Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

When Ren Ming introduced himself as Dai Lan's boyfriend, Wang Yi clearly noticed a hint of annoyance in Dai Lan's eyes, but she was too lazy to refute him, probably because it wouldn't make a difference.

Wang Yi immediately understood.

That makes sense; a cold beauty like Dai Lan would hardly put her mind to romance.

However, since Ren Ming dared to say that and could still stand here alive and kicking, he obviously had some strength, at least not much weaker than Dai Lan.

Otherwise, they would have been frozen into ice sculptures long ago.

"Boyfriend?" Jiang Yue, sensing Dai Lan's annoyance, asked, "Is it short for 'male friend'?"

"It shouldn't be." Wang Yi had a different opinion: "Generally speaking, friendship is a relationship of mutual choice, and it only counts if both parties agree. This person is probably the senior's classmate. After all, who becomes a classmate is not something one can choose."

"So it was a 'male classmate'." At this point, Wang Jiang emphasized the last four words and pointed out the problem very seriously: "Then it can't be simply called 'boyfriend'."

"Indeed," Wang Yi and Jiang Yue agreed.

Then all three of them turned their gazes to Ren Ming.

Ren Ming initially appeared indifferent, but then his brow furrowed slightly. After a moment's thought, he abruptly removed his sunglasses and angrily pointed at the three men: "Bullshit! Who are you calling gay?"

The surging crowd at the station entrance slowed down slightly, and the noise subsided considerably. Some passersby slowly walked by with their suitcases, then quietly pricked up their ears and listened attentively as if nothing was amiss.

After removing his sunglasses and seeing Ren Ming's entire face, Wang Yi realized that he was indeed a good-looking guy with delicate and three-dimensional features, probably comparable to Zuo Jinxiu.

Many passersby felt that Dai Lan and Ren Ming were quite well-matched as a couple after seeing their good looks.

However, considering what I just said... it wouldn't be a bad idea to be best friends, since they're quite a good match in terms of looks anyway.

"Gay men? Nobody said anything?" Wang Yi's face showed just the right amount of innocent confusion, then he looked at Jiang Yue and Wang Jiang to his left and right.

"Normally, following the logic of the previous abbreviation 'boyfriend,' shouldn't 'male classmate' be abbreviated as 'male student'?" Wang said seriously.

Jiang Yue then feigned sudden realization: "Oh... different people read different words. Some people are just more sensitive to certain words and are particularly good at grasping keywords. No wonder there's a saying that homophobes are closeted."

"Oh, I see. The rumors on the internet were right."

"Yes, that makes sense; it's not usually baseless."

Wang Yi and Wang Jiang echoed each other, looking as if they had figured out the truth, and quite obviously and subtly distanced themselves from Ren Ming.

The three of them asked and answered each other, singing in unison, their cooperation was so seamless and their understanding so profound. Although they didn't mention Ren Ming at all, and there were no sarcastic or insulting words, they still made Ren Ming so angry that his face twitched and he almost had a heart attack. He wanted to roll up his sleeves and fight on the spot.

It's like Empress Wu Zetian crying for her husband for the second time; she's lost her mind.

Ren Ming's opening remarks were so provocative. Whether he wanted to assert his dominance or take the opportunity to warn others, it would be strange if the three of them gave him a friendly look.

Pursuing Dai Lan isn't strange at all; you could even say he's brave. But this way of doing things is just asking for trouble.

If it weren't for the fact that Ren Ming and Dai Lan came together, Wang Yi and the other two would probably have found a cultivation room and taken him down long ago, without even needing to say a word.

Moreover, even if it's just talk, let alone a righteous three-on-one fight against Ren Ming, Ren Ming would definitely not be a match for any one of these three.

Don't you see? Wang Yi and his two companions can get along with Qi Xiaohao, so they can't be anything simple.

They don't usually use their words simply because they are more capable and too lazy to use them, but that doesn't mean they are weak in verbal skills.

