Chapter 138: Various Small Groups

While Li Luo was inexplicably becoming an unlucky team leader on his side, in another small building.

Yu Lang was also sitting honestly on a meditation cushion, and to his right were Bai Dou Dou and another youth named Qiu Luo.

Opposite the three of them, a man with disheveled hair who appeared somewhat unrestrained was stretching, and this person was none other than the Purple Glow Mentor named Mi Er.

"You all know what needs to be said, so just work hard on your cultivation from now on." Mi Er smiled, then stood up.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Yu Lang and Bai Dou Dou both shook their heads, but Qiu Luo glanced at Yu Lang with a faint look in his eyes and asked, "Teacher, I would like to know why there is a teammate with such poor strength in our team?"

"To put it bluntly, he will be a burden to us in the future and might even lower our team's rating."

Yu Lang's eyes flickered, but a smile remained on his face, and he did not speak.

Bai Dou Dou frowned slightly.

Mentor Mi Er smiled and said, "Why look down on a companion?"

Qiu Luo said seriously, "It's not looking down, it's just speaking the truth. I don't like being held back. With a Sixth-Grade Resonance and Nine-Seal strength, he really isn't qualified to be my teammate."

Mentor Mi Er rubbed his chin and said somewhat helplessly, "But when I stepped into the Marquis Realm back then, I only had a Sixth-Grade Wind Resonance."

Qiu Luo was stunned, then said, "But not every Sixth-Grade Resonance can achieve what you have, Teacher."

Mentor Mi Er smiled and said, "Trust me, Yu Lang may not have your talent, but he will be a good teammate."

After saying this, he turned and left.

Seeing this, Qiu Luo shook his head helplessly, then looked at Yu Lang and said, "Although I don't know how you managed to get this Purple Glow Talisman, forcing yourself into a level that doesn't belong to you will only make you miserable in the end."

"You will eventually find that you aren't even as good as some Gold Glow students."

After the words fell, he turned and walked away.

Yu Lang looked at his back and frowned.

"Other people's mockery isn't important. If you have confidence in yourself, go work hard to surpass him," Bai Dou Dou said faintly.

Yu Lang said in a deep voice, "Others' humiliation only adds to my motivation!"

"Qiu Luo, is it..."

Hearing this, Bai Dou Dou nodded slightly. This Yu Lang seemed unserious, but he actually had some hot-bloodedness; being provoked by Qiu Luo now was a good thing.

And just as she was thinking this, Yu Lang snorted coldly, "Later, I'll find my good brother Li Luo to beat him up!"

Bai Dou Dou almost lost her breath. She clutched her chest, feeling some pain. Just how naive must she be to think this person could pull himself together?

So in the end, she could only cast a look of disappointment at Yu Lang and turn to leave.

Yu Lang watched her departing back, gave a dry laugh, then rubbed his head and sighed softly.

It seems being a student of a Purple Glow Mentor isn't that easy either...

"Do you guys want a drink?"

Lu Qinger looked at the burly middle-aged man in front of her. The latter was all smiles, clutching a wine jar in his hand, speaking to them very enthusiastically, looking as if he also wanted to pour them a drink.

Lu Qinger had a bit of a headache.

This was her Purple Glow Mentor, Cao Sheng?

How did he look so unreliable?

Lu Qinger sighed in her heart and glanced at Yin Yue, who was also shaking her head beside her. This was a girl who looked quite elegant; in the current room, she and Lu Qinger were probably the only normal people.

Thinking of this, Lu Qinger's gaze swept to the corner of the room, where Qin Zhulu stood expressionlessly, eight hundred meters away from her and Yin Yue. If not for the limited size of the room, Lu Qinger had no doubt this person would stand somewhere out of her line of sight.

"Is he gynophobic to this extent..."

Lu Qinger shook her head slightly and met Yin Yue's eyes, seeing the same embarrassment and helplessness in the other's gaze.

"Why am I not in the same group as Li Luo..." Lu Qinger bit her lip, feeling slightly resentful. This was something she had looked forward to for a long time.

"Hehe, Qinger." At this moment, Mentor Cao Sheng suddenly looked at Lu Qinger with a smile, his eyes full of gentleness.

Lu Qinger felt a bit uncomfortable under his gaze and forced a smile, "Teacher."

"Is your mother doing well?" Mentor Cao Sheng suddenly asked with some bashfulness.

The expression on Lu Qinger's pretty face stiffened slightly. Yin Yue, who was on the side, immediately cast a look full of gossip, and even Qin Zhulu raised his head.

"Teacher... knows my mother?" Lu Qinger didn't know what expression to use to respond.

"Sigh, we're old acquaintances." Cao Sheng sighed softly, and this sigh seemed to be filled with many stories.

"Seeing you, I can't help but think of your mother..."

Lu Qinger's expression was very colorful as she said, "It wouldn't be because of this reason that you chose me, right, Mentor?"

"That's not it. Qinger, your potential is enough to be a Purple Glow student, don't belittle yourself," Cao Sheng quickly smiled.

"..." Lu Qinger couldn't help but clench her small hands. Mentor, why do you look so guilty?

It seems that after returning home this time, it is necessary to ask Mother what exactly is going on with this Mentor Cao Sheng.

"I only have one requirement for you: become the strongest team among the freshmen."

Shen Jinxiao looked at Wang Hejiu, Duze Beixuan, and Qi Luozi with a calm expression, but his quiet words contained immense pressure.

The three of them nodded heavily.

"Beixuan, you lost to Li Luo in the Teacher Selection Tournament, but there is no need to be discouraged because of it. That was only because you didn't anticipate his dual resonances. Li Luo's second resonance is not of a high grade, and its potential is limited."

Shen Jinxiao's gaze rested on Duze Beixuan as he said, "I hope that the next time you meet him, you can wash away your shame. My, Shen Jinxiao's, students will not lose to the same person twice. Do you remember?"

Duze Beixuan's expression shifted, then he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, Teacher, I will definitely cultivate with all my might to wash away this shame!"

Shen Jinxiao lowered his eyes and said calmly, "If you lose again, I will have to let Wang Hejiu help you get back at him."

Hearing this, Wang Hejiu tapped his palm gently with his jade folding fan, a smile appearing on his face.

Li Luo, is it?

Lu Qinger had previously tried to intercept him for his sake.

If there was a chance, he really wanted to see just how much ability this young House Master of the House of Luolan had with his dual resonances. If he defeated him, surely Lu Qinger might consider him, right?

In Wang Hejiu's mind, Lu Qinger's beautiful face and those perfect jade hands that were hard to forget after a single glance flashed by. He was a perfectionist; he liked anything without flaws, and Lu Qinger's delicate hands were the most perfect works of art he had ever seen. If he could hold those little hands in his arms, that would be the highest achievement in the world.

Thus, he smiled at Duze Beixuan, "If you need anything, just ask."

Duze Beixuan was expressionless and did not answer. Instead, he bowed to Shen Jinxiao and turned to leave.
