Chapter 188 The Base of Loong Pavilion in the Capital

"Why do you look at me like this?" Murong Xue asked.

"Nothing. I feel sorry for you." Xiaowu said straightly while chewing the apple.

"You feel sorry for me? I'm luckier than most people..." She could have another life, which was against nature...

"..."

Since this night, even if everyone was in the same class, Murong Xue couldn't find any chance to talk to Huang Xiaofei. She seemed to avoid her...

Huang Xiaofei still put on delicate make-up and looked nice every day when she came to school. People were all around her. Murong Xue noticed Huang Xiaofei would always bring everyone gifts, so girls liked being around her and boys just wanted to see the fun. Therefore, the same scene happened every day...

But Murong Xue was worried. Huang Xiaofei gave away gifts, which weren't cheap every day. Where did she get all the money? It looked like Huang Xiaofei didn't listen to her. Was she still having that kind of trade?

She frowned and looked at Huang Xiaofei who was laughing at her own desk. She seemed to be happy with a big smile. Was the previous Huang Xiaofei that good? The previous Huang Xiaofei... At this moment, Murong Xue couldn't stop asking herself...

After a while, Murong Xue tapped her own head. No matter how good she looked now, it was horrible to let people find it out, and saying sorry was not enough. It was wrong to make money with her body. How could she let her smile trick her...?

Just it was hard to handle it with her attitude. Murong Xue thought of Liu Huali but denied it immediately. How could she let him find it out...?

After class, Murong Xue saw Huang Xiaofei going out with their classmates. Murong Xue was desperate and shouted, "Xiaofei, wait..."

She saw that Huang Xiaofei paused, turned around, and said, "Sorry, Xue. I don't have time..."

"Then I'll find Huali. Is it okay with you?" Murong Xue said without emotion. She knew Huang Xiaofei kept avoiding her. But she wouldn't give up on her.

Huang Xiaofei froze and said to people next to her, "Sorry. I can't go with you today..."

"Xiaofei, it's okay. Don’t be so polite."

"Yes. Deal with your things first. Don't mind us..."

"Okay. Thank you." Huang Xiaofei smiled and said to them.

They all left and there was only Murong Xue and Huang Xiaofei.

"What? Miss Murong." Huang Xiaofei didn't act kind and was rude to her. She said coldly.

Murong Xue frowned, "Xiaofei, do you have to talk like this?"

Huang Xiaofei smiled, "Then what? Beg you? I'm not your dog..."

"Huang Xiaofei. Aren't we supposed to be friends?"

Huang Xiaofei’s voice became high, "Friends? I don't deserve it." Murong Xue was from a rich family, wealthy and pretty. But Huang Xiaofei had nothing. She felt self-contemptuous when she stood next to her...

"Xiaofei, I didn't think this way. I really treat you as my friend. Can we sit down and have a conversation?" Murong Xue said to her with patience.

"Conversation? You're going to say something about that night? What do you think you can do? I don't need your pity or lesson. You know what? You're not qualified. I never think of you as my friend. Leave me alone." Huang Xiaofei finished talking and left.

Murong Xue stepped forward and pulled her, "Don't leave."

"You're being annoyed. I said before. Leave me alone..." Huang Xiaofei turned around and wanted to get rid of her.

Murong Xue wouldn't let go. She felt sad about what she had said, but she believed Huang Xiaofei wasn't that kind of person. "I care. If you don't stop, I'll tell Huali." She went out after talking without caring about her reaction...

She wanted to talk to Huang Xiaofei and wanted to persuade her. But it failed. Huang Xiaofei would probably hate her for this. Even if they weren't friends anymore, it was worth pulling her from hell...

"Murong Xue, what do you mean? Stop!" Huang Xiaofei followed her. She was scared about what Murong Xue said. She didn't care anything including her friendships with Murong Xue, but she did care about Liu Huali. Everything she did was for him so that he could see her. She wanted to be seen as worthy of him in other people's eyes...

Murong Xue stopped, turned around, and said, "It means everything I just said. If I know you've been making that kind of trade, I'll definitely tell Huali. That’s it." Then she left without caring about Huang Xiaofei’s pale face... She was afraid she might change her mind if she left later...

Huang Xiaofei stood there, looking pale. Why did Murong Xue treat her like that...?

The next days, Murong Xue never found Huang Xiaofei, but she paid attention to her. These days, she still looked nice, but she wore the same clothes for a couple of days. She didn't bring gifts anymore. There were fewer people around her every day. There were only some people who liked her. She could see her unnatural smile...

Murong Xue was contradictory because after all she was the one who threatened Huang Xiaofei. She couldn't buy friendship. Even if she could, it wouldn't last long...

Huang Xiaofei accidentally looked at Murong Xue in the eyes and sometimes there was obvious detestation in her eyes...

