Xi Ya watched Feili’s friendly smile and immediately sensed trouble.
Damn it, don’t come over here!
If you come over, won’t you bring Di Lun along too?
Xi Ya cursed inwardly, turned back to look at the commission letter, and tried to pretend he didn’t know Feili, but Feili clearly had no intention of letting him off the hook.
“Oh? Xi Ya? Dailina? You two are here too.”
Feili pretended to just notice them, deliberately calling out in a surprised tone before naturally walking over to their side.
“Did you just finish a commission as well?”
“Feili? Um, yes, we just got back.”
Dailina smiled and responded to her.
Feili chuckled, then shifted her gaze to Xi Ya.
Seeing that he still had his back to her with no intention of turning around, she switched to a coaxing tone.
“Hmm~ Xi Ya, why aren’t you paying attention to me?”
That tone made Xi Ya’s skin crawl.
He turned around and said irritably, “Oh, it’s Feili. Is something the matter?”
This Female Sea King probably spotted them ages ago and deliberately waited until now to come over.
“Nothing much, it’s just that earlier Xi Ya clearly saw me but didn’t bother to say hello. I think you’re being so cold~”
Feili said this with feigned sadness, even raising a hand to wipe at her eyes.
Ha, putting on a Tea Art performance now, are we?
Sorry, I don’t drink tea.
“Feili, I think you must be mistaken.”
Xi Ya sighed as he spoke, putting on a helpless expression.
“I actually really wanted to go say hello, but someone seemed deeply immersed in a passionate conversation with another noble young master. The two of you appeared to be enjoying each other’s company so much that I couldn’t bear to interrupt.”
“Oh my~”
Feili stopped wiping her eyes, a faint smile curling at the corner of her lips.
“Could it be that Xi Ya saw me talking with Young Master Di Lun and got jealous?”
“Pfft!”
Xi Ya nearly choked on his own saliva.
How could this Female Sea King be such a Shrimp Head?
He was only slightly annoyed before, but now he genuinely couldn’t hold it together anymore.
“Goodness, what nonsense is Feili talking about?”
He held his forehead and muttered quietly under his breath: “Sigh~ Hopeless.”
“Did you hit your head while doing your commission? Want me to contact a Priest at the Academy and have them fix your brain?”
Seeing that Feili didn’t respond, Xi Ya continued his assault:
“Do you know the Three Great Illusions of Life? Feili’s symptoms match one of them perfectly, and that is ‘Does he like me?’ Sigh~”
“Feili, I know you might have a tiny little bit of narcissism, but sorry, you’re a good person. I have absolutely zero interest in you.”
Xi Ya put on an apologetic expression and directly handed Feili a Good Person Card.
But Feili didn’t seem angry at all.
In fact, she smiled even more brightly.
“So Xi Ya can be this heartless, huh? I’m so sad~”
Saying you’re sad while smiling?
Yeah, I totally believe that.
“It’s okay…”
Feili stopped right there.
It’s okay, and then what?
Xi Ya was full of question marks.
Could you just finish your sentence?
He hated Riddle People who only spoke halfway more than anything.
He stared at Feili’s smiling face, wondering what she was really plotting.
Although he knew this Female Sea King was always this two-faced and loved cracking these kinds of jokes before, something felt very off.
Ten out of ten wrong, no, eleven out of ten wrong.
Ever since he “confessed” about the Demon God incident, he noticed Feili’s attitude toward him had done a complete one-eighty.
It even made him wonder if he hadn’t transformed back and was talking to her as Duoluolisi.
Whatever, he couldn’t be bothered to keep tangling with her.
He still had this commission to worry about.
Di Lun swaggered over, his anxious expression from getting shut down by Feili instantly switching to contempt.
“Oh, isn’t this the dead weight of the Elite Class?”
Xi Ya shot a sideways glance at Feili.
She was the one who brought Di Lun over.
Damn her.
“What’s this? A commoner like you actually took a commission?”
Di Lun arrogantly propped his elbow on the Registration Desk, then glanced at the coarse cloth clothes Xi Ya had newly bought in town, and let out a laugh.
“Oh? Even changed your clothes, huh? Where’s your old uniform? Got torn to shreds? Don’t tell me you failed your commission and came crawling back with your tail between your legs?”
As he spoke, he glanced at the commission letter on the registration desk.
Seeing that it was a B-rank Quest, his eyes widened slightly.
“Heh heh~ A B-rank Quest? You, the dead weight, actually dared to accept a B-rank Quest?”
Xi Ya didn’t really want to argue with Di Lun, but this kind of villain was like a fly that just had to land right on your face.
You had no choice but to swat it.
“Young Master Di Lun, you care about me so much that I’m almost touched.”
He turned to face Di Lun, a fake smile plastered on his face.
“But, have you finished your own commission? And you’re here worrying about others?”
Xi Ya had no intention of waiting for Di Lun to start nitpicking his commission.
As the saying went, offense was the best defense, so he directly turned the topic onto Di Lun.
“Ha, of course I finished mine. Did you not see me coming over to turn it in? Do you think I’m like some commoner who can’t even complete a simple commission?”
“Is that so? Then I’m a bit curious. What commission did Young Master Di Lun take?”
Xi Ya opened his eyes wide with curiosity.
“You want to see my commission? Fine, I’ll let this commoner feast his eyes today.”
Di Lun seemed pleased by Xi Ya’s curious expression.
He slapped his commission letter down on the registration desk with a loud smack, loud enough that the Senior Student manning the desk furrowed his brow slightly.
Xi Ya leaned in, examining the paper with a show of seriousness.
“Wow, it’s a C-class Commission. Let me see what the task is.”
He briefly scanned the contents of the commission letter and recognized it as the easiest C-class Commission among the Game options.
It was easy to complete, took the least time, and was the kind of task you could finish with your feet tied behind your back.
But it also had the lowest reward, the kind you’d only pick when playing on the easiest difficulty.
“Looks pretty simple…”
Xi Ya nodded, then suddenly changed his tone.
“Hey, wait a minute. Young Master Di Lun, I remember we set out on the same day, right?”
“Oh? You commoner have a decent memory. So what?”
Di Lun raised an eyebrow.
“I also remember you went with those two followers of yours, right?”
Xi Ya pressed.
“Yeah.”
Di Lun leaned against the registration desk, unsure where Xi Ya was going with this.
“That’s strange then. Young Master Di Lun, you brought two followers, and with three people, it still took you five days to finish such a simple C-class Commission?”
Xi Ya opened his mouth in exaggerated shock.
The students lingering around to watch started whispering among themselves.
“Three people took five days?”
“I think I’ve seen that commission before. Couldn’t one person finish it in two days?”
“And he’s showing that off? What a loser?”
Di Lun instantly realized he’d been trapped.
Flustered, he scrambled to explain to the crowd:
“I-It didn’t take me five days! It was those two who were too slow! I finished mine on the second day and spent the rest of the time waiting for them!”
