Anna covered her mouth with a look of disbelief. Obviously, she could not accept such an outcome.
Aloy shook her head with a bitter smile.
‘I’m sorry, Anna.’
No matter how unacceptable it was to her, Aloy would not change her mind because of this.
“Aloy, how could you…” Her best friend shook her head, and the way she looked at Aloy instantly became a lot more unfamiliar. “You weren’t like this before.”
After saying this, Anna turned around and left. “I’m sorry, but I want to go back alone today.”
Only Shen Fei and Aloy were left at the deserted bus stop.
“Are you satisfied with the current result?” Shen Fei glowered at Aloy. He really did not know what Aloy was thinking about each day!
“You did all those things on purpose, didn’t you?”
“Sigh…” Aloy sighed slowly and casually rolled up her hair. “I didn’t know it would turn out like this… I didn’t order them to spread such a big rumor.”
That innocent tone was like that of an innocent little white rabbit. Shen Fei pursed his lips and coldly looked at Aloy.
‘She’s definitely doing this on purpose!’
Aloy was the symbol of the Gelin family’s reputation, and they regarded their reputation as more important than their lives. How could she just ignore such a scandal that could ruin her reputation?
…Unless she had other motives!
Shen Fei squinted his eyes. The key was: What did Aloy want from him?
His true talent had not been revealed to anyone. The Shen family’s resources had long been squandered away by his father. The two spirit beasts he had signed a contract with were not bad…
But Shen Fei asked himself honestly, ‘If I really had an F-class talent, and if Aloy had the time to wait for me to grow, it would be better for her to look for another Beastmaster with more potential… Could it be that she’s after my face?… But if she really wanted my face, then why did she ignore me before?’
Shen Fei could not puzzle it out.
‘No. I can’t just let this matter go like this!’
No matter what, Aloy had to compensate him for his loss!
“Don’t be angry, I didn’t know that this would happen…”
“What? I can’t be angry?” Shen Fei put on an angry posture. “I told the other students, but they didn’t believe me. They even thought that I was the one who pressured you! My innocent reputation has been destroyed without any reason!
“As the party involved, why don’t you come out and help me resolve this! What’s the big deal?”
“Pfft!” Aloy laughed, unable to hide the smile on her face.
Looking at Shen Fei’s reaction, Aloy understood what he meant! He was asking her for compensation.
“Two boxes of spirit fruits, one for fire attributes and one for dark attributes.”
“What kind of person do you think I am!” Shen Fei pretended to be angry and frowned, but in his heart, he was secretly delighted! “You’ve caused me so much damage, now you want to send me on my merry way with just two boxes of spirit fruits?”
Aloy decisively doubled the number. “Four boxes,”
“Deal!” Shen Fei’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed in an instant. “When are you sending the four boxes over? Tonight or tomorrow night?”
“Tomorrow. That’s a lot of spirit fruits. I’ll need some time to count them.”
“Good! I’ll be waiting for you.”
Shen Fei nodded his head in satisfaction. He no longer haggled over the matter from before and turned around to walk home.
It was exactly as she had thought. Aloy suddenly laughed and turned around to return to the mayor’s mansion.
…
In the study of the mayor’s mansion.
Knock, knock!
Aloy knocked on the door of the study room with a stack of spirit fruit lists.
“Father, I’m going to take some more spirit fruits from the warehouse.”
“You can take whatever you want for that kind of small matter, just let the butler know. However, I have something else to tell you. Come in first.”
“Yes, sir.” Aloy answered and pushed the door open. The current mayor, the head of the Gelin family, Edward Gelin, was sitting in the study.
“Father, what is it you wish to discuss?”
“It’s about your engagement,” Edward stated clearly, looking at his daughter worriedly. “I remember that you were adamant about not wanting to marry Shen Fei. Why are you suddenly willing to marry him now? You even gave him so many things in advance, all of which were allocated from your own cultivation resources. Aren’t you afraid of raising an ungrateful husband in the future? ”
Edward looked at her worriedly.
“If our relationship with them is still considered good, then this bit of resources can be considered as being put to good use. However, ever since you said that you didn’t want to be with Shen Fei, I have been deliberately distancing us from the Shen family.”
At this point, the mayor let out a long sigh. “The relationship between the Shen family and our Gelin family is no longer as close as before. Are you sure he really wants to marry you? What if he really runs away?”
“It won’t happen, father,”
‘It won’t!’ Aloy shook her head decisively. She was not worried about Shen Fei running away. In any case, she could see Shen Fei’s life path for the future. Even if Shen Fei really wanted to run, she could make preparations in advance.
“You’re quite big-hearted.” Edward sighed slowly. The worry in his voice did not decrease at all.
Hearing this, Aloy felt a little exasperated. “Father… No matter what, please believe in my judgment. I have my own reasons for choosing Shen Fei. Please support me,”
“But his talent is a little low. Daughter, he’s only an F-class! Your talent is A-class! Even if it’s not for your own sake, consider the Gelin family’s bloodline.”
“Such a person, if he enters our Gelin family, he will definitely pollute the pure blood of our family! I won’t agree to it!”
Lord Gelin looked at his daughter with a pained expression. He had carefully raised Aloy since she was a toddler, and had trained her to be a very outstanding person in all aspects!
‘With my daughter’s taste, how could she have fallen for such a man?’
Looking at her father, who had taken care of her all her life, Aloy suddenly fell silent, and lowered her eyes.
‘This is all for the future, father. Only people like Shen Fei could create the possibility for us to survive the future disaster.’
“The reason why I treated Shen Fei like that before was to encourage him and let him grow properly. Now, Shen Fei no longer needs my encouragement. If you don’t believe me, you can go to our school to get the video of the match. The battle between him and Li Yuan that day was absolutely wonderful.”
“Really?” Lord Gelin was skeptical. “Alright, but for the sake of the family’s reputation, don’t go to his place tonight. As for the spirit fruits, I’ll have someone send them to the Shen family later.”
“Alright.” Aloy nodded. “I’ll follow your arrangements, father.”
…
At this moment, Shen Fei was cultivating non-stop at home. As soon as he got home, he was immersed in the world of cultivation laws, and his cultivation level rose slowly…
