Chapter 154 Fool, I'm Not an Idiot
Falling into the water means that Xu Sanshi will have to leave this matchmaking event.
Even in the instant before he fell into the water, the tears in his eyes did not diminish.
A man doesn't easily shed tears, unless he's truly heartbroken.
However, he was right about everything from beginning to end. But he never realized that love is always a matter between two people, and it is never a one-sided affair.
Perhaps his initial insistence was based on the wrong starting point. If it weren't for that first incident, he wouldn't have treated Beibei like a commodity during all the time they spent together...
If it weren't for the events specifically designed to give her and Xu Sanshi space to spend together, perhaps genuine feelings could indeed move a young girl who has never experienced love.
It has been a full six years since I met Jiang Nannan.
For six years, Xu Sanshi had been relentlessly pursuing and confessing his feelings. However, he had always been rejected, simply because he had done something wrong six years ago, something that had left a deep shadow in Jiang Nannan's heart.
For six years, he put in so much effort, but all he received was rejection.
Xu Sanshi kept waiting, waiting for the moment when the clouds would part and the moon would shine. But the answer he received was always no, always a denial.
Not all efforts will necessarily be rewarded; every wound leaves a scar—this is the reality and cruelty of life.
Jiang Nannan's face remained unchanged when Xu Sanshi fell into the water; only indifference remained.
Seeing this, Bei Bei shook his head. When he turned back around, his smile had returned. He was aware of Xu Sanshi's situation and had tried to create opportunities for him, but this was the final outcome.
Zhang Lexuan smiled and said, "Next, we will begin the fourth stage. After mutual appreciation, love at first sight, and love at second sight, it's time to seal our fate for three lifetimes. Therefore, our fourth stage is called 'Predestined for Three Lifetimes'."
"In this segment, the female trainees will take turns introducing themselves and choosing their preferred male trainee. They will then go to his side. Male trainees should stand a little further apart, as some may be more charming and attract more than one female trainee. If a male trainee has not been favored by any female trainee by the end of this segment, then, unfortunately, you will have to leave our matchmaking event. The remaining trainees will continue with the final segment."
Undoubtedly, in this fourth round, more male trainees will be eliminated. Even if the female trainees ultimately choose one-on-one, only eighteen out of the remaining twenty male trainees can remain.
In the first four stages of the Poseidon's Fate matchmaking event, female participants had priority, which aligns with the common practice of "ladies first." In fact, aside from free-choice dating, men generally don't have much of an advantage at Poseidon's Fate.
"Let's begin. There's one thing for the two girls still wearing straw hats to note: when you introduce yourselves, you may choose to remove your hats and reveal your faces. If you don't show yourselves or give any hints during this part, then in the final round, unless the boys have already chosen you, you will not be able to remove your hats until the end of the event. Now, female student number one, please introduce yourself and make your selection."
The female contestant number one is named Hua Yao. The most incomprehensible thing in the original work is that Gu Fan, who was eliminated in the water, reappeared in this round. However, based on what happened before, Ye Liu should have been eliminated. It's just that someone else has contradicted their own original setting.
When Gu Fan achieved a great start, everyone cheered. In fact, according to the author's setting, Gu Fan and Hua Yao had long harbored feelings for each other, but neither of them was good at expressing themselves. Their participation in the Sea God's Fate was just a place where they could express their feelings.
For example, He Caitou and Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong'er and Su Yu, and those two who are obsessed with their younger brother and older sister...
Zhang Lexuan smiled and said, "Lone Sail, your lone sail is probably about to become a big ship!"
Gu Fan was clearly a man of few words. He bowed slightly in Zhang Lexuan's direction, but the excitement in his eyes was undisguised.
Zhang Lexuan said, "Then, it's time for our next girl to come on stage."
The girl with sign number two was Wang Dong'er. Now, after being reminded by Zhang Lexuan, she lost her composure. Her face showed not only shyness, but also excitement and anticipation.
