After finishing everything, Zhu Fanfan returned to her room and fell asleep instantly. When she woke up the next day, it was already bright outside. It had been a long time since she had gotten up so late. But why did it feel so quiet today?
First, I looked at the little animals in the space. Snow Knife was training Little Gray. Little Gray's furry face clearly showed the words "dog's sycophant," and its tail was wagging like a dog, almost ready to take off. The golden eagle was circling in the sky, and judging from its calls, it seemed to be in a good mood, flying around in circles. However, the two-headed snake was nowhere to be seen today. After careful observation, I found it hiding in a cave, coiled up tightly, not moving at all.
The other animals seemed oblivious to the danger, continuing to eat leisurely without any change in response to the new arrival.
Zhu Fanfan walked out of the room, and Tong Ze saw this and quickly stepped forward to greet her: "Class monitor, good morning."
Zhu Fanfan couldn't very well slap someone who was smiling at her: "Good morning, what are you doing?"
Tong replied, "We just got back from a run. We can't skip a day of exercise; if we don't, our hands and feet will become sluggish."
Zhu Fanfan still advised, "Since you're injured, you should rest well and avoid leaving any lasting effects."
Tong didn't care: "We're not delicate girls. We're tough and it's no big deal. It just looks serious, but it's all superficial injuries. It's just for show..."
After saying that, he chuckled twice. He forgot that the class monitor was also a girl, and a very protective one at that. Along with being protective, she also had a strong desire for revenge. He wondered what he had said that made her unhappy.
Zhu Fanfan laughed: "Are you saying I'm spoiled?"
Tong hurriedly explained, "That's not what I meant. The class monitor is the best class monitor in the world, the strongest..." It felt strange.
Zhu Fanfan: ...She's still a delicate young girl, thank you.
Xi Yan also came out and said to Zhu Fanfan, "I saved some food for you. They've all eaten. I was waiting for you to come together, and I also wanted to tell you that our team leader might be coming tomorrow."
Zhu Fanfan followed along; she was hungry.
The day passed peacefully, as if the previous conflict had never existed. The two sisters, Shaoling and Shaoling, spoke softly, seemingly talking to someone. It was obvious who they were talking to without even asking. The others had been warned by Xi Yan and dared not say anything more.
Only Tong Ze and the others were a little worried that their class monitor would be taught a lesson by the leader of the Dragon Group, after all, that was someone as powerful as the old leader. However, after Zhu Fanfan comforted them, they were no longer worried and began to train themselves. Zhu Fanfan saw that they were all fine and told them to do what they could and then left it to them.
A rare peaceful day passed, and Zhuge Qianxing arrived in the evening, looking travel-worn. His hair was disheveled, his clothes were wrinkled, and his exhaustion was palpable, as if he had been drained of his life force. Zhu Fanfan's first thought was, "You've been violated?"
Zhuge Qianxing said irritably, "Can't you speak like a human being? I came here with the three elders using my special abilities. I was worried that you little bastards would cause trouble and the country would lose talent, so I rushed here ahead of schedule. Especially you, Zhu Fanfan, you heartless little devil, you don't want anything good for me."
Zhu Fanfan didn't refute it. It was just that she spoke carelessly and misspoke. But then again, no one would be blind enough to mistreat an old man like that, right?
Zhuge Qianxing saw through Zhu Fanfan's meaning and was furious. He turned to Xi Yan and said, "Xi Yan, you've got some nerve! You dared to come here to explore without my permission, and there are even bandits around. What were you thinking? You even got the military involved. Do you even respect me? Have you been planning to usurp my position for a long time?"
Xi Yan defended himself: "I submitted a report, and it has been approved. It has your seal on it."
Zhuge Qianxing immediately retorted, "When did I approve it? Do you even know what this forest is called? The Bone-Eating Forest. It's marked as forbidden in the Dragon Group's files. There are only four such places in the entire country. How did you manage to find one so easily? Should we give you a round of applause and set off some firecrackers to celebrate?"
Xi Yan remained silent, waiting for the team leader to finish his tirade.
Zhuge Qianxing pointed at Xi Yan and Zhu Fanfan: "You two are really something, leading your team in yesterday. You—you—Xi Yan, you unlucky idiot, this is how I taught you..."
He originally wanted to give the two of them a good scolding for being so arrogant, but he couldn't bring himself to scold Zhu Fanfan. Looking at the girl with her innocent face, he knew that if he dared to scold her, she would dare to fight back, or even hit him. So he could only scold Xi Yan, scolding him twice as much, until he calmed down.
While Zhuge Qianxing was venting his anger, Elder Zhen was already introducing himself: "I'm in charge of array formations, you can just call me Grandpa Array."
Zhu Fanfan asked curiously, "Do you call yourselves whatever you're in charge of, or is your surname 'Zhen'?"
Elder Zhen smiled and said, "Naturally, you call someone what you're taught. Just like Elder Dan back then, he mainly refined pills and taught students how to refine pills and some supernatural medical skills, so he was respectfully called Elder Dan. I'm more skilled in formations, so everyone calls me Elder Zhen. I'm getting old and have forgotten my own surname and given name. If you don't mind, you can call me Grandpa Zhen. If you don't want to, you can just follow the crowd and call me Elder Zhen."
Zhu Fanfan smiled sweetly and said, "Hello, Grandpa Zhen, I'm Zhu Fanfan."
Elder Zhen smiled happily: "I know you, Elder Dan's prized student. I've heard so much about you, young friend."
Zhu Fanfan replied politely, "I dare not accept such praise. It is the seniors of the Dragon Group who are truly admirable."
The two were having a pleasant conversation when the other side finally stopped. Zhuge Qianxing said angrily, "Come inside with me, I'll tell you about the situation here."
They're all a bunch of troublemakers. He's got a full schedule lately, and now he has to clean up their messes. It's outrageous! He's the team leader, not a nanny. He has to wipe their dirty laundry.
The Dragon Group members followed obediently in like quails. Zhuge Qianxing was furious when he saw them: "You guys are really something. You have so much energy, why don't you go adventuring in the Bone-Eroding Forest instead of fighting your own people? You've got guts, killing each other. Is this how I taught you? If anyone doesn't want to live, just tell me and I'll take care of you myself. You've eaten and drunk your fill, and all you can do is fight and brawl, is that it? If you don't want to stay in the Dragon Group, just tell me. I won't force you."
The group lowered their heads, not daring to speak. Only Zhu Fanfan, after listening, said to Zhuge Qianxing, "Your problem is the biggest. Without your permission, would they be so arrogant? It's just a case of the superiors setting an example for the subordinates."
