Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest.

Chapter 218 Returning to Jinling, an old friend visits

"Are you ready?" Yan Yu asked.

"Yeah, very handsome." Xie Ruoxi finally straightened his bangs, looked at his face for a moment, and suddenly said shyly, "Very handsome."

"Brother Pig, calm down, your saliva is about to flow down." Yan Yu pushed her to the side and asked, "Are you ready? Let's go!"

Everyone left the lounge and came to the reception outside, walked onto the stage and took their seats in turn.

Before the host announced the start of the question-and-answer session, everyone in the audience raised their hands in unison.

"Daily Headlines," the host called out.

"Hello." The reporter from Headline Daily stood up. "May I ask why you chose to play four against five, letting Captain Yan single-handedly challenge the Secret Realm goalkeeper? What considerations went into this decision?"

"I'm in a hurry, thank you." Yan Yu said calmly, "Next."

Reporters: ………………

It sounds very perfunctory, but if you think about it carefully, it can actually be explained: the secret realm switches between day and night every ten minutes or so, and there are ghost soldiers patrolling all night long and with the support of ghost power, it is impossible to surround and kill the goalkeeper.

In other words, if the entire Zhenhai team went to fight the Feilong team, there would likely not be enough daylight left after the battle, and they would have to wait for another day and night cycle. That's why Yan Yu chose to split up his forces to save time...

Could your explanation be any more false?
Just to save these short ten minutes (not ten hours), is it necessary to deal with the secret realm goalkeeper alone?

The reporters all had a vague feeling that the reason Yan Yu chose to leave the team and go it alone was actually to show off in front of the people of the whole country... but they had no evidence.

"Baguan News, please." The host signaled to continue asking questions.

"Captain Yan, what do you think of our opponent in this competition, the Feilong Team?" asked the reporter who took the microphone.

A similar, mirror-image question had been asked previously during the Flying Dragon Team's Q&A session. Cai Qianlong's answer, "Yan Yu is quite possibly the strongest cultivator in all of Lu Country," was unabashed and straightforward, making it highly newsworthy. In contrast, Shen Rui's bland, unremarkable, bureaucratic response irked the reporters, who were reluctant to even ask.

Of course, Yan Zhanlong's personality seems to be relatively free and unrestrained, and it is unlikely that he will be as smooth as Shen Rui. Therefore, reporters are looking forward to how he will comment on his opponent - preferably to criticize, followed by praise, and then compromise, as long as he doesn't say those hypocritical and boring words.

Yan Yu was silent for a while, then asked:
"what?"

There was silence.

"Captain Yan, what do you think of the Feilong Team?" The reporter from Baguan News thought he didn't hear clearly, so he repeated the question again.

"Sorry." Yan Yu replied seriously, "We've never fought before, so I'm not familiar with him. Next one."

The reporter was suddenly struck by lightning and was speechless for a long time. Everyone around him also held their foreheads in their hands.

This guy is holding it up!
Did Yan Yu really not understand the Feilong team? Absolutely impossible, otherwise he wouldn't have let Chen Lingyun lead the team in a four-on-five battle.

The fact that he could make such a risky tactical decision meant that he definitely had a clear understanding of the strength of the Feilong Team! How could he be "unable to evaluate"?
Of course, it was impossible for everyone to present facts and reason here, saying, "Team Yan, don't lie to us. You must know about Team Feilong. Please give your evaluation." Therefore, everyone felt wary at the same time:
Yan Zhanlong really disdains to speak in clichés like Shen Rui, but this does not mean that he is a good interview subject and must be treated with full attention!

"Pangbo News." The host continued to call out names.

"Hello, Captain Yan." This time, the reporter was much more respectful. Having experienced the failures of the previous two reporters, he decided to be more cautious this time, lest they give him a perfunctory response and waste his opportunity. "First of all, congratulations to the Zhenhai team on winning this match. Secondly, because the camera was broken, no one saw how you defeated the Secret Realm goalkeeper. Could you give us a brief description?"

"Oh, sure." Yan Yu said confidently, "I chased the goalkeeper down to the underground palace, and he suddenly used some evil magic to transform into a giant bone-like Godzilla. Then I dodged his attacks in various ways, and finally seized a crucial opportunity to kill him with my ultimate move."

Reporters: ………………

The secret realm gatekeeper turned into Godzilla, and then you killed him with your ultimate move, right? Why didn't you say you transformed into Ultraman Tiga?

If it were Qi Changping who had experienced the period of the start of school, he would definitely explain to the reporters here that Yan Yu is indeed very easy to talk to on the surface, and even answers every question, but this does not mean that he will give you the answer you want.

"Does anyone else want to ask questions?" the host confirmed.

For a moment, no one raised their hand. It wasn't because they had no questions, but because everyone was racking their brains to think of how to formulate their questions so that Yan Yu would answer them seriously.

