Ji Yuan didn't manage to scare Pu Erge, so she figured it was pointless and retreated. Looking at Pu Erge's expressionless face, which didn't change at all, she thought to herself that he was a monster.
Pu Erge didn't even need to look at her to know that the girl was cursing her in her heart.
The road to the beach was relatively smooth for the two of them, but after a while, they searched around several times but couldn't find Xu Yuehuai. When they looked around, there was no one else around.
"This place is a bit strange. Why is no one here? Where is Yueyue? Is she still in the sea? Has she suffocated after all this time?" Ji Yuanchi squatted by the sea, looking at the calm surface of the sea with a worried look in her eyes.
Suddenly, a splash of water appeared on the sea, and several people ran happily, "Hehehe, you can't catch me! I'm the first one to come up here."
Yan Zhi saw this and chuckled, "You're too naive. I don't want to compete with you."
Behind their playful figures appeared Xu Yuehuai, who couldn't wait to dry his clothes after getting ashore, unwilling to endure even a little bit of discomfort.
After walking a few steps, the group realized that there were two people standing on the shore. Yan Zhi, as an important figure in the Guo family's group, knew about the Pu family and the elites in the academy. He immediately recognized the two people standing on the shore as Ji Yuanchi and Pu Erge.
When Brother Pu saw the people coming from the sea, he was just about to prepare for battle when the person next to him ran towards them like a horse let loose. Brother Pu's face darkened. He put away his weapon and followed his little sister.
"Yueyue!" Ji Yuanchi pounced on Xu Yuehuai like a bear, and only after that did she check her body for any injuries. "I heard you were here, so I rushed over and looked for you for a long time but couldn't find you. I thought something had happened to you, and I was so scared!"
Ji Yuanchi became somewhat sullen when talking about her experiences on the shore.
Xu Yuehuai patted her head reassuringly, "Who is that?"
She naturally noticed the person following behind Ji Yuanchi. That person's figure seemed extraordinary, definitely not a simple person.
Ji Yuanchi then remembered to introduce the two of them.
Xu Yuehuai wasn't particularly surprised when she learned that the man was her brother. She had realized this when the Pu family was present. "Xu Yuehuai, you can call me Yueyue along with Achi."
Xu Yuehuai was very easy to talk to Ji Yuanchi's family. Pu Erge originally thought it would be the same type of woman as the one he had at home before, but he didn't expect her to be completely different.
He nodded slightly and said, "Since you are my little sister's friend, you can call me Second Brother like she does, so it won't mess up the seniority."
After exchanging a few words, Yan Zhi walked ahead of the group, looked at Xu Yuehuai, and said, "We're leaving here for the next place. Do you want to come with us?"
Yan Zhi's eyes held a hint of expectation; she still really hoped Xu Yuehuai would come along.
Xu Yuehuai glanced at Ji Yuanchi and Pu Erge, and said, "No, I'm with my friend. Thank you for taking me in."
Yan Zhi was slightly disappointed, but quickly concealed it so that no one could detect anything amiss. "No problem, no problem. Since you are Elder Guo's disciple, you are practically a member of the Guo family. There's no need to be so polite!"
The two sides exchanged only a few words before the disciples at the back began to urge them on, as there wasn't much time left in the competition and they needed to find the next place with a flag.
Yan Zhi said goodbye to them and left.
In an instant, only the three of them remained on the beach. Ji Yuanchi usually listened to Xu Yuehuai in everything she did, but this time she subconsciously looked at Xu Yuehuai as well.
However, Xu Yuehuai did not speak immediately, but looked in the direction of Pu Erge. Pu Erge understood her meaning and said, "Little sister's meaning is my meaning."
Hearing this, Xu Yuehuai finally spoke up, saying, "I have almost enough pieces, so securing first place shouldn't be a problem. How many do you have? Can you advance?"
Ji Yuanchi checked her flags and was shocked to find that she had taken a hundred flags from Fu Mu. "I'm in the top 10 now! That's pretty high, I'm very satisfied."
Ji Yuanchi wasn't particularly interested in rankings, but Pu Erge was slightly displeased when he heard her say that. "It seems we're going to have to part ways. If the Pu family wants to achieve good results in this competition, I, as one of the team captains, must set an example."
Seeing that Ji Yuanchi was about to lose her temper, Pu Erge quickly explained that he valued this little sister very much.
After listening, Ji Yuanchi swallowed the words she was about to say about Pu Erge's unsociable behavior. "Second Brother, you've worked hard! Well..."
Before Ji Yuanchi could speak, Xu Yuehuai interrupted her, "Why don't we go together? That way we can look out for each other."
After discussing it, the three decided to set off together. Just as they left the sea area, they were blocked in their way by a black-haired boy and a white-haired boy.
Ji Yuanchi stared curiously at the head of white hair and asked cautiously, "Is this natural? Or are you sick?"
Ji Yuanchi really thought the hair was cool, but if she went back with this head of white hair, she would definitely get a beating.
Her eyes were filled with envy.
Fu Ziyi chuckled as she looked at the interesting girl in front of her, and answered for Baili Xiuwen, "He's been like this since he was little, and he's incredibly handsome."
Baili Xiuwen glanced at him indifferently and did not refute him.
"Junior Sister Xu, we've been looking for you everywhere." Fu Ziyi turned to look at Xu Yuehuai standing to the side and said in a nonchalant manner.
Xu Yuehuai did not recognize the two people in front of her. Looking at the white hair and the fact that the young man had no weapons and exuded a ghostly aura, she bowed to them and said, "Greetings, senior brothers."
Fu Ziyi's eyes lit up. "How did you know?"
"I had long heard of the names of my two senior brothers in the academy, and seeing them today, I can confirm that they are indeed well-deserved," Xu Yuehuai said calmly.
Ji Yuanchi and Pu Erge watched the group playing riddles from the side.
"I wonder what important business my two senior brothers have with me?" Xu Yuehuai went straight to the point. They still had things to do and it wasn't appropriate for them to waste too much time in this place.
Fu Ziyi shook the fan in his hand and said casually, "It's nothing serious. I just saw that my junior sister is very strong and wanted to see what kind of person she is."
Xu Yuehuai and others: "..."
After exchanging a few polite words, Xu Yuehuai began to say goodbye and part ways with them. However, as they walked ahead, the two men followed closely behind, like a persistent leech.
Both of these people were Dean Zhong's students, and everyone turned their attention to Dean Zhong, seemingly waiting for him to give an explanation.
