"Yes, that's right!" Jiang Wanshang nodded emphatically, her small face alight with confidence. "I knew Teacher Haitang would co out on top!"
Soaring Cloud Academy students had been frequenting Origin Mall lately, joined by so new faces—students from Profound Moon Academy, led by Xia Yuan. Usually, one ntor would accompany the group, but due to Ying Wuji's special circumstances, there were two this ti.
Murong Haitang smiled modestly. "I was fortunate to obtain the Curse of the Dark Night in casual mode the other day."
Her previous battles had shown her just how powerful this skill could be—capable of reversing even the direst situations.
Luo Chuan shook his head. "Luck is part of strength."
Old Bai nodded. "Indeed. We also ventured into casual mode, but didn't find any missions."
The Third Elder, Liu Rui, and Wu Daoxu exchanged astonished glances. That terrifying ability was sothing she found in casual mode? Could there be more mysteries within Origin Mall they had yet to uncover?
"Everything in casual mode operates on probability," Luo Chuan explained, sensing their thoughts. "What you find depends on luck alone. You can read more about it in the ga's introduction."
"Thank you, Boss, for the explanation." They nodded respectfully.
With envious eyes watching her, Murong Haitang took the Jade Nectar Dew from the shelf and paid in spirit crystals.
"Now, it's for you." She handed the precious elixir to Ying Wuji, whose usually stoic face registered surprise.
"For ?" he asked, clearly taken aback.
She nodded, pressing the bottle into his hands. "It's settled then. I need to go now, Boss."
With that, Murong Haitang made a swift exit from the store, her delicate earlobes tinted red—a detail Luo Chuan didn't miss.
Who would've thought that soone as stoic as Ying Wuji would experience such a mont? Luo Chuan watched Murong Haitang's retreating form, then glanced at the bewildered Ying Wuji, a soft sigh escaping him.
But he didn't notice Yao Ziyan's thoughtful gaze from behind the counter...
Ying Wuji stood frozen, struggling to comprehend how things had developed so unexpectedly.
"Brother Ying is quite lucky!" Old Bai chuckled, offering his congratulations.
"Indeed, you must seize this opportunity," Xia Yuan said, clapping Ying Wuji on the shoulder, his tone that of a seasoned advisor—despite his own apparent single status.
Around them, other custors observed the scene with amusent, their whispers filling the room.
"Do you think Teacher Haitang and Teacher Wuji make a good match?" Gu Yunxi murmured.
"They really do," Xiao Cheng agreed, nodding. "Actually, I suspected sothing like this might happen."
"Wow, Xiao Cheng, you're an oracle!" Bu Lige exclaid.
"Ah, it's nothing!" Xiao Cheng replied modestly, waving off the praise.
For a while, the atmosphere in Origin Mall was bright and lively, filled with the buzz of speculation and the warmth of camaraderie.
