Pella left after a few words, it was clear that she had profound social skills, these girls around were quite fond of her. In contrast, Ai Lin seed quite alone. Besides the initial encounter with Pella, no one had paid any attention to her. The crowd around Pella kept changing, but Pella never ca over again.
At first, Ai Lin’s attention was constantly on Pella, but as ti passed, her hope gradually fell.
"Are you okay?" Long Yi gently placed his hand on Ai Lin’s shoulder.
"I’m fine, Brother Long, sorry to make you bored with ," Ai Lin said.
"I don’t mind, but there’s sothing I want to tell you," Long Yi said.
"Don’t say it, I know," Ai Lin said.
"You know?"
"I do. In fact, I suspected a while ago that Pella may not sincerely want to be friends with . She was very popular back then, now even more so. I’m the sa age as her, but I can’t achieve the sa. Did you see the butterfly pin on her chest? That’s the sign of the Butterfly Society’s president, I didn’t even notice that she had beco the president."
Ai Lin’s gaze dropped slightly, "I hope, I’m wrong."
Long Yi felt anxious, if this situation was not handled well, Ai Lin may be heartbroken. At this mont, however, Pella suddenly called Ai Lin’s na from afar. Ai Lin was stunned for a mont before she lifted her head and realized Pella was indeed calling for her, whereupon her face beca cheerful once more.
The two made their way to where Pella and the other girls were. The girls naturally ford a circle around Pella. The emperor’s two princesses had not arrived yet, so naturally, Pella, as the president, would be the center of attention.
"Hey, why are you so slow? The president had to call for you several tis before you responded. You’re quite pretentious, aren’t you?"
A girl standing beside Pella rebuked.
"Let introduce you all, this person is Ai Lin, my friend, and this is Long Yi, Ai Lin’s male partner. Don’t underestimate Ai Lin, she’s a Dragon Knight."
Long Yi frowned again, why did this statent sound so off? And why didn’t Pella admonish the blabbering girl beside her?
"Nice to et you all." For a clever person like Ai Lin, how could she not feel the tension? Nevertheless, she tried hard to force a smile. But it was obvious that her smile was strained.
What greeted Ai Lin’s smile was a wave of cold expressions.
"A Dragon Knight? Can she even beco a Dragon Knight? I thought she lost all her powers?"
"I heard that Long Yi helped her regain so strength? And that she’s walking around the school wearing a silver bodysuit!"
"Wow, that’s so embarrassing."
"Did you know that she and Long Yi live in the sa dorm? Those two...hehe..."
"Wait, how did you guys know?"
"President Pella told us! Hahaha!"
The girls burst into laughter.
After listening to those words, Ai Lin turned her gaze to Pella, only to see Pella smiling back at her. Pella was holding her head high, her eyes gleaming with the thrill of revenge.
Long Yi was even more puzzled, how could Pella choose to take revenge on Ai Lin? Their relationship shouldn’t have soured to this extent, right?
Ai Lin slowly lowered her head and didn’t say another word, for now, everything had beco clear.
"Pella, I thought we were good friends," Ai Lin whispered.
"Yes, we are, we have always been." Pella, her face full of mockery, retorted, "You don’t know how much I liked you, weak and submissive to others. Oh, and coincidentally, you happen to be the granddaughter of General Iron Blood! Haha, thank God our Butterfly Society doesn’t judge people based on their status, otherwise, I wouldn’t dare! Whenever I recall your trusting eyes following around, I just want to laugh! You’re really funny haha!"
"Pella, why, why are you doing this to , I’ve never done anything to hurt you! Although I knew you didn’t like , I’ve never gone against you!"
Finally, Ai Lin asked her question.
"Want to know why? You don’t deserve to!"
Pella threw her head back, the surrounding girls burst into laughter.
Amidst the laughter, Ai Lin slowly lowered her head.
"Ai Lin, pull your head up," Long Yi suddenly said.
"Brother Long?" Ai Lin lifted her head, looking at Long Yi with teary eyes.
"Ai Lin, tell , in your eyes, what are these girls? The sounds they make, what are they to your ears?" Long Yi’s voice was low and powerful.
Ai Lin was stunned, not understanding. Then, she turned her head to regard those repellent faces, recalling everything from the past. She took a deep breath and then held her head high.
She looked at Pella, and Pella looked back at her, her eyes full of confusion.
Then, Ai Lin began to laugh.
"They are nothing but a group of insects. As insects, the noises they make are just insect chirping," Ai Lin said.
"How dare you!"
"Shaless!"
The girls pointed and accused. Pella also stood up, sharply pointing at Ai Lin:
"Shaless woman, do you know who you are talking to? Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have a man by your side?"
Ai Lin smiled back. Her body brimd with Mana, silver light flickered around her whole body, and her crystal Armguard erged.
