Although Fu Jiao couldn’t do anything to Hua Shang, there was still a gap in strength between the Li family and the Fu family. Fu Jiao naturally didn’t take Li Ling seriously.

“Don’t talk nonsense here. When you’re beaten up by the princess tomorrow, I’ll see if you can still speak!” Fu Jiao snorted, clearly full of schadenfreude.

Kong Rui pursed her lips but had no intention of continuing to respond to Fu Jiao’s provocation.

She planned to avoid Fu Jiao and the others so as not to waste her time again.

However, just as she raised her foot, she saw Fu Jiao looking behind her excitedly.

Kong Rui felt a probing gaze from behind her. That gaze was somewhat cold. Kong Rui immediately thought of that person’s identity. She didn’t turn around and only wanted to leave as soon as possible, but that person didn’t seem to have any intention of letting her off.

“Sister Ling, don’t be in a hurry to leave! I have something to ask you.” Nie Yin’s voice sounded behind Kong Rui.

Li Ling’s performance in the spirit beast competition these two days made Nie Yin feel a little baffled.

Although he had not interacted much with Li Ling, he still had some understanding of Li Ling’s temperament.

The Li Ling in front of him was too different from the original Li Ling in terms of personality and behavior. Although he tried to use different methods to investigate the reason for Li Ling’s change, he still couldn’t find the problem.

The strangest thing was that her cultivation level had improved by leaps and bounds. The battle with Lei Aotian today showed that her spirit beast couldn’t be underestimated!

Although Kong Rui was impatient, she didn’t want to kiss up to Nie Yin like the previous Li Ling did.

However, in order to avoid deepening Nie Yin’s suspicion, Kong Rui secretly took a deep breath and stood still.

Nie Yin took a few steps to Kong Rui’s side and sized her up carefully before saying, “Sister Ling, you’ve changed a lot after a few days!”

The corners of Kong Rui’s mouth twitched before she said, “People have to grow up.”

Nie Yin didn’t raise any doubts about Kong Rui’s nonchalant answer. He just smiled faintly and said, “It’s rare for Fu Jiao and Lei Peng to be here today. Why don’t we go to a restaurant for a meal?”

Although Fu Jiao was unwilling to eat at the same table as Li Ling, since Nie Yin had suggested it, she didn’t dare to refute him.

Lei Peng had the intention to interact with Nie Yin more, so he naturally wouldn’t let go of such an opportunity.

His older brother had lost to Li Ling in the spirit beast competition today. His status in the Lei family was different now!

In particular, his spirit beast was seriously injured. It would probably take a long time to heal!

Lei Peng was planning to use this opportunity to gain a place in the Lei family. If he could obtain the help of Nie Yin and the Nie family… his wishes would naturally come true!

The three of them hit it off, but Kong Rui wasn’t interested.

She made up a few excuses in her mind. From the patriarch being on the verge of death to her needing to relieve herself…

However, none of them worked.

Kong Rui was helpless. She could only lower her head and nod slightly. “Alright! Let’s go!”

Seeing that Kong Rui had agreed, Nie Yin leaned forward slightly and gestured for her to enter.

Not to mention Fu Jiao and Lei Peng, even Kong Rui was surprised.

Nie Yin was actually so polite to her?

There must be something fishy!

Nie Yin didn’t think there was anything wrong with this. He just smiled as he looked at Kong Rui. “What’s wrong?”

Kong Rui shook her head and walked towards the First Restaurant. Nie Yin walked beside her with the arrogance of a young master.

Fu Jiao and Lei Peng exchanged glances. They actually felt that Kong Rui and Nie Yin, walking side by side, were a good match.

Just as Kong Rui turned around to look at them, Fu Jiao finally came back to her senses.

She stomped her feet angrily and gritted her teeth. “What are you thinking?! She’s just an illegitimate daughter of the Li family. Do you really think she’s worthy enough?!”

Lei Peng looked at Fu Jiao’s angry expression in amusement. “Do you really think she’s someone important? She’s just lucky! Just watch. The competition tomorrow will definitely be exciting!” As Lei Peng spoke, a scheming look flashed across his eyes.

Although Fu Jiao was engaged to Lei Peng, she felt a little conflicted about and even despised this scheming man.

She was the legitimate daughter of the Fu family. Why was she matched with the second son of the Lei family?!

Fu Jiao pursed her lips and ignored Lei Peng. She quickly chased after the two of them.

Lei Peng froze for a moment, then hurriedly said, “Hey, wait for me! Let’s go together!”
