Chapter 723 Chapter 723: Fatal Promise!
?”Xiao Bai, this joke is not even funny. How could I try to woo another woman when I already have you?!” Elder Yang muttered to Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy in an annoyed tone.
Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy felt embarrassed after she heard Elder Yang’s words, so she decided to tell what just happened when Elder Yang and Gu Shengxin attended the meeting in the main hall before.
Elder Yang’s annoyance was instantly gone after he heard the perfect copy’s story, and he laughed at her instead.
Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy puckered her lips and pouted when Elder Yang was laughing at her.
“That Ling Shuang is really annoying. She keeps sticking to me like glue in front of Zhu Yan! I cannot even have a nice chat with Zhu Yan because of her!” Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy complained again.
Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy grabbed Elder Yang’s arm and shook it while acting coquettishly at him: “Xiao Hei, you will help me, right? I really cannot stand it when that woman sticks so close to me!”
“All right, I get it. I will definitely do something to help you, so you do not need to worry about that woman anymore.” Elder Yang held the perfect copy’s soft smooth hand and said in a reassured tone to her.
The perfect copy’s eyes immediately shone brighter in excitement as she asked: “Yay~! So, you agree to woo that woman for me, right?! Xiao Hei, you are really the best person to me~!”
Elder Yang’s smiling expression instantly changed to dark again as he replied: “No, I will never ever do that! Why do you always want to push me to that woman?! You should know that there are still many ways to push that woman out of here without any need for me to woo her!”
Then the perfect copy realized that Elder Yang was a person with great authority, so he could just order Ling Shuang to do something that made her too busy to even bother Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy and Zhu Yan later.
Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy secretly admired Elder Yang’s sincerity very much when Elder Yang rejected their wishes to woo Ling Shuang.
Both of them thought that Elder Yang was truly a faithful person.
Unfortunately, both Tang Li Xue and Elder Yang would never thought that this faithfulness or sincerity matter would become a quite huge problem for them really soon.
…..
The real Tang Li Xue was still practicing both [Essence Devouring Technique] and [Energy Manipulation] simultaneously.
Her proficiency when using both of them simultaneously had increased quite a lot compared to before.
After doing many experiments many times last night, Tang Li Xue could even use [Essence Devouring Technique] and [Energy Manipulation] plus [Art of Concealment] simultaneously right now!
When she was using the three of them simultaneously, no one could track or detect who was the one using them!
It was like the surrounding spiritual energy vanished out of thin air like a passing-by ghost.
Tang Li Xue felt more and more excited when she thought that she could combine four techniques… or rather three techniques plus one divine ability into one: [Essence Devouring Technique], [Energy Manipulation], [Art of Concealment], and [Yin and Yang Chaotic Formula].
Even though it was theoretically easy to do, but it was actually impossible for any creature other than Tang Li Xue to do it.
Because the key for this combination was actually her [Energy Manipulation]!
Yes, her [Energy Manipulation] was the one who solved everything from the conflict between energy to the compatibility problem between techniques.
The only problem Tang Li Xue needed to face was the multi-tasking problem…
“Sigh… In the end, it is still about multi-tasking problems again… It seems I have to look for a suitable divine ability to solve this problem.” Tang Li Xue muttered in a frustrated tone.
Previously, Tang Li Xue had already faced this multi-tasking problem when she tried to practice the Profound Law of Heat and Cold from [Yin and Yang Chaotic Formula], but she managed to solve it by using her perfect copy’s mind to assist her.
But if she wanted to wield [Essence Devouring Technique], [Energy Manipulation], [Art of Concealment], and [Yin and Yang Chaotic Formula] at once freely, she clearly needed more than just two minds… maybe at least five or six minds.
Tang Li Xue decided to end her training session when Instructor Mei Lan knocked on the door of her room.
Tang Li Xue stood up from her bed and opened the door, then asked Instructor Mei Lan: “Instructor Lan?”
“Little Xue, come me to my room now. There is something I need to talk to you.” Instructor Mei Lan muttered to Tang Li Xue as she led Tang Li Xue into her room.