Murong Xue smiled bitterly. Huang Xiaofei definitely hated her...

Luckily, Huang Xiaofei and Liu Huali seemed to get along well. They were always together on campus, which made Murong Xue relieve a little...

"Hi, Xiaoliu, what are you watching? You didn't respond when we talked to you..." Laoda waved his hands in front of her face.

"Sorry, what did you say?" Murong Xue smiled with guilt.

Laoda looked at where Murong Xue looked at and he saw Huang Xiaofei. He frowned, "She doesn't treat you as her friend. Why bother?"

"When I was in the military training, everyone only minded their own business. Only she came to me and gently asked if I needed help... How can I leave her alone...?" Murong Xue said while recalling.

"Then I won't say anything. I just want to tell you that I handed in your file. The exam is in three days. We have to go to the base in the capital. Get prepared." Laoda said with some worry.

Murong Xue said with relaxation, "Relax, I'm good at this. Don't be so surprised at that time."

"It's not that easy. I heard there would be punishment if you failed. It's not easy..." They had no choice and they were in the lowest class, so they joined bravely. They got lucky when they all passed. They were still afraid when they remembered those losers who were dragged away...

Murong Xue smiled with confidence, "I know. I won't fail." She wouldn't do it if she wasn't sure of it. Even if she was chasing something, she wouldn't leave her family behind...

"Okay. If it happens, we'll help you. Our position might be low, but we wouldn't be so useless..."

"Thank you. You are my family." Murong Xue couldn't help hugging Laoda.

Laoda touched her head and said, "You need to get prepared. Got it?" They were like his brothers and sisters.

Murong Xue let go of Laoda, standing straight with her hands up. She said seriously, "Yes, Laoda."

"Where are Xiao'er and others? I haven't seen them." Murong Xue asked with curiosity because it was rare that they were separated.

"They went out on a mission. I don't know if it goes well." Laoda couldn’t help but frown because it was the first time they didn't go together...

Murong Xue froze and asked, "What mission? Is it dangerous? Why don't you go with them?"

"It's a C-ranked mission, not dangerous. We decided together that I should be here. It's going to take a week to finish the mission, but your exam starts in two days. They don't know what to say, so it's better for me to stay..." Laoda said.

Murong Xue felt sour in her eyes and said with tears, "There will be no problems. You should go with them..."

"Don't be silly. It's not easy..." Laoda comforted her, "Don't cry. If you become the Dragon Doctor, we'll need you. We just kiss your a*s early..."

Murong Xue laughed before she wiped out her tears...

Time passed fast. It was the day for the exam...

The weather was good this day. The blue sky made people happy. There was also wind flowing, which made Murong Xue a little nervous. She was about to go to the base of Loong Pavilion. Was he also there? She seemed to be a step near him...

Murong Xue was recommended by Laoda, so he led her.

They drove far away from the urban area of the capital and there were woods on the two sides. They couldn't see any building now.

Murong Xue held her hands tight. She started to sweat. She thought she wouldn't be nervous, but now she was really nervous. She knew she wouldn't be seeing him today, but she still put on her make-up and kept walking around in her living room...

The more nervous she was, the more she doubted herself about her previous relationships. Was it love? She thought it was because it was what she wanted, but she had never been so nervous like right now...

As long as she saw him, she would find it out. She already found her way and wouldn't be lost...

She didn't know how long it took. They stopped in front of a strange building like the one in A province after a long drive. This one was ten times bigger than the one in A province.

"Get off, Xiaoliu. We can't drive now." Laoda said while stopping the car.

Murong Xue brought her golden needles box, opened the door, and got off the car. She remembered Long Yi used to drive into the base. But it made sense. There must be ranks...

The process was similar to the way she entered the base in A province. She didn't have to be checked because she was with Huangfu Yi last time. Now, whenever she went to a place, she had to be checked by special equipment. She almost lost her golden needles and Laoda explained to them that those golden needles were medical tools. They asked the Dragon Doctor in Loong Pavilion to check and let go of her after making sure those golden needles were okay...

They moved to a huge room. Because Laoda didn't take the exam, he had to wait outside. Murong Xue followed the Dragon Doctor and walked inside. She tried to talk to the Dragon Doctor, but the Dragon Doctor was too cold. He just stared at her without any facial expression or any words...

Murong Xue knew what he meant and didn't say anything again. When she entered the room and found out there were lots of people there. The Dragon Doctor left her there and walked towards the higher platform. There were also several elder people. She looked at the cards in front of them, which said "Auditor".

Then those who sat down there all came to take the exam. She looked around and didn't find Huangfu Yi or Long Yi. She felt a little bit upset. She found a seat and sat down. It was okay. She made it here. One day, they would meet again...
