It's so painful! So hard! So difficult!

The simple eight-word question pierced Bai Lin's heart. Before he spoke, he had never expected her to come to this conclusion. But to be honest, for someone like Fei'er, Bai Lin had just made a finger-linked vow with her the day before, and now urged her to go out into the world, which did make people think of the possibility of shirking responsibility.

"That's not what I meant! I will definitely always..."

"Then don't meddle in other people's business."

Bai Lin started to explain in a panic, but Fei'er directly choked her back. The simple sentence structure and the same dismissive tone as always made Bai Lin's voice stop abruptly. Bai Lin was stunned in place, unable to compose a suitable word for a while, and finally only managed three words to respond.

"sorry!"

Fei'er sighed helplessly, "Go ahead and do whatever you need to do. I'll leave later. I hope you don't get hurt again, hero."

Fei'er's sentence structure suddenly returned to a near-normal pattern, catching Bai Lin off guard, yet also somewhat overjoyed. It was just like the situation a few days ago. It seemed that Fei'er's efforts were indeed very useful.

"Nothing will happen today, thank you for your concern. Well, I'll be leaving now, bye."

Looking at Bai Lin closing the door and leaving, Fei'er sighed again while standing in the room.

Isn't Bai Lin a little too indecisive when it comes to relationships? It's going to be hard not to hurt everyone. At least she takes someone like me seriously. Is this just the nature of a hero, or is she just too kind?

Little did they know that Bai Lin was simply motivated by modern humanitarianism and couldn't bear to see a young person like Fei'er end up like this, so he began to encourage her to stand up step by step. However, this was only Bai Lin's opinion; Fei'er's perspective was completely different.

You need to be more mature, Bai Lin. Saving everyone around you is such a greedy idea.

Fei'er looked down at her hands, then slowly clenched them into fists, thinking to herself,

Bai Lin was actually quite right. It was time to look outside. But... never mind. Let's wait a while. With you here, the future is still long.

The smile was hidden under the mask, but this time, the girl laughed from the bottom of her heart.

-

A woman with long purple-black hair, dressed in a suit, was sitting in her own office, plucking the strings of a musical instrument. Her long, delicate fingers moved slowly up and down the strings, lightly but powerfully, as if the instrument were part of her body.

The lady's eyes were also golden, but they were slightly darker than Bai Lin's. However, the femininity between her eyebrows was something Bai Lin lacked. After all, although Bai Lin's appearance was perfect, it still leaned towards the girlish side.

The face of a mature woman can be considered delicate, and she actually looks quite young, yet she exudes a sense of maturity. It's like the scent of a long-settled perfume, with jasmine as the top note and rose as the base note. Or, it's like the way her white shirt, tightly wrapped around her, reveals her perfect figure. In both visual and sensual ways, she has achieved the perfection of a mature woman.

"Knock knock knock." There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

The purple-haired woman's voice was youthful, perhaps due to her musical background. After receiving permission, the door opened, revealing the newly arrived Bai Lin Eshlevyan. Upon entering, he immediately noticed the purple-haired woman's impressive figure, and his initial preconception of entering as a vibrant student vanished instantly.

This...this...this is bigger than me!

In this regard, Bai Lin seemed quite self-aware as a woman. A casual glance at her made her feel a little daunted. But she and Andel both looked about twenty-six or twenty-seven, and she completely outshined Andel… Well, thinking about it that way, her mindset seemed to improve.

Chapter 324 Perfect Pitch

"Hello, Teacher Chelsea. My name is Bai Lin, and classmate Yue Lingluo introduced me to you."

Bai Lin's gaze didn't linger on the other person's body for too long. Although it was certainly worth a look, since arriving in the other world, she seemed to be surrounded by quite a few beautiful women. Moreover, as she lived as a woman for a long time, she became more and more sensitive, not as easily reacting to beautiful bodies as before.

Polite greetings and appropriate sentence structures are the basis of social interaction. The mature woman whom Bai Lin called Teacher Chelsea nodded slightly and said,

"Classmate Yue Lingluo... then you must have brought the music score with you, right?"

"Yes. But I don't have a very good grasp of the music score, so I need to trouble you... to calibrate it on the spot." Bai Lin nodded and replied.

