Join the Society
"Xue Mo, this is the academy. How dare you ….."
This was Skyspan Academy's territory, and it was forbidden for students to engage in private fights within the academy grounds.
But the moment Xue Mo unsealed her sword, Sun Jialing was truly terrified.
"I don't dare? Why wouldn't I dare? "
Xue Mo's lips curled into a cold smile. Her scarlet eyes seemed even more dazzling than the pure white of the snow.
She flipped her right hand, and the sword screeched.
In the blink of an eye, Xue Mo became one with the sword. With unstoppable momentum, she stabbed viciously at Sun Jialing's chest.
It was clear that Xue Mo wasn't just trying to scare Sun Jialing. She really wanted to kill her.
"Xue Mo!"
As Sun Jialing screamed, countless defensive talismans appeared in front of her.
At this time, Sun Jialing was crazily throwing these expensive defensive charms as if they were free.
But against Xue Mo and her sword, these talismans were as fragile as paper.
When the final talisman shattered, when the talismans in her ring ran out, all Sun Jialing could see was her and her sword.
Her face was grim, and her sword was cold.
"No ….."
Sun Jialing closed her eyes and leaned her hand forward. At that moment, a bolt of lightning flashed across the crowd's field of vision.
There was a ding.
Both Xue Mo and her sword froze in place. Lightning crackled along the blade of her sword, and her hand felt a little numb.
"Pang Zheng, are you trying to stick your nose in someone else's business?"
At that moment, the onlookers turned to look at the bolt of lightning.
A smiling, white-robed young man appeared ten meters away. He was over six feet tall and had long hair. He carried Sun Jialing in his arms.
This was the leader of the Grizzly Bear Society, and one of Skyspan Academy's strongest students. He was half a step into the diviner realm …..
Pang Zheng.
Patting Sun Jialing's shoulder lightly, Pang Zheng let go of her and chuckled.
"The academy forbids private fights. I'm doing this for Society Leader Xue's sake. Besides, Sun Jialing is the leader of our society. If she's in danger, as the society leader, it's only right for me to step in. "
"She's the one with the nasty mouth. She deserves to die," scolded Xue Mo, her eyes like snow.
"I sincerely apologize for my member's rashness. When we return to the club, I will punish her properly. I will definitely make her remember the pain of her slip of the tongue. Today is the day of the academy's recruitment, and it wouldn't be good for anyone if blood was spilled. Why don't we put this matter behind us? I'll personally pay you a visit a few days later to apologize. I hope that President Xue can give me face. "
Pang Zheng maintained a smile as he spoke. This kind of humble and courteous tone that made others feel like they were bathing in a cool breeze won the favor of both the old and new students.
It wasn't until Chen Guangfa leaned over and whispered a few words into her ear that she calmly sealed her sword back into the plum blossom seal. She glanced at Sun Jialing and Pang Zheng with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
"Alright, since Pang Zheng is here today, I'll spare your lowly life. If you dare say something like that again, not even the headmaster can save you. I, Xue Mo, am a man of my word. Also, the bet between you and me will proceed as planned. "
With a snort, Xue Mo glanced at Ye Zichen.
"Come with me."
The onlookers parted to let them leave. Just now, they'd been on the verge of a fight. If Pang Zheng hadn't arrived, Sun Jialing really might have died there and then.
Even after Xue Mo and the others left, Sun Jialing's expression was one of lingering fear.
"Cousin."
"In the future, learn to use your brains. Don't bring up what happened all those years ago. You were lucky that I saved you this time. If you provoke her again, forget about the headmaster, not even your father will be able to save you. "
"She …."
"Don't ask about things you shouldn't know. I have other matters to attend to. You …. Behave yourself."
Pang Zheng glanced at Xue Mo. Others might not know what that plum blossom represented, but he did.
"The power of her bloodline! No wonder!"
…..
"Wait, why should I go with you?"
Ye Zichen didn't know why, but he obediently followed Xue Mo. When they reached an ancient manor, he couldn't help but ask.
"Don't tell me you don't know why you're following us?"
Xue Mo stopped in front of him. With a wave of her hand, a crystal card appeared in her palm.
When he saw it, Ye Zichen's pupils constricted. He reached out and grabbed it.
Along the way, Xue Mo put it away. Ye Zichen furrowed his brows.
"That's my crystal card. Hurry up and give it to me."
"So you know it's your card?" Xue Mo rolled her eyes at Ye Zichen, then continued walking.
Since the crystal card was in her hands, there was nothing Ye Zichen could do, so he could only follow her.
When they reached a lotus pond, Xue Mo stopped.
"Your crystal card is so important, yet you lost it. Fortunately, a kind-hearted person like me found it. If it weren't for you …. You'd be dead. "
She tapped the card on Ye Zichen's head. Just as he was about to reach out and snatch it back, Xue Mo put it away.
"Do you want your crystal card back?"
Ye Zichen frowned. "Hurry up and give it to me."
When she saw Ye Zichen's angry expression, Xue Mo smiled faintly and fiddled with the card.
"If you want to go back, it's simple. Just join the team."
"Fine, fine, fine! I'll join! Hurry up and give me the card. I'll go sign up right now. Once I sign up, I'll join your team, okay? "
"I've already taken care of everything for you. Guangfa …."
As Xue Mo called out to him, the burly Chen Guangfa dashed over like a wisp of smoke, a sheet of golden paper in his hands.
He placed it in front of Ye Zichen. To his astonishment, it was an application to join the team.
"Use your blood essence to write your name on this. That means you've successfully joined. Once you've succeeded, I'll naturally return this crystal card to you."
So formal!
Joining the team required blood essence. There was clearly some sort of contract involved.
If he'd joined any other team, he wouldn't have cared. In any case, he had the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, so he didn't really care about resources.
What he cared about was the team's name.
Anti-Upheaval!
He'd founded his own gang, Upheaval. This team was called Anti-Upheaval. Didn't that mean he wanted to wipe out their gang?
Ye Zichen inwardly refused, but his gaze darkened. He viciously slapped the paper into Chen Guangfa's hands.
"I'm joining. Give me the crystal card."
Ye Zichen looked at the golden paper and saw that Ye Zichen had used his blood essence to write his name.
"Here, you can have it."
He flicked the card back into Ye Zichen's hands.
Xue Mo stretched lazily, then patted Ye Zichen on the shoulder.
"I'll be counting on you to recruit new members."
"You're overthinking things." Ye Zichen sat by the lotus pond like a lord, but Xue Mo didn't seem to mind at all. "That's fine. If you don't recruit new members, just wait for the wrath of the heavens."
Before she'd even finished speaking, Xue Mo gestured for Chen Guangfa to hand over the application.
"Look at the very bottom."
Ye Zichen accepted the paper suspiciously, then read the last line.
There was nothing particularly strange about it.
"Look carefully. The very bottom, the very bottom."
As if she knew what he was thinking, Xue Mo reminded him.
Ye Zichen focused his gaze on the bottom of the paper. Only then did he realize that there was a line of tiny, almost indiscernible words.
