Chapter 489: Another member joins the alliance
On the other side, Shi Ling and the other two stood up and turned to leave, and the smiles on their faces instantly disappeared.
Shi Ling's face was cold, "What do you think?"
Qiao Qingyu crossed his arms and whispered, "It's really just like what the dean told me, hypocritical."
Akino, who was usually carefree, looked much more steady at this moment. He frowned and said, "Although he looked friendly, his disguise was too poor. It was obvious that he had ulterior motives."
Qiao Qingyu frowned and asked, "Do we still want to form an alliance with them?"
Shi Ling sighed, "We've already encountered them, and they haven't done anything excessive. If we can get them out, that would be good too. After all, we're all of the same age, and it would be a shame if something happened here."
Qiu Ye said calmly, "If they behave themselves, we'll be good teammates with the same aspirations. But if they really have other little ideas..."
Qiao Qingyu curled his lips, spread his hands, and said in a slightly cold voice, "The Jersey Imperial College is getting worse and worse after all."
The two core members of a team are actually Spirit Emperors.
It seems that they relied on their magical beasts most of the time along the way.
Eight-star super beasts, the Zesili Imperial Academy also invested heavily in these two disciples.
Qiao Qingyu stood tall and straight with a faint smile on his lips, but behind that smile was a sharpness and arrogance that could not be ignored.
Thinking of Luo Li and the others, her smile softened a bit, "Let's go, Luo Li is still waiting for us."
Shi Ling and Qiu Ye nodded and silently quickened their pace.
Arriving at the temporary camp, the three of them said with a smile, "We're back."
Luo Li opened her eyes when she heard the sound and looked up, "How is it going?"
Akino shrugged, "Everything went well. They agreed and will be joining us in a quarter of an hour at most."
"That's good." Since the problem was solved, Luo Li didn't want to ask any more questions. She just nodded and closed her eyes again.
Luo Li closed her eyes and rested, her eyelashes trembling slightly, as if even her breathing had blended into the tranquility around her.
Shi Ling walked to her side quietly and also
A quarter of an hour later, a team from the Zesili Imperial College came over from not far away.
The sound woke everyone up, and their eyes instantly became clear. They looked at each other and slowly stood up.
Luo Li slowly opened her eyes, stood up, folded her arms and leaned against a tree nearby, her eyes indifferently meeting the gaze of Ming Qingzhu who was walking slowly opposite her.
Ming Qingzhu was not embarrassed when Luo Li found out that she was observing her. Instead, she gave Luo Li a gentle smile.
Luo Li curled her lips slightly and nodded at her, then shifted her gaze to look at Shi Ling and Qiu Ye, "Now that everyone is here, let's set off now. What do you think?"
Shi Ling and Qiu Ye nodded, "No problem, I'll listen to you."
Ming Qingzhu walked over and asked gently, "Senior Brother Shi, Senior Brother Qiu, why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you introduce us to these people first?"
Akino was a straightforward person. Upon hearing this, he frowned slightly and said, "Didn't I just tell you about the teams in our alliance? You forgot so quickly? What a memory you have."
A hint of smile appeared in Qiao Qingyu's eyes. Her senior brother was a straightforward person and he really didn't care who the other person was.
However, she still had to build good interpersonal relationships for her senior brother.
So she smiled and said to Ming Qingzhu, "Miss Ming, my senior brother has always been straightforward. We just told Miss Ming about the academies within the alliance and didn't introduce the disciples. I guess Miss Ming wants everyone to get to know each other, right?"
As she spoke, she felt a little tired in her heart. Before the college competition, how could the instructor of Jerseyli Empire College not introduce the contestants from other colleges to her?
After all, the list of participants from each college was submitted to this year's organizer, Skjaer Imperial College, two months in advance.
What's more, except for the Ancient Temple, the other three academies present here have been rivals of the Zesili Imperial Academy for hundreds of years. How could she not know these outstanding people of this generation?
But for the sake of face, Qiao Qingyu still had to give her a way out.
Luo Li raised her eyebrows. Qiao Qingyu was indeed very good at dealing with people. Qiu Ye had such a good reputation in the outside world, and Qiao Qingyu made an indelible contribution.
Ming Qingzhu's face faltered for a moment after hearing Qiu Ye's words, but when she heard Qiao Qingzhu offering her a way out, she smiled softly and continued, "It's also because I didn't explain it clearly. My original intention was the same as what Senior Sister Qiao said, that we should get to know each other. After all, we will be traveling together in the future."
Her smile was like one she had seen tens of thousands of times before, the curve of her lips was just right, not too enthusiastic, nor too sloppy.
Like a flower just blooming in spring, gentle and bright, she took light steps and slowly walked towards Qiao Qingyu, her eyes that seemed to be able to speak flashing with sincerity and friendliness.
Seeing this, Qiao Qingyu also raised the corners of his mouth slightly to save his face, as if the subtle awkwardness before had instantly disappeared.
"Senior Sister Qiao is right. We should really get to know each other better." Ming Qingzhu's voice was soft and clear. She stood in front of Shi Ling and Yue Hanchuan, gently extending her hand, palm upward, her gesture of invitation elegant yet humble. "Now that we've formed an alliance, in the days ahead, whether facing challenges or enjoying glory, we will be partners fighting side by side."
"Please allow me, Ming Qingzhu, to formally introduce myself to everyone."
Shi Ling moved away silently, "We have already introduced each other."
Yue Hanchuan had a blank expression on his face. He ignored the hands that were extended to him and said coldly, "My name is Yue Hanchuan."
Ye Yichen coughed violently, put his arm around Yue Hanchuan's shoulders, and said to Ming Qingzhu with a smile, "He has always been cold-natured, don't take it to heart."
Ming Qingzhu withdrew her hand and looked at Ye Yichen, brewing a more charming smile, "I won't take it to heart. I wonder who you are?"
Ye Yichen shrugged and said with a smile, "My name is Ye Yichen, I'm from Tianyuan College. Didn't we meet once before at the city gate? Although there were some unpleasantness, I made a decision in an emergency. I won't take it to heart now."
Luo Li held her forehead with her hand. In fact, Ye Yichen also had emotional intelligence, but not much.
Lan Xiaoxiao's lips twitched as well. Could it be that Ye Yichen thought he had high emotional intelligence?
Ming Qingzhu's eyes lit up slightly when she heard this, as if she was gently touched by Ye Yichen's name, and she completely ignored the words from Ye Yichen's mouth.
She opened her red lips slightly, her voice soft but with a barely perceptible hint of playfulness, "So it's Senior Brother Ye Yichen. Your reputation is well-known, and seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed extraordinary."
Shi Ling and Qiu Ye were a little concerned and asked, "Did anything happen to you at the city gate?"
