Ren Suo glanced at the door of the guest room and thought that there was no sound coming from inside - it didn't make sense. These two people bumped into each other, so they should be surprised, right?
But even though Ren Suo had the help of "Insight into the World", there was no sound at all.
Could it be that they have also learned spells like silencing...?
The doorbell stopped ringing. Ren Suo went to open the door, but found that there was no one outside.
The elevator stopped at the first floor, and there was no one in the corridor. At this moment, a cold wind blew, and Ren Suo couldn't help but shiver.
Could it be that some blind ghost came to Tianlian Academy... ?
Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. The murders and arson in Lianjiang City were all done by Yu Kuangtu. Go to the Countermeasures Bureau!
Don't mess with me, I'm super fierce. Once I equip the "Lotus Jade Pendant", I can beat the monsters and demons into experience points!
He quickly closed the door and locked it, but before Ren Suo could breathe a sigh of relief, his super hearing keenly detected the faint crackling sound of ice flakes exploding outside.
The rumbling white fog blurred the moonlight. Ren Suo walked to the balcony and saw a huge icicle rising from the ground, reaching the same height as the fourth floor. The top of the icicle blossomed like petals, revealing a handsome figure sitting on the throne inside.
The cold moonlight fell on his slender figure, and the rising mist made him look like a prince who walked out of a fairy tale.
“This is…” Ren Suo stared at him with wide eyes: “…The Frozen Throne!?”
"Shh." Bai Ji put a finger in front of his mouth and laughed softly, "It's late at night, don't disturb others."
As he spoke, he leaped lightly from the throne and landed steadily on the balcony. The icicles that were more than ten meters high also quietly turned into ice mist and dissipated. There was not even a sound of falling into the water, as if nothing had happened just now.
Ren Suo couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Awesome!"
His poor language made it impossible for him to think of any other words of praise except "awesome" and "666" - seeing such a cool and awesome appearance, he felt that "a real man should act like this".
Bai Ji smiled and picked up the box in his hand: "Happy birthday."
"Well...thank you." This was the third time that Ren Suo had received a blessing tonight. He felt no emotion at all. He even thought that he might not be able to finish the three cakes...
"I made it myself." Bai Ji said, "It's a cantaloupe fruit cake."
"You can also bake cakes?" Ren Suo curled his lips. "If I take a picture and post it on WeChat Moments, telling everyone that this is a gift from Bai Ji, I'm afraid I can get hundreds of likes... Although the number of my friends is not even in the three digits. The cakes made by Bai Ji, the 'Ice Emperor' of Lianjiang, this nickname can be used as a trademark to harvest a wave of young people's wallets..."
"Then you have to finish it tonight." Bai Ji smiled and said, "I spent a lot of time making the cake, not for you to sell it."
"I'm just talking. I don't know how to take photos." Ren Suo waved his hand: "You don't even know that someone from my hometown actually asked me out for a blind date."
"Oh?" Bai Ji said in a long tone, "And then?"
"Then my mom told me that the other party actually wanted to get to know you, and used the Thirty-Six Stratagems of Stratagems to attack Guo through a false route, hoping that I could arrange for you to meet the other party..." Ren Suo sighed, "I just revealed my information about Tianlian College, and someone wanted to get to know you. If others knew that I was quite familiar with you, I'm afraid my phone would be blown up."
Bai Ji sat down, crossed his legs, untied his scarf and put it on the sofa, and said with a smile: "Indeed, several entertainment companies have sent invitations directly to the college, hoping that I can become an idol or form a youth group, participate in variety shows, etc...."
Ren Suo asked with a smile: "Is there any rich woman who wants to support you?"
Bai Ji lowered his eyelids and said softly, "She's not just a rich woman..."
Bai Ji's low hum echoed: "I don't like being teased like this..."
"Sorry, sorry." Ren Suo said immediately, "I'm used to talking trash with Zhao Huo and the others like this. I just feel that your appearance has brought you many benefits and happiness that a mortal like me can hardly imagine."
