Wu Manman tackled Ye Qiu, pinning down his right hand with one hand while clenching her fist with the other, ready to strike.
"Don't hit me, don't hit me, Teacher Manman. I'm injured right now, and there's a competition tomorrow. If you beat me so badly that I can't move, and Jiedao Academy doesn't get a good ranking, don't blame me."
Ye Qiu quickly smiled.
As expected, this move was extremely effective.
Wu Manman's clenched fists, when they struck Ye Qiu, not only became limp and powerless, but also transformed into a palm, turning into a caress.
"Look at what you're saying, how could I bear to hit you? I still need to keep your dog's life to help Jiedao Academy get good rankings, right, little Ye Qiu?"
Wu Manman's words were practically spat out from between her teeth.
"Teacher Manman, rest assured, I will do my utmost, dedicate myself to the cause until my dying breath."
Ye Qiu's expression was serious.
"Pah, pah, pah! Who said you were going to die? Don't say such unlucky things."
Wu Manman glared at Ye Qiu.
"Alright, that's enough. Teacher Manman, it's getting late. You should go back and rest. We all have to get up early tomorrow. I need to take care of myself," Ye Qiu said.
"What's there to treat? I've already asked Gu Si to buy some pills. I'll watch you take them after they arrive, and then I'll go back to sleep. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep," Wu Manman said.
"Teacher Manman, you're not targeting me, are you?" Ye Qiu stared at Wu Manman.
Wu Manman blushed slightly; "Don't talk nonsense. You're so ugly, there's no way I'd be interested in you. The man I like has to be a great hero."
"Really? That's good. I'm relieved." Ye Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.
"What do you mean? What are you not worried about?" Wu Manman glared at Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu shrugged and said, "Because I'm destined not to be a great hero, which means you don't need to worry."
"Why do I say that? You have become a hero of the Daoist Academy, and those who cannot enter the Tongcheng Academy will all regard you as a hero."
"But I'm not a hero. To be honest, all the poems I wrote were plagiarized, and they'll be exposed sooner or later," Ye Qiu confessed softly.
"Pah!" Wu Manman sneered. "This literary competition is being held with the most advanced plagiarism detection system in the country. Even if your poems are only slightly similar to others, they will be detected. Don't try to fool me."
"But I really did copy it, I..."
"Stop! Ye Qiu, are you really that afraid I'll be interested in you? Are you really that afraid I'll like you?" Wu Manman gritted her teeth. "What exactly do you mean?"
"These days, nobody believes me whether I tell the truth or a lie. What should I do?"
Ye Qiu wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Heh, then you need to take a good look at yourself. Why don't other people believe you?" Wu Manman sneered.
“Teacher Manman, what are you saying? Before you sneer and mock me, could you please let go of my hand? Could you please stand up straight? I feel a lot of pressure talking to me like this, leaning over me like this,” Ye Qiu reminded Wu Manman.
Upon hearing this, Wu Manman seemed to realize something only then, and hurriedly stood up straight, pretending to be serious, and said, "I'm warning you, don't think about anything. You're still far from being the son-in-law of the Jiedao Academy."
"Okay, I promise I won't become the son-in-law of the Jiedao Academy, I swear."
"Are you... are you deliberately trying to upset me?"
Wu Manman got angry again and stomped her feet so hard that the mountain peaks trembled slightly.
Ye Qiu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked away, silently repenting...
“Look at me,” Wu Manman raised her voice.
"I can look at you, but don't shake. If you shake, it makes me nervous."
"What did I shake?" Wu Manman asked, puzzled.
Where on your body is it swaying?
"Well……"
Wu Manman suddenly realized what was happening, her face turning red with embarrassment; "You scoundrel, how can your focus be so filthy?"
Ye Qiu chuckled dryly, "There's really no way to ignore it, after all, it's such a big target."
"you……"
Bang, bang...
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Wu Manman asked, turning her head.
"Manman, a distinguished guest has arrived and is waiting in the reception hall. She wants to see Ye Qiu," Long Yue's voice came from outside the door.
"Who is it? What do they want with Ye Qiu so late at night? Could it be someone from Tongcheng Academy coming to inquire about Ye Qiu's injuries?" Wu Manman opened the door, her brows furrowed.
“She’s not from the academy, but I don’t know who she is either. In any case, the palace master is extremely respectful to her and even told Ye Qiu to hurry over there,” Long Yue said.
"Let's go take a look," Wu Manman said.
"Ye Qiu, let's go," Long Yue called out.
"good."
Ye Qiu glanced at a certain part of Wu Manman's body, looking rather nostalgic.
Wu Manman understood Ye Qiu's gaze, and taking advantage of Long Yue's inattention, she reached out and pinched Ye Qiu's arm hard.
Ye Qiu grinned and, taking advantage of Long Yue's inattention, patted Wu Manman's shapely buttocks.
Wu Manman's body stiffened, her cheeks burning. She hadn't expected Ye Qiu to be so bold.
But Wu Manman had no chance to retaliate, because Ye Qiu quickened his pace.
"Damn it, you just wait."
Wu Manman gritted her teeth.
...
Soon after, the three of them entered the reception hall together.
Inside the main hall, Wu Daofeng was personally receiving the distinguished guests.
This distinguished guest was none other than Lin Qingzhu.
Upon seeing Ye Qiu arrive, Lin Qingzhu immediately stood up, walked over to him, and anxiously asked, "Are you alright? Are you badly injured?"
