: Encountering Shrek's People Again

"Hahaha!"

Yu Shui smiled.

Seeing that Ning Shu had relaxed a bit and wasn't so tense anymore, he felt relieved.

The chef served dishes one after another. Ning Shu looked at the food in front of her. She didn't have much of an appetite, but she couldn't say she had no appetite either. The original owner's taste was quite similar to hers.

After she had eaten and drunk her fill, she went back to her room to rest.

Yu Shui originally planned to take her for a stroll around the sect, but Ning Shu said that things hadn't been fully settled yet, and that her wandering around the sect would only attract criticism, so it was better for her to behave herself.

Yu Shui couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he could only let her do what she wanted.

Ning Shu's time outside this time was not very long, and Bibi Dong had been monitoring her all along. Even after several months, she was still unwilling to trust her.

If it weren't for the fact that she really had that kind of relationship with those two worshippers, Bibi Dong would probably still be locking her up in the secret room.

It's really hard to keep it up.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Ning Shu jumped out of the window and left.

It's time to go find Hu Liena and the others.

The people Bibi Dong sent to monitor her this time were undoubtedly the three members of the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall.

Fortunately, Ning Shu had a good relationship with the three men, which gave her some freedom of movement. However, she had to visit them every now and then to avoid making things difficult for them later.

Sneaking through the night, Ning Shu left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and headed straight for the hotel.

Hu Liena and the others were settled in a five-star hotel not far from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. The hotel was open 24 hours a day, so even at midnight, it was still brightly lit.

Ning Shu entered the hotel, intending to take the elevator directly to find Hu Liena and the others. However, as soon as she pressed the elevator button, the elevator doors slowly opened, revealing Tang San and his group, whom she knew all too well.

"Ning Shu?"

Inside the elevator, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar stood together. Xiao Wu was teasing Tang San, Dai Mubai and Oscar were whispering to each other, and Ma Hongjun was staring ahead, naturally being the first to see Ning Shu.

He made a sound without realizing it, which drew the attention of the others around him.

Dai Mubai looked at the person in front of him, "Ning Shu?"

Xiao Wu stopped moving and remained silent.

Oscar subconsciously looked behind Ning Shu, but didn't see the person he wanted to see. A look of disappointment appeared on his face, but then he seemed to remember something, sighed slightly, and said nothing.

Ning Shu glanced at them, her face expressionless: "Are you going upstairs?"

"No, let's go downstairs," Ma Hongjun answered first.

"Go downstairs and get out quickly, don't block the elevator, I need to go up." Ning Shu made way for them to come out.

Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai exchanged a glance, and Dai Mubai shook his head before walking out first.

Immediately afterward, the group walked out one after another. Ning Shu entered the elevator and was about to press the floor button when Ma Hongjun suddenly approached her. "Ning Shu, how have you been these days? I've missed you so much while you were gone!"

Although Ning Shu's appearance hadn't changed drastically in the few months since they last met, she had matured a bit. She exuded a strong mature woman's aura, which was exactly the type Ma Hongjun liked. Ning Shu was already very beautiful, but with the change of clothes, her temperament was also different.

In response to Ma Hongjun's greeting, Ning Shu simply curled her lips without batting an eye. "Thank you for thinking of me, but I didn't miss you. If you want your head caught in a trap, then stay here."

After saying that, she pressed the close button.

Ma Hongjun quickly pulled his head back and stood outside the elevator doors. "That's too cruel!"

"Silly cup."

As the elevator doors slowly closed, Ning Shu rolled her eyes, which Ma Hongjun happened to see.

His eyes widened. "No!"

When I tried to confront them, the elevator doors had already closed.

"No, Boss Dai, she insulted me!"

Ma Hongjun said unhappily, turning to look at Dai Mubai as if seeking justice.

Dai Mubai nodded, indicating that he understood. "I know she insulted you, but Fatty, didn't you insist on going up to her? It's not that I can't understand why she insulted you."

After saying that, he chuckled and joked, "Do you think she's prettier than before, so you want to pursue her? Let me tell you, she likes guys like me, the muscular type!"

"Tch!" Ma Hongjun rolled his eyes. "And muscles too, Boss Dai. Have you forgotten? Ning Shu said she doesn't like you anymore. She said that months ago!"

"Ouch! You brat!" Having publicly humiliated Dai Mubai, Dai Mubai slapped Ma Hongjun on the back of the head. He snorted and said, "I don't like her either. I don't want someone like her who keeps throwing herself at me. She's cheap!"

"Ah, yes, yes, cheap, she's cheap!" Ma Hongjun echoed, nodding repeatedly. The two of them were treating Ning Shu as a joke.

Tang San listened from the side, but didn't think anything of it.

But Xiao Wu is different. As a girl herself, how could she not care about these words at all?

Who knows if these boys have been talking badly about her behind her back?

The thought of them discussing her with lewd smiles made Xiao Wu feel nauseous.

"Xiao Wu, what's wrong?" Tang San noticed that something was wrong with the person next to him and quickly asked with concern.

Xiao Wu looked up at Tang San. Tang San was clearly unaffected by the conversation between Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun. She pushed away Tang San's hand that was helping her up, shook her head, and tried her best to remain calm: "I'm fine."

"Are you too tired? Do you want to go back and rest?" Tang San continued to ask with concern.

If a girl says she's fine, it usually means something's wrong!

Xiao Wu shook her head again, "I'm fine, no need."

Tang San was puzzled. "You don't look well. How can you be alright? Xiao Wu, are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm really fine, brother." For the first time, Xiao Wu found Tang San a bit annoying.

If you keep pressing her for details, she might get angry.

After all, Xiao Wu has never been a good-tempered person.

Tang San didn't know what he had said wrong, but he still had some sense of propriety, so he said, "Alright."

He nodded, but didn't ask any more questions.

Asking too many questions will only damage the relationship.

Oscar watched them talk to each other and suddenly felt like an outsider.

Looking at the interlacing neon lights, he couldn't help but miss Ning Rongrong.

I wonder what Rongrong is doing now, and whether she's asleep or not.

The elevator stopped on the thirteenth floor, and Ning Shu walked straight to room 01 in section B.

Although she didn't know why she would run into those guys here, she had a feeling that something was going to happen soon.

"Ding-dong."

The doorbell rang.

"It's me, Ning Shu."

The room door was opened.

"Ah Shu, you've finally arrived."

It's Hu Liena.

She smiled at Ning Shu, took Ning Shu's hand, and said, "Come in, come in quickly."

Hu Liena was staying in a suite, which was fully equipped and had a large room. She pulled Ning Shu to sit on the sofa and got up to pour a glass of water for Ning Shu.

Ning Shu looked around, seemingly searching for someone.

Hu Liena saw through her thoughts and was taken aback. "A-Shu, didn't you see your brother and Yan when you came up?"
