Chapter 424: Shui Bing'er and Hu Liena

"Qin Jian, we should go."

Seeing Hu Liena pull open the carriage door and wait for him to get in with an eager expression, Qin Jian found it very difficult.

No matter what, with Shui Bing'er, whom he hadn't seen in five years, right in front of him, it was impossible for him to leave right now.

"Qin Jian, where are you going?" Shui Bing'er suddenly stepped forward and asked.

"The next stop is Kamikaze Academy," Qin Jian said.

"Then..."

Shui Bing'er suddenly blinked her eyes: "Can I come with you?"

She naturally knew Qin Jian's predicament, so she thoughtfully gave him a win-win strategy.

Hu Liena also found it very difficult.

It was one thing to be unable to outmaneuver the teacher, but why couldn't she even outmaneuver an ex-girlfriend...

Why were you all so skilled at using the tactic of retreating to advance, making it seem like she, Hu Liena, wasn't thoughtful enough?

The little fox clenched her fists tightly, but a gentle and concerned smile appeared on her face: "Qin Jian, if you can't bear to leave, then stay at Tianshui Academy for a few more days; I'll keep you company."

In an instant, she grasped the core of the problem: it wasn't about forcibly taking Qin Jian away.

If she did that, even if Qin Jian left physically, his heart would still remain here.

The core of the problem was actually not giving them a chance to be alone!

Five years of time, a long-awaited reunion, dry wood and raging fire—who knew what would happen? If old flames were rekindled, wouldn't that dye her little fox fur green?

Fine then, I'll allow you to pour your hearts out to each other, but it must be under my watchful eyes.

Qin Jian, oh Qin Jian, I want to see if you can be thick-skinned enough to be intimate with an ex-girlfriend right in front of your current one...

Thinking of this, the little fox could barely stop her fox tail from wagging; she discovered for the first time that she was so clever.

It really was beneficial to have a Pope for a teacher; although there was always a green light hovering over her head, no one could compare to these methods—just learning one was an ultimate move.

Shui Bing'er was so Ice and Snow intelligent that she quickly understood Hu Liena's plan.

But she didn't change her expression, and there was no unhappiness on her face; instead, she smiled lightly: "Then many thanks to the Saintess for your magnanimity."

As she spoke, she naturally took Qin Jian's arm and smiled gently: "Qin Jian, accompany me for a walk; we haven't seen the campus after five years together yet..."

Hu Liena glanced at her bosom, then looked down at herself, and suddenly her confidence greatly increased.

She jumped off the carriage in one stride and appeared at Qin Jian's side, looking as if she were going to stroll around the campus with him.

Qin Jian was helpless and had to turn back and say: "Guard Army, everyone return to the inn to rest."

"Yes!"

The Guard Knight Order followed orders strictly and left the place in a neat and uniform manner.

Although they were still somewhat unsatisfied and wished they could continue watching the Saintess fight and the Chief Judge be overwhelmed, that feeling really made their boring lives become interesting...

But if they watched this excitement and were given a hard time later, what then? Time to slip away...

"Dean, instructors, then we shall trouble you for a few more days," Qin Jian said to the Tianshui higher-ups.

The Dean smiled very kindly: "You were always the pride of our Tianshui Academy and a symbol of our excellent students; we are more than happy to have you back to stay for a few days."

"Junior sisters, go and rest too. Sorry for keeping everyone for so long, thank you for your hard work," Qin Jian said loudly to the countless "lightbulbs" around him.

"It's no trouble, no trouble!"

"Senior is so warm! I'm so envious of Senior Sister Bing'er!"

"Senior, can we follow you?"

"..."

In an instant, an ocean of infatuated fans drowned Qin Jian.

His head was covered in black lines of frustration.

Do you all even realize you are lightbulbs...

Forget it, the consequences caused by his own Charm, no matter how difficult, he had to bear them himself...

"What exactly did you do to these junior sisters? Why are they so fanatical now?"

Walking into the academy while holding Qin Jian's arm, Shui Bing'er looked back from time to time, curiously watching the group of junior sisters trailing behind like tails.

"This..."

Qin Jian felt ashamed: "I just wanted to gain their approval, so I slightly guided and improved their favorability toward me, but I didn't expect such a big aftereffect after it ended..."

"That's because they already admired you to begin with, obsessing over your portrait every day; now that you've appeared before them and even guided them a little..."

Shui Bing'er smiled lightly: "If you asked them to offer themselves to you now, many would be willing."

Qin Jian: "..."

"Um, Shui Bing'er, right?"

Hu Liena on the other side suddenly looked at Shui Bing'er, her tone chilly: "Can you let go of my man's hand first?"

"Hm?"

Shui Bing'er looked over, very confused: "Why should I let go? Is there something wrong with me doing this?"

"Is there something wrong? Everything is wrong."

Hu Liena crossed her arms: "I am his current partner, you are not; how can you hold his arm so righteously?"

Shui Bing'er's beautiful eyes paused, then slowly turned into crescent shapes: "But I am his sister; is there any problem with a sister holding her brother's arm?"

"Sis... sister?"

Hu Liena was stunned: "Qin Jian, she said she is your sister?"

Qin Jian was truly grateful for this "sister" title at this moment, as it allowed them to be intimate in a legitimate way.

So, role-playing in a relationship is such a crucial relationship booster...

"Yes, yes... during the tournament, I recognized Bing'er as my sister," Qin Jian said to her with a straight face.

Hu Liena was left in a state of disarray in the wind.

At this moment, Shui Bing'er circled to the other side of Qin Jian and gently placed her jade hand on Hu Liena's shoulder, tilting her head slightly as she said, "Since you are my younger brother's current woman, shouldn't you also call me 'older sister'?"

This was a woman who carried the aura of an older sister with a gifted Domain; within her aura, no matter who it was, they would be demoted to a younger sister.

"Old... older sister?"

Hu Liena's brain had completely crashed.

"Mm, good girl."

Shui Bing'er took the opportunity to stroke Hu Liena's cheek, then let out a soft laugh and continued to link her arm with Qin Jian's as they walked forward.

Just kidding, even someone with a fiery temper like Huo Wu was now willing to listen to her...

A mere vixen, a piece of cake.

At this moment, Shui Bing'er thought she had won a complete victory, but she did not know that it was not yet night...

"Qin Jian, look over there, that is our Tianshui Academy's Mimicry Cultivation Ground, do you still remember it?"

Shui Bing'er suddenly pointed in a direction with pleasant surprise.

Qin Jian looked over in that direction and couldn't help but laugh softly: "Of course I wouldn't forget, that was when I was training your team dance in there."

"Yes, if it weren't for your pressure, I might not have been able to stand before everyone so generously and confidently even now."

Shui Bing'er also recalled the days when she led the dance, her eyes filled with memories.

"You were born this way; you never had a timid personality, you were just suppressed since childhood," Qin Jian said gently while stroking her cheek.

Is this still a sister-brother relationship?

Hu Liena widened her eyes...
