Chapter 138: Each Group

While Li Luo had inexplicably become the unlucky team captain, in another small building.

Seeing Yu Lang was also obediently sitting cross-legged on a meditation cushion. To his right were Bai Bai Doudou and another youth named Qiu Luo.

Across from the three of them, a man with disheveled hair looking somewhat unruly was stretching lazily. This person was none other than the Purple-Glare mentor named Mentor Mi Er.

"What needed to be said has been said. In any case, work hard on your cultivation from now on." Mentor Mi Er smiled, then stood up.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Seeing Yu Lang and Bai Bai Doudou both shook their heads, but Qiu Luo glanced at Seeing Yu Lang with a flat look and asked, "Teacher, I want to know why our team has a teammate whose strength is so poor?"

"To put it bluntly, in the future he'll be a drag on us, and might even drag down our team's rating."

Seeing Yu Lang's eyes shifted slightly, but a smile still hung on his face. He said nothing.

Bai Bai Doudou's brow furrowed slightly.

Mentor Mentor Mi Er smiled and said, "Why look down on your companions?"

Qiu Luo said seriously, "It's not looking down, it's just speaking the truth. I don't like being held back. A sixth-grade phase, nine-seal strength—he really doesn't have the qualifications to be my teammate."

Mentor Mentor Mi Er stroked his chin, somewhat helplessly saying, "But when I stepped into the Marquis Realm back then, I was only a sixth-grade wind phase too."

Qiu Luo was stunned for a moment, then said, "But not every sixth-grade phase can reach your achievements, Teacher."

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

After saying that, he turned and left.

Seeing this, Qiu Luo shook his head helplessly, then looked at Seeing Yu Lang and said, "Although I don't know how you managed to get this Purple-Glare Fu Yin, forcing yourself to a level that doesn't belong to you—the one who suffers in the end will only be yourself."

"You'll find out then that you're not even as good as some Gold-Glare students."

His words fell, and he turned and walked away.

Seeing Yu Lang stared at his retreating back, frowning slightly.

"The mockery of others isn't important. If you have confidence in yourself, then work hard to overtake him," Bai Bai Doudou said flatly.

Seeing Yu Lang said in a low voice, "The humiliation from others is nothing more than adding to my motivation!"

"Qiu Luo, is it..."

Hearing this, Bai Bai Doudou finally nodded slightly. This Seeing Yu Lang seemed improper on the surface, but actually had some hot-bloodedness. Being provoked by Qiu Luo now was actually a good thing.

And while she was thinking this, Seeing Yu Lang had already snorted coldly: "I'll find my good brother Li Luo later and we'll beat him up together!"

Bai Bai Doudou nearly choked. She clutched her chest, feeling a bit of chest pain. Just how naive would she have to be to think this person could pull himself together and rise up.

So in the end, she could only glare at Seeing Yu Lang in frustration at his lack of ambition, then turned and left.

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

Being a student of a Purple-Glare mentor didn't seem as easy as he'd thought...

"Do you guys drink?"

Lv Qing'er looked at the burly middle-aged man before her. The latter was all smiles at this moment, holding a wine jar in his hand, speaking to them very warmly, and looking like he also wanted to pour them some wine.

Lv Qing'er had a bit of a headache.

This was her Purple-Glare mentor, Cao Sheng?

Why did he look so unreliable?

Lv Qing'er sighed in her heart, glanced at Yin Yin Yue beside her who was also shaking her head. Yin Yin Yue was a girl who looked quite elegant. In the current room, probably only she and Lv Qing'er herself could be considered normal people.

Thinking of this, Lv Qing'er's gaze swept to the corner of the room, where Qin Qin Zhulu stood expressionlessly, eight hundred meters away from her and Yin Yin Yue. If the room didn't have an area limit, Lv Qing'er wouldn't doubt for a second that this person would stand somewhere out of her line of sight.

"Is he this afraid of women..."

Lv Qing'er shook her head slightly. Her eyes met Yin Yin Yue's, and she could see awkward helplessness in the other's gaze as well.

"Why couldn't I be in the same group as Li Luo..." Lv Qing'er bit her lip, feeling a trace of grievance. This was something she had been looking forward to for a long time.

"Hehe, Qing'er." At this moment, Mentor Cao Sheng suddenly looked at Lv Qing'er with a beaming smile, his eyes full of warmth.

Lv Qing'er felt a bit uncomfortable under his gaze, and forced a smile: "Teacher."

"How's your mother doing?" Mentor Cao Sheng suddenly asked, a little awkwardly.

The expression on Lv Qing'er's pretty face stiffened slightly. Yin Yin Yue beside her immediately cast a gaze full of gossipy meaning, and even Qin Qin Zhulu raised his head.

"Teacher... do you know my mother?" Lv Qing'er wasn't quite sure what expression to use to respond.

"Sigh, old acquaintances." Cao Sheng sighed softly, and that sigh seemed to contain many stories.

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

Lv Qing'er's expression was very colorful. She said, "It couldn't be because of this reason that you chose me as your student, could it?"

"That's not it. Your potential, Qing'er, is enough to become a Purple-Glare student. Don't sell yourself short." Cao Sheng hurriedly smiled.

"..." Lv Qing'er's small hand couldn't help but clench slightly. Teacher, why do you look so guilty?

It seemed that after returning home this time, it was necessary to ask mother just what was going on with this Mentor Cao Sheng.

"I only have one requirement for you all—become the strongest team among the new students."

Shen Shen Jinxiao looked calmly at Wang Wang Hejiu, Duze Duze Beixuan, and Qi Qi Luozi before him. His calm words contained tremendous pressure.

The three all nodded heavily.

"Duze Beixuan, in the Mentor Selection Tournament, you lost to Li Luo, but there's no need to be discouraged over it. That was only because you didn't anticipate his dual phases. Li Luo's second phase isn't of a high grade, and his potential is limited."

Shen Shen Jinxiao's gaze settled on Duze Duze Beixuan as he said, "I hope that next time you encounter him, you can wipe away that disgrace. My student Shen Shen Jinxiao's student will not lose to the same person twice. Remember that?"

Duze Duze Beixuan's expression shifted, then he gritted his teeth and said, "Rest assured, Teacher. I will cultivate with all my might and wash away this shame!"

Shen Shen Jinxiao lowered his eyes and said flatly, "If you lose again when the time comes, I can only have Wang Wang Hejiu go help you get back your face."

Hearing this, Wang Wang Hejiu lightly tapped his palm with the jade-green folding fan in his hand, a smile appearing on his face.

Li Luo?

Lv Qing'er had previously forced herself to intercept him for that person's sake.

If there was a chance, he really did want to see just how capable the dual phases of this young lord of House Luolan Mansion were. If he defeated him, then perhaps Lv Qing'er could consider him, right?

In Wang Hecoo's mind, there flashed the image of Lü Qing'er's fair, beautiful face and those perfect jade hands that one could never forget once seen. He was a perfectionist; he liked anything without flaw, and Lü Qing'er's slender, delicate hands were the most perfect work of art he had ever seen. If he could hold those small hands in his embrace, that would be the supreme achievement of his life.

So he smiled at Duze Duze Beixuan and said, "If you need anything, just say the word."

Duze Duze Beixuan's expression did not change. Without answering, he bowed once to Shen Shen Jinxiao, then turned and left directly.