"It's okay." After hearing Ren Suo apologize immediately, Bai Ji brushed his bangs and said with a smile: "I don't think there are many benefits or happiness. I don't want to use this advantage to gain anything."
"Really?" Ren Suo shrugged. "In fact, it's clear if you look at you and Yu Kuangtu. Yu Kuangtu has more actions than you, and he uses flamboyant fire, which is no worse than your ice... But do you know what Yu Kuangtu's nickname is among the people?"
"What is it?"
"Akainu. Although Yu Kuangtu himself is quite satisfied with this nickname, Zhao Huo even envies him...but compared with your 'Ice Emperor', people feel that he is overwhelmed in terms of appearance."
Ren Suo held his chin up and said, "Look, someone came to you to be an idol, but Yu Kuangtu didn't get that treatment. He doesn't even have fans. He even had to trick his girlfriend into coming back with a bunch of skewers..."
"Really? On the contrary, I envy Yu Kuangtu." Bai Ji said: "Idols, fans, fangirls... what do these mean to us monks? On the contrary, Yu Kuangtu can find someone who truly loves him, which is more real than all vanity."
"Ren Suo, do you still remember my previous predictions about the future?"
Ren Suo was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "You mean, you used to think that the world would be destroyed sooner or later by a supernatural being with all the power in one? If individualism takes precedence over collectivism, society will inevitably collapse on its own..."
"I still think so now," Bai Ji said, "If it weren't for the existence of the Asgard World Tree, the sources of chaos in the Destiny live broadcast would sooner or later lead to greater disasters that would befall mankind..."
"The individual combat power of the extraordinary heroes that are now being praised by various countries, such as You Jian and the angel Zach, can no longer be limited by conventional tactics. If they launch lightning destructive attacks, seeking only to destroy but not to kill the enemy, how many countries can resist their attacks? We must use extraordinary people to control them."
"Although there are still only three gods appearing on Earth, and the Church of the Three Gods is not very popular, and its doctrine advocates helping others, but who can guarantee that there are no other gods? And will the other gods be evil gods who crave killing and chaos?"
Noticing that Ren Suo wanted to speak, Bai Ji waved his hand and said, "Although I am a pessimist, I will also work hard on my cultivation and will not slack off because of pessimism. I just want to say..."
"Life is short, and no one knows if the world will end the next day, so I don't care about other people's love. After all, if I really reach the last moment of my life, it won't be my fans who will be with me."
"So I envy Yu Kuangtu very much. No matter how big a crisis he faces in the future, or how dark and cold the night he encounters, there will always be a firefly in his heart that will make him never lose hope and make him try his best to return to someone."
Ren Suo: “…”
I also know that falling in love is a very good thing, but you have elevated it to the level of "you must do it once in your life" and "you are not a human if you don't do it", which makes me, the birthday boy, envy Yu Kuangtu...
"But... you are good-looking. If you like someone, it would be easy to get them, right?" Ren Suo changed the subject.
Bai Ji smiled and said, "Maybe not. Sometimes, my appearance may be an obstacle..."
Is being handsome a hindrance? Is this world really like what Zhao Huo said, with beautiful girls who are crazy about fat otakus?
Click.
The two looked at the French window on the balcony that was knocked by the pebbles again. Bai Ji asked curiously, "Is it easy for the balcony here to be windy? There are quite a few stones on the ground."
"Hehe." Ren Suo said, "Not really, it's just that it's very windy today. By the way, I didn't plan to celebrate my birthday, and I didn't have any other activities, so I had nothing to do after eating the cake. You..."
"Then let's talk about it all night long." Bai Ji suddenly got a little excited and said, "When I was in college, I didn't live in a dormitory. I always longed for the kind of activities where roommates stayed up all night chatting... After joining the Yangtze River Army, we were so busy with training every day that everyone fell asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow and didn't want to chat at all."
