“Master, is there a way to resolve this calamity?” Jiang Xiao looked at Hai Tianqing's strange expression and asked.

Hai Tianqing thought about it again and again, and finally shook his head: “No solution.”

“This is outrageous! In broad daylight, in a bright and just world, I, Jiang Xiao, am actually intimidated and robbed by a big cat!” Jiang Xiao said indignantly, “Is there no justice!? Is there no law!?”

“Did you change your name yourself? Jiang Xiao?” Hai Tianqing asked curiously, “Er Wei calls you that too.”

“Uh…” Jiang Xiao smacked his lips, “The name my family gave me was too casual. I’m planning to find an opportunity to change my name. What do you think about using entering college as an opportunity?”

“If you really want to go to school, then you have to be the best of the best.” Hai Tianqing gave a suggestion that wasn't really a solution, “Get more higher education institutions to notice you.”

Jiang Xiao was noncommittal and asked, “What do you think about this? A Star Gathering Phase newbie joining the Night Watchers team?”

Hai Tianqing raised his eyes to look out the window, and after a long silence, said, “What she values in you isn't your strength, but your potential and character.”

“How so?” Jiang Xiao raised an eyebrow.

“She likes the way you handle problems, from the choices in a battle to the details in a fight.” Hai Tianqing sighed softly, “She also saw qualities in you that ordinary people don't have, your attitude towards life, your attitude towards comrades.”

“People always see what they want to see.” Jiang Xiao shook his head, “Everything was just a coincidence. I'm not as good as she imagines.”

Hai Tianqing was stunned, never having thought that a child would say such a thing.

“She should be most satisfied with me risking my life to guard her ‘corpse,’ healing her, and pulling her back from hell.” Jiang Xiao said rather helplessly, “But if I didn't guard her, where else could I go? If I didn't save her, how could I have walked out of the snowfield alive?”

Hai Tianqing said, “You think you only had one path to choose, but in other people's eyes, you had a million paths to choose. These few sentences are not reasons. If you really want to persuade her to give up, don't use these sentences.”

Jiang Xiao pursed his lips, hesitated for a long time, and said, “Do you think I should follow her? Join the Night Watch Legion?”

Hai Tianqing still had feelings for his former team, and said, “Yi Wei, Er Wei, they really need qualified teammates.”

Jiang Xiao looked at Hai Tianqing, knowing that he was once Si Wei, and said, “Why were you fired?”

Hai Tianqing smiled, with a hint of bitterness, and did not respond.

Jiang Xiao changed the subject and asked, “Tell me about San Wei.”

Hai Tianqing asked curiously, “Why are you interested in a person who has never appeared in your life?”

Jiang Xiao shrugged, “I can see that you have deep feelings for this team, and you subjectively want me to join the Night Watch Legion, so I should learn more about this team. You won't talk about your situation, so I'll ask about San Wei.”

Hai Tianqing silently looked at Jiang Xiao, and finally sighed, without responding.

Jiang Xiao said, “What? Is there something you can't say? Seeing that Er Wei can coexist peacefully with you, I can guess that San Wei is the one who betrayed the team.”

Hai Tianqing: “Hmm?”

“Er Wei’s desire for loyalty is beyond ordinary people, maybe it's already pathological.” Jiang Xiao shrugged, “Pathological to the point of wanting a high school student to join the Night Watch Legion, one of the top teams in China. That's just a fantasy.”

Hai Tianqing: “You won't be given the identity of a Night Watcher. She's just taking you as a disciple. You'll start as an apprentice.”

Jiang Xiao said, “So you acquiesced.”

“In a way, it's a betrayal.” Hai Tianqing looked at the scenery outside the window, the eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses were slightly blurred, as if he was lost in memories.

“The Night Watchers and the Light Chasers are, after all, national troops with strict discipline. San Wei was a very opinionated person and made what she thought was the right decision.” Hai Tianqing's smile was tinged with bitterness.

“Later, during the investigation, I also left the Light Chasers.” Hai Tianqing said lightly.

“You didn't disobey military orders, but you chose to support her during the subsequent responsibility investigation?” Jiang Xiao asked curiously.

Hai Tianqing nodded, then shook his head, and didn't speak.

Jiang Xiao asked curiously, “How big of a mistake did she make?”

