Gu Yue is now somewhat glad that she didn't agree to Di Tian's request to infiltrate Donghai Academy.
After making the bet with Na'er, Di Tian volunteered to infiltrate Donghai Academy for her safety, but she politely declined.
Fortunately, he politely declined; otherwise, if Di Tian had heard the news...
Gu Yue couldn't even imagine how she would face Di Tian as his master in the future.
"You are not allowed to tell anyone else about what happened today!"
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
Frustrated, Gu Yue glared at Su Mo and threatened him fiercely.
"just you?"
Su Mo looked Gu Yue up and down, his eyes full of disdain.
Seeing that Su Mo actually underestimated her, Gu Yue really wanted to break her seal and let Su Mo see what absolute power was.
"Su Mo, I know you have considerable power behind you."
"But do you know who my teacher is?"
Since Di Tian and the others could not be exposed, Gu Yue had no choice but to bring up her master.
"Isn't that Leng Yaozhu, the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda and the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo?"
Before Gu Yue could speak, Su Mo had already spoken for her.
Upon seeing Su Mo reveal her master's name in one sentence, Gu Yue's expression instantly turned serious. "Where did you find out?"
Even within the Spirit Pagoda, only a handful of people knew that Leng Yaozhu was their master.
But now Su Mo said it so casually, which made Gu Yue re-evaluate the power behind Su Mo.
If she could also use the power behind Su Mo, her progress in controlling the entire Spirit Pagoda would be greatly accelerated.
"I remember telling you this the first time we met, didn't I?"
Su Mo feigned surprise.
"When we first met?"
Gu Yue frowned, her brows furrowing into a deep frown, and began to recall the scene of her first meeting with Su Mo, looking as if she were constipated.
"I remember you saying to me back then that you cared about me a lot!"
After a moment, Gu Yue asked uncertainly, "So you started investigating me back then?"
When Su Mo said those words to her, she didn't pay much attention to them and didn't take them to heart.
It wasn't until Su Mo brought it up that Gu Yue remembered this matter.
"Yes!"
Su Mo nodded.
"But what does that have to do with you knowing my teacher's name?"
Gu Yue was still somewhat puzzled.
Su Mo clicked her tongue and said in a flat tone, "It's nothing. I just wanted to remind you that I noticed you a long time ago."
"you……"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue's face darkened, and she looked as if she was about to turn hostile.
Even so, Su Mo showed no sign of compromising and calmly said, "If you really want to know where I got this information, I can tell you."
"But you must understand that there is no such thing as a free lunch."
Gu Yue wasn't stupid. After hearing what Su Mo said, how could she not understand Su Mo's intention?
"So you said that on purpose just now to pique my interest."
"Not bad!"
Seeing that Gu Yue had seen through his intentions, Su Mo readily admitted it.
He said that just now to pique Gu Yue's curiosity, so as to create a false impression for the upcoming negotiations.
"..."
Seeing that Su Mo had taken the initiative to admit it, Gu Yue was at a loss for words.
After a moment of silence, Gu Yue raised her head, her eyes filled with uncertain emotions as she looked at Su Mo and slowly said, "Congratulations, you succeeded."
"Tell me! What do you want from me?"
"It's nothing serious!" Su Mo said with a smile, resting his chin on his hands on the table. "I just want to know why you suddenly distanced yourself from Tang Wulin, Gu Yue."
"Gu Yue, before the end of last semester, you were still Tang Wulin's loyal follower."
"Why has your attitude towards Tang Wulin changed so drastically since the start of this semester?"
"That's it?"
A look of disbelief flashed across Gu Yue's face.
She was mentally prepared for Su Mo to ask for an exorbitant amount, but Su Mo told her that was all.
"Uh-huh!"
Seeing Gu Yue's incredulous expression, Su Mo nodded seriously.
"This question may not be very important to you, Gu Yue, but it is very important to me."
Aren't you afraid I'll lie to you?
"I think that with your character, Gu Yue, you wouldn't do something that would lower yourself to such a degree."
