198: Zhai Ningning (Photo)
“Alright, if there’s nothing else, go back and improve your combat strength. It’ll be great when you can make me feel at ease like Little San!” Yu Gang said with a frown.
“Yes, Great Master, I will go back and Cultivate myself diligently now!” Dai Dabai respectfully replied.
‘Hmph, you old piece of trash, a mere Golden Core dares to boss me around? If you hadn’t promised to help me ascend to the throne, would I tolerate this Qi from you? Once I control the White Tiger Empire, you’ll be the first to die!’
Although he was very unconvinced in his heart, such thoughts were best kept to himself. He still had to concede when necessary.
“Alright, you and Zhu Zhu hurry back and prepare for the Academy competition. Don’t let any more accidents happen!”
“Yes!” Dai Dabai left the room.
“Little San, what are your thoughts on this matter?” Seeing Dai Dabai leave, Yu Gang looked at Tang Sirui.
Tang Sirui pondered for a moment, then said, “Great Master, I think we should inform the Dean about this as soon as possible and let him decide. The Mountain and Sea Realm incident was too unsightly of a failure. This concerns our Academy’s reputation, and outsiders absolutely cannot know about it.”
Yu Gang nodded in satisfaction. Among all his Disciples, only Tang Sirui truly pleased him. He was almost an all-rounder in every aspect, completely outperforming anyone else in the team!
Little did he know, after Tang Sirui achieved success and fame in the future… well, he met Chen Xuan, so it would be difficult to achieve success and fame.
“It’s just that there’s one more thing this Disciple doesn’t understand!”
“Are you talking about Chen Xuan? I think he truly has a lot of talent. It would be too wasteful to leave such a Genius unused!”
“But he and I are similar in some aspects…”
“Alright, it’s actually different. Medical skills and poison skills are two separate things, and I’ve already thought about his arrangements!” Yu Gang smiled slightly, feigning profoundness.
“I’d like to hear it!”
“For the team competition, there are only seven spots at most. Chen Xuan, with no combat strength, is naturally not suitable for your Monster Group. However, he can be your substitute, an unofficial member!
This way, your team not only gains a doctor who can treat you for free, but it can also give those individuals a sense of urgency, urging them to Cultivate diligently!”
Tang Sirui’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.
“Great Master’s thoughts are truly thorough; this Disciple was short-sighted!”
“Don’t worry, I promised you that he wouldn’t join the Monster Group, and he won’t. I’ll mention this to the Dean later. You should also go back and prepare well!”
“Yes, Great Master.”
Tang Sirui turned and left the room.
…
“Zhu Zhu, I was wrong some time ago. I will definitely correct my mistakes. I hope we can let bygones be bygones and start anew. I hope you can give me a chance!”
“A chance? Hmph, do you think someone who has lost trust can regain it?” Zhu Zhu said coldly.
Then she ignored Dai Dabai and walked away.
Seeing this, Dai Dabai’s face turned ashen, and hatred began to fester in his heart.
One day, he would eliminate all his enemies, including that bitch Zhu Zhu, and those damned Gangzi and Little San!
He wanted this sky to no longer obscure his eyes, and this earth to no longer bury his heart…
The next day, Chen Xuan was invited to a training ground of the Zhang Family, where Jade Master was going to introduce him to the members of the Monster Group.
“This is the leader. I don’t need to introduce him.” Jade Master pointed to Dai Dabai.
“This cook is our second-in-command, named Yan Xi. Don’t let him being a cook fool you; he’s absolutely flawless in support!” Yu Gang then pointed to a brown-haired man.
“Hello, Brother Chen Xuan, I’m Yan Xi. Please take care of me in the future!” Yan Xi greeted enthusiastically.
“Not at all, Brother Yan should be taking care of me!”
“This is the third-in-command, whom you’ve met. He’s an all-rounder, responsible for command and control in the team, the team’s brain!”
“Hello, Third Brother, I’ve heard much about you!”
“Brother Chen, you don’t need to be reserved; just treat this place as your Family!” Tang Sirui was very enthusiastic.
“Chen Xuan, this is Zhai Ningning. She has a very significant background; she’s the legitimate daughter, the only daughter, of the Zhai family, one of the four great Cultivation Families in the Southern Heaven Domain! Being able to become friends with her is indeed a very rare thing.” Dai Dabai directly interrupted Jade Master’s words and enthusiastically began to introduce her to Chen Xuan himself.
After all, at this moment, for him, as the leader, he could only win over Chen Xuan. If Chen Xuan wasn’t on his side either, he would become a lone commander!
Chen Xuan looked over upon hearing this, only to see a beautiful Young Miss with an ethereal aura slowly approaching.
Zhai Ningning had a delicate oval face, skin like congealed cream, lips like painted cinnabar, and eyes like stars. Her eyebrows were long, her nose bridge high, and her proud demeanor made people unable to help but look at her more.
Her figure was also very graceful, with exquisite curves, and a blue dress accentuated her as if a Fairy had descended to the human world.
However, aside from her initial surprise at his good looks when she first saw Chen Xuan, the rest of her expression towards Chen Xuan was only indifference.
‘She’s truly beautiful, but unfortunately, he’s just a Lower Realm native!’
It seemed that in her eyes, a native from the Lower Realm was not worthy of knowing her.
But at this moment, since Yu Gang introduced her, she had no choice but to put on a show.
She instantly changed her expression, took light steps, walked to Chen Xuan, smiled slightly, opened her cherry lips, and her voice was as clear and pleasant as an oriole: “You’re Chen Xuan, right? Hello! My name is Zhai Ningning, you can call me Ningning!”
Chen Xuan smiled back and returned the greeting: “Hello, Young Miss Ningning! It’s a pleasure to meet you!”
However, at this moment, a hint of cunning flashed in Zhai Ningning’s eyes: “Chen Xuan, I heard that Crown Prince Dai found you in the Lower Realm, and you’re a rare Genius!”
“You flatter me, Young Miss Ningning! Crown Prince Dai is too kind!” Chen Xuan said humbly.
“Leader Dai, Ningning wants Yan Xi and Chen Xuan to spar a bit, if that’s alright?” Zhai Ningning suddenly made a request to spar.
Dai Dabai was stunned for a moment, then laughed: “Ningning, Chen Xuan has just joined us. He hasn’t had time to get familiar with the environment yet. Is it appropriate to spar at this time?”
Zhai Ningning’s lips curled into a slight smile: “Leader Dai, Ningning just wants to see Yan Xi and Chen Xuan spar; it’s not a life-and-death fight, it won’t affect his familiarity with the environment!”
“Alright, Chen Xuan is a doctor; he’s not good at fighting. If he goes up, he definitely won’t be your opponent! Besides, I haven’t finished introducing everyone yet. We’ll talk about this later!” Yu Gang directly refused.
“Ah?! Well, alright!” Seeing Yu Gang refuse, Zhai Ningning couldn’t say much more.
It’s so boring not being able to see the sycophant beat up the native!
Chen Xuan looked at the disappointed Zhai Ningning and found that she had changed her expression again, now sitting proudly on a chair, ignoring Chen Xuan, with a look of disdain on her face.
