Chapter 278 (1/2)
Stunning Edge - C278
“Who are you?” Xiao Ao Shuang stood on the spot with a frown and asked in a deep voice.
“Go back. You still can’t enter the ninth floor.” However, the voice did not answer Qi Ao Shuang’s question. Instead, it continued to persuade Qi Ao Shuang to leave.
Xiao Ao Shuang frowned and walked towards the entrance. However, an invisible force gently pushed her away, causing her to be unable to take even half a step forward.
Qi Ao Shuang tried several times but the result was the same. He finally gave up on the idea of moving forward. Although the owner of this voice stopped him from moving forward, one thing was certain, this person didn’t have any malice towards him. At this point, Xiao Ao Shuang understood and prepared to leave.
“Who are you?” Before he left, Xiao Ao Shuang asked.
“You will naturally know in the future. You can go now.” That clear voice rang out once more, but he still did not appear.
Qi Ao Shuang nodded, took out the scroll and tore it open. A white light flashed, and Qi Ao Shuang’s body slowly disappeared.
After Xiao Ao Shuang left, a man dressed in white appeared on the spot. He stood there silently, his supple hair flying gently in the air, his delicate face carrying a hint of sadness. His eyes were closed, and he let out an almost inaudible sigh before disappearing immediately.
By the time Qi Aushuang reached the outside of the Heavenly Pagoda, there was already a mentor waiting there to assist her.
“Eight stars.” The instructor reported Qi Ao Shuang’s result in shock, and after saying that, he looked at her speechless for a long time. Freshman, this student is a Freshman. To think that he would be able to reach 8-star on his first attempt at participating in the Trial!
After registering his information and receiving his Star Emblem, Xiao Ao Shuang turned around and left. She had been wondering in her heart who was the last person to hear this voice. Who exactly was that man?
When Xiao Ao Shuang returned to her dorm room, she found that there was no one there. Clearly, Wynes was not back yet. This trial lasted for a full month, and after it was completed, he still had to participate in the competition. That was two months after the end of the exam. The reason for this arrangement was because some students would inevitably be injured during the exam. These two months were to allow the students ample time to prepare.
During these three months of training and preparation time, there was no need to attend class. Naturally, the students who came out earlier would be more relaxed. Qi Ao Shuang spent the whole day in the library or cultivating alone in her dorm. Until he met Jonathan in the cafeteria at dinner one day.
Xiao Aushuang was alone in a corner eating a meal quietly, a tray placed in front of her. Qi Ao Shuang raised her head and saw the smiling Jonathan.
“Hehe, I thought I’d never see you again.” Jonathan sat opposite Qi Ao Shuang with a big grin on his face.
Qi Ao Shuang remained silent, only taking a sip of the soup.
“Speaking of which, I’m very curious. You seem to be fine after going to the ninth floor?” Jonathan ate his food and stared at Qi Ao Shuang with wide eyes.
“I didn’t go.” Qi Ao Shuang said lightly.
“Oh.” No wonder. No wonder. It’s not a place we can go now. “Last time, I almost died standing at the entrance.” Jonathan still had lingering fears on his face when he spoke, “The ninth and eighth level are two completely different things.” “Even though there is only a single level of difference, the difference is like the distance between heaven and earth.”
Xiao Ao Shuang was silent, listening to Jonathan’s words with a complicated feeling in her heart.
“Uh, aren’t you going to eat this?” “I like it, just give it to me!” Jonathan’s words flashed in front of Qi Ao Shuang’s eyes. When she looked down, she saw that the ham on her plate was gone.
Qi Ao Shuang looked at Jonathan speechlessly. Jonathan did not feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he was enjoying his meal.
“You sure are thick-skinned.” Xiao Ao Shuang said exasperatedly.
“This is called having good mental fortitude.” Suddenly, he raised his head and looked towards the door, and a strange expression appeared on his face.
Qi Ao Shuang turned around and looked at the direction Jonathan was looking. She was also stunned when she saw the person at the door. They all knew the person at the door. It was Lenny, but his face was covered by a veil. A person went to carry a meal in silence.