As far as she knew, the musical notation in her original world was actually very similar to that here. However, she wasn't a professional instrument player, so she only knew a little bit. If there were any mistakes, she could correct them on the spot.

"It's not really a big deal; it's a matter of course. Even if there are absolutely no mistakes, you should still proofread it carefully. After all, you're going to be on stage, right?"

Compared to Chelsea's mature appearance, her tone was much more relaxed, and her face was cheerful and cheerful. Under these circumstances, Bai Lin naturally smiled contentedly and handed the music sheet over. After watching her for a while, she began to experiment.

The reason why Bai Lin chose the song "Because of Love" is actually because its accompaniment is quite simple. It can be played purely on guitar without any problems.

Although still unaccustomed to this new voice, Bai Lin seemed to have more energy than in her old world. Perhaps because of the beauty of her voice, the proofreading process was also very fast. Chelsea held her guitar, strummed a few times casually, then picked up a pen to make some revisions, and soon the score was completed.

"Well, it's almost there. Just one more take and we'll be done."

Chelsea held her chin with the hand holding the pen and said this thoughtfully. Bai Lin turned his head slightly, glanced at Chelsea, and replied,

"Okay, thank you teacher."

The accompaniment gradually began to play, and Bai Lin finally experienced some of the feeling of hearing Jun Ge's song today, which was like hearing heavenly music. It had been ages since he had heard such a good instrumental performance.

Chelsea, clutching her guitar, has a deep expression, seemingly absorbed in her instrument. Yet, her fingers move with a carefree ease, a testament to the guitar's charm. Its beautiful tone is never overly heavy, frivolous yet profound.

The guitar in Chelsea's hands, however, took on a deeper meaning. As the melody grew, the guitar's melody began to draw Bai Lin deeper into his thoughts. Holding the guitar, Chelsea felt as if she were being embraced by it. And the music flowing from her embraced those around her.

The emotion of the song completely poured out of it. Just by listening to Bai Lin sing it once, did she understand the song to this extent? Bai Lin looked at Chelsea with a blurry look in his eyes.

Chelsea possessed both charm and a flirtatious temperament. A girl who played guitar was also quite attractive. Of course, for Bai Lin, the attraction was simply the artistic collaboration.

Since she is so good, I have to sing better too.

“…because of love, in that place

There are still people wandering around there, people coming and going.”

A perfect rhythm flowed out from the two of them. Unconsciously, Bai Lin clenched her hands. It wasn't out of nervousness, but excitement, a kind of excitement for this show.

"Teacher, you are so amazing. It's great to have you on our show."

Although Bai Lin suppressed his emotions in his tone, he couldn't hide the joy that was about to burst out. Chelsea also smiled back, put the guitar in her hand aside, and said,

"No, your singing is obviously great too. My guitar alone can't carry the song. Also, you can stop using honorifics when talking to me. I'm not that old, so please don't call me old."

Hearing Chelsea's humorous tone, Bai Lin didn't want to be too polite. Just when he was about to confirm some specific things with Chelsea, the door suddenly opened.

"What wonderful song is Teacher Chelsea preparing? I heard it while walking in the corridor. She plays it well and sings very well..."

Bai Lin's gaze naturally moved to the door at the first moment, and the guy outside the door also turned his gaze to Bai Lin after saying a few words.

The rude guest who came in without knocking had bright red hair. Her eyes were originally quite calm, but after meeting Bai Lin's gaze, they suddenly began to beat excitedly, and she shouted in a very intense tone,

"Why is it you?!!"

It's really a narrow road for enemies to meet. Bai Lin couldn't help but shook his head in his heart and sighed.

"I was just wondering what you're doing here. Didn't you get enough of yesterday's lesson, Leah?"

"me…"

When she thought of what happened yesterday, Leah's face immediately turned red, and Bai Lin also took advantage of the victory, looking away with indifference, and said in a very nonchalant tone,

"Oh, I never understand why someone would want to humiliate themselves so much. But I've always been a very tolerant person. The price you paid yesterday was more than enough for wanting to do something to me."

Although Bai Lin's tone was quite bland, the combination of his words and the tone made Leah even more furious. Her cheeks flushed, her face darkened, and she began to pant, looking like she was about to explode at any moment.

