yu Man is lying? Everyone knows that Yu Man entered the mature period first, so he should be stronger. You absorbed Yu Man's mental power in the afternoon and went to the hospital in the evening. How do you explain this? Yu Man guessed that you took advantage of the instability of the mature period to deceive him. Is there a problem?"

"Or in other words, isn't this the fact?"

Wow, with just a few words, he refuted the legitimacy of Shi Xing's behavior and began to question Shi Xing's motives.

Of course, the truth is not like this. Even if they both deserved a slap on the wrist, Shi Xing could refute it. But these words suddenly made Shi Xing realize something he had overlooked. He looked at Yu Cai thoughtfully:

"So, you think Yu Man is better than me?"

Yu Cai didn't even think about it. "You two have been on par since childhood, but Yu Man has won first place more often in the past six months, and it was Yu Man who entered the mature period first. Finally, there is news in the capital that a particularly powerful Blue Star person will appear in the Tree Nest this year. Who did the foreign military officers recently ask to see? I don't need to say more, right?" Yu

Man had contacted the military officers, so it was not surprising that he knew this gossip, and it was even more natural for him to show off to his friends in private.

After Yu Cai finished speaking, Yu Man's eyes lit up a little, and he held his head high with his chest puffed out, looking particularly proud and proud.

Although the people around him didn't say anything, their silence was undoubtedly a sign of approval.

Shi Xing looked at Yu Man, who was sitting comfortably, and said slowly: "The people of Blue Star are forbidden to absorb each other's spiritual power, so it is obviously not advisable for us to shake hands again to confirm who is more powerful."

The arrival of the prince and the treatment that night were also kept secret by the administrator. Shi Xing would never give the explanation that Yu Cai wanted. Shi

Ran, who knew the inside story, was so anxious that he almost jumped up.

Shi Xing comforted his friend with his eyes, and his mind raced, and he had a better solution.

"Yu Man, how about we make a bet?"

"If the evaluation shows that your level or peer score is higher than mine, then your guess is correct and you don't have to apologize to me. I will agree to a condition that you can do. On the contrary, if mine is higher than yours, then not only will you apologize to me and Shi Ran who refuted you in public, but you will also owe me a condition. How about that?"

Shi Xing was not slow or fast, with a gentle smile on his face, but Yu Man felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked at this smile.

But this bet... Yu Man's eyes rolled, as if he thought of something happy, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.

Yu Man, who had already determined that Shi Xing in the tree garden was a fraud, naturally had nothing to worry about. He had even met a lot of military officers recently and heard a lot of nice words and hints. Yu Man felt that Shi Xing's proposal was overestimating his own abilities and looking for death.

Yu Man nodded almost instantly: "Okay."

"Let me say this in advance. Are you sure you will agree to the conditions you put forward as long as you can do it?"

Shi Xing: "I'm sure."

"Then everyone bear witness now, and don't regret it when the time comes."

Shi Xing: "I also said something in advance. Once the assessment is made, you have to apologize, and apologize in front of everyone as soon as possible."

Yu Man gritted his teeth: "Okay."

But what he thought in his heart was that this scene would never happen.

If he makes himself so embarrassed in front of the crowd, then when the time comes for his request... he will make Shi Xing regret it.

"Xingxing, why did you bet with him?!" When everyone left, Shi Ran ran to Shi Xing and said in a low voice, "If you lose, who knows what he will ask you to do!" Shi

Xing was indifferent. He and Yu Man had been estranged for a long time, and he didn't care about the other party's petty quarrels. If he wanted to shock Yu Man, he would naturally have to do it hard, so that Yu Man would be afraid of him from the bottom of his heart and dare not provoke him easily again.

And you have to hit the snake at its weakest point. The reason why Yu Man always finds fault is that he thinks that when the two of them are equally good, Lu Lu only has eyes for him?

This time, Shi Xing wants to tell him that in terms of ability, he is far inferior to himself.

The words on the tip of his tongue were not uttered. He only heard a sound of "Xingxing" in his ears. Shi Xing and Shi Ran turned around and saw Lu Lu who had arrived at the residence at some point.

Lu Lu: "Shi Xing, can I... talk to you alone for a few words?" Shi Xing

and Lu Lu went outside the residence. Lu Lu first asked about the communicator. When he got the answer that Shi Xing was in a coma, he realized that Shi Xing was not avoiding him on purpose. Lu Lu felt relieved and asked Shi Xing for a long time.

Maybe it was because he had just been discharged from the hospital, or maybe it was because the confrontation with Yu Man was too tiring. After a few words, Shi Xing felt tired.

"Is that all you want to ask? I'm fine. Nothing will happen to the Blue Star people in the tree nest."

Shi Xing said to Lu Lu in a soothing way.

Lu Lu was hesitant to speak.

Shi Xing seemed to be aware of the subtle atmosphere. After a while, he said softly, "Do you have anything to say to me?"

"About... the matching matter..."

Shi Xing had thought about this when they parted last time, "Didn't we agree to wait until the talent evaluation comes out before talking about it? You're right. At that time, I might have entered the mature stage and my mental strength was unstable, and my emotions were not right. I was anxious..."

If it would be difficult to reject Lu Lu no matter how she did it, she should wait until after the talent evaluation. By then, at least from the perspective of matching, the two of them would be very inappropriate.

Shi Xing had denied something before, but he didn’t expect that he would change his mind again. Lu Lu hesitated and asked, “Is it really… that I’m not in the right mood?”

“Well, you know, my mental power will fluctuate greatly before I enter the mature stage. Now my daily demand for crystals is different from before. I’m not used to it yet.”

Shi Xing yawned. “Anything else to say? I just got out of the hospital and I want to go back and rest.”

Lu Lu tried several times, but he couldn’t open his mouth to face Shi Xing like this. In the end, he just said that he had contacted him through the communicator, and left in a hurry before his ears turned red. Shi Xing

went back to his room and fell asleep on the sofa.

He didn’t know how long he slept, but was woken up by the sound of a message on the communicator.

Shi Xing opened it dazedly, scanned a few times, and then woke up.

[Xingxing, I don’t really have to participate in the matchmaking. My family can send me to a doctor who is not on the front line for treatment. I took the initiative to ask for the matchmaking]

[I used to think that we should just let things take their own course, but after these few days, I think maybe I should tell you] When Xingxing said

[Xingxing, I like you]

, she woke up with a startle.
