"Xia Yi, what are you doing here?" Yuan En Ye Hui and Ye Xing Lan looked at Xia Yi's sudden appearance, their expressions turning tense.
At this moment, Yali was scheming against Leng Yaozhu, and if Xia Yi walked in suddenly, Yali's plan could be exposed.
"This should be my question to you, right? This is the Spirit Pagoda. Is it strange for me to be here? But you two, what are you doing outside Zhu'er's office?" Xia Yi rolled his eyes at Yuan En Ye Hui and Ye Xing Lan.
"Saint Spirit Douluo has something to discuss with Sky Wind Douluo. We followed her here to see, and since we didn't want to disturb them, we just waited outside," Yuan En Ye Hui explained.
"Oh, what's the matter?" Xia Yi looked at Yuan En Ye Hui and Ye Xing Lan with a playful expression and asked, "Saint Spirit Douluo doesn't want to scam Zhu'er into getting me to agree to forge a two-character soul armor for you, does she?"
"Uh!" Yuan En Ye Hui and Ye Xing Lan were taken aback, their faces turning slightly red. They didn't know how to respond to Xia Yi's remark and could only awkwardly scratch their heads.
"Xia Yi, weren't you planning on sightseeing? Why don't we go with you?" Yuan En Ye Hui braved herself and spoke up.
No matter what, she had to stop Xia Yi from interrupting Yali's scheme and creating an opportunity for Yali to carry out her deception.
"Go sightseeing with me? Or is it you two, hmm! Hmm!" Xia Yi suddenly coughed violently.
Good heavens, staying in the Eight Kings Domain for a while made him so bold?
Xia Yi instinctively glanced at Ye Xing Lan and Yuan En Ye Hui.
Both of them were top-tier beauties, and now, with their figures fully matured, they were no longer wearing Shrek Academy's ugly green uniforms.
They were infinitely more alluring than when he had seen them back in the academy.
Now, with these two stunning women offering to accompany him for sightseeing, Xia Yi knew that most men would struggle to resist.
"What? Is there a problem?" Yuan En Ye Hui asked curiously when she saw Xia Yi's reaction.
"Yeah, we've known each other for a long time. Even though there were some unpleasant moments in the past, that's all over now. It's just sightseeing. Are you really going to react like this?" Ye Xing Lan coldly snorted.
"No, no, it's not you two," Xia Yi quickly shook his head. "After all, everyone has that one person around them who seems perfectly normal, but no matter what normal things they say, once it leaves their mouth, or once it reaches their ears, it turns into something completely different."
"Oh!" Yuan En Ye Hui nodded as if she somewhat understood, but then she quickly shook her head and laughed. "Wait, I feel like the people around me and Xing Lan are perfectly normal. There's no one like the person you're talking about."
"Uh, alright," Xia Yi didn't know what to say anymore.
Talking nonsense like this in front of these two innocent girls made him feel like he had committed some deep sin.
"Are you talking about Saint Spirit Douluo?" Ye Xing Lan suddenly spoke up. "Recently, I've been feeling like something's off when she talks."
"Yeah, I feel the same way," Yuan En Ye Hui nodded quickly.
"She's definitely one of the best at being the person you're talking about," Xia Yi chuckled.
After all, he had personally experienced Yali's skills in this area.
Yuan En Ye Hui and Ye Xing Lan, these innocent girls, probably wouldn't notice it even if Yali revved up her "car" and ran it all over them.
"Xia Yi, do you and Saint Spirit Douluo have some secret? I can tell she looks uneasy whenever she talks about you," Yuan En Ye Hui suddenly asked in a serious tone.
Since Xia Yi wasn't interested in sightseeing with them, she figured she would try to keep him occupied with some conversation.
"Oh? How uneasy?" Xia Yi asked, interested.
"Every time Saint Spirit Douluo mentions you, both Xing Lan and I feel like she's saying something with hidden meaning. She even blushes and says she's 'full of spirit,'" Yuan En Ye Hui said.
"Full of spirit," Xia Yi smiled. "As long as she's not spiritually scattered, it's fine."
"Yeah, sometimes when Saint Spirit Douluo talks about you, she even grinds her teeth," Ye Xing Lan nodded.
"Xia Yi, do you and Saint Spirit Douluo really have a secret?" Yuan En Ye Hui and Ye Xing Lan seemed genuinely curious now. Though they were trying to keep Xia Yi talking, their eyes were full of growing curiosity.
"There is a secret, but since it's a secret, I don't think I should tell you," Xia Yi said with a melancholic look. After all, he couldn't tell them that after being "violated" by Yali, she had "abandoned" him, could he?
"Oh," Yuan En Ye Hui and Ye Xing Lan were even more curious after seeing Xia Yi's expression.
"Could it be because Saint Spirit Douluo still hasn't given up on taking Xia Yi as her disciple?" Yuan En Ye Hui and Ye Xing Lan thought to themselves.
They knew Yali had always wanted to take Xia Yi as a disciple back when they were at Shrek Academy.
But Xia Yi had rejected her.
Now, Xia Yi was with Leng Yaozhu, so it seemed inappropriate for Yali to take Xia Yi as her disciple.
"Xia Yi, why don't we help you arrange a meeting with Saint Spirit Douluo? You two could go sightseeing together and have a good chat," Ye Xing Lan said seriously.
No matter what the secret between Xia Yi and Yali was, the fact that Yali seemed to "grind her teeth" every time she thought of Xia Yi wasn't a good thing.
They just wanted to help Yali resolve her feelings.
It would only be beneficial for Yali if she could clear up her relationship with Xia Yi.
Shrek Academy was gone, and if Yali kept harboring "resentment" towards Xia Yi, it would only hurt her.
Furthermore, now that Leng Yaozhu was creating her own God Realm, if Yali could settle things with Xia Yi, she might even have a chance to become a god.
Yuan En Ye Hui and Ye Xing Lan had no idea how close Yali and Leng Yaozhu were.
They didn't need to worry about that at all.
Nor did they know why Yali "grinded her teeth" at Xia Yi.
They just noticed Xia Yi was in a good mood today, and remembering how Yali acted when mentioning him, they tried to ease the tension between Xia Yi and Yali.
"This suggestion sounds good. You can talk to Saint Spirit Douluo about it when you go back," Xia Yi laughed heartily.
Yuan En Ye Hui and Ye Xing Lan didn't know the implications of the sightseeing invitation, but he knew that Yali, as the "driver," would definitely understand.
He could already picture Yali's expression when Yuan En Ye Hui and Ye Xing Lan invited her to accompany Xia Yi sightseeing.
"I think your laugh sounds a bit mischievous," Yuan En Ye Hui looked up at Xia Yi and said.
"Just sightseeing, what could be mischievous about it? Saint Spirit Douluo is a Peak Douluo. Even if I have bad intentions, I have no power. As long as she doesn't have bad intentions towards me, I'll be counting my blessings," Xia Yi laughed again.
"True!" Yuan En Ye Hui nodded. Even though Yali was a healing-type soul master, with her peak Douluo strength, it was easy for her to control Xia Yi.
Even if Xia Yi had bad intentions, he didn't have the strength to act on them.
"Alright, as a reward, I'll forge your two-character soul armors. Let's go to another place, I'll forge them for you. I guarantee they'll be the best. Just don't forget, you promised to invite Saint Spirit Douluo to go sightseeing with me," Xia Yi said, in a good mood, leading Yuan En Ye Hui and Ye Xing Lan toward the forge.
