Chapter 310: Hu Liena's Misgivings

"What are you looking at?"

Hu Liena's slightly hoarse, magnetic voice suddenly sounded from beside him.

Qin Jian continued to look into the distance, at those black dots gradually disappearing at the end of the great path.

"I am looking at the past, the present, and the future."

Qin Jian smiled and raised his head, the sense of parting in his eyes completely dissipating.

"Are you reluctant to part with your teacher or your friends?"

Hu Liena tilted her head to look at him, her eyes filled with deep curiosity: "Or are you worried about your girlfriend... s? Worried that they will forget you in a few years?"

But Qin Jian seemed as if he were not in the same space-time as her; the words he spoke seemed like an answer, yet also like he was talking to himself.

"The past leaves only regrets, not remorse; the present cherishes the moment, living up to the time; the future pursues beauty, seizing opportunities..."

He turned around to face Hu Liena, his smile very warm, giving people a sense of clarity.

"I will not worry about things that haven't happened, nor will I be anxious because of things that haven't happened. I am just settling my mood, summarizing the past, setting goals, and looking forward to the future..."

"Looking forward to the future?"

Hu Liena couldn't help but sneer: "Don't you realize that you have already become the center of a whirlpool? Whether you even have a future is up for debate."

"If I remember correctly, what the Pope said was that my status is second only to an Elder, and you should be below me, right?"

Qin Jian tilted his head: "Shouldn't you show me some respect?"

Hu Liena was choked up, and only after holding it in for a long while did she say: "It's just relying on the teacher's favor; what qualifications do you have to truly be above me?"

Qin Jian smiled and said: "At the very least, on the sparring stage, you lost to me."

"Heh, using such despicable means, and you're still so righteous?"

Hu Liena squinted at him: "Are you doing this on purpose to take advantage of me?"

Qin Jian said speechlessly: "Do you know that if I hadn't slapped Xie Yue away in time, the one taking advantage of you wouldn't be me, but your own brother, alright?"

"Besides, I wasn't the one taking advantage; I didn't move at all. You were the one moving, okay?"

"If anyone should be talking about being taken advantage of, it should be me."

Hu Liena was so angry at Qin Jian's shameless words that her nose was almost crooked.

"Hey, little fox, you should have just recovered from your injuries, right? In such a rush to come find me?"

Qin Jian reached out his hand very casually, wanting to pinch her chin.

"Slap."

Hu Liena slapped his hand away irritably: "Don't be touchy-feely!"

"It's not like I haven't touched you before, why so reserved now?"

Qin Jian laughed dumbly: "It was clearly you who flirted with me first in the beginning..."

Hu Liena rolled her eyes charmingly: "I wouldn't dare fight the teacher for a man."

"Fight for a man?"

Qin Jian's expression was strange: "Where did you get that from?"

Hu Liena glanced at him and said: "Someone is so devastatingly handsome that even the teacher couldn't help but publicly recruit him as a son-in-law! Who in Wuhun City doesn't know about this now?"

Qin Jian said speechlessly: "I don't believe you can't see it; the Pope is just creating a special relationship to protect me. No matter where you go, there are factions. I believe the Spirit Hall cannot be an iron-clad camp; there must be people with dissenting opinions..."

"Even if it is your teacher, it is likely impossible for her to make the entire Spirit Hall have only her own voice..."

Qin Jian spread his hands: "So only a special relationship can dispel others' covetousness and also dispel my concerns. Can't you see these things?"

"I didn't expect you to see it so clearly..."

Hu Liena peeked with her fox eyes and looked at him: "But you have to know, for people who aren't concerned with the benefits, they won't care about the deep meaning behind this. They only need to know the explosive surface news."

She smiled meaningfully: "The Pope takes a fancy to a Million-Year Soul Beast, publicly confesses and proposes, only to be rejected. Is there any news more worth gossiping about than this?"

Qin Jian: "..."

"So it turns out that no matter where people are, they all like to eat melons and watch the commotion..." he said gloomily.

"The teacher's reputation, which she has kept perfectly for so many years, has now been completely ruined by you."

