Chapter 161: Ghost in the Magic World - Beginning (7)

Then again, who else would be willing to team up with Shang Kui?

The Shang Family Head knew very well that his daughter’s reputation in Magic A City was not very good. But he never thought of helping her out of this predicament because he himself felt that the rumors were true.

Shang Kui is useless.

If she had been better, the Shang Family Head would not be so conflicted and jealous of other families who have reliable heirs or heiress.

"Up to you." Shang Family Head only glanced at Shang Kui once more before he turned around and left, not paying attention to this so called daughter anymore.

Xiang Kui watched Shang Family Head’s back as he left and there was a trace of coldness in her eyes that she quickly suppressed. She knew very well that it would be impossible for Shang Kui to ask for anything important from the Shang Family Head.

Her status in the Shang Family was nothing more than the ’princess of the Shang Family.’

It might seem glorious, but she has nothing.

No power, no respect, and more importantly, no real decision making right. What the Shang Family Head wanted was to keep her in the Shang Family as nothing more than decoration.

Right now, the Shang Family Head never hoped for Shang Kui to become much more powerful and become the future heiress.

All he wanted was for Shang Kui to stop being so useless and become a bit more normal.

Xiang Kui could faintly sense it.

That’s why she felt that the Shang Family Head might be a good leader for the Shang Family, but he’s definitely not a good father for Shang Kui.

...

Jun Lin’s side.

While Xiang Kui went to shop around and spent her money like water, Jun Lin was not idle as he went to meet with Duan Rong Yu.

Duan Rong Yu was training in the Duan Family’s training ground.

But he had already instructed the servants and other members of the Duan Family that if Jun Lin came to visit, they would allow him to enter. Of course, Jun Lin knew his status was not good and would not come to find Duan Rong Yu arbitrarily.

There was truly no need for him to meet with the other party all the time.

"Hmm, Jun Lin come?" Duan Rong Yu heard the servant’s words and raised his head with excitement. But when he saw the bruises on Jun Lin’s face, his smile disappeared in an instant.

"Duan Rong Yu," Jun Lin called out.

"Who beat you up?" Duan Rong Yu asked with a frown.

Whenever he saw Jun Lin, the other party has always been covered in various injuries, making Duan Rong Yu felt headache.

But Duan Rong Yu also knew that it was impossible to stop these people.

Jun Lin’s own embarrassing status made it difficult for most people to accept him as part of the ordinary citizen.

The Jun Family themselves loved to bully him so much.

Because in their opinion, Jun Lin’s existence is a disgrace for the entire Jun Family.

"It doesn’t matter. I have already solved them." Jun Lin shook his head. He didn’t come here to report his grievances with Duan Rong Yu.

Besides, he’s a man and being a man also meant that he could be tougher when facing others.

This is just skin injuries.

On the road as a magician, who would not get hurt?

"You... fine, whatever." Duan Rong Yu didn’t insist as he pulled the chair for them to sit together while waving his hand to dismiss the servants. He always disliked having other people around when he talked with Jun Lin.

Because these people made the scenery looked bad.

"It’s almost graduation exam," Jun Lin started.

"Hmm? Yeah, I know that and I have seen that many people don’t want to team up with me." Duan Rong Yu sneered.

Even though Duan Rong Yu and Bing Hong Xiang were both the number one and two interchangeably, Bing Hong Xiang was more popular than Duan Rong Yu. It might be related to their family background too.

Most of the time, Duan Rong Yu and Bing Hong Xiang would not care about it.

But this time....

It’s a bit tricky.

They needed to form a team of three to five people in order to complete their practical exam. If possible, they should also pick someone who have different position from them in their magic.

For example, one person use offense type of magic and then the other would use defense type, and the last one would be the support type of magic.

In this way, they could cover up for each other.

Duan Rong Yu was great at offense.

On the other hand, Jun Lin himself was good at offense and defense. Coupled with his strengthening magic, it would not be a problem for him to cooperate for both side.

But it was not enough to only have two people in a team.

So Duan Rong Yu was thinking of inviting others.

But most other students were unwilling to team up with Duan Rong Yu and many of them just wanted to be Bing Hong Xiang’s teammate. It was said that Bing Hong Xiang would also team up with Shang Xiyue.

The combination of Bing Hong Xiang and Shang Xiyue made even more people wanted to rush over and team up with them.

Unfortunately, there were only three other slots available.

The competition was fierce.

And during this period of time, Duan Rong Yu’s attempt to look for teammates failed again and again.

"I have found someone who’s willing to team up with us," Jun Lin said.

For Duan Rong Yu, teaming up with Jun Lin was a no brainer.

In most daily tests, Jun Lin’s result was actually pretty good. But because he didn’t have enough money and resources, his fighting skills are usually quite limited.

"Who?" Duan Rong Yu was curious.

"It’s Shang Kui from the Shang Family."