Tang Li Xue sighed as she thought that Instructor Mei Lan might scold her about Elder Yang’s problem, but she still followed to Instructor Mei Lan’s room.
Both of them sat on the chair at the center of the room, while Instructor Mei Lan poured the tea from teapot to their teacup.
“I know you are quite close to that human boy, but why have you never told us about him?”
“You should know that human boy already recognized us because he had met all of us in our previous mission in Tang Feng City, right?”
“If that human boy has any bad intentions and secretly carries out an ambush plan to catch all of us, he would have already succeeded because you hid the information about him from us!”
“Do you know your action just put all of our lives in that human boy’s hands?!”
“Do you believe in him so much more than me, Bingbing, and Silly Fox that you have a heart to put all of our lives in that human boy’s hands?!”
Instructor Mei Lan scolded Tang Li Xue mercilessly in a cold tone.
Tang Li Xue felt extremely guilty after she heard Instructor Mei Lan’s words, but she could not give any excuse for it.
Every Instructor Mei Lan’s words were right…
Her actions actually put the lives of their team in Elder Yang’s hands…
But it was all because she really trusted that her Xiao Hei would never do something to hurt her and her friends…
“Little Xue, I really do not know anymore if I can trust you again or not… Maybe I should just transfer you to another team after we get back to Myriad Foxes Academy later.” Instructor Mei Lan murmured in great disappointment.
These words were extremely lethal for Tang Li Xue!
Tang Li Xue’s heart almost jumped out of her chest when she heard these words from Instructor Mei Lan!
“No, Instructor Lan! Please forgive me! I… I will never do it again! So, please… do not transfer me to another team!” Tang Li Xue begged Instructor Mei Lan with a pair of teary eyes.
Of course, this was only Instructor Mei Lan’s bluff…
If she really transferred Tang Li Xue to another team, both Bingbing and Silly Fox would definitely choose to transfer to that team too without any hesitation!
But Tang Li Xue was too panicked after she heard Instructor Mei Lan’s words, so she did not realize that she had slowly fallen into Instructor Mei Lan’s trap.
Instructor Mei Lan deliberately showed a hesitant expression while saying: “Little Xue, you should know that I have full responsibility for my student’s safety as a teacher. If you keep doing this, something bad will be bound to happen sooner or later. I would like to forgive you, but I cannot gamble with the lives of all my students for your sake.”
Tang Li Xue hastily explained: “Instructor Lan, I never told you about Xiao He… about Elder Yang because I believe he is a faithful and sincere person, so he would never do something despicable to harm us.”
Instructor Mei Lan shook her head and said: “He might not have any intention to hurt us, but who knows if he unintentionally leaked our information to other people and put our lives in danger because of it?”
“No way, I dare to guarantee that he will never do that. Instructor Lan, you do not need to worry too much. I promise he will not do anything to put our lives in danger.” Tang Li Xue tried to reassure Instructor Mei Lan.
Instructor Mei Lan squinted her eyes and asked: “Really? Do you dare to guarantee that it will never happen?! What if something bad happens to us because of him?!”
“Then I will completely cut off my relationship with him, and I will never meet, talk, or trust him anymore.” Tang Li Xue promised to Instructor Mei Lan.
“Okay~! You have to remember your current promise, or I will immediately transfer you to another team next time! Do you understand?!” Instructor Mei Lan warned Tang Li Xue with a firm tone.
Yes, this promise was what Instructor Mei Lan aimed to get from the start…
Tang Li Xue felt really glad and relieved after she heard Instructor Mei Lan’s words.
She hastily nodded her head to Instructor Mei Lan and replied seriously: “I understand, Instructor Lan~!”
Instructor Mei Lan kicked Tang Li Xue out of her room after that, so Tang Li Xue went back to her room and brought Little Loki and Yaya to eat their dinner in the first floor restaurant.
Meanwhile, Instructor Mei Lan took out an engagement invitation card from her space pouch while muttering: “Little Xue, I hope you can really keep your promise to me later.”
