Upon hearing her say this, Zuo Le immediately realized that the other person already knew about Tu Mi, and immediately stood up:

"Hello."

"Tu Mi has safely returned to the church. Because of her sneaking out this time, she may be disciplined for a period of time, but you will still have the opportunity to meet in the future."

Zuo Le didn't ask the other party about Tu Mi, but the other party directly told him about Tu Mi's situation, which made him feel very comfortable.

"Thank you, let's talk again another time."

“Xinling has already told me everything. I really owe you a lot this time. I’m the one who should be thanking you.” Tuqi nodded slightly.

"No need to be polite. Are they also students of the Holy Light Department?" Zuo Le felt that Cheng Xinling and Zhang Jing were too weak, almost no different from ordinary people.

"Does Zuo Le think those two are too weak?"

This was the second time; Tuqi seemed to have guessed what he was thinking.

Zuo Le hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

"Yes, there is a bit."

Tu Qi smiled and then explained to the two girls:

"The Holy Light Department is also divided into many disciplines. They major in prayer and are freshmen, so they don't have much combat power. They will be much better in their second year."

Zuo Le nodded, then asked another question:

Is it common for gangsters to directly kidnap female students?

"It's rare. These kinds of things mostly happen in shantytowns, suburbs, and homeless areas. The two of them took part-time jobs at after-school tutoring centers to earn money, which is why this happened."

When Tuqi brought up this matter, her beautiful eyes and brows became somewhat serious.

Seeing him like this, Zuo Le felt a pang of pity.

She was beautiful, had a great figure, was gentle, and had a pleasant voice. Even Zuo Le couldn't help but want to chat with her a little longer...

Just as he was about to speak again, a voice suddenly came from beside him:

"Zuo Le!"

The call from behind was like a crisp alarm bell, directly waking Zuo Le from his thoughts, which had been shrouded in a veil.

He was slightly dazed for a moment before his pupils refocused.

At that moment, Lu Chaoxi walked over and stood beside him.

"Tu Qi." The girl from the Martial Arts Academy stared at Tu Qi, her eyes full of vigilance and warning.

But Tuqi didn't care at all, and still maintained that gentle light:

"What a coincidence, morning and evening?"

Lu Chaoxi pursed her lips, grabbed Zuo Le's hand, and took a step back to distance herself from Tu Qi.

Zuo Le remained silent after her arrival, and did not resist Lu Chaoxi's pulling, silently following her back.

Because he had already figured out why Lu Chaoxi did this.

The problem lies with Tu Qi on the other side.

【Tuqi】

【Favourability: 1】

【Characteristic S - Alluring】: As long as you get close enough, even just a glance, a whisper, or a touch will captivate you.

【Trait S - Extraordinary】: Born with a huge difference from ordinary people, whether in appearance or ability.

【Trait S - Flawless】: Under normal circumstances, neither she nor her abilities have any flaws or weaknesses.

【Trait S - Envy of the Holy Light】: Even the purest holy light is subject to envy.

【Trait S-Witch】: Power is nothing but her slave.

[Introduction: Countless beings without boundaries, when she exists in this world, the world will inevitably fall to her; power will merely be her slave.]

Is this Tuqi's characteristic?

Five, a full five S-level, is even more outrageous than the sum of Tu Mi and Lu Chaoxi combined, and by a whole lot more.

After she started talking to Zuo Le, even Zuo Le's guarded nature couldn't help but want to keep talking to her; perhaps that was the power of her "allure".

Was she doing it intentionally? Or unintentionally?

What does a mere 1 point of favorability mean?

Zuo Le was also unsure, and could only say that it was fortunate that Lu Chaoxi had called out to her earlier.

Otherwise, he might still be immersed in his acquaintance with Tuqi.

Zuo Le always felt that his will was strong enough, but he would never believe that his will could overcome everything, at least when he encountered a cheater.

Tu Qi is obviously cheating.

Tu Qi seemed to notice Zuo Le's aloofness, but she didn't care at all, only smiling faintly:

"Thank you for today, both of you. Goodbye!"

She remained reserved and gentle throughout, without making any deliberate attempts to get closer, nor did she become angry or distant because of the changes in Zuo Le and the others' attitudes.

That feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze is truly refreshing.

Before leaving, Cheng Xinling suddenly walked over and circled around to stand in front of Zuo Le.

She was wearing a simple school uniform, her hands behind her back, and her beautiful appearance was like the white moonlight of most boys in high school.

She stood on tiptoe and brought her face slightly closer to Zuo Le's ear:

"Does Brother Zuo believe in love at first sight?"

Zuo Le paused for a moment, then shook his head directly:

"It was just lust at first sight."

But the girl, before leaving, had eyes full of affection and spoke earnestly:

"I believe that love at first sight is an instantaneous explosion of accumulated aesthetic appreciation. It is the construction of a virtual image in one's mind after seeing many beautiful things."