As soon as Su Mo said this, he immediately put Gu Yue up in a slingshot.
Even if you say that, I won't be happy.
Gu Yue grunted and then said reluctantly, "I have a friend who likes Tang Wulin."
"But I think love is an illusion, so I made a bet with her that Tang Wulin would fall in love with me and give her up for me."
"I came to Donghai Academy to find Tang Wulin in order to win the bet."
"Now, I'm no longer interested in this matter, so I've chosen to give up the bet."
Although she didn't recount the entire incident, the details were largely consistent with her description.
"..."
After hearing Gu Yue's story, Su Mo was speechless. "Gu Yue, if you didn't want to tell me, you didn't have to make up such a clumsy lie!"
"Given your status, anyone who can become your friend must be either rich or powerful. Everyone knows what kind of situation Tang Wulin's family is in."
Do you think these two types of people could possibly have anything in common?
Tang Wulin was the most adept at playing the victim in Class Zero, and everyone in Class Zero knew about his family situation.
Seeing that Su Mo looked like she was kidding her, Gu Yue got a little impatient. "My friend was lost when he was a child and was adopted by Tang Wulin's family. Later, his family found him and took him back, which is why he fell in love with Tang Wulin."
Upon hearing this, Su Mo immediately understood that Gu Yue was referring to her experience at Tang Wulin's house under the alias "Na'er".
Even if what Gu Yue said is true, I still have to pretend that I don't believe it.
Su Mo rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Even if what you said is true."
"So, Gu Yue, you mean your friend likes Tang Wulin, but instead of contacting him, she even made a bet with you that Tang Wulin won't fall for someone else?"
"If what you're saying is true, then I'll say that Tang Wulin is actually the son of the Sea God."
Gu Yue's face darkened instantly, and she nearly broke the spoon in her hand. "What do you mean by that!"
"It doesn't mean anything. I just think your reason is a bit outrageous and has no logic at all. It's not as convincing as my made-up story, 'Tang Wulin is the son of the Sea God.'"
Gu Yue was so angry at Su Mo that she laughed. She gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, then tell me why Tang Wulin is the son of the Sea God."
“Look, Tang Wulin’s surname is Tang, and so is the Sea God’s surname. The Sea God’s martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, and Tang Wulin’s Blue Silver Grass is also Blue Silver Grass.”
"Furthermore, Tang Wulin also has an inexplicable sense of closeness to the Sea God and his wife!"
"I don't think there's much of a problem with me saying that Tang Wulin is the son of the Sea God!"
Gu Yue said with a forced smile, "Nonsense!"
Su Mo retorted, not to be outdone, "Even if it's utter nonsense, it's still more logical than the story you made up!"
Chapter 84 The Xu Family's Invitation
"you……"
Gu Yue's chest heaved with anger at Su Mo's words, and her knuckles turned white as she clenched her fists under the table.
However, despite her anger, Gu Yue knew that there were significant flaws in her explanation.
But she couldn't possibly tell Su Mo the whole story.
The fact that I was able to tell Su Mo all this was already because she was in a good mood just now.
Seeing that Gu Yue remained silent, Su Mo assumed that Gu Yue was feeling guilty and quickly pressed his advantage.
"See? Even you know that this reason is completely illogical."
"Otherwise, you would have jumped out to refute it long ago."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Su Mo, Gu Yue was too lazy to waste any more words. She crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "Believe it or not, that's the truth."
"Since Gu Yue is unwilling to tell me, I will not force her."
After Su Mo finished speaking, he pushed his chair back, stood up, and strode outside.
It wasn't until Su Mo's figure stepped out of the store and disappeared into the crowd that Gu Yue belatedly realized that she seemed to have been taken advantage of by Su Mo.
"asshole……"
Gu Yue gritted her teeth and said angrily.
However, Gu Yue did not get up to chase after Su Mo, since Su Mo was in Donghai Academy and couldn't escape anyway.
Instead of turning her grief into appetite, Gu Yue immediately took out her soul communication device and ordered a large amount of desserts.
