Xie Xie's confrontation

    The next few weeks were uneventful. That is, if you rule out the awkwardness between Tang Wulin and Gu Yue.

    After their little moment that night, Gu Yue would intentionally avoid Tang Wulin. And when they needed to be together, she tried her best, not to interact much, and completely avoid eye contact with Tang Wulin.

   Tang Wulin was having similar issues. He would occasionally stutter a bit, when talking to Gu Yue. And like Gu Yue, avoid eye contact with her.

   When they don't have anything important to do, they go to their respective organizations, The Spirit Pagoda and the Tang Sect. This drew the suspicion of others.

"What's going on with Captain?", Xu Xiaoyan whispered to Xie Xie, who was sitting beside her, during a discussion for battle armour, along with Xu Lizhi and Ye Xinglan. Although the discussion was going smoothly, it couldn't hide the atmosphere between Gu Yue and Tang Wulin, who were completely avoiding each other, despite sitting side-by-side as usual. It wasn't the usual cold aura around Gu Yue, or the serene presence of Tang Wulin. It was completely an awkward atmosphere, but no one wanted to speak up about it.

"I have no idea", Xie Xie admitted.

"Should we talk to them?", Xu Xiaoyan asked as she glanced at the pair, the boy discussion with Ye Xinglan, the glare simply listening and adding her own few points in between.

"You talk to them! I don't wanna get beaten up by either of them!", Xie Xie whisper yelled, freaking out a bit.

"Well, that concludes the discussion ", Tang Wulin said as he got up to leave. He didn't speak more and walked out.

   Gu Yue, Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi also went out soon after.

"You talk to captain, while I talk to sister Gu Yue ", Xu Xiaoyan said.

"I am. Not. Signing up. For this suicide mission!", Xie Xie declared. Although he knew Tang Wulin wouldn't bully him often, he is scary when pissed. Their first encounter was always a trauma for him. Tang Wulin frigging threw him out of the window, with zero hesitation!

"Plea~se!", Xu Xiaoyan said with her innocent puppy look. It was her Trump card inorder to convince others. Even Gu Yue fall victim sometimes, so who was Xie Xie?

"Your acting skill is too good ", Xie Xie sighed as he walked out, bracing himself for the worst that could happen.

   Meanwhile, Tang Wulin was already out of the main gate. His physical prowess was already best among his peers but now, when no one was watching, he teleported to the academy gate, and walked away, lost in his thoughts.

'What the hell his wrong with me? It's not like I don't know her! Hell, I even done it with her, abliet, in my previous life. But why am I so awkward after just a hug?! And why is she so awkward? It wasn't much different from me carrying her on my back right?', these thoughts flooded his mind as he walked on towards Tang Sect. The Amorous doulou offered Tang Wulin a driver so that it would be more convenient, but Tang Wulin declined as it would be too eye-catching.

"Boss! Wait up!", Xie Xie's scream came from behind as Tang Wulin walked. He ran at his top speed in order to catch up with Tang Wulin.

"How are you so much faster than an agility type like me?!", Xie Xie asked defeated.

"Nah, you are just too slow. You should work on that", Tang Wulin said, as he walked, without glancing at Xie Xie.

"Don't just downright insult me!", Xie Xie protested, which Tang Wulin ignored.

"What are you doing here? Shouldn't this be your 'chase after Yuanen' time?", Tang Wulin asked as he glanced at him.

"I needed to go to Tang Sect as well", Xie Xie said, unfazed by Tang Wulin's light tease.
