Chapter 1678 Unfavorable Rumors (2)

Lu Zijia looked over and saw Xu Qi running towards them while panting.

She looked at Xu Qi, who seemed to have something urgent, in confusion and asked, "What happened?"

Mu Tianyan kept massaging his wife, as if he didn't notice the arrival of a living person like Xu Qi at all.

"Fellow Taoist Lu, you still don't know?"

Seeing Lu Zijia's confused look, Xu Qi turned to look at Mu Tianyan. "Fellow Taoist Mu, didn't you tell Fellow Taoist Lu?"

Mu Tianyan glanced at Xu Qi, who was disturbing his private time with his wife, indifferently and didn't say anything.

Being glanced at by Mu Tianyan, Xu Qi only felt a bit cold on his back, making him feel like running away.

However, in the end, his rationality overcame his fear and he resisted the urge to run.

Lu Zijia looked at the man in front of her and then at Xu Qi Dao. "What happened?"

Could it be that rotten peach blossom Shi Shuangshuang again, causing some kind of trouble?

Seeing that Lu Zijia really didn't know, Xu Qi started to explain to Lu Zijia.

Moreover, not long after he entered the cabinet, rumors about her spread in the academy.

They said that she, an all-element loser, could only have the cultivation level of the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm because of pills. In actual combat, she wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow.

Aside from that, with her talent and aptitude, she shouldn't be able to enter Hongtian Academy at all. She must have used the back door to enter Hongtian Academy.

There were even rumors that a loser like her wasn't worthy of a world-shaking genius like Mu Tianyan at all. They told her to know her place and take the initiative to leave Mu Tianyan and then get out of the academy.

"Ah, a homme fatale is indeed a disaster! Fellow Taoist Lu, it's really tragic that you have such an outstanding Dao companion like Fellow Taoist Mu." In the end, Xu Qi shook his head and sighed, saying with deep sympathy for Lu Zijia.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, an extremely cold gaze landed on him, making him shudder fiercely.

"No, no, no, no."

Realizing that he had stepped on a mine again, Xu Qi hurriedly saved him with a long face.

"What I mean is that Fellow Taoist Lu is simply lucky to have an outstanding Dao companion like you in your previous life. Right, right, right, that's actually what I mean. I… I'm praising Fellow Taoist Lu for being lucky. You're a match made in heaven with Fellow Taoist Mu!"

Lu Zijia: "…" Wasn't it a bit too late for this guy to save her?

"Apart from what you said, is there anything else?" Lu Zijia asked.

She had already started refining pills in front of the Vice Dean and the others. There was no reason for her to only spread the news that she used a large number of pills to increase her cultivation level.

Xu Qi wanted to shake his head, but he seemed to have thought of something the next moment. He suddenly stopped shaking his head and said hesitantly, "There's one more thing that also concerns you, Fellow Taoist Lu."

"What is it?" Lu Zijia asked curiously.

Xu Qi looked a bit conflicted and even sized up Lu Zijia from head to toe.

Lu Zijia: "…" What was this guy doing? He was just talking. Why was he suddenly sizing her up? She didn't suddenly grow a flower on her!

"The Dean of our Martial Arts Department said that Fellow Taoist Lu, you're a high-level Mystic Rank alchemist." Xu Qi looked even more conflicted, as if he still had an indescribable feeling.

Lu Zijia resisted the urge to slap the back of his head and asked again, "And then?"
