Suddenly, Shui Yue'er, who had been staring at Shui Bing'er with a lovestruck expression, looked at the Plant Academy as if she had remembered something, and looked at Shui Bing'er with excitement.
He grabbed Shui Bing'er's arm with his hands covering his face and said to her expectantly:
"Bing'er, do you still remember when Aunt Li Qin from the College of Botany came to Tianshui College for an exchange a few years ago?"
Looking at Shui Yue'er with a puzzled expression, Shui Bing'er said:
"Moon, why are you bringing this up? Of course I remember that academy exchange. It just so happened that I had just awakened my martial soul when I met the senior students from the Plant Academy who came to exchange ideas."
"Back then, Uncle Musheng and Aunt Liqin from the College of Botany talked with my parents for a long time."
Hearing that Shui Bing'er still remembered this, Shui Yue'er became even more excited, and her fair face flushed slightly.
He said hurriedly, "Do you still remember what Dad and Uncle Musheng said back then?"
"What did I say? Let me think... Yue'er, you!"
Dragged into memories by Shui Yue'er's words, Shui Bing'er suddenly blushed and raised her hand to slap Shui Yue'er.
This unusual phenomenon immediately caught the attention of the girls in the group, who curiously asked, "What's going on, Bing'er? Tell us quickly!"
Seeing the eager expressions on the faces of her fellow girls in the group, Shui Bing'er's face grew increasingly red. Finally, she turned her head away and stopped looking at them, saying something somewhat shyly.
"It's nothing, please don't ask anymore."
Seeing Shui Bing'er like this, Xue Wu, Shen Liuyu, and the other women became even more curious about what Shui Yue'er had said.
After all, Shui Bing'er always had a haughty and aloof demeanor in the academy, and it was rare to see her in such a girlish state.
Seeing that they couldn't get any more information from Shui Bing'er, several pairs of beautiful eyes immediately turned to the excited Shui Yue'er beside them.
When Shuiyue saw that her friends were all looking at her, she immediately raised her snow-white chin and said, "Ahem, this all started when Dad and Uncle Musheng were having dinner."
"My dad and uncle were both drunk at the time, and as they were talking, the conversation turned to Bing'er and Uncle Musheng's son."
"Bing'er's martial soul, the Ice Phoenix, is a mutation of her family's martial soul, the Water Condensing Flying Luan, and has an innate soul power of level nine."
After saying this, she glanced at Mu Ci in the crowd, her face slightly flushed.
"And Uncle Mu Sheng's son, Mu Ci, also has a martial soul that is a mutation of the family's martial soul, the Abundant Jianmu, and his innate soul power is also level nine."
"When we got to this point, my dad said it was such a coincidence that we would never have two people who looked so alike in this generation."
"Why don't our two families become in-laws?"
After he finished speaking, neither of the two families had any objections.
However, Uncle Musheng said that this wasn't fair to the two children, and that if they got along well after meeting, the two families would settle the matter.
Before Shui Yue'er could continue speaking, Shui Bing'er, her pretty face flushed red, covered her mouth.
However, it was too late. After all that had been said, the women present had already understood.
They all surrounded Shui Bing'er, teasing her with their own words.
However, the more composed Xue Wu said to everyone, "Look, they're almost done talking."
"Let's go and meet Bing'er's fiancé!"
-
In the square, Xue Qinghe and Mu Changsheng and Mu Ci talked for a long time.
Suddenly, Xue Qinghe gently patted his forehead and chuckled apologetically:
"It would be extremely impolite to receive Your Majesty in the square. Please, Your Majesty, move to the reception room. Many deans are waiting there."
Xue Qinghe bowed to Mu Changsheng, inviting him to come over, then turned to Mu Ci and smiled, "I wonder if Brother Mu Ci..."
Mu Ci quickly interrupted, "I won't go. I still need to introduce my team to the other teams."
But in his heart he thought: Just kidding, those places are full of deans from all over the country, and those who are close to my family are my elders. Why would I go there, just to be teased?
Mu Changsheng looked at Xue Qinghe, nodded, and then smiled at his old friends, saying, "Then I'll trouble you, members of the Education Committee, to lead the way for me and His Highness the Crown Prince."
Upon hearing Mu Changsheng's words, Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and the others all looked displeased, as if to say, "You old codger, you start putting on airs now that you've become a Title Douluo."
However, the group still walked ahead, leading the way for the two.
Several teams nearby saw His Highness the Crown Prince leading the Eternal Douluo to the reception room and came forward to get to know Mu Ci.
Among them, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang from Blazing Fire Academy walked the fastest.
Huo Wu strode quickly to Mu Ci with her long, slender legs, a smile on her face, and looked at Mu Ci, saying:
"Little brother, it's been a long time! I wonder if you still remember that promise from back then?"
As he spoke, he carefully examined Mu Ci, whom he hadn't seen for many years. Compared to the handsome little boy he had met in his childhood, Mu Ci was now tall and handsome.
Mu Ci was also looking at Huo Wu in front of her. Her long, slender legs, waist-length hair, and delicate face made her a stunningly beautiful woman. A look of amazement flashed in her eyes.
They couldn't help but marvel at how quickly Douluo Continent had developed.
Hearing Huo Wu's words, he recalled that chance encounter outside the Star Dou Great Forest years ago, and that childhood prank promise.
Thinking of this, Mu Ci smiled and said to Huo Wu, "Of course I remember, but the agreement at the time was to compete in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament."
