Am I that popular?
Even Lin Zijin found it hard to believe.
She was already mentally prepared to meet her brother's friends, so she wasn't really nervous.
But she didn't expect them to like her so much.
Lin Zijin was very perceptive and could feel that they were sincere, and not just because of her brother.
This made her very happy, and she quickly got along with them. Even Shirō Makino was surprised by the speed at which they integrated with her.
With his current popularity in the team, it was normal for everyone to love him, but to say that they were so passionate about him … It would be too much of an exaggeration to say that they were all fangirls.
It could only be said that Sister Lin's charm was indeed great. Moreover, her group of companions were all too smart.
Time returned to when they returned from Baiyue City.
Liu created a group chat in private and sent a few messages to them.
Liu Zhiyuan: "Have you guys noticed that Xiao Bai seems to be a bit too happy these days?"
Shan Gu: "Huh? Really? I didn't notice! "
Ji Chae Yi: "Isn't he like that every day? He looks good even if he's expressionless. "
Si Yin: "Yeah, he looks good no matter what!"
Shan Gu: "Can you two be more careful?"
Ji Chae Yi: "Liu Zhiyuan, just say it, what do you mean?"
Liu Zhiyuan: "Xiao Bai is too good at hiding things. According to my analysis, he wouldn't be like this if he wasn't very happy about something."
Shan Gu: "We won the division championship, isn't it normal to be happy? Who wouldn't be happy? I'm happy too! "
Ji Chae Yi: "Now that you put it that way, it does make sense. Shan Gu, are you an idiot? With Xiao Bai's strength, what's so happy about winning the division championship? It'd be a miracle if he couldn't! "
Liu Zhiyuan: "Yeah, that's what I think too."
Shan Gu said, "Stop showing off your love here. Why are you showing off your love? Why are you analyzing Brother Bai's thoughts? Could it be that he found a girlfriend? "
Ji Chae Yi: "Didn't I tell you that Xiao Bai said he has a girlfriend in Ziyun?"
Shan Gu: "Did I?"
Ji Chae Yi: "You didn't tell me?"
Si Yin: "Did he?"
Shan Gu: "Brother Bai, this is obviously nonsense. How can you believe it? I even said that I have a spaceship full of girlfriends in the Blue Ocean Empire. Do you believe me? Moreover, he always keeps a respectful distance from the girls around him … He wishes he could soak in the sea of talismans all day long. What girlfriend could he possibly have? "
Ji Chae Yi: "I kind of believe it. Although Xiao Bai often spouts nonsense, I think this matter is quite reliable. Do you think it's possible that his girlfriend is coming soon? "
Shan Gu: "That's ridiculous!"
Liu Zhiyuan: "Let's not talk about whether it's ridiculous or not. Say, if one day Xiao Bai really brings a girl to see us, how should we treat her?"
Ji Chae Yi: "A warm welcome!"
Shan Gu: "Liu, why are you so bored?"
Liu Zhiyuan: "You don't understand. Xiao Bai's current state is similar to that of your Sister Chae Yi when she first agreed to pursue me."
Ji Chae Yi: (* ^ - ^ *)
Shan Gu: "You two are showing off your affection again!"
Si Yin: "Wow!"
Shan Gu: "Si Yin, what are you 'wow' for?"
Si Yin: "Nothing, nothing. I just saw a piece of news …"
Ji Chae Yi: "What news? Let's hear it."
Si Yin: "Brother Lin transferred from the First Academy's affiliated high school. No one knows where he went. Our group is in an uproar!"
Shan Gu: "Your group? You're in Brother Lin's fan group too? Which group are you in? Why haven't I seen you before? "
Si Yin: "I'm in the 136th group. I'm a founding member. Brother Shan Gu, are you also Brother Lin's fan?"
Shan Gu: "Of course! Of course I'm Brother Lin's fan. I've been his fan for many years. She's my dream girl! "
Si Yin: "Do you think Brother Lin is Brother Bai's girlfriend? Could it be that she transferred to our school? "
Ji Chae Yi: "Si Xiaoyin, what kind of wild imagination is that?"
