After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 268 Two Beauties Compete for Attention

"Brother, how did you manage to do that? Why did they agree to let you borrow books but not let me go to their library?" Zhong Wei kept asking.

Shen Xu never expected that Zhong Wei would still be waiting for him on the first floor after he had been in the library for so long.

This guy is definitely a very difficult one to deal with.

"I don't know either. You can ask them. I was just asking out of curiosity," Shen Xu explained casually.

"If I had asked and you said yes, I wouldn't have waited for you to come out. Oh well, meeting is fate, how about I treat you to a meal?"

Shen Xu was somewhat tempted by the suggestion, as he had not yet tried the local specialties since arriving in Yunyang, the capital city.

But he still needed to find Xiao Si to arrange a meeting place for tomorrow. He wanted to finish things in Yunyang Kingdom as soon as possible, and then go find the Qiling White Crane or a way to return to the True Origin Continent.

"Brother Zhong, it's not that I intentionally refused you, but I also have another purpose for coming here to visit my younger sister who just started school."

But I don't know where she lives, and it's getting late, so I have to hurry and find her." Shen Xu declined Zhong Wei's suggestion.

"Yunyang Academy is so big, where are you going to find it if you don't know anyone here?"

“What’s your sister’s name? I know a lot of female students at the academy, and there aren’t many new students enrolled recently. With my help, I’m sure we can find your sister quickly, and then we can all have a meal together,” Zhong Wei said generously.

"This guy is really outgoing!" Shen Xu's lips twitched.

However, with Zhong Wei's help, he could indeed save a lot of time and also enjoy the specialties of Yunyang Capital, which was a win-win situation, except that his ears would suffer.

"Her name is Xiao Si, she's from the Xiao family in Fumo City, and she just started school two days ago."

“Fumo City? Brother, aren’t you surnamed Shen? How come you have a sister surnamed Xiao?” Zhong Wei asked with some confusion.

“She’s not my biological sister. Her mother asked me to take care of her before she passed away, and I agreed.”

I recently heard she went to the capital, so I was thinking of taking her around the capital tomorrow, and also to fulfill my brotherly duty.

"You haven't met her yet, have you?" Zhong Wei immediately became alert.

"Brother Zhong, you don't need to worry, Xiao Si knows me." Seeing Zhong Wei's reaction, Shen Xu couldn't help but laugh. This guy does have some sense of caution.

"That's good. I'll take you to where the girls live."

Zhong Wei also breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't bring the female students from the academy to a stranger, even if he had a good impression of the stranger.

Shen Xu, however, was somewhat worried. He had forgotten that he was currently transforming his appearance, and Xiao Si might not recognize him.

He needed to come up with a way to make Xiao Si immediately realize that he was Shen Xu.

……

"Brother Zhong, this doesn't seem to be the first time you've done something like this!"

Looking at Zhong Wei, who was preparing to sneak him into the women's residential area of ​​Yunyang Academy, Shen Xu felt that he shouldn't have trusted this unreliable guy in the first place.

"Practice makes perfect, and this is the fastest way to get things done. Otherwise, we'd have to wait a long time for those girls to come out," Zhong Wei said in a low voice.

"It seems you are indeed very experienced." Shen Xu had to admit that Zhong Wei's words made a lot of sense.

"But is it really okay for us to just walk over like this?" Looking at the various girls around him who were giving him strange looks, even he, a seasoned veteran, was a little overwhelmed.

"What are you afraid of! With me here, no one will dare to do anything to you!"

"Zhong Wei!!" Just after Zhong Wei finished speaking, a sharp female voice rang out from afar.

Zhong Wei picked at his ear and said to Shen Xu, "This is the person we're looking for. So instead of actively looking for girls, it's better to let the girls come to you; that'll be faster."

Shen Xu was both amused and exasperated; so this was what the guy was planning.

"How many times have I told you? Is this a place you can just walk into? And this time you even brought another man with you. Do you think this is your home?"

"If you dare come in again, I'll break your third leg!" A girl in a purple dress stormed up to Zhong Wei.

"A member of the royal family? As expected, Zhong Wei's background is not simple."

"I need to talk to you about something. My friend here wants to see his sister. Can you help him out?" Zhong Wei didn't pay any attention to the girl's words.

"Why should I help you?"

"Then I'll go find someone else."

"If you dare go to that vixen, I'll tear her face to shreds!" The girl in the purple dress seemed to have thought of something, and said viciously with a ferocious expression.

For some reason, even though the girl in the purple dress wasn't targeting him, Shen Xu still felt a tremor in his heart, and Li Xiaoyi's sword strike resurfaced in his mind.

No! He's too close to Li Xiaoyi right now; he needs to get further away! Shen Xu's heart started racing.

“Then I’ll help my friend out,” Zhong Wei said emotionlessly.

Shen Xu looked at Zhong Wei with some surprise. He really didn't expect that Zhong Wei would be willing to get involved in such a chaotic situation for his sake.

That was someone he couldn't avoid even if he were incredibly powerful.

"Young man, what's your sister's name? Wei-ge's friend is my friend, I'll definitely help you find her." At this moment, a graceful figure walked out from outside the crowd to Zhong Wei's side.

“Yin Susu, this is none of your business. Zhong Wei is here to see me. I can find your sister's name much faster than she can!” the girl in the purple dress retorted defiantly.

"Zhong Wei, was this within your expectations?" Shen Xu asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry about those two. Finding your sister and then we can go out to eat together is the important thing." Zhong Wei was clearly very impatient with the situation.

Shen Xu couldn't help but admire Zhong Wei's composure in the face of this situation; he himself would have panicked long ago.

"Her name is Xiao Si, she is from the Xiao family of Fumo City, and she just enrolled in school two days ago."

Just tell her that her brother, surnamed Shen, will be waiting for her at the entrance of the academy tomorrow morning.

"By the way, my younger sister is a bit timid, so please don't scare her," Shen Xu reminded the two girls.

"Why wait until tomorrow? Didn't we say we'd go out to eat together?" Zhong Wei asked, somewhat puzzled.

"You two go and fetch Xiao Si. We'll go out for a casual meal together," Zhong Wei instructed the two women.

"Really?" The girl in the purple dress looked delighted. "But could you please not bring this vixen with you?"

"I'm already so happy that Brother Wei is thinking of me. Since Princess Fangyi doesn't want me to dine with Brother Wei, I'll just not go," Yin Susu said softly, her voice full of pitiful charm.

"What are you saying! It's my treat, not hers. I said you have to go, so you have to go!" Zhong Wei said domineeringly.

"Brother Wei... I will definitely find Sister Xiao as soon as possible." Yin Susu looked at Zhong Wei with deep affection, bowed gracefully to the two of them, and then walked out of the crowd.

"What a show-off! I'll definitely find Xiao Si before she does, just you wait and see!" Duan Fangyi said disdainfully as he watched Yin Susu's retreating figure, and then quickly left the crowd.

"They're not even in the same league! Princess, you've lost completely!" Shen Xu thought to himself.