"Alright, stop fooling around." Dai Lan gave the three of them a reproachful look, then smiled and smoothed things over: "He's my classmate. Although he's a bit cheeky and annoying, and his personality is so-so, he's pretty capable and not a bad person at heart."

Ren Ming took two deep breaths, barely managing to calm down, and decided to let bygones be bygones with these kids, considering Dai Lan's rare smile.

"Okay, this is your male classmate, welcome to Lanling City." Wang Yi greeted him with a smile.

Ren Ming crossed his arms, sneered, and looked as if he had swallowed a dead fly, but he didn't say anything more provocative, which could be considered as him learning his lesson.

However, Ren Ming secretly decided in his heart to find an opportunity to avoid Dai Lan and spar with these three guys.

Ultimately, a mage must rely on their strength to prove themselves.

Ren Ming knew that Wang Yi was very strong, but he didn't think he was much weaker.

Just like Hu Jin, you'll never understand the difference until you've done it yourself.

After exchanging simple and friendly greetings, the group left the station and all boarded Jiang Yue's car.

Those passersby who had quietly stopped beside the group, and those who had gone back and forth several times, also found it rather boring and continued on their way.

This gossip is really not very interesting.

In the SUV, Jiang Yue was still driving, Ren Ming was sitting in the passenger seat, and Dai Lan was sitting in the back next to the two kings.

Although Wang Yi was a little curious, as Dai Lan and Jiang Yue seemed to be quite familiar with each other, rather than just having met, he didn't ask any further questions.

Perhaps it has a long history.

Jiang Yue drove them directly to the hotel where they often dined together; Qi Xiaohao had already made the arrangements.

Although Jiang Yue was supposed to be hosting Dai Lan, could Qi Xiaohao be someone who did errands? Friends of friends are always his friends. He always finds excuses to have a meal together, let alone now that he has a perfectly legitimate reason.

Even Hu Lili was called over by Qi Xiaohao.

Upon seeing Dai Lan's appearance, Qi Xiaohao chuckled a few times, then winked at Wang Yi, leaving Wang Yi completely bewildered.

The meal went fairly smoothly. Dai Lan had always been aloof at school, but now she was quite friendly towards Jiang Yue and Wang Yi.

Wang Yi didn't find anything strange, after all, he was Dai Lan's savior, and Jiang Yue and Dai Lan had known each other for a long time.

Qi Xiaohao and the others were meeting Dai Lan for the first time, so they were unaware of the contrast between them.

Only Ren Ming himself was deeply shocked.

When Ren Ming first met Dai Lan in his senior year of high school, he felt that he had found his purpose in life. For this, he did not hesitate to change his ways, end his playboy career, and give up countless opportunities.

Ren Ming is handsome, rich, talented, and capable. He used to change girlfriends more often than he changed clothes.

Until he met Dai Lan, Ren Ming transferred to Dai Lan's school and began pursuing her relentlessly, like a persistent leech.

Even at the magic university, she chose to go to the same one as Dai Lan.

With Ren Ming's talent and ability, he could have easily secured a spot through internal admissions at any top university, yet he chose to attend Beijiang Magic University, a mediocre first-class university.

Ren Ming had been classmates with Dai Lan for three years. Although Dai Lan did not become his girlfriend, Ren Ming believed that he understood Dai Lan very well.

Unexpectedly, this meal left Ren Ming completely dumbfounded.

Over the past three years, Ren Ming has gone through countless hardships but has barely received a kind look from Dai Lan. It can be said that in the three years since Ren Ming met Dai Lan, all the smiles he has seen from her combined do not equal the smiles he has received in these few hours.

Although it wasn't directed at him, Ren Ming still managed to enjoy a few smiles, which was quite rare for him.

Heaven knows what kind of magic those two little brats, Wang Yi and Jiang Yue, possess.

Something must be wrong!
