"Shaoyu, let's go have lunch."
"Brother, let's go have lunch!"
Gu Yue and Na'er walked to the front row, one after the other, standing on either side of Jing Shaoyu's seat, and spoke in unison.
Jing Shaoyu was momentarily taken aback, while Xu Xiaoyan and Wu Siduo watched him with great interest, eager to see how he would handle the situation. Ye Xinglan stood up, seemingly ready to leave directly. He quickly came up with an idea and called out, "Ye Xinglan, how about you join us for lunch? It's a good chance for us to get to know each other."
"Ah?" Ye Xinglan turned back, a bit confused by Jing Shaoyu's words, but she didn't refuse. Instead, she said, "Sure, I'll go tell the little fatty first."
"Okay, go ahead." Jing Shaoyu breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand.
Seeing Jing Shaoyu's actions, Gu Yue and Na'er both frowned, their gazes towards each other growing increasingly dissatisfied.
Xu Xiaoyan's eyes darted around, then she grabbed the departing Wu Siduo and said, "Cat, don't go, come with us."
"No." Wu Siduo decisively refused. She tried to pull her hand away from Xu Xiaoyan's grip, but Xu Xiaoyan stubbornly held on, leaving her somewhat speechless.
"Let's go together! Didn't little Yu brother say? We should get to know Ye Xinglan and Na'er," Xu Xiaoyan said with a cheerful smile.
"Let go." Wu Siduo said helplessly, "I'll go."
"Yay!" Xu Xiaoyan beamed with joy.
On the other side of the classroom, Xu Lizhi was standing with Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, alongside Yang Nianxia, Luo Guixing, and Xu Yu Cheng. Clearly, the five of them were preparing to form a group.
"Xu Lizhi, how did you end up in our Outer Academy?" Tang Wulin asked. "This is perfect; you should join our team. We're in need of a support-type Soul Master."
"Is he capable?" Luo Guixing frowned and questioned.
"Hey, there's no need to doubt that." Tang Wulin assured them, "Xu Lizhi is a Food-type Soul Master at the Soul Venerable level. His Martial Soul has great effects; once you try it, you'll definitely love it."
"Ha ha," Xu Lizhi said cheerfully, "Hello everyone, I'm Xu Lizhi, thirteen years old, a thirty-third level Food-type Tool Soul Venerable. Please take care of me."
"A Food-type Soul Venerable!" Yang Nianxia, Luo Guixing, and Xu Yu Cheng exchanged surprised glances, quickly reacting. Luo Guixing smiled and said, "Welcome to the team."
"By the way, Tang Wulin, can we let Xinglan join too?" Xu Lizhi earnestly asked. "With Xinglan's personality, she definitely wouldn't join someone else's team on her own. I don't want her to be lonely."
"Ye Xinglan, huh!" Tang Wulin felt a bit of pain; he still remembered Ye Xinglan's strong personality from three years ago. However, seeing Xu Lizhi's earnest attitude, he had no choice but to agree, "I have no objections. What about you guys?"
"How strong is she?" Luo Guixing inquired.
"Hey, Sister Xinglan is a thirty-seventh level Assault-type War Soul Venerable. She's even stronger than me," Xu Lizhi said, his chubby face breaking into a proud smile.
"Okay, I agree." Upon hearing about Ye Xinglan's strength, Luo Guixing immediately consented.
Yang Nianxia and Xu Yu Cheng also did not refuse.
"Little fatty." At that moment, Ye Xinglan walked over, waving her hand and calling out to him.
"Sister Xinglan!" Xu Lizhi immediately ran over excitedly.
"Are you planning to join their team?" Ye Xinglan glanced at Tang Wulin and the others, then asked Xu Lizhi.
"Yes, Sister Xinglan," Xu Lizhi nodded, "You too…"
"Then be careful and don't get deceived." A hint of helplessness appeared on Ye Xinglan's cold face as she continued, "I've decided to join Jing Shaoyu's team."
"Ah?" Xu Lizhi was very surprised by this news, his mouth agape in disbelief.
Seeing Xu Lizhi's reaction, Ye Xinglan felt a bit annoyed and said, "Alright, I just wanted to let you know. You can go find Tang Wulin and the others. I'm leaving now."
Ye Xinglan turned and walked away. Xu Lizhi, watching her retreating figure, returned to Tang Wulin and the others with a sense of loss. He said, "Tang Wulin, I'm sorry, Sister Xinglan has already joined Jing Shaoyu's team."
"Ah?" Tang Wulin and the others showed expressions of shock, and then their faces grew serious. Luo Guixing said solemnly, "It seems we need to reassess the combat power of Jing Shaoyu's team."
