Huang Yuxin closed her eyes and waited for Tenku's following action with nervousness and expectation. But the mood was shattered when she heard rustling bushes and someone's voice.
"What are you two doing in this place!?" The one who appeared from behind the bushes was Wang Ruyue, and she looked at the two people with cold eyes.
Tenku and Huang Yuxin quickly got up from the ground when they saw her. Huang Yuxin tidied up her wrinkled clothes and put on her veil that accidentally slipped off her face. Her actions made Wang Ruyue's eyes darken with misunderstanding.
"I came to your room, but you weren't there. I tried to call you, but your smartphone is off. I looked for you everywhere because I was worried something bad might happen to you. But it seems my feelings were in vain because you were enjoying your time with Huang Yuxin in this place! It would be best if you told me you had such a relationship with her. So I won't disturb your precious time." Wang Ruyue said with a hoarse voice and watery eyes. She looked like she could cry at any moment.
"Could you not jump to conclusions too quickly? Can't you hear my explanation first? It's not too late to be mad at me after you heard my story." Tenku sighed and felt helpless when he saw that Huang Ruyua was about to cry. He was better off fighting sixth-level monsters than facing such a situation.
"What else do you want to explain!? I've seen it with my own eyes. You pushed Huang Yuxin to the ground and intended to… intended to..." Wang Ruyue's face turned red, and she was too embarrassed to continue her words.
Wang Ruyue recalled the scene when Tenku fell on top of Huang Yuxin, and they were so close. She thought that Tenku pushed Huang Yuxin and was planning to do something indecent in that place. Wang Ruyue became even sadder when she remembered about it.
"Intention for what? Are you thinking something indecent? Do you think I am that kind of person in your eyes?" Tenku sighed and looked disappointed after he heard Wang Ruyue's words.
"No! I did not mean it! I could only think of that when I saw you lying down with Huang Yuxin beneath you. If you weren't pushing her intending to do something indecent, then why did you do it?" Huang Ruyue lowered her head and gripped the hem of her clothes tightly.
"In that case, you should listen to my explanation before jumping to conclusions. After that, you will understand what happened here. Isn't that right, Miss Huang?" Tenku looked at Huang Yuxin and asked her to help convince Wang Ruyue.
Wang Ruyue raised her head and looked at Huang Yuxin. She wanted to know if they were making out or just a misunderstanding. Wang Ruyue had known Huang Yuxin for a long time and knew her character quite well. She wasn't a liar and would be found out immediately by her expression if she did.
"Nn." Huang Yuxin nodded reluctantly. She didn't want to give Wang Ruyue an explanation because the misunderstanding would benefit her. If she wants Tenku to be her fake boyfriend, she has to keep him away from the girls around him. But Huang Yuxin couldn't refuse Tenku's request because she would look like a cunning and evil girl in his eyes.
Wang Ruyue's face brightened when she got the answer from Huang Yuxin, and she knew that the girl was telling the truth. She wiped the tears that were about to fall from the corner of her eyes and smiled. Wang Ruyue's expression had returned to the usual her. Then she turned her gaze to Tenku.
"Then what exactly happened to you? How did you guys end up in that position?" Wang Ruyue asked. She was sure there was nothing between them, but she still wanted to know the truth and what they were doing in that place.
"I'll keep it short, so we don't waste too much time here. After visiting Wang Xin at the infirmary…" Tenku told her what had happened after he left the treatment facility.
The story begins with him taking a walk to relieve his boredom and accidentally comes across Huang Yuxin, practicing swordsmanship. After that, Tenku had a sparring match against Huang Yuxin. But there was an accident in the middle of their fight, and both fell into that position.
Tenku skipped the part about his chat with Huang Yuxin about her purpose of participating in the martial arts competition because it wasn't something he could casually share with others without permission.
"I understand. So Yuxin stumbled, and you forcibly canceled your attacks to avoid hitting her. But you lost your balance and fell with her." Wang Ruyue sighed in relief.
She felt guilty for accusing Tenku without hearing his explanation first. But on the other hand, she was jealous that Huang Yuxin could spend time sparring with him. Wang Ruyue had never even practiced with Tenku, even though he was her grandfather's disciple.
"Yes." Tenku confirmed Wang Ruyue's words, and Huang Yuxin nodded in response. He wasn't as good as when he was alone with Tenku. Huang Yuxin returned to being a shy girl who found socializing difficult.
"Then, I apologize for my previous accusation. I'm sorry I said that out of anger." Wang Ruyue looked at the two people in front of her and bowed gracefully.
