I don't want to come up with a funny book title anymore.

Xu Dingguo was thinking.

What Chu Jiaoyang said was something they had also discussed during their meeting.

But in the end, they finalized this version of the plan because they gave Xie Fengnan the choice.

They wanted to see if Xie Fengnan could demonstrate extraordinary strength on his own during this event.

They will find another way and use other methods to deal with the current problem.

But Chu Jiaoyang's words did make some sense.

As an important companion who has followed Xie Fengnan all the way and will continue to walk with him in the future.

It would be even better if the new team members could gain their approval.

"Feng Nan, what do you think?" Xu Dingguo wanted to hear his opinion.

Xie Fengnan looked Chu Jiaoyang up and down with a scrutinizing gaze, and Chu Jiaoyang returned a knowing look.

Xie Fengnan: ...It seems they all think that taking on ten thousand enemies is a piece of cake for them...?

But have they forgotten that if they really follow them, Xie Xinghe will most likely be on the other side?

"So the dean agrees to let me take them with me?" Xie Fengnan tilted his head and asked Xu Dingguo.

“If you want to.” Xu Dingguo took another sip of tea.

"Then I need teammates." Xie Fengnan thought: If we really lose in the end, it would be some consolation if I didn't die alone.

Seeing Xie Fengnan readily accept Chu Jiaoyang and the other person, Ye Jingtang hesitated.

He didn't want to join the team, but he also didn't want to die in the gang.

Don't even mention cheating if you lose. If you can't even handle this, you might as well not go to this top military academy.

Ye Jingtang didn't consider Xie Xinghe or similar situations. He was in a similar situation to Chu Jiaoyang and the others, not recognizing celebrities even when they stood in front of him.

Xie Fengnan's strength is undeniable, and following him seems to offer a good chance of success.

After all, although the other side has more people, they are clearly not strong enough to cause a qualitative change.

Xie Fengnan noticed his hesitation. "Do you want to come and play with us?"

Ye Jingtang was startled, "I..."

Xie Fengnan blinked. "Don't worry, I'm not going to let you join the team right away. Everyone just doesn't want to be punished, I understand."

Hearing Xie Fengnan say that, Ye Jingtang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then please take me with you too."

Xu Dingguo was pleased with the outcome and tacitly agreed.

This tacit approval made Xie Fengnan stroke his chin and start to think.

He had an idea, glanced at Xu Dingguo, and decided to remain silent for now.

"Do you need to bring anyone else?" Xu Dingguo asked again.

"My brother—"

"Your brother is no good."

Xie Fengnan: ...He hadn't even finished speaking yet.

Although I guessed that Xu Dingguo probably wouldn't agree, what if he did?

Xie Xinghe could never become a member of the team; he had his own path to follow. Xie Fengnan also had no intention of recruiting him; wasn't he just trying to relieve some pressure for himself?

Although Xu Dingguo had also considered this point, they were more interested in seeing who was better between Xie Xinghe and Xie Fengnan.

If everyone just gathers together, what's the point of watching? So the possibility of forming a team was immediately ruled out.

As for the part where the loser has to accept punishment, it's more accurate to say they're happy to see it happen.

No matter whose dark history is leaked, it will be a great topic of conversation for both of them.

"That's settled then. Is there anything else you need to tell me? We haven't even had our meal yet."

Xie Fengnan felt like his stomach was about to start rumbling.

“That’s all.” Xu Dingguo looked at him. “I can give you the small kitchen, but you’re not allowed to cook for yourself. You need to have the Xie family send someone over.”

Xie Fengnan looked at Xu Dingguo in surprise. The Imperial First Military Academy did not allow unauthorized personnel to enter and exit at will.

He originally thought that the small kitchen was assigned to prevent him from causing any trouble in the dormitory, and that it was Xu Dingguo's way of backing down—a compromise that allowed him to be self-sufficient.

I never imagined it was to make it convenient for someone to set up a small canteen for me; he really spoils me.

"Can't you get people from the Xie family?" Xu Dingguo asked Xie Fengnan with a disgruntled look in his eyes.

"If I can't find anyone, will the dean arrange one for me?" Xie Fengnan's eyes lit up.

"You're dreaming, kid." Xu Dingguo was speechless. He might be able to arrange for people, but he would never arrange for ingredients.

However, if we could use public funds and not have to pay out of our own pockets—

Xu Dingguo considered the feasibility for a moment, then it would depend on Xie Fengnan's performance.

The original intention of having the Xie family send people over was to let them resolve these issues themselves.

I'm already being very generous by providing the venue; I can't let Xie Fengnan take advantage of this.

"Alright then." Xie Fengnan's expression still held a hint of regret. "We'll be going now."

Xu Dingguo waved his hand, signaling them to leave quickly.

As soon as Chu Jiaoyang stepped out of the office, he immediately started whispering to Xie Fengnan.

"It has to be the boss, that solves the food problem. So what are we eating today?"

Xu Dingguo's meaning was clear: the small kitchen wouldn't be able to make it today.

"Do it yourself, find a place without alarms."

Today is the first day of school, and everyone hasn't scheduled their classes yet, which is why Xie Fengnan and his friends are so bored that they can come up with these kinds of things.

"The campus is so big, surely we can find a place to have a meal," Xie Fengnan thought uncertainly.

If all else fails, remove the alarm and go to the balcony to heat oil in a pan.

By the way, will it make a sound when it's being dismantled?

Xie Fengnan tapped the system while thinking.

(Xia, do you have any recommended spots?)

"Host, please wait a moment."

Next to the notice board, there is only a campus floor plan; Xia's real-scene scanning will take some time.

So they were moving very slowly.

Some alumni saw the group of four and started discussing it.

"Hey, why are the big shots with Ye Jingtang?"

"Big Boss? Ye Jingtang? Who's that? What happened to them?"

"You're not a native of Imperial Star, are you?"

"You know that? Does not recognizing them mean you're not a local?"

“If you don’t know the big shot, that’s understandable, since he only recently returned. But almost everyone in the local area of ​​the Imperial Star knows Ye Jingtang.”

"Elaborate."

Have you ever heard of the Medusa clan?

As Xie Fengnan and his group walked further away, the chatter gradually faded away.

However, these few words still reached their ears.

Chu Jiaoyang couldn't keep a secret, and kept glancing at Ye Jingtang.

He said the name Ye Jingtang sounded familiar; wasn't that the name he'd seen when he was cramming for lessons?

I was so focused on memorizing the information that I didn't pay attention to what the photo looked like.

Unexpectedly, Ye Jingtang actually became their roommate.

Recalling what was written in the document, Chu Jiaoyang muttered to himself.

The man's features are indeed feminine, but I haven't sensed that he was born with a curse that would bring misfortune to those around him.

And he remembered everything, so surely the boss wouldn't be unaware of his identity?

Chu Jiaoyang then glanced at Xie Fengnan.

If even the eldest brother hangs out with him, then there's nothing wrong with me and Lao Mo doing the same.

Xie Fengnan heard the discussions, but he didn't react.

His judgment is based solely on what he sees.