After Ye Xinglan returned, Jing Shaoyu stood up and said, "Let's go have lunch."
Thus, the six of them marched out of the classroom, and the boys watching this scene all showed envious looks.
As Jing Shaoyu and his group left the classroom for the cafeteria, Shen Yi returned to her office. Once back, she couldn't help but complain to Wu Zhangkong, "Senior, did you know? That Na'er from the Inner Academy is actually related to Jing Shaoyu; she calls him brother!"
"Really?" Wu Zhangkong looked quite surprised, narrowing his eyes as he asked, "Interesting."
"There's even more interesting stuff." Shen Yi said helplessly, "That girl got into a conflict with Gu Yue as soon as she arrived, almost fighting right in front of me. It was so embarrassing! So, I moved them both to the last row and arranged for Ye Xinglan to sit next to Jing Shaoyu. Hehe, watching those two girls' expressions was just too amusing."
"Well, with that, Ye Xinglan might also be pulled into Jing Shaoyu's team," Wu Zhangkong said thoughtfully. "That seems a bit too strong."
"Senior, you can't really think that anyone in the class can threaten the combination of the five class committee members, right?" Shen Yi said. "Unless Jing Shaoyu and his group don't team up, otherwise they will definitely be the strongest team in the first year."
"…" Wu Zhangkong fell silent.
Outer Academy, cafeteria.
The six of them sat in a quiet corner, the atmosphere somewhat tense. Gu Yue and Na'er nearly got into another fight over who would sit next to Jing Shaoyu, and in the end, it was Jing Shaoyu's anger that forced them to sit together, which finally calmed them down.
To be honest, if it weren't for Na'er, he wouldn't have known that Gu Yue could be so willful. Should he say they are indeed the same kind of person?
"Hehe, Xinglan, why don't you start by sharing your situation?" Xu Xiaoyan, sitting next to Jing Shaoyu, noticed the heavy atmosphere and took the initiative to break the dead silence.
"Sure." Ye Xinglan said expressionlessly, "I'm Ye Xinglan, a thirty-seventh level Assault-type War Soul Venerable, Martial Soul: Star God Sword."
"Is that it?" Seeing the girl's cold and beautiful face showing a hint of awkwardness, Jing Shaoyu asked.
"Is there anything else to say?" Ye Xinglan looked at Jing Shaoyu with a slightly confused expression, wondering.
"What's your secondary profession? What level? How's your Battle Armor preparation?" Jing Shaoyu inquired.
"Oh." Ye Xinglan nodded and added, "I'm a level four Mecha Manufacturer, and I don't have a Battle Armor yet."
"A Mecha Manufacturer!" Upon hearing Ye Xinglan's secondary profession, Xu Xiaoyan's face lit up with joy and surprise. She then said, "I'm also a level four Mecha Manufacturer! Xinglan, we can exchange ideas more in the future."
"Really? That's fine." A hint of a smile finally appeared on Ye Xinglan's cold face, surprisingly looking quite innocent.
"Na'er, it's your turn." Jing Shaoyu looked at Na'er, who was puffing her cheeks and looking at him with a resentful expression, and said sternly, "Introduce your situation to everyone."
"Okay." Na'er was obedient to Jing Shaoyu and said, "I'm a thirty-fifth level Assault-type War Soul Venerable, Martial Soul: Silver Dragon Lance, and my secondary profession is a level four Mecha Designer."
A hint of surprise flashed in Jing Shaoyu's eyes as he said, "Na'er, you're also a Mecha Designer? That's great! You and Gu Yue can communicate more; my Battle Armor will depend on both of you."
"I can do it alone." Gu Yue frowned and said.
"Brother, why do we need this annoying person? Na'er is enough by herself." Na'er's expression was even more straightforward, showing her dislike on her face.
Jing Shaoyu had expected the reactions of the two girls. He knew that the more they acted like this, the less he could indulge them. So, he darkened his face and said, "No! You two can either cooperate, or I'll design the Battle Armor myself. It's one or the other."
Upon hearing this, Na'er and Gu Yue both showed anxious expressions. Gu Yue was the first to relent, nodding in agreement with Jing Shaoyu.
Then Na'er also said, "I agree, brother."
"That's more like it!" Jing Shaoyu showed a satisfied expression and nodded.
He didn't expect Na'er and Gu Yue to become as close as sisters, but at least they shouldn't be at ea
ch other's throats upon meeting. That would give him a headache; if a fight broke out, he would feel heartbroken no matter who got hurt.