Shan Gu: "Hahahaha, Si Yin, are you trying to make me laugh to death? It's true. This is the first time I've realized that your analytical skills are so strong. You're almost as good as Captain … "
A few bored guys started a small group behind Xiao Bai's back to discuss why Xiao Bai was so happy recently.
He didn't expect that they would stray from the topic and talk about Lin Zijin.
Then, they forgot about the original intention of Liu's group and started gossiping about Lin Zijin.
They talked happily and excitedly.
Shirō Makino was a super otaku who had always been a fan of others and barely paid attention to entertainment news. He had never even heard of Qin Ranran. Naturally, he couldn't understand why a group of equally outstanding boys and girls would pay so much attention to someone else.
Therefore, Xiao Bai couldn't figure out why a thick-browed guy like Liu would betray the organization.
In the end, the group unanimously said that if Xiao Bai really brought a girlfriend to show them one day, they must show 120% of their enthusiasm.
Because a girl who could catch Xiao Bai's eye must be outstanding!
But no one expected that the girl that Shirō Makino brought would be the super genius of Ziyun that they had been talking about — the cold and fierce beautiful girl, Lin Zijin!
Therefore, the moment Shan Gu saw Lin Zijin, he was completely stunned.
He couldn't believe that all of this was real.
They had been together for so long, but Brother Bai had never revealed anything about this.
However, when it came to the topic of girlfriends, Bai Muye always had a calm and collected look on his face.
It was as if he was calmly telling everyone: I have a girlfriend!
No one even believed that he had a girlfriend, so how could they believe that his girlfriend was Lin Zijin?
Even if Shirō Makino had told them directly, they wouldn't have believed it.
Not to mention Shan Gu, even Ol 'Liu, who was usually calm and collected, felt like he was in a magical world the moment he saw Lin Zijin.
This was not a dream coming true, this was a myth coming true!
How could Lin Zijin, a super beautiful girl with a great reputation in Ziyun, come to the Fairy Realm?
And how could she appear next to Xiao Bai?
Moreover, even a fool could see the attachment and joy in her eyes when she looked at Shirō Makino.
This was too unbelievable!
The few of them surrounded Lin Zijin and made a ruckus until noon.
It was only when Shirō Makino patted his stomach and complained that he was hungry that everyone calmed down a little.
The six of them surrounded the hotpot, each with a drink in front of them.
The hot pot was emitting hot steam and a rich aroma was wafting in the air.
Lin Zijin's face was flushed as she ate, and she said happily, "It's so delicious, I haven't had much of it before."
Shan Gu asked, "Brother Lin, is there no hotpot restaurant in Ziyun?"
Lin Zijin replied, "There is, but my grandmother doesn't allow me to eat outside, and … I still have to train."
When it came to training, everyone was worried. They had been like this since they were young.
Otherwise, how could they be so strong at such a young age?
Talent, money, and hard work would not have been able to achieve this.
Shan Gu looked at Shirō Makino, then at Lin Zijin, still feeling a little surreal. He could not help but ask, "Brother Bai, tell me, how did you meet Brother Lin?"
Ji Chae Yi said, "Yes, you two, one is in Ziyun, and the other is in the Fairy Realm. Previously, when Xiao Bai said he had a girlfriend in Ziyun, we thought he was joking."
"I have a good eye for talent!" Lin Zijin giggled and said, "I've seen your competition videos and found him to be exceptionally handsome. So, I started to like him. And then, I disregarded everything and chased after him. Hehe, aren't I being a little too proactive?"
Shan Gu gave her a look of disbelief. "I don't believe you!"
Shirō Makino put down his chopsticks and patted his stomach in satisfaction. He looked at Shan Gu and said, "How did you meet? Is it that important?"
Shan Gu laughed and said, "I'm curious! I don't believe they won't be curious! "
Ji Chae Yi said, "I'm not curious."
Liu Zhiyuan said, "I'm not curious."
