Chapter 70
: Can't get past Tang 3?
"Is it snowing?"
Hearing the sound, Ning Shu walked over to Hu Liena's side. She followed Hu Liena's gaze and looked outside. Snowflakes fell in scattered drops, covering the buildings with a thin layer of snow, which reflected a dazzling luster under the moonlight.
"I almost thought it was Grandpa Guangling who came." Ning Shu smiled and raised her hand to touch the glass.
Upon hearing this, Hu Liena couldn't help but tease, "You've only been out for a short time, and you're already thinking about that person? Why don't we go back now?"
"What do you mean by 'want' or 'don't want'?" Ning Shu glanced at Hu Liena, not annoyed at all. "I just feel that if Grandpa Guangling comes, we won't have to go and find those two guys."
"Do you know where they went?" Huliena asked.
"I don't know, but I roughly know that they had a conflict with some people."
When Ning Shu encountered Tang San and his group in the lobby, she felt a bit unlucky. If she hadn't wanted to avoid wasting time talking to them, she definitely would have given them a piece of her mind.
Hu Liena said that Xie Yue and Yan were waiting for her in the lobby, but she hadn't paid attention. However, based on her understanding of them, the fact that they hadn't returned for so long meant that they had most likely had a conflict with Tang San and the others.
After all, in Ning Shu's opinion, Tang San and his companions didn't have a good reputation.
"Some people? What people?" Hu Liena continued to ask.
Ning Shu said, "I ran into my former classmate when I came up. He's Tang San, the one I told you about."
Tang San?
Hu Liena frowned. Was this the man Ning Shu had been thinking about, the one she would fall in love with in the future?
"They're here too."
Hu Liena said.
Now she could understand why Ning Shu hadn't seen her brother and Yan.
Ning Shu's guess was correct. Given those two's personalities, it would be abnormal for them not to confront their future enemy.
Ning Shu said, "Ning Rongrong has returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and they will most likely come to Seven Treasure City. It's really good that they chose this hotel. In the vast sea of people, it's quite a coincidence that we can meet here."
"It's a tragic fate," Hu Liena remarked.
She once secretly went to see the person named Tang San.
She genuinely didn't know why she would fall for a man like that.
She's not as good-looking as her brother, nor as capable; she's just an ordinary person. What does she want from him?
Hu Liena still can't figure it out.
If it weren't for the fact that some of Ning Shu's words could indeed be verified, she would have doubted whether what Ning Shu said was just nonsense.
"It's a tragic fate, isn't it?" Ning Shu smiled and glanced at Hu Liena, her expression meaningful.
[That's a doomed relationship for you, you'd better cut it off as soon as possible, lest you lose everything. Don't let Tang San's current inconspicuousness fool you, once his martial soul evolves, he'll be quite a handsome man. That's when you met him and fell for him in the City of Slaughter.]
[Sigh, it's really a pity. Such a nice girl, and she had to fall for Tang San. And that Tang San guy, he actually had a physical reaction to you in the City of Slaughter, just thinking about it makes me sick!]
???
Physiological reaction?
Hu Liena's face stiffened.
Would she really fall for that kind of guy?
No way?
No way!
Even if the sky falls, she still wouldn't like that kind of person, right?
"Ah Shu, what do you think of my taste?" Hu Liena suddenly asked.
"Perspective?" Ning Shu was taken aback. "What aspect are you referring to?"
"As for people."
"As for people..."
Ning Shu thought for a moment, wanting to say it wasn't very good, but then felt it wasn't a good idea, since they were friends now, and Hu Liena hadn't shown any particular judgment in people...
She cleared her throat and said, "I don't know..."
"You know that," Hu Liena said, "Don't worry about my feelings, just say it."
Ning Shu looked at her, somewhat confused. "Then, can I ask you a question first?"
Hu Liena nodded. "Okay, go ahead and ask."
Ning Shu asked, "What do you think of Yan?"
"Yan?"
Hu Liena frowned. Why ask him how he was?
Although she was a little confused, she answered truthfully, "He's a nice person, just a bit annoying, and talks a lot."
"That's all?"
That's all.
"Is that all?"
That's all.
After confirming with Hu Liena repeatedly, Hu Liena still had nothing to add.
Ning Shucai said, "When you look at people, you tend to overlook a lot of details. Or perhaps you really enjoy being clingy with your little puppy?"
"A puppy? I quite like puppies; I even have one at home," Hu Liena said seriously.
"Well."
Ning Shu was speechless for a moment.
"The 'little puppy' I'm referring to doesn't literally mean a little puppy; it means something else entirely."
She explained, "The 'puppy dog' I'm referring to is a man who is obedient, compliant, and gentle with me."
"A man?" Hu Liena suddenly realized. "Oh! You mean, regarding Yan's feelings for me, what is my opinion of him?"
"..."
"No, that's not it."
Ning Shu was in a bit of a mess because of Hu Liena, but judging from Hu Liena's state, she knew very well that Yan liked her, but was she just pretending not to see it?
"You don't like Yan." Ning Shu didn't even need to ask a question.
Hu Liena nodded and readily admitted, "Yes, I don't like him."
Ning Shu: "Didn't you think about giving him a chance?"
"We've known each other for so long, and there's never been any romantic feeling between us. There's no need to give him a chance, right? I like strong people, but it's obvious that he isn't."
Hu Liena said, "If his strength were the same as my brother's, perhaps I would still consider him."
Ning Shu nodded. "However, I think you can still give him a chance. I feel he still has some potential. I heard His Holiness the Pope say that your aptitude is higher than Xie Yue and Yan. It's normal that you admire the strong and don't think much of Yan. But in terms of living together, people like Yan are actually quite good. And I think he really likes you."
It's better than falling for that Tang Sanqiang later.
It's Tang San again.
Hu Liena was confused. Was she at odds with Tang San or what? All Ning Shu could think about was that she liked Tang San. Was Tang San really that good?
"Alright, A-Shu, now is not the time to think about these things. I don't want to talk about this right now. Cultivating well is more important than anything else. I can't let my teacher down." Hu Liena changed the subject, not wanting to continue the conversation.
Ning Shu didn't really want to talk about this. She shrugged helplessly, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I wonder when they'll be back."
"It's hard to say, there's no word yet."
Hu Liena said, "Let's wait until dawn. If they haven't returned by then, we'll go look for them. They're such a worry."
"Hmm, I think it's a good idea."
"I'm sleepy, A-Shu, I'm going to sleep now."
"Take me with you, I'll sleep with you."
"Don't push me, and don't put your hands down, Ah Shu!"
"I didn't leave it lying around; I just like being next to you!"
"..."
