Chapter 451: Chapter 373: Rejection_2 Chapter 451: Chapter 373: Rejection_2 On the other side, Yang Aoshan hung up the phone and began to ponder.
“This has been going on for so long; there’s no rush for this evening banquet. Acting abnormally now wouldn’t be good. I’ll just leave early after arriving…”
The reason Yang Aoshan still decided to go in the end was that she didn’t want to act too strangely before her departure.
“I wonder how things are with Su Envoy… No need to think too much. I just need to get my things done as soon as possible.”
With these thoughts in mind, Yang Aoshan gathered her thoughts and quickly went to take a shower on the first floor.
The bathroom was filled with mist, and the temperature was just right.
Looking at her beautiful face and proud figure in the mirror, Yang Aoshan couldn’t help but become a bit entranced.
“Being absorbed in research every day, I almost forgot that I’m still quite young and beautiful…”
Coming back to her senses, Yang Aoshan smiled, then left the bathroom to choose a modest yet elegant black off-shoulder dress to wear…
“Knock, knock, knock!”
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
“Someone’s here at this hour… Could it be Su Envoy?”
Yang Aoshan felt a slight happiness in her heart, but when she looked through the projector, it turned out to be Klaradak.
Yang Aoshan raised an eyebrow but still stepped forward to open the door.
“Teacher Yang…”
Klaradak, who was slightly nervous, couldn’t help but be stunned when Yang Aoshan opened the door.
The black evening dress highlighted her fair shoulders, and her black hair was loosely pinned with a ribbon, revealing a snow-white neck. The faint fragrance of her recent bath gently wafted in the air…
So… so beautiful!
Klaradak’s heart skipped a beat. He felt as though countless ants were crawling all over his heart.
“Klaradak, why are you here? Didn’t I say you didn’t need to pick me up?”
Klaradak calmed himself down. “I… it’s getting late now. I was worried it might not be safe for you to go alone, so I came to pick you up. It would be more convenient.”
Remembering his purpose, Klaradak reluctantly tore his eyes away from Yang Aoshan and extended his perception into the room.
“What are you looking at?” Yang Aoshan raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit displeased.
“Nothing, nothing…”
After probing a bit, Klaradak felt reassured.
Based on his observation, he could almost be sure that no one was inside, and no one had been there either.
Feeling better about this, Klaradak’s mood lightened.
Yang Aoshan thought for a moment, “Alright, I’m almost ready. Let’s go then.”
“Okay, okay!”
Klaradak gentlemanly opened the passenger door for Yang Aoshan and then happily drove away.
“Have they left?” From the high floor of the nearby hotel, Demon Soul opened the window and silently followed…
“Teacher Yang, so beautiful!”
Seeing Yang Aoshan walking together with Klaradak, Ailan, Laura, and the green-haired girl beside Laura, Carole, all had stars in their eyes.
The boys like Colt and Robert were also staring intently, secretly amazed.
Her appearance and figure were already stunning, but because of her long-term dedication to research and her profound knowledge, Yang Aoshan’s intellectual and elegant beauty as a Fifth-Level Barrier Master far surpassed these recently graduated students.
Even noble ladies like Ailan and Carole couldn’t compare.
Music, food, and a garden ball…
Klaradak suggested, “Teacher Yang, would you like to have a dance?”
Yang Aoshan declined, “I’m not very good at dancing, so I’d rather not make a fool of myself.”
Klaradak smiled, “That’s okay. You just need to follow my steps. Please give me a chance.”
Robert and Carole chimed in at the right moment.
“Yeah, Teacher Yang is so beautiful. She must look amazing dancing.”
“I really want to see that.”
“…”
Yang Aoshan shook her head, “I really can’t dance.”
Yang Aoshan, having a bit of a cleanliness habit, wasn’t comfortable with physical contact. When Su Yuan reached out to check the mark, Yang Aoshan instinctively wanted to avoid it.
