“Arka, can we eat this red fruit?”
“No, the red phosphorous fruit contains toxins. Humans will feel dizzy after eating it.”
“Ah… It looks so sweet. What a pity.”
“Arka, you know a lot. Why are you so awesome?”
“Read more books…”
At the periphery of the woods, five to six little girls handed the wild flowers and wild fruits in their baskets to a fair little boy. They surrounded him and spoke to him.
Although the boy was young, he had been influenced by a sea of books. He had a scholarly aura and exuded unique elegance. He attracted the attention of many and also attracted many little girls.
… .
“Durga! Can you help us pluck the fruit from that tree?”
“Ah? Which one?”
“The reddest fruit on the tree at the side!”
“That one… I’ll pluck it for you!”
“Wow! You have plucked it so quickly! You’re amazing!!”
“This is nothing. When I was six, I was able to…”
On the other side of the woods, seeing Durga pluck the sweet fruit high up on the tree with ease, tiny stars appeared in the eyes of the two girls. Durga was so amazing!
… .
“Formick, we want to go there to pick some wild vegetables… Can you accompany us to take a look?”
A little girl with a small hair bun on her head carefully poked her head out to look at Formick. She pointed at the two red-faced little girls beside her who were looking left and right but not in her direction, and then at the small grass patch in the forest blocked by the low bushes. Her face was full of anticipation.
Formick, who was leaning against the tree, had a cold expression. He glanced at the three people opposite him and said calmly, “I’m not going.”
Upon hearing this, the three girls froze and left in misery.
Seeing this scene, Anthony, who had come over at some point, smiled and said, “Formick, you’re so indifferent.”
“Are you not indifferent too? You have already hidden yourself here.” Formick turned to look at him and said calmly, “When I came over just now, I heard someone say that Tia and the others were looking for someone.”
Anthony was stunned for a moment. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Alright, if I don’t give you away, you don’t either.”
Formick looked around, completely uninterested.
“So, why have we come?”
“I can’t explain it clearly. I think it’s better to come and take a look.” Anthony smiled. “I’m very free anyway. Isn’t it good to have a change of environment and get some air?”
Formick had not wanted to participate in this spring outing, and Anthony had insisted on dragging him over.
The reason was that Anthony had “thought” it was better to do so.
Anthony’s “intuition” was different from that of ordinary people. After he had learned the Small Prediction Technique, a certain “hunch” or an indescribable premonition of his was most probably some kind of guidance. The Nicholas family placed great value on such an indescribable feeling.
However, until now, Anthony was not sure why he had come to the spring outing.
After teasing each other, the two of them remained in the quiet forest, sensing the peace and quiet in the breeze.
It was a coincidence that the two of them could gather here and hide in peace.
Formick had always kept to a more secluded area wherever he could, not wanting to be disturbed by the others. Anthony was mainly hiding from the few girls who insisted on getting close to him. He had calculated that this place was the most impossible for him to be discovered.
At this moment, they were on a green mountain in the northern suburbs of the Holy Light City. The few girls that had appeared earlier were all students from the Holy Light School.
On the surrounding green field, there were also teachers and many students scattered around.
Today was the annual spring outing event organized by the Holy Light School.
For this event, ten plus teachers had led more than 200 students on a spring outing to this green mountain, taking advantage of the spring sunshine, where birds chirped and flowers bloomed sweetly in the northern suburbs.
This green mountain was called Liao Green Mountain. It was a very popular scenic area outside the Holy Light City for a spring outing. Usually, young men and women would come here to rest and relax. From time to time, there would be people holding outdoor gatherings in the suburbs.
Some families would also come here for a picnic during the holidays to enjoy the breeze, green grass, and blue sky.
It was said that this place had brought together many couples.
On the beautiful Liao Green Mountain today, apart from the teachers and students of the Holy Light School, there were also some rich families who had come over to leisurely while away their time in nature.
In the entire Holy Light School, the children of the Nicholas family received a lot of attention.
Among them were Anthony, Formick, Arka, and Durga. They were the four oldest and most outstanding young men of the Nicholas family clan in the Holy Light School.
The four of them also had a special title. They were the four young masters of the Nicholas family. At such a young age, they were already famous outside.
Those who could study in the Holy Light School were mostly children with some background. They were more mature than ordinary children and had understood certain principles earlier.
Anthony and the other three were favored by many girls in the school and were very popular.
Of course, there were also some boys who admired them and wanted to play with them.
Among the many young men and women, there were those who simply admired and liked them, and there were also those who had been tempted by various hints from their families.
It was impossible to say how many there were. In any case, many people were paying attention to the younger generation of the Nicholas family. Some wanted to marry the boys, some wanted to marry the girls, and there were even some boys who wanted to marry into the family… There were too many to count.
This was particularly so for the 17-year-old Lily. Countless young talents had been swept off the feet by her. If they were to really line up, they would probably be able to form a line from the main door of the Nicholas family all the way to the Liao Green Mountain.
However, Lily had already announced to the outside world that only those who could defeat her in combat would be qualified to pursue her. Otherwise, they should just get out of her sight.
From then on, countless suitors could only watch her from a distance and sigh bitterly.
There had once been some admirers who were unaware of their limitations. They tried all kinds of methods to spar with Lily, but they were all badly beaten up. Thereafter, there were very few of such people.
… .
“What’s so great about Durga and the others!”
On the hill, a strong boy of about twelve to thirteen years old snorted when he saw the popularity of Durga and the others. “Hmph!”
Beside him, a lean boy was also jealous. “It was all thanks to the powerful elders of the family clan and the heaven-tier cultivation techniques and various resources that they could become top Great Magi so quickly! If it were me, I would be able to do it too!!”
These sarcastic words were clearly out of jealousy.
There were many in the Holy Light School who liked Anthony and the others, and there were also those who hated them to the core.
For example, the few people currently standing on the hill. The strong boy’s name was Sidney. He was the leader of this group and often fought with Durga. To be precise, he was often beaten up.
There were also people in their family who had instructed them not to provoke the Nicholas family, but the rebellious young men did not care about that at all. The more they instructed, the greater was the rebellion in their hearts. The more they were not allowed to do it, the more they had to do it.
No matter how much the group of children quarreled and fought, they would not go to the extent of using the power of the family clan behind them.
When the group of little boys saw that Durga and the others were so popular with the girls, they were instantly displeased. They snorted and walked over to Durga’s side.
“Durga, I want to compete with you!”
Durga was still picking fruits on the tree. He seemed to not understand. “Are you looking for a beating again?”
“No fighting!” Sidney was exasperated. “Let’s do something different today!”
Durga rolled his eyes. “No fighting? Then what’s there to compete!!”
Everyone :”…”
