Skeleton Elf
Chapter 198 It's All Zuo Xiaotang's Fault
"No wonder, boss, I discovered something strange. You and Aofei call him Second Brother, but Chen Ang and Mo Yu call him Brother Li?" Mill Three Men had a flash of inspiration.
"Tch, that's obvious. Those two aren't qualified yet." Robbie's lips curled into an arc. "Alright, don't delve too deeply into this. Train hard and don't miss this precious opportunity!"
Mill Three Men and the others returned. Although they were full of questions, strength trumped everything. Just how strong was someone who could help their captain reach the Burning Will?
Aofei and Ditta didn't fight. Zhou Nanyi still mediated. After all, this was an exchange match between teams. If they fought over a trivial matter, no matter who won or lost, the atmosphere would change and they wouldn't be able to continue.
They thought Li Hao would return first, but it was Mill Three Men and the others who came back.
"Captain Nanyi, everyone, we were rude just now. We're very sorry. The captain is fine now. We did damage the training ground, and the Cougars will bear all the losses." Mill Three Men sincerely apologized.
Except for Aofei, Chen Ang, and Mo Yu, the others were dumbfounded. However, the Cougars' team members had smiles on their faces that they couldn't hide. This definitely wasn't a loss, but rather a huge gain.
Chen Ang and Mo Yu both saw the envy in each other's eyes. With such a big commotion, the reward must be huge.
"Captain Sannan is too polite. The principal said that everyone should just train freely. Tianjing will handle any problems!" Zhou Nanyi said with a smile. Aside from Li Hao, who else could make the Cougars compensate them?
Alz and the others were a little disappointed. They had been hoping for a showdown, but it turned out to be a happy gathering.
"Then let's continue."
"Let's wait for Captain Li Hao." Mill Three Men said respectfully. The other team members also became serious at the mention of Li Hao's name.
The atmosphere became strange again.
Aofei waved her hand. "No need to wait for him. We can just proceed as usual."
With the misunderstanding cleared, everything returned to normal.
However, Li Hao was troubled. He was wandering around the campus. He had just received a message from the dean saying that he didn't need to bring Ditta. They should train hard and prepare well.
This was clearly a case of overthinking. The dean probably thought that he was afraid of exposing his orphan status and that he didn't want to bring Ditta because he was afraid that she would think he had a bad background, which would affect their relationship, etc. It was a typical case of watching too many dramas.
The key was that he couldn't explain it. The more he explained, the more complicated it would become. The older generation was also prone to misinterpreting things.
It was all Zuo Xiaotang's fault!
He who tied the bell must untie it.
After wandering around for a while, Li Hao felt that he still had to make a deal with Ditta.
Ditta was also surprised when she received a message from Li Hao. He actually wanted to meet her???
Then, Ditta calmly made an excuse and left under Aofei's strange gaze.
In a relatively secluded corner by the campus lake, Ditta saw the sneaky Li Hao and tidied her hair.
"Li Hao, what are you hiding here for?"
Li Hao looked around. "I'm just afraid of being misunderstood."
Ditta couldn't help but look at the sometimes particularly idiotic Li Hao. "It's hard for people not to misunderstand in a place like this."
"Then should we change places?" Li Hao said awkwardly. He didn't have much experience with this kind of thing.
"I'm already here, so let's just stay here. Get to the point." Ditta said calmly.
"Cough, cough, the thing is, my younger brothers and sisters want to meet you. It's nothing else, just a meeting." Li Hao said.
"Younger brothers and sisters…?" Ditta was stunned.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. I grew up in an orphanage, so it's the children from the orphanage."
Ditta looked at Li Hao and was silent for a while. "Why do they want to meet me?"
Li Hao had already prepared a reason, racking his brains to come up with it. "They've never seen a Moon person and want to see one."
After saying that, Li Hao felt like a genius.
Ditta wanted to kick this idiot in front of her. Was she an animal?!
But she felt that this shouldn't be the reason. Looking at his hesitation, there were probably other reasons, but that didn't matter. Ditta also wanted to learn more about Li Hao and help Ayouyou assess him.
"Oh, right, haven't you bought pizza for the orphanage a few times? Everyone wants to thank you!" Li Hao finally added another reason, but Ditta still looked at him strangely.
"Is it difficult?" Li Hao asked when he saw that Ditta was still silent.
"Captain Li Hao, it is indeed quite troublesome. After all, I'm the captain of Tianxing, so I have to consider the feelings of my team members. We didn't come to Tianjing from the moon to play, right?"
Li Hao nodded.
"Of course, I'm just too soft-hearted. If you tell me what happened between you and Robbie, I'll go with you." Ditta threw out her condition.
"Of course, no problem!" Li Hao smiled. Ditta was indeed a good person. "We were just sparring, and then he damaged the training ground. Then he used too much force and got injured!"
Ditta's beautiful eyes stared at Li Hao. "That's it? Do you think I believe that?"
"I swear, it was definitely Robbie. It's all his fault!"
"Okay, then let me put it another way. Did he break through the first stage of the Golden Zone, the Red Eye?"
"Are you saying he was glowing all over?"