Hu Liena curled her red lips and said: "At this time, I wouldn't dare have any entanglement with you. Otherwise, the news of a teacher and student fighting over a man could become the hot topic for the residents of Wuhun City to discuss after tea and dinner."

Qin Jian: "..."

This woman is also hard to deal with... so many misgivings.

His Qin Jian's heartbreak target in the level 60 range is her, not Bibi Dong. If she doesn't interact with him at all, then how is he supposed to play the rest?

Qin Jian really wanted to scratch his head.

His current soul power level is 61, which means Hu Liena only has a little bit of affection for him, which is simply incomparable to Shui Bing'er or Xiao Wu back then.

This is a very confident woman who has always only wanted to conquer men, not be conquered, exactly the same as her teacher.

"Hey hey hey, do you women especially like to shift the blame? What do you mean your teacher's reputation was ruined by me? I'm very innocent, okay?" Qin Jian protested.

"Hehe..."

Hu Liena laughed insincerely, then turned and walked forward: "Follow me, the teacher is waiting for you."

"Waiting for me? It wouldn't be that she has an oil pan ready, would it?"

Qin Jian turned and followed.

"It's very possible. You look like you have tender skin and are very delicious, not to mention the temptation of a Million-Year Soul Ring..."

Hu Liena quietly extended half of her fragrant tongue and rolled it over her red lips: "If I could eat you, it should be very satisfying..."

"I don't know why, but I feel like what you're saying is a bit dirty..." Qin Jian said with a strange expression.

Hu Liena's pair of charming fox eyes blinked and blinked, bright eyes and white teeth, beautiful and moving.

"Qin Jian, if there is a chance to kill you, I will do it without hesitation."

Such a gentle-sounding voice, yet it spoke such cold words.

"Then I will definitely blow you up before I die."

Qin Jian did not care at all.

"Actually, I should hate you..."

Hu Liena glared at him fiercely: "You caused us to lose the match, lose the soul bone that was promised to us, made Teacher very disappointed in me, and there are even unknown, terrifying punishments waiting for me. More than half of my hard work over so many years was ruined by your hands."

Actually, even without me, you would still have lost, classmate...

Qin Jian curled his lips and said: "So you wanted to make a move on me?"

Hu Liena, however, shook her head unexpectedly and laughed: "I don't know why, but I just can't bring myself to hate you; on the contrary, I have quite a lot of affection for you..."

Quite a lot of affection? How can that only be level 61?

A vixen's words... are absolutely not to be trusted!

Hu Liena continued: "If it weren't for the factor of Teacher being involved, I would really like to have a proper contest with you."

"A contest of what?" Qin Jian asked.

Hu Liena quietly leaned a few inches closer to him, and immediately, waves of faint fragrance assailed his nostrils, stirring his heartstrings.

"Of course, a contest of..."

"Bed skills?" Qin Jian added without warning.

Hu Liena's charming face instantly flushed bright red.

The words on the tip of her tongue couldn't be spoken, and were instead blocked back, magnified a thousand times over.

"I just wanted to say a contest of flirting ability—"

The next moment, a fox's cry startled everyone in all directions.

It was truly that Qin Jian did not play by the rules, putting the little fox under great pressure.

"Tch, what's there to contest about flirting ability? You are a dignified vixen, after all; shouldn't you bring out something more exciting?" Qin Jian said indifferently.

A large "#" appeared on Hu Liena's forehead.

She took a few deep breaths, and her chest immediately heaved.

"I cannot let my emotions be stirred!"

"Between men and women, it is ultimately a game of emotions; the more one can clearly detach their own heart, the more they hold the upper hand."

"And once emotions fluctuate along with the other person's words, it is easy to fall into a disadvantageous position and be captured... This guy is an expert..."

The various self-adjustments in Hu Liena's heart naturally could not be heard by Qin Jian; Qin Jian only saw her take a few deep breaths, and then she became completely calm.

The next moment, her eyes were like silk, charming and moving like a Demon Charm.

"Qin Jian, it's not that we can't contest bed skills, but you have to make one willing, you know..."

She pouted, fully displaying the look of a little woman: "But you treat me so badly, taking advantage even when just saying a few words; I don't like men like that..."
