245: Chapter 245 You can know a person's face but not their heart

In front of the Star Tower. Just as Gu Rongyu lifted her leg to take a step, Song Cheng from the side suddenly spoke up.

"Hey? Gu Rongyu, where are you going? Aren't you going to watch the big shot anymore?"

Gu Rongyu stopped in her tracks. She turned her head to look at Song Cheng, "I intend to go and get to know that woman named Su Youwei."

"Her profession is a magic-type. If I can recruit her, then the two of us, one physical and one magic, will be able to form a powerful alliance, and our leveling speed will be even faster."

Gu Rongyu was very clear in her heart. Although both of them had SSS-Rank professions, Lin Mo's prowess was far above hers.

This could be seen from the fact that Lin Mo was currently inside the Star Tower, while she was outside.

Therefore, in order not to hold Lin Mo back, Gu Rongyu had to consider finding a teammate. Since she was ranked first, Su Youwei, who was ranked second, was naturally a good choice.

However, Song Cheng, who had only asked casually, immediately broke out in a cold sweat after hearing Gu Rongyu's answer.

Good grief! Gu Rongyu wanted to go find Su Youwei to form a team? Isn't this the sky collapsing?

If these two women were to get to know each other, wouldn't the big shot's two-timing be exposed in an instant?!

Song Cheng swallowed his saliva. No, he couldn't let this happen. If he wanted to cling to this big shot, he had to solve this matter for him!

Song Cheng racked his brains, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him. Then he muttered to himself in his heart.

Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. Since I'm currently by the second sister-in-law's side, I have no choice but to say this.

Song Cheng's expression suddenly became somewhat subtle.

"I advise you not to go."

"Hmm?" Gu Rongyu was slightly taken aback and stopped her steps. She looked at Song Cheng curiously. "Why?"

Song Cheng shook his head and said, "I went to find her before."

"And I got scolded by her."

Gu Rongyu widened her eyes, her gaze wandering between Song Cheng and Su Youwei. She blurted out, "This Su Youwei doesn't look like the type who would scold people."

Gu Rongyu remembered very clearly that yesterday, when the assessment ended, although Su Youwei had obtained second place, she had kept her head lowered the entire time.

She appeared very introverted and unwilling to communicate with others. Under such a state, could she actually be hiding another face that would scold people?

Since things had already reached this point, Song Cheng simply hardened his heart and said, "Appearances can be deceiving."

"I originally just thought she seemed like a nice person and felt her strength was quite strong, so I wanted to find her to form a team."

"Who could have expected her to give me a good scolding!"

"It made me so angry I was beside myself."

Gu Rongyu looked at Song Cheng with skepticism, "Are you sure?"

"It's not really that you were harassing her under the guise of forming a team, and that's why you got scolded?"

Song Cheng put on an expression of being wronged.

"Heaven and earth be my witness, I only have Goddess Jiang in my heart."

"How could I possibly harass Su Youwei?"

"If that were really the case, why would I stop you from finding her? If we could form a team, wouldn't it be more convenient for me to harass her?"

It had to be said that Song Cheng still had a decent reputation. Gu Rongyu thought about it.

Indeed, if Song Cheng had harassed Su Youwei and been rejected, then for her to invite Su Youwei to join a team now would be a good thing for the thick-skinned Song Cheng; he had no reason to stop her.

"Wait…" Gu Rongyu suddenly remembered something, "Weren't you with her when you reported in?"

"I remember that the two of you were… who was it? That Liao Lin wanted 400 points, right?"

Song Cheng froze. Damn, he had forgotten about this.

He said somewhat stutteringly, "Ye... yes."

"When I first arrived at the academy, I saw that she was beautiful and was alone... so at first, I wanted to strike up a conversation."

"It just so happened that Liao Lin said she could be a free guide for both of us, so we went together."

"But!" As Song Cheng spoke, he cleared his thoughts, and his tone became increasingly determined.

"I absolutely never harassed her."

"Later, after the arena battle ended, I saw that her strength was quite strong and she could trade blows back and forth with Liao Lin, so I told her we could form a team in the future."

"I didn't expect her to give me a good scolding..."

"Even now, I feel sad whenever I think about it in the middle of the night..."

As he spoke, Song Cheng's expression even became somewhat aggrieved.

Seeing that Song Cheng's reaction didn't seem fake, Gu Rongyu frowned slightly.

Then, there was really only one possibility. This Su Youwei had truly scolded Song Cheng.

Gu Rongyu looked at Su Youwei with some surprise. It really was... appearances can be deceiving.

However, with this little interlude, Gu Rongyu temporarily abandoned her plan to go and get to know Su Youwei.

She returned to her original position and quietly watched Lin Mo's light spot.

Meanwhile, Song Cheng silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Good heavens, this big shot is truly hard to cling to.

He had almost failed. Big shot, you better come out quickly.

Having these two sisters-in-law guarding outside the Star Tower at the same time, the danger level is too high.

Song Cheng now wished that Lin Mo would enter the next level in just over ten minutes, so that the assessment could end a little faster.

It was as if Lin Mo was playing a joke on Song Cheng. Under Song Cheng's gaze, more than ten minutes passed by very quickly.

However, Lin Mo's light spot still remained on the fifth level.

Hmm? Song Cheng didn't think much of it. After all, the higher the level, the greater the difficulty.

The time to complete the challenge and enter the next level would take longer.

Just like Shi Lei, whose initial Breakthrough speed was quite fast, but now he was still stuck on the 4th level.

Only a few powerhouses like Jiang Wu, Qin Yao, and others who had reached Rank 4 could break through quickly, and they had already reached the seventh level.

Jiang Mengxi and Xiao Xun had also reached the sixth level, and Luo Siyue was on the same level as Lin Mo.

Another 20-plus minutes passed.

Luo Siyue, who was originally on the same level as Lin Mo, had already gone to the 6th level.

Even Shi Lei had entered the fifth level. Lin Mo's light spot still remained on the fifth level, unchanged.

The brows of Song Cheng, Su Youwei, Gu Rongyu, and others all furrowed slightly.

Song Cheng couldn't help but mutter, "What's going on? Why is it stuck and not moving again?"

"Is the big shot playing the same trick as the first level?"

Not far away came Liao Lin's sneer, "Hey? That little fatty?"

"Do you really think Lin Mo can pass the trial?"

Liao Lin had almost gotten 400 points from Song Cheng earlier.

Later, she was beaten up by Lin Mo, didn't get the points, and lost face as well. She was just looking for a place to vent this anger.

She smiled as she said to Song Cheng, "I'll tell you a piece of news for free: the monster on this fifth level is the Blue Sky Eagle."

"Its flight speed is extremely fast, specifically targeting melee professions."

"No matter how strong Lin Mo is, his combat Rank is only at the second stage, and he only has a few skills."

"What way does he have to deal with aerial combat?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, even the Rookie King wouldn't have..."

Liao Lin's words suddenly came to an abrupt halt.

Because Gu Rongyu, who was beside Song Cheng, suddenly had a long arrow made of energy appear in her hand.

The tip of the arrow was pointed directly at Liao Lin's throat.
