My Pretty Campus Queen-Chapter 839 - 837: Temporary Peace

"Is it delicious?" Watching the smile on Wu Mengting’s face, a subtle sense of happiness arose spontaneously.

"Mhm!"

Wu Mengting responded softly; sometimes she was just this gentle. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

At this moment, a refreshing fragrance wafted over, leaving Chen Tianlong stunned once again. Mentor Fang Zun had said she might not activate the Sponge Physique, no wonder her body had such a pleasant scent.

Moreover, this fragrance made him feel refreshed and full of energy, just as if he were cultivating and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi filled his whole being.

Wu Mengting had just taken a few bites and turned around to see Chen Tianlong leaning in to sniff. Suddenly, her pretty face blushed; Chen Tianlong dared to be so bold in class, couldn’t he wait till they got back to the villa?

"Chen Tianlong, let’s save it for tonight."

Wu Mengting reminded him, then her cheeks turned rosy.

"Hehe, alright."

Chen Tianlong understood what Wu Mengting meant and returned to his seat.

Currently, his strength had already reached a one-star Profound Dao level, and the Flaming Frenzy Dragon Fist had improved as well. He planned to review all the moves and Heart Method of the Flaming Frenzy Dragon Fist when he had free time tonight, even though he hadn’t learned higher-level skills yet, it’s good to be prepared.

Soon, the bell rang, and the homeroom teacher Gu Xiaofeng came in and started the class as usual. Suddenly, Chen Tianlong’s gaze fell on a few stunning figures, and he felt somewhat ashamed.

Jiang Yufan, she saved his life in Yunfu. Her purpose was clear when she traveled so far to attend school here; she wanted to be close to him.

Yet Chen Tianlong not only refused to acknowledge his connection with her but also ignored her, making him feel genuinely guilty.

The other was Ouyang Meijia, though the girl didn’t have much emotional connection with him, just a pure friendship. But Chen Tianlong didn’t think that a girl would transfer schools just to be a buddy.

The last one was Yang Xinru.

Yang Xinru and Chen Tianlong only met twice, the first was at the Capital City People’s Hospital’s operating table, where they seamlessly worked together to save Shen Mengyan’s mother.

These three women had already left indelible memories in Chen Tianlong’s life, but Chen Tianlong had his heart set on someone else. Regarding Meijia, he could only apologize, and for Yufan, he hesitated because he had already signed a marriage contract with her grandmother, and she had even sacrificed herself to save him.

To a girl, the body is very important, and Chen Tianlong knew this. Although they hadn’t done anything, they had shared intimate moments, and he truly didn’t know how to resolve this.

After some thought, Chen Tianlong passed a note to Yufan, hoping to have lunch with him at noon. Their relationship was indeed complicated, but Jiang Yufan had never caused trouble, making Chen Tianlong feel she was very considerate.

After receiving the note, Yufan looked back and saw Chen Tianlong nod. She nodded too, indicating her agreement.

At that moment, she was very excited.

Although she didn’t want to be Xiaosan and disrupt Chen Tianlong’s normal life, she genuinely liked him. Seeing him getting along so well with Wu Mengting recently, the kind-hearted Jiang Yufan hadn’t made any moves.

As expected, when the lunch break came, Chen Tianlong didn’t have lunch with Wu Mengting. Instead, he met Yufan outside, worried about being seen at school.

Thus, the two felt like they were sneaking around and arrived at a tea restaurant outside school, where they sat down and ordered food.

Since they hadn’t spoken for a long time, both felt a bit awkward upon meeting, lacking the familiarity they once had.

At this moment, Jiang Yufan genuinely felt that for two people to be together, mutual care was needed, not just one-sided longing. Such affection inevitably fades due to the passage of time.

"Yufan, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault."

"Chen Tianlong, no need to say it, I know."

As Jiang Yufan said this, her heart was bleeding. She wished to be cared for and loved by Chen Tianlong just like Wu Mengting, at least having a place in his heart.

"Alright, you see, my heart is so small; now there’s only Wu Mengting. If you feel I..."

"Chen Tianlong, I won’t give up, even if I can only secretly catch a glimpse of you once a day, I feel very happy." Jiang Yufan interrupted Chen Tianlong herself.

At this moment, Chen Tianlong was stunned.

He knew that in his lifetime, he would certainly owe many emotional debts.

"Rest assured, I won’t disturb you and Wu Mengting. Don’t mind the grandmother’s contract. I’m simply sincere in my affection for you, nothing more." Jiang Yufan explained while blushing.

She was lying; it wasn’t that she didn’t care, but she felt caring wouldn’t make a difference.

"Whew..."

Chen Tianlong took a deep breath. He saw Jiang Yufan’s affection with his own eyes. Since she said this, he decided to leave things as they were. After all, everyone was still young; maybe in a few years, after they’ve experienced urban splendor and met different people, she might just let go on her own.

As the meal progressed, although they appeared cheerful on the surface, Chen Tianlong knew Jiang Yufan was unhappy; he could sense her confusion from her occasional lost look.

"Yufan, meeting you made me very happy." Chen Tianlong suddenly said.

Jiang Yufan was taken aback, then smiled. She didn’t know what Chen Tianlong wanted to say, but at that moment, she believed everything she had done for him was worthwhile.

Having met Jiang Yufan at noon, Chen Tianlong arranged to meet Yang Xinru after school in the afternoon. Though they hadn’t spent much time together, they were very in sync.

"Chen Tianlong, why the sudden invite for dinner? Is there something up?" Yang Xinru, however, was direct. Her brother Yang Fan had mentioned that Chen Tianlong was a good person, except that he had a girlfriend.

The Yang Family had strict teachings; knowing that Chen Tianlong had a girlfriend, Yang Xinru rarely approached him in that regard, as she wouldn’t want to become the third party.

No matter how much she liked someone, she couldn’t be selfish enough to ruin someone else’s happiness for her satisfaction. Yang Xinru truly couldn’t do that.

"Haha, just inviting you for a meal, nothing happening really." Chen Tianlong chuckled lightly, watching Yang Xinru’s cute demeanor, feeling relieved.

They chatted and ate.

During the meal, Yang Xinru suddenly remembered something and said to Chen Tianlong, "Oh, my dad mentioned that three experts from the Celestial Pill Sect came to South Sea City, and they are very familiar with the Mo Family. I’m not sure if they pose any threat to you."

"Oh? Celestial Pill Sect? What’s that?" Chen Tianlong was startled and asked.

"Haha, the Celestial Pill Sect is one of Huaxia’s largest Ancient Sects, gathering Huaxia’s top cultivators, and they hold a Cultivator’s Trial every three years with generous prizes." Yang Xinru explained truthfully.

"Alright, I see. So why did the Celestial Pill Sect hook up with the Mo Family, and what are they doing in South Sea City?"

Chen Tianlong was completely clueless about the Celestial Pill Sect. When he was an assassin, he only knew about matters in the Mortal Realm, while those Ancient Sects were untouchable and indomitable.
