Yu Qing Qian looked at Huo Li Ruo who jumped down from the tree and guessed that this man, like Feng Chen, must have a secret method of concealing his aura or figure.
Huo Li Ruo and Feng Chen were both the most high-profile genius Spiritual Plant Masters in the Royal Academy. Their backgrounds had long been dug out. Both of them were princes from two of the five most powerful empires in the Central Continent.
Although Huo Li Ruo didn’t have Feng Chen’s current achievements as a three-class Spiritual Plant Master, but his talent and strength were valued and trained by the Academy’s superiors.
Be it his identity, background, or talent, potential, and strength, he could be regarded as a leader among the freshmen this session.
“Your abilities are so amazing.” Huo Li Ruo walked casually in front of Yu Qing Qian with a half-smile on his devilishly handsome face and asked in a whisper: “Did you hide your true physical fitness and mental energy level when they tested your talent?”
He absolutely didn’t believe that this woman’s physical fitness was just up to standard. Even if it could be improved afterwards, it definitely wouldn’t have improved so much from the beginning of school to now.
Moreover, this woman was able to detect where he was hiding, which meant that her mental energy couldn’t possibly be average either.
Yu Qing Qian raised her eyes faintly and said: “Does this have anything to do with you?”
“Of course it does. You’re my saviour.” Huo Li Ruo’s thin lips approached Yu Qing Qian’s ear and he whispered softly: “Do you have some hidden secrets that can’t be told, so you need to hide your strength?”
“Can’t I just like to keep a low-profile?” Yu Qing Qian rolled her eyes at him without a good attitude, “It’s not easy being an outstanding person, I’m just a Spiritual Plant Master who got excellent in the talent test and was still gawked at and discussed by so many people. If my other talents are also outstanding, then wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?”
“My intuition tells me that the reason why you did this isn’t just that simple.” Huo Li Ruo’s breath blew against her ear. From a distance, the two’s stance was rather ambiguous.
Yu Qing Qian pushed Huo Li Ruo away and took a few steps back. The smile in her eyes faded a bit, and she even revealed a hint of coldness, “You’re meddling too much.”
She didn’t want to expose her purpose of absorbing and refining the poison in Feng Chen’s body and secretly searching for the whereabouts of the spiritual medicine, and she didn’t like others digging into her privacy even more.
“Are you guarding against me?” A seductive smile bloomed on Huo Li Ruo’s androgynous face, “I still owe you three conditions. Actually, we can become best friends.”
“Really? Do you think I don’t know your purpose of getting close to and befriending me?” Yu Qing Qian chuckled: “Huo Li Ruo, if you really want to be best friends with someone who you are able to fight side by side with, or can leave your backs to them, then you must first take out your sincerity and heart.”
She paused, then raised a slightly mocking smile on her lips, “Your efforts to win over and befriend can only allow us to establish a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship at most. Let’s forget about being close friends.”
Be it during the apocalypse or in this world, the only person who could make Yu Qing Qian express her sincerity to were people who could trust the other and whom could leave their backs to each other.
So far, her dad, Yu Jing, was the only such person.
She could feel that Huo Li Ruo’s heart had already erected an iceberg. It wasn’t easy to melt it little by little. He wouldn’t trust anyone easily. He would look friendly to anyone but would naturally be wary of them.
He wasn’t very old, but his scheming was deep, and he was hard to figure out. He was also extremely talented and domineering. It was difficult for such a person to be sincere. She would never have the thought of accepting him as a lackey.
With Huo Li Ruo’s temperament and scheming, if one couldn’t enter deep into his heart to gain his true trust, then he could only become a simple friend who used each other, otherwise it would be like playing with fire and burning herself.
