The next morning.
"Phew."
"It seems that with higher cultivation, the speed of refining Immortal Herbs also increases."
"Last night, I refined three Immortal Herbs, and now I'm already at the third level of Orange Profound Realm."
Waking up from the state of refining Immortal Herbs, Shen Fan got up, washed up, and thought to himself.
"Fan, are you up?"
At this moment, Dugu Yan came to Shen Fan's door and knocked.
"I'm up."
Hearing Dugu Yan's voice, Shen Fan's eyes lit up. He quickly opened the door, pulled Dugu Yan into the room, closed the door, and immediately cornered her against the wall.
"Alright, alright."
"Let's go out quickly."
After being pinned against the wall for more than ten minutes, the breathless Dugu Yan kept hitting Shen Fan's back with her small fists.
"Are they all up?"
Shen Fan released the panting Dugu Yan and asked.
"They're all up."
"Everyone from Royal Heaven Dou Academy, except for Yu Tianheng, has already left."
Dugu Yan took several deep breaths before her lightheadedness from lack of oxygen finally cleared.
"Why are they all up so early?"
Shen Fan put his arm around Dugu Yan, his hand reaching a desired spot at a tricky angle.
"It's not early, is it?"
"Royal Heaven Dou Academy has already started classes by this time."
Dugu Yan pressed down on Shen Fan's wandering hand, her face flushed with embarrassment.
"Meng Shenji's face must have been very dark when he heard about your and Ye Lingling's withdrawal?"
The two contended for a few seconds, with Shen Fan ultimately winning, and with a victorious smile, Shen Fan brought up the main topic.
"More than just a dark face."
"He almost started a fight."
Dugu Yan closed her eyes, her voice slightly unusual.
"I can understand."
"With two main players suddenly leaving the first team, it would be strange if Meng Shenji didn't get angry."
"Oh, right."
"What's going on with Yu Tianheng?"
"He's not leaving with the Royal Fighting Team; is he planning to stay at Shrek Academy too?"
Shen Fan only just remembered Yu Tianheng.
"Yes."
"He also decided to stay at Shrek Academy."
Dugu Yan grabbed Shen Fan's arm tightly, her breathing somewhat unsteady.
"He's not still trying to win you back, is he?"
As Shen Fan spoke, he sped up the movement of his hand.
However, this time Dugu Yan didn't answer, but instead, with an indescribable groan, she directly rolled her eyes.
"You go out first."
"I need to tidy up."
After a long while, Dugu Yan, who had finally recovered, pushed Shen Fan away and ran towards the changing room.
"Yan Yan."
Seeing this, Shen Fan grinned slyly, called out to Dugu Yan just as she reached the changing room door, and then, under Dugu Yan's angry gaze, he gulped down the juice Dugu Yan had left on his hand.
"Scram."
The next second, the exasperated Dugu Yan slammed the changing room door shut.
Half an hour later.
"Why are you two coming out so late?"
Outside the door, Yu Tianheng looked at Shen Fan and Dugu Yan, who were laughing and walking out together, his face gloomy, and said coldly.
"What's the hurry?"
"Isn't there still a few minutes until the agreed-upon meeting time?"
After speaking, Dugu Yan ignored Yu Tianheng, hooked her arm through Shen Fan's, and walked towards Ye Lingling nearby.
"Here."
"This is the breakfast I prepared for you two."
On the other side, Ye Lingling handed two bags of food to Dugu Yan and Shen Fan.
"You truly are my best friend."
"You knew Shen Fan and I hadn't eaten breakfast, and you still remembered to bring us two portions."
Dugu Yan took the breakfast bags, gave one to Shen Fan, and then praised Ye Lingling profusely.
"Come here for a moment."
Ye Lingling said with a strange expression.
"What's wrong?"
Dugu Yan followed Ye Lingling to the side.
"Did you two... do something?"
Ye Lingling glanced at Shen Fan nearby and asked in a low voice.
"N-no."
Dugu Yan was startled, her face, which had just returned to normal, became a little unnatural again.
"Hehe."
"Just now you were praising me so much, saying I was your best friend."
"Now you have your own little secret."
After speaking, Ye Lingling made to leave.
"No, no, no."
"I was wrong, okay?"
"I did have something happen with him."
"But how did you know?"
Dugu Yan quickly pulled Ye Lingling back and comforted her for a while, then asked the doubt in her heart.
"You changed your clothes."
Ye Lingling said exasperatedly.
"Uh."
Hearing this, Dugu Yan slapped her forehead in annoyance. She had thought of everything to prevent others from discovering her impropriety, but she had made a mistake in the most important place.
And just as Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were talking, Zhao Wuji entered the hotel lobby and shouted, "Gather up!"
"Diary System."
"Start the live broadcast."
Seeing this, Shen Fan walked towards Zhao Wuji while speaking in his mind.
"The live broadcast has been opened."
The Diary System opened the live broadcast immediately.
"Dugu Yan."
"I just realized now."
"Why did you go to Shen Fan's room and even change your clothes?"
At this moment, Yu Tianheng's voice suddenly rang out.
"Is it any of your business?"
Dugu Yan's face darkened.
"I'm your boyfriend, do you think it's my business?"
Yu Tianheng's face was even darker than Dugu Yan's.
"Are you out of your mind?"
"I told you yesterday that we've already broken up. I'm Shen Fan's girlfriend now."
Dugu Yan was genuinely a little angry.
"Yu Tianheng."
"I told you, if you have something to say, you can tell me."
"Don't bother Yan Yan."
"Are you incapable of understanding human speech?"
Seeing that Yu Tianheng was relentless, Shen Fan stood in front of Dugu Yan, his tone completely cold.
"Just because I spoke up for Tang San yesterday, you want to break up with me?"
Yu Tianheng ignored Shen Fan, who was blocking Dugu Yan, took a few steps to the side, and continued to look at Dugu Yan as he spoke.
He had thought all night yesterday and finally understood where he had gone wrong.
"Bang."
Just as Shen Fan was about to teach Yu Tianheng a lesson, Liu Erlong appeared behind Yu Tianheng and kicked him away.
"Tianheng."
"It seems that what I told you last night went completely in one ear and out the other, didn't it?"
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang also arrived in the hotel lobby in a wheelchair, with Flender's help.
"Uncle, I..."
Yu Tianheng got up from the ground, wanting to speak but hesitating.
After all, he was her nephew, so Liu Erlong hadn't used too much force. Yu Tianheng was only in some pain and had no other injuries.
"Since Dugu Yan has already made her choice, don't bother her anymore."
"I'll say this one last time."
"If you still don't listen this time, I'll pretend I don't have a nephew like you."
Yu Xiaogang waved his hand.
Selfish as he was, he only did things that benefited himself, caring little for anything else.
