"How-old-are-you."

"Don't say such old jokes."

In the restaurant, Qiao Muyi, who was sitting next to Dong Chengling, bit her straw and looked at Ren Suo with a smile, saying, "Why, are you dissatisfied with having dinner with us? Two beautiful second-level cultivators, if you have any doubts about cultivation now, feel free to ask. This is a rare opportunity to ask questions."

Ren Suo curled his lips and said, "I was planning to treat you..."

"Tsk, it seems like one more person would cost you a lot of money." Qiao Muyi waved her hand. "Don't think I don't know. Your pay slip is easy to check. It's in the internal system of the Countermeasures Bureau. Your bonus and salary added together are almost twice as much as mine, and you have more free time than me and have more time to practice..."

"I want to watch Demon Slayer too, but I don't have the time."

Qiao Muyi usually takes care of Ren Suo in the countermeasure system, and Ren Suo knows this, so he can only sigh and say, "You make me feel guilty..."

"Well, I will definitely keep you informed if there is any news from the Countermeasures Bureau in the future." Qiao Muyi waved her hand, took Ren Suo's cup of milk tea and looked at it. "The milk tea is super sweet and has a lot of sugar. Be careful not to get fat."

"Eating something salty will neutralize it later."

"You think it's acid-base neutralization? And the thing that can neutralize sweetness should be bitter, right?"

After Ren Suo went to the toilet, Qiao Muyi propped up her chin with her hand, sighed, and looked at Dong Chengling helplessly, "Miss Dong, the atmosphere is good, why did you insist on me coming over? You said it as if it was urgent. I thought you had encountered a demon."

"I... am a little nervous." Dong Chengling said in a low voice, "If you don't come, I think I might not be able to speak later..."

She grabbed the hem of her skirt and finally showed a little shyness in front of her friends. "This is the first time I wear this kind of clothes since I became an adult..."

"Oh my god." Qiao Muyi rolled her eyes. "What did you wear in college? Didn't you go out to play?"

"Long pants and shirt." Dong Chengling "I usually stay in the library, rarely participate in activities, and don't like to go to parties with my roommates."

Qiao Muyi: "Tsk, then you are definitely not a good student in terms of moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor development... But didn't you watch the movie with him? Isn't this normal?"

Dong Chengling was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Watching a movie... no need to talk."

"In fact, I stopped looking halfway through and instead used the corner of my eye to see if he was looking over here..."

Dong Chengling lowered her head, her black hair covering her face, but just by hearing her slightly trembling voice, Qiao Muyi knew that her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

"When we were shopping just now, he seemed to finally notice that I was wearing strange clothes today. He didn't say anything the whole time, so I called you over... After all, when you eat, you have to look at each other..."

"Miss Dong, this is not because I noticed that you are wearing strange clothes, but because I noticed that you are beautiful and cute!"

Qiao Muyi complained, and Dong Chengling chuckled, turned her head and looked at her with wide eyes, tucked her hair behind her ears, and smiled with a red face, "Xiao Qiao, aren't you my love consultant? Of course I have to look for you when I have something to do."

When Qiao Muyi saw this scene, she was stunned for a moment, then she took out her cell phone and took a picture in a flash.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Dong Chengling asked curiously.

"No, nothing..."

Qiao Muyi turned around and uploaded the picture to the cloud server, and set it as the phone screensaver and the back of the theme - you are my wife this week.

"Invite him to the training ground to train together later. Xiao Qiao, can you come too?" Dong Chengling put his hands together and asked, "Since we are here, why not..."

Qiao Muyi waved her hand and said, "To be honest, I would rather you go karaoke, ice skating, or at worst go shopping and see the Lianjiang Tower..."

Dong Chengling: "These activities are not as good as cultivation. Ren Suo also made it clear that he doesn't like those kinds of activities. Even when Zhao Huo invited him, he wouldn't go."

Qiao Muyi curled her lips, sighed secretly, "Two hardcore life OL players", and asked, "So you haven't told me the next plan yet?"

"Well, isn't it Xiao Qiao that you want to tell us the arrangements step by step?"

Dong Chengling blinked and drew circles with his index fingers. "Speaking out all at once is like inviting someone on a date. Speaking out step by step can leave a buffer time...but it seems that the buffer time is useless."

(I had accidentally come up with such a reasonable reason) Qiao Muyi spread her hands, suddenly remembered something, and pretended to ask casually, "By the way, where is the female student who always sticks to you?"

"She has something to do tonight, and she told me in advance that she can't come to my house for dinner."

"You have a very good relationship with her."

"She is my first friend since I came to Lianjiang." Dong Chengling said, "She is like my sister."

She smiled and said, "I'm an only child and I've always wanted to have a sister."

"I can see that." Qiao Muyi said, "One of the two Type 3 Spiritual Energy Preservators that the Countermeasures Bureau gave you is in her possession... I won't mention Ren Suo. But as a friend, is she worthy of you doing this for her? You've only known her for two months, right?"