Hearing this, Ditta's heart skipped a beat. This was bad. She knew Robbie's progress. It had been very slow, and the awakening of the Golden Zone was also very slow. This meant that USE's progress was also behind NUP. She felt that she was only a hair's breadth away. The Battoujutsu was one aspect, but it wasn't really suitable for her. Instead, she wanted to change her approach to see if she could stimulate her spirituality.
So… Robbie had overtaken her?
"How did he do it?" Ditta took a deep breath and asked the key question.
"We were just sparring. He was fine just now. But as we were fighting, that guy went crazy. I don't know what happened, but he started howling and destroying public property. The principal is very angry about it!" Li Hao was also very angry.
Ditta didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Was this guy really stupid or just pretending? But it was certain that Robbie, the lucky guy, had actually entered the Burning Will ahead of time.
This was a bit troublesome, but with insufficient accumulation, his realm might not be stable. She didn't need to worry too much.
"Tomorrow, together." Ditta said and left.
Li Hao also breathed a sigh of relief. The children would definitely be very happy. Shouldn't normal people bring gifts when they visit?
Ditta was very rich and a very nice person. And Moon people were generally polite…
On Sunday, the four teams rested for the day. Everyone could visit Tianjing or train on their own.
Li Hao was already waiting for Ditta at the entrance. Ditta had gotten up early and spent more than an hour carefully dressing up. She had carefully selected everything from her clothes to her accessories. It couldn't be too exaggerated, but it had to be appropriate and have her own characteristics.
Li Hao had been sizing up Ditta from afar. Ditta also felt it. Her efforts hadn't been in vain.
Li Hao sighed silently. Alas, he had been overthinking it.
Ditta sensed that Li Hao seemed a little disappointed and opened her fair hand. "What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
"No, it's fine. Come on, get in the car!"
Ditta looked at the old motorcycle. "Is this your 'Mission Accomplished' chariot?"
Li Hao patted it. "My comrade 567."
The electric donkey's number was 567.
The two got in the car, and Ditta hugged Li Hao's waist.
"Don't worry, my skills are very good. You won't fall off."
"What's the panic? Am I going to take advantage of you!" Ditta rolled her eyes. "Stop talking nonsense and drive!"
Boom…
The electric donkey started moving. Li Hao's body was still very stiff. He didn't bring Zuo Xiaotang this time. One reason was that there was no place to sit, and the other reason was that it was all Zuo Xiaotang's fault!
Zuo Xiaotang sneezed a few times in the dormitory. He had to quickly catch up on his studies during this rare vacation. As the leader of the Tianjing fan club, he had been missing for a long time. Chatting with his brothers was the most stress-relieving thing.
Alz wasn't idle either. Since he had come to Tianjing, he couldn't just train. As a well-known playboy of Tianxing, how could he be idle?
In this world, only beauty and wine couldn't be let down.
In the dormitory, Lu Ying was also carefully dressing up. She had to use some scheming makeup to deal with Moon people.
"Lu Ying, who are you targeting today? You're putting in so much effort?" Lu Lingxiao said with a smile. "What are you all doing today?"
"I'm accompanying Teacher Ma for training," Sheng Man said.
"Sheng Man, how long has it been since you went shopping? This isn't like you."
"Teacher Ma is working hard, so I can't hold him back." Sheng Man smiled. "Ziyuan, where are you going?"
"The training room. I'm creating an analysis chart of the various teams' abilities. It's a bit of a hassle. Lingxiao, will you come with me?"
Lu Lingxiao quickly waved her hand and stuck out her tongue. "Although there are handsome guys, I have an activity to attend today. Ziyuan, why don't you rest today? Let's go together."
"There are too many things to do for the team. We can't be short of people." Tan Ziyuan shook her head. If she didn't do it, Zhou Nanyi would have to do it all. Now that Zhou Nanyi was also at a crucial stage, she was already too far behind compared to other top teams as the team's second-in-command.
Tianjing was happy about the arrival of the three major teams. It was lively and prestigious, but what Tan Ziyuan saw was the huge gap. Relying on Li Hao alone wouldn't get them far.
In the team's training room, Zhou Nanyi and Aofei had arrived early. The two had already completed a round of morning training. Aofei had taken the initiative to invite her.
Zhou Nanyi handed Aofei a cup of coffee. Aofei picked up the exquisite cup and smelled the aroma of the coffee. It was truly refreshing to have a cup after morning training.
"Nanyi, how do you feel about the training these past few days?" Aofei took a sip. The rich fragrance entered her throat, which was very comfortable.
"Ziyuan blended these coffee beans. The taste is good, right?"
"Very good."
Zhou Nanyi also took a sip and looked at Aofei. "The gap. There's a very big gap. Frankly speaking, I'm a little lost."
"It's normal to be lost. Everyone goes through this process. I was like this, and so was Robbie. But at least you're clear-headed. The current Tianjing is only barely qualified to participate in the S-level competition. Without Second Brother, it's not as good as last year. Your former captain may have been a coward, but his strategies and tactics were correct." Aofei said. Sometimes, being able to recognize yourself wasn't mediocrity.
Zhou Nanyi nodded. After these few months of growth, Zhou Nanyi also felt that people's vision and cognition were really too important. Otherwise, it would be like playing the lute to a cow.
"Senior Sister, what should we do?" Zhou Nanyi said seriously. She could feel that Aofei was very friendly to them. This kind of proactive heart-to-heart talk must be to help them. At this time, she shouldn't care about face.
