Who told him to make the cards!

The moment the topic was brought up, dozens of perfectly healthy people suddenly mutated, their eyes turning red.

Chen Zhi is so annoying.

He really didn't know where Shen Qinglian got such great charm.

So what if she has a high social status, outstanding temperament, and good looks?

Why did it have to come to this!

Just accepting a mission from the Holy Maiden is enough to drive these guys crazy. If they knew that Shen Qinglian also gave him a national craftsman's brush, wouldn't he be chopped into mincemeat?

"Say!"

"What exactly is your relationship with Her Highness the Holy Maiden?!"

Dozens of rough-looking men pressed closer and closer.

Chen Zhi's forehead was covered in sweat as he kept backing away.

Liu Bai naturally wouldn't let Chen Zhi get beaten up.

But they won't be able to get Chen Zhi out of trouble so quickly.

The hero must act at the crucial moment to ensure the beauty fully benefits from the suspension bridge effect, thus gaining more favor.

Yes, in Liu Bai's eyes, Chen Zhi is now the most beautiful woman in Qinggong Academy.

His beauty lies not in his skin, not in his bones, nor in his gender.

Rather, it lies in "transcending the domain".

Liu Bai has few friends and isn't very good at socializing.

But he reads a lot of books and has a wealth of theoretical knowledge.

So he waited and waited.

He only made his move when Chen Zhi was cornered.

A single ink line shot out silently, weaving beneath the crowd and binding dozens of legs.

Liu Bai gently pulled.

"Boom."

"Ouch!"

"who!"

Dozens of students immediately fell down in a heap.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Liu Bai rushed over, grabbed Chen Zhi's arm just like Chen Zhi had grabbed him in the mine, and ran away with Chen Zhi.

"Walk."

The two rushed out of the glass room, darted into the woods, and ran all the way to the pavilion by the pond.

Chen Zhi was exhausted, bent over and panting heavily.

"Damn it, a bunch of lunatics."

Chen Zhi, breathless, complained, "Where did you guys find so many lunatics?"

Liu Bai adjusted his glasses and said calmly, "It's normal to have some symptoms due to the high pressure of society."

"..." Chen Zhi was speechless for a moment.

That's absolutely right.

"Actually, they are quite pitiful."

Liu Bai walked to the edge of the pond. The water was clean and clear, with a few fallen leaves floating on it.

There were no fish in the pond, and the surface of the water was as still as if it had lost its vitality.

He picked up a stone from the ground and threw it in, creating a cheerful splash.

"Before entering the Palace of the Virgins, their lives were like this pool of water: lonely, silent, and without ripples."

"No one wants to get close to them, and no one wants to be their friend."

"Living environment determines a person's character."

“If this continues for a long time, even the most cheerful and lively person in childhood will become withdrawn when they grow up.”

This is not a sad narrative, but Liu Bai's own experience.

"Until they met the deacon of the Saintess Palace."

"Qinggong Academy is the place that values ​​ability the most. As long as you are good enough, even if you are a weirdo who carries a wrench around all day, you will still be respected."

"You know who I'm talking about."

Liu Bai gazed at the lake, his eyes behind his glasses calm and deep, like an old man who had experienced all aspects of life.

Chen Zhi paused for a moment, then said:

"Didn't I tell you that talking like that is pretentious?"

"..."

Liu Bai's expression froze for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.

He said casually, "This isn't an act; it's just stating the facts."

"You can't imagine the suffering we've endured."

"..."

The flavor is even stronger now.

Chen Zhi decided to change the subject and talk to Liu Bai about the Holy Maiden.

"From the moment I arrived at Qinggong Academy and you saw me until now, including the assigned task just now, have my whereabouts and choices been all part of Her Highness's calculations?"

"The word 'scheming' is not good," Liu Bai glanced at him and said, "Don't use it next time."

Chen Zhizhi said, "I feel like she's leading me by the nose."

“That’s normal. I was like that at first too.” Liu Bai walked back to the pavilion, sat down and said, “Your Highness is indeed very clever, but cleverness should not be equated with scheming and ill intentions.”

"You may not know about Her Highness's deeds."

Liu Bai took out his book box, opened it, and found that one of the pages was actually an LCD screen that could connect to the internet.

He logged onto the Vatican's official website, found all the public administrative records about Shen Qinglian, and handed them to Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi browsed through them one by one, his brows gradually relaxing.

It seems he has misunderstood Shen Qinglian.

The liberation and reform of the Blackstone mining area was not an isolated case, but rather the norm for this saintly lady in handling affairs.

She is a saint to the people.

But in fact, this misunderstanding has nothing to do with his attitude towards Shen Qinglian.

He simply doesn't like being "manipulated" by others.

In Chen Zhi's eyes, feelings and interests can be separated.

He would still retain his initial opinion of Shen Qinglian; this girl was no ordinary person.

At the same time, this did not stop him from getting closer to Shen Qinglian.

After all, he wasn't exactly simple either.

They can develop feelings for each other and things can progress in a better direction.

They can also each take what they need and offend each other.

Chen Zhi returned the book box to Liu Bai.

Liu Bai closed the book: "Now you should be able to understand what those lunatics are thinking."

A girl who was almost perfect in appearance, status, and character, and who had even redeemed herself.

As members of the opposite sex, it's hard for them not to admire this person.

It's just that his mental deficiencies made this admiration rather extreme.

Emotions are difficult to control; this is a common problem for all card masters before they obtain a card that truly suits them.

“But you seem different from them,” Chen Zhi said.

During the last time he went down the well, he had physical contact with Shen Qinglian three times.

Liu Bai saw it all, but did not fall ill.

Liu Bai nodded his head again.

“I know you’re out of your mind, and your problem is bigger than theirs,” Chen Zhi said.

This is also why he was curious; logically, Liu Bai should be more easily provoked.

Liu Bai suddenly hardened his fist.

Why does Chen Zhi talk in such an annoying way, just like Chu Qinhe?