Si Yin said, "Brother Lin is here, there's no need to be curious."
Shan Gu said, "Alright, you bunch of disloyal people!"
Lin Zijin smiled happily, then looked up at Shirō Makino. "Brother, can I say it?"
Shirō Makino thought for a moment, then nodded. "Say it."
The others immediately sat up straight.
Only Xiao Bai was still scooping out the meat and putting it on Lin Zijin's plate.
Shan Gu looked at the guys who sat up straight with disdain. Aren't you curious? Then why aren't you eating?
He angrily snatched a piece of yellow throat from Shirō Makino.
Shirō Makino: "…"
"I was joking just now, I … I've known brother since we were young."
Lin Zijin smiled and said softly, "At that time, I was about two and a half years old, not even three. Brother was three years older than me, about five or six years old. My favorite thing to do was to stick to him every day. Wherever he went, I would follow him. You guys don't know how much he despised me at that time. "
Shirō Makino glanced at her. "Nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense, that's right!" Lin Zijin pouted. "There were a few times when you abandoned me and ran away by yourself!"
Ji Chae Yi said in surprise, "There's … such a story between you two?"
Si Yin said, "Brother Bai is bad."
"Who would remember such a small thing? Don't listen to her nonsense. "Shirō Makino pursed his lips and reached out to ruffle Lin Zijin's hair.
Lin Zijin made a funny face at him.
Shan Gu looked aggrieved. "Brother, sister-in-law, stop showing off … Take care of the single dog, sister-in-law, hurry up and continue!"
Heh, not Brother Lin, but sister-in-law? This child's EQ is not bad, he'll have a bright future!
Lin Zijin looked at Shan Gu with satisfaction and said, "Later on, when I was eight and brother was eleven, someone wanted to take me away, they even said they wanted me to marry someone else. I was terrified and went to find brother, telling him that I wanted to marry you in the future, I wouldn't marry anyone else. Then my brother was moved, and he eloped with me! "
The others: "…"
Shan Gu said, "Sister-in-law, can you be more careful when you make up stories? The first part is fine, but what the hell is the second part? "
Shirō Makino was speechless. It was clearly a thrilling escape from an island, but Lin Zijin made it sound like a child eloping. What a talent.
"Don't listen to her nonsense, it's like this …" Shirō Makino put down his chopsticks and fell into memory.
The events that happened that year seemed to have happened just yesterday.
Shirō Makino could even recall every frame of the scene easily.
Facing these companions who had gone through thick and thin with him, he had actually wanted to tell them about his background, but there had never been a suitable opportunity.
Now that Lin Zijin was here, and Liu was about to leave. Especially when Liu went to the First Academy of Ziyun this time, it was very likely that Emperor Qi's people had done something good.
Therefore, there was a need to let him know some things.
As his best brother, he had to let Liu know that even if he was on Emperor Qi's blacklist, he still had the ability to protect himself.
Although he was currently weak, he still had the confidence to face the illusory and lofty hidden clan, the Bai family, without the need for that illusory and lofty hidden clan.
The room was completely silent, and only Shirō Makino's calm voice could be heard.
In the end, Bai Muye told his companions everything, except for the fact that he was a Grand Master and that he couldn't tell them about Xiahou Ming and Zhao Lu, which he didn't want to share with them.
The Grandmaster was his biggest reliance now!
This was the main reason why Emperor Qi had temporarily given up on suppressing him.
He was not afraid that Liu would change one day and betray him. However, he did not want to test and test human nature. Moreover, he was afraid that Liu's memory would be read!
With Liu's ability that far exceeded Zhao Qiang's, as long as he graduated from the First Academy, he would definitely be fought over.
Shirō Makino believed that if Liu really entered Emperor Qi's camp, he would quickly stand out.
When that time came, those in Emperor Qi's camp would not be completely at ease with a former teammate of Shirō Makino. It was very likely that he would be strictly investigated.
Including memory reading.
The act of reading one's memories was inconceivable to ordinary people, but it wasn't too difficult for formidable grandmaster-level Talisman Masters or top-notch high-tech instruments.
