"Baby, your big brother might become someone who needs a little bit of beating recently. So, If you see me at school, just ignore me. I’ll come back to you again after a while."
This person likes to change his nicknames every few days.
Amalia stares at the word "baby" at the beginning and thinks there might be a misunderstanding.
The past him was more than just enough of a beating, not just recently.
She repeatedly reads this message and has to admit that her worried heart has finally settled.
It’s good that he was fine.
Amalia puts away the communicator and enters Master Dugu’s residence.
"Here we come." Master Dugu sends off a guest and sees Amalia when she comes out.
Because of the dispersing bone fragrance, she has a deep impression of Amalia and she happens to want to talk to her about something, so she invites her into the room.
Amalia stands by the bed and takes off his shirt, accidentally revealing her body that covered in bruises.
Master Dugu took a breath, she said: "What happened to these injuries? Did someone bully you at Heavenly Path University?"
She has a good impression of Amalia. This young girl spent fifty million without blinking an eye when she came to her. She doesn’t look like someone who would be bullied badly.
"No," Amalia explains briefly that it’s for cultivation.
"Young people, indeed young people, being so tough on yourself at such a young age." Master Dugu shakes her head.
Although she says so, she can’t help but to admire her strong determination.
Master Dugu did consider helping her heal these bruises, but she needs more energy for her treatment later, so she dismisses the idea, "By the way, the mastermind behind you being affected by the dispersing bone fragrance is that guy from the Yoder family branch. He might be released in a while."
"Thanks for the reminder, Master Dugu," Amalia responds calmly.
This matter was already within her expectations.
Master Dugu nods gently as she observes Amalia’s calm demeanor.
Her temperament is not bad. If this young girl weren’t an artificer, she would consider taking her as her apprentice.
With her water-type spiritual vein, her early-stage power might not be apparent, but her later stage power would be not inferior to a wood-type spiritual vein.
In an hour later, Master Dugu felt somewhat weak as she sat down.
A thin layer of sweat covered began to her forehead.
Treating the body was different from treating the arms; with numerous organs, she could only do a third at a time.
The rest would have to wait for another ten days.
Amalia then thanked Master Dugu and returned to school.
Upon getting out of the car, she thought she had entered the wrong gate.
The entrance was crowded with male and female students, congesting the gate so much that it was impassable.
When she saw the sign beside the gate, she was confirmed that she hadn’t gone to the wrong gate.
However, for a second she could feel a sudden chill running past her.
Her pupils contracted suddenly as she stared at the white figure that was walking ahead of her.
She was certain that before that person approached her, she hadn’t sensed any presence.
"Ah, ah, ah, look at me, my idol!" shouted a female student sharply while waving her hand.
"My idol, I love you!" The person who shouted this fled immediately, either afraid of getting beaten up or feeling embarrassed.
"It’s been so long, my idol is as divine as ever, he was full of immortal aura!"
As the white figure approached the gate, the noisy confessions gradually quietened down.
The school gate filled with people yet it was eerily silent, and formed a stark and eerie contrast to the day when Zanilia Zhao returned.
Among the crowd, Amalia watched that figure, which appeared godlike to his infatuated fans and stood out prominently until his figure disappeared in front of her eyes.
It was as if his scent lingered in the air.
Several people sniffed the air vigorously as if they had joined a cult, as if inhaling more immortal aura from Kenny Lin, it would also make them immortal.
Some even claimed to have inhaled the air under the same sky as their idol.
Amalia: "..."
A moment later, she found herself alone at the gate.
Despite changing his clothes, Amalia recognized him at first sight—the man who had suddenly switched from black attire to white was Kenny Lin.
Involuntarily, she recalled the message she had received from Kenny Lin before going to see Master Dugu.
What did he really mean?
Just now, she didn’t believe that Kenny Lin hadn’t seen or recognized her.
Was he afraid of causing public resentment among the students and intentionally avoiding acknowledging her?
Filled with doubts, Amalia walked into the school and determined to find him tonight and clarify things.
She also wanted to thank him for the last gift he had sent to her.
As long as they weren’t seen by anyone, they could talk privately; that should be possible.
With this thought in her mind, that night, Amalia brought freshly roasted spiritual meat to find Kenny Lin.
The villa was brightly lit, and she chose a time when no one paid attention to enter the villa.
As soon as she turned around, she met a pair of emotionless ink-black eyes.
"How did you get in, and why can you freely enter and exit my villa?" Kenny Lin’s face was expressionless.
His gaze was sharp as a blade and filled with disbelief and questioning.
Amalia was taken aback; she had never seen Kenny Lin like this before.
Unable to hide her confusion, she responded, "It was set up by you to allow me to come and go freely. Have you forgotten?"
Kenny Lin stared at the face that appeared in his mind and proving that they indeed knew each other.
It seems their relationship was not ordinary.
He knew himself well enough, that he would not allow strangers to enter his private territory casually, but he couldn’t recall anything related to this person.
"Have you eaten? This is roasted meat made from the spiritual meat you sent me last time. Would you like to try it?" Amalia said while taking it out, and the aroma of the grilled meat immediately filled the air.
Kenny Lin glanced at the supposedly gifted roasted meat, and his icy gaze returned to his face, "No, do you have something else to discuss?"
When he didn’t speak, at first glance, he still looked like someone who emitted an immortal aura.
Even under the bright lights, he remained the most dazzling one.
One had to admit that after changing into white attire, his entire demeanor was completely different.
It was like a whole new person, he became a radiant handsome man that full of immortal aura.
It’s truly a novel experience.
"This is the first time I’ve made food for you. Are you sure you don’t want to try it?" If it were the previous Kenny Lin in black attire, he would have shamelessly taken it, without any politeness.
Kenny Lin wanted to say no right away, but there was a strange sense of resistance preventing him from uttering the words.
This unusual feeling had never occurred before, so he remained silent.
The more he stayed silent, the more difficult he seemed, and making him look cold and indifferent.
"There’s another thing. I won’t be practicing frequently lately, so I won’t need your help suppressing the dispersing bone fragrance for now. I went to Master Dugu today, and he also told me some news. Yannis Yoder should be released soon and might come to bother me. But, you don’t need to worry about it."
Kenny Lin watched Amalia open and close her mouth, his expressionless handsome face seemed to have all his five senses taken away, leaving only a cold and icy aura.
She didn’t know what was going through his mind.
"That’s all there is. In order to avoid being discovered while we interact, I’ll take my leave." After Amalia finished her speaking, she turned around quickly.
Just before exiting, she suddenly remembered something, she continued: "One more thing, I saw the message you sent me this morning. I’ll pretend not to know you outside. Remember to eat the roasted meat while it’s hot; don’t waste my craftsmanship."
After watching Amalia leave back and closing the door, Kenny Lin stood silently for a moment.
He opened the communicator and found the message that Amalia mentioned.
The words "baby" at the beginning deepened his gaze.
Baby? Was that girl is his girlfriend?
It seemed their relationship was quite intimate.
Kenny Lin glanced at the grilled meat on the table but ultimately chose not to eat it.
He then went through all the messages in his communicator.
When he finds a message that contains a girlfriend and boyfriend’s words, he can finally confirm the nature of the relationship between this girl and him.
Amalia’s calm and composed demeanor disappeared the moment she left the villa.
