"What the heck??" Before I could even react, two magic bullets with blue lightning grazed past my temples, piercing through the thick trunks behind me like big thighs. I immediately broke into a cold sweat. No matter how many times I've experienced this, I can never remain calm. Why? Because I've really been through it so many times!

"Darn it, Feiyang, how dare you play with your life like this," she said, her words cut short as a perfect and beautiful kick sent me spinning and kissing the ground. Faintly, I heard her add, "You're not the only one troubled by this."

That voice... it's Qiong! And there seems to be some hidden meaning in her words!

That kick was really powerful... just how much resentment does Qiong hold against me?

"Ouch... Qiong, could it be that what you just said was a sign of concern for me?"

"Concern for you? Who's so bored that they would show concern for a mere animal like you?"

"Animal? But..."

Three gunshots rang out from the barrel of the gun, right next to my ears! My eardrums! No one could stand being shot so close to the ears. I was horrified!

Xiao Qiong, blushing (??), held a silver and white double-barreled gun named "Thunderclap" in her hands. It was named after the thunderous sound it made when fired.

Not sure if she was angry or what, but her face was red. It felt different from her usual ferocious anger. Could this be what they call "moe"? Indeed...

"Bang!" Another gunshot.

"Sister, stop it. Xiaoyang just recovered from his injuries." Injured? Was I injured? I didn't even know. Xiaoyao, panting, ran over, clearly chasing after her sister.

Yaosheng naturally used the calming magic "Heart Soothing" - a low-level light magic that soothes inner fears and anxieties. Since Ya is not Holy-type, it doesn't have as strong an effect as Wenxin's, but it was still enough to calm my cold sweat.

"Xiaoyang, are you alright? Did you get hit by the lightning? Maybe you got burned?"

"I'm fine, I'm not going to die. Don't worry!" I gave Ya a reassuring smile.

"Xiuyang, let go of my sister," Qiong stepped forward, pulling me by the collar of my shirt. Our faces were so close, and our lips were almost touching my cheeks. Qiong, what does she want to do? Kick me or throw me? It's going to hurt either way, definitely, without a doubt. But just as our lips were less than a centimeter apart, she stopped.

There was a faint fragrance emanating from Qiong, causing my heart to race. I've never been this close to her before. Every time we interacted, it was always fighting and scolding, without exception. So, instinctively, I moved away from Qiong. The feeling she gave me was "get close and die!" But today, she took the initiative.

Qiong leaned forward slightly and whispered in my ear, "Take care of yourself. Don't play the hero anymore. Your life is not just your own. Think about Wenxin, think about Uncle Lin and Auntie Lin, who raised you for ten years. And there are some people... some people's fate and life are already connected to yours."

"Uh... I understand the first part, that my life is related to my sister and my foster parents. But what do you mean by fate and life being already connected to mine? Who is connected to me?" In this world, anything is possible, and these words have two interpretations. The first is an emotional connection, such as friendship, family, or love - a spiritual connection. Since Qiong mentioned my family from the beginning, it must be the second interpretation: a soul connection. If one dies, the other cannot live long. If someone is connected to my soul, that's a really big deal. Even though Qiong's scent is tempting, it doesn't matter anymore in the face of life or death. If my soul is connected to someone else and I don't even know who it is, if I die, I'll harm them too. And if something happens to them, I'll be affected too!

"You don't need to worry about who it is, just be careful because it's definitely you who needs to be careful. You're the weakest one, others can at least save themselves, but what about you? How will you save yourself? You're the most defenseless in danger. Just remember, your life is not yours alone. Think carefully before you act, got it?"

"Qiong! That person..." I said in a serious tone, "Is that person you?"

"Nonsense!" Qiong suddenly became agitated. As she turned her head, her lips unexpectedly kissed my cheek!

"Sister! You... you and Xiaoyang...!" Ya, who was standing beside us, witnessed everything, except she couldn't hear our conversation."No, no, no. It's not like that. Your sister and I, we're not anything. We don't even seem like friends!"

"Sister, we actually... actually kissed..."

"Hey, hey, are you even listening?"

"...actually... actually..." It seems like Yao is confused.

"Hey, Qiong, look at your sister!" Erm... Qiong tightly grips Lei Ming with her right hand, her nails turning white. Her expression is terrifying!

"You jerk!" She raises her gun, aiming and shooting directly.

Activate the wind acceleration and immediately escape...

"Hi... Hi..." Acceleration is so tiring! Luckily, we escaped. But I really care about what Qiong said, who is it that's connected to my soul?

Hmm?

There are a lot of people gathered in front of me. That place belongs to the News Department, which is the school newspaper. How strange to see so many people!

At this moment, Qin Yin finally manages to squeeze out of the crowd.

"Ying, what's going on? So many people."

"Ah! They've taken Novice to the teacher."

"Just came back, almost died!"

"Died?"

"Ahaha! It's fine, just tell me what's happening there."

"Well! 'The Search for the Unmarried Fiancé of the First Knight' - two days ago, which was the day after you guys came back, the News Department published an interview with Zhan Lan Tian. If it was just a simple interview, it wouldn't be a big deal, but the focus is on you guys."

"Us? And what 'Search for the Unmarried Fiancé of the First Knight'?"

"You know better than me about that mission. Why are you asking me? Anyway, the News Department photographed a white-haired male student wearing our school uniform, using the 'Demon Fire' of the Four God Fires, and even when he kissed the principals of both schools, he managed to escape from Hanya's school. His level is definitely at the Sub-Saint stage! And Hanya came forward to admit that he is her future husband. The only people who went were the three members of the Student Union and the News Department. Since the News Department doesn't know who it is, it means it wasn't from the News Department. So, it must be that white-haired...?" Qin Yin looks at me strangely.

"Hehe, I'm just a low-ranking student, how is it possible? Besides, I've never dyed my hair!"

"I knew it!"

"Huh~ I have no memory of any of this."

Speaking of the fiancé, before I fainted, I kissed the president, and she actually said I was her fiancé. Although we've known each other since childhood (it will be revealed in the third volume), it's not something that really happened! I can only gather my courage and ask the president about it!

"Hehe! If we don't leave now, we'll be late!"

"Ah!"

Today, perhaps it's another unusual day...
