The fourth segment of the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Convention was still ongoing.
At the academy's request, almost all the female students from Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy chose a young prodigy from another academy or sect.
Among them was Yu Tianlong of the Heavenly Dragon Gate, and the one who chose him was none other than Jiang Nannan.
Although she had fallen into the water, the organizer, Shrek Academy, still made an exception and gave her a second chance. In terms of appearance, she had also once been the number one beauty of the outer court. At this blind date event, the academy had to maximize the value of every female student.
This was also the mission given to every female student by the academy.
Regardless of whether the two would be together in the future or break up, they had to absorb the fresh blood first.
Jiang Nannan had chosen to return to the academy before the event this time, partly in the hope that the academy could help treat her mother's illness, and partly as a final attempt to win back Xu Sanshi.
However, Xu Sanshi had ultimately let go of that ill-fated relationship.
Jiang Nannan's heart was like dead ashes for a time. She knew that Yu Tianlong was interested in Tang Wutong. In order to retaliate against Xu Sanshi for not choosing her, she stood by Yu Tianlong's side.
Jiang Nannan was simply too beautiful. Even though Yu Tianlong had been captured by Tang Wutong's devastating beauty before, at this moment, he couldn't help but re-examine this girl who had chosen him.
It seems that even if he missed out on that Tang Wutong, this Jiang Nannan is also a good choice?
Yu Tianlong could see that Jiang Nannan had strong feelings for that Xu Sanshi. It was just a pity that Tang Wutong now occupied the entire space in Xu Sanshi's heart, leaving no room for Jiang Nannan.
"He will regret letting you go." Yu Tianlong was not very good at comforting girls, but the words he said almost directly struck Jiang Nannan's heart.
Jiang Nannan shed tears of grievance, biting her lower lip hard.
The speed of the fourth segment was a hundred times faster than the previous three. The hundred or so fairies from the two academies had chosen their admired young men in less than half an hour. They were all one-in-a-hundred beauties from the academy, and with their not-so-weak talents, they had for a time dazed those boys who were eager to find a partner.
However, not a single one of them had walked towards the most monstrously talented among the boys present, Xie Huanyue and his companions.
"Since when did the dignified number one academy of the continent use this method to recruit talent?" Zimu looked unwillingly at the female students who were walking one by one towards the geniuses from outside sects. From the eyes of some, it could be seen that they were not willing.
Just like Jiang Nannan, the academy had long since conducted detailed investigations on them, grasped their weaknesses, and coerced and bribed them into submission. As for the original female students of the Shrek inner court, they had long been brainwashed by Shrek's glory to the point of obsession, putting the interests of the academy above all else.
Even if it meant sacrificing their future happiness.
"The captain is right here. Aren't they going to make a move yet?" Ji Juechen glanced at the edge of the venue. He could faintly feel a powerful aura that had been lurking for a long time.
Xie Huanyue shook his head. He knew very well that the opponent's target was his brother, Huo Yuhao. If Shrek were to make a move too early, not only would it be easy to alert the enemy, but it would also lead to the forced suspension of the convention.
The current Shrek Academy was in urgent need of an influx of talent, especially those already famous Soul Sage and even Soul Douluo level experts in their thirties.
Therefore, for the time being, the few of them in the venue were still relatively safe.
However, since they had come, it probably wouldn't be so easy to get away smoothly.
Moreover, the bombshell of this convention, Ma Xiaotao, the direct disciple of the former dean of Shrek's martial soul department, had not yet appeared. It was estimated that Shrek was planning to use her marriage proposal as the final entertainment to force Huo Yuhao to show himself.
Therefore, as long as Huo Yuhao did not appear, those behind the scenes would not dare to act recklessly, and the convention could continue.
In other words, no matter when Huo Yuhao appeared, the Shrek side was fully prepared.
At this moment, a fairy wearing a conical hat steered her water lily and slowly sailed towards Ji Juechen.
She cleanly took off her conical hat and threw it on the river surface with some disgust. "This thing is such a pain to wear. I can't even move my head properly!"
The newcomer was precisely the Smoker of the Straw Hat Brigade, Jing Ziyan.
She had naturally also participated in this blind date event. It was just that Huo Yuhao had not yet appeared, and the blind date event was nearing its end, so the original arrangement no longer had that much meaning.
"You'd better go back to your post honestly now. Who knows, the Demon King Huo Yuhao might arrive in a moment." Ji Juechen said lightly.
"None of your business." Jing Ziyan rolled her eyes at him. "I've already done what I was supposed to do. But you, Mr. Handsome, have you taken a fancy to any girl?"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but let out a sinister laugh.
Ji Juechen said, "Look at the expression on your face. Do you know how sinister you look right now, like a fox."
Jing Ziyan said in annoyance, "You're the fox. Have you ever seen a fox that has planted a pile of bombs? Hey, why are you talking so much today? It's not like you." As she spoke, she looked at Ji Juechen with confusion.
Ji Juechen's usually cold and hard face suddenly had some changes. Jing Ziyan was dumbfounded to find that the expression on his face seemed to be called shyness, or embarrassment.
"Heavens! What's wrong with you, Juechen? Are you sick?" As Jing Ziyan spoke, she quickly walked towards him.
"Stop." Ji Juechen suddenly said in a deep voice.
Jing Ziyan immediately stopped, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
"I'm fine. I'm not sick." Ji Juechen patted his forehead, as if trying to calm himself down.
"Then what's with you?" Jing Ziyan stared at him with a puzzled expression.
Ji Juechen lowered his head slightly, as if he was thinking about something. Fortunately, this contemplation did not last for too long. He suddenly raised his head again, looked at Jing Ziyan, and said, "Ziyan, we've known each other for a long time, haven't we?"
"Yes, for quite a few years. We met when we first entered the academy and no one was willing to talk to you. At that time, you were admitted to the academy as an extra. Later, you found a suitable path for yourself. I watched you walk this path all the way. What's wrong?"
Ji Juechen's gaze gradually became firm. "Let's be together."
"Haven't we always been together?" Jing Ziyan said with confusion. But in the next instant, when she saw Ji Juechen's eyes clearly, suddenly, her whole person froze as if she were a clay sculpture.
On the side, Zimu, who had been looking at the beauties, stumbled and almost fell into the water.
At this time, the expression on Jing Ziyan's face was even more terrifying than if she had seen a ghost. That disbelief, that incredulity, had almost reached the limit of what a human could express with their face.
"You, what did you say... Say it clearly, what do you mean?" Jing Ziyan's voice trembled uncontrollably, as if she were experiencing the most terrifying thing in the world.