Chat like in the dormitory?
Ren Suo thought about it, when he was in college, the topics he usually talked about before going to bed at night were usually "girls in other majors", "what time to get up tomorrow morning", "complaining about the teacher's random class", all of which were closely related to school.
What else is there to talk about now? Do you still remember Lagrange's mean value theorem and the applications of Fourier transform?
"Chatting all night?" Ren Suo sighed, thinking that he had promised Dong Chengling and Qiao Muyi to chase them away, so how should he say it now? "But I'm actually quite sleepy, and I want to go to bed early."
"That's fine. Then we can chat while sleeping. If you feel tired, just go to sleep directly." Bai Ji nodded.
"Chatting while sleeping?" Ren Suo was stunned.
"Yeah, why don't we sleep together?" Bai Ji said, "The school bed can barely accommodate two people. I'm not fat, and neither are you... This is the only way to have a dormitory atmosphere!"
Although the beds in school can indeed accommodate two people, what I mean is that you should go back to the dormitory and sleep!
Ding Dong——
The doorbell rang, and Ren Suo immediately stared at Bai Ji and said, "If someone saw you at my house late at night, no one would suspect that I had any improper relationship with you, right?"
Bai Ji was stunned for a moment: "...No."
Ren Suo breathed a sigh of relief: "Then just stand here and don't move. I'll go open the door—"
Pop.
As Ren Suo took a step, Bai Ji held his shoulder.
Bai Ji said calmly, "Who do you think is coming?"
"It must be my sister." Ren Suo could no longer think of any other possibilities.
"Maybe not. Maybe it's Cheng Ling, maybe it's... Qiao Muyi." Bai Ji showed a cold smile: "It doesn't matter if I'm at your house late at night, but if a woman comes to your house late at night and finds me there... she will definitely be embarrassed, right?"
"Why are you embarrassed?" Ren Suo was a little confused.
"If a woman goes to a man's house late at night, she will appear to be disrespectful and promiscuous. If she is discovered by others, she will be extremely ashamed." Bai Ji emphasized the words 'disrespectful' and 'promiscuous': "For the sake of the other person's reputation, you should ask him to leave as soon as possible. That would be more appropriate."
"...but the person outside is definitely not Dong Chengling or Qiao Muyi." Ren Suo said with certainty: "It's my sister."
Because Dong Chengling and Qiao Muyi are in the guest room behind you!
Bai Ji's mind raced. He had long noticed that Ren Xingmei particularly disliked him - although he didn't know where this hostility came from, he could guess with his toes that if Ren Xingmei found out that he was here, she would definitely pester Ren Suo and ask him to let Bai Ji go home.
It was not easy to find a reason to come here, Bai Ji was unwilling to miss this opportunity. His original plan was to boil the frog in warm water, but Ren Suo was almost alone, and his warm water was almost turning into ice water. He had to use boiling water to speed up the process tonight!
Moreover, the person who came might not be Ren Xingmei...
Since there is no legitimate reason...
Then we can only start with the newcomer!
If it’s anyone else, chase them away immediately; if it’s Ren Xingmei, find a way to bribe her!
Bai Ji's eyes turned cold and he opened the door first!
"Brother..." Ren Xingmei, who was holding a cake box outside the door, had an accident in her throat before she could even finish her words. She stared blankly at Bai Ji who opened the door, and her computer was offline for a while.
"Sister, you're a little late." Ren Suo sighed.
"Ren Suo, I just happen to have something I want to discuss with Xingmei..." Bai Ji kindly took the cake box from Ren Xingmei's hand and put it aside, "Can I talk to her alone? It won't take long."
Ren Xingmei looked at Bai Ji and felt extremely strange - why are you, a loser, at my brother's house so late at night?
Aren’t you my brother’s love rival?
And I was planning to celebrate my brother’s birthday tonight and then play games together all night long... How come you, a Cheng Yaojin, showed up so suddenly?
