They thought he was there to find Pu Yueling and her group, but to their surprise, after Pu Shangji scanned the school, he didn't follow the path they had planned.
Rather, it is.
Go straight to the last position.
Several gossipy orcs stared wide-eyed, their eyes revealing disbelief.
"Hey, hey," one orc shoved the orc next to him.
"Wasn't he just publicly rejected by Ling Yunxi a few days ago? Why is he going to see her again?"
"Who knows? Maybe they went to confront them?"
As soon as the orc finished speaking, it immediately attracted the attention of many orcs.
At this moment, Pu Yueling also thought that Pu Shangji had come to find her, and was preparing to receive the envious glances from the other beastmen in the school.
But she discovered that he was looking for the person she hated.
A surge of anger welled up inside her.
Xiao Yeyu, who had been staying in the schoolroom since finishing his meal, initially thought Pu Shangji had come to see Pu Yueling when he saw him enter.
Unexpectedly, it turned out they were going to find the chubby little girl.
He snorted coldly.
Does she start flirting with other men again once she starts losing weight?
I really thought she had started to change.
She rejected my marriage proposal, yet she still keeps in touch. What a scumbag!
Xiao Yeyu was so angry that he didn't even notice the feathers on the back of his neck standing on end.
Pu Shangji scanned the entire school before finally pinpointing Ling Yunxi's location at the back.
He frowned slightly. Most of the students in the school were males who were taller than her.
Although Ling Yunxi is not short, she is still not as tall as the males.
Despite the gossipy stares of the other orcs in the academy, Pu Shangji's eyes were sharp, and he didn't take them seriously at all, walking straight inside.
Until they reached Ling Yunxi's desk.
His eyes regained a hint of gentleness, but he still looked indifferent.
After placing her package on the table, he frowned slightly and asked in a low, icy tone, "Why are you sitting here?"
When Ling Yunxi saw the breadfruit on the table, she immediately moved the bag of breadfruit over and hugged it.
She rested her chin on the animal skin bag and looked at him.
“It’s fine here,” she said coldly.
"What's so good about it? You can't see anything during class."
Pu Shangji's face was gloomy as he glanced at the other empty seats in the classroom.
"Isn't there an empty seat up ahead?"
Seeing this, the orc next to the empty seat quickly placed his things on it.
Pu Shangji's eyes turned cold, and he was about to go over when Ling Yunxi reached out to stop him: "No, I don't want to be ostracized and targeted by those people again in the future."
"I've finally managed to get used to things here..."
She spoke a little softer for the last sentence, but Pu Shangji still heard it.
His silver-gray eyes suddenly darkened.
"She didn't come here on her own."
A female cat's voice rang out.
"She wasn't there that day; your sister took her seat, so she had no choice but to come here."
Ling Yunxi was somewhat moved when she heard the voice that spoke on her behalf.
Looking up, I saw the female who had answered the arithmetic problem in one go that morning, not far away.
The female cat gave a "you're welcome" smile, turned around, and sat back down in her original spot.
As soon as the feline female finished speaking, the sound of discussion among the orcs filled the school.
"Pu Yueling actually took someone else's seat?"
"If the Holy Mother allows it, it doesn't count as usurpation, right?"
"Even so, you can't just sit in someone else's seat. She came back later, and even though she knew it was someone else's seat, she still kept sitting there..."
"It seems that Ling Yunxi gave it to her."
"She probably didn't intend to get up, that's why she let me get up..."
These words, though not loud, reached the ears of some people.
Ling Yunxi snorted softly as she listened to these words.
She never heard these kinds of comments when she was ugly and fat.
Pu Shangji's cold gaze suddenly turned icy. His eyes first fell on Ling Yunxi, and his face showed a hint of apology.
Then, when he turned to Pu Yueling, his expression turned serious, and the corners of his mouth turned slightly down.
At this moment, Pu Yueling felt the gazes of the entire school and Pu Shangji, and her face flushed red. She suddenly slumped onto the table.
Whether from crying or something else, her body was trembling.
Before long, before Pu Shangji could even get over, Pu Yueling, her eyes red, walked with her head down to Ling Yunxi's table under the gaze of the orcs in the school.
“Ling Yunxi…” She clenched her fist, looked at Yan Yanpu’s cold and indifferent face, and gritted her teeth.
"I didn't mean to take your seat..." After saying that, her eyes immediately turned red and glistened with tears. She lowered her eyes and looked very uncomfortable.
"I know, I gave it to you, so just sit here and don't feel guilty. Go back now," Ling Yunxi said softly.
She just wanted the two of them to leave her seat as soon as possible; she needed to continue studying her runes.
“Hmm…” Pu Yueling responded softly, raising her eyes to look at Pu Shangji.
Seeing his serious and cold expression soften, she awkwardly returned to her seat after he nodded.
Pu Shangji looked at Ling Yunxi with gentle eyes and guilt, and placed his hand on her head.
Ling Yunxi's pupils dilated as she was about to look up.
"If you have any questions about your studies, come to the Enlightenment Academy and ask me." Pu Shangji leaned down, his voice low and gentle. "Hmm?"
He gently stroked her hair comfortingly, then got up and left.
This scene was witnessed by Qi Liyuan, Xuan Yize, and Jiang Yichuan, who were entering from outside.
Qi Liyuan's expression was indifferent as he watched Pu Shangji and Ling Yunxi's intimate actions. He looked disgusted and his brows furrowed slightly.
But a strange feeling lingered in my heart.
When Xuan Yize caught a glimpse of Pu Shangji's back as he rose from Ling Yunxi's table, a gesture that sparked much speculation, a complex emotion flashed in Xuan Yize's eyes, even though he couldn't see it.
