Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

After the rating conference concluded, Zhan Jiuyou did not linger for a moment. He immediately led a capable team to the Dark Mine. According to the rules set by the conference, the Gale Mercenary Group lost the competition, which meant that the mine they held would belong to Blazing Flame. This was something Blazing Flame had obtained with all their might.

Due to their extraordinary performance at the rating conference, the Blazing Flame Mercenary Group's reputation soared and quickly spread far and wide. Countless mercenaries with dreams and passion were attracted by the Blazing Flame's brilliance and flocked from all over the country, eager to become a member of the team.

Thus, in front of the Blazing Flame Building, a winding, dragon-like queue quietly formed, with each person harboring hopes for the future and waiting patiently.

Just then, a commotion came from outside the door. As if receiving an unseen command, the mercenaries spontaneously made way for a wide passage, their eyes filled with awe.

Zhan Jiuyou, Lu Lingxi, and the others couldn't help but look outside. They saw several people with smiles on their lips slowly walking towards them.

"President Feng, you've arrived?" Lu Lingxiyao stepped forward quickly, clasped her hands in a fist salute, and spoke with great respect.

Looking at Lu Lingxi's tender face, Feng Shengxie couldn't help but think to himself: No one could have imagined that such a boy, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, would lead the Blazing Flame Mercenary Group through all the hardships and advance to the level of six stars. Moreover, he personally killed Wu Haotian and two others who were stronger than him on the battlefield.

Now that the Gale Mercenary Group's top brass has been killed by Lu Lingxi Yao, it is like a candle in the wind, existing in name only. The remaining members are like lonely ghosts who have lost their protection, finding it difficult to survive in the territory of five-star mercenary groups. They are currently suffering from the cold looks and exclusion of other mercenary groups, and their situation is worrying.

Feng Shengxie's laughter was hearty and infectious. He led Bei Chen Haoyu and Di Mingchi into the Blazing Flame Building. Lu Lingxiyao's gaze swept over the two of them without lingering, and she simply followed silently beside Feng Shengxie.

Upon entering the hall, Feng Shengxie surveyed the surroundings and slowly spoke: "The Blazing Flames will be relocated to the Six-Star Region tomorrow. This is what you deserve."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Jiuyou and Feng Wuyai felt an indescribable joy welling up in their hearts. At the same time, they secretly wondered if President Feng's trip was merely to offer congratulations. This honor was undoubtedly a further affirmation of Lieyan's strength, and even more so because of Leng Aotian.

Feng Shengxie pointed to the imposing man beside him and said to Lu Lingxi Yao, "By the way, Aotian, I haven't had a chance to introduce you yet. This is the renowned War God of Lingyue Kingdom—Eternal Night King, Beichen Haoyu."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxi Yao remained unmoved, and said in a clear and calm voice, "May I ask, King Eternal Night, what brings you here today?"

Bei Chen Haoyu showed a slight surprise, thinking to himself that, normally, even the most composed person would be moved for a moment upon hearing of his illustrious identity, but she was able to remain so calm, which was truly rare.

A slight smile played on his lips as he spoke in a deep, magnetic voice, "Then I'll get straight to the point. Brother Leng, would you be willing to join my ranks and work with me on this great undertaking?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxi smiled slightly. "Could this be interpreted as you extending an invitation to me, trying to 'poach' me?"

Upon hearing this, Bei Chen Haoyu burst into hearty laughter, his voice full of admiration: "Haha, if Brother Leng interprets it that way, it's not unreasonable. A genius like you shines brightly and attracts attention wherever you are!"

Lu Lingxi's smile remained unchanged. As her gaze shifted, she glanced lightly at Feng Shengxie beside her, as if seeking his opinion, or perhaps subtly changing the subject: "President Feng, what are your thoughts on this?"

Bei Chen Haoyu's lips curled up slightly, secretly admiring the boy's wit, which allowed him to so cleverly throw the problem back to Feng Shengxie.

However, he had already vaguely sensed the boy's refusal from his words, and since he understood, he was unwilling to force him.

“Fine, I, Beichen Haoyu, never force anyone. So, how about we become friends?” His tone was full of sincerity and ease.

"Of course!" Lu Lingxi replied crisply and decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

"I will be setting off back to Yanjing soon. If Brother Leng has some free time, you might as well come and have a chat." Bei Chen Haoyu's words carried a hint of invitation.

Lu Lingxi smiled slightly, a warm and sincere smile: "If I have time, I will definitely visit you."

Afterwards, the group chatted for a while, and a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere filled the air. Finally, with joyful hearts, they each embarked on their journeys home.

In this mercenary rating competition, the Blazing Flame Mercenary Group emerged like the dawn, becoming the focus of everyone's attention and a true dark horse.

With the rating finalized, their momentum soared, and they moved into the six-star area. Their new base is now more than twice the size of what it used to be, and the mineral resources they control are among the best in the six-star mercenary groups.

