"Be ready in advance!
Give the girl some time to prepare!
However, Mo Chaoge's reaction was even better than Ye Ming had expected.
For, her dazed expression lasted less than a minute before she returned to her original state.
"Is this the gateway to the new world?"
Mo Chaoge looked at the spatial rift before her, her tone still carrying a hint of awe.
"What are your thoughts?"
Ye Ming really wanted to know Mo Chaoge's psychological changes at this moment.
"It feels dreamlike!" Mo Chaoge voiced her first impression.
"Hahaha!"
Ye Ming chuckled, waved his arm again, and the spatial rift disappeared. He pointed at the two people on the ground: "Do you know why they came to catch you?"
"I guessed some parts, but there are still many doubts."
After that, Ye Ming told Mo Chaoge about the Qingping Tea House incident.
"So that's how it is!"
This cleared up all of Mo Chaoge's doubts.
These two people were indeed sent by Zhang Qikun. His goal was to use Mo Chaoge as a hostage to force Mo Chaoyun to comply.
However, Ye Ming could not find any reason in the memories of the two individuals as to why Zhang Qikun was so fixated on Mo Chaoyun.
Logically, for an ordinary chef to resign, it shouldn't require such a large effort.
Was it merely for revenge against Mo Chaoyun?
But this reason clearly couldn't convince Ye Ming.
After all, the superficial identities of just him and Nangong Qianyu alone were not something Zhang Qikun could afford to offend. As a businessman, how could Zhang Qikun put himself in danger just to vent his anger?
"I didn't realize you were also a big internet celebrity!" Mo Chaoge teased.
Because she spent most of her time reading, Mo Chaoge hadn't paid much attention to online matters. Therefore, she didn't recognize "Teacher Ye."
"Do you want to know why I became a big internet celebrity?" Ye Ming asked with a mischievous smile.
Seeing his smile, Mo Chaoge knew it wouldn't be anything good, and she stated frankly: "My intuition tells me that once I know the answer, my peaceful life will be over!"
"Hahaha! Your intuition is very accurate!"
In this way, amidst their lively chats and laughter, Ye Ming unknowingly escorted Mo Chaoge back to the entrance of Provincial Capital University.
During their conversation, Ye Ming didn't discuss any immortal cultivation knowledge with Mo Chaoge. He only casually mentioned that she should watch his live streams more often.
Not only that, but they also discussed Zhang Qikun's motives together.
Their speculations finally converged:
There must be something Zhang Qikun cared about concerning Mo Chaoyun.
At this moment, the two of them were nothing like new acquaintances meeting for the first time; they were like old friends reunited after a long separation.
They were so engrossed in their conversation.
They had even forgotten to let go of their clasped hands.
As they entered Provincial Capital University, they felt gazes projected from all directions.
"The top of the campus beauty rankings truly lives up to its name!"
At this moment, Ye Ming was completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation and still had the mood to tease Mo Chaoge.
"But why do I feel like their gazes today are a bit different?"
Mo Chaoge glanced at the passing students. She always felt there was an inexplicable fire in their eyes, much like when Sun Qi saw rumors about a celebrity.
"Look quickly, isn't that Goddess Mo? She actually has a boyfriend?"
"I don't believe it! My goddess can't possibly be in a relationship. They must not be like that!"
"You say they're not? Look, their hands are already linked. Those eyes, that smile, how sweet!"
"Then... um, have any of you noticed that the man beside Goddess Mo looks a bit familiar!"
"I... damn it! He really does look familiar! How come he seems a bit like... like..."
"Teacher Ye! Holy crap! Isn't that Teacher Ye?"
"My heavens, it really is Teacher Ye!"
"It seems we've discovered something incredible!"
"..."
With Ye Ming's hearing, he could naturally hear the discussions around him clearly.
Holding hands?
Teacher Ye?
"Holy shit!"
Ye Ming looked down and realized he was still holding Mo Chaoge's hand.
And he had forgotten to hide his identity.
"It's over! It's over, over, over, over, over!"
At this moment, Ye Ming's mind was already struck by a bolt of lightning, almost causing him to ascend to heaven on the spot.
Mo Chaoge also realized something was wrong at this moment.
Her head was a bit muddled.
The two walked numbly, seemingly having lost their souls.
Fortunately, Mo Chaoge quickly regained her senses.
But our great Young Master Ye was still in a state of disarray.
He could already imagine what a colossal wave would erupt online tomorrow... no, today.
Given his current online status, once photos or videos of him and Mo Chaoge walking hand-in-hand at Provincial Capital University got out, he knew what would happen without even thinking.
Mo Chaoge looked at Ye Ming, who seemed to have given up all hope. For some reason, she felt like laughing.
At the same time, dozens of photos had already been uploaded online.
In an instant, it caused a huge sensation.
"My god! What is this?"
"Don't tell me the person in these pictures is Teacher Ye!"
"I regret to inform everyone that the male protagonist in the photos is indeed Teacher Ye himself!"
"That's right! I'm at the scene right now! The girl Teacher Ye is holding hands with is our Provincial Capital University's campus beauty—Mo Chaoge!"
"Quick! Hurry and notify Goddess Qianyu, Teacher Ye is cheating!"
"My knife! Where's my knife! I'm going to kill that scoundrel named Ye!"
"Add me to the list! Destination, Provincial Capital University, Tian'an Province!"
"..."
...
Meanwhile, at a villa on Ziyun Mountain in Minghai City.
"Bastard! He's only been in Provincial Capital for a short while and he's already holding someone's hand!"
Nangong Qianyu stared intently at a photo on her phone, grinding her teeth in anger.
Beside her were Fang Junxue and Bai Qiushui.
"This... he's too fast!"
Bai Qiushui didn't know what to say and simply commented.
"Sister Junxue, say something!"
Nangong Qianyu clenched her small fists, wishing she could slap Ye Ming from afar.
"Don't mind it too much! There must be some misunderstanding," Fang Junxue analyzed calmly.
"Yes! Yes! There must be some misunderstanding we don't know about!" Bai Qiushui quickly agreed, afraid Nangong Qianyu would lose control.
"Fine! It better be that way!" Nangong Qianyu grabbed a throw pillow, kneaded it fiercely, then gritted her teeth and said, "If he can't explain it clearly when he gets back, I'll tear him apart!"
"Mm! Okay! We'll do it together then!"
Bai Qiushui immediately aligned herself.
"And Sister Junxue, you have to help me deal with him too!"
Nangong Qianyu felt she lacked strength and pulled Fang Junxue into her camp.
"Alright! I'll do whatever you say!"
Fang Junxue felt helpless.
...
In the student union office of Provincial Capital University.
A young man with gold-rimmed glasses, chiseled features, and an exquisite appearance was staring at the pictures on his computer.
His expression was cold, and his eyes held a dense killing intent.
"Seeking death!"
