Undead Mage with No Skill Cooldown - Chapter 553 - 546: Maybe She Secretly Likes Me

Chapter 553: Chapter 546: Maybe She Secretly Likes Me

Hmm?

Lu Ran was stunned.

It was definitely Qin Wuyao’s voice, but what was this about?

Qin Wuyao had someone watching me?

Lu Ran was a bit perplexed.

He and Qin Wuyao weren’t exactly strangers, after all, they were the only two in the academy with spiritual power over one hundred.

The two geniuses revered as peerless twins.

Even though they weren’t close, they were at least ordinary friends.

But for ordinary friends, was this necessary?

Lu Ran continued eating, listening to the conversation next door.

But unfortunately, after Qin Wuyao gave her instructions, she didn’t say anything else.

Lu Ran felt a bit disappointed.

His feelings for Qin Wuyao were different.

After everything they had been through, Lu Ran had long considered Qin Wuyao his most cherished friend.

But for now, Qin Wuyao and Lu Ran weren’t very familiar with each other.

It’s just that her current actions and arrangements seemed a bit strange.

It wasn’t long before the next room finished their meal and fell silent.

Lu Ran had a lot on his mind and lost his appetite to continue eating.

After quickly finishing, Lu Ran left the restaurant.

He went directly to the academy.

The familiar academy, although it had only been more than a month since Lu Ran awakened his profession and left the academy and Black Fire City,

But the feeling of visiting a place again was so peculiar.

As if he hadn’t returned in a very long time.

Just at this moment.

Lu Ran suddenly sensed someone watching him, and when he turned his head instinctively, he saw Qin Wuyao not far away.

She seemed to be passing by, but when she saw Lu Ran, she stopped and looked at him.

Noticed Lu Ran’s gaze came over.

Qin Wuyao then suddenly avoided his gaze, seemingly a bit flustered.

If not for Lu Ran being very familiar with Qin Wuyao, he might not have paid attention to such a thing at all.

But now, something seemed off!

“Before I awakened my profession, was Qin Wuyao already paying attention to me?” Lu Ran thought in astonishment.

Recalling how after awakening, Qin Wuyao stood up for him, later helping him get introduced to the Four Major Unions and join the Celestial Path Alliance.

Even a fool could sense the implications at this point.

“Could it be… Qin Wuyao has been noticing me for a long time? Could she have liked me all along? Has she been secretly in love with me?” Lu Ran thought, a bit full of himself.

But it’s hard to draw a conclusion on this matter.

He originally thought to go over and say hi to Qin Wuyao, to probe her thoughts.

But Qin Wuyao had already moved from her original spot and walked away.

Lu Ran shrugged.

A bit confused, but it didn’t matter much; the two would eventually become friends, that was an undeniable fact.

Even according to the original timeline, it would inevitably develop that way.

However.

Before that, Lu Ran still needed to deal with another matter.

Because just as Lu Ran was about to leave, he suddenly saw another familiar person.

Wang Yujiao!

Seeing Wang Yujiao, Lu Ran’s eyes immediately turned cold.

Betrayal is unforgivable.

Moreover.

At this moment, Wang Yujiao was just walking in from outside the academy.

Her posture was a bit odd, walking as if bow-legged, and her pace was slow.

In the past, Lu Ran wouldn’t have thought much, maybe even considered that Wang Yujiao might be feeling unwell.

But thinking about it now, she might have just been filled to the brim by Liang Shaoyu!

She had been paving her future since before the profession awakening.

And Liang Shaoyu was the perfect stepping stone!

At the same time.

Wang Yujiao also saw Lu Ran, and after a flicker of panic across her face, she actually changed direction and walked toward Lu Ran.

Lu Ran originally thought Wang Yujiao intended to be upfront with him about the situation a day early, unlike last time.

But that was not the case.

“Lu Ran, what a coincidence, I didn’t see you this morning, where did you go?” Wang Yujiao asked with a sweet smile.

Her face full of a sweet smile.

Causing Lu Ran to feel a bit momentarily confused.

What’s going on?

According to the original storyline, by now Wang Yujiao would surely have been completely tied to Liang Shaoyu.

Wouldn’t even her shape be molded to Liang Shaoyu’s by now?

What was this about now?

Two-timing?

No, that’s not it!

Lu Ran suddenly realized the key point.

Right now, Lu Ran hadn’t awakened his profession yet; he was still the academy’s number one genius.

Still a peerless genius with spiritual power as high as 130!

A genius who might awaken an extraordinarily powerful hidden profession!

Wang Yujiao wouldn’t easily give up such an opportunity to rise to power like a phoenix.

This was a double insurance!

The path with Liang Shaoyu was already paved; this was evident from Wang Yujiao’s walking posture.

But Liang Shaoyu had his limits after all.

The Liang Family was just that, merely a minor family at best.

If Lu Ran could awaken a heaven-defying profession and join the Celestial Path Alliance, achieving great success wasn’t a dream!

That was Wang Yujiao’s biggest backup plan!

In other words.

Lu Ran was the spare, the double insurance Wang Yujiao set up!

Thinking of this, Lu Ran was even more speechless, even feeling a little disgusted.

“Lu Ran, why so quiet, where did you go this morning, I missed you,” Wang Yujiao said coyly.

As she spoke, she shook Lu Ran’s arm.

But Lu Ran’s gaze was incredibly cold.

He said blandly, “I went out for breakfast, what about you?”

“Me? Nothing much, just wandering around,” Wang Yujiao shrugged, speaking casually.

Liar!

Lu Ran could see through her immediately.

It was so obvious!

But in the past, Lu Ran would’ve been oblivious; hearing Wang Yujiao sweet-talk about missing him would’ve probably made him faint with happiness on the spot!

But not anymore.

Lu Ran exhaled a long breath and said, “Were you with Liang Shaoyu?”

“What? Lu Ran, you… you…” Wang Yujiao was taken aback, staring at Lu Ran in surprise.

The hand holding Lu Ran’s arm also tightened suddenly.

This reaction proved that Lu Ran’s suspicion was correct.

Lu Ran sneered.

He said, “What, can’t understand what I’m saying? You missed me? Did you think of me when you were having fun with Liang Shaoyu? Hmm?”

Lu Ran wasn’t holding back at all now.

“Didn’t you spend all night with Liang Shaoyu? Is that guy that enduring? You quite have the stamina, sacrificing so much for your future,” Lu Ran said with undisguised disdain.

Wang Yujiao bit her lip slightly and said, “Lu Ran, I don’t know where you heard these things, but you’re wrong. I didn’t do anything; how could I…”

Lu Ran didn’t even bother to reply.

He just watched Wang Yujiao with a teasing smile.

The latter wanted to continue explaining.

But seeing Lu Ran’s expression, she suddenly deflated.

Her tone became much calmer.

She said, “I need to plan for my future, is that wrong? I have no status or background, and if tomorrow I awaken a weak profession, my life is ruined!”
