Being forced to grow like a pig? But I'm immune to the consequences!

The latest update is now available on Cola Novels; we await your interpretation.

After the conflict between Liu Zhen and Liu Zhi, Liu Zhen remained silent.

He watched with a cold eye as Liu Zhi gloated, Xu Fei fawned over him, Ning Yi played both sides, and Song Tai acted arrogantly, which made him increasingly annoyed.

I even felt a little regretful about attending this dinner party.

His original purpose was to befriend Song Tai and the other advanced training ground students.

Unexpectedly, at the dinner party, Liu Zhi showed him no mercy and insisted on confronting him head-on.

Liu Zhi was originally a good friend of Song Tai. Now that the two have fallen out, how can he get along with Song Tai and the other advanced training ground students?

Liu Zhen could see it clearly.

He and Song Tai were not familiar with each other.

Therefore, Liu Zhi's attitude represents Song Tai's attitude.

With someone like Liu Zhi interfering, he knew that his relationship with Song Tai was no longer harmonious. As for the other advanced training ground students, they were even more closely aligned with Song Tai.

He turned his head to look at Ellis beside him, whose face was ashen with anger, and suddenly felt a sense of sympathy for her.

The dinner lasted for nearly an hour before it finally came to an end.

"I thoroughly enjoyed this meal today," Song Tai said casually to everyone. "Don't worry, from now on, if you encounter any trouble at the training ground, just mention my name, Song Tai. Even if you're an instructor, you'll still give me some face."

"Well, we've eaten enough now, let's go home."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone got up and left.

Iris and Liu Zhen didn't want to linger, so they got up and headed straight out. Liu Zhen was still polite enough to nod to Song Tai and the others and say, "We're leaving now." Song Tai just waved casually, not even glancing at them, as a perfunctory response.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, a strange light flashed in Song Tai's eyes, and a playful smile appeared on his lips. He then released his arms from Liu Zhi and Xu Fei, adopting the demeanor of an older brother.

"Liu Zhi, today's arrangements were excellent, I'm very satisfied."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhi grinned, as if it were nothing to do.

Song Tai then turned to Xu Fei and patted his arm: "You're just my type. If you ever need anything, just come to me. I'll protect you."

Xu Fei was overjoyed, nodding repeatedly with a beaming smile, as if he had received a tremendous favor. He immediately patted his chest and promised, "Brother Tai, if you ever need anything in the future, I will do my best to fulfill it!"

To highlight his own value, he quickly added, "My brother works in the manor of the three noble families and occasionally manages to gather some useful information."

A hint of joy flashed in Song Tai's eyes, and he said with great interest, "I didn't expect you to have this kind of connection. I underestimated you."

Seeing this, Xu Fei was even more flattered, and her smile deepened, feeling that she had finally climbed to a higher position.

Song Tai laughed and patted the two on the shoulders: "Alright, you two go back first, don't wait for me, I have something to do."

The two glanced at Ning Yi beside them, instantly understanding each other. A mischievous smile appeared on their lips as they replied in unison, "Understood, we'll be going now. You go ahead with your work, Brother Tai."

After saying that, he turned and walked away quickly.

With a touch of languid drunkenness, Song Tai reached out and put his arm around Ning Yi's shoulder again, his behavior becoming increasingly intimate, his fingertips even carrying a hint of flirtation.

Ning Yi felt uncomfortable being held like this, her whole body tense, but she didn't dare to break free directly, so she could only pretend to be coy and reluctant.

She looked up in the direction where Iris had left and could still catch a glimpse of her back. But Iris only glanced back briefly, saw her being held in Song Tai's arms, and immediately turned away without looking again.

That glance made Ning Yi feel a tightness in her chest. She lowered her head, hiding the expression in her eyes, but her mind was racing.

At that moment, Song Tai leaned close to her ear, his voice low and seductive: "Don't go back to the martial arts academy tonight, okay?"

Ning Yi shook her head gently, her mind already in turmoil.

Everything that happened today was far beyond her expectations, and upon closer examination, she found herself completely on the defensive.

She originally only wanted to have a minor disagreement with Ellis and leave her out for a few days, but she never expected that a dinner party would completely break their relationship, leaving no possibility of reconciliation.

But Ning Yi was never one to hesitate. She quickly sorted out her thoughts: since it was already beyond saving with Iris, she had to hold on tightly to Song Tai.

The key is to strike the right balance, preventing Song Tai from getting his way too easily while maintaining the relationship.

She could tell that Song Taiyuan was more difficult to deal with than she had imagined, and even completely different from what she had expected. She even secretly wondered if Song Taiyuan already knew about her relationship with Ellis, which was why he was deliberately so unrestrained at the dinner party.

But things have come to this point, and there's no use thinking about it anymore. Right now, all she can do is cling to Song Tai, her only reliable support.

"Brother Tai, it's too late, I have to go back. The Martial Academy has a clear rule that you can't stay out overnight." Ning Yi pretended to be obedient and declined.

Song Tai's eyes darkened, and his tone, though indifferent, carried an undeniable sense of pressure: "Think carefully, you only have one chance."

After saying that, he stared straight at Ning Yi with a threatening look in his eyes.

Ning Yi's expression changed instantly. She hadn't expected Song Tai to be so direct, leaving no room for negotiation, even more forceful than Iris had been.

"Brother Tai, what do you mean by that? I don't quite understand." She pretended to be clueless, trying to bluff her way out.

Song Tai's lips curled into a cold smile, and his tone turned icy: "If you don't understand, then forget it. Don't tell anyone else that I, Song Tai, never gave you a chance."

After saying that, he turned around and left with several other advanced training ground students.

Seeing this, Ning Yi's face darkened completely.

Because of Song Tai, she and Iris completely broke up. If she can't even hold onto this relationship with Song Tai, then she will have truly come up with nothing and gained nothing at all.

She could tell that Song Tai was not joking. If she didn't make a statement now, Song Tai would definitely turn around and leave, and never have anything to do with her again.

She was truly unwilling to pay the price for meeting him only once.

For a long time, the men around her were nothing more than tools for her to climb up and playthings in her hands. She never thought that one day she would become someone else's prey.

At this moment, she truly realized how direct and deep the methods and thoughts were of the students in these advanced training grounds, the descendants of martial artists, and the collateral relatives of nobles.

But she also knew that she had no way out. With Iris's proud nature, even if she turned back and admitted her mistake, the other party would never forgive her. Even if they managed to reconcile, she would always be inferior to him.

Seeing that Song Tai was about to turn around completely, Ning Yi could no longer care about anything else. She quickly stepped forward and hugged him tightly from behind.

"Brother Tai, don't go."
