Chapter 740: Promise! (1/2)

However, the same action resulted in completely different reactions. Bai Xiaofei found Qin Lingyan’s hectic manner quite appealing while Qin Lingyan frowned at his.

“You’re so scared of being seen with me?!” Her face was dark as she said this.

Bai Xiaofei was stupefied. Who am I? Where am I?!

“I’m scared that it will affect you. There are already a bunch of rumors about me, one more wouldn’t hurt me.” Despite his shock, Bai Xiaofei’s reply was more than just quick.

He was also gambling. He bet that Qin Lingyan had become accustomed to the fact that there were many girls around him.

“So you still know what you are!” Qin Lingyan snorted.

However, the topic safely passed. Bai Xiaofei somehow won the gamble! Seeing her walk away, he wisely caught up. Following her lead, the two left the academy.

Ever since the Ling Tianxia incident, the Infinite Mountain Range had quieted down. For both Starnet students and outsiders, it was currently near impossible to come across a decent magical beast there.

To put it simply, the magical beasts had been beaten scared. A furious Thunder Emperor was still fresh in their memory!

“Remember this place?” Qin Lingyan suddenly stopped and turned to look at Bai Xiaofei with a smile. Having left Starnet, she also selectively forgot those people who made her afraid to approach him.

At least, at this moment, Bai Xiaofei only belonged to her…

“Of course, Senior Sister, you almost gave me a beating here…” As memories surged from the depths of his mind, Bai Xiaofei felt warm in his heart.

Back then, he had used Qin Lingyan’s name to cause trouble everywhere, resulting in the Savage Class and Qin Lingyan’s helpers battling at this place. After that, there was little contact between them unless there was serious business that required it. However, it was also on that day that the name Bai Xiaofei was completely engraved into her mind.

“Can you not call me ‘senior sister’? Did you forget what you promised me?” said Qin Lingyan with an upset expression that made Bai Xiaofei’s heart ache.

To have affinity but no fate, ah…

“Lingyan…” Bai Xiaofei slowly uttered.

The next second, Qin Lingyan plunged into his arms and tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.

“Why?! I was the first person to know you! How could they all get ahead of me?! Is it because I wasn’t being obvious enough?!”

As her pent-up emotions flooded out, Bai Xiaofei felt like a boat in the stormy waves it created. His normally quick wits couldn’t keep up, and the only thing he could think of was to hold her and gently pat her back.
