None of Your Business

"Boss, I'll take this room!"

At the front desk of the Rose Hotel, Dai Mubai, with an arm around a pair of twins, said directly to the receptionist.

He didn't care about Tang San and Xiao Wu, who were hesitating nearby, wondering whether to take the last available room.

"Excuse me, brother, but it seems we were here first," Tang San spoke up when he saw Dai Mubai trying to claim the room.

"So what?"

Dai Mubai said indifferently.

He knew the hotel's situation well—he could book his room, and the two behind him could still find a room.

"Who cares? Get lost!"

But Xiao Wu's words immediately ignited the tension.

Soon, the scene from the original story, where Tang San and Dai Mubai first meet, began to unfold!

Everything that had just happened was witnessed by Su Xing and Zhu Zhuqing from the stairway on the second floor.

Including the scene of Dai Mubai intimately holding the twins.

It was truly a scene caught red-handed!

Zhu Zhuqing's hands clenched tightly, and she looked furious.

"Judging by your reaction, that guy holding the twins must be Dai Mubai, right?"

"To think you came looking for him. He clearly doesn't care about you anymore. He's quite the playboy—two at a time, how enviable!"

Sensing Zhu Zhuqing's anger and disappointment, Su Xing smirked and fanned the flames.

"Hmph!"

Zhu Zhuqing shot a cold glance at Dai Mubai, who was now fighting Tang San, and with a huff, turned and headed back to her hotel room.

Su Xing didn't follow her. If he stayed around to say more now, it would only make Zhu Zhuqing dislike him. She needed some time to calm down.

"But even with all this, Zhu Zhuqing will probably still join Shrek Academy. What a headache!"

To be honest, Su Xing wanted to stop Zhu Zhuqing from joining Shrek Academy if he could.

But it seemed like this wasn't enough. In the original story, even after knowing about Dai Mubai's behavior, Zhu Zhuqing still chose to join Shrek Academy.

Tomorrow was the day of Shrek Academy's admissions, and Su Xing found it hard to change Zhu Zhuqing's decision in such a short time.

"We'll see how it goes. If it doesn't work out, it's no big deal. Douluo Continent has plenty of beautiful girls, not just her."

Su Xing shook his head, put the matter aside, and focused on the fight between Tang San and Dai Mubai.

"Blue Silver Grass..."

"Tang San is strong with his hidden weapons. Why choose a control system?"

"Even flowers or leaves can be weapons. Grass, wood, bamboo, or stone can all be swords!"

"If he keeps enhancing the poison and sharpness of Blue Silver Grass and combines it with his hidden weapon techniques, he wouldn't need the fragmented Eight Spider Lances shards. He'd have endless hidden weapons at his disposal!"

Watching Tang San's use of Blue Silver Grass, Su Xing couldn't help but feel frustrated.

Despite how skilled Tang San appeared with the Blue Silver Grass in the original story, it was largely thanks to his prior life's abilities. Without those hacks like Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track or immunity from fire and ice, would he still win?

"Well, that's Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang for you… what kind of great disciple could he even teach?" Su Xing sneered.

Su Xing had not let go of the grudge from being rejected by Yu Xiaogang—he still remembered it vividly!

After watching for a bit, Su Xing lost interest. His current strength surpassed theirs by far.

Once the fight ended, Su Xing turned back and left. He had no intention of greeting Tang San—it wasn't necessary!

...

"Are you still planning to join Shrek Academy?"

The next day, after checking out of the hotel, Su Xing frowned as he watched Zhu Zhuqing head toward Shrek Academy.

So she was sticking with her choice, huh?

"My business is none of your concern!"

To Su Xing's surprise, Zhu Zhuqing coldly replied with a sharp remark before speeding off.

Compared to yesterday, Zhu Zhuqing was now even colder, radiating an aura that warned people to stay away.

"Damn it..."

Watching Zhu Zhuqing's icy back, Su Xing's expression shifted before turning cold as well.

Su Xing was genuinely annoyed.

It wasn't just Zhu Zhuqing's attitude that bothered him.

He also realized from her behavior that she still cared deeply about Dai Mubai—otherwise, she wouldn't have been even colder than before.

Anyone would be upset discovering this!

"So you care that much about Dai Mubai? Fine, I'll deal with him today!"

Now Su Xing was truly angry. With a sneer, he slowly followed Zhu Zhuqing from behind.

As for Zhu Zhuqing, he had given up hope.

But he wasn't just going to walk away.

This time, Su Xing didn't catch up with Zhu Zhuqing. Instead, he trailed behind her.

Since she had been so cold to him, there was no way he would try to force a smile and catch up with her again!

After a while, Zhu Zhuqing noticed that Su Xing wasn't following closely and seemed to have given up pursuing her. She felt a bit surprised.

"Has he given up?"

"That's good!"

Zhu Zhuqing muttered to herself, no longer paying him any attention.

Yet, she couldn't help but feel that something about Su Xing had changed—though she couldn't pinpoint exactly what.

But she didn't care to figure it out.

...

Before long, Su Xing followed Zhu Zhuqing to the dilapidated Shrek Academy, which looked more like a rundown village.

They arrived just in time to witness a Soul Emperor teacher from the academy showcasing his martial spirit and soul rings to intimidate the crowd!

Many parents and children were shaken, and those who were causing trouble quickly left with their kids.

Su Xing also noticed Dai Mubai standing next to the teacher.

He saw that Dai Mubai had already spotted Zhu Zhuqing.

Su Xing smirked and hurried over to Zhu Zhuqing, who was about to pay the admission fee. "Teacher, here's the registration fee for both of us. We're together."

As he spoke, Su Xing handed over the fee for both himself and Zhu Zhuqing.

He couldn't remember the teacher's name and didn't care to.

Beside them, Dai Mubai's face instantly changed when he saw this scene, glaring at Zhu Zhuqing with a questioning look.

Zhu Zhuqing had originally planned to say she would pay her own fee, but seeing Dai Mubai's accusatory glance, she decided to remain silent.

Compared to Su Xing's actions, she was more upset with Dai Mubai's behavior.

"Alright, come over here so I can check your bone age and martial spirit," the teacher, Li Yusong, said after taking their fees.

"You did that on purpose?"

Zhu Zhuqing quietly asked Su Xing.

"Of course. I wanted to see if he still cared about you. Well, you saw it—he's mad. I would've preferred if he wasn't."

Su Xing shrugged, openly admitting his intentions while sounding regretful.

"Hmph!"

Zhu Zhuqing huffed but said nothing more as she stepped forward for the bone age test.

"Bone age is good. Now, release your martial spirit for me."

After checking Zhu Zhuqing's hand bones, the teacher nodded.

"Hell Spirit Cat!"

Zhu Zhuqing promptly released her martial spirit.

"A top-tier martial spirit! Excellent!"

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's spirit and soul rings, the teacher's eyes lit up with admiration.

Next, it was Su Xing's turn.

"Your bone age is fine. Now, release your martial spirit and soul rings."

"Teacher, I only have a martial spirit, no soul rings yet."
