Chapter 162: Ghost in the Magic World - Beginning (8)

Silence.

Duan Rong Yu stared at Jun Lin with bewildered look, not believing what he had just heard with his own ears.

"Jun Lin, are you crazy?" Duan Rong Yu thought that Jun Lin must be crazy when he said the name just now.

The relationship between the Duan and the Shang Family was not good.

And no matter how bad Jun Lin was at interpersonal relationship, it was absolutely impossible for him to miss this kind of news.

But despite knowing that the Duan Family and the Shang Family couldn’t get along with each other, Jun Lin still agreed to team up with Shang Kui? 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Is he not afraid of causing a fight?

Duan Rong Yu could imagine that when Bing Hong Xiang heard the Duan Family and the Shang Family cooperated, he would mock him without hesitation.

"You’re not one to care about such thing." Jun Lin rolled his eyes and then added, "Besides, Shang Kui could not represent the Shang Family."

Duan Rong Yu pursed his lips.

Indeed.

He didn’t care about the problem of the older generation.

For Duan Rong Yu, it was already good enough that he bothered to listen to their words from time to time.

But asking him for more?

It was absolutely impossible.

"But Shang Kui... are you not afraid that she’ll hold us back?" Duan Rong Yu asked another matter that concerned him.

Even though Shang Kui’s theoretical exam was at the top, but her practical exam could be said to be very worrying. There were many students who disliked Shang Kui because she was not only useless but also had the privilege of a rich and powerful family.

If she had been born in an ordinary family, the number of hatred towards her wouldn’t be that much.

"In your original plan, you’re just going to hire someone anyway." Jun Lin didn’t care too much. With most students unwilling to team up with Duan Rong Yu because of Bing Hong Xiang, it would take a lot of money to hire someone.

And whether they could cooperate together with the other party was also another concern.

"True." Duan Rong Yu grinned and he wanted to pat Jun Lin’s shoulder. "My nephew knows me very well..."

Bang!

Jun Lin avoided and then attacked without hesitation. Sensing the strong kick, Duan Rong Yu grimaced.

"Why did you use physical strengthening here..."

He thought that he almost fly out because of Jun Lin!

"Heh." Jun Lin sneered as he retracted his leg and crossed his arms. "If there’s anyone of us who’s going to be the elder, it had to be me, Duan Rong Yu."

"Dream on!" Duan Rong Yu snorted.

The two men glared at each other before laughing.

"Well, I was thinking of hiring someone with high price and preferable picking someone who disliked Bing Hong Xiang too." Duan Rong Yu grinned. "But whether this plan could work or not, I have no idea."

After all, there were too many fans of Bing Hong Xiang in the school.

It was to the point that Duan Rong Yu even wondered whether Bing Hong Xiang wanted to become a magician or become an idol.

The entertainment circle in the magic world was not developing that well.

At most...

Well, it existed but the situation was not very good.

"At the very least, you can be rest assured that Shang Kui would not be Bing Hong Xiang’s fan," Jun Lin said calmly. "Perhaps, she might even dislike Bing Hong Xiang because of her cousin’s closeness to him."

The relationship between Shang Kui and Shang Xiyue were not very good.

Even though Shang Xiyue always acted generous and kind, Shang Kui always avoided this cousin of hers.

And even if Shang Xiyue wanted to showcase more of her ’nice’ personality, Shang Kui didn’t buy any of them. And acting weaker than the already shy and cowardly Shang Kui was proven to be another headache.

So Shang Xiyue didn’t force it.

Otherwise, the end result might not be very good.

Shang Kui was too weak and pitiful in the eyes of many people, making people couldn’t help but feel pity for her.

Or perhaps...

Also disdain.

She was too useless.

"Well, that’s one of the good thing from her." Duan Rong Yu nodded. Anyone who disliked Bing Hong Xiang is his friend.

At the very least, Duan Rong Yu felt that they were more worthy to be his friend compared to those annoying people who praised Bing Hong Xiang to the sky.

It would be too boring to communicate with someone who adored Bing Hong Xiang.

Duan Rong Yu would have goosebumps first.

"So, do you agree?" Jun Lin asked.

"We shall see tomorrow." Duan Rong Yu grinned. "It’s one thing for her to dislike Bing Hong Xiang, but her combat power is indeed worrying. I want to see if she can protect herself."

While Duan Rong Yu and Jun Lin didn’t have much requirement for their third members, but they didn’t want to be babysitter.

Shang Kui’s useless reputation was too loud!

So loud that they were unsure whether it was the truth or not.

"That’s good." Jun Lin nodded.

He knew that if Duan Rong Yu could say this, then he had already half agreed. The rest would depend on Shang Kui’s performance.

As long as she was not so bad that she couldn’t even protect herself, then this team is settled.

...

Xiang Kui’s side.

After an unexpected meeting with her father, Xiang Kui went back to her residence and resumed her so called ’training.’

To be honest, Xiang Kui could sense that her control over Shang Kui’s power was much stronger than the other party. This made her able to exert more than 200% power higher than Shang Kui.

But she still has to train on the surface.

Because of the OOC matters.

Tsk.

Whoever set that thing up was definitely making trouble with her.

’Tomorrow I should be able to see Shang Xiyue and Bing Hong Xiang.’
