Ning Tian has been very distressed lately.
She thought that being with Ao Yao day and night would allow her name to appear in the diary book more often, but it turned out Ao Yao mentioned other people's names even more.
Yesterday, she finally managed to get her name mentioned a few times, but then she ran into that person called Ma Xiaotao while eating at the cafeteria, which made her lose another opportunity.
To avoid seeing others who also possessed a diary instance in the cafeteria, Ning Tian decided... to eat out.
Thinking of this, Ning Tian took a deep breath, a flawless smile appearing on her face: "I'm tired of eating at the cafeteria all the time, why don't we eat out today? I happen to want to go to Shrek City to buy some things."
Wu Feng glanced at Ning Tian and didn't voice any opinion.
In her heart, Ning Tian's words were above all else. Since it was Ning Tian's suggestion, she naturally would not object.
And Ao Yao would not refuse either.
Since Ning Tian was the one paying, where they ate... he'd just let Ning Tian decide.
Seeing that neither of them had any objections, the smile on Ning Tian's face deepened slightly.
Unfortunately... her plans could never keep up with changes.
[Little Huo's Grilled Fish?]
[Hiss... right, right, I almost forgot about this! There's still this part of the story!]
Under Ao Yao's "reminder," Ning Tian and Wu Feng couldn't help but look toward the long queue at the gate of Shrek Academy.
A large number of vendors gathered at the gate of Shrek Academy, bustling with people, and many Shrek Academy students stopped to buy things. But only that stall had the longest queue, and most of them were Shrek students.
This immediately piqued the curiosity of Ning Tian and Wu Feng.
The owner of that stall was naturally Huo Yuhao, who was working part-time to fund his studies.
With the help of Tang Ya, who had tasted Huo Yuhao's grilled fish skills, Little Huo's Grilled Fish had started up and quickly became famous within a few days, finally securing his food and living expenses.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but cast a grateful look at Tang Ya nearby.
It was Sister Xiao Ya who helped him deal with the cafeteria lady and provided the ingredients, and it was also Sister Xiao Ya who found such a prime golden location for him.
If it weren't for Sister Xiao Ya, his meager savings would have been insufficient to maintain a normal life.
Other than his mother, Sister Xiao Ya was the first person to treat him so well... He must repay Sister Xiao Ya and help her lead the Tang Sect back to its Peak!
Huo Yuhao believed he had the ability.
As long as he could awaken his second spirit with the help of Brother Tianmeng, he would surely become a powerhouse in the future, then restore the glory of the Tang Sect and repay Sister Xiao Ya's kindness!
"Sister Xiao Ya..."
Huo Yuhao was just about to say a few words to show his loyalty when he saw Tang Ya dash away.
"Yu Hao, remember to save two grilled fish for me! I'm leaving for a bit!"
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao was slightly stunned, but he didn't say anything and instead began his hard work.
The reason Tang Ya ran off in a hurry was naturally because she saw Ao Yao in the crowd.
Ever since she followed the advice in the diary book, changed the target of her third spirit ring, and obtained a spirit ring with the Life Attribute, her desire to devour all living things for Cultivate was immediately suppressed.
Moreover, her recent cultivation seemed to have become increasingly smooth.
This made Tang Ya firmly believe that Ao Yao was right.
That so-called title of Grandmaster for Ancestor Yu Xiaogang was indeed fake!
A mere fame-seeker!
If Ancestor Tang San himself hadn't been so capable, this Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang would have probably misled his students!
It was precisely because of this that she wanted to get closer to Ao Yao even more, to obtain more rewards and benefits.
But halfway there, she thought of the punishment if Ao Yao discovered anything was amiss, and she also thought of Bei Bei.
If not for that punishment, wanting her name to appear more often in the diary book would inevitably require a closer relationship with Ao Yao. If Bei Bei saw her being so close to another man, he would surely be very uncomfortable, right?
Tang Ya's footsteps paused slightly, and a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes.
But soon, the little devil in her heart popped up, whispering in her mind.
Bei Bei even hid the fact that he had a child bride from her... The Inner Court's Eldest Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan had appeared before her and Bei Bei many times, yet Bei Bei never told her about his relationship with the Eldest Senior Sister. Wasn't that also a form of betrayal?
Since Bei Bei hadn't told her such an important thing, then her having closer contact with Ao Yao...
Shouldn't be a big deal, right?
As long as she didn't let Bei Bei know.
Yes, that's it.
This way, they could be considered even!
She just wanted to have more contact with Ao Yao to get some rewards so she could enter the Inner Court. Only by entering the Inner Court could she be with Bei Bei for a longer time.
That's right.
She just wanted to be with Bei Bei for longer.
Tang Ya finally persuaded herself in her mind.
The problem now was how she would handle the boundaries—a boundary that would allow her name to appear in the diary book without being discovered by Ao Yao.
While Tang Ya was conflicted, a figure walked out of Shrek Academy, surrounded by people.
And this beautiful figure also attracted the attention of the vast majority of students.
She looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, with a slender and well-proportioned figure. Her long golden hair fell in waves behind her back. Her skin was as white as snow, and her eyes were like clear spring water. With every glance, she possessed an elegant and refined temperament, her face like jade. In her soft and graceful manner, she was breathtakingly beautiful, her world-toppling beauty seemingly causing all surrounding colors to fade.
The owner of this figure was none other than Jiang Nannan, who was known as the number one beauty of the Outer Court!
[This figure... this look, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be Jiang Nannan, right?]
[Tsk, she really is quite good-looking, but unfortunately, she's also just an background character.]
Looking at the contents of the diary book, Jiang Nannan's footsteps paused slightly. Her peripheral vision swept around, and she immediately locked onto Ao Yao's figure in the crowd.
Ao Yao's looks were simply too prominent in a crowd; it was almost impossible for Jiang Nannan not to notice him.
Plus, since Ao Yao himself had mentioned his own looks in the diary book, Jiang Nannan was able to quickly lock onto him.
Regarding that mysterious diary book that appeared in her mind, Jiang Nannan had actually always been skeptical.
Although the diary book had already shown its miraculous nature, since it hadn't truly happened to her, it was still hard for Jiang Nannan to believe it one hundred percent.
Now... perhaps it was a good time for her to verify it.
Only, Ao Yao said she was an background character... what did that mean?
A hint of confusion appeared in Jiang Nannan's eyes.
