Chapter 18 – Zither Calls Ming Xue (II)
—————————————————
Leaving Milan Inst.i.tution for Magic and Martial Arts to head outside to do shopping was very troublesome because the college itself had a dining hall inside its campus. Even though they sold ingredients outside, the distance from the inst.i.tution was at least 10 kilometers. This was when one was heading to either Milan City or to an even further village. And leaving the college from the Mixed District was not a short distance.
The eggs weren’t abundant. Although there were only four, they were arranged on the plate with their sh.e.l.ls peeled off. The glossy white eggs appeared to be br.i.m.m.i.n.g with a captivating feeling. He didn’t know why, but Ye Yin Zhu suddenly felt as though the corners of his eye was becoming somewhat moist.
“Sura, come eat the eggs too!”
“Since I was a child, I didn’t like eating eggs. Only you like it. What’s so tasty about eating eggs? Anyways, I’m already full.” Sura rapidly downed his thin porridge, not even sparing those eggs a glance. He then got up to go wash his bowl.
Ye Yin Zhu only ate a single egg. The remaining three eggs he placed aside, neatly and carefully covering them with a cloth. As he turned his back to Sura, he placed the parcel into his s.p.a.ce ring.
At this moment, an ice-cold voice suddenly echoed from the outside. “Is Ye Yin Zhu here?”
Sura was currently outside was.h.i.+ng his bowl. “You? Why are you looking for Ye Yin Zhu?”
“I’m naturally seeking him out because of business. Ye Yin Zhu, please come out and meet with me.” The voice sounded somewhat familiar. Ye Yin Zhu subconsciously left the dormitory room and headed out.
A girl dressed in a black robe stood enchantingly outside the door of the dormitory. The other nearby students who worked part-time had already risen and were subconsciously making detours to look at her. The person who came wasn’t a stranger, but the Dark Magic division first-year student, the general of the Freshman Compet.i.tion’s Dark Magic division—Yue Ming.
“Yue Ming?” Ye Yin Zhu was somewhat astonished as he looked at the beautiful girl from the Dark Magic division, standing there with her poor complexion. “What business are you seeking me for?”
Yue Ming coldly snorted. “Follow me.” Finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the woods beside the Mixed District.
“Ye Yin Zhu, don’t go.” Sura lowered the bowl in his hand before stepping in front of Ye Yin Zhu, blocking him. “Yue Ming lost her match with you. She might want to exact revenge against you in private. Listen to what I’m saying and stay here.”
Yue Ming crooned in disdain, “Ye Yin Zhu, aren’t you very impressive. What? You still want others to come to protect you?” She didn’t deny that she’d come to find Ye Yin Zhu to exact her revenge as her eyes exuded a provocative air.
Ye Yin Zhu wrinkled his brow and lightly pulled Sura to the side, saying, “It’s alright. I’ll return as soon as possible.” Once he finished speaking, he took large strides towards Yue Ming. Although Yue Ming gave Ye Yin Zhu a hostile feeling, he discovered that Yue Ming’s aura was very unstable. It seemed that her heart was full of anxiety and restlessness.
Sura said softly, “Be careful. If she ambushes you, shout loudly. I’ll be nearby.”
Ye Yin Zhu smiled slightly and looked at Sura. “Sura, I’ll protect you from now on. I won’t allow anyone to harm you.”
Sura stared blankly. He didn’t expect that Ye Yin Zhu would say such a thing at this moment. “You’ll protect me?”
