"The plan was a huge success!"
After refusing Ye Yingluo's invitation to a celebration banquet, Su Mo slipped out of the school.
The reason Tang Wulin and his two companions suffered such a crushing defeat this time was entirely due to a lack of information.
Even though Su Mo tried his best to go easy on them, Tang Wulin and his team insisted on rushing to their own defeat.
If only they had seriously investigated Su Mo's Spirit before the match, they wouldn't have lost so badly.
After all, the flaws Su Mo displayed outwardly were quite obvious.
Just as Su Mo was thinking about where to wander today, a white figure in the distance instantly caught his attention.
"Is that... Gu Yue?"
Su Mo recognized her from afar.
Su Mo hadn't expected Gu Yue to act alone, separate from Tang Wulin.
Ever since Gu Yue entered Donghai Academy, she either went to school with Tang Wulin every day or stayed in her dorm room cultivating by herself.
This was the first time she had slipped out alone like this.
Could it be that the blow he dealt her was too great?
Watching Gu Yue's retreating figure, Su Mo pondered to himself.
Soon, Su Mo realized something and quickly followed her.
"Those not of our kind are sure to have different intentions!"
"Those not of our kind are sure to have different intentions!"
Along the way, this sentence echoed continuously in Gu Yue's mind as if it possessed some kind of magic.
It agitated Gu Yue so much that she didn't even notice Su Mo boldly following behind her.
It wasn't until someone secretly reminded her that Gu Yue finally became aware of Su Mo's presence.
"Why are you following me?"
Gu Yue turned her head, her face stern, and glared unkindly at Su Mo behind her.
"Nothing much, I'm just a little interested in you, Student Gu Yue."
As if he had long anticipated Gu Yue asking this, Su Mo promptly produced the excuse he had prepared.
"In me?"
Gu Yue pointed at herself, a hint of surprise flashing across her pretty face.
Gu Yue had not expected Su Mo to follow her just to say that.
"Yes! I'm very interested in you, Student Gu Yue."
Seeing that Gu Yue didn't believe him, Su Mo repeated it loudly again.
Su Mo's voice was so loud that it startled Gu Yue, who nervously looked left and right, afraid of being seen.
After confirming that no one was around, Gu Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The worry in her heart was also temporarily cast aside by Su Mo's antics.
"I'm not interested in you. If there's nothing else, don't appear in front of me again."
After briefly composing herself, Gu Yue looked at Su Mo and spoke very seriously, word for word.
Gu Yue originally wanted to warn Su Mo again, but considering that she had just lost to him, she could only swallow the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
"Rejected right off the bat? Student Gu Yue, you're so heartless!" Although Su Mo said this, he wasn't at all surprised by Gu Yue's rejection.
"Alright, here's my contact information."
"Student Gu Yue, if you ever change your mind, remember to find me!"
With that, Su Mo took out a business card from his storage ring and tossed it to Gu Yue.
Gu Yue was about to refuse when she saw Su Mo walk away.
"Lunatic!!!"
Watching Su Mo's retreating figure, Gu Yue cursed angrily.
Completely unable to figure out Su Mo's intentions, Gu Yue originally wanted to throw away the note in her hand, but thinking of the meaningful smile on Su Mo's face when he spoke, she ultimately, by some strange impulse, put it away.
"Master, should I take care of him?"
As soon as Su Mo disappeared from Gu Yue's sight, two figures flashed to her side.
These two were Gu Yue's bodyguards in Donghai City, Ditian and Xiong Jun.
After the incident with Na'er last time, Ditian truly dared not let Gu Yue stay in human society alone anymore.
Once bitten by a snake, one fears the well rope for ten years.
Even if Gu Yue hadn't lost her memory this time, Ditian would still insist on staying by her side.
Looking at the eager Xiong Jun, Gu Yue raised her hand to stop him, saying, "No need. Before we figure out Su Mo's background, neither of you should act on your own."