“Also?” Why is the hen wearing a veil today? Pretending to be mysterious? It’s been hard for her not to bother Dittos since she came out of the Tower. ” Jonathan narrowed his eyes and frowned as he looked at Lenny, who was carrying food to a corner to eat, and said in a schadenfreude manner.
Of course, she knew why Lenny wanted to cover his face. It seemed that the things that had entered her body that day were beginning to take effect. Lenny’s face should be beginning to darken a little.
Jonathan meant Cao Cao, Cao Cao Cao. Just as he finished speaking, Dotans appeared at the entrance of the cafeteria.
“Hey, Dittos, this way.” Jonathan waved at Dittos.
Dittos glanced at them quietly, then walked straight towards them with the meal in his hands. Lenny, who was standing in the corner, looked at him with resentment. When he saw Jonathan’s gloating sneer, he immediately lowered his head.
“Dittos, this way.” “Ham, do you have any?” Jonathan craned his neck to look at Dittos’s plate.
Dittos sat down, set the plate down, and Jonathan’s fork poked through it.
“Thank you.” Xiao Ao Shuang looked at Dotans and said softly.
“No thanks.” “Yes, sir,” replied Dittos, and he began to eat his meal in silence.
Jonathan chewed his ham, blinked at the silent Dittos, then looked at the calm Xiao Aoshuang, puzzled.
“You two know each other?” Jonathan blinked, not understanding. He had never seen these two speak, nor had he seen them befriend each other. Why did it feel a little strange between the two of them?
Jonathan asked, and neither of them answered. They ate in silence, and drank the soup.
After dinner, Qi Ao Shuang was about to leave.
“Hey, Qi Ao Shuang, there’s still two months until the competition. We don’t have any classes these two months, how about we go out for a walk?” Jonathan suddenly asked for a stay.
“I’m not going.” Xiao Ao Shuang replied faintly and was about to leave again.
“Let’s go together. I’m going back to Nine Heavens City. All of you can come at once.” At this time, Dittos gently put down his spoon and looked at Xiao Ao Shuang as he said indifferently.
“Alright.” Xiao Ao Shuang only said one word.
Jonathan’s eyes widened. He looked at Qi Ao Shuang, then he looked at Dittos. There was still no expression on their faces.
“See you at the school gates tomorrow morning.” Dittos said in a deep voice.
“Alright.” After replying to her words, Qi Ao Shuang left.
Jonathan was still in shock as he watched Xiao Ao Shuang walk away. Then he looked at Dittos who stood up silently. The doubt in his heart was growing bigger and bigger.
Dittos stood up and slowly walked towards the door. Jonathan hurriedly followed behind him like a noisy crow. He whined, “Hey, when did you two know each other?” Since when did their friendship become so good? How could this be? Obviously, he and I are on better terms. Why did I invite him not to agree to my request, so you only need to say a word and he will agree to it? “Why is this so? Why?”
Dittos ignored Jonathan, who was following him, and continued to walk in silence without any expression on his face. Dittos understood that it was due to his reminder that Qi Ao Shuang had passed the eighth level of the trial and was grateful to him that she agreed.
The next morning, when Qi Ao Shuang arrived at the school gate, she found Dittos and Jonathan already waiting for her.
“Sorry I’m late.” Qi Ao Shuang greeted.
“No, we were too early.” “Yes, sir,” Dittos replied lightly.
Jonathan’s jaw was almost dislocated. Blinking his eyes with all his might, he stared at the Dittas in front of him. Was he seeing things wrong? Did he hear wrong? How could Dittas be so polite to a man?
“Let’s go.” Dittos led the way.
“Alright.” Qi Ao Shuang nodded, following behind. Jonathan followed, full of questions.
The three beauties continued to walk forward until they arrived in front of the gigantic lake. Then, they landed on the floating boulder. All three of them looked outstanding on the outside, and Dittos and Jonathan were well-known figures on campus. This made them even more eye-catching.
When the three of them walked together, the turnaround rate was ridiculously high. Everyone was trying to guess who was the red-haired youth who was walking with Dickens and Jonathan. Why wasn’t Lenny with them, but this strange red-haired handsome boy?
The three of them walked down the long flight of stone steps.
“Dittos, this time I want to eat the one I ate last time, and …” Jonathan began to chatter.
Qi Ao Shuang and Dittos remained silent.
