"Brother?" Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback before noticing Yao'er's form of address.
"Yes, he is my older brother, named Dongfang Jing."
Zhu Zhuqing's pupils contracted sharply, and she pointed a trembling finger at the girl beside her: "Then why did you say you liked her?"
"No, no, no!" Dongfang Yao blushed instantly and hurriedly explained, "My brother was adopted!!"
"Oh, I see."
Even so, she still felt something was off and couldn't help but complain, "He's your brother, Yao'er. You really are a little dancer. From your description, your brother seems to only care about and love you, and he's quite upright and earnest. But what if he knew what you were thinking?"
"Hmm~ Zhuqing, stop talking. When that day really comes, I'll have to think of all sorts of ways to change it." Dongfang Yao grumbled. This was also a major point that made her hesitate and distressed: how to change her brother's attitude towards her.
What she wants now is no longer simple affection, but the intimate love between a man and a woman.
Zhu Zhuqing also felt that it was too difficult for Yao'er to achieve her goal.
But she had no experience in dating, so all she could do was offer her blessings.
The next morning, everyone who had made preparations went to the playground to assemble.
Seeing Zhao Wuji's bruises and panda eyes was truly hilarious. Ma Hongjun and Oscar even covered their mouths, afraid that they would burst out laughing.
Zhao Wuji glared at them, which made them feel as if they had been granted a pardon, and they immediately stood up straight.
He snorted and said, "Alright, everyone, let's get going."
Dai Mubai, who habitually considered himself the leader, said to the others, "Let's maintain our formation. Tang San will be at the front, Oscar and Ning Rongrong will follow behind Tang San, Fatty and Xiao Wu will be on the left and right sides, and Zhu Zhuqing and I will be at the rear. As for Dongfang Yao..."
In the end, Dai Mubai was stunned. He was so focused on being with Zhu Zhuqing that he didn't know where to place her.
Dongfang Yao interrupted, saying, "Dai Mubai will lead the way, followed by Tang San, Oscar and Ning Rongrong, with Xiao Wu and Fatty on their left and right, then Zhu Qing, and finally me."
No one else had any objections to her arrangement.
The role of the rearguard is more important than that of the forwards at the forefront, so it is naturally assigned to the strongest player.
Seeing that everyone nodded, Dai Mubai did not refute, but he still felt somewhat displeased.
It seems that his deterrent power has been decreasing ever since Dongfang Yao arrived.
With the formation arranged in advance, the group embarked on their journey to the Star Dou Great Forest.
There are no horse-drawn carriages here; you can only move forward on foot.
However, Dongfang Yao had electric scooters, so while the boys ran on the ground and ate Oscar's sausages to restore their strength, the girls took turns riding the electric scooters in pairs.
Xiao Wu had long been curious about this soul tool, but she was too embarrassed to ask because she wasn't very familiar with Dongfang Yao.
Now she is finally experiencing the convenience of a mobility scooter.
Meanwhile, the boys running behind them were looking on with envy at the four girls riding their electric scooters ahead, looking relaxed and happy.
"I'm exhausted, Boss Dai. Why don't you go talk to those girls and borrow their soul tools so we can ride them?" Ma Hongjun's big belly bounced up and down, and he was panting heavily.
Dai Mubai's eyes were gloomy: "Why don't you go? That soul tool belongs to Dongfang Yao. Didn't you see how much she cherishes it? Would she let us grown men ride it? Hey Tang San, why don't you ask Xiao Wu to borrow it?"
Tang San shook his head with a wry smile: "We're not familiar with Dongfang Yao, and we've even had some minor conflicts before. It's already very generous of her to let Xiao Wu ride. Let's just forget about it. It's good for us to run around; consider it training."
Even so, Tang San was also very curious about the structure of that little electric scooter.
He had never seen a similar vehicle before, whether in his previous life in Sichuan or now.
If possible, Tang San really wanted to take it apart and study it carefully to see if the technology inside could be applied to his own hidden weapons.
As night fell, Shrek and his group were already very close to the Star Dou Great Forest.
They happened to arrive at a small town, so they stopped there to rest and replenish their supplies.
Entering a very ordinary restaurant, Zhao Wuji booked a single room for himself and went straight upstairs.
There were four men in total, and Dai Mubai booked a four-person room. With the money saved, he could go out and have some fun.
Dongfang Yao was not short of money. Her soul tool contained a large amount of gold soul coins, all of which were pocket money and rewards she had received from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School over the years.
She originally planned to book four single rooms, but after thinking about it, she realized that this was a hotel outside, and anyone could do anything about what might happen, so she booked a four-person room as well.
After a long day of travel, everyone's stomachs were growling with hunger, so they found a table in a corner and sat down.
Although the eight people sat around a table, they couldn't find common ground in their conversation.
Boys say boys' things, and girls say girls' things.
Xiao Wu was sandwiched in the middle, chatting with Ning Rongrong and the others for a while, and whispering to Tang San for a while.
Just then, a group of eight people walked in from outside.
There were six men and one woman, all appearing to be around twenty years old. The leader was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties.
Their attire clearly indicates that they are Soul Masters, and they are quite flamboyant.
Ma Hongjun stared wide-eyed at the attractive young woman in the crowd.
He felt the pent-up anger within him about to burst forth, and his small eyes stared intently at the person.
"That girl from Canghui Academy is quite pretty!" Ma Hongjun licked his lips, rubbing his hands together slyly, and joined Dai Mubai in making their comments.
Dai Mubai chuckled and said with a laugh, "You're so fat, the premise is that people have to be interested in you first."
Soul Masters generally have good hearing, and the two of them were speaking quite loudly, which immediately drew the dissatisfaction of the Canghui Academy group.
Oscar glanced in the direction the girls were looking, and whispered to Tang San beside him in a voice just loud enough for them to hear, "This is going to be good. Dean Flander once said that those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre. Boss Dai and Fatty are probably going to start a fight with the other side."
Upon hearing this, Tang San and Xiao Wu became interested and looked over.
Soon, a young man from Canghui Academy came to cause trouble, making some trivial moves at Dai Mubai that would only embarrass him, but all of them were defused.
Dai Mubai could not tolerate such provocation.
These past few days, not only has Dongfang Yao been giving him a hard time, but even his fiancée Zhu Zhuqing has been giving him the cold shoulder.
Therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to vent his anger on the other party.
Dai Mubai's palm, imbued with soul power, slammed hard into the young man's chest.
The young man coughed up a mouthful of blood, crashed into two tables, and flew towards the group from Canghui Academy.
"I'm really sorry, I messed up." Dai Mubai's face was full of disdain and contempt, so arrogant that he was extremely irritating.
