Chapter 686 - : Competition System
Chapter 686: Competition System
“There are some matters that are being resolved.” Su Huiqing placed her hand on the keyboard and started typing. “Are you coming back to the wasteland with me tonight?”
“Go, go, go. Of course, I have to go!” Qu Yan and the rest had no objections. “Everyone on the island is here. Why can’t I go?!”
Yu Xiangyang was originally fiddling with the test tube. Upon hearing this, he nodded. “I will be discussing with Gu Li how to develop trade.”
They would build a small city in the wasteland and slowly develop it at the borders.
The most important thing in a city was the economic center. No one knew this better than Su Huiqing and the rest.
Overseas, martial arts were the most important. In terms of finances, even ten thousand overseas people could not compare to Su Huiqing. Not to mention Su Huiqing, just Gu Li alone was enough to deal with them.
“But why are you here today?” Qu Yan blinked.
Su Huiqing pressed the enter key. Upon hearing this, her eyes lit up. “It’s too troublesome at home.”
What was there to be frustrated about?
Qu Yan wanted to ask, but seeing that Su Huiqing’s eyes were slightly green, she obviously didn’t rest well. Qu Yan didn’t disturb her for a moment and quietly went to train.
When it was lunchtime, the five of them went to the cafeteria.
At the same time, many people came to the cafeteria, including Murong Bing.
Usually, at this time, the people beside him would definitely surround him. However, today, when everyone saw him; their gazes were evasive. When they saw him walking towards them, some people even deliberately moved their bowls and chopsticks away.
At this moment, Murong Bing suddenly understood what it meant to scatter like rats.
Although their Murong Family had yet to collapse, this feeling was already clear.
He pursed his lips. His face was no longer as arrogant as before. It could be seen that the corners of his body had been smoothed out.
He walked without looking sideways. No one gave up their seats for him when he passed by. When they met his gaze, they lowered their heads in a panic.
Murong Bing smiled self-deprecatingly and was about to leave when he realized that there were five different people in the corner.
The five of them seemed to have come together.
There were eight seats in a row, and there were three left. However, no one was sitting in those three.
Although they didn’t talk much, they chatted and laughed.
Murong Bing looked at the girl sitting in the middle. That person also looked up at her.
When those clear eyes looked over, Murong Bing felt like fleeing. Ever since he arrived at school—no matter who looked at him strangely, he had never felt this way.
However, at this moment, Murong Bing wanted to escape from such a clear gaze.
However, there was no strangeness in those eyes as Murong Bing imagined. Instead, they were as mild as always. On a closer look, one could even detect a hint of evil in those eyes.
“It’s you.” Qu Yan followed Su Huiqing’s gaze and also took a look. She saw Murong Bing at a glance and recalled that he was Murong Bai’s brother. Thus, she said, “No one is sitting. If you want to sit, feel free.”
Murong Bing wanted to leave, but after hearing this, he couldn’t move away and sat down.
The five people at the table didn’t look at him strangely. Yu Xiangyang and Long Xue even greeted him. They weren’t particularly warm, but it was no different from ten thousand yuan.
Murong Bing suddenly felt relieved.
Qu Yan was still chattering non-stop as she told Long Xue about her history in Green City. “Actually, during the third year of high school, our school received a few spots from Peking University. Do you know Peking University? It’s the most impressive school there, but I still didn’t go.”
Long Xue was curious. “Why?”
Qu Yan opened her mouth and was about to speak when Su Huiqing sneered. “On one hand, it’s because she doesn’t like the air in the capital. On the other hand, her name isn’t among the guaranteed spots.”
Long Xue almost spat out her food.
Murong Bing also reacted and wanted to laugh, but he held it in.
Qu Yan glanced at Su Huiqing and said expressionlessly, “Qingqing, I think it’s better if you don’t go back to school.”
“Where is Brother Murong recently?” Yu Xiangyang glanced at Qu Yan in disdain. That recommendation spot was obviously for Qingqing and Gu Li, but he didn’t say it out loud and just looked at Murong Bing.
Murong Bing never expected Yu Xiangyang to speak to him. “My brother? He should be back tomorrow.”
With such a major incident happening at home, the Murong Family Head informed Murong Bai last night.
“Alright.” Yu Xiangyang nodded. “It just so happens that I don’t need to make a trip. Tell him to look for me when he is free. Also, ask him to prepare things.”
“Ask him to look for you?” Murong Bing didn’t expect someone wanted to be associated with the Murong Family openly at this moment.
He really wanted to ask Yu Xiangyang: ‘Aren’t you afraid?’
Noticing that they were arguing again, he suddenly realized that it was not right to ask anything.
He took a bite of his rice and smiled.
He didn’t know why he was laughing.
However, he suddenly recalled that, when Su Xiao forced Su Huiqing, these few people didn’t seem to have any intention of retreating.
“Oh, right, Miss Su, I heard from my dad that you also participated in that competition.” Murong Bing suddenly thought of something. “I hope you can succeed. Also, Fu Meng wrote six potions. Recently, she has been practicing six potions. This is for the last competition. The potions one wrote have to be made in the competition.”