Her figure swayed, and in the blink of an eye, she floated away, a faint golden light enveloping her. An astonishing scene unfolded the moment she departed from the water lily.
Su Yu, on the other side, made an inviting gesture towards her. Several exquisite soul tools quickly flew out from Su Yu's body, and then reassembled at Wang Dong'er's feet, transforming into a disc-shaped flying soul tool, which dragged Wang Dong slowly to Su Yu's side.
"It seems my old jokes have unfortunately come true, Dong'er. From now on, you won't be able to escape my grasp."
Su Yu exhaled a breath, and the water where Wang Dong was standing instantly froze solid. The two intertwined their fingers and quietly watched everything before them.
"It's so good to have a silly person like you. Although you're a bit clumsy and stupid, you haven't disappointed me in the end. Su Yu, will you really accept me?" Leaning against Su Yu's chest, Wang Dong'er asked nervously.
Su Yu pinched her nose and said affectionately, "Silly girl, if I really didn't accept you, why would I lift your hat and choose you? Let bygones be bygones. In the future, you will be my Dong'er."
As a magician, Su Yu was extremely perceptive. Although he might not have the same level of mental power as Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao was definitely on par with him in the application of mental power.
"It seems this female student and Su Yu have a great understanding. Did you two plan this in advance? Let's reveal the answer in the final segment. Please welcome the next one."
The girls who came next all chose their favorite boys. When it was Xiao Xiao's turn, Su Yu and Wang Dong'er were both trying hard to suppress their laughter. The moment their fingers intertwined, their hearts were already connected, and they could both know what the other was thinking.
"Do you think we should help Xiao Xiao? After all, she and Big Brother are a really good match," Wang Dong'er asked in her heart.
"Of course, whatever Dong'er says goes. There's no rule against helping others, right?"
Su Yu smiled calmly, then he and Wang Dong'er looked at Xiao Xiao together. Even if things didn't go smoothly today, Dong'er had already spoken!
It was finally Xiao Xiao's turn.
Xiao Xiao looked up at the opposite side, her blush still lingering, and her eyes still held a hint of hesitation.
In fact, for Xiao Xiao, it wasn't hesitation, but rather confusion and panic about the unknown.
Wu Ming, who was not far away, perhaps noticed Xiao Xiao's concerns and smiled, "Xiao Xiao, listen to me. Don't miss the best opportunity because of a moment of shyness. Only when a man accepts you when he loves you the most can you completely capture his heart. He will love you, and may even cherish you for a lifetime because he is grateful that you accepted him."
Han Ruoruo laughed too, "Ming'er, you seem to know a lot about this, how come you haven't caught one yet?"
Wu Ming couldn't find anyone because those with higher cultivation levels all had their eyes on the senior sister, and those with lower cultivation levels didn't dare to pursue her. Besides, Wu Ming didn't even look at those who were weaker than her.
This is also the biggest pain point that has caused this Golden Crow Saintess to become a "leftover" woman. However, it is true that, in every aspect, she is worthy of the title of Senior Sister. Sometimes, she is like a friendly older sister who meets all your ideal of a partner, making it hard not to be attracted...
However, the senior sister still has someone she loves, albeit with certain conditions. But who could have known that Shrek Academy, which prides itself on being a land shrouded in light, would have such conditions? Although Zhang Lexuan may not necessarily abide by them, some people, once they make a promise, will never waver until death...
Hearing Han Ruoruo's words, Wu Ming also said with some annoyance, "Isn't it because there aren't any suitable ones?"
Xiao Xiao nodded to them, her shy eyes finally revealing determination. "Thank you, sisters."
As she spoke, she leaped out. Just as she took her first step and was about to use the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron for support, she discovered that a flying disc had appeared beneath her feet.
She clearly remembered that there was only Su Yucai, so how did he end up at her feet?
Just as she was looking at Su Yu with a puzzled expression, she saw Wang Dong'er waving happily at her and saying, "Go, Xiao Xiao!"