It didn't exist originally; it only became real the moment it saw him, and that's when my heart skipped a beat.

After the girl finished speaking, she straightened up, as if she had unloaded a heavy burden after expressing her feelings.

She didn't expect a response from Zuo Le and waved goodbye.

"Brother Zuo, I'm leaving."

"Ah."

It wasn't until Tu Qi left with the two girls that Lu Chaoxi frowned and looked at Zuo Le beside her.

If I hadn't rushed over to wake him up, he probably would have been bewitched by that wicked woman Tu Qi and would have even been in the mood to flirt with other girls.

Lu Chaoxi crossed her arms:

"You're really popular; girls like you wherever you go."

Zuo Le sensed the slight unease in her words and directly retorted:

"So, do you like it?"

Chapter 42 I declare that Lu Chaoxi is a good person.

Lu Chaoxi was stunned by Zuo Le's sudden question.

Although she wasn't as stunning as Tu Qi, she was still tall and had long legs, and was naturally beautiful, making her quite popular at the Martial Arts Academy.

However, because of their status and power, everyone respected and treated her with great respect, and it was impossible for them to ask her so bluntly like Zuo Le did... whether she liked her or not.

"What are you talking about? How could you ask such a question so casually!"

Lu Chaoxi was unaware that her face had turned red.

Zuo Le, being quite carefree, asked another question:

So, do you like it?

"I don't like you. We've only known each other for a short time, how could I possibly like you?"

"Then why do you care whether other people like me or not?"

"Ugh?"

Lu Chaoxi was also taken aback. Yes, why should she care whether others liked Zuo Le or not?

Before she could figure it out, Zuo Le launched another soul-searching question:

Why are you here?

Lu Chaoxi opened her mouth, her expression, still somewhat bewildered, gradually turning awkward.

"Well, I needed to talk to you about something earlier. I went to your dorm but couldn't find you, so I went to your advisor, but couldn't find him either. Luckily, the police station called your teacher, so I came here in his place."

The whole process sounds complicated, but it seems to be working fine.

But the question is, why did she contact me?

Could it be that he wants him to pay back the money?

Zuo Le was already making up rural stories in his mind, thinking about how to renege on the money, but he didn't expect Lu Chaoxi to suddenly bow to him.

What are you doing?

Zuo Le instinctively flinched; he was poor and couldn't afford to pay for this kind of con artist's attempt to extort money from a rich girl.

Seeing Zuo Le's reaction, Lu Chaoxi felt as uncomfortable as if she had eaten wasabi fried rice.

There was guilt and remorse for misunderstanding Zuo Le, as well as shame and indignation at being teased by the other party for liking him; it was all very complicated.

But the virtues of a watchman compel her to correct her mistakes and apologize for the wrongs she had committed.

So even with her emotions in turmoil, she gritted her teeth and spoke:

"I'm really... sorry about giving you ten thousand yuan last time."

Lu Chaoxi's expression was very solemn, as if she were talking about something very serious. Seeing her like this, Zuo Le's face immediately fell.

Indeed, what doesn't belong to you will eventually have to be returned!

Fortunately, I didn't pretend to be rich when I was dealing with the Red Apple gang. I made a total of over 2 yuan from looting their bodies and bags, and I also got Scarface's card. I don't know how much was on it.

Zuo Le originally intended to use this money to replenish supplies and upgrade equipment.

2 seems like a lot, but it's actually not much. Now that Lu Chaoxi has asked for another 1 off, things are getting a bit difficult to manage.

Zuo Le has no intention of not repaying the money.

In any case, Lu Chaoxi's 1 yuan had a huge positive effect on him.

He obtained the powerful weapon, the Ghost Return, bypassed the proper procedures to get a weapon shop membership card, and replenished his ammunition, potions, and so on.

It's fair to say that without that 10,000 yuan, Red Apple Scarface's battle would not have been as easy as it is now.

They would at least suffer serious injuries, and there was even a possibility of the vehicle overturning.

But that's how the world works: you can owe money to the poor, but you can't owe money to the rich.

Poor people might curse you, but rich people can mess with you anytime.

Thinking of this, Zuo Le took out his spoils from earlier, pulled out a wad of cash from the bloodstained wallet, and began counting it.

While he was still grieving the impending repayment, Lu Chaoxi was also immersed in her own apologies and remorse.

"Zuo Le, I misunderstood you before. I not only insulted you with money, but also slandered your character. I was wrong."

"You've been able to keep your friend's secret for so long, enduring stigma and contempt without ever arguing back. That's truly remarkable. I, Lu Chaoxi, have been judging you by my own standards. I apologize."

No?

Zuo Le, who was still counting money, was taken aback.

what happened?

This top-ranked lady is really joking!

Judging from Lu Chaoxi's words and reaction, she must have gone to see Tu Qi and learned the whole story from her.