What would happen if Liu knew too much?
If he had no ulterior motives, there was no reason to refuse.
Once he refused, all his previous efforts would go down the drain in a single night.
His personal safety would be difficult to guarantee!
Therefore, it was best to keep some trump cards in one's own hands. This way, it would be safe and responsible for both oneself and others.
By the time he had finished speaking, everyone except Lin Zijin was in a daze.
"So, Brother Bai, even though you're not a prince, your status … isn't any lower than a prince's, right? A super hidden family that established a force with the ancestors of the royal family … Damn, Brother Bai, you are really awesome! What a thick thigh, please accept my respect! "Although Shan Gu was joking, the shock in his eyes could not be concealed.
"Your mortal enemy is actually King Qi … Brother, you're really too awesome!" Liu could not help but scratch his head and smiled bitterly. "If I knew this, I really … I wouldn't have gone to the First Academy."
Shirō Makino looked at Liu Zhiyuan and said, "I'm sorry …"
Liu Zhiyuan shook his head. "We are brothers, don't say that. It is not your fault."
Shan Gu said, "I find it hard to believe that such a high ranking prince could not get along with a child. We must perform better in the future and join the Empire's army. Yes, join General Sun's Seventh Army! Even if he is a prince, he can't do anything to us! "
Ji Chae Yi nodded. "Xiao Bai's problems are our problems. Shan Gu is right. Even if he is a high and mighty prince, he cannot do whatever he wants. In this world, there must be someone who can keep him in check. "
Lin Zijin looked at Liu Zhiyuan and smiled. "Actually, it is not a bad idea to go to The First Academy. Moreover, you have been specially recruited by The First Academy. Even if those people have done anything, they must have done it secretly. Therefore, there is still a choice if you want to join their camp. "
Liu Zhiyuan nodded. "I will join!"
He looked at Shirō Makino and asked seriously, "Emperor Qi should know what you have said today, right?"
Shirō Makino nodded.
"That's good. I am not afraid of them searching my soul and reading my memories!" Liu Zhiyuan chuckled and said, "I'll join them and quickly raise my status. Only in this way will I be able to understand their layout and understand more about them. Against such a powerful enemy, the best way is to infiltrate their ranks! "
Lin Zijin did not understand Liu Zhiyuan very well. However, she was smart enough not to give any suggestions. She believed that her brother must have considered it before he dared to reveal his background to these people.
Ji Chae Yi looked at Liu Zhiyuan and said seriously, "Xiao Bai just said that Emperor Qi will not do anything to him in the near future. Therefore, if possible, I still hope that you can embark on your official career in a dignified manner. "
Liu Zhiyuan shook his head. "Chae Yi, things are not as simple as you think. There are many reasons why Emperor Qi is not targeting Xiao Bai now. Firstly, he does not have time to deal with him. Secondly, he feels that Xiao Bai has been crippled by him and will not grow into a real threat. Lastly, the most important reason is that His Majesty has spoken. As long as he does not want to rebel, he will not openly disobey His Majesty.
"However, he will never let down his guard against Xiao Bai. Moreover, he has too many talents under him. He does not need to worry about anything. There will be countless people who will do all sorts of things for him.
"I even suspect that King Qi doesn't know that I was specially recruited into The First Academy!"
"We will carry out all sorts of arrangements. How can Emperor Qi's camp, which has a huge amount of resources, not do so in advance?
"Therefore, to truly understand these things, the best way is to join them."
Liu Zhiyuan smiled and looked at everyone. "Do not worry about me. Do not think that my life has changed because of Xiao Bai. It is not like that. Other than Brother Lin … cough cough, other than our sister-in-law, everyone should know me better. My dream is not to climb high in my official career. It is to use my brain, which I am good at and enjoy. "
Ji Chae Yi glanced at him. Even at this time, he still refused to admit that he was risking his life for his brother.
She was indeed worried, but she also had a strong sense of pride. This is the person that I, Ji Chae Yi, like!
