437: Chapter 437 Seeing Dawei Again

"If you had listened to me back then and had a few kids with Xiao Weiqing, you'd have everything you want right now."

"Do you want to die, Second Girl? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Huang Yitong, blushing with anger, grabbed Second Girl's large ear and yanked it upward with all her might.

"But it's true!"

"If Xiao Weiqing had any interest in me, I would have made a move myself."

Inside the courtyard.

Xiao Weiqing, who had just walked out the door, felt his face darken.

He slightly raised his hand, his five fingers curling into a phantom grip.

At the courtyard entrance.

Second Girl's body flew into the courtyard, completely out of her control.

"Eh? Eh?"

"Help me, Xiao Tong!"

The sudden change made Second Girl scream. She sensed someone was out to get her, and her natural Spirit Beast instincts warned her that she was in for some suffering.

"Second Girl!"

Huang Yitong was also startled and quickly followed after her.

Entering the courtyard.

They saw.

Second Girl's size had shrunk to less than a foot.

She was being held by the tail, dangled upside down in the air, and spun continuously in three-hundred-and-sixty-degree rotations.

"Brother, Brother Qing, my dear brother, stop spinning! If you keep spinning, I'm going to throw up my breakfast!" Second Girl begged for mercy repeatedly.

"Xiao Weiqing?"

Huang Yitong was shocked, but she immediately understood—Xiao Weiqing must have overheard what Second Girl just said.

"Xiao Tong, help! Quickly, save me!"

Second Girl pleaded piteously for help.

"Hmph~"

"You deserve it!"

Huang Yitong decided to ignore Second Girl. It was good for her to receive a lesson to improve her memory.

The current Xiao Weiqing was not the same as he was two years ago. If Second Girl truly provoked him one day, they would all be in trouble.

Seeing the group arrive, Xiao Weiqing stopped playing with Second Girl and tossed the now-dizzy creature back to Huang Yitong.

Looking at the miserable Second Girl, Huang Yitong didn't dare say anything.

If it were any other Powerhouse, even just an ordinary Eighth Realm, Second Girl would likely have been skinned alive by now.

However.

It wasn't that she didn't feel bad. Huang Yitong caught Second Girl, held her in her arms, and gently stroked her.

"You've all arrived. Take a seat."

"Hey, Xiao Weiqing, this Villa and this courtyard look no different from before. Did you specifically ask the academy to build it like this?"

After Fei Xiaobao entered, he felt a sense of familiarity. Looking closely, this Villa was practically a carbon copy of where Xiao Weiqing used to live.

"No."

Xiao Weiqing shook his head and smiled.

"No?"

"Don't tell me it's just a coincidence."

"Are you stupid? The academy obviously did it on purpose," Zhuang Yu said. "If you had Xiao Weiqing's strength, let alone a Villa, the academy would build you a castle if you wanted one."

"That's true."

Thinking of Xiao Weiqing's strength, Fei Xiaobao felt that nothing the academy did was surprising.

Next.

The group chatted for a while.

Fei Xiaobao did most of the talking, with Huang Yitong speaking occasionally, and even the half-conscious Second Girl chiming in.

As for Qin Tian, Xue Cheng, and the others, they barely spoke. Xiao Weiqing could sense they had something to say, but they kept hesitating.

Thinking about it, Xiao Weiqing could probably guess what it was.

It was nothing more than the spots for the Awakening Training Camp.

Half an hour later.

The group left.

Xiao Weiqing stood in the courtyard and sighed softly.

Aside from the always cheerful Fei Xiaobao, Qin Tian, Xue Cheng, and the others now seemed somewhat restrained when they were with him.

In just two short years, too much had changed.

Xiao Weiqing estimated that from now on, his classmates from the Class of 2122 in the Upper Academy would never interact with him the way they used to.

Ultimately, the gap in strength and status between him and them was too great.

Even a few months ago.

