"Of course, it’s not like I’ve been training for nothing. If Lao San can pass, there’s no reason I won’t." Why bring me into this? Is my performance really that bad? Du You honestly didn’t know. He interacted with people so little, always training on his own. Without interaction, how could blind practice possibly work? Hence his swordsmanship, while competent, was at most slightly above average in school. Those who underwent Law Formalization were typically the upper class. Follow current novels on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽 Although some passed due to sheer luck, these cases were far and few. You’re annoyed that you passed, and judging by the glow, you’re full of potential. Yet Lao Si didn’t clear, of course he’s frustrated. Fine, Lao Si is in a bad mood now, let’s not rub salt into his wounds. "We will always have a spot for you here, waiting for you to join us." "Exactly, when the time comes, we’ll rise as a dorm, and let’s see who dares to look down on us." Lao Er flexed his muscles. "Don’t worry, I’m not one to be defeated easily. Although this attempt was a failure, I’m sure I’ll make it the next round." Given Lao Si’s family financial status, even though putting up the money for Law Formalization is a pinch, it’s not like he can’t afford it. However, despite Du You not ridiculing Lao Si, someone did come to punish him. Out of nowhere, a crisp voice rang out: "Liu Hao, I’ve finally found you. Where have you been these days? I’ve been trying to get in touch with you but you didn’t pick up at all. Do you know how worried I was?" Everyone turned and saw a woman in a yellow dress with a pretty face and slender figure rushing towards them. Wait a minute, a dress? It’s the day for Law Formalization, why would she dress ? Everyone knew that clothes, unless imbued with special abilities, would be carried into the Derived World with you. And that a dress is absolutely unsuitable for battle. Even the most vanity conscious women wouldn’t come here dressed today. But the woman who was approaching, they all knew her. "Hu Xiaoyun, it’s you again." Lao Si looked crestfallen. Indeed, this was one of the women that Lao Si had pursued, Hu Xiaoyun. Unlike others, after winning her over, she stuck to Lao Si like glue, and he just couldn’t shake her off. Despite Lao Si’s best efforts, nothing worked. Recently, Lao Si had been absent because he was avoiding Hu Xiaoyun, even avoiding the dorm. Today he had no choice but to show up because it’s the day for Law Formalization. "Of course it’s me. I’ve been looking for you for so long." Hu Xiaoyun gave him a gentle look. "I already told you, I’m really not interested in you anymore. You have a better future ahead of you, go find someone who loves you." "But my heart is already yours. Without you, I lose my direction." Hu Xiaoyun’s tender look made Liu Hao feel even worse. Who did he offend to deserve being tangled with such a troublesome woman? Because of Hu Xiaoyun, how long had it been since he had been able to invite girls out? How much fun had he missed out on? Lao Si didn’t hate Hu Xiaoyun, she was just too bothersome. "Um, I’ve got something to do. I should go." Lao Si prepared to make a run for it. But Hu Xiaoyun suddenly came forward and grabbed Lao Si’s arm: "Wait, my father wants to meet you." All around them, people’s eyes widened. She wanted to introduce him to her parents already? Many were green with envy. Granted, Hu Xiaoyun was not the most popular in school, but she was definitely not bad, she was goddess-like. And she was ardently pursuing Lao Si, which was kind of enviable. More importantly, they all had heard about Hu Xiaoyun’s wealthy family background. With her on his side, he could save years of struggling. He’s got a diamond and doesn’t even want it, they wished they could club him to death. "Um, let’s not... I really have things to do." Liu Hao began to stutter. He hadn’t expected that even her parents knew about him. "My father must see you today. You can either leave with me willingly or I can take you by force." "Don’t be , aren’t coerced melons supposed to be bitter?" Only then did Lao Si notice that Hu Xiaoyun didn’t come alone, she brought bodyguards. And from the looks of them, they were not ordinary, they obviously had a military bearing. "Whether the melon is sweet or bitter, it’s my choice and I will stick to it. After all, forcing it makes me happy." A trace of intensity flashed through Hu Xiaoyun’s gentle eyes. "Um, today is the day for Law Formalization. Why don’t you go ahead with that first, and I’ll wait for you outside?" Liu Hao’s eyes darted around, clearly racking his brain for a solution. But Hu Xiaoyun was steadfast today. "No, you have to come with me right now. I’ll do the Law Formalization when I get home and can prepare properly; without preparation, attaining success is difficult. You haven’t done it yet either, right? Perfect, we can do it together." Hu Xiaoyun was absolutely not letting him off the hook Even if a woman in love is occasionally foolish, given the time that elapsed, how could Hu Xiaoyun possibly fail to understand Liu Hao’s temperament? If she didn’t sort him out today, he would definitely run off again. Plus, she had already put herself out there today in front of everyone, yet he still wanted to evade her. Therefore, no matter what, she had to get him out of here today. Liu Hao wanted to struggle some more, to argue. But Hu Xiaoyun was one step ahead. With a wave of her hand, Hu Xiaoyun turned around and headed off. The two bodyguards behind her immediately stepped forward, grabbing Liu Hao’s arms and leading him away. The school officials by the side saw all this, hung their heads low, and pretended not to see. Whether they should intervene in such blatantly aggressive behaviors towards fellow students largely depended on who was involved. "Shouldn’t we do something about it? We’re just going to stand here and watch Lao Si get dragged away?" Lao Er uttered in a muffled voice. "This is a good thing; why should we stop it?" Lao Da adjusted his glasses and responded earnestly. Du You nodded solemnly too: "Lao Si can’t escape this now, but it’s not bad either. This can possibly increase his chances of awakening. After all, she is no ordinary girl." If he still could not awaken with the help from such a powerful family, either his luck was terribly rotten, or Lao Si was ... never mind, why should they bother so much? It’s not like he’s in any danger, right?
