Chapter 191: Chapter 91 Training the Shenxing Battle Team

“Ruoxi, where are you from?” Su Yunjin sat down next to her, pouring her some tea.

Xie Ruoxi seemed pleasantly surprised and replied in a quiet voice with a smile:

“I’m from Baoqing, Jingnan.”

“Ah, that’s a nice place,” Su Yunjin said with a smile (though she actually had no idea where it was), “Here, drink some tea.”

Xie Ruoxi took the tea and then heard Su Yunjin continue:

“We’ve all watched the ‘Yan Zhanlong’ video, and you did a great job. Ruoxi, are you a professional video editor?”

“No, not really,” Xie Ruoxi replied truthfully, “I’m a photographer.”

“If you’re a photographer, why did Yan Yu hire you for post-production?” Lin Ning blurted out curiously.

“I don’t know either,” Xie Ruoxi confessed, “We met at the ‘Slaying the Dragon’ event, exchanged contacts, and then later he offered me work and had me fly over to Jinling.”

The girls exchanged looks, alarms ringing in their heads.

So, this girl was just someone Yan Yu picked up along the road?

Having only met once and being complete strangers before that, how could he possibly know her professional abilities so well, to be aware that she’s skilled at video editing and post-production? Clearly, it was all pretext, just luring her over with false pretenses!

“So where is Yan Yu?” Zhao Yuanzhen asked with a sneer.

“I don’t know, he’s not at home today,” Xie Ruoxi replied, her voice trembling with fear again.

“Then we’ll just wait for him here at home!” Lin Ning declared righteously, as if she couldn’t wait to tear the scoundrel apart herself.

The girls were sharpening their knives, Xie Ruoxi was quivering in fear, but only Chen Lingyun remained calm and collected, quietly assessing Xie Ruoxi’s appearance.

Although she’s pretty, sorry, you’re not the prettiest one in this villa.

Yan Yu could dismiss any girl here with “You’re not worthy,” so he surely wasn’t so desperate as to pick someone from the boonies. It’s more likely that, because of his advantage of foresight from past life knowledge, he knew this girl from out of town had some hidden value, which is why he specially bought her a plane ticket to the villa.

Humph, sorry to say, no one understands Yan Yu better than me.

Of course, even though she saw right through the nature of this situation, Chen Lingyun had no intention of explaining it to the others.

What’s fun about the truth? I’m here for the bloodbath!

“Don’t call him just yet,” Su Yunjin said gently, “We wouldn’t want to scare the captain.”

If you call him, he’ll be on his guard and think of excuses on his way back, and we won’t be able to get to the real reason why he’s sheltering Xie Ruoxi.

“Yeah, that’s true.” Lin Ning went into the kitchen, returned with a gleaming fruit knife, and Xie Ruoxi on the sofa shuddered again.

Everyone’s speaking normally, but what’s with this dangerous atmosphere, as if someone might die at any moment?! So this is the ‘battlefield’ often mentioned in novels, comics, animations, and games, right? How terrifying, why are there so many scary women around Yan Yu!

Xie Ruoxi trembled in fear, but Lin Ning, holding the fruit knife, ignored her and silently sat down next to Su Yunjin, picking up an apple on the coffee table and started peeling it.

Zhao Yuanzhen sat on the other side of Xie Ruoxi, legs crossed, a brooding expression on her face as she stared at the front door, leaving no room for Xie Ruoxi to muster the courage to speak to her.

Such a terrifying scene, so terrifying, wuu wuu wuu, Yan Yu, please come back quickly!

Meanwhile, Yan Yu’s visit to the school was not for leisure, but rather he headed straight to Shenxing Battle Team’s training ground, where Qiu Ze and his team were waiting for him.

“Welcome, Captain Yan!” He greeted enthusiastically, and everyone came over to shake hands and get acquainted with Yan Yu, like a fan meet-and-greet.

Naturally, as the number one cultivator of the Zhendong Army, it wasn’t an exaggeration for fellow cultivators to call themselves his fans.

“No need to be so formal,” Yan Yu shook hands with everyone in turn, as they introduced themselves one by one.

Qiu Ze needed no introduction; he was the captain of the Shenxing Battle Team, an old classmate who had known Yan Yu since the beginning of the school year. His profession is Assistant Officer, his magical weapon is a gourd that releases a whip-like blue light, it’s versatile and agile in both attack and defense.

The vice-captain, Sun Ziyi, was quiet and subdued, wearing glasses. His profession was Sword Immortal, and he practiced a rare form of Sword Qi cultivation–their flying sword, named “Formless Sword,” was actually a sword pill, relying on externally emitted Sword Qi for attacking, invisible and colorless, quite interesting.

Member Zhang Yang, profession Sword Immortal, utilized a standard flying sword.

Member Song Qiao, a cultivator of Taoism Method, practiced “Secret Qi Dan Yun Fire.” Unlike Zhou Hongyu’s Bright Light Fire, Song Qiao’s fire could appear out of thin air at specific locations, similar to an advanced version of Flame Curse with more powerful effects.

Member Chang Sisi, profession Servant Envoy, followed the commonly chosen by female envoys beast-taming path, currently she had tamed a Night-Watching Lion Dog, a white furred large dog nearly two meters long, majestic and imposing.

The job distribution in the Shenxing Battle Team matched exactly with the Zhenhai Team. The four major professions were almost fully represented, with an extra Sword Immortal for flexibility and adaptation, whether this composition was directed from above or was the idea of Qiu Ze and Sun Ziyi themselves was unknown.

“Captain Yan, there’s no time like the present,” after some pleasantries, Qiu Ze tentatively asked, “Would you mind giving us some pointers, to see what issues everyone might have?”

“Sure,” Yan Yu nodded and said, “Are you guys fighting one by one, or all together?”

His words were brimming with dominance, as “all together” implied “I can take on all five of you no problem,” but none of the members of the Shenxing Battle Team felt anything amiss–this was the renowned Yan Zhanlong after all! Have you seen his video or not? Even if the five of us teamed up, could we take down a Flood Dragon?
