Before Lan Ziye could even open his mouth, Zhu Fei stepped forward and said bluntly, "Others think you're a burden, but we don't mind you, do we? Besides, we're not even familiar with each other. Don't you get along well with Lin Gang and the others? Why don't you team up with them?"

This isn't a recycling station. Having a useless Zhu Ning is already a burden, so why would they want another one? They're not doing charity.

Li Mu was stunned, a vicious look flashed across his eyes.

However, he came prepared and would not give up this great opportunity to get close to Lan Ziye just because of a small rejection from Zhu Fei.

Li Mu lowered his head and eyes, looking harmless. He silently fished out a grape-sized stone from his pocket and handed it to Lan Ziye, saying, "My brother bought this for me at an auction. It may not look impressive, but it's the most precious treasure I own. Lan Ziye, please, for the sake of our friendship, could you... could you help me out? This credit is really important to me!"

Top-grade Essence Stone? Lan Ziye's eyes lit up instantly. He had never expected that this creature, who was either a demon or something else, would actually have Essence Stone, and a top-grade Essence Stone at that. (⊙x⊙;)

For Lan Ziye, everything is easy as long as he has the essence stone.

Lan Ziye took the top-grade essence stone without hesitation, put it away and said, "Okay, you can stay with us!" Then he said, "We are still short of five people. I will ask Chu Xining if they are willing to be in the same group with us!" These were the only people she knew in the class.

Li Mu smiled shyly and said nothing more.

This time, in order to get close to Lan Ziye, he spent a lot of money, but fortunately, he had already found out before coming that Lan Shiershao had no hobbies and was only very fond of spirit stones. Otherwise, it would be difficult to gain Lan Ziye's trust today.

Zhu Fei looked at Li Mu with disdain. She really didn't know why Lan Ziye would be moved by such a small piece of spirit stone. After all, spirit stones have no other use except that they look good!

However, Lan Ziye agreed to let Li Mu join, so it was useless for her to object.

Talking too much would only make people dislike her. She still remembered that in the first session, Lan Rongrong had many opinions about her because of her talkativeness, and she almost couldn't fit into their small group.

Zhu Fei closed her mouth and stopped talking.

Jin Xu and Meng Yuan kept glancing in Lan Ziye's direction. They really wanted to join Lan Ziye's group, but his boss didn't seem too keen. What should they do? Should they abandon their boss or lose out on Lan Ziye? It was such a dilemma, wasn't it?

Chu Xining was also extremely confused at this moment. He really didn't understand why his elder brother asked him to participate in this training? To protect Lan Ziye? Did Lan Ziye need protection because he was so strong?

Thinking of this, Chu Xining looked in the direction of Chu Xixuan again, and saw that Chu Xixuan's eyes were like an eagle, staring at Li Mu beside Lan Ziye, as if he wanted to eat Li Mu alive.

Chu Xining was surprised. Would his elder brother be jealous of that coward Li Mu?

Isn't jealousy principled and without bottom line? ⊙ω⊙

Jin Xu and Meng Yuan looked at each other in confusion. The team-forming time was about to end, but the boss remained motionless. He neither went to find Lan Ziye nor other classmates. He even had a sullen face and did not express his opinion to the classmates who came to consult him, which made them dare not agree to others' requests easily.
