Chapter 890: Not Teaming Up

After Jiang Wanlin spoke, Su Xiaolu pondered for a moment and said, “I didn’t think things through. How about this? You can form teams freely, or you can not form a team. You can also find a close friend to help you as a teammate. No matter what you choose, in the end, I’ll use the lotus seeds you have as the result and take the person who gained the most as my disciple. You’ve learned a lot in the past few days. The tests that you should have are all in this mission. At that time, no matter what the outcome is, no matter what questions you have, I’ll answer them one by one. Even if we’re not fated to be master and disciple, I won’t let you have a knot in your hearts.”
“We’ll listen to Teacher’s arrangements.”
After Su Xiaolu finished speaking, Jiang Wanlin, w.a.n.g Mingyue, and Fang Lan nodded and agreed respectfully.
!!
Mu Feng paused for a moment before agreeing. He was in a daze. In the past few months, no matter what he did, he could not improve his relationship with Jiang Wanlin.
In the past few months, their relationship had become colder and colder. Jiang
Wanlin was determined to break off the engagement. After the a.s.sessment, she would have a chance to go home. At that time, she would definitely say that she wanted to break off the engagement. Mu Feng frowned.
Mu Feng was troubled. Although he didn’t like Jiang Wanlin, he felt indignant at the thought of manipulating her for so many years in vain. However, he really couldn’t salvage the situation.
Jiang Wanlin wasn’t even willing to team up with him now.
“Alright, you guys go and prepare too. Come down the mountain with me tomorrow. ”
Su Xiaolu looked at them and left.
After Su Xiaolu left, w.a.n.g Mingyue went to Jiang Wanlin’s side and held her hand. “Junior Sister, let’s form a team of two.”
Jiang Wanlin looked at Fang Lan. “You and Senior Brother…”
“I’m completely fine alone. You guys have to work hard. I won’t give in to you.”
Fang Lan raised her chin and said.
w.a.n.g Mingyue snorted in disdain. “Let’s wait and see.”
Jiang Wanlin smiled. She was actually prepared to be alone, but w.a.n.g
Mingyue’s actions touched her. After knowing her for a few months, w.a.n.g
Mingyue was enthusiastic and lively. She felt what it meant to be true friends.
Jiang Wanlin couldn’t help but think that even if she couldn’t become his disciple in the end, she had no regrets.
Mu Feng frowned and said to Jiang Wanlin, “Wanwan, I have something to tell you.”
Jiang Wanlin stopped smiling and looked at Mu Feng coldly. “l have nothing to say to you.”
Mu Feng’s expression darkened. “Wanwan, you treat them as friends and treat them with all your heart, but do you know what they’re thinking? Don’t be stupid. Teacher Su will only take in two disciples at most. What makes you think they’ll give in to you? w.a.n.g Mingyue is on your team. She can easily plot against you. Fang Lan clearly has the upper hand. At that time, even if Teacher Su takes in disciples, you won’t have a chance.”
If they joined forces, the two of them would definitely be able to compare to Fang Lan and w.a.n.g Mingyue. This way, the two of them would have an advantage.
“Wanwan, our grudges are private matters. We can talk about it in the future. I have nothing to say even if you want to break off the engagement. After all, we’ve known each other for ten years and know each other’s background. Can’t you stop being stubborn and let go of your prejudices?”
Mu Feng said earnestly. He looked at Jiang Wanlin worriedly.
Jiang Wanlin looked at Mu Feng and said calmly, “That’s my wish. What does it have to do with you?”
How could she not know what Mu Feng was thinking? He just wanted her to be his helper. First, he would eliminate Fang Lan and w.a.n.g Mingyue. In the end, he would stand at the highest point and distribute them. Of course, he had the final say in his rules.
Ridiculous. Why should she listen to him?
“Put away your scheme. I, w.a.n.g Mingyue, will say this. Even if I don’t acknowledge Teacher Su as my master, I can stay in the academy with my ability. For Fang Lan and me, what Fang Lan learns is what I learn. What I learn is what Fang Lan learns. Therefore, I will do my best to help Junior Sister. I will give her all the lotus seeds I picked in the end. If you want to team up with Junior Sister, can you give her all the final results?”
w.a.n.g Mingyue looked at Mu Feng coldly and mocked him.
Mu Feng was secretly mocking her and Fang Lan for using despicable methods. Then she would face him directly. She was not afraid.
She and Fang Lan had learned well to begin with. Even if they were not accepted as disciples, they could stay and learn more from the teachers. She could let go of such an opportunity just like that.
Fang Lan looked at w.a.n.g Mingyue dotingly and smiled without saying anything. He just reached out and stroked her hair.
Mu Feng was instantly speechless. In the end, he gritted his teeth and spat out a few words. “w.a.n.g Mingyue, you win!”
With that, Mu Feng waved his hand and left.
After Mu Feng left, w.a.n.g Mingyue said to Jiang Wanlin, “Junior Sister, don’t worry. I mean what I say. I’ll definitely help you.”
“Ahem, I won’t give in.”
Fang Lan coughed lightly.
w.a.n.g Mingyue rolled her eyes. “Who asked you to give in?”
Jiang Wanlin chuckled. “Thank you, Senior Brother and Senior Sister. Let’s work hard together. No matter who stays behind in the end, it’s a good thing. I will be happy for you. Just as Senior Sister has said, even if I’m not Teacher Su’s disciple, I can still work hard to pa.s.s the a.s.sessment and continue to stay.”
“Yes, hahaha.”
w.a.n.g Mingyue laughed heartily and the three of them walked out to eat.
Mu Feng and Chen Lian got closer and closer.
During dinner, Mu Feng told Chen Lian about the training.
Chen Lian’s eyes lit up and she asked softly, “Brother Mu Feng, can you bring me there? I might only have this one chance in my life. I really want to see what the training is like. I’ll try my best to help you, okay?”
Mu Feng pondered for a moment. He saw that Chen Lian’s eyes were filled with tears, but he still couldn’t bear to refuse. He nodded. “Alright, Teacher Su also said that I can find a teammate myself. Actually, it doesn’t matter if I don’t have a teammate. Just treat it as going out to play. Such an opportunity is indeed rare now.”
Even if they went to train, it depended on their apt.i.tude.
Chen Lian’s apt.i.tude was poor. If she couldn’t even pa.s.s the a.s.sessment, it was even more impossible for her to train. If he didn’t bring her along, she would never have this chance in her life.
As soon as Mu Feng agreed, Chen Lian’s eyes lit up. Her cheeks were red from excitement, and her voice was extremely sweet. “Thank you, Brother Mu Feng.”
Mu Feng smiled, and Chen Lian stuck out her tongue playfully.
The next morning, when Su Xiaolu arrived, they were all packed.
Chen Lian stood timidly beside Mu Feng, as if she was afraid of Su Xiaolu. She kept hiding behind him.
Su Xiaolu frowned. Before she could speak, Chen Lian knelt down with a plop and said weakly, “Teacher Su, don’t be angry. Don’t be angry. I was the one who begged Brother Mu Feng to choose me as his teammate…”
Su Xiaolu interrupted Chen Lian and said coldly and sternly, “I didn’t say that he can’t choose you. Why are you cowering like a rat? If you didn’t do anything wrong, you won’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. I’m just frowning.. Why are you jumping out to say this again? You’ve been studying in the academy for a year, and this is all you’ve learned? Will you always be hiding your head like this?”