At this point, seeing Klaradak about to say something more, Ailan stepped forward with a smile, “Klaradak, I’ll dance with you.”
Ailan, a young lady from a prominent family in the fourth-largest city of Rhein, came to this place to study at the ancient way academy. In terms of family background, she’s ranked higher than Klaradak.
Klaradak’s face showed a complex expression.
Ailan asked, “What, am I not up to your standards?”
“No, no, I’m honored.” Klaradak forced a smile.
Honestly, Klaradak and Ailan, both nobles, danced very well. Their performance was pleasing to the eye.
Despite not having Yang Aoshan as his dance partner, Klaradak gave it his all, seeing this as a chance to display his qualities and charm.
However, Yang Aoshan wasn’t in the mood to appreciate it. As soon as she had a moment’s rest, her mind would drift to thoughts of returning home, inevitably causing her to be a bit absent-minded.
“Clap, clap, clap…”
The students around them applauded as the dance ended.
Klaradak immediately turned to Yang Aoshan, only to find her somewhat absent-minded, sinking his heart a little more.
But since it had come to this point, he had to give it a try.
Releasing Ailan’s hand, Klaradak exchanged a glance with Robert and the others before walking straight to Yang Aoshan.
“Hmm?” Yang Aoshan also came back to her senses, looking at Klaradak in surprise.
“Teacher Yang, I’ve admired you for a long time. I hope you can consider dating me.”
There was a flash of a ring in Klaradak’s hand, and a square box appeared in it.
Klaradak opened it, “I know you’re researching very advanced multi-element barriers and need a Light and Dark Energy Source. This is a high-stage Dark Energy Stone I’ve carefully selected. I believe it will be very helpful to you…
Please give me a chance!”
With Klaradak’s confession, Robert, Carole, and the others started cheering.
In the distance, Demon Soul watched the scene, his lips curling up, finding it amusing.
What a classic scene…
Next, Yang Aoshan would probably announce she already had someone she liked, and then Demon Soul could make his dramatic entrance, making Klaradak lose hope.
Of course… Demon Soul was just speculating.
Being in the Northern Land now, Demon Soul knew it was best not to intervene unless necessary. Otherwise, he wouldn’t mind stepping in for some fun.
In the midst of all this, Yang Aoshan sighed to herself, expecting such an incident, but didn’t foresee such a precious item being presented.
This Dark Energy Stone was of high quality, indeed quite valuable.
But Yang Aoshan still rejected him directly, “Klaradak, let’s stop here. It’s impossible for us.”
Yang Aoshan knew that although Klaradak was indeed excellent and didn’t have the arrogance or frivolity of some young nobles, she had never been interested in him. With her imminent return home, nothing could happen between them.
Being clear about this without giving the other person any false hope would be best for both parties.
The atmosphere instantly became awkward, falling into a brief silence as Yang Aoshan seized the moment to make her exit.
“Ailan, Colt, Laura… You all have great talent in barriers. I hope you can achieve even more in the future and soon become Fourth-Level Barrier Masters.” Yang Aoshan advised the students she favored.
Ailan immediately replied, “Thank you, Teacher Yang. I’ll come back to Hardiles to visit you.”
Colt, Laura, and the others also nodded in agreement.
The girls were somewhat reluctant to part, so Yang Aoshan hugged each of them. After giving Klaradak a glance and a shake of her head, she said goodbye and left.
Klaradak felt deeply downcast, somewhat devastated.
In reality, this outcome was within the expectations of Ailan, Colt, and the others.
To outsiders, it seemed unlikely from the start.
Yet, often the people involved would always cling to the belief that there was a slim chance.
Robert patted Klaradak on the shoulder, consoling him, “Klaradak, it’s okay. There are better girls out there.”
But Klaradak, watching Yang Aoshan gradually disappear from sight, couldn’t stop Robert’s earlier words from echoing in his mind…
