Chapter 309

While speaking, the principal hurried over, seemingly followed by some big shot behind him, causing the principal to frequently turn back and smile apologetically.

Lu Wei's expression turned tense, and she hurriedly said to Lin Meng:

"Sister, the principal and Bai Shen have arrived; I'm going back to my seat first."

Lin Meng nodded at Lu Wei, then while looking toward the auditorium entrance, she whispered to Ye Xiu beside her:

"Lu Wei is not bad; you can get to know her more."

Ye Xiu had originally seen Lu Wei leave sensibly, and he secretly felt glad, finally being able to sit alone in a row with his sister again.

Who would have thought that the next second he heard Lin Meng's message to interact more with Lu Wei, his heart sank instantly, his mind in turmoil.

"What does sister mean by this?"

"She thinks Lu Wei is not bad; is she trying to set us up?"

Ye Xiu, upon thinking of this possibility, felt utterly awful.

Lin Meng didn't notice Ye Xiu's emotional change and continued speaking.

She whispered:

"You don't know yet? This girl's awakened talent is the same as yours, both S-rank, and in my view her ability is very good; she's an indispensable healer. Get along well with her, be friends, and later if you get injured, getting her treatment should come with a discount."

"Moreover, you Night Watchers should be pairing up for missions, right? You should definitely try to team up with Lu Wei as much as possible; she can guarantee the squad always has logistical support. Never underestimate the role of a healer in a team."

"Of course, I'm not asking you to use her; since you're being friends, you should treat her sincerely. As a healer, her attack and defense will be weak points, so you must protect her well."

Lin Meng said a lot, hoping Ye Xiu would learn to get along well with classmates and strive to make a few true friends whom he could unconditionally trust with his back.

Being a lone wolf is too hard in any era; sometimes one must learn teamwork.

And Ye Xiu had been hurt before, making trust hard to build for him; Lin Meng didn't want him to be a lone wolf in this world, for that path is arduous and lonely.

Ye Xiu never expected that sister's reason for letting him interact with Lu Wei was this connection.

He wished he could slap himself, spending all day thinking about all sorts of nonsense.

Sister always worries about his development and safety, yet he constantly feels she is pushing him outward, pushing him onto others.

If sister knew his thoughts just now, she would surely think he is a psychologically dark person, right?

No, he cannot let sister see his true thoughts; he must hide all his negative sides, and in front of sister always act as a cheerful, positive young man.

"Hmm, sister, your analysis is correct; classmate Lu Wei is indeed outstanding. As a healer, her destiny is to stand high and go far."

"I will heed sister's advice, be friends with Lu Wei, and help each other."

Lin Meng nodded upon hearing that, "Exactly. Don't think that just because you were bitten by a dog before, no one in this world can be trusted."

"When you become a true Night Watcher in the future, you will inevitably face teamwork; you can start in college by trying to build your own team, and when capable, you can also select and train some subordinates."

Ye Xiu listened attentively.

He had never before thought about forming a team or training subordinates.

But after Lin Meng said that, he felt it wasn't bad either.

While speaking, the principal had already gone to meet Bai Shen and arrived at the auditorium stage.

The entire auditorium erupted with excitement upon Bai Shen's arrival.

Lin Mengye also ended her conversation with Ye Xiu, raised her head, and looked toward the stage.

Only seen beside a white-haired, elderly figure stood a youthful-looking figure.

He wore a neat suit, his tie equally immaculate.

His short hair, parted three-seven, was actually white, and even his eyebrows were white.

Those eyes, seeming able to see through everything, were much lighter than others' pupils; in sunlight they were a pale gold.

Lin Meng felt at a glance that this person seemed to have stepped out of a comic, giving a subtle, peculiar feeling.

"Your Bai Shen is actually quite handsome."

Lin Meng murmured softly, only Ye Xiu could hear.

Ye Xiu frowned upon hearing it, feeling a bit sour inside.

"Sister rates Bai Shen's appearance highly; does she like this type?"

Ye Xiu, after thinking, lowered his voice and slowly shared the information he knew.

"It is said that this Bai Shen has already reached the Supernatural Realm, the first person in Dragon Nation to cultivate to this level since the resurgence of the ghostly qi a century ago, so people honor him as a god."

"However, there are also rumors that he has lived from a hundred years ago until now, truly experiencing the entire century of ghostly qi."

Lin Meng couldn't help but be secretly surprised upon hearing that; after thinking, she asked:

"Do you know what his supernatural power is? And what level is his talent?"

Ye Xiu saw that sister wasn't concerned about Bai Shen's age issue, he was momentarily stunned, then said:

"I don't know exactly what Bai Shen's supernatural ability is; it has never been disclosed, but reportedly it is related to spatial law."

Lin Meng was startled again upon hearing that.

"Spatial law—could it also be of the spatial system?"

Just then, Bai Shen had already taken his seat, and the entire auditorium fell silent.

Bai Shen's dignity is beyond doubt; even several strong experts present clearly began to feel intimidated, their postures turning restrained.

After the principal's remarks, he respectfully invited Bai Shen onto the stage.

He adjusted his crisp suit and began speaking, entering the lecture segment.

His voice was very pleasant, magnetic with a hint of elegance; although he is the strongest in Dragon Nation, he gives off a feeling of closeness, like an older brother.

Lin Meng stared fixedly at Bai Shen, not daring to lightly use her mental and spiritual power.

She felt that Bai Shen's strength was enough to easily crush her.

Although Lin Meng had entered the path of cultivation, she had never been arrogant or overconfident.

"There are heavens beyond heavens, people beyond people; the rules of this uncanny world are no lower than those of the Tian Gang Continent, and the strong here must also have their own formidable strengths."

Ye Xiu couldn't hear Bai Shen's lecture at all this moment; his heart was entirely on Lin Meng.

Watching her, Bai Shen on the podium looking attentively, he felt uneasy inside, a sour feeling filling his chest, and finally he couldn't help but say those words.

"Sister, this Bai Shen might already be over a hundred years old."

As Ye Xiu finished speaking, his hands clenched tightly into fists, nervously waiting for Lin Meng's reaction.

Lin Meng merely nodded slightly, then said:

"Strong cultivators aren't considered old at a hundred years; as far as I know, the Youfang World likewise has what is called extraordinary power. There, a hundred years old is like an infant, and two or three hundred years old is still just a greenhorn in those people's eyes—only those who have lived over a thousand years are considered experienced and profound in cultivation."

Cultivators seek longevity; the supreme may live as long as heaven itself, their lifespans endless.

Even Lin Meng herself, with her current Foundation Establishment cultivation, already has two or three years of lifespan to spare.

A mere hundred years is nothing— in mortal eyes, one is an old fogey, a veteran.

But in Lin Meng's eyes today, he's nothing more than a mere youngster……