What else do you want to talk to me about? Did you find out that I helped Xianyu cheat in the advanced math class?
Ren Xingmei thought for a moment and thought that she had to get this dead man's head out as soon as possible, so she nodded and said, "Well, brother, I have something to say to Teacher Bai too."
Ren Suo looked at them and wondered what these two guys could discuss... and what they would suddenly think of as soon as they met and had to talk about first?
Could there be some misunderstanding? For example, Ren Xingmei discovered Bai Ji's unspeakable secrets...
Although Bai Ji and him had a deep bond, Ren Suo didn't dare to be so confident, so he said, "Okay, but we have to talk inside."
"No problem." Bai Ji made an OK gesture: "Then let's talk in your bedroom."
Ren Xingmei had no objection, so she followed Bai Ji to the master bedroom. But when she passed by the guest room, she suddenly opened the door and pulled Bai Ji in!
She didn't want anyone else to enter her brother's bedroom!
"Let's talk here...right?"
After coming in and closing the door casually, Ren Xingmei just finished speaking when she discovered that the light in the guest room did not come from the moon, but from the flickering candlelight!
Dong Chengling sat upright on the chair, his hands on his thighs, his expression cold; Qiao Muyi sat on the edge of the bed with his legs crossed, his elbows on his knees, his chin supported by his palms, and he looked at them with his head tilted.
Bai Ji was slightly startled when he suddenly saw them. He looked at the two birthday cakes on the table and an expression of "as expected" appeared on his face: "So... everyone is the same."
He had long been aware of Dong Chengling's feelings for Ren Suo, but Qiao Muyi's appearance did surprise him a little, but he soon got relieved - no wonder Qiao Muyi targeted him intentionally or unintentionally.
"Sure, Bai Ji." Qiao Muyi said with a smile, "You really know how to use your gender advantage. You even call it 'reminiscing about the days in the dormitory' to sleep on the same bed with me?"
Dong Chengling said calmly: "'No self-respect', '**'... Bai Ji, it's not a good thing to slander others behind their backs."
Bai Ji smiled and said, "What are you talking about? I didn't cross the line, and I didn't mention anyone by name. I was just interacting and discussing normally with Ren Suo, but I didn't curse anyone... On the contrary, Qiao Muyi, don't you have to go to work tomorrow? You're at Tianlian College so late, how long have you been here?"
Dong Chengling said, "Xiao Qiao, when did you come? You said you wouldn't rush me, but do you want to force yourself on me tonight?"
Qiao Muyi chuckled: "I have a day off tomorrow, so I have nothing to do. But Dong Chengling, do you really have the right to criticize me? Who is the one who wants to force himself on me?"
Bai Ji said: "Cheng Ling, when I talked to you about Ren Suo, you already... It turns out that you have been secretly monitoring my actions. I have trusted you in vain!"
Qiao Muyi smiled and said, "Everyone has their own little ideas, but normally no one is worthy of our use... Why do you think Cheng Ling is a selfless person?"
Ren Xingmei, who was standing by, was already dumbfounded. In terms of intelligence, she could beat Ren Suo in all aspects, so she quickly analyzed what happened -
These three people came alone to see Ren Suo to celebrate his birthday!
These three people have feelings for Ren Suo that go beyond friendship!
These three people all have evil intentions against Ren Suo that may violate the law!
Wait, wait, I just thought there was a Teacher Dong, or a Lin Xianyu - Lin Xianyu's silly personality is particularly suitable for Brother Sha Diao - I never thought that brother, you have reached the level of being popular with both men and women!
I can understand Dong Chengling being a pure girl, virgins are attracted to each other; I can barely understand Bai Ji's love without boundaries, after all, Ren Suo had similar achievements before. But how come even a vixen like Qiao Muyi would fall for you?
Aren't you playing games at home? Don't you even play online games? How come you can't even play games well, and you can turn into an evil person with your own personal guards while playing?