Hearing Wang Dong'er's words, Xiao Xiao nodded and slowly walked to He Caitou's side from the flying soul tool.
"Idiot, are you not welcoming me?" Xiao Xiao pouted and said.
He Caitou hurriedly made way for her, but the space for a water lily was limited. Just as He Caitou was about to use his soul tool, the water surface where Xiao Xiao and He Caitou were standing froze solid, and the two of them stood steadily on the ice.
He Caitou glanced gratefully at Su Yu, who smiled and nodded.
"Hey, big brother, keep it up!"
He Caitou nodded and said, "Although I'm not very smart, nor as eloquent as Su Yu, Xiao Xiao, I will spend the rest of my life loving you..."
"Hmm..." Xiao Xiao's face was already flushed red, and even on the poorly lit Sea God Lake, He Caitou could see it clearly.
"Xiao Xiao, I like you..."
…………
One of them expresses his most sincere love in the simplest words, while the other answers the most important questions of his life in the simplest words.
Perhaps life doesn't need dramatic ups and downs; even in the ordinary moments, there can still be a love as passionate as a raging fire.
Seeing this, Zhang Lexuan seemed to be touched by something. She nudged Beibei beside her and said, "You do it now."
"Okay." Bei Bei, Cai Tou, and Xiao Xiao were finally united in marriage, and as their senior brother, he was genuinely happy. Although Xu Sanshi wasn't so lucky, some things simply can't be forced.
"A three-life destiny on the Three-Life Cauldron, Cai Tou, you must seize it!" Bei Bei's voice rang out with a hint of teasing.
He Caitou shouted, "Senior Brother, I'll definitely seize this opportunity. No one else will choose me. Senior sisters and junior sisters, please don't choose me anymore! I'm already taken."
"Brother, you can't say that. It's questionable whether the other team will even pick you."
At this moment, Su Yu couldn't help but laugh and say that He Caitou was indeed riding high on success, enjoying all the flowers of Chang'an in a single day.
"Hahahaha..." He Caitou's honest confession immediately drew laughter from everyone, and the atmosphere changed from the original idyllic mood to a much more relaxed one.
"Big guy, you've really hit the jackpot this time! Remember to treat her well, okay? If you bully her, I won't let you off the hook," Ma Xiaotao added. (From the inner courtyard academy)
…………
The story of the Sea God's Fate continues, but in the next instant, the tone of the story gradually veers off course.
Next up was the second girl who hadn't removed her hat. She slowly took it off, revealing a face—Ning Tian's. Logically, it was unlikely that a support-type Soul Master like her could remain without anyone removing her hat until the very end.
Beneath the bamboo hat, a stunningly beautiful face was revealed. Ning Tian's appearance possessed a gentle beauty. Over the years, Ning Tian's figure and appearance had undergone considerable changes with development. Compared to before, she had gained a more serene and elegant air, which easily won people's favor.
It must be said that in terms of temperament, he does have a bit of the senior sister's air about him. However, compared to the senior sister, Ning Tian is still far behind.
"My name is Ning Tian. Because I am a support-type Soul Master, I can only stay on the surface of the water by relying on the power of my Soul Tool. I am level 54, a support-type Soul King. My Martial Soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
Although she implied earlier that she lacked the ability to levitate on the water, no one would consider her weak. Among those who could enter the inner academy, who was weak?
Moreover, she looked so young. Only when she finally revealed her martial soul did the male students show expressions of sudden realization.
The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, originally named the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, was upgraded to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School after Ning Rongrong consumed the immortal herb. Although Ning Rongrong's own aptitude was insufficient, she benefited from Oscar's influence and inherited the divine position of the God of Food's wife, the Nine-Colored Goddess.
"As a support-type Soul Master, I need a pair of strong arms to protect me. Therefore, I will choose a boy who can protect me as my companion. I also believe that I can help him reach the pinnacle of the continent. Because, behind me lies the entire Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School!"
