"Everyone, please take your seats!"
As the organizer for today's event, Gu Anlei naturally greeted the group.
"Wow, so many beautiful women have come?" Jiang Yuan emerged from behind the screen just as these people entered.
"It's you?"
Among them, Ji Jingyun was the least cautious, because she didn't know Jiang Yuan's identity and had the least involvement with him.
"It's been a while, and everyone's strength has greatly improved." Jiang Yuan looked at each of them one by one.
There's no need to hide the fact that she knows these people, because Zhong Litong can find out for herself. Pretending not to know them clearly indicates that she has something to hide, so it's better to be open and honest.
"It would be strange if we didn't improve, okay? After all, we went through the most brutal freshman assessment ever. The rest are the elite of the elite!" Ji Jingyun said, sticking out his tongue with a playful expression.
"Please take a seat, let's eat and chat!" Gu Anlei smiled and sat down in the seat of honor, as if it were her right.
The group took their seats without paying any attention to where they were sitting; they simply sat down close together.
"Sister Gu, what brings you here today?" Meng Xin felt that today's situation was a bit sudden, as if it was targeting someone. She was one of the few people who knew about Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan's affairs, and had participated in a certain plan under Liu Zhaodi's organization, so she did not want to get involved in the affairs of Huasheng Academy.
"It's nothing serious. You are all top geniuses of this year, so we thought we'd get together so that we can look out for each other in the future, whether it's the Divine Realm or the Pilgrimage Road, and not be left isolated and helpless!" Gu Anlei explained her reasoning.
"I'm not very strong, so I probably can't be of much help!" Meng Xin said with a troubled expression.
“Low strength is not a problem. This time, only people who are sixty years old are allowed to enter the Divine Realm, so their strength is unlikely to be too strong. It would be quite good if they could reach the Heavenly Spirit Realm on average,” Gu Anlei said with a faint smile.
None of them spoke. They all knew more or less about these things. Although they were only at the Heavenly Spirit Realm for the time being, none of them were over twenty years old, and they were aware of their potential.
"I won't hide it from you, the school has already made arrangements for the Divine Realm and the Pilgrimage Route."
As Gu Anlei spoke, she glanced at Jiang Yuan intentionally or unintentionally before saying, "The pilgrimage route will be postponed until the divine status is determined. However, all the points obtained in the divine status secret realm will be included in the Heavenly Ranking and will not affect the quota for the pilgrimage route."
"Is that really so?" Ji Jingyun had heard some rumors before, and now that he heard it from Gu Anlei, he was even more convinced, because Gu Anlei was practically the representative of Huasheng Academy, and her words were definitely not wrong.
"Have you two formed a team before?" Gu Anlei revealed the purpose of her trip. Under Zhong Litong's persuasion, she wanted to form an alliance with Jiang Yuan because this was a newly established emperor, and she needed to win over her master's camp.
“We’ve temporarily formed a two-person team!” Lin Siyin raised her hand and said.
The other member of the two-person team she was referring to must be Xie Chuan, who was grinning foolishly next to her. The two hadn't seen each other for a while and their relationship had warmed up considerably. At least since they entered the private room, they hadn't let go of each other's hands.
"Yes, if you want to join our team or let us join your team, that's fine. Of course, there have to be two spots available, otherwise we won't split them up!" Xie Chuan added.
"And you?" Gu Anlei looked at Meng Xin and Ji Jingyun, while Xu Yi and Xu Xin were automatically ignored by her.
"I haven't decided yet, but a few people in the Lingwu Club want me to team up with them," Ji Jingyun explained.
Hua Sheng Academy is located in Zhongzhou, while Ji Jingyun belongs to the Shennong clan. Therefore, she doesn't have many highly talented members of her clan at Hua Sheng Academy, which is why she has been hesitant.
“In that case, let’s see if we can form a team. I’m alone right now, so it would be easier to move around if we formed a team!” Gu Anlei said.
Upon hearing this, Meng Xin shared her thoughts: "Sister Gu, I'm used to being alone, and I have no intention of competing for divine status or a spot on the pilgrimage path, so it doesn't matter to me whether I form a team or not!"
Gu Anlei shook her head and said, "Meng Xin, you must be in my group. My master specifically told me to take good care of you before he left!"
Whether it was due to the influence of her incarnation memories or some other reason, Meng Xin was the only one who received special care from her companion god.
"And you, Jiang Yuan, do you have a team? Why don't you come together?" Gu Anlei asked Jiang Yuan. Originally, it was the Prophet who recruited Jiang Yuan this time.
Jiang Yuan hesitated and said, "The Three Emperors Alliance invited me before, and I agreed, so I'm afraid I can't join any other teams."
He definitely couldn't be with Gu Anlei. Although Gu Anlei had a close relationship with him, she was also an uncertain factor. If she was being monitored by Zhong Litong the whole time, he would be exposed sooner or later.
"The Three Sovereigns Alliance? I don't know who invited you?" Ji Jingyun looked at Jiang Yuan in confusion. She herself was also a member of the Three Sovereigns Alliance, but because Zhongzhou was not the main base of the Shennong clan, she could not compare with the Fuxi clan in terms of control.
Jiang Yuan didn't mind being exposed by Ji Jingyun, and simply explained, "You're not a freshman, so it's normal that you don't know!"
"Oh!" Ji Jingyun didn't ask any further questions.
Just then, Gu Anlei suddenly got up and walked towards another room separated by the screen. Although the group had some questions, they continued eating and chatting.
A short while later, Gu Anlei came out, but this time she was carrying a pot of wine. She smiled and said, "Everyone, this is a farewell wine given by an elder. It has the effect of strengthening the body. Come on, everyone, share it."