"We can't make it to this year's session, but there are still several years before the next session starts. What, does Miss Fire Dance want to start now?"
Upon hearing that Mu Ci still remembered, Huo Wu raised her eyebrows, a slight smile playing on her lips, and a fighting spirit flashed in her eyes as she said:
"Of course, there's no time like the present. Since we've met at this exchange meeting, let's settle this once and for all, which will also bring that agreement to a close."
"And me too. If you want to fight my sister, you'll have to get past me first." Huo Wushuang stood next to Huo Wu, thumping his chest loudly.
"Of course, no problem. Isn't the purpose of this exchange meeting to get to know everyone?"
Mu Ci smiled as she looked at the two siblings. Over the years, Huo Wu had grown increasingly beautiful, and Huo Wushuang had also taken a resemblance to their father.
While they were still talking...
Chapter 30 Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er
At Tianshui Academy, Shui Yue'er was still tugging at Shui Bing'er's arm, trying to pull her over.
"Big sister, if you don't take the initiative, your brother-in-law will be snatched away."
Shui Yue'er looked at Mu Ci, who was chatting happily with Huo Wu not far away, and felt extremely anxious.
Actually, she brought Shui Bing'er over because of another idea in her heart.
She and Shui Bing'er are half-sisters, while her mother and Shui Bing'er's mother are biological sisters.
Similarly, if Shui Bing'er and Mu Ci got together, wouldn't it be possible for her, as the sister-in-law, to take things a step further?
Shui Yue'er felt a surge of excitement just thinking about it, and she tightened her grip on Shui Bing'er's hand even more.
Meanwhile, Xue Wu and the others nearby were also egging her on, not only not stopping her, but also grinning mischievously along with Shui Yue'er.
Mu Ci, Huo Wu, and the others who were chatting also noticed the Tianshui Academy team pushing and shoving towards them.
They stopped talking and turned their gaze over.
Mu Ci watched as the beautiful women of Tianshui jostled and pushed each other, and the scenery was indeed beautiful, with a dazzling array of flowers.
"Hello, I am Shui Bing'er, the captain of the Tianshui team. It's nice to meet you."
With a blush on her face, Shui Bing'er realized she couldn't avoid it, so she broke free from Shui Yue'er's grasp and elegantly introduced herself to Mu Ci.
"Hello, Captain Shui Bing'er, I am Mu Ci, and I am now the captain of the Plant Team." Mu Ci smiled and returned the greeting.
To be honest, he really liked Shui Bing'er when he read the book in his previous life.
With her talent alone, Shui Bing'er nearly shattered Tang San's Dao Heart on the battlefield, even though he had consumed several immortal herbs. At that time, Shui Bing'er was only a little over a year older than Tang San.
Even without considering the bonus from immortal herbs, Shui Bing'er's talent ranks at least in the top five among the younger generation of geniuses in Douyi.
He could be described as the pride of the Douyi era, but unfortunately, there was almost no more description of Shui Bing'er in the later chapters, which made him very sad.
Now that she had met the real person, Mu Ci felt that the beauty described in the book was less than a tenth of the real person's: long, flowing blue and white hair, fair skin, and beautiful, icy blue eyes.
At first glance, she may not seem stunning, but the more you look, the more you'll discover a hazy beauty about Shui Bing'er.
Looking at Mu Ci's warm smile, Shui Bing'er, who was already a little shy, blushed even more on her fair face and lowered her head slightly.
"Brother-in-law, look at me! I am Shuiyue'er."
"Moon!"
Shui Yue'er, who was originally behind Shui Bing'er, couldn't wait to jump out after the two got to know each other.
She waved enthusiastically to Mu Ci, but before she could continue speaking, Shui Bing'er covered her mouth.
Mu Ci wanted to respond, but Shui Yue'er's address of "brother-in-law" caught him off guard.
He had long known that Shuiyue'er was a seasoned beauty enthusiast, on par with Meng Hongchen ten thousand years later.
With her celestial body optimized by the power of abundance, calling him "husband" upon meeting was all within Mu Ci's expectations, but calling him "brother-in-law" was something she really didn't expect.
"Miss Moon, you can't just call her that, it will damage Captain Ice's reputation."
However, Shui Yue'er used all her strength to dodge Shui Bing'er's jade-like hand, puffed out her small chest, and said to Mu Ci with a righteous indignation:
"I'm not making this up, this is an agreement between Uncle Musheng and my dad."
"Cough cough!"
When Mu Ci heard her father's name from Shui Yue'er, she couldn't hold back anymore and hurriedly asked Shui Yue'er for details.
“Miss Moon, please tell me in detail. I’ve never heard my family mention this before.”
After that, Shui Yue'er repeated what she had told her girlfriends to Mu Ci.
Listening to Shuiyue'er's explanation, Mu Ci finally understood the specific situation and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
He thought his father had arranged the marriage for him without informing him.
Seeing Mu Ci like this, Shui Bing'er couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Although they had only just met, she actually had a good impression of Mu Ci. He was good-looking, and his talent matched hers perfectly. Everything about him was wonderful.
Perhaps she wouldn't fall in love at first sight like Shui Yue'er, but if she could be with Mu Ci in the future, she wouldn't feel any resistance.
Thinking of this, Shui Bing'er couldn't help but blurt out, "Captain Mu Ci, do you think there's something wrong with me?"
Shui Bing'er's words gave Mu Ci a headache. As a lifelong single in her previous life, she had never been in a relationship in this life either, and she really didn't know how to answer.
