: The Formation of a 7-Person Squad

Chapter 18 The Seven-Man Squad is Formed

Lu Si'en was stunned. He hadn't expected this to be the case. For a moment, he was somewhat incoherent. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring it up."

Lu Si'en has always been cold-hearted and has never comforted anyone, so he seemed a little helpless at this moment.

Seeing his expression, Ye Jingqiu couldn't help but laugh out loud. "It's alright, you didn't know before."

Despite this, Lu Si'en became even more silent along the way, and the more Ye Jingqiu acted this way, the more uncomfortable he felt.

"But sometimes I wonder if everything would be different if my father and mother were still alive."

Lu Si'en was taken aback by his words, his face darkening and a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes. After a long while, he tentatively asked, "Then how much do you know about your father's family? For example, your grandfather."

Ye Jingqiu was taken aback, then shook his head and said with an embarrassed smile, "I'm not too sure about that. My mother passed away from illness when I was three years old. She didn't tell me much about my father, and she never mentioned my grandparents either."

Lu Si'en's eyes flickered slightly as he slowly nodded, but his gaze fell on Ye Jingqiu's face, and he froze.

The moon rises bright, and the beautiful woman is there.

After a long while, he turned his head away, his ear tips turning slightly red as if he were thinking of something.

Her surname is Ye, and her martial soul is the Soul-Capturing Bell. Although Lu Si'en doesn't know which of those men Ye Jingqiu's fathers is, he has already guessed about 70% of her identity.

By that logic, she might be the only junior member of this generation.

He will tell his elders about this after the holiday.

As night fell, the soft moonlight enveloped the entire Spirit Hall Academy.

The two finally returned to the college half an hour before the dormitory curfew.

At the crossroads, Ye Jingqiu stopped, the moonlight pouring down on her, casting a milky white glow on her. She smiled at Lu Si'en and said, "See you tomorrow, Lu Si'en."

Unexpectedly, Lu Si'en would act unpredictably, saying, "I'll take you back."

Ye Jingqiu stared at Lu Si'en in disbelief. This man was always indifferent to things that didn't concern him. Why would he take her home?

She looked up at the sky; it was cloudless and dotted with stars. No matter how hard she tried to recall, the sun didn't seem to rise in the west today.

Suddenly, Ye Jingqiu remembered something and reassured her, "Don't worry, Lu Si'en. You didn't know about my father's matter beforehand, so I won't take it to heart. It's getting late, you should go back now."

Lu Si'en frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand why Ye Jingqiu would ask such a question. Although he was young, he had a serious face and seemed quite mature for his age. "Elder Ju asked me to take good care of you."

The two stood there at the crossroads for a long time, neither of them moving. After a while, Ye Jingqiu finally gave in and said, "Okay, thank you, Lu Si'en."

Inside Wuhun City.

While drinking with the ghost, Yue Guan sneezed several times in a row. He rubbed his nose, frowned, and said, "Is someone talking behind my back?"

With a smile in his ghostly eyes, he looked at Yue Guan and said, "Who would dare to mess with you? You probably have a cold. I'll take you to the doctor later."

Upon hearing this, Yue Guan rolled her eyes at Gui Mei. "You really underestimate me. How could a powerful Title Douluo like me fall ill so easily?"

He chuckled softly, his words carrying an almost imperceptible hint of doting affection, "Okay, okay, okay, you're not sick, I'm the one who's sick."

……

As soon as Ye Jingqiu returned to his dormitory, he was surrounded by Hu Liena. She looked at him excitedly and asked in confusion, "How do you have so much money? When we were eating at the college hotel, my brother thought we were going to have to stay and wash dishes."

"And another thing, I heard they say you can't even open a single privilege card in three years. How did you get one?"

"When did you become so close to Lu Si'en? I just saw him bring you back."

Hu Liena's series of questions left Ye Jingqiu speechless for a moment. After a helpless smile, she finally spoke, "The money was given to me by my family, and the special selection card was also obtained for me by my family through the academy. We only started to get to know each other after Lu Si'en came to my house these past few days."

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena's eyes lit up instantly. She looked Ye Jingqiu up and down, clicked her tongue, and said, "You're a true hidden talent. I really didn't realize you were from a noble family at first."

She snorted coldly, "I don't know what Song Baiyu is so smug about. Our Qiuqiu is much better."

After thinking for a while, Ye Jingqiu still didn't tell Hu Liena his true identity. She smiled and didn't say anything.

Hu Liena continued, "By the way, my brother and his team have found the defensive-type Soul Master and the agility-type Soul Master. However, my brother said that since we are all in the same team, even though he is the captain, he can't make decisions alone. He said that we should meet as a group of seven after class tomorrow at noon to confirm."

"You've already found an agility-type Soul Master?" Ye Jingqiu looked at Hu Liena in surprise, not expecting them to act so quickly.

However, if that's the case, then Bibi Dong's recommendation will have to be abandoned.

Hu Liena nodded slightly. "You'll see when you meet them tomorrow. They're both very nice."

The latest novel is first published here!

Ye Jingqiu nodded immediately.

……

Privilege card, privilege card, the so-called privilege means having special rights and special treatment.

Ye Jingqiu used his special selection card to get a small meeting room, which had a table that could accommodate ten people, a small sofa, and a restroom.

This made it easier for their team to move around, and the group came here after class.

Ye Jingqiu stared intently at the girl sitting opposite her. She had dark green curly hair, clear and bright eyes, and a smile on her face.

This is Shen Qingqing, who just joined their class today.

Thinking back to Bibi Dong's words, Ye Jingqiu had an idea: Could this Shen Qingqing be the ghostly disciple that Bibi Dong mentioned?

Just then, Shen Qingqing stood up, smiled at everyone, and said cheerfully, "My name is Shen Qingqing, an agility-type battle spirit master, level twelve, martial spirit Shadow."

The boy sitting next to her stood up. He had wheat-colored skin, a strong build, and a pair of amber dog-like eyes under his brown buzz cut. He scratched his head and said, "My name is Song Liyang. I'm in Class Two, just like Lu Si'en. I'm a defensive-type battle spirit master, level twelve, with the martial spirit Rock Shield."

As soon as the two finished speaking, Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena turned their heads and looked at Ye Jingqiu and Lu Si'en.

Ye Jingqiu knew in his heart that the two had been examined by the three people and their strength and other aspects were absolutely correct.

She smiled and said, "I think it's fine." Then she turned to look at Lu Si'en.

Lu Si'en's expression remained unchanged, but he seemed uninterested in the matter. He slowly nodded without any objection.

The seven-person team was thus formed.