Teacher Chelsea, who was standing by, was not only slightly embarrassed, but also asked with a rather gentle tone,

"Bai Lin? Is there any conflict between you and Leah?"

"It's not a conflict, she just picked a fight with me yesterday. Like I said earlier, I'm always very forgiving. Yesterday's issue was resolved yesterday."

Bai Lin was as polite as ever to Chelsea, but Chelsea couldn't hear any sincerity in his words. She didn't try to interject the question between the two of them, but instead asked,

"Liya, what's the matter with you talking to me today? I'm almost done with Bai Lin's accompaniment issue. If it's convenient for you, could you please wait a moment?"

Chapter 325 Friction

Hearing Teacher Chelsea's question, Leah no longer just stood there anxiously. She did not fully think through Teacher Chelsea's question, but directly mentioned her purpose.

"Teacher, I came to see you about the same thing as last time. If only your guitar could be used in our play..."

"I said no to that, didn't I, Leah?" Before Leah could finish her words, Chelsea closed her eyes as if she had a headache and denied it.

"Music is just the icing on the cake for a play. Expecting me to carry your show is a bit too much, Leah."

Chelsea's words were not without the intention of saying that Leah's program was not good, but what she said was all true and sounded relatively tactful. But with Leah's personality, it was still a bit too difficult for her to understand the steps in front of her.

"Huh? Then why are you helping this guy and not me? Please, teacher..."

At this point, Leah began to interpret what Chelsea had just said. She pointed her finger at Bai Lin without any consideration for etiquette. Chelsea continued to reply patiently,

"That's because Bai Lin sings really well, so my accompaniment can achieve the perfect effect."

"Um…?"

Liya's gaze slowly shifted to Bai Lin, whose expression of disregard for her still irritated her. In Liya's mind, Bai Lin was a pure, unadulterated savage. She'd actually sung that song just now? The thought of complimenting her made her feel strange.

"Some people don't have a good foundation themselves, so they shouldn't bother others. Just like no matter how good a chef is, he can't cook a rag, and no matter how great a performer is, he can't save a bad performance."

Bai Lin had a faint smile on her lips. She still didn't look at Leah, but said this with a very sarcastic tone. Before Leah could explode, Teacher Chelsea had already persuaded her with some shame,

"Bai Lin, we are all classmates, so don't be so harsh..."

"Okay, you're just sleeping and you're looking for a reason to have sex with me, right?"

Liya didn't know what was wrong with her, she raised her voice and roared at Bai Lin in anger. Her facial expression was distorted, and it was obvious that she was anxious.

"That's perfect. Let's go to the training grounds and settle this matter. If I win, I'll ask Teacher Chelsea to help me..."

Bai Lin immediately raised a hand and said, "I can't influence Teacher Chelsea's thoughts. Besides, you've already lost to me once. Wouldn't it be more embarrassing to lose again? Don't you think so?"

Bai Lin knew that Leah's brain wasn't quite right, but she had never expected her to actually challenge her head-on. Yesterday, Bai Lin had used some subtle tactics to force Leah into a direct confrontation, and judging by how Leah kept verbally attacking him, she was a bit of a pushover among the students.

"I was careless yesterday. Today's victory or defeat will be decided in the ring! Let me show you how powerful our magicians are!"

Oh, so he's a rookie who can't judge the difference in combat power at all. Bai Lin thought so.

Listening to Leah's roar, Bai Lin felt a smile on his face, but at the same time, he was already thinking about how to punish her later. Although Bai Lin always believed that every friend was a friend, he always tried to treat people with kindness.

But this person was scolding his girlfriend... If Bai Lin was still kind in this situation, he would be unworthy of being a human being. Bai Lin believed that he was a person who knew how to strike with restraint. When the time came, he could slightly grasp the other party's strength and tease this outspoken noble lady a little.

Soon, they arrived at the training ground where Katie had taken her exam. Pushing open a door, they found a smaller version of the training ground. A chill washed over them as they opened the door, and Bai Lin could clearly sense that many battles had taken place in this place.

"Please go through the procedures here."

Bai Lin looked in the direction of the sound and found an owl wearing a wide-brimmed wizard hat. After experiencing so many strange things in the other world, Bai Lin was no longer surprised. He could only think of some works related to wizards and owls.