Then Gu Yue's gaze shifted to Ditian, and she softly said, "Investigating Su Mo's background is up to you, Ditian."
For Gu Yue, although her carelessness played a part in her defeat to Su Mo this time, Su Mo's own strength should not be underestimated.
At the very least, Su Mo's mental force was above hers; otherwise, she wouldn't have fallen into Su Mo's illusion so easily.
On the other side, after Su Mo left, he could clearly feel the gaze that had been lingering on him in the dark disappear.
When he chose to follow Gu Yue earlier, Su Mo didn't have too many thoughts; he simply wanted to make his presence known.
Just as Su Mo was thinking about what to eat tonight, his right wrist suddenly began to vibrate with a "buzz, buzz, buzz."
After glancing at the photo sent to him, Su Mo smiled, very happy.
In the photo, Tang Wulin's adoptive parents, Tang Ziran and his wife, were wearing white lab coats, busy with something at a workbench.
Although threatening someone's parents is despicable behavior, there was no stopping Tang Ziran and his wife from delivering themselves to him.
"Well done. Keep a close eye on them; absolutely nothing must happen to them!"
After a moment of thought, Su Mo quickly composed and sent a message.
"That's great, Master praised me!"
On the other end of the phone, after seeing Su Mo's reply, a pathological flush bloomed on the woman's cold, beautiful face, and even her breathing became heavy, her two smooth, long legs beginning to rub together.
But soon, as if remembering something, the woman quickly typed on the screen, "Master, that little golden-haired girl plans to challenge Shrek. Should I stop her?"
"Oh?"
Looking at the message sent again, Su Mo was a little surprised but quickly replied, "Don't mind her. If she wants to go, let her go."
"Maybe it will even lure out some extraordinary character."
"I understand!"
"Master, I've got a new outfit recently. Want to see it?"
With that, without waiting for Su Mo's refusal, the other party quickly sent an exceptionally revealing photo.
"Emmm..." Looking at the other party's full, almost bursting-out-of-her-collar chest, Su Mo's face remained impassive.
For no other reason than that he was truly willing but unable at the moment... Night.
Tang Wulin, who had spent the afternoon investigating Su Mo's information with Xie Xie, had just laid down in bed, ready for a good night's sleep, when a slightly scolding, even somewhat exasperated voice rang out in Tang Wulin's mind.
"Why did you refuse me this afternoon?"
"I could have easily helped you break the opponent's illusion with just a slight move."
The moment Tang Wulin fell into Su Mo's illusion, Tang San, hidden deep within Tang Wulin's Sea of Consciousness, had immediately warned Tang Wulin.
In Tang San's view, as long as he helped Tang Wulin break Su Mo's illusion, Su Mo himself would definitely lose his combat ability due to the backlash of the illusion.
As long as Su Mo, the strongest combatant, was eliminated, the remaining two members of Class One were nothing to fear.
But what Tang San hadn't expected was that Tang Wulin would rather lose the match than accept his help.
"Old Tang, my father always told me since I was little that one should live with a clear conscience; and act fairly and justly."
"Cheating in a competition with my own classmates—I can't do such a thing!"
Tang Wulin's voice was not loud, but it was exceptionally firm.
Of course, Tang Wulin also left one thing unsaid: he actually enjoyed the warm feeling in the illusion.
Tang San, who had originally wanted to say something more, fell silent after hearing Tang Wulin's words.
At this moment, Tang San couldn't help but inwardly complain about Tang Ziran and his wife.
Although Tang San saw all the good that Tang Ziran and his wife did for Tang Wulin.
But they had taught Tang Wulin to be too rigid.
Such a Tang Wulin would suffer greatly sooner or later.
But luckily, Tang Wulin was still young, and there was still hope.
Once Tang Wulin entered Shrek, under the impact of Shrek's culture, Tang Wulin would eventually change his naive ideas.
In this World, only the victor is righteous.
