Chapter 76: Transferring Schools

In the days that followed, Wang Luo did not step outside his room, not even once. On one hand, he was too ashamed to face anyone—the marks of passionate kisses covered his body; on the other hand, he still couldn’t fully accept the idea of intimacy between men. Although he had heard plenty about such things in his previous life and didn’t reject the notion outright, he had never imagined it would happen to him. What’s more, he had inexplicably been taken advantage of...

“Damn it! If I ever find out who did this, I’ll definitely—”

After taking a fierce bite of tender chicken, Wang Luo growled these words. Yet he couldn’t finish the sentence—what would he do if he found out? Kill them? Dismember them? Or would he take back what was done to him...

“Definitely what? Do it again?”

A voice suddenly sounded beside his ear, making Wang Luo jump in fright. He leapt up, ready to put distance between himself and the newcomer for safety.

“Hey, what are you doing? I nearly got scolded to death for your sake. I finished everything I had to do just to come see you, and this is how you treat me?”

Before Wang Luo could escape, he was pulled into an embrace. Hearing the teasing tone and feeling warm breath on his neck, he couldn’t help but tremble.

“It’s you?”

“Of course it’s me! Haven’t seen me in a few days, did you miss me?”

“Of course I missed you! I always—”

Seeing the familiar white robe and gentle smile, Wang Luo, knowing escape was futile, relaxed. With a mischievous glint, he lifted Chelsea’s chin and was about to respond flirtatiously, but then remembered what Chelsea had said earlier.

He recalled Prielle and Abigail telling him he’d been rescued by a man in white whom they didn’t recognize. At the time, Wang Luo suspected it was Chelsea, but then thought about the marks on his body and wasn’t sure. Now, hearing Chelsea mention all he’d done for him, Wang Luo was certain—it had been Chelsea who saved him. And thus, Chelsea was also the one who...

Bang—

A black dagger flashed in his hand, and with no hesitation, Wang Luo thrust it at Chelsea’s throat. Shadowy energy stirred; in an instant, Wang Luo broke free from Chelsea’s arms and drove a bone sword toward him.

“Little Luo, I saved you, and you treat me like this?”

As Wang Luo pressed the attack, Chelsea continued to taunt him. He didn’t know why, but every time he saw Wang Luo, he felt like teasing him. Whatever noble demeanor he usually had was completely forgotten.

“Hmph!”

Wang Luo said nothing, but his bone sword became even more ferocious. Watching Chelsea’s smiling, infuriating face, Wang Luo didn’t know what to do. A strange restlessness filled him, and, inexplicably, that vanished feminine figure once again flitted through his mind...

“Little Luo, you heartless thing. I won’t fight back, let’s see if you really have it in you to hurt me—hey, you—”

Chelsea, thinking Wang Luo was just practicing his swordplay like the first time they met, didn’t care. But when he saw Wang Luo was out of breath, Chelsea felt a pang of concern and leaped out of range, dropping his guard. He didn’t believe Wang Luo would truly stab him.

But before he finished speaking, the bone sword unflinchingly pierced Chelsea’s chest. Though it missed his heart, the pain was somehow worse than if it had struck true.

“Why? After all we’ve—”

Chelsea looked up at Wang Luo in disbelief, tears clouding his eyes.

“Get out!”

“Alright. Heh...heh...hahaha...”

Not even glancing at his bleeding wound, Chelsea gave Wang Luo—whose eyes were cold and emotionless—a complicated look, spat a mouthful of blood, flashed with blue light, and leapt out the window.

“Mm...”

Wang Luo glanced at the shattered window, confusion overtaking him as he fainted. In the haze, he felt himself fall into an embrace that was not entirely unfamiliar...

When he awoke again, Wang Luo found himself in Cairo’s room. Neither he nor Cairo could recall what had happened. Wang Luo only remembered that Chelsea had come, they’d spoken for a while, and then Chelsea had left through the window.

Seeing the bloodstains on the floor, Wang Luo realized Chelsea had been injured in his room—not before arriving, but after. But how had Chelsea been hurt?

Though he didn’t know the reason, Wang Luo became more vigilant, resolving to ask Chelsea for a clear explanation the next time they met. To think someone would dare to commit violence in Tianxuan Academy—this was no small matter.

Because of Wang Luo’s outrageous conduct in class, the academy had suspended lessons. Conveniently, Wang Luo had no desire to attend classes and spent his days holed up in his room cultivating. Yet every time he tried to focus, that elusive feminine shadow haunted his mind like a nightmare.

After his encounter with Chelsea, Wang Luo found himself even more sensitive to thoughts of that mysterious figure, and his mood grew increasingly restless. If he hadn’t known full well he was no match for that wretched Gada, he might have hunted down Gada and Kiel, tied them up, and...

Once the marks on his body faded completely, Wang Luo finally breathed a great sigh of relief. Of course, he hadn’t forgotten the culprit, and cursed that shameless scoundrel in his heart for being so rough and unkind to him.

“Damn it, what am I even thinking?!”

Lost in thought, Wang Luo was startled by a knock at the door. He snapped back to himself, slapped his forehead in exasperation, and tossed his book onto the bed.

“Transfer schools?”

Hearing Abigail bring the news, Wang Luo responded with confusion, not understanding.

“That’s right. Starting tomorrow, you’ll be attending classes in the southern district. I heard the teachers there are really tough, and their students are trained to be just as fierce. There are a lot of geniuses, too—someone from our year has already broken through to level three!”

“It’s a little girl named Lisa, with super affinity for wind—she’s really strong!”

“But Wang Luo, you don’t need to worry. With your strength, you won’t be at a disadvantage in the southern district. But once you leave, our dorm won’t have any level-two experts left!”

“That’s right, we’d better step up our training, or the other dorms will definitely bully us...”

Listening to Prielle and Abigail chatter on, Wang Luo smiled faintly. Transferring schools might not be such a bad idea for him—at least it meant getting away from Kiel.

“Today’s my treat. Order whatever you want!”

The moment Wang Luo announced he was buying, Prielle and Abigail burst out in cheers, dragging him toward the dining hall. Cairo, expressionless as ever, watched the trio’s happy backs and followed silently.
