Chapter 77: Dear fiancé, do you still remember?

This voice naturally came from Hall.

He hadn’t made it to the first class, but halfway there, he ran into Lov, who was on her way back from Holy Light University.

Then Lov explained the situation to him.

This left Hall greatly surprised.

‘What’s with this Ye Wangxue? Is she refusing to leave?’

After the stunt he pulled yesterday, she should have run away.

But he calmed his mind. The plot had indeed changed. Plus, Ye Wangxue had seen his face last night and had very likely witnessed him kissing Leticia.

This had caused Ye Wangxue to have her own little plans now.

‘Could it be that she’s directly triggering a psychological state similar to the “breakdown text” in the game?’

Ye Wangxue’s current strength was not like Leticia’s or Lorraine’s, who posed no threat to him.

This was also a heroine with a swordsmanship talent. After a not-so-complicated plot, it could be upgraded. After replenishing mana, she could even reach…

In the game, she, along with Himan and Christine, were considered T0.5 existences when trained as swordmasters.

As a side note, Himan’s initial swordsmanship talent was [A-]. After triggering a key plot point, it would rise to [A], and could also be raised to [A+] through mana replenishment.

Christine’s was [A], which couldn’t be upgraded, but her starting weapon’s stats were ridiculously overpowered.

The Northern Empress was the only one with [S+], right from the start, and she had the invincible Eternal Winter Holy Sword.

As for Hall, he was a natural [S+], and could learn any sword style, including the Demon God’s swordsmanship. Theoretically, he was also [S+], but unfortunately, he couldn’t replenish his own mana and wouldn’t live to the end.

So he was always excluded.

If Ye Wangxue stayed at his house now and decided to turn dark and stab him one night.

It would be truly impossible to defend against. He had to stabilize Ye Wangxue’s mentality first before bringing up the matter of breaking off the engagement.

But then he saw the abnormal human wall on campus.

And then he discovered that the person leading them was the same Young Master Howard that Himan had mentioned a few days ago.

As for the powder lingering in the air, with his proficiency in game knowledge and theology, he also realized what this stuff was.

—Ethereal Spirit Powder.

This was originally something used by clergy during meditation to empty their minds and bodies.

The effect was to make the inhaler lose a portion of their strength, with the effect being stronger the higher their level. It sounded very powerful.

But the method to resist this powder was also quite simple. Just use simple magic to activate the magic circuits in the body.

Unfortunately, Ye Wangxue was an Easterner and specialized in swordsmanship. The deeper magic circuits in her body probably weren’t even open.

In the game, players would also often buy things and go to the Eastern Continent to level up, specifically looking for high-level sword cultivators.

But strangely, he seemed to be immune.

Hall took a few breaths. He hadn’t activated his magic circuits at all, and his body didn’t feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, there was a warmth in his chest.

“Well, well, my dear fiancé. You finally decided to show up?”

Ye Wangxue interrupted Hall’s thoughts.

When she first heard his voice, she was quite happy.

But then she thought about his actions, and she was so angry she wanted to kick Hall in the butt.

But because of the Ethereal Spirit Powder, she had no strength and could only kick Hall’s calf, and the force was very light.

To the onlooking noble children, it looked like the two were flirting.

“Apologize? What should I apologize for? Hall, you might as well make it clear.”

Young Master Howard was a little surprised, but it was no big deal.

So what if Hall showed up?

Could he wash away what had happened yesterday?

“Although I just arrived and didn’t clearly hear what you said to my fiancée, this is a matter for my Faxtius family. It’s not for you to discuss, is it?”

Hall’s gaze swept over everyone present.

Some of the children from baron and viscount families immediately shrank back, afraid he would remember their faces.

The children from earl and marquis families were surprised, but they weren’t…

The most arrogant one was still Lenny.

Lenny was, of course, present today. For three years, since the moment Hall’s reputation collapsed.

He had never seen Hall look like this.

But seeing this scene now, he suddenly remembered the Hall from his childhood.

This guy was just like this.

He had been like this since he was a child.

He seemed to be looking at them, but it was as if he saw them as nothing.

As if they were not people of the same world. He was born unreachable, untouchable.

“What, Lenny, you’re not convinced?”

Hall had long wanted to get rid of him, but unfortunately, this guy had become Young Master Howard’s dog before he could even target Himan.

Today was perfect. He could solve the two mini-boss incidents from the early and mid-stages of Himan’s route at once.

“You abandoned your fiancée for a whole day yesterday, and now you’re jumping out to be the good guy. You’ve got some nerve, Hall. What if I’m not convinced?”

Lenny wasn’t afraid. Anyway, Dylan had his back.

The Howard family’s power was greater than the Faxtius family’s.

In school, Young Master Howard’s reputation was also better than Hall’s.

The other noble young masters also started to jeer.

“Speaking of which, haven’t you all understood my character these past three years? I can be with another woman yesterday, but that doesn’t mean I won’t step up to defend my fiancée today.”

Hall feigned a cold smile.

Perfect. He would directly use his “philandering” persona.

Lenny and his group were immediately rendered speechless.

Seeing Lenny go quiet, Dylan had to step forward himself.

“Hall, you sure can talk. Why don’t you ask the Seventh Princess Ye for her thoughts?”

“Me? Although I’m a little angry with my fiancé, what I want more is for you to kneel before me.”

Ye Wangxue understood the situation clearly.

Besides, she still had to make Hall fall in love with her and then get her revenge on him.

Hall was quite happy.

Good, as long as Ye Wangxue was angry.

But since this peacemaker was on his side, she probably hadn’t turned dark. After he handled this matter for her, they would go back and have a good talk about breaking off the engagement.

Everyone else had an amicable breakup, and he would choose to have an amicable annulment.

“Ye Wangxue, say that again!”

Dylan exploded. As the young master of the Howard family.

An Eastern woman actually dared to tell him to kneel?

And Hall, he actually dared to oppose him in front of so many people for the sake of an Eastern woman.

This was basically equivalent to the two families becoming enemies.

It was not a small matter.

“Didn’t you hear clearly, Dylan?”

It was Hall who answered him, this time calling him by his first name directly.

And his tone was filled with a hint of disdain.

Hall was deliberately provoking Dylan like this. Otherwise, how could he accelerate the plot and make him and Lenny get lost together?

“Hall, you bastard!”

Dylan couldn’t stand it. Actually, like Lenny, he had a bit of a psychological shadow when it came to Hall.

When they were young, they were in the same batch of the Black Knight Order’s reserve. But in those special summer and winter camps, Hall had been far ahead in every course.

He had logically become the first to officially join the Black Knight Order.

Moreover, there was a very beautiful girl in the same batch, who was also very outstanding.

She was recommended by the Child family and was the second in their batch in terms of grades.

That girl was also very close to Hall, so…

The few unconvinced young masters from ducal and marquis families would band together to form an anti-Hall alliance.

“I challenge you to a Knight’s Rite. Do you dare to accept?”

Dylan was confident that Hall, who had not improved at all in the past three years, had long been left behind by him.

He knew the inside story of why Tarasha had lost to Hall. Tarasha had thrown the match, because he was also there that day.

The offensive Hall had shown that day could not possibly win against him now.

But Hall just answered lightly.

“Why don’t you and Lenny come at me together?”
