Chapter 174

What!?

You actually know Qin Qin Qin Mengwu too?

Even Cui Cui Hongzhi, who stood beside Su Yu, dropped his jaw in shock.

He felt as though he had never truly known Su Yu; could Su Yu actually have a connection with Qin Qin Qin Mengwu!?

Seeing everyone's gaze fixed upon him, Su Yu felt a headache coming on.

"How did you end up here?" Su Yu asked, looking at Qin Qin Qin Mengwu, who seemed to be smiling mischievously.

"I'm a special guest; why wouldn't I be able to come?" Qin Qin Qin Mengwu said with a smile. "Besides, if you hadn't participated in this competition, I wouldn't have chosen to come either."

Su Yu said, looking at Qin Qin Qin Mengwu, who seemed to be smirking.

Once again, everyone gasped in unison.

They all exchanged suspicious glances with one another.

What had they just heard?

Qin Qin Qin Mengwu chose to perform here only because Su Yu was participating in this competition!?

Did that not mean her relationship with Su Yu was highly unusual!?

Coupled with Su Yu's already handsome appearance, everyone suddenly harbored a bold speculation in their hearts.

Could it be that Qin Qin Qin Mengwu and Su Yu were...?

Upon thinking of this possibility, many could no longer sit still.

Could Qin Qin Qin Mengwu, always famous as an innocent jade maiden, have fallen for a boy younger than herself??

In an instant, the hearts of many shattered with a crisp crack.

Almost everyone who looked at Su Yu now held a hint of hostility in their eyes.

Qin Qin Qin Mengwu could be said to be the dream goddess of nearly everyone in the Summer Nation.

Was she about to be won over by Su Yu?

Seeing this, Su Yu naturally realized that many had misunderstood the situation.

He felt somewhat headache-inducing but did not bother to explain further.

Su Yu estimated that even if he did explain, these people might not listen.

Some people only wish for reality to match their expectations and do not care about what the truth actually is.

Moreover, Su Yu suspected that Qin Qin Qin Mengwu was not wrong in what she said.

After all, based on Su Yu's understanding of Qin Qin Qin Mengwu, she never went around performing when she had nothing else to do.

Her coming here this time was likely just to cheer him on.

Therefore, Su Yu felt somewhat moved in his heart.

"I appreciate your kind intentions, but if there's nothing else, you should leave quickly."

Su Yu said with a slight headache.

Upon hearing his words, the surrounding boys all glared angrily at Su Yu.

What kind of straight-man remark was that!?

Qin Qin Qin Mengwu showed you such concern, and you just told her to leave!?

If Qin Qin Qin Mengwu had said she came for them, I'm afraid these boys would have fainted from happiness!

Yet you, Su Yu, treat all of this as nothing!?

"Hehe, then I'll be leaving. Good luck!"

Qin Qin Qin Mengwu winked at Su Yu.

Then she smiled and departed.

She also knew that her appearance here had brought Su Yu considerable hostility.

However, she still firmly believed in Su Yu's strength.

Thus, after speaking, Qin Qin Qin Mengwu left immediately.

Everyone watched as Qin Qin Qin Mengwu walked out.

Cui Cui Hongzhi immediately walked over to Su Yu's side.

"Good heavens, Junior Su Yu, you really are hiding your talents deep! You actually know Qin Qin Qin Mengwu, and your relationship is so good!?"

Cui Cui Hongzhi said enviously.

"We only met because of an elder," Su Yu casually explained.

"Sigh, why don't I have such good luck!?" Cui Cui Hongzhi sighed.

"However, now you've become the public enemy of many students. As far as I know, ninety percent of the people here are fans of Qin Qin Qin Mengwu."

"Chatting and laughing with their goddess, you're likely to be targeted."

Cui Cui Hongzhi said with some schadenfreude.

There was no help for it; if he didn't feel he couldn't defeat Su Yu, even he would want to teach Su Yu a harsh lesson!

And indeed, the situation was exactly as Cui Cui Hongzhi had said.

Su Yu casually offered an explanation.

"Alas, why don't I have such good luck!?" Cui Cui Hongzhi sighed.

"However, you've now become the common enemy of many students. As far as I know, 90% of the people here are fans of Qin Qin Qin Mengwu."

"Chatting and laughing with their goddess, you're likely to be targeted."

Cui Cui Hongzhi said with some schadenfreude.

There was no helping it; if he didn't feel he was no match for Su Yu, even he would have wanted to teach Su Yu a severe lesson!

And indeed, things were exactly as Cui Cui Hongzhi had said.

Su Yu felt that many of the boys present were filled with hostility toward him.

Even many of the girls looked at him with eyes full of malice.

It seemed Qin Qin Qin Mengwu's charm was indeed immense, captivating both men and women alike!

Next, the broadcast spoke again.

"Let us welcome the special guest for this competition! The Ace of Nanhai Province, Ye Ye Lingzhi!"

Hearing the broadcast, exclamations erupted once more within the resting room!

"An Ace has arrived this early for this year's competition? Don't they usually only show up by the finals?"

"That's right, and this Ace is Ye Ye Lingzhi, the Fire-type Ace of Nanhai Province! She is the youngest Ace in the Xia Kingdom today!"

"This is quite the spectacle! With both Ye Ye Lingzhi and Qin Qin Qin Mengwu, this year's University Spirit League truly has prestige!"

"Damn, look, Ye Ye Lingzhi is so beautiful too! She's absolutely a great beauty!"

At these words, everyone turned their gaze toward the screen.

On the high platform stood a woman with cascading long hair, dressed in simple attire; though she wore no makeup, her features were as exquisite as a painting.

Her features were delicate, yet her expression was utterly cold, radiating an aura that warned strangers to keep their distance.

And she was none other than the youngest Ace of the Xia Kingdom, Ye Ye Lingzhi!

She was renowned across the nation for her powerful Fire-type spirits!

Even on a global scale, Ye Ye Lingzhi's age and strength stood in a league of their own!

It could be said that in terms of appearance alone, Ye Ye Lingzhi and Qin Qin Qin Mengwu were actually comparable.

However, Qin Qin Qin Mengwu's unique temperament was far superior to Ye Ye Lingzhi's.

"Ye Ye Lingzhi looks like an ice mountain, yet she commands Fire-type spirits; it really contradicts her appearance."

"Exactly, judging only by her looks and demeanor, I would have thought her spirits were Ice-type."

"Perhaps this reflects Ye Ye Lingzhi's personality: cold on the outside, hot on the inside! Whoever wins her heart will likely enjoy her fiery passion."

"Catch her, and you can skip fifty years of hard work!"

The group of boys discussed this among themselves.

At that moment, a clear and cold voice rang out.

"I hope you do not gossip about others behind their backs! Ace Ye Ye Lingzhi is my idol!"

Hearing this female voice, many people turned their heads in annoyance.

But upon realizing the identity of this girl, they immediately panicked and looked away.

For the one who had spoken was none other than Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu, the Dragon Tamer Envoy of Capital University!

The look in Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu's eyes as she gazed at Ye Ye Lingzhi on the screen was full of longing.

It seemed her claim that Ye Ye Lingzhi was her idol was no empty words.
