Li Yixiao froze still. He did not know that only Class D?s were allowed entry, and even Lu Shu, the ?Class E?, was allowed in due to the special conditions of his strength type… But it was too late!

?Well…? Li Yixiao was thinking hard for a reasonable excuse, ?I actually can be a Class D too.?

Clever move. It would be too bloody obvious if he had copied Lu Shu and claimed to be a Class E strength type as well. Thus, he upped his abilities by one level.

Meng Jingchan still declined politely, ?My sincere apologies, but you don?t have to do this. We need to take care of ourselves in the remains anyway, so you can?t fool us. Furthermore, we only accept Class D?s, with Lu Mu the sole exception due to his strength type.?

?Then,? Lu Shu offered Li Yixiao an opportunity, ?how about show us what you?ve got? Li Dafang, you said you were a Class D. So what type of capabilities do you have? Come on, show us…?

?Right,? Li Yixiao seized the chance, ?Let me show you. I?m a strength-type Class E too!?

Then, he immediately punched a fist in a reef, which collapsed with a loud bang.

?See? I?m really a Class D!? Li Yixiao raised his head up high in pride.

Meng Jingchan hesitated for two seconds before a smile appeared on her face, ?Well then, welcome to Team Jingchan.?

Not sure about the rest, Lu Shu had an intuition that Meng Jingchan had seen through Li Yixiao?s pretense without making it clear. She was a smart girl.

Could it be she was planning to seek Li Yixiao?s help in the remains? After all, they could be considered teammates.

But based on Li Yixiao?s personality, it would be a wiser choice to deny one?s connection with him inside…

Just when Mo Shengqi continued his stories about the various organizations, Li Yixiao whispered to Lu Shu, ?Why did you abandon me, kid??

?Oh, right. We forgot about you…? Lu Shu replied.

?From Li Yixiao?s distress, +399…?

Back then, Li Yixiao was out and hid from Li Xianyi, who was inside the safe house. Thus, Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu had subconsciously thrown Li Yixiao to the back of their minds when they hurried on their way.

Li Yixiao scratched his head in embarrassment, could you please find a better excuse, boy?! He wanted to cross the sea directly with the aid of Lu Shu?s water-type powers, but the latter had long disappeared before he realized!

Meanwhile, Mo Shengqi was narrating the founding stories of North America?s Phoenix Society. According to him, its predecessor was a college fraternity comprising top scorers, who happened to have extremely high chances of power awakening. Under the collaboration of their Metahuman members, the Phoenix Society finally clinched the position as the first Metahuman organization in North America. In addition, a student-led society backed by consortia, their history could be traced back to before the regeneration of Spirit Qi.

Just when Mo Shengqi?s face was beaming with joy, Lu Shu slotted in an unexpected comment, ?You are really my idol, Brother Mo. Despite your weak abilities, you are a walking encyclopedia…?

?From Mo Shengqi?s distress, +199!?

Ouch, that hurts… Mo Shengqi almost choked and remained silent for a long while. Only a few moments ago, he was the one who looked down upon Lu Shu?s capabilities. However, based on Lu Xiaoyu?s understanding of Lu Shu, she knew the petty Lu Shu would definitely find a chance for revenge…

At the same time, Lu Shu sent his Corpsedog and Concealed Arrow to scrape against the snow mountains. It was fine that he could not sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, since the energy lost could be fully compensated by the distress points gained.

But it was a different issue about his sea of chi and snow mountain, as there were no shortcuts just sheer diligence.

Lu Shu felt as if he was back to the days when he just took up his sword, when his dream was to unlock his sea of chi and snow mountain one day, wielding Nature as his sword.

Back to reality, every member of Team Jingchan was sharing his or her knowledge about the cultivation realm, so as to complement one another?s existing views in preparation for future crises. This was useful to Lu Shu, who had limited access to external information besides the Golden Foundation forum.

Meng Jingchan warned, ?Actually, the Phoenix Society?s working style is rather unreasonable. Those self-proclaimed elites love to poke their noses around, so it?s best if we can stay away from them.?

Another person laughed, ?The Japanese are an even tougher target. I went for a trip to Japan early this year and realized that the Collection of Gods is their one and only organization. But they have a population of hundreds of millions! Moreover, every Practitioner, even commoner tourists, are under surveillance there.?

Li Yixiao pursed his lips, ?Sooner or later we are going to uproot their homes. I?m not done with them.?

No one showed any form of disagreement at his comment, as if it was a general opinion.

Suddenly, Meng Jingchan turned to Lu Shu who had remained quiet ever since. Due to her upbringing, the girl was mature and empathetic during interpersonal interactions.

She interpreted it as Lu Shu?s awkwardness at finding common topics. In an attempt to include all team members, she prompted, smiling, ?Lu Mu, do you have anything to contribute??

Lu Shu was surprised by the sudden change of focus. He took a careful consideration before replying, ?Well… I know that your fish will taste sour if you steam it with vinegar…?

?From Meng Jingchan?s distress, +199!?

?From Li Yixiao?s distress, +110!?

?From…?

A tinge of awkwardness started permeating through the air as everyone else had difficulty continuing the conversation…

Meng Jingchan paused for a long moment, ?Anything else??

?Right, yes,? Lu Shu nodded, ?Drinking a bag of milk before sleep will cost you a few bucks more than sleeping without drinking milk…?

?From Meng Jingchan?s distress, +299…?

?From…?

Li Yixiao drew a startled breath, his brother Lu Shu was really no ordinary person…

Lu Shu?s joker personality was like a torch in the darkness, clear at one glance…

At the moment, Lu Shu had been secretly labeled the most unreliable member of the team. Whoever saw him in the remains must hide away or run as far as possible so as not to be tied down by this burden!

But Lu Shu had not had enough fun yet. Grinning from ear to ear, he asked Xiaoyu, ?Do you have anything to add??

Lu Xiaoyu gave the group a serious nod, ?If you are accidentally burned but have no wound cream with you, toothpaste can be helpful. You will forget about your pain after brushing your teeth for three hours. Also, you can?t drink mandarins and milk together because mandarins are not potable!?

Then, she shot Lu Shu a smug look, I did not fail you, did I?

?From Meng Jingchan?s distress, +666!?

?From…?

The entire team froze in shock. Clearly you two were siblings!

But could you please behave yourselves? We are not hiring cross-talkers!