Hai Tianqing: “She…”

Hai Tianqing pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, sorted out his emotions, patted Jiang Xiao's shoulder with one hand, ended the topic, and said with a smile, “Er Wei's real name is Luan Hongying, remember it.”

Uh…

This way of changing the subject is really stiff. However, since Teacher Hai didn't want to mention it again, Jiang Xiao couldn't ask any more questions.

“Er Wei did tell me once, but her voice was too hoarse, I didn't hear it clearly, and I didn't dare to ask…” Jiang Xiao said weakly, “Can you say her name again?”

“Ning Chou Luan Bao, Gan Dou Li Rong—Luan.” Hai Tianqing looked at Jiang Xiao speechlessly, “Today Hongying is in hand, when will the Azure Dragon be bound—Hongying.”

Jiang Xiao scratched his head, “Luan Hongying, uh… I’ll still call her Er Wei. This name is scary just to hear…”

“Her personality is indeed a bit extreme, and her behavior is a bit radical.” Hai Tianqing smiled, “After you meet her, if you encounter any accidents, call her real name, it can make her a little more sober.”

Jiang Xiao panicked, what does this mean?

He couldn't bother to get to the bottom of San Wei anymore. Listening to Hai Tianqing's meaning, Er Wei was going to come to him soon?

“It's been more than a month since you came back from the snowfield, have you been studying spoken foreign languages?” Hai Tianqing continued to ask.

Jiang Xiao's Adam's apple wriggled for a while,

Oh my god,

Something is really going to happen!

“Let's go, go back, I really have something to announce to your team today.” Hai Tianqing put his arm around Jiang Xiao's shoulder and walked towards the training room, while secretly instructing, “You should still take some time to practice your spoken language, it will be beneficial to you in every way.”

Jiang Xiao: “……”

“You guys stop for a moment.” Hai Tianqing brought Jiang Xiao back to the training room again, looked at the other three students, and said.

Xia Yan and the others stopped training and turned their heads to look at Hai Tianqing.

“The higher-ups have high expectations for our Jiangbin No. 1 High School team, and they don't want us to be at the bottom of the rankings like last year.” Hai Tianqing said.

Han Jiangxue said lightly, “Teacher Hai is referring to the National High School League?”

Hai Tianqing nodded: “Yes, it's the National High School League.”

Xia Yan sneered and said, “We haven't even passed the provincial league yet, and we're already talking about the national league? Isn't that too early?”

“No.” Hai Tianqing shook his head and said, “It's not too early. As far as the information we have now, your team is considered relatively outstanding in the high school range of Beijiang Province.”

“You have a reasonable professional configuration, excellent command, and relatively excellent team strength.” Hai Tianqing motioned everyone not to be self-effacing, “I believe your goal is not only the 10 points from the Beijiang Provincial competition, but also the 20 points from the National League.”

“Even…” Hai Tianqing glanced at everyone and said, “If your team's performance is exceptionally dazzling, it is possible to be exempted from the college entrance examination. Maybe you will be favored by some colleges and directly specially recruited, or you may contact Jiangbin No. 1 High School to distribute guaranteed admission places.”

“These are all things that can happen.” Hai Tianqing looked at the four children in front of him with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

A loyal and fearless shield warrior.

A swift and fierce blade warrior.

A calm and intelligent powerful magic command.

And a seemingly mischievous, but exceptionally reliable poison healer.

Such a team lineup can be described as perfect.

Anyone who is kind would not want to break up such a team.

Hai Tianqing was once most worried about that mischievous Jiang Xiao, but the trip to the snowfield made Hai Tianqing look at him with new eyes.

The facts are here, and the results are here.

No matter how frivolous and naughty this child seems, in the snowfield, he truly experienced the test of life and death, and led people out with his practical actions time after time.

This is a child who is good at creating miracles. Behind every unexpected behavior is his powerful heart.

Physical weakness is never a sin, but spiritual weakness is.

“The school will focus on training 3 teams, and your team is considered to be internally determined.” Hai Tianqing looked at the children and said, “There are still more than two months before the provincial league. In these two months, the school will organize you to go to the armory for training, to familiarize yourself with the other-dimensional creatures there, their habits, combat characteristics and methods.”

But Jiang Xiao sighed secretly in his heart: The real purpose is probably to let us overcome our psychological barriers and get used to how to "kill people."