Fortunately, there are some talented journalists, and someone soon came up with a solution:
"I'd like to ask Vice Captain Chen, there was a lot of negative talk about the Zhenhai team before the match. Was the Zhenhai team's decision to take a risky four-on-five strategy in this match intended to counteract this criticism?"

Captain Yan Yu is not easy to deal with, so why don't we ask deputy captain Chen Lingyun?

"Not really." Chen Lingyun took the microphone from Yan Yu and said with a smile, "It's to let Yan Yu face the goalkeeper alone to save time."

Reporters: ………………

Some people still refused to believe it and continued to raise their hands and ask:
"Then may I ask if Team Zhenhai will also adopt such radical tactics in their next secret realm competition?"

"The specific tactical strategy depends on the specific objective conditions," Chen Lingyun said with a smile. "If the rules of the next secret realm competition are to only allow female fights, we will definitely exclude Captain Yan Yu as well."

Reporters: ………………Okay, all defeated.

"Then this concludes the reception," the host announced quickly.

After leaving the press conference that received rave reviews, Yan Yu and others packed their luggage and boarded a plane back to Jinling.

Nowadays, there are a large number of media stationed in Gaodu County. The good days of "playing in the secret realm and staying in the local area for a day" are probably gone forever.

"Do we need to review this time?" In the cabin, Lin Ning played with his mobile phone for a while and suddenly asked.

It’s like a test-taker who has to check the questions after taking the exam. If he doesn’t, he will feel uncomfortable.

"There's no need for that," Chen Lingyun said leisurely. "This is their first competitive match. Regardless of whether they were well prepared, they didn't perform well this time. There's not much point in reviewing it."

"Indeed." Zhao Yuanzhen complained, "And Cai Qianlong, as the captain, is only so strong in combat. I am very disappointed."

The girls were speechless. Cai Qianlong's ability to become the team captain was undoubtedly due to his exceptional skills, regardless of his intelligence or awareness.

But the problem is that Yan Yu, the captain of the Zhenhai team, is already at the level of an inhuman monster, which has caused the girls' evaluation standards to be raised. How can you compare Cai Qianlong with Yan Yu? Even if you compare Liu Longtao with Yan Yu, the conclusion will be exactly the same, but it's meaningless!
"By the way, Cai Qianlong said at the press conference that you, Yan Yu, are the strongest cultivator in the entire Lu Kingdom." Su Yunjin asked curiously, "Is that true?"

"Although I don't want to admit it, it seems that no one in the country can beat him right now." Lin Ning glanced at Yan Yu.

"Nonsense." Yan Yu sneered, "I already told you I'm the strongest in this world, okay?"

"It's free to brag," Lin Ning said with a smile, "There are so many powerful extraordinary people in foreign countries. Wait until you defeat them all, and then you can call yourself 'the strongest in the world'!"

"Childish." Yan Yu expressed disdain. "Does the world's richest man have to compare his bank account balance with everyone else?"

"It's fine if you're using the richest man in Lu as an example, but how did you suddenly become the richest man in the world?" Lin Ning complained directly, "Even if we take it all in, haven't we only fought a foreign extraordinary person once? Where does your confidence come from?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Yu's cell phone rang.

"Wait a moment, I'm going to take a call." Yan Yu picked up the phone, glanced at it, and answered it.

Chen Lingyun, who was sitting next to him, could see clearly that the caller ID was unknown, and she only knew that it was a number from Haidong Province.

"Hello." Anna's voice came from the phone. "I'm at Lukou Airport now. Where is your home?"

"Why are you in Jinling?" Yan Yu asked in surprise.

"On a business trip," Anna replied.

You are an illegal witch who doesn't even have a regular job in the government. What the hell are you doing on a business trip? Yan Yu said angrily:

"I'm on my way back to Jinling Prefecture. I'll call you when I get there."

He hung up the phone, and only heard Lin Ningxin ask bluntly:

"Yanyu, whose phone is this?"

Although the other girls didn't ask, they secretly pricked up their ears and shifted their attention.

"Just an international friend." Yan Yu replied casually, "He said he's already in Jinling and wants to see me."

"International friends?" Lin Ning asked curiously, "Male or female?"

"Female." Yan Yu paused for a moment and continued, "I don't know if this counts as illegal entry. I might need to report it to the higher-ups. Chen Lingyun?"

"Is that the one?" Chen Lingyun understood immediately.

"Yes." Yan Yu nodded.

Seeing that Chen Lingyun also knew the other party's identity, the girls became more and more confused and suddenly felt a sense of crisis in their hearts.

"Why do you all know him, but I don't?" Zhao Yuanzhen was the first to speak out.

"You know him too." Chen Lingyun said with a smile.

"Who is it?" Zhao Yuanzhen asked confusedly.

"No matter who it is," Su Yunjin said calmly, "Since they've come to Jinling, we must treat them well."

"Indeed." Lin Ning knew that Yun Jin was planning to find out the other party's identity, so she quickly agreed.
