The Daily Life of the Immortal King Chapter 1173

Chapter 1173 - What Is It Like to Like Someone?

Super Chen was relieved when he saw Wang Ling, who had been missing, bring the fake Wang Zhen safely back to No. 60 High’s camp. “Damn, you’re finally back! I heard from Nan Yixiu that you went to Mist Peak by yourself to fight Gao Tianming one-on-one? How can you be so brave? Do you have a cheat?”

Wang Ling: “…” As an outstanding individual who had inherited cultivation socialist values, Wang Ling was disinclined to use something as impractical as a cheat – that was because he was a cheat himself, so he didn’t need to use one.

Wang Ling was worried that he wouldn’t be able to explain what just happened, but Odd Zhuo had naturally prepared for that as well. He arranged for a member of the special forces, who had already been stationed nearby, to deliberately pass over No. 60 High’s camp while on his way to help out at Mist Peak. As expected, he was intercepted by the students here.

“Teacher, what on earth happened on Mist Peak?” Nan Yixiu asked. He felt that it definitely wouldn’t be so easy for Wang Ling to bring Wang Zhen back. Who was Wang Ling? He was No. 60 High’s mascot and the weakest in their team! If he could snatch Wang Zhen back from a lunatic like Gao Tianming, Wang Ling must have definitely struck some sort of deal with Gao Tianming.

At the same time, however, Nan Yixiu felt a little puzzled, since it was clear that this member of the special forces was rushing over to Mist Peak, which proved that a fierce battle had likely taken place there.

This member of the special forces, whose passing had been premeditated, said, “A student with the surname Gao caused a huge explosion, and all the students there were eliminated.”

“All of them were eliminated? Then Wang Ling…”

“Oh, do you mean the student with dead fish eyes? He was blown away by the qi blast and wasn’t caught in the explosion.” After saying this, this member of the special forces stepped onto his flying sword and left right away.

When Nan Yixiu and the people around him heard this, they understood instantly.

This was because Mist Peak’s terrain was unique, as it was surrounded by rising air currents. Thus, when a person fell from Mist Peak, it was like wearing a parachute. So, was that the reason why Wang Ling was able to land safe and sound after he was sent flying by the qi blast, and furthermore was able to bring Wang Zhen back with him?

After sorting out the entire sequence of events, Nan Yixiu looked at Wang Ling in astonishment.

Everyone said that this was No. 60 High’s good luck charm… Seeing truly was believing, and Nan Yixiu came back to his senses. Was the only thing he could say, “as expected of Wang Ling”?

This rumored mascot could actually be this lucky!

“As expected of Classmate Wang Ling!” Nan Yixiu couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up and marvel at Wang Ling’s awesome operation.

On the other side, Lotus Sun had worried about Wang Ling the entire time, and she breathed easier when she saw him come back safe and sound with Wang Zhen. When she didn’t see Wang Ling earlier, she had felt especially nervous, and was even prepared to call her family bodyguards remotely to go up the mountain for a search and rescue…

This was a privilege that only Lotus Sun had.

That was because after the previous attempted assassination by Shadow Stream, President Qi had in fact allowed Huaguo Water Curtain Group to send more internal group members to protect her, and these people were actually waiting in the distance at that very moment. They weren’t allowed to interfere in the competition, but they could protect Lotus Sun if it became necessary.

But Lotus Sun wasn’t very concerned about her own safety.

As long as Wang Ling was fine, she could take anything.

Lotus Sun hadn’t only been thinking about herself to begin with when it came to the deployment of these bodyguards. There were so many classmates of No. 60 High here; as team captain, she was naturally responsible for protecting her team members.

“It’s good that you’re okay.”

Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, the girl smiled. She looked at Wang Ling’s face, which was as calm as ever, out of the corner of her eye, and her heart felt somewhat at peace.

With Wang Ling’s return, the second night of the national competition passed without a hitch.

Everyone on the other main peaks of Nine Dragon Mountain knew that No. 60 High had sent their lone mascot to wipe out the Mist Peak camp that was led by No. 1 Devil-Subduing High… Everyone was stunned, and started to take various measures to guard against Fire Peak; a number of camps that had intended to besiege Fire Peak before this canceled their plans.

Mainly, everyone felt that there was something ominous about No. 60 High.

It seemed that anyone who came into contact with No. 60 High came to a bad end.

In the girls’ tent at midnight, Lotus Sun sensed that Liu Qingyi seemed uneasy. In many cases, girls were like an open book to each other, and they could understand each other’s thoughts.

“It’s my turn on watch.” A blanket over her shoulders, Lotus Sun said down next to Liu Qingyi and gave her the hot fruit tea she had prepared. Stumped for a bit, Liu Qingyi then reached out to accept the steaming cup of fragrant tea.

After taking a deep breath of the sweet smell, Liu Qingyi felt much calmer.

Sugar could stimulate dopamine, which in turn could help get rid of anxiety.

Holding the hot tea, the two girls sat side by side, hugging their knees.

Liu Qingyi drank the fruit tea with a heavy heart.

Then, Lotus Sun asked bluntly, “Are you worried about Classmate Wang Zhen?”

“Says who?! Don’t… don’t talk rubbish…”

It was clear that Lotus Sun had guessed right. Liu Qingyi blushed on the spot, and even her ears turned red.

Lotus Sun suggested, “If you’re really worried, you can actually go take a look.”

“I… I just feel something isn’t right with Wang Zhen.” Liu Qingyi lowered her head and looked troubled as she said, “He hasn’t said anything or quarreled with me after coming back.”

Lotus Sun nodded. “That’s a little strange.”

Even she could tell that Classmate Wang Zhen’s behavior seemed a little “wooden” now, and he was always in a daze like a blockhead.

Lotus Sun wondered, “Could it be that Gao Tianming scared him silly? I heard that the explosion on Mist Peak was quite violent. If it wasn’t for the protective golden talisman, everyone might have been seriously injured…”

Liu Qingyi didn’t respond.

She was well aware that the whole story might not be that simple.

Wang Zhen was a thick-skinned person, and had a very sturdy body; after living with Wang Zhen at Wei Zhi’s place, she knew very well what his character was like.

In fact, after knowing him for this long, she no longer found him so annoying.

This person who had come down from the Domain of the Gods to “escape marriage” like her… There were times when he could even be reliable. At the very least, he gave her the feeling that he was shouldering his responsibilities the way a man should.

Emotions were always so complicated.

Liu Qingyi thought that this wasn’t something a young girl could understand, since there was an age gap between her and Lotus Sun, and she was reluctant to share this worry of hers with anyone else. Now that Lotus Sun had hit the nail on the head, however, Liu Qingyi started to slowly lower her guard.

Perhaps she had placed too much importance on age?

“What’s it like to like someone?” asked Liu Qingyi in a low voice.

Lotus Sun looked at the other side, where Wang Ling was looking up at the dark sky, and said to Liu Qingyi, “When you like someone, you’ll always feel worried and anxious for him; even when he’s looking at the sky, you’ll worry that the stars might fall and hit him…”