When Xiao Weiqing graduated early and became the Honorary Dean, everyone hadn't been like this.

He stopped thinking about it.

Xiao Weiqing contacted Zhang Dawei and arranged to meet him.

...

Half an hour later.

The three of them met at a coffee shop.

"You... you're going to be a father?"

Xiao Weiqing said in astonishment.

Compared to Zhang Dawei seeing Xiao Weiqing, Xiao Weiqing was even more shocked to see Zhang Dawei.

The reason was Lu Mengxi's slightly protruding belly.

"Yes, Brother Qing, hehe..." Zhang Dawei looked at Lu Mengxi and grinned like a fool.

"Impressive."

"Hehe..."

Zhang Dawei didn't reply, just continued to grin foolishly.

"Look at you."

Lu Mengxi felt a bit embarrassed by Zhang Dawei's gaze and gave him a playful glare.

The three of them chatted for a long time.

It was mainly Zhang Dawei and Xiao Weiqing speaking.

Two hours later.

"Brother Qing, will you be staying at the academy in the future?"

"Probably not," Xiao Weiqing replied.

Whether it was the Yao Race or the matters concerning the Temple, it was decided that Xiao Weiqing could not stay at the academy for long.

"And you?"

"Da Wei, what are your plans for the future?"

In another month, the Trainees of the Class of 2122 would face graduation. Most graduates of Luo Jiang Academy would join the Demon Suppressing Army, but Zhang Dawei's current situation was clearly unsuitable for that.

The Luo Jiang Demon Realm Entrance had been anchored, and the current selection for the Demon Suppressing Army in Luo Jiang Prefecture required Fifth Realm strength.

Although Zhang Dawei had the points Xiao Weiqing gave him and had reached the Fourth Realm—which wasn't bad—the gap between him and the top geniuses was still significant. After all, Zhang Dawei only had a Level 3 Extraordinary Talent.

Furthermore, since Lu Mengxi was pregnant, she likely wouldn't let Zhang Dawei join the Demon Suppressing Army.

"I haven't decided yet, but Mengxi's father wants us to go back to Yunxia City."

Yunxia City was only a medium-sized city within Luo Jiang Prefecture.

The Family Lu Mengxi belonged to was considered prominent in Yunxia, but it wasn't an incredibly powerful one; Lu Mengxi's grandfather only had Sixth Realm strength.

Still, they were considered local Powerhouses in a medium-sized city.

"What is your own opinion?"

Zhang Dawei slowly pulled back his smile and fell into silence.

After a long pause.

Zhang Dawei spoke up, "Actually, I don't want to go to Yunxia City."

Hearing this, Lu Mengxi's expression changed slightly.

Xiao Weiqing took all of this in.

"Then don't go."

Zhang Dawei glanced at Lu Mengxi and let out a subtle, quiet sigh.

"Do you want Da Wei to go back with you?"

"It's not that, Brother Qing. It's just that my Family is pushing hard, and it's difficult for me to go against my father's wishes."

Xiao Weiqing nodded slightly.

Lu Mengxi was an only daughter, but her father had many siblings. Lu Mengxi had achieved some success in her cultivation at Luo Jiang Academy, and Zhang Dawei wasn't bad either, so Lu Mengxi's father naturally wanted the two of them to return to Yunxia City to help him.

"Senior."

"Yes, Brother Qing?"

"Does your father know about the relationship between Da Wei and me?"

Xiao Weiqing's single sentence made Lu Mengxi break into a cold sweat, feeling as though she were sitting on pins and needles.

"Br... Brother Qing, I have never revealed this. My father rarely interferes with me and goes along with whatever I want; otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to me being with Da Wei."

"Of course, I'm not saying Da Wei isn't good. What I mean is... I mean..."

Lu Mengxi began to stutter in her anxiety. she just wanted to express that her father hadn't agreed to her relationship with Zhang Dawei because of his connection to Xiao Weiqing.