Bai Lin examined the form in front of the owl. Besides the rules of use, it also listed some financial obligations. Besides the venue repair and maintenance fees, there was also a magical barrier constructed around the arena's audience seats. There were five levels of barriers, with higher levels providing increased defense and higher fees.

While Bai Lin was still weighing the pros and cons, Leah had already written down her personal information without hesitation, and said directly and confidently,

"Level 3!"

Bai Lin glanced at Leah from the side, then placed a few gold coins on the table. Since Leah had already paid for the shield, it was completely fine for him to just prepay the venue fee.

However, the instructions stated that first-year students were recommended to use Level 1… Was Leah simply too powerful, or was she just bluffing? Bai Lin felt she had reason to believe the latter. She walked to the dressing area and changed into her sports tights.

If I were to wear armor here, it would seem like I was bullying the child.

Soon, the two of them were facing off in the small arena. It seemed someone had heard about Leah's upcoming fight, as a few of the faces Bai Lin had glimpsed yesterday appeared on the stage. While the audience might be disadvantageous to her, she didn't care much for the home and away crowds.

"What's wrong? You're standing there so casually. Are you scared? Have you given up?"

Leah challenged Bai Lin directly, and Bai Lin, who was standing very casually, sighed, slowly took out the sword from his back, and waved his hand to form a shield.

"I suddenly remembered a sentence. You are very weak." Bai Lin continued to stand casually, and even his tone was very flat.

Seeing Bai Lin still standing casually after taking out his weapon, Leah didn't pay too much attention to her ridicule, but replied,

"Humph, even your taunts are so weak. A fellow like you would probably fall down before you even take my blow, right?"

Leah was standing on the stage with a rather arrogant look, while Bai Lin continued to speak calmly,

"Then you'd better show me what it means to knock me down with one blow. Otherwise, the situation might be quite dire."

Chapter 326 Campus Celebrity

While the two were still bickering, quite a few people had already gathered in the stands. Bai Lin noticed that some of the older-looking students were wearing cloaks, while others were wearing their own clothes.

A gang? No, I think it was issued by the school. This school shouldn't allow such a gang to appear.

"Wow, it's the popular second-year senior, Bai Xue. Why is she here?!"

"And Xi Mu, who always accompanies her, made the right choice to come today!"

Listening to the gossiping girls in the stands, Bai Lin looked toward the entrance. He saw a woman with short, white hair, casually dressed, with bags under her eyes and a rather haggard appearance. A simple white T-shirt accentuated her figure, and even though her skin, evidently from an all-nighter, remained beautiful, it was still beautiful.

Her clear blue eyes were dull and her overall mental state looked bad, but she gave off a faint aura of someone who was not to be trifled with.

Bai Lin immediately noticed the string of Buddhist beads dangling from this guy's hand. Was he a Chongguo from this world? No, with white hair and blue eyes...it was hard to say. But there was no doubt that the moment Bai Lin saw the beads, he could roughly understand why this guy was so difficult to deal with.

Because the one who wears Buddhist beads is probably the leader of the gangsters among the students.

She had a beautiful face, or rather, was very pretty. If it weren't for her figure, it would be hard to mistake her for a woman. Her eyes were lifeless and roamed wantonly. After meeting Bai Lin's gaze, she suddenly charged at him with a fierce aura.

Although Bai Lin was startled by this sudden change in attitude, it didn't cause her any major emotional upheaval. A popular figure? Was he trying to cause trouble for her?

With this in mind, Bai Lin turned to look at the even more striking figure beside Bai Xue. The girl known as Xi Mu had long, chestnut-colored hair that gave people a warm feeling. Her hairstyle wasn't fancy, just a simple Japanese style. However, her outfit was exquisite.

It looked like a simple school uniform, but even from a distance, Bai Lin could clearly sense the fineness of the fabric. The student's shirt and jacket were embroidered with some unknown crest, like the crest of a large family. Her long legs, clad in what looked like white stockings, complemented her lovely face perfectly; these stockings perfectly matched her innocent face.

Like a cup of warm black tea in the afternoon, the girl known as Ximu exudes a warm and inviting aura. While her outfit may seem a bit expensive, paired with her distinctive, fancy earrings and the slightly revealing, expensive pendant, it's clear she's someone who puts a lot of effort into her attire.
