Chapter 57: Accommodation Arrangements

"That guy Xiao Jing is just short-sighted!"

Yan Zhining curled her lips and said, "I don't just want Qin Jian to join our academy; I also want him to join the Tianshui Team."

"Join the Tianshui Team?!"

Xue Wu opened her mouth wide: "Instructor, the candidates for our Tianshui Team have already been decided..."

Not just her, even the other students who heard were stunned.

"Besides, if a male appears in our Tianshui Academy team, we will be laughed at by other academies!" Xue Wu frowned and said.

Yan Zhining grabbed Qin Jian's hand and continued walking.

"Qin Jian will not only join the Tianshui Team, but he will also be the captain!"

Once these words were spoken, there was silence all around.

"Instructor Zhineng... you must be joking..."

Xue Wu's expression was extremely ugly: "Our captain is clearly Bing'er! How can you change the person?!"

Qin Jian glanced at her expression and felt... it was a bit interesting...

It seemed she was particularly concerned about Shui Bing'er...

Could it be a man's heart in a woman's body, a transgender person?

"Xue Wu, to be honest, do you really think our Tianshui Team still has hope with Bing'er's personality as captain?" Yan Zhining turned her head and asked.

Xue Wu's lips moved, wanting to say something to defend herself, but she had no way to do so.

"But Instructor, we only recognize Bing'er as captain; even if we lose the competition because of it, it doesn't matter..." she finally said.

Yan Zhining's voice became serious: "Xue Wu, the Tianshui Team belongs to the academy and represents the academy's glory; it is not a place that can be decided by your personal wishes."

Xue Wu clenched her fists, glanced at Qin Jian, and still couldn't help but say: "But I don't think there will be any change with a male as captain; it might even get worse!"

"Hehe..."

Yan Zhining revealed an inscrutable smile: "Not to mention you all, at least for Bing'er, this is a bombshell, and I am looking forward to seeing the effect."

Qin Jian's heart stirred.

This Instructor Zhineng seems to know that Shui Bing'er has feelings for him; it looks like she is not only doing this for the academy's glory, but also wants to use this to change Shui Bing'er?

"Instructor Zhineng, Instructor Xiao Jing is coming over!"

Just at this moment, Xue Wu suddenly pulled nervously on the hand Yan Zhining had free.

"What are you afraid of? I dare to do it, so I dare to take responsibility!"

Yan Zhining was not afraid at all.

Qin Jian looked up and saw a female figure in icy blue attire shooting over at high Speed along the lush, tree-shaded avenue.

"Yan Zhining!"

The woman's furious voice made all the nearby students fall silent like cicadas in winter.

"I told you! Our Tianshui Academy only accepts beautiful female students! This boy absolutely cannot enroll!"

Her words caused all eyes to fall on Qin Jian, whom Yan Zhining was pulling, full of curiosity.

Is this boy going to trigger a struggle among the higher-ups?

"Xiao Jing, I have already reported this matter to the higher-ups' meeting; whether he can enroll is not something you alone can decide." Yan Zhining looked coldly at the female instructor opposite her.

It was very obvious that the two of them were mortal enemies.

"But the higher-ups haven't fully agreed yet; they only said to wait until he arrived to hold a meeting and discuss it. You have now brought him in privately!" Xiao Jing pointed at Qin Jian with disgust.

This woman... could it be that she only likes women...

Qin Jian silently sized up the other party.

This was a matter for their academy's higher-ups, and he had nothing to interject.

"Then let's convene a higher-ups' meeting; I will take him to handle the procedures first."

Yan Zhining pulled Qin Jian and started to walk away, not caring at all.

"You are busy making arrangements now, but when he is eventually kicked out, I'll see how you clean up this mess."

Xiao Jing flicked her sleeves and turned to walk toward the academy's central building.

"Then let's wait and see, and see if the higher-up instructors are foolish enough to block a student that other Element Academies are fighting over from the door."

Yan Zhining tossed her long hair and dragged Qin Jian away: "Let's go, Instructor will arrange your accommodation."

Xue Wu followed by her side and whispered a reminder: "Instructor Zhineng, our Tianshui Team has its own small building; you aren't planning on letting him live with us, are you?"

"Of course, you are all in the same team from now on; surely you don't expect to live separately?" Yan Zhining said as if it were a matter of course.

Xue Wu's eyes widened slightly: "Instructor, he is not a girl; how can he live with us! Besides, there are only four rooms in total, and we have already assigned them!"

"I remember Qiu Ruoshui seems to be living in a room by herself, and there are two beds in each room anyway..."

Yan Zhining pinched her chin and said to herself: "Adding a Qin Jian in there is absolutely no problem!"

"Instructor Zhineng, Ruoshui is so careless; how can she live with him? What if she gets taken advantage of?" Xue Wu kept raising objections.

Qin Jian wisely remained silent.

He had some understanding of this Instructor Zhineng's thoughts, but wasn't she afraid that throwing him in like this would be counterproductive... and the Tianshui Team would completely collapse...

Yan Zhining heard Xue Wu's words and actually nodded, saying: "That's true, Ruoshui really isn't suitable..."

"Exactly, exactly!"

Seeing hope, Xue Wu hurriedly added fuel to the fire: "So, he really isn't suitable to live with us. Instructor Zhineng, you should arrange him somewhere else."

"He is just not suitable to live with Ruoshui..."

The strange smile on the corner of Yan Zhining's mouth made Xue Wu's whole body tense up.

"Instru... Instructor... what idea have you come up with again?" she asked cautiously.

It was just that this instructor's train of thought was too erratic, and the decisions she made were always astonishing; Xue Wu subconsciously felt that something bad was about to happen.

Sure enough, Yan Zhining clapped her hands and said, "Qin Jian is not suitable to be with Ruoshui, so Xue Wu, you move and sleep with Ruoshui, and Qin Jian will stay with Bing'er!"

"Ah! No, don't!"

Xue Wu let out a miserable cry, tugging hard on Yan Zhining's hand: "You cannot separate me from Bing'er!"

Qin Jian felt his eyes were opened.

As expected of a women's academy, these relationships... tsk tsk tsk... are very complicated...

"Alright, alright, I have already accepted your suggestion, otherwise Qin Jian and Ruoshui would be living together; you are not allowed to raise any more objections, move your things when we go back."

Yan Zhining waved her hand, ignoring Xue Wu's resentful gaze.

Finally, the three of them appeared in front of a small building leaning against a mountain.

Yan Zhining swaggered in with Qin Jian: "A new member has joined, children, come out quickly and welcome him!"

Her unreserved voice echoed through the small building.

The way she said that... it was like welcoming guests...

This was a two-story building; the first floor was a huge living room, and the ceiling was open, allowing one to see the exquisite roof.

Four large rooms were distributed around the second-floor corridor, and one could see the scene in the hall as soon as one stepped out.

However, there was not much response to Yan Zhining's voice, and only two female students walked out in total.

"Eh? Is it you? Qin Jian?"

A voice with a hint of surprise rang out, and Qin Jian immediately looked over to see Shui Bing'er standing prettily by the second-floor railing.

The young girl on the other side immediately looked very interested: "Qin Jian? Is he the person you, Bing'er, have been mentioning often lately?"
