"Dante! Long time no see!"
Dugu Yan completely ignored the "Crown Prince" standing in front of Dante.
She rushed in front of Dante in a few steps, her emerald eyes full of smiles, even unhesitatingly patting Dante on the shoulder: "I didn't expect you to arrive in Heaven Dou City so soon!"
"I thought you'd have to wait another year before coming!"
Ning Rongrong also giggled, her eyes curving into crescents: "Dante is really amazing!"
As for the cold-natured Ye Lingling, although she didn't speak, she nodded slightly to Dante, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
Is this the Dante who writes the diary?
At first glance, he was indeed stunning. No wonder Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Dugu Yan were unwilling to share Dante's photo in the group... At this moment.
"Xue Qinghe," the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, was thus... completely ignored by the three girls!
A hint of awkwardness filled the air.
Qian Renxue stood to the side, looking at these three girls who turned a blind eye to her; the smile at the corner of her mouth stiffened for a moment.
"These three wretched girls... they really gave me a show of strength."
But she wasn't angry; she even appeared very magnanimous.
Because as early as half a month ago, after her identity was exposed in the diary, she had already reached a certain "truce agreement" with Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan through private chat.
The reason was simple.
[Once you expose my identity and let Dante know that you also have Diary copys.]
[With Dante's wisdom as a transmigrator, he will definitely guess the connection to the System.]
[At that time, the Diary copys might disappear due to exposure, and Dante might even stop writing the diary out of wariness.]
[Then all our rewards, all our foresight, will vanish into thin air!]
These words directly hit their weakness; no one wanted to lose this "cheat" that could change their fate.
Whether it was Dugu Yan or Ning Rongrong, they both wanted to obtain rewards from the System or from Dante that could change their destinies.
Dugu Yan wanted to remove the backlash of her own Martial Soul, while Ning Rongrong wanted to evolve her Martial Soul into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Does this mean their motives for approaching Dante were impure?
Of course.
However, in reality, many situations are like this; there is no one who is good to you for no reason.
Even biological parents are good to you because you are their child and they have expectations of you.
Those who are truly good to you for absolutely no reason are almost non-existent.
Just as Dante wanted to contact the girls, it was naturally for profit. Besides being able to obtain Binding rewards from them, it was also because they were beautiful.
Although this reason is very vulgar.
But as long as one is a man, one cannot be free from such vulgarity, unless one is a eunuch.
Oh wait, even a eunuch cannot be free from it (palace partnerships).
Actually, he could have waited until his strength was high to find these women, but the state of mind would be different then.
He preferred this slow cultivation of feelings over forcibly conquering them after becoming powerful.
By then, who knows if Ning Rongrong and the others would already have someone they liked? After all, this is the Continent of Love.
He still understood the principle that "a pavilion near the water gets the moon first."
And even if Dante didn't have a System, with his talent, it would naturally be possible to approach these people.
But to be friends with these geniuses, there is a prerequisite: your talent must be good.
If your talent isn't good, even if others are willing, you'll soon fail to keep up and become a mere foil... Therefore, although Dugu Yan and the others knew Qian Renxue was a spy for Spirit Hall, they had to remain silent in front of Dante.
However, not exposing her is one thing.
That doesn't mean they have to give Qian Renxue a good Face!
"Hmph, bad woman from Spirit Hall."
Ning Rongrong snorted in her heart, took Xiao Wu's hand, and directly turned her back on Qian Renxue.
"Dante, let's go, let's go!"
"I'll take you to find the Education Committee; the enrollment process is very fast."
"As for the Crown Prince..."
Ning Rongrong turned her head and gave a mockingly respectful salute, her tone somewhat sarcastic: "You are a pillar of the nation, occupied with a myriad of state affairs. How could we bother you with such a small matter?"
"Right, Your Highness?"
Dugu Yan also crossed her arms to the side, her emerald eyes full of playfulness, clearly standing on the same front as Ning Rongrong.
Only the cold-natured Ye Lingling didn't speak, but her action of silently standing by Dante's side already showed her stance.
Qian Renxue: "..."
Qian Renxue was so angry she wanted to summon her Seraphim Spirit right then and there and give each of these girls a slap.
But for the sake of the big picture, and to build presence in front of Dante.
She endured it!
"Hehe, Sister Rongrong must be joking."
Qian Renxue's smile didn't reach her eyes as she spoke in a warm voice, "Qinghe still has this bit of time. Besides, if Teacher knew that I met Brother Lin Yuan, who holds the Seven Kills Token, yet failed to host him properly, Teacher would probably blame me for not knowing etiquette."
"So, it's safer if I lead the way personally."
This move of "using the teacher to pressure the student" really worked.
Ning Rongrong snorted. Although she was unhappy, she didn't say anything more.
After all, that was her father; she had to give him Face.
"Fine, fine, you lead the way."
Ning Rongrong curled her lips, pulling Xiao Wu and Dante to deliberately fall half a step behind, not walking alongside Qian Renxue... A while later.
Education Committee Building.
When Qian Renxue appeared at the door with this large group of people, the entire Academic Affairs Office was shaken.
Hearing the news, the three chief Education Committee members literally sprang from their office chairs to greet them personally.
My god!
What kind of god-tier lineup is this?
The Empire's Crown Prince leading the way personally!
The Little Witch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Rongrong!
Dugu Yan, the most beloved granddaughter of the Poison Douluo!
And Ye Lingling, the usually extremely low-profile successor of the Nine Heart Begonia!
Any one of these four, taken individually, could make the academy tremble.
Today they gathered together for two children who looked only seven or eight years old?
What on earth is the background of these two?
With deep shock and curiosity, the three committee members invited everyone into the highest-grade reception room.
After some pleasantries and sitting down.
Qian Renxue smiled: "Chief Meng, these two are the Genius youths who have come to enroll this time."
Qian Renxue pointed at Dante and Xiao Wu, smiling: "They hold the token of His Excellency the Sword Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and possess extraordinary talent."
"I'll have to trouble the three of you to help them with the enrollment procedures."
"It would be best to arrange for them to be in Class 1 of the Heaven Dou Grade."
Hearing "Sword Douluo's Token," the eyes of the three committee members instantly became solemn... PS: Requesting tickets and follow-up reads~~