Ren Xingmei was stunned by the huge amount of information. Qiao Muyi glanced at her and said, "The door has been sealed with 'Anonymous Sound', so no one outside can hear the sound from here... This is a rare opportunity, so let's talk about it."
"Xiao Xingxing, who do you want to be your sister-in-law?"
Ren Xingmei's face darkened.
She has lived for 18 years, and the word she hates most is "sister-in-law", no doubt about it.
……
Ren Suo glanced at the guest room, moved his ears, and found that he still could not hear any sound from inside.
However, Dong Chengling and Qiao Muyi were both inside, so he was not worried that anything would happen. They were probably discussing things like 'What the hell are you here?', 'What the hell are you here too?', 'You brought a cake too', 'We won't be able to finish it later'.
Ren Suo felt that everyone who should have come had arrived, so he ignored what happened in the guest room, took out two bags of spicy fish from the snack box on the coffee table, walked to the balcony, turned over and jumped down.
A few days ago, Ren Suo got up late and found that his clone was going to be late, so he quickly asked his clone to put on clothes and rush to the school hospital without even wearing a top. Waiting for the elevator was quite time-consuming, and the clone on duty at the school hospital was his 100th clone, so Ren Suo just let his clone jump down.
There is nothing wrong with the clone.
Ren Suo tried it himself and broke his leg.
However, if he jumped down by stepping on the air conditioner, it would be quite safe. But Ren Suo rarely did this, mainly because it would have a bad influence, and it would be too embarrassing if other students saw it - other students would just fly down, but you jumped down by stepping on the air conditioner.
But it was late at night now, and there was definitely no one outside, so Ren Suo naturally didn't care about the impact.
In just three seconds, Ren Suo landed on the ground. He looked around but didn't see any cat, so he called out softly, "Black Bell~?"
Black Bell has done a great job tonight, having given four consecutive warnings. It must be rewarded. Ren Suo brought down two bags of spicy fish to reward it, and there will be a big meal waiting for it in the future.
However, Ren Suo took a quick look and found that Hei Lingdang was not downstairs and he didn't know where she had gone.
He sniffed. The enhanced sense of smell granted to him by "Cat Evolution" had actually long been covered by "Insight into the World", but it also had its own unique features: for example, he could smell the scent of cats more easily.
He turned to the back of the dormitory building and soon saw Black Bell appear in the shadows at the corner. However, Black Bell was not unable to sleep in the winter, but squatting beside a girl, watching the girl carving words on the ground with her shining index finger, and the yellow bell hanging on the red ribbon was ringing.
"Student Gu?"
Gu Yueyan, who was scribbling on the ground, looked up in surprise and saw Ren Suo appear in front of him. He was so scared that he sat down on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "You, you, you, don't come over here."
Ren Suo immediately stopped and raised his hands: "Okay, no problem, I won't come over, don't be nervous, don't shout."
Gu Yueyan took a deep breath, reached out to wipe off all the traces on the ground, stood up holding the black bell and said, "You are not here...how come you are here?"
"Shouldn't I be the one asking you this?" Ren Suo said with a smile, "Shouldn't you be in the student dormitory? This is the staff dormitory."
"I..." Gu Yueyan was silent for a long time: "I... have other things that require me to come out at night."
Anything else?
Ren Suo frowned and pondered for a long time, then suddenly realized: "You sneaked out to destroy flowers and plants to practice awakening spells!?"
Gu Yueyan had a history of practicing awakening spells in the back mountain late at night. Now the academy has banned individual supernatural training, and all students must practice in the combat training ground. It is normal for a diligent student like Gu Yueyan to practice secretly.
Gu Yueyan was slightly startled, and said slowly: "I didn't destroy the flowers and plants...but it is true that I trained awakening spells."
"Why did you find your way here when you didn't go to the back mountain..." Ren Suo curled his lips and threw two bags of spicy fish over.
