Chapter 55: Mo Jinghong Exonerated! Could She Become His Ally?
Hearing Lin Tianming's words about considering her a savior, Mo Jinghong understood why he hugged her so excitedly upon seeing her.
She didn't hold it against him, but still gently pushed him away and explained to Wang Yanran.
"Junior Lin Tianming is joking. Senior Yanran, as the president of the student council, often guides us juniors. Her actions are always measured. That move just now looked scary but was meant to test your limits. She definitely wouldn't truly harm you!"
Wang Yanran was upset that Mo Jinghong interrupted her plan to kill Lin Tianming tonight. However, hearing Mo Jinghong, who didn't know the real situation, defend her, she went along with it.
"Little junior, I'm sorry if I scared you, but I really wouldn't hurt you!"
[Of course, I wouldn't harm the students of the Imperial Capital University for no reason, but in my eyes, you are a vile and evil person who sullied me and will harm many more!]
[I'll let it go for tonight, but I won't just leave it at that! Every time I recall the disgraceful scene from the previous life when you defiled me, I burn with rage!]
[Only your death can set me free!]
Disgraceful scene... how disgraceful?
As a transmigrator, Lin Tianming had a clear conscience.
He was tired of hearing her accuse him of defiling her.
Even though he knew she was tormented by the humiliating memories from the past life, Lin Tianming couldn't help but imagine the scenario.
It was a small revenge on her!
He had never done anything to her, but was constantly wronged. Fantasizing a little didn't hurt.
Imagining was one thing, but he would never actually do such a thing.
Today's crisis was temporarily averted, but he needed to think about how to deal with Wang Yanran, who posed the greatest threat to him at this stage.
After witnessing Wang Yanran's ability to absorb others' flame skills to strengthen herself, Lin Tianming realized that even with his four copied skills, he had no chance of winning against her with his current low level.
Before he could figure out how to deal with Wang Yanran in the future, Mo Jinghong spoke again, "Junior Lin Tianming, you don't seem in a good state to continue receiving guidance from Senior Yanran. I'll take you back to your dormitory!"
"Sure, Senior Jinghong!"
Although he hadn't thought of a perfect way to deal with Wang Yanran, getting out of here safely was important for Lin Tianming.
With Mo Jinghong escorting him, he believed Wang Yanran wouldn't attempt to kill him tonight.
As Lin Tianming predicted, Wang Yanran gave up on continuing her attack tonight.
[That scoundrel has Junior Jinghong with him, there's no chance to make a move on him tonight...]
"Senior Yanran, don't worry. On the way back, I'll counsel this guy, making him believe you didn't intend to harm him. We're leaving now!"
Mo Jinghong greeted Wang Yanran, thinking Lin Tianming was traumatized by her, and led him away from the Flame Awakening venue.
On the way back to the boys' dormitory, noticing Lin Tianming's relieved expression, Mo Jinghong found it amusing.
"Junior Lin Tianming, you seemed quite excited during your fight with Lei Dong at noon. Why are you so scared after just one move with Senior Yanran?"
She wanted to kill him, how could he not be nervous?
Lin Tianming cursed in his heart but said outwardly, "Senior Yanran is very strong, and she's a fourth-year student. She broke my copied skill with a wave of her hand. Her skills are so powerful that even with restraint, a slight mistake could be fatal!"
"You just entered Imperial Capital University, so you don't understand Senior Yanran. As I said earlier, she often uses powerful skills to guide juniors. I was often guided by her. Her skills may look deadly, but she always pulls back at the last moment if you can't handle it. Didn't she do that just now? So, Junior Tianming, don't overthink it and don't be afraid of Senior Yanran. She's really nice!"
In Mo Jinghong's eyes, Wang Yanran was a responsible person who was good to her juniors and often acted as a semi-teacher.
If her cousin Wang Jian bullied someone and was reported to her, she would punish him fairly.
Unfortunately, Mo Jinghong didn't know about Lin Tianming and Wang Yanran's past life enmity. If she knew, she wouldn't say such things.
So Lin Tianming didn't argue with Mo Jinghong about Wang Yanran anymore.
"I understand, Senior Jinghong. I also believe Senior Yanran wouldn't harm me, but I don't want to spar with her for now."
Mo Jinghong teased, "Haha, so you admit defeat! Senior Yanran's ability is really strong. She represented our Kyushu in the Global Advanced Awakeners Academy Competition and won the championship by overwhelming the second place!"
Surprised to learn about Wang Yanran's glorious achievement, Lin Tianming exclaimed, "Senior Yanran has such an impressive record?"
Talking about Wang Yanran's achievements, Mo Jinghong showed a fangirl expression.
"Of course. In the past ten years, our Imperial Capital University and the whole Kyushu have produced many SSS-level talents, but the only one who won the global competition by defeating all other geniuses is Senior Yanran. I decided to enter Imperial Capital University after watching her crush the Northern Yin Region's genius awakeners in the competition video. I wanted to be like her, so I joined!"
Lin Tianming could see that Mo Jinghong truly idolized Wang Yanran, no wonder she believed Wang Yanran wouldn't harm him.
"Junior Lin Tianming, we're here. You should get along well with Senior Yanran in the future. I think she sees herself in you and believes you can represent your cohort to defeat the Northern Yin Region's geniuses, which is why she guided you tonight!"
At the dormitory building, Mo Jinghong patted Lin Tianming's shoulder sincerely and added, "I also have high hopes for you. I think your potential is no less than Senior Yanran's. Keep practicing hard and aim to win the global competition next year!"
Unexpectedly, Mo Jinghong had such high expectations of him. Lin Tianming replied, "Thank you, Senior Jinghong. I'll work hard!"
"I'll leave now, Junior Tianming. Let's meet again soon!"
Mo Jinghong left as briskly as she did during the day.
After brief contact, Lin Tianming had a good impression of her.
Remembering his earlier suspicion that she might be a reincarnator who had been harmed by the original owner, Lin Tianming reconsidered after tonight's events.
Although Mo Jinghong was also a goddess in the previous life, she was clearly not a reincarnator wronged by the original owner.
If she were, she would have schemed against him on the way back.
Most importantly, he didn't receive any inner voice prompts from the system during their long contact.
Confirming she was a rare future goddess who didn't want to harm him, Lin Tianming decided to interact with her more and cultivate a relationship.
This way, he would have an additional ally in the face of future dangers!
