Douluo Continent: Reincarnation of Huo Linfei, Illusory Lin Nebula

Chapter 68 Zhu Zhuqing suddenly realized

The next day, Huo Linfei got up late.

Even in a place like this, he didn't have the habit of getting up early.

You ask him why he doesn't cultivate.

Sorry, I need to take a break from time to time.

One cannot spend one's entire life cultivating oneself; otherwise, when would it ever end?

After washing up, Huo Linfei prepared to go out to find food.

As soon as I pushed open the door, a burning gaze was cast my way.

He followed his instincts and looked over, only to see Zhu Zhuqing, who had shared a table with him yesterday, staring at him.

"morning."

Huo Linfei said instinctively.

Zhu Zhuqing was silent for a moment, then said, "It's getting late."

Normally, I should have gotten up two hours ago.

Moreover, under her "surveillance" last night, Huo Linfei did not use meditation to replace sleep like she did.

"Sleep should be enjoyable; if you can't sleep until you naturally wake up, it's pure torture."

Huo Linfei noticed the tired look on Zhu Zhuqing's face and sighed, "Girls really have it tough."

"Fatty, are you awake yet?"

Bang bang bang!

The knocking continued, but there was no response whatsoever.

"What's wrong with this fatso...?"

"Where have you been so early in the morning?"

Zhu Zhuqing watched all this quietly from the side. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I didn't see him leave the room. He must still be cultivating."

"Cultivation?" Huo Linfei asked with a strange expression.

Then, with some doubt, he asked in return, "How long have you been here?"

Are you sure?

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing was speechless.

After a long pause, Zhu Zhuqing said, "Not long."

"Forget about him, let's go find something to eat." Huo Linfei felt his stomach protesting, and he didn't care whether Miao Tiaojun was in the room or not.

He's such a grown man.

Even if they weren't inside the house, they wouldn't have disappeared.

Just then, he suddenly noticed that Zhu Zhuqing had followed them, and asked in surprise, "Do you want to come along?"

"Is that alright?" Zhu Zhuqing's expression was aloof, her eyes indifferent, making it impossible to discern what she was thinking.

"One more person won't make a difference, and one less person won't make a difference either." Huo Linfei thought for a moment and said, "I don't care."

Zhu Zhuqing came up to eat with us, and putting everything else aside, she was quite pleasing to the eye.

Moreover, this aloofness, this otherworldly air, is quite unique.

Simply put, it's full of stories.

She is completely different from the fiery Huo Wu, the petty Hu Liena, the scheming Ning Rongrong, and the spoiled and willful Xiao Wu.

She's quite comparable to Shui Bing'er from Tianshui Academy!

Zhu Zhuqing noticed Huo Linfei's scrutinizing gaze and felt a pang of guilt.

"Could it be that he found out I was spying on him last night...?"

Huo Linfei frowned slightly.

His shifty eyes and unnatural movements made him look like someone who had done something wrong; it was obvious he had done something bad.

"Waiter, bring me all your best dishes."

After ordering his food in a straightforward manner, Huo Linfei sat down and waited quietly.

Zhu Zhuqing sat down opposite him.

He's not one to sit idle.

"Zhu Zhuqing, what was the reason you were expelled from Shrek Academy?"

Huo Linfei's face was full of gossip.

"Don't worry, I will never laugh at you."

Zhu Zhuqing sighed.

Why do people always say she was fired?

"I wasn't fired."

"I left Shrek Academy on my own."

"Can you tell me?" Huo Linfei's eyes lit up with understanding. "Was it because Shrek Academy's environment was too poor, and it was built in a village with very few students that you left?"

"Neither," Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and said, "It's because I feel that Shrek Academy doesn't have the ability to make me stronger quickly. I don't think I could improve much in such a learning environment in a short period of time."

Huo Linfei rolled his eyes at Zhu Zhuqing and said, "Isn't that because their learning environment is too poor?"

Zhu Zhuqing pursed her thin lips: "Mainly... because of people..."

"I understand, I understand." Huo Linfei waved his hand. "I became acquainted with Shrek Academy through a fight, and I know about their situation. With that fatso and that golden retriever around, it's no wonder the learning environment is bad."

Zhu Zhuqing fell silent, recalling the scene where Huo Linfei had burned Ma Hongjun's clothes and hair to ashes in front of everyone.

Thinking of the "golden retriever" that Huo Linfei mentioned, he couldn't help but lower his head.

"So... Dai Mubai became like that because of him..." Zhu Zhuqing smiled bitterly to herself, not knowing whether this was a blessing or a curse.

"What's wrong?" Huo Linfei asked, puzzled. "You don't look well. Could it be...?"

Huo Linfei became extremely wary.

Oh no, does Zhu Zhuqing have a good relationship with those two people?

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I just thought of some unpleasant things."

At this moment, Qin Ming stepped out from one side of the two and came to Huo Linfei's side, looking at Zhu Zhuqing with an embarrassed expression:

"Um... excuse me for interrupting."

"Is the Shrek Academy you were just talking about the one in Soto City?"

"Is their dean named Flander?"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded.

"That's right."

Qin Ming's eyes lit up, but he also felt a little regretful: "What a coincidence, I was also a student at Shrek Academy."

Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat surprised.

Huo Linfei carefully examined Qin Ming from head to toe.

Whether it's his clothes, appearance, or demeanor and speech, Qin Ming doesn't seem like he came from Shrek Academy at all!

Having learned from the mistakes of Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, he didn't believe Shrek Academy could produce any normal students.

"Did you also drop out of Shrek Academy like Zhu Zhuqing, after just enrolling?"

"Uh..." Qin Ming looked embarrassed and waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, Shrek Academy is my alma mater. I joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy after graduating from there."

"Actually, Shrek Academy is pretty good. Although it doesn't have great facilities, its teaching staff is very strong."

Huo Linfei shook his head: "A teacher's strength does not necessarily mean that his teaching ability is strong. On the other hand, a teacher who is not strong will definitely not be a strong teacher."

"Uh..." Qin Ming frowned slightly and said, "Shrek Academy is still my alma mater, so please don't have such a big opinion, young man."

At the very least, don't say it in front of me, okay?

Huo Linfei raised an eyebrow: "Uncle, that's a bit unreasonable of you. Aren't I stating the facts? Besides, do I have a problem with Shrek Academy because I need your approval?"
