Chapter 43: Mean

But the chaotic battlefield did not leave them much time to react.

As the numbers on the scoreboard changed wildly, the stands were deserted compared to the bustling training ground.

Lu Yanjing's gaze subconsciously followed the agile figure, with a faint smile in his eyes.

"Master, apart from the S-level students, the group that performed well this time is still Miss Hisoka's group. However, this year's new students are also good, especially the E-level student named Lin Zhiheng."

Luo Wen's tone was excited, as if he had discovered some new world. He used to be with the Duke and watched Lu Yanjing grow up.

I also have a certain understanding of Lu Yanjing. This young master never sticks to rank when hiring people.

He tapped lightly on the defense wall in front of Lu Yanjing, and the scene switched to the location of the E-level students.

The handsome young man had a calm expression, and his dodging speed and attack power were indeed not weak.

But the moment he saw this person, Lu Yanjing frowned slightly.

It was the person who held Nan Zhiyan. Because it was about her, Lu Yanjing remembered it clearly even if he only took a glance.

"Yeah?"

Lu Yanjing just asked back calmly, but he didn’t know if it was Luo Wen’s illusion, but he felt that the atmosphere around him became depressing.

"Slow, shallow thinking, and missed opportunities to attack again and again."

Lu Yanjing withdrew his gaze from the control panel in front of him, lowered his eyes slightly and glanced at the person next to him.

All of Lin Zhiheng's problems were pointed out without mercy.

"Colonel Rowan, is this your standard for selecting soldiers?"

Luo Wen was so shocked by Lu Yanjing's words that he broke out in a cold sweat and fell silent instantly, not daring to refute.

I just secretly cursed my bad luck. What happened to the young master today? Why did he suddenly become so "harsh" in his words?

He's just a freshman in public school. Although he doesn't meet the military's standards for selecting soldiers, he's still a far cry from the several S-level young masters.

But being able to defeat the first generation of mecha alone is already considered potential among the freshmen.

As for the other noble sons, let alone being defeated individually, it would be good enough if they were not beaten to a pulp by the first-generation mechas in group combat.

I can only sigh that young masters’ standards are getting higher and higher now, and they don’t even look at newcomers like this.

Una was also a little surprised and glanced at the young man on the panel, even though she didn't know much about physical training.

It can also be seen that this young man is much stronger than the people around him.

But if Lu Yanjing said that this person was not good enough, Una would naturally have no objection.

"Although I don't quite understand it, Mr. Luo Wen is indeed much worse than A Lin and the others."

Una's tone was gentle, and even if she said something like that, with that face, no one would find anything uncomfortable.

Not everyone can compare with these young masters, right?

Luo Wen complained in his heart, but still smiled politely at Una.

"Ms. Una, you are right."

He didn't say anything after that and just stood aside quietly. He looked down on this person. If he recommended someone else, the young master would look down on him even more.

But when he caught a glimpse of Nan Zhiyan, Luo Wen's face looked much more relieved.

As expected, he is the child who grew up under his care. He is the best at learning from others' strengths and making up for his own weaknesses. He is calm and adaptable when faced with difficulties. He is really good.

But I don’t know what he was thinking about, a hint of regret flashed across Luo Wen’s eyes, and he quickly looked away.

"Yan Jing, I was unable to accompany you to the banquet at Lord Lingzheng's house last time. I'm really sorry."

Una turned sideways to look at Lu Yanjing, and saw that his eyes fell on the training ground below. He called out to someone with an apologetic tone.

After all, in the past, she and Lu Yanjing had always attended such banquets, and she was afraid that Lu Yanjing would think too much if she was absent without reason.

Of course, there was one more thing she wanted to figure out.

"Don't apologize to me."

Lu Yanjing still looked down with a cold voice.

He didn't care who accompanied him to such a party because it didn't matter.

"There is one more thing, Yan Jing. Do you know anything about those photos of Ah Xing?"

Seeing Lu Yanjing looking at her sideways, Una's dark eyes sank slightly, and she hesitated, but continued to speak.

"Yan Jing, don't think too much about it. I was called into the palace that day and the queen asked about this matter, so I thought of asking you."

"What photo?"

When he heard that it was about Nan Zhixing, Lu Yanjing's expression was confused for a moment, and he looked at Una and asked out loud.

Una was a little surprised that Lu Yanjing didn't know about this.

But he soon realized that Lu Yanjing never read the content on the so-called public school’s internal star network, so naturally he didn’t know about this matter.

She discovered a few days ago that all the information about these photos on the internal star network had been deleted. It seemed that Nan Zhiyan had already taken action to resolve the issue and did not tell Lu Yanjing.

"It seems that Ah Yan has solved it. It's not a big deal. It's just that the photo of Ah Xing carrying the E-level student who contradicted you to the infirmary was uploaded to the Star Network, causing some misunderstandings among others."

As she spoke, Una handed the terminal screen in her hand to Lu Yanjing.

Although Nan Zhiyan has blocked all posts, she has all the screenshots the queen gave her.

It goes without saying that it was given to the Queen by that woman Ji Xun when she complained.

Lu Yanjing took a quick glance and then looked away nonchalantly.

He didn't care about Nan Zhixing's private affairs, but Ah Yan, have you resolved this matter?

Thinking of the few comments she had just glanced at, although it was nonsense to speculate about his relationship with the E-grade student, would she care about such a thing?

Glancing sideways at a figure in the audience, Lu Yanjing's lips curled up slightly.

"Although their speculation is ridiculous, Yan Jing, do you need someone to clarify it for you? After all, such rumors are not very pleasant to hear. If Duke Ulraf knew about it, he..."

"No."

There is no need for that. Ayan has already solved the problem, so there is no need to do anything extra.

Even if Nan Zhiyan doesn't solve the problem, this unfounded rumor will not have any impact at all.

Una was interrupted by Lu Yanjing. She turned off the terminal and looked up, only to see the faint smile on Lu Yanjing's lips.

Lu Yanjing never had any emotions, so when his expression fluctuated in the slightest, it was particularly noticeable.

The stern brows seemed to soften at this moment, giving Una an illusion.

An illusion that Lu Yanjing was someone who was easy to get close to.

After a moment of silence, Una finally realized that Lu Yanjing's mood seemed to have changed slightly after reading the post.

A sense of crisis suddenly arose in my heart. Could it be that, as those people speculated, it was because of that E-level student?

Una overturned this conclusion with some disbelief. How could it be possible? Why would Lu Yanjing care about a mere E-level student?
