Four Split Personalities

"Huh? Huh?"

Ji Xiaoge was completely dumbfounded. Her pretty little face looked as silly as it possibly could, her mouth half open, and it took her a moment to let out a third: "Huh?"

Heavenly Dao seemed a bit surprised by the girl’s rather extreme reaction, raising an eyebrow and saying, "Is it that strange?"

"It’s really strange! No matter how you think about it, it’s super strange!"

Ji Xiaoge flapped her wings, gesturing as she spoke, "If you don’t like Teacher Chen, why bother with Dabus? If you don’t like Teacher Chen and you’re not related, why go to the movies together? If you don’t like Teacher Chen, why not just tell Dabus directly?"

"I think I need to correct something, Night Song."

Heavenly Dao raised his right hand, gently wagging his finger, "I wasn’t the one having an issue with Jarvis, rather it’s him who’s been having issues with me over those childish reasons."

Ji Xiaoge puffed up her cheeks, hummed, "What about the others then?"

"I can see you’re good friends with Jarvis, otherwise, he wouldn’t have told you about me watching a movie with Little Chen."

Heavenly Dao shifted his gaze, turning to look towards the training field, and said softly, "But my relationship with you, Night Song, isn’t that close. Plus, for other reasons, I’m not planning on telling you everything. Understand?"

The girl was slightly stunned, then pursed her lips, sulkingly replied, "Oh..."

"Oh?"

Heavenly Dao glanced at her with a bit of surprise, breaking into a faint laugh, "I thought you’d find ways to dig deeper."

Instead, Ji Xiaoge sighed, shaking her head, "I won’t, actually those questions I asked were already quite inappropriate. Since Teacher Tian you’ve refused to answer, continuing would be too impolite, wouldn’t it? After all, it was already quite impolite just now."

"You’re a good child, Night Song."

Heavenly Dao rarely showed a smile that was almost ’kind,’ and leisurely said, "Jarvis is lucky to have friends like you."

Ji Xiaoge first smiled, then suddenly clapped her little hands, "Ah! Could it be Teacher Tian, your true identity is Dabus’s long-lost uncle!?"

Heavenly Dao’s expression stiffened, "Do I really look that old?"

"Hmm, so you’re not..."

The girl sighed, made a cute face, "It’s because you keep calling everyone a child! You’re not that much older than me, you know."

"I’m used to keeping a bit of distance with students your age."

Heavenly Dao shrugged, calmly stating, "For a single, handsome, and financially stable young educator, it’s very necessary."

Ji Xiaoge twitched the corner of her mouth, finding she couldn’t refute him, because this Teacher Tian in front of her wasn’t bragging or self-indulging, just calmly stating a fact.

"Then, if possible, I hope you can keep our recent conversation confidential, just keep it a secret from only Jarvis."

Heavenly Dao adjusted his glasses, speaking seriously, "I can’t disclose the specific reasons, but even putting aside all those tangled secrets, Jarvis is a person who is easily emotional in certain environments, and Little Chen and I completely fit all the conditions of a ’certain environment’ for him."

Ji Xiaoge blinked cluelessly, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Heavenly Dao’s expression was quite serious, "Simply put, I’m hoping you keep the information you just got confidential, specifically from your friend Dabus. Part of the reason I can’t reveal, the other part is because once he knows, he might act impulsively, which would do him no good."

"For Dabus’s sake?"

Ji Xiaoge tilted her head.

"Yes, for Dabus’s sake."

Heavenly Dao nodded firmly.

So Ji Xiaoge also nodded earnestly and replied, "Alright, I understand, I won’t tell Dabus about this matter."

"Good."

Heavenly Dao smiled contentedly, then turned and began walking towards the main building, "Let’s make the most of our time, although we have some leeway, no amount of preparation is ever too much."

"Um..."

Ji Xiaoge called out to him, pursing her lips hesitantly before finally asking not so confidently, "Teacher Tian, will you bring Teacher Chen and Dabus together? Do you hope they’re together? Well, if it’s inconvenient, you don’t have to say."

"..."

Heavenly Dao stopped, not turning around, and after a brief silence, coldly said, "No, and I don’t hope so."

"Uh..."

"Rather, I would do my utmost to prevent them from being together."

"Ah, wh-why?"

"Who knows, maybe it’s just because I like to meddle too much."

"?"

"Let’s go, Night Song, this topic ends here."

"Oh, oh! Yes!"

...

Elsewhere, while an utterly confused Ji Xiaoge followed Heavenly Dao to the main building to prepare for the upcoming ’performance match,’ Motan and Dabus were also finishing up their preparations.

Of course, ’preparations’ merely involved tidying up the leftover wooden stake fragments Heavenly Dao hadn’t managed to destroy, and then positioning themselves face to face in the middle of the practice field.

"Are you sure you don’t need to bring Wang Badan?"

Dabus snapped his fingers, surrounding himself with an aura of cold and misty evil power, then pulled out the long-unused [Refined Iron Hammer] from his satchel, handed it to Anton’s favored hand, and with a burning gaze, reminded Motan who stood a few meters away, "Without its support, you probably won’t be able to use many skills, will you?"