"This is what Black Bell likes to eat. You are familiar with it, so you can feed it."
Gu Yueyan caught it steadily and asked curiously, "Black bell?"
"Hmm? I don't know what it's called, anyway I call it Black Bell, are you familiar with it?" Ren Suo said with a smile, "Go back early after you finish your training. Although Tianlian Academy is very safe, it's still a bit cold for a girl to wander around outside alone... and the weather is so cold, you should just hide in bed and enjoy yourself."
Gu Yueyan said: "Enjoyment is not a word that should appear in the mouth of a cultivator."
"You..." Ren Suo shook his head and turned away.
Gu Yueyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and held the black bell in front of his eyes to block the figure that was about to leave. At this time, the black bell yawned and licked his lips, as if despising Gu Yueyan's cowardice.
Bad cat!
"That's right."
At this moment, Ren Suo suddenly turned back, frightening Gu Yueyan so much that he pressed himself against the wall and looked at him nervously, "What's wrong?"
"If you want to train alone late at night next time... just look for me." Ren Suo scratched his head and said, "It will be troublesome if you get hurt. It's better for me to play with my phone beside you than for you to train alone, just like you hired me as a medical assistant before."
Gu Yueyan blinked and said, "I don't want to hire you."
"It's free, but only once." Ren Suo said, "Well, didn't I promise you before that as an apology, I would do you a favor for free."
Gu Yueyan was stunned.
"You... still remember?"
Of course I remember. I talked to you for so long, and your mind kept talking about this matter... Ren Suo muttered in his heart, but now he also recalled that incident and said, "Xiang City Ailan Lake, I almost let you get killed there. As an apology, I promised to help you."
"If you need anything, please don't hesitate. I will definitely help if I can."
That was before "The Magician Under the World Tree" was reflected in reality. He accompanied Gu Yueyan to awaken, but the boat capsized while they were rowing in Lake Alan. The two of them were almost dragged into the secret realm by the Holy Grail in Lake Alan...
Now Lake Ailan seems to have become a military restricted area, and the monks from the Yangtze River and Yellow River troops go in to kill monsters every once in a while.
"don't want."
Noticing Ren Suo's surprised expression, Gu Yueyan said, "If the accompanying treatment alone can offset the help, then it's too cheap for you."
Ren Suo smiled bitterly: "Then... have you decided what you want me to do?"
"No, let's talk about it later." Gu Yueyan asked: "If I don't mention it, will you always owe me?"
"yes."
"Then remember that you owe me."
"Okay, there's no interest anyway." Ren Suo shrugged and turned to leave.
"besides."
Gu Yueyan lowered his head, stared into Hei Lingdang's big eyes, and said softly: "...Happy birthday."
Ren Suo blinked: "Thank you, do you want to come up to my house to eat cake?"
"I don't want to go to your house late at night."
"Then come over to eat tomorrow. I don't think I can finish it."
Seeing Ren Suo finally leave, Gu Yueyan breathed a sigh of relief and sat down softly against the wall. Hei Lingdang meowed, broke free from her arms, jumped onto the gift box she hid on the other side of the corner, and knocked two amusement park tickets away.
Gu Yueyan quickly picked up the two coupons, but after thinking about it, she gave a bitter smile and put the coupons into her pocket.
She picked up Hei Lingdang, held its two front paws, and squeezed its little paws. Hei Lingdang was very considerate and did not stretch out its paws. It meowed and let Gu Yueyan rub it.
She raised her head, her eyes glowing, as if reflected in the moonlight, and as if the moonlight was reflected in her pupils.
"Forget it, I won't watch it anymore." Gu Yueyan lowered his eyelids and sighed: "Ah...Xianyu will definitely say that I'm a coward later. She accompanied me for an entire night to buy gifts..."
"It would be nice if you could become a human... I feel very close to both you and Teacher Fan, but Teacher Fan doesn't teach freshmen..."
"It would be nice if you could be my bestie, Luna."