Normally, newly promoted level six mercenary groups need to go through a lot of hard work to gain a foothold in a circle full of strong people, but Blazing Flame is an exception. Although they are newcomers, their strength is enough to make any opponent fear them. Their formidable power has quickly established an unshakable position in the six-star region.

Surprisingly, on the very first day that Blazing Flame moved into the Six-Star Zone, those top mercenary groups that had already established their positions did not show the slightest hostility or contempt. Instead, they rushed to curry favor, as if afraid of missing the opportunity to form an alliance with this emerging overlord.

Suddenly, the relationship between Blazing Flame and these veteran powerhouses became exceptionally close, as if they were truly "as close as if they were wearing the same pair of underwear."

In the past few days, Lu Lingxiyao seemed quite at ease. The ranking competition was over, and everything in Lieyan was back on track. Originally, she had come out to train, but she hadn't expected to stay in Jinyuan City for so long. It seemed it was time to leave...

Before leaving, Lu Lingxi Yao came to the Mercenary Guild headquarters building again. Her hand hovered lightly on the carved wooden door, about to knock, but Feng Shengxie's warm and deep voice came from inside first.

"come in!"

As Lu Lingxi Yao pushed open the door, a familiar and warm atmosphere rushed towards her, as if an indescribable tacit understanding permeated the air.

Feng Shengxie, the guild leader who held a significant position in the mercenary world, sat smiling behind his large desk, seemingly unsurprised by her arrival.

"Are you here to say goodbye?" Feng Shengxie's words were gentle and direct, like a loving father asking his child who was about to embark on a long journey.

Lu Lingxi nodded slightly, her eyes filled with determination and reluctance. "Yes, I came here for training, and now it's time to set off."

Feng Shengxie looked at him with admiration and expectation in his eyes. At such a young age, he was so calm and responsible, which made Feng Shengxie feel very gratified.

He believed that, given time, this young man, Leng Aotian, would surely surpass the older generation and become a rising star in the mercenary world.

Feng Shengxie slowly stood up and walked to Lu Lingxi Yao's side. His large hand, marked by the passage of time, gently landed on her shoulder, his eyes filled with love and expectations for the younger generation.

"The outside world is complex and ever-changing, so you must act carefully and remain vigilant at all times."

Lu Lingxi nodded seriously, her eyes shining with determination. "President Feng, please rest assured, I will act cautiously and live up to your expectations."

Feng Shengxie smiled slightly, then with a slight flick of his wrist, an ancient and mysterious ring quietly appeared in his palm, shimmering with a faint light.

He solemnly handed the ring to Lu Lingxi, saying, "This is a small token of my appreciation; I hope you will accept it."

Lu Lingxi Yao accepted the ring gratefully without refusing. She knew that this was not just a gift, but also Feng Shengxie's expectation and trust in her.

"President Feng, no matter where I am, I will always be a member of the Mercenary Guild, and that will never change!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Shengxie laughed heartily and gently rubbed her head, just like he would his own child.

"Good child, remember, this will always be your home, remember to come back and visit often."

At this moment, despite their vast age difference and disparity in strength, their hearts were tightly bound together by this deep affection, which invisibly brought them closer together.

When Lu Lingxi returned to the Blazing Flame Hall, the dim and warm lighting illuminated the solemn and dejected faces of everyone present, and all eyes were on her.

A sense of unease crept into her heart. She walked lightly to the center of the crowd, her gentle voice tinged with confusion: "What's wrong with you all? Why do you all look so dejected?"

Feng Tianyi, the boy who always wore a somewhat unruly smile, now had a heavy tone in his voice.

"Aotian, I heard you're leaving. Is it true?"

Lu Lingxi Yao, or rather, the one who roamed the martial world under the name Leng Aotian, sighed softly, her tone full of helplessness.

"Yes, I'm going to continue my training, and perhaps I won't be back for a very long time."

These words made the already oppressive atmosphere even heavier. The mercenaries couldn't help but tear up. No one understood their weariness, their difficulties, and their suffering, and they rarely had such a tender moment.

However, Leng Aotian was different. At his age, he should have been a precious child cherished and carefully protected by his elders, but instead, he stood in front of them, shielding them from the wind and rain and overcoming all difficulties.

“Aotian, your words really hurt me. I don’t know when we will meet again after this parting, I…” Feng Wuyai’s voice became hoarse with emotion, and his eyes were already red before he could finish speaking.

Zhan Jiuyou said with a firm and sincere gaze, "Aotian, in our hearts, you are the true leader of the Blazing Flame. No matter how long it takes, we will be here waiting for your return!"

Looking into those eyes filled with genuine emotion, Lu Lingxi was deeply touched, and her eyes involuntarily welled up with tears. She whispered, "It's so wonderful to be remembered by everyone like this!"

The next morning, Lu Lingxi did not choose to say goodbye directly. She was afraid of facing the sadness of parting, so she secretly left a letter on Zhan Jiuyou's desk. Then, with her deep blessings for the Lieyan brothers, she quietly left Jinyuan City.
