"Mark, mind your place!" Li Tiangen snapped. "Are these the kinds of things you should be saying?"

Li Tiangen cautiously looked around, and only felt relieved when he didn't see Cheng Yu. It wouldn't be good if Cheng Yu heard what Mark had just said.

They were students, but Mark's identity was clearly unusual, otherwise he wouldn't have been sent out. He had been in the martial arts school for two years and knew a little about some things, such as Cheng Yu, who was quite mysterious in the school.

On several occasions, he also saw footage of the former curator being reprimanded by him.

Obviously, this person is absolutely not to be offended. If we offend him because of a few words of dissatisfaction from Mark, things will not go well.

Furthermore, their safety was partly dependent on him, so offending him would be even more unwise.

"What? Did I say something wrong?" Mark didn't think he was wrong. On the contrary, he felt he was right. Since the curator sent him to protect them, shouldn't he go with them? What was the point of being so selfish?

What if they encounter danger? If something unexpected happens, can he bear the responsibility?

"Alright, I believe Teacher Cheng Yu won't just abandon us like this. He's a Saint-level expert; finding us wouldn't be a small matter for him."

Wang Ren remained silent, his eyes vacant, seemingly staring into nowhere.

It was Liang Yi who spoke, his face showing a hint of impatience. "Honestly, you're always the one causing the most trouble on every mission. Can't you just shut up for a second?"

The same thing happened the last few times. As soon as we arrived at our destination, this problem would surface, and I would have to say a few words to find fault.

Despite his youthful appearance, Liang Yi can be quite intimidating when he frowns.

Longyue watched with great interest. This young man acted one way in front of her, but quite arrogantly in front of others.

“I…” Mark wanted to say something, but no one paid him any attention. Wang Ren patted him on the shoulder from behind and followed him toward the jungle. There were many other martial artists around him who were also heading to the jungle.

Stepping out of the city feels like entering another world.

The city was bustling with people, filled with noise and the cries of vendors.

Skyscrapers and tree-lined boulevards are familiar and beloved by humankind.

Upon entering the wilderness, a desolate atmosphere swept over them, and a scene eroded by time unfolded before all the warriors.

"Who will be the captain?" After the group settled on a direction, Li Tiangen asked.

"Let's stick to the old rules," Liang Yi said casually.

"I agree!" Gao Tianqi smiled sheepishly. As long as he wasn't the captain, he didn't care who was the captain.

"I have no objection either," Li Hei said calmly. It didn't matter who was the captain, since they weren't that familiar with each other anyway.

Longyue had no objections either, nodding to Li Tiangen, "Whatever you like!"

"Since no one has any objections, then..."

"I have a problem with that!"

Just as Li Tiangen was about to announce that he would be the team leader, Mark interrupted him. Li Tiangen had always been the team leader because he was the oldest among them, almost thirty years old.

"you say."

Interrupting someone is impolite. Li Tiangen frowned slightly, then relaxed his brow.

“I think we can rotate the team leader position so that we don’t have to trouble you with every mission. This way, we can all get opportunities to train.”

Mark smiled and offered his idea, glancing at the expressions of those around him afterward, but no one paid him any attention. Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Mark cursed inwardly.

"What do you think? What do you think of Mark's proposal?" Li Tiangen asked, his expression unchanged.

"casual!"

“Since it was Mark who suggested it, then you can be the captain.” Li Tiangen glanced at Mark indifferently. They had been working together for several months, and he roughly knew what Mark was thinking. He was rather eager for quick success and instant benefits, but he was also relatively well-behaved.

Mark gritted his teeth. Although the result was what he wanted, the process wasn't. Shouldn't everyone be supporting him? He was fighting for everyone's interests!

"yes."

Mark felt a moment of frustration. Everyone was an A-level student, so why was it right for him to be the captain, but not for him?

Longyue's gaze lingered on Mark for two seconds. It didn't matter who the captain was, as long as it didn't cause any problems.

...

...

"Senior sister, over here!" Liang Yi waved to Longyue. In front of him was a pure white rabbit jumping around. Unlike traditional rabbits, this rabbit from the Lingji Century was as big as a small mountain.

Li Hei pursed his thin lips, his dark eyes glancing at Liang Yi without a trace of emotion. He had absolutely no liking for this person who was always trying to get his attention from Long Yue.

The others knew that Liang Yi admired Long Yue, so they weren't surprised. However, it was strange to see someone who used to be aloof suddenly become a "simp."

Although the junior sister's strength is not as good as theirs, her talent is terrifying. Calling her "senior sister" is not a bad thing. Is she an S-level talent? Actually, they are envious of her.

Where the others couldn't see, Mark gave Oborozuki a deep look before replying to the message on his personal terminal.

I've met the person, what's the next step?

Find an opportunity to cripple her!

【yes!】

Sensing someone looking at her, Longyue turned around and saw Mark's friendly smile.

Hazy Moon:......

Stop laughing, it's creepy!

Mark has a very ordinary face, and from certain angles he is even a little ugly. What Oborozuki sees are two big nostrils and squinty eyes.

"Senior sister, look, isn't it cute?" Liang Yi jumped onto the rabbit, grabbed its ears with both hands, and squeezed its body tightly with his legs.

On one side, Li Tiangen couldn't bear to watch anymore. He, who was always composed, rejected such childish behavior and felt awkward watching others do it.

"Liang Yi, just kill him, stop playing around!"

They had been in the wilderness for a while, but not very far, so the monster encountered this one, which was edible.

"Hehe, I'll go help too!" Qian Miaomiao, who had been itching to get involved, turned back to Longyue with a grin as she took a step forward.

"Senior sister, shall we go together?"

"I want to come too!" Gao Tianqi touched his forehead, his bright white teeth standing out in the sunlight.

Liang Yi punched the rabbit in the throat, and the rabbit stopped jumping. Before the rabbit fell to the ground, Liang Yi jumped off it and landed on the ground.

With a thud, the giant rabbit fell to the ground, and scarlet blood flowed from its throat.

"Why aren't you going?" Mark asked Wang Ren, who remained silent to the side, as he watched them chatting and laughing.

Wang Ren shook his head: "They're enough. If I go, I'll just take up space."

Mark smiled but didn't say anything, and didn't move either.

That night, the sky was dark, and they found a dilapidated building that could shelter them from the wind to rest for the night.

On a dark and windy night, a dark figure leaped in through the window.

The man approached furtively and came before the giant rabbit, which was as tall as a small mountain.
