After Shushu and the others entered the courtyard, they closed the door behind them. When they heard noises downstairs, they naturally assumed that the remaining three had arrived.
So Shushu didn't think much of it and immediately called out to Lu Li, "Senior Brother, the other three should have arrived. Let's go down and say hello too."
As she spoke, she got up and walked out.
Lu Li didn't think much of it and followed behind Shushu, closing the door behind him. He also reminded her, "Let's go call Hongyuan together on the way."
As he said this, he quickly stepped over the sorghum and arrived at Dong Hongyuan's door. Just as he was about to knock, the door creaked open from the inside, accompanied by Dong Hongyuan's voice.
"Let's go, I heard the noise downstairs too."
Then, the three of them went downstairs, but when they saw the situation on the first floor, they were all stunned.
Because what came wasn't a human, but five Gale Eagles.
These five Gale Eagles were old acquaintances of theirs, the same five they had encountered during the second stage of the assessment.
Before leaving the small world, Lu Li had already taken the three cubs into his space and returned them to their parents when he had the chance, and he watched the family fly back to their nest.
They thought they would never see each other again, but to their surprise, only three days later, they came looking for them and even broke the seal on their courtyard.
Seeing the five excited Gale Eagles, especially the three cubs that rushed over excitedly as soon as they spotted him, Shushu instinctively caught them before asking a question.
"Why are you here?"
Her parents, the Gale Eagle, answered her: "Little one, we've come to seek refuge with you."
Shushu hadn't expected this answer either. She was stunned for a moment, then repeated uncertainly, "Go to seek refuge?" Was that what she meant?
As it turned out, Shushu had not misunderstood the meaning of the Gale Eagle. In the next second, the Gale Eagle's parents had already spontaneously recognized Lu Li as their master.
Even the three little ones surrounding Shushu followed suit and quickly recognized Shushu as their master.
The five beams of contract light descended almost simultaneously, two around Lu Li and three around Shushu.
Even after the light disappeared, Shushu's mouth remained slightly open. It took her quite a while to come to her senses, followed by a headache.
Looking down at the three pairs of eyes staring at him expectantly, Shushu didn't know whether to scold him or not. And the gazes he saw at the two giant Gale Eagles were even more indescribable.
Just as Shushu was having a headache, another noise came from the courtyard gate.
Without even thinking, Shushu immediately put away the three Gale Eagle cubs, and Lu Li did the same.
So, when Tong Xinyan opened the courtyard gate and came in, she was startled by three pairs of eyes staring straight at her.
Fortunately, she knew Dong Hongyuan, and she had some impression of Lu Li and Shushu because of their performance in the small world and the news she heard about the Dong family.
They quickly realized that these were their roommates and greeted them and introduced them.
"Friendly host, friendly guests, I am Tong Xinyan, and my dormitory is here too."
It wasn't that she was being impolite, but rather that she only knew the person and didn't know Lu Li and Shushu's names yet, so there was nothing wrong with calling them that.
Since the other party had spoken, and Shushu wasn't aloof, he was about to reply when two more people walked in through the door.
If nothing unexpected happened, it was the remaining two roommates. Shushu also looked up and glanced over. However, when she saw the woman among the two people, she was clearly stunned for a moment.
But she quickly suppressed this surprise, and no one else noticed except for Lu Li, who knew her very well.
Lu Li always paid close attention to matters concerning millet and potatoes. Noticing that the way she looked at that person was strange, Lu Li also glanced at her.
Then, Lu Li was also briefly surprised, looked at Shushu, and received a subtle nod from Shushu before the senior and junior siblings casually looked away.
At this moment, Tong Xinyan turned around and greeted the two people behind her, and even asked them their names.
They didn't refuse and readily introduced themselves.
The man was Jiang Zhixian from the Qingyu Continent, and the woman was Qiu Nuanshu from the Huaiyu Continent.
Yes, it's Huaiyu Continent, the Huaiyu Continent where Lu Li and Shushu spent a short time before.
This Qiu Nuanshu is none other than the one who was the first to fight Shushu when Shushu opened the competition arena in Luofeng Secret Realm, and who also helped Shushu call for reinforcements.
Or rather, that's not quite right, because while Qiu Nuanshu's body was indeed Qiu Nuanshu's, the soul within had already been replaced.
Simply put, Qiu Nuanshu has been possessed, which is why Shushu and Lu Li had strange expressions the moment they saw her.
That's why the two students paired up with Dong Hongyuan when they introduced themselves.
Only "Flying Over the Continent" was added before "Dong Hongyuan's" name, while the names of the senior and junior siblings were only mentioned, their origins were vaguely described, and the Huaiyu Continent was not mentioned.
Dong Hongyuan was a man of few words, and with Lu Li and Shushu helping to introduce him, he saved himself the trouble of talking, so naturally he had no objections.
Tong Xinyan had already received some information from her family and knew that these two people were extraordinary, but she had no intention of exposing them. Jiang Zhixian came from the Qingyu Continent and was not so well-informed.
Furthermore, neither Shushu nor Lu Li had ever shown themselves in front of the real Qiu Nuanshu, so the person who possessed her body naturally didn't think much of it.
She only assumed that Lu Li and Shushu were from the Flying Continent, completely unaware that her identity had already been seen through.
After a brief introduction, the group didn't exchange any more words. Shushu, Luli, and Dong Hongyuan went to Luli's room together, while the other three went to the right to tidy up their room.
Dong Hongyuan was also very perceptive. Although he did not see through Qiu Nuanshu, he immediately shared his feelings after Lu Li activated the isolation array.
Upon learning that the person had been possessed, he frowned even more and subconsciously told himself to stay away from the other party.
Meanwhile, Qiu Nuanshu, the protagonist he was trying to avoid, was thinking about how to get close to him, simply because she sensed the strong aura of fortune emanating from Dong Hongyuan.
As for Shushu and Luli, she couldn't see the specifics, so she didn't pay much attention to them.
