Douluo: The Dragon King - I Planted the Divine Tree in Douluo.

Chapter 116 Ye Xinglan Gets Standed Up!

"Farewell!"

Taking advantage of Shen Yi's daze, Su Mo left those words and prepared to slip away.

"Wait!"

Shen Yi snapped out of his daze and, without thinking, grabbed Su Mo's sleeve to stop him from leaving.

"Seriously, lady, what are you trying to do?"

Looking at Shen Yi, who was clinging to his sleeve and refusing to let go, Su Mo was speechless.

She was the one who was about to draw a clear line, and now she's the one who's determined not to let me leave.

Are all the Shrek academy students mentally unstable?

"Um... you can't leave yet!"

Seeing the growing impatience in Su Mo's eyes, Shen Yi spoke up somewhat guiltily.

Su Mo sighed, then leaned forward slightly and whispered in Shen Yi's ear.

"If you keep doing this, I'm going to reveal your identity as Shrek teacher to the public."

"You should be well aware of the consequences if this gets out, right?"

Upon hearing that Su Mo was going to reveal his identity, Shen Yi froze on the spot, his face instantly stiffening.

"Shrek teacher harasses a minor in the street"

Just thinking about those words sent chills down Shen Yi's spine.

His fingers trembled, and he subconsciously loosened his grip on Su Mo's sleeve.

Seeing this, Su Mo turned and ran without hesitation, afraid that she would be entangled by Shen Yi again.

"It's over, it's over!!!"

Standing there in shock, Shen Yi watched Su Mo's figure disappear into the crowd, feeling as if the sky had fallen.

Shen Yi really couldn't figure out which part of the process had gone wrong.

She clearly only wanted Su Mo to distance himself from Ye Xinglan and for Su Mo to delete Ye Xinglan from his friend list, but now she's the one being put in a difficult position.

The thought of Ye Xinglan's furious reaction upon learning the truth sent a chill down Shen Yi's spine. She certainly didn't want to be chased and hacked by Ye Xinglan wielding the Star God Sword.

"No, Su Mo has to delete Ye Xinglan from his friends list."

Thinking of this, Shen Yi quickly followed in the direction Su Mo had left.

As long as she can win over Su Mo before returning to Shrek Academy after this mission, everything will still be alright.

As a Soul Saint, especially one born in Shrek Academy, Shen Yi easily found Su Mo in the crowd.

As Shen Yi watched Su Mo head in the direction he was heading, a strange feeling arose in his heart.

"Is this... the Ragnar Hotel?"

As the most well-known hotel chain on the continent, Ragnar's hotel is frequented by the wealthy and powerful.

Moreover, judging from Su Mo's age, he might also be a student participating in this Tianhai Grand Competition.

The thought that Su Mo might appear at tomorrow's opening ceremony made Shen Yi feel terrible.

At tomorrow's opening ceremony, her team will be performing on stage, and there will be a segment where they will introduce themselves.

If Su Mo were to hear Ye Xinglan's name, her lie would most likely be exposed.

Shen Yi didn't even dare to imagine how serious the consequences would be.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi made a desperate decision to find Su Mo tonight and use force to coerce her.

……

As night falls, neon lights flicker on both sides of the road, the cool sea breeze carries away the daytime heat, and the noise of the crowd is even louder than during the day.

Ye Xinglan, who had arrived early at the place where she had agreed to meet Su Mo, sat on a high stool, swinging her two fair legs back and forth.

Ye Xinglan dressed up beautifully today.

She specially changed into a light green dress, the lace-trimmed hem swaying gently with the restless movements of her calves, making her look fresh and lively.

The golden ponytail shimmered softly under the light, and a small hair clip adorned her temple, like a star quietly twinkling in the summer night.

Ye Xinglan held a glass of iced lemonade in her hands, and glistening water droplets slid down the side of the glass.

However, Ye Xinglan had no interest in tasting it; all her attention was focused on the doorway.

"Tap tap tap~"

Hearing footsteps at the door, Ye Xinglan's eyes lit up, and she looked towards the door with anticipation.

Under Ye Xinglan's gaze, a black-haired boy with bright eyes and white teeth, about the same age as her, slowly walked in and approached her step by step.

Upon seeing this, Ye Xinglan excitedly reached out to greet them.