"It's worth it." Dong Chengling said, "Two months ago, when I first started to guide students as an instructor, I was a little nervous at first. It was Xiaoyan who helped me maintain classroom discipline. Later, I was so relaxed in class, a big part of the reason was because of her help."

"She cares about me, helps me, recognizes me, likes me, and approves of my pursuit. That feeling is definitely not false. I am not an iron man, how can I remain indifferent?"

Dong Chengling stirred his iced tea with a straw and said, "Maybe it's because I don't have many friends, so I cherish the relationships and feelings I have now."

"I have a goal to pursue, friends I can confide in, a sister I can love, and... maybe these things will deteriorate in the future, but before that, I want to enjoy these encounters to the fullest."

Qiao Muyi was silent for a moment. At this time, Ren Suo finally came back, sat down and said, "I don't know why I suddenly..."

"Stop, we're getting ready to eat, don't talk about the toilet." Qiao Muyi said unhappily.

The meal went smoothly. After eating and drinking, Ren Suo looked at the time and felt that it was time, so he said, "It's time to go back."

"Do you have anything to do later?" Dong Chengling was stunned and asked.

"Yeah. I want to—"

"Okay then!" Qiao Muyi interrupted their conversation forcefully and pulled Dong Chengling up. "Then it's our girls' time. Pay the bill yourself. If you don't have money, go to the kitchen and wash dishes or sell your kidney or lungs."

"Sell lungs to the restaurant to make Fuqi Feipian?" Ren Suo waved his hand. "Cheng Ling, aren't you going back? See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Dong Chengling was dragged away by Qiao Muyi without saying a word. When they were far away from the restaurant, he asked, "Xiao Qiao, didn't you say..."

"When I came, your date was completely ruined!" Qiao Muyi said, "I might as well take you to pick out some clothes that won't embarrass you on a date. I was confused last time. You are too low level now to wear this outfit."

Dong Chengling (°ー°〃) "Are there any more levels?"

"Others don't have it, but you do." Qiao Muyi said unhappily, "And Ren Suo happens to be busy, so don't give him the chance to reject you."

Dong Chengling smiled, took Qiao Muyi's arm and said with a smile, "Thank you, Xiao Qiao."

"Tsk..." Qiao Muyi turned her head away and murmured softly, "I don't want to be the culprit..."

Dong Chengling: "What?"

"Nothing." Qiao Muyi turned his head to look at her and suddenly asked, "Come to think of it, I've always wanted to ask you, what do you like about him? Laziness, poor qualifications, no drive, low emotional intelligence, and IQ doesn't seem to be that high... I can list a lot of Ren Suo's shortcomings."

Dong Chengling blinked, hummed, and said, "He helped me when I was in trouble? He saved my life? He liked the food I cooked? He believed in me and respected me? His sense of responsibility?..."

"I don't know either." She spread her hands. "This is the only thing I can't sort out. It's like a natural progression. When I realized it, I was... stuck."

Qiao Muyi held her forehead, sighed, and said seriously, "Don't worry, as your love consultant, I will definitely help you!"

Qiao Muyi secretly made up his mind - not to cause trouble, at least not to take the initiative to cause trouble like this.

She didn't want to be the troublemaker that destroyed their relationship, and of course, she wouldn't maintain their relationship either.

This time she was the one who started it, and she got away with it.

As for the rest of the day, Qiao Muyi sat quietly in the audience, cheering for the contestants and waiting with hope -

The future she was looking forward to.

——————

"The heroine of "If You Are Strong, Go 10,000 Meters Up", a seeker of truth in the eyes of the magician, and a formal member of the Asgard..."

On a high platform above the Black Sea, a group of extraordinary warriors stood around the platform as if they were on a picnic, watching the female seeker create an incarnation and beat up two terrifying enemies with her fists.

They thought that the magicians of the World Tree were already very powerful. They could teleport, were not afraid of bullets, and had extremely strong abilities in combat, defense, movement, treatment, and reconnaissance. They could be called a one-man brigade. Many countries believed that if a magician carried out sabotage in a city, there would be no other way except to send top awakeners to surround and kill him - if destroying the city directly was not a solution.

Then, the seekers of the Asgard refreshed their knowledge again!

Especially the Yangtze River monks' troops - because the abilities used by the seekers are exactly the basic spells sold by the Xuan Country Law Network!

Moreover, the sense of intimacy felt by the seekers made them vaguely resonate with each other. That was the connection between the practitioners of "Xuan Jun Secret Records"!

At this time, Ren Zuo, who was thousands of miles away, was looking at the report on the computer.

"According to the conversation records of the four male magicians, from their grammar and vocabulary, it can be seen that their language habits come from the southeastern coastal area of ​​Xuan Country. If we further narrow it down, there is a 60% probability that it is from the Lotus Province area, and a 14% probability that it is..."

"Um……"
