Hai Lanlan was wearing a white school uniform, which, although loose, could not hide her beautiful curves.

Her face was a little chubby, and her smile had a kind of innocent cuteness.

At this moment, he raised his arm above his head and shook it slightly, signaling to Lin Shuxuan. This action caused his school uniform to shake again.

"What's wrong? Did someone bully you?"

During this period, he would go to spar with Qin Feng whenever he had free time, and he really neglected Hai Lanlan.

Although the opponent has entered the Transcendent Realm, his martial arts cultivation seems to be extremely shallow, making him a complete weakling. Coupled with his dull mind, he might actually be bullied.

Hai Lanlan shook her head and poked her chest with her finger.

"I have no money for food."

The bully was actually himself... Lin Shuxuan was ashamed. He had forgotten that Hai Lanlan was not a winner in the early admission round, and the school only issued 200 credit points per month.

He pocketed all the spoils he had won in the competition, without sharing them with the foodie girl and Ye Lingyue.

Neither of them asked.

"Don't you have any faults?" Lin Shuxuan stared at Hai Lanlan, scrutinizing her, and then something came to mind.

"200 credits is equivalent to 2 yuan in currency, and you ate it all?"

Hai Lanlan nodded firmly.

"What authentic gluttonous pig..." Lin Shuxuan found it amusing and led the gluttonous pig towards the cafeteria.

"What would you like to eat? It's on me."

"Um..."

Hai Lanlan hesitated for a moment as she looked at the dazzling array of dishes displayed at the window, from top-grade exotic animal ingredients to exquisite specialty dishes and ordinary home-style meals.

I'll stick with the most basic steamed bun.

To be frank, young lady, you really don't have much knowledge... Lin Shuxuan said with disdain, but thanks to this, he waved his hand.

Eat whatever you like.

......

The cafeteria was bright and clean, and two boys sat facing each other.

One had short, golden hair and an exceptionally handsome appearance; the other was incredibly muscular, able to pinch a cup large enough to cover an average person's palm with just two fingers.

"Luo Jiuge, have you heard of the name Lin Shuxuan recently?"

The handsome man leaned back leisurely in his chair.

"No, you know I've never cared about these things. What, is he very strong?"

Qin Po nodded.

"Ugh, I can't stand you martial arts fanatics! What's so great about practicing martial arts? Life is too short!"

As he spoke, he winked at a passing girl.

The other person was about to get angry, but when they saw his face clearly, they immediately lowered their head and ran away shyly.

Luo Jiuge laughed heartily, then asked:

"Who is this Lin Shuxuan, his stepson?"

"Neither."

"Oh? Then you'd better hurry up and find an opportunity to spar with him. After a while, he won't be qualified to compete with us anymore."

Luo Jiuge spoke as if it were a universally acknowledged truth of the Federation.

He got up to leave, but his gaze suddenly stopped on a certain spot.

Breathing is slightly sluggish.

He had never seen such a lovely girl.

Her features were delicate and refined, and her eyes were innocent and ethereal, like those of a fawn.

"Stop looking, she has a boyfriend."

"A shadow looms," Qin Po reminded him.

Luo Jiuge's face immediately turned ashen. Just as she was about to turn and leave, she discovered the blind spot.

"No, no one would let such a cute girlfriend eat steamed buns. They must just have a normal relationship."

......

Hai Lanlan was munching on a steamed bun bigger than her face, her cheeks bulging like a hamster eating. Lin Shuxuan couldn't bear it after all, so he bought her a bottle of water and handed it to her.

"Thank you." Her voice was muffled.

Just then, a cheerful voice came from behind:

"Hello, my name is Luo Jiuge. Eating too much of this kind of thing isn't good. I know of some exotic beast ingredients that can beautify the skin. Would you like to try them?"

Lin Shuxuan sized up the stranger who had just arrived.

He has smooth blond hair and a handsome appearance; he bears some resemblance to the previous Luo Jiuli, suggesting a possible kinship.

She was wearing a carefully crafted smile at that moment, and she certainly looked quite charming.

Hearing someone insult her favorite food, Hai Lanlan glared angrily, but the sight only made her look more adorable on her soft face.

Luo Jiuge's smile froze, realizing something was wrong, and she tried to salvage the situation.

Lin Shuxuan's voice rang out.

"She told you to get lost, didn't you hear me?"

As the young master of Luo's Heavy Industry, when had he ever been offended like this? Luo Jiuge's expression changed.

At this moment, Qin Po's voice rang out.

"Luo Jiuge, that is Lin Shuxuan. Apologize to him."

The blond young man's forehead veins bulged:

"Why? He even insulted me!"

"They're clearly a couple, and you went and asked for trouble. Whose fault is that?"

Luo Jiuge glanced at Hai Lanlan, who was munching on a steamed bun, and then at Lin Shuxuan. Seeing that neither of them denied it, she immediately sighed softly.

"I'm sorry, Lin Shuxuan, I didn't expect someone to be so stingy as to give their girlfriend such cheap food."

Lin Shuxuan laughed in exasperation... Does this idiot know how much Hai Lanlan can eat? If she lets herself eat to her heart's content, will she even be able to save up her credit points?

"You know you're wrong, so why aren't you leaving?"

Luo Jiuge left, but Qin Po remained where he was, extending his hand to introduce himself.

"Hello, my name is Qin Po, a junior member of the Qin family."

The man was quite polite, and Lin Shuxuan shook hands with him politely in return.

"I really like your Dragon Fist. Once you've mastered the Dao, we can have a friendly spar."

A mountain-like, heavy force surged from my palm, sending a shiver down my spine.

The Qin family's bloodline seems to emphasize physical strength; the people he encountered all seemed very strong... Lin Shuxuan sized up the man in front of him, who was as strong as an iron tower.

"We'll see when the time comes."

They were sent away.

Hai Lanlan looked at him somewhat shyly.

"Can I still eat these steamed buns?"

The girl, realizing she had caused trouble for Lin Shuxuan, was clearly very embarrassed and became somewhat awkward.

"Eat up, eat up."

Lin Shuxuan waved his hand dismissively, since the money was originally Hai Lanlan's salary.

At the same time, a sense of worry for my father welled up in my heart.

Hai Lanlan and Ye Lingyue are both naive and inexperienced, so it's inevitable that some lecherous men will come up to harass them, especially Hai Lanlan, who is childlike and brainless.

It feels a bit dangerous to leave them both living alone at school...

Lin Shuxuan realized that it was possible to buy a villa on campus, as long as you accumulated enough credits.

Indeed... the Federal Military Academy is still too dangerous... I need to have them move in with me... Lin Shuxuan looked at the clumsy Hai Lanlan and made up his mind.

Luo and Qin left the cafeteria.

"Lin Shuxuan was weaker than I imagined, but his muscles and bones were very strange."

He may have undergone special physical modifications.

"That must be the way he defeated Tang Hao, and also the reason why he has been reluctant to accept the path of cultivation. He is no match for me."

Qin Po offered a calm and collected commentary.

"I hope we can meet soon, otherwise the gap between us will only widen, and there will be no point in us competing against each other."

"Is that so? Now I think he will be my greatest enemy."

Luo Jiuge's expression was solemn.

"Why? Because he didn't choose to become a stepson in a particular family, and the gap between him and us will only widen."

Qin Po was puzzled, then saw Luo Jiuge look up at the sky.

Night had already fallen.

"You don't understand, a man's victory or defeat is never in the arena."

……

Back in the dormitory, Li Rufeng was fiddling with instruments on the windowsill.

"I know how to uncover the truth behind that ghostly figure."
