In the back mountain of Linjiang First High School, there is a scenic pavilion.
At this moment, Liu He and Huang Yunxuan were sitting opposite each other in the pavilion.
"Brother Liu." Huang Yunxuan looked at the fair-skinned young man in front of him and said softly, "The Thousand Demon Cave will open in just over ten days."
"She still hasn't agreed to team up with you?"
The person who could make Liu He care so much was naturally Li Ruoxi.
Liu He remained calm and said, "No rush, she'll agree."
"Brother Liu," Huang Yunxuan said seriously, "I know Li Ruoxi well enough; she's strong-willed and won't easily change her mind once she's decided on something."
"Why don't you team up with me? When we get to the Thousand Demon Cave, we can look for her together."
Upon hearing this, Liu He shook his head.
"The forbidden area of the Thousand Demon Cave is vast; once we teleport in, the landing points are random. How do we find her?"
He spoke slowly, "Only by teaming up and being bound together can we teleport to the same location."
Huang Yunxuan said grimly, "If all else fails, we'll use force..."
Liu He glanced at him, half-smiling but with a hint of warning: "Huang Yunxuan, I know you want revenge on Li Ruoxi, but I advise you not to touch her until I've had my way."
"After I'm bored, then it'll be your turn, understand?"
"Understood," Huang Yunxuan lowered his head, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.
He knew well that Liu He appeared gentle but was actually quite ruthless.
Moreover, Liu He came from a prominent family in the Inner City, whose background was terrifyingly influential.
He dared not take the warning lightly.
At this moment, a figure came crying from the foot of the mountain.
"Brother Liu!"
From afar, Zhou Kexin cried out, "Li Ruoxi wouldn't listen to me and even disfigured me!"
She ran up to them, revealing the scars on her face.
Seeing this, Liu He frowned deeply.
Zhou Kexin continued to cry and complain, "Brother Liu, no matter how much I persuaded, she just wouldn't listen and insists on teaming up with Xu Zhou. I really can't do anything about it."
She covered her face, looking helpless.
Liu He didn't speak, his expression turning grim.
Beside him, Huang Yunxuan showed a fleeting hint of joy in his eyes and then feigned surprise, "What? Li Ruoxi wants to team up with Xu Zhou? Has she gone mad?"
Then, he whispered, "Brother Liu, Li Ruoxi would rather team up with her younger brother from the first year; it seems she's determined to reject you."
Liu He slightly clenched his fist, his eyes showing a hint of darkness.
After a moment, his demeanor calmed, and he nodded, "Fine, very good."
"If she's unwilling to take the soft approach, then we'll have to use the hard one."
Liu He had a barely noticeable gleam of cruelty in his eyes.
Beside him, Huang Yunxuan watched his expression, a subtle smile appearing on his face.
Then he lowered his head, glancing at his right hand, which had only four fingers remaining, with a look of intense hatred in his eyes.
"Li Ruoxi, Xu Zhou..." Huang Yunxuan mused, "Who would've thought you'd team up to enter the Thousand Demon Cave? Very well."
"Xu Zhou, I'll make you watch as I kill Li Ruoxi."
A terrifying murderous intent flickered in Huang Yunxuan's eyes.
...
Third-year Class Three's training room.
The students of Class Three had already recovered from their shock.
Then, most of the girls present turned their bright eyes towards Xu Zhou.
Xu Zhou had always been quite handsome, and now with his Qi-Blood improvement, his appearance had become more masculine and striking, with sharp brows and bright eyes, marking him as a proper handsome man.
Moreover, his recent display of extraordinary strength instantly captured the hearts of many senior sisters.
At this moment, a few pretty senior sisters even approached to ask for Xu Zhou's contact information.
Faced with this situation, Xu Zhou was a bit at a loss.
But he couldn't refuse and immediately took out his phone to add each of them.
After Xu Zhou had added a few, Li Ruoxi couldn't take it any longer and pulled him out.
"They're just seniors about to graduate, what's there to add them for?" She said, somewhat speechlessly.
Xu Zhou was puzzled and muttered, "Adding them doesn't hurt..."
Li Ruoxi glared at him, then said, "What's with your Qi-Blood? You didn't take any illegal substances, did you?"
Xu Zhou's Qi-Blood had improved so rapidly that even she found it a bit abnormal.
To this, Xu Zhou had already thought of an explanation: "Don't you remember? My talent is quite special, allowing rapid Qi-Blood increase."
Li Ruoxi looked deeply at him for a moment and then said, "As long as you haven't taken any illegal drugs."
She guessed Xu Zhou might have some secrets.
If it were just talent, it couldn't explain such rapid cultivation progress.
However, she didn't press further; a little secret was normal for a growing brother.
Seeing this, Xu Zhou was also secretly relieved.
Immediately, he smiled and said, "I did quite well in this fight, didn't I?"
"Yes, it was quite good." Li Ruoxi rarely acknowledged him, then added, "But don't be so reckless in the future."
"Not reckless, I need to stand up for you." Xu Zhou said.
"Who needs your help." Li Ruoxi snorted lightly.
Though she said that, her gaze towards Xu Zhou was no longer as cold as before, carrying a hint of softness.