(Why do you have to be angry? You're not his mother, wife, or girlfriend. Why are you unhappy when Tenku is close to another woman? What's your problem with that?)
Huan Yuxin grumbled in her heart. She didn't dare to say it directly to Wang Ruyue. Huang Yuxin could only look at her in displeasure.
"You don't need to think about that. By the way, why are you looking for me? Did your grandfather ask you to check on me again?" Tenku tried to divert their conversation because she didn't want Wang Ruyue to feel guilty about the matter.
"No. Grandpa didn't ask me to check you into your room, but I did it on my initiative. I remembered Elder Jin's warning, and I was worried about you. I came to your room to make sure you were there. But I didn't get a reply after knocking on your door several times, and I couldn't reach you via your smartphone. I thought you weren't in your room and were out for a walk. Therefore, I immediately looked for you." Wang Ruyue explained.
Tenku raised his eyebrows and immediately took out his smartphone from his pocket. He did not know that his smartphone had been off. Tenku forgot that he promised to tell Setsuka after his business was over. No wonder he doesn't get any incoming messages or calls on his smartphone.
"I'm sorry. It seems my smartphone is off because it ran out of battery. I forgot to recharge it yesterday." Tenku smiled bitterly and showed Wang Ruyue his smartphone.
pαпdα-ňᴏνê|·сóМ "No wonder I can't contact you." Wang Ruyue looked at the dark screen of Tenku's smartphone and nodded.
"Then how did you find me here?" Tenku was confused as to how Wang Ruyue could find him. She should have looked for him in the valley where they had spent time together yesterday instead of that place.
"I want to look for you to the valley where we spent time together last night. But on the way, I heard a noise from this place. I thought it was the sound of battle. So I checked here for fear that it was you. After that, you already know what happened next." Wang Ruyue said excitedly, emphasizing her voice on the words, "we spent time together last night".
(What!? Did they spend time together last night? What were they doing at that hour? Were these two in a special relationship? No! From Tenku's attitude towards her, I could confidently say that these two weren't dating. So Wang Ruyue was exaggerating her words. They spend time together just as friends)
Huang Yuxin shook her head and threw away the thought. As a potential fake boyfriend, Huang Yuxin couldn't allow Tenku to have a relationship with another woman. Otherwise, her mother would not believe it and would be angry when Huang Yuxin introduced Tenku to her.
"I see. Then, shall we return to the building now? It's getting late, and you should get some rest for tomorrow's match." Tenku suggested. He didn't have anything else to do in that place, and he wasn't in the mood to continue sightseeing.
"Yes. Let's go back. I'm tired from today's match." Wang Ruyue nodded in agreement. She felt sleepy after visiting Wang Xin at the infirmary. But Wang Ruyue worried for Tenku and forced her eyes to stay awake because she wanted to look for him outside.
"Okay." Huang Yuxin answered briefly and took Tenku's jacket that she had put under the tree. Then she put it on in front of Wang Ruyue. Huang Yuxin deliberately looked at her and smiled provocatively.
"That is..." Wang Ruyue frowned because she was sure that the jacket belonged to Tenku. He had worn it before, and Wang Ruyue remembered it very well. She only noticed that Tenku had taken off his jacket. Wang Ruyue wanted to know why the jacket was on Huang Yuxin. But before she could ask, Tenku spoke first.
"I lent it to Miss Huang because her clothes got wet." Tenku didn't want Wang Ruyue to misunderstand him again. Even though their relationship is just friendship, it would be troublesome if that girl got mad at him. Moreover, Tenku would be lectured by Wang Haotian if that old man found out that his granddaughter was angry with him.
On the other hand, Wang Ruyue saw Huang Yuxin's sexy body, which was exposed because of her wet clothes. He pouted, thinking the girl was trying to seduce Tenku with her body. Wang Ruyue didn't expect the timid Huang Yuxin to do such a thing.
"Ooh... I understand. He also gave me his jacket after returning from the Wang family banquet. It was the first time we spent time together after getting to know each other." Wang Ruyue smiled back because she didn't want to lose to Huang Yuxin.
"Okay. Let's go back now." Tenku sighed and massaged his forehead. He didn't want to stay in that place any longer with the two girls and stand between their invisible battle. It was more tiring than fighting in the arena and being surrounded by twelve cultivators.
"Yes!" Huang Yuxin and Wang Ruyue answered in unison. Tenku sighed once again and quickly left the place. The two girls chased after Tenku, and each walked by his side. After that, their figures slowly disappeared under the moonlight.