Upon hearing a familiar yet slightly puzzled voice, Ye Xinglan froze on the spot.

Because her attention was entirely focused on Tang Wulin, Ye Xinglan did not notice Xu Lizhi following behind Tang Wulin immediately.

Ye Xinglan only noticed Xu Lizhi's presence when Xu Lizhi took the initiative to greet her.

"..."

Looking at Xu Lizhi following behind Tang Wulin, Ye Xinglan's smile became very stiff, and her raised arm froze in mid-air.

"Sister Xinglan, what are you doing here?"

Compared to Ye Xinglan's unhappiness, Xu Lizhi was very excited after seeing Ye Xinglan.

After they finished eating at Xibak this afternoon, Ye Xinglan made an excuse to leave the group and act alone.

This hurt Xu Lizhi, who wanted to have a private talk with Ye Xinglan, but it's not too late to meet Ye Xinglan now.

Thinking of the scene of senior students cheering him on and giving him advice today, Xu Lizhi subconsciously clenched his fist.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Ye Xinglan's pretty face, which was still a little chubby and so dark it looked like ink could drip from it.

Seeing Ye Xinglan about to explode in anger, Xu Lizhi was so frightened that he swallowed the words that were already on the tip of his tongue.

Ye Xinglan ignored Xu Lizhi and instead looked Tang Wulin up and down before asking, "What are you doing here?"

"..."

Tang Wulin frowned. He disliked Ye Xinglan's condescending tone and immediately retorted without hesitation, "What we're here to do is none of your business."

"you……"

Ye Xinglan didn't expect Tang Wulin to dare to talk back to her. She subconsciously clenched her fists but ultimately didn't lash out.

Normally, she would definitely teach Tang Wulin a lesson.

However, considering that the Tyrannosaurus Warrior would be arriving later, Ye Xinglan chose to back down, as she didn't want the Tyrannosaurus Warrior to see her unladylike side.

"snort!"

Ye Xinglan snorted coldly, turned around and ignored Tang Wulin and Xu Lizhi, and picked up her lemonade to slurp it down.

Xu Lizhi, who was standing to the side, widened his eyes upon seeing this. This was the first time he had seen Ye Xinglan, the eldest sister, take the initiative to back down. He had just been prepared to stand between the two of them.

"Want some more?"

Looking at Xu Lizhi, who was standing there hesitant to speak, Tang Wulin asked him with a sullen face and annoyance.

Tang Wulin and Xu Lizhi were not originally familiar with each other.

However, after finishing the blacksmiths' meeting today, Tang Wulin, who was starving, decided to channel his grief and anger into his appetite and go to the restaurant to eat to his heart's content.

Unexpectedly, he ran into Xu Lizhi, a big eater with an equally astonishing appetite, at the restaurant.

Out of respect for heroes, Tang Wulin took the initiative to greet Xu Lizhi and added him as a friend on WeChat.

As soon as it got dark, the two of them agreed to go out for a late-night snack.

Faced with the temptation of the food, Xu Lizhi couldn't help but swallow hard, and finally couldn't resist the temptation and nodded.

"Sister Xinglan, would you like to grab some late-night snacks with us?"

Before leaving with Tang Wulin, Xu Lizhi made sure to invite Ye Xinglan.

Feeling annoyed, Ye Xinglan glared fiercely at Xu Lizhi, which frightened Xu Lizhi so much that he hurriedly left with Tang Wulin.

Watching Xu Lizhi flee in panic, Ye Xinglan curled her lips in disgust.

As time slipped away, the once bustling courtyard gradually quieted down.

"He didn't come!"

"They're not here yet!!"

"Why isn't it here yet?!"

Ye Xinglan muttered to herself as she idly kicked the legs of the high stool.

The crisp "thump-thump" sound echoed in the courtyard, but there was no response.

In the vast space, she was now all alone, with only a long, lonely shadow.

Ye Xinglan bit her lip, her expectations gradually being filled with frustration and disappointment, and her originally excited and hopeful eyes slowly became clouded with gloom.

With more than an hour already gone since the agreed time, Ye Xinglan had no choice but to admit that she had been stood up, no matter how unwilling she was to admit it.

One more chapter will be added at noon!

There were so many people returning from the National Day holiday that everyone got drunk.
