Chapter 1718: Xu Sheng's Answer (Please Subscribe)_1

Seeing the situation, Ya Li spoke up to soothe, "Turbid World Elder, there's no need to worry so much. After being rejected, it's natural to have some emotions, but based on my understanding of Shen Yi, he won't do anything drastic!"

Feng Wu Yu chimed in, "Yes! Shen Yi has always been in charge of various matters at Shrek Academy, and his mental fortitude has always been outstanding. After the Sea God's Fate Matchmaking Assembly ends, a little guidance should resolve any issues!"

Long Yeyue remarked with a sigh, "However, speaking of which, Shen Yi isn't young anymore. If he could be with Xu Sheng, they would indeed make an enviable pair. Turbid World, these matters cannot be forced!"

Turbid World said with a pained expression, "Elder Long, I understand what you're saying. It's just that my heart aches for Shen Yi..."

In the end, it was Yun Ming who interrupted their conversation, "It's not over yet. Let's continue to watch, a turning point might appear!"

Of course, even he lacked confidence in his own words!

...

Taking a deep breath, Cai Yue'er said earnestly, "Those who remain on stage at the Sea God's Fate Matchmaking Assembly are the male students selected by Sea Fairies. Of course, it's not uncommon for multiple Sea Fairies to choose the same male student!"

"So, in the upcoming 'Hundred Years of Harmony' segment, the power will reverse. The male students will make their final choices. Of course, that's limited only to the Sea Fairies who chose them!"

"As for the Sea Fairies, just like in the second segment, you will have thirty seconds to speak to the male student you chose, to say what you want to say. Simply put, do your utmost to move the male student."

"Of course, there's one rule that I believe you may not be aware of—that is, each successful pairing might face a bridal snatch! However, as long as they can successfully reach the opposite shore, they will be deemed successful!"

Upon saying this, Tang Wulin solemnly said, "As expected, I knew the Sea God's Fate Matchmaking Assembly wouldn't be that simple. There's even a bridal snatch segment!"

Xie Xie waved his hand, "Yeah, but it shouldn't be a problem for us, since we are inner court students!"

Most of the participants here are outer courtyard students, far weaker than them.

Besides, Yuanen Yehui had chosen him, what could be more difficult than that?

Yue Zhengyu glanced at him, "Xie Xie, you might not have realized, but President Cai didn't say only one person can perform a bridal snatch!"

Xie Xie's eyes darkened, "Yue Zhengyu, what do you mean by that..."

Yue Zhengyu gave a wry smile, "Exactly, if there's a bridal snatch, we could very well be surrounded and attacked!"

Xu Lizhi's face suddenly turned ashen, and he said anxiously, "Ah... there's actually a bridal snatch segment, then doesn't that mean..."

Next to him, Ye Xinglan covered her mouth with a light chuckle, "Silly, you forgot that no other Sea Fairy chose you."

These words made Xu Lizhi's complexion freeze...

But then, as if he had thought of something, he swallowed hard and said, "Sister Xinglan, it may be true that no one chose me, but... that doesn't necessarily mean no one chose you!"

Academy President Cai didn't rule out the possibility that male students could carry out a bridal snatch!!

Ye Xinglan paused for a moment, then gently soothed, "Don't worry, I'll protect you; nothing will happen!"

Tang Wulin, however, propped his chin and pondered, "A bridal snatch segment, huh? That's quite interesting..."

But when he glanced at the other male students who were staring daggers at him, and the six or seven Sea Fairies beside them, his forehead immediately broke out in a cold sweat...

Yet after looking at Xu Sheng, he patted his chest and said, "Well, at least Teacher Xu is in a worse situation than me!"

If Tang Wulin was popular, then Xu Sheng was the target of many arrows, for at his side stood nearly a dozen Sea Fairies, including some of the few remaining female inner court students!

They all stared at Xu Sheng with intense gazes, declaring, "Elder Xu, you must be careful. If you do not choose me, I will certainly snatch you away in marriage!"

"Yes, Elder Xu, I've liked you for a very long time. It's only today that I dared to express my feelings. Although you will definitely not accept, I will not give up!"

"Teacher Shen, I'm sorry. Although I know you like Elder Xu, I also don't want to go against my own heart's wishes!"

"Teacher Shen, and all the junior girls from the outer courtyard, when the time comes, I won't hold back!!"

Xu Sheng ignored their words and turned to look at Shen Yi, with a complex expression he said, "Shen Yi, now that we've reached the final stage, it's time for me to give you a clear answer!"

Hearing these words, Shen Yi felt a jolt in the depths of her heart but still looked at him with hopeful eyes and said, "Hmm!"

Xu Sheng pursed his lips and said in an even tone, "I'm very sorry, Shen Yi, but I can't be with you. There are a lot of factors involved!"

Shen Yi's expression tightened, and she said subconsciously, "Xu... Xu Sheng, you're joking, right?"

It must be a joke, yes, just a joke...

Perhaps Xu Sheng wanted to give her a surprise!

Little did she know, before she could continue fantasizing, Teacher Xu uttered another heart-shattering sentence...

"Shen Yi, I'm very serious. I've always understood your feelings for me, but I've only ever thought of you as a close friend..."

At this moment, Shen Yi felt as if she had been struck a heavy blow, and her body began to shake slightly...

It was visible to the naked eye, her eyes had become extremely red, as she forcefully suppressed the desire to cry, "Then why... why did you still attend the Sea God's Matchmaking Festival?"

Xu Sheng said softly, "Shen Yi, I just thought that explaining things clearly to you at the Sea God's Matchmaking Festival might be the best choice."

Shen Yi suddenly raised her hand and swung it towards Xu Sheng's cheek...

To Xu Sheng, this action seemed to be in slow motion by a factor of ten, but he had no intention of dodging...

Of course, the slap didn't land, but stopped a few centimeters from Xu Sheng's cheek...

Tears trickled down the corners of Shen Yi's eyes, then she drew back, her voice hoarse, "Is that so, it turns out that all along, it was just my wishful thinking!"

"In the future, I won't bring this up again! I won't... bother you anymore."

As she spoke those words, she felt as if everything else had become irrelevant, like a body that had lost its soul...

Immediately after, she exuded the aura of a Soul Douluo and fled the Sea God's Matchmaking Festival at the fastest speed...

Cai Yue'er naturally witnessed what had just happened but did not try to stop it...

Because she could roughly guess that Xu Sheng had rejected Shen Yi; otherwise, Shen Yi could never have acted so rashly!

It wasn't until after Shen Yi had left that the rest of the Sea Fairies and the male students realized something was wrong...

"What just happened? Did Teacher Shen just leave?"

"I saw it; Teacher Shen seemed very angry as she left!"

"How come I didn't see anything? Could it have been an illusion?"
