Chapter 80: Close Encounter with RuoLin and Xue Ni
Ruo Lin and Xue Ni simultaneously realized what was happening and abruptly turned around. However, before they could express their discontent, their gazes froze.
They stood there, speechless, gazing at Xiao Cang, who appeared handsome and refined, with a warm and charming smile on his face.
In just one glance, their hearts raced.
"Uh..." Ruo Lin, who was about to speak, found herself at a loss for words.
"Such a handsome young man, with such elegance. How can he be associated with the word 'pervert' ?"
Ruo Lin's confusion stemmed from her somewhat naive understanding of romantic matters.
Xue Ni, on the other hand, referred to as the "seductress" by Xiao Yu, had a more significant reaction.
She slightly opened her red lips, staring at Xiao Cang with a stunning expression.
So handsome!!!
Xue Ni felt her eyes completely captivated by Xiao Cang.
His looks are even more eye-catching than Xiao Yu's long legs!
In just an instant, Xue Ni felt herself getting lost in Xiao Cang's appearance.
"You two? What's going on...?"
Xiao Cang chuckled, looking at them, then teasingly waved his hand in front of their entranced eyes.
Immediately, both women blushed, hastily composing themselves.
"It's... it's nothing," Ruo Lin pretended nonchalance.
However, Xue Ni, with a mischievous glint, said, "Wait a moment, Ruo Lin, we shouldn't be embarrassed. It was this guy who offended us first."
"Do you know who we are? How dare you make such frivolous advances towards us?"
Xue Ni crossed her arms, scolding Xiao Cang with a charming gaze.
"Oh? Ladies, who might you be?" Xiao Cang feigned confusion.
"We are the recruitment teachers from the Canaan Academy!" Xue Ni declared proudly.
The news spread, and the surrounding people were instantly surprised. The words "Canaan Academy" were almost synonymous with strength in the eyes of ordinary people.
Since they were recruitment teachers from Canaan Academy, their strength must be formidable.
Those who had been eyeing Xue Ni and Ruo Lin with impure thoughts suddenly felt a chill down their spines.
"It turns out you are teachers from Canaan Academy. My apologies," Xiao Cang smiled politely, thinking, "I was right, it's really you two."
"However, about the accusation of frivolous advances, where did that come from?" Xiao Cang asked with a playful smile.
"Don't play dumb! You just mentioned that the girl's belly band had Dou Qi fluctuations, trying to tease us. How could a belly band have Dou Qi fluctuations?"
Xue Mei rolled her eyes, scolding Xiao Cang on the surface while secretly admiring his handsome face.
The surrounding crowd, hearing this, enjoyed the show.
Each of them assumed Xiao Cang was a young master from some wealthy family, attempting to flirt with the girls, but unexpectedly, he had picked the wrong targets.
"Why can't a belly band have Dou Qi?" Xiao Cang asked unexpectedly.
"You're really shameless. I have to expose you in public!"
Xue Ni snapped, picking up the belly band from the stall, saying, "I'll activate Dou Qi in it now. If it responds, it proves to be a treasure. If not, it proves you were just making baseless remarks to tease us!"
"Please, go ahead. I have nothing to hide," Xiao Cang said with a gentle smile.
"Humph, are you afraid? Afraid that I'll expose you in public?" Xue Ni sneered.
"Wait a moment," Xiao Cang suddenly said.
"What? Scared now? Afraid that I'll expose your lies in public?" Xue Ni chuckled.
Xiao Cang shook his head, "Miss, you've misunderstood. The reason I stopped you is that I thought, if you claimed earlier that I was frivolously teasing you, and if the result turns out different, would you apologize to me in public?"
"Humph, if it's really as you said, I will apologize to you," Xue Ni said defiantly.
"Just an apology might not be sufficient. Miss, you insulted my reputation in front of so many people. Shouldn't there be some other compensation?" Xiao Cang calmly suggested.
"You still want compensation?" Xue Ni was about to get angry, but Ruo Lin held her back.
"It makes sense. If what he said is true, we should compensate him. What kind of compensation do you want?" Ruo Lin asked.
"Nothing much, just want the two ladies to accompany me for a cup of tea, and let's be friends," Xiao Cang said with a warm smile.
Xue Ni felt relieved.
She had planned to use the pretext of exposing Xiao Cang to teach him a lesson at the tavern. Unexpectedly, Xiao Cang had willingly walked into their hands.
"No problem!"
Xue Ni agreed, holding her arms against her chest, teasing, "But what if this belly band doesn't have Dou Qi?"
"Feel free to ask anything," Xiao Cang replied.
"Alright! It's a deal!"
Xue Ni stopped talking and immediately activated her Dou Qi. Surprisingly, the seemingly dirty belly band emitted a faint light, transforming from a soft state to a hardness surpassing steel.
"This!!!" Both Xue Ni and Ruo Lin widened their eyes simultaneously.
The onlookers were also dumbfounded.
"This belly band is indeed a treasure!"
"It seems to be a personal defense magical tool!"
"This guy has good eyes!"
"It was my oversight; I really thought this young man just wanted to flirt with the two ladies."
...
Ruo Lin and Xue Ni stared at each other, wearing expressions of disbelief.
"This is actually a personal defense magical tool!"
Xue Ni looked embarrassed and apologetic, realizing she had misunderstood Xiao Cang.
Ruo Lin, on the other hand, was surprised and started contemplating. Even with her Great Dou Master strength, she couldn't sense any remaining Dou Qi on this magical tool, yet Xiao Cang could.
This implied that Xiao Cang's strength was at least above hers!
Possibly even above Dou Spirit Realm!
That was a figure with considerable influence even within the Canaan Academy outer branch.
"I am Ruo Lin. I apologize for the misunderstanding earlier, both on behalf of myself and my disciple Xue Ni. Please forgive us," Ruo Lin immediately introduced herself and, noticing Xue Ni's dazed state, grabbed her wrist, saying, "Xue Ni, greet the young master."
"Xue Ni greets the young master," Xue Ni blushed, bowing.
"No need for formalities," Xiao Cang replied with a faint smile.
"I wonder how the young master would like to be addressed?" Ruo Lin inquired.
"My last name is Xiao."
Xiao Cang did not reveal his full name. Judging from Gorla and Ke Zhen's reactions, Xiao Yu had probably mentioned him multiple times in the academy.
Not revealing his name would allow him to cultivate a sense of mystery while cultivating friendship with Xue Ni and Ruo Lin, keeping things interesting.
"Young Master Xiao," both Ruo Lin and Xue Ni respectfully greeted.
"Since it's now proven that I, Xiao Cang, am not the frivolous suitor you thought, shouldn't you fulfill your earlier promise?" Xiao Cang teased, his lips curving with amusement.
