Chapter Seven The New Transfer Student

  "I heard there's no class today, but it seems a new student has joined our class."

  "Transfer student? No way! Can you even transfer in college?"

  "Really? I've never heard of a university allowing mid-term enrollment before. Is it because your family has some special privilege?"

  "What privilege! I took a year off and now I'm back in school so I've become a transfer student."

  "Oh......" Everyone nodded in understanding, "Isn't that very old? Male or female? Good-looking?"

  "He's coming today, you'll know when you see him, but it's best if he's a boy."

  "Don't be so silly!"

  "Where is Huāchī (Flower Crazy), it's a love for beauty that everyone has."

  "Here! Here!" It was unclear who had whispered, but the entire classroom suddenly fell silent, as if everyone was eagerly awaiting this new student. All eyes were fixed on the door.

  It seemed as if he had long expected the eager gaze of others, and as soon as the new transfer student entered the classroom, he burst into a warm and enthusiastic smile, his eyes narrowing into a crescent moon shape. He then waved at everyone and said with excitement, "Hello everyone, my name is She Ruiwen, please take care of me from now on." After his brief introduction, She Ruiwen found an empty seat and sat down, completely ignoring the low gasps that people made when they saw him for a moment.

  "So handsome, so cute. Can't tell your age at all!"

  "It's just too thin, looks so frail."

  "It looks cute like that, it would be even better if it were a little smaller!"

  "Little slave? Don't be so evil, okay?"

  As soon as Su Qi Ruo stepped into the classroom, she hesitated for a moment. Usually, no one would arrive so early for class, what was going on today? Had she entered the wrong classroom? But seeing those familiar faces, Su Qi Ruo felt that she shouldn't have made a mistake! Perhaps sensing her hesitation, her roommate enthusiastically greeted her, "Qi Ruo!"

  "Oh!" Su Qi rushed over like she had found a lifesaver, and immediately sat down. "What's going on? Is the sun rising in the west? Why is everyone here so early?"

  "There's a new transfer student today, and everyone can't help but be curious. You've been hiding in the self-study room all day, so you wouldn't know."

  I didn't want to hide in the study room either, I had no choice but to go because of Lu Ke's harassment! Su Qi said with a wronged expression, "Which one is the transfer student?"

  "Hey!" The roommate shook her finger and coincidentally, Shu Ruiwen turned around, "Shu Ruiwen."

  At the moment Su Qi Ruo and Xie Ru Wen locked eyes, Su Qi Ruo's heart skipped a beat for no reason, a vague premonition arose. "What is his name?" Su Qi Ruo asked subconsciously.

  "Shi Ruwen."

  "Xie, Rui, Wen. Surname Xie..." Su Qi suddenly became alert and thought that this Xie Ruiwen might be the person with the surname Xie mentioned by Lu Ke. But if he had branded himself, why didn't he have any impression of it?

  Su Qi's eyebrows furrowed into a river character, if this person was the boss who made other demons retreat, then what did it mean for him to appear in his own life now? Was he going to eat him ahead of time or come to declare war and settle Lu Ke?

  Su Qi couldn't think of a clue, so she hastily took out her phone and sent a text message to Lu Ke, "Do you know someone named She Ruiwen?"

  Lu Ke didn't reply to her text for half a day, Su Qi Ruo felt anxious and uneasy, she didn't pay attention to the class meeting, although Shi Rui Wen only glanced at her once and didn't look at her again, but Su Qi Ruo's unease grew stronger, she sat on pins and needles. Just then, the class meeting ended, as classmates were walking out one by one, Lu Ke walked against the crowd into the classroom, in the moment she saw Lu Ke, Su Qi Ruo inexplicably felt a sense of relief.

  Lu Ke took a glance at Su Qi and, seeing that she was fine, felt slightly relieved. After receiving her text message, he rushed over immediately. Although he wasn't surprised by Yang Ruiwen's appearance, he hadn't expected him to show up so quickly. Lu Ke walked towards Yang Ruiwen, who was sitting steadily, and Yang Ruiwen didn't seem surprised by Lu Ke's arrival either. A smile hung on his face as he looked at Lu Ke and slowly stood up, "Long time no see, little scorpion!"

  "How did you get here?" Lu Ke's face was as cold as frost, and he asked in a chilly tone.

  "Oh dear, it's been a long time! I've missed you so much!" Si Ruiwen ignored Lu Ke's hostility and smiled even more brightly.

  Lu Ke ignored his response and turned to Su Qi Ru, "Let's go, to the self-study room."

  "Hey!" As soon as Shu Ruiwen's voice fell, Su Qiruo suddenly found that Shu Ruiwen, who was originally behind Lu Ke, had appeared in front of them in an instant. Shu Ruiwen's face still wore a smile, very sunny and gentle, but Su Qiruo felt a piercing sensation, as if the scorching sun was making her eyes ache. "Long time no see, shouldn't we say something?"

  Lu Ke stood silently, staring at She Ruiwen, while Su Qiye also fixed her gaze on him. The three people just stood there in a stalemate, when suddenly Su Qiye noticed that She Ruiwen's eyes flashed with a hint of golden light. "What kind of demon clan is She Ruiwen? Can Lu Ke handle it?"

  "No wonder..." Shi Ruiwen suddenly realized something, and looked at Lu Ke and Su Qiye with a measuring gaze. "The future is long, hehe." Before leaving, Shi Ruiwen gave Su Qiye a heavy look, winking ambiguously at him, "Water God, see you later!"

  "Is that it?" Su Qieruo still had a hint of doubt about Shi Ruwen's sudden departure, "Did you exchange some information when you looked at each other just now?"

  "We are in a relatively advantageous position."

  "Despise?" Su Qi's puzzlement deepened.

  " Aura." Lu Ke repeated, "In the natural world, when two sides are evenly matched, they generally won't launch a sudden attack, but rather probe each other. This probing can also be understood as a comparison of strength and gains/losses between the two sides. For example, when males compete for a female mate, they will display their body weight, length, etc., to scare off their opponents. In the demon clan, this probing has become a comparison of aura, which can also be understood as momentum."

  "Oh, so it's just a show of force. So he withdrew, does that mean he couldn't beat you?"

  "Not really, he just thinks it's not worth it." Lu Ke said, casting a faint glance at Su Qi Ruo.

  Su Qi said with a hint of resentment, "So you're saying I'm not worth his sacrifice?"

  Lu Ke didn't say a word, which was tantamount to acknowledging Su Qi Ruo's words. This made Su Qi Ruo extremely angry. As the Water God with a long heritage, how could she become nothing in the blink of an eye? "It would be best if all of you from the Demon Clan thought I wasn't worth paying attention to. That way, my days will be completely peaceful!"

  Watching Su Qiruo storm off in anger, Lu Ke suddenly showed obvious concern. "Shi Ruwen will never give up on Su Qiruo, what will he do next? However, he has no chance of taking away my prey."
