Chapter 971: Chapter 972 Preparation

"You’re also here to eat?"

Feng Yuan waved at Chen Xin while eating, and seeing him stuff his mouth with soup dumplings, Chen Xin laughed and said,

"Are you... eating dinner here alone?"

"That sounds weird coming from you, what do you mean ’eating alone’? Is someone supposed to be accompanying me?"

Hearing Chen Xin’s words, Feng Yuan looked puzzled, indicating the group of boys slinging their arms around each other beside him. Chen Xin said,

"What do you think?"

"Pfft, I don’t want the hassle, maintaining a social circle is trouble enough."

Feng Yuan said disdainfully. Chen Xin laughed but didn’t expose him. Bai You came over, somewhat puzzled, and looked at Chen Xin saying,

"I got yours for you, same as always."

"Thanks~"

Sitting opposite Feng Yuan, Chen Xin looked at him and said,

"In some time, I might be going to Shangjing, you..."

Thinking, Chen Xin lowered his head and said,

"Could you possibly, help me..."

Veronia glanced at Chen Xin with a look of disdain and said,

"Do you really think he’d fall for you?"

"No, it’s just... never mind."

Chen Xin sighed, preparing to stand up. Feng Yuan looked at him and said,

"If there really is some difficulty, I can help you, after all, we were classmates, weren’t we?"

Chen Xin paused, smiled at Feng Yuan, and walked away to sit next to Bai You. Although he heard what Chen Xin had murmured, Feng Yuan showed no reaction. Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan, naturally hearing the subconscious words Chen Xin had let slip.

(Just classmates, huh...)

Shaking its tail, Agunas looked at Veronia, who glared disdainfully at him without saying a word. Lowering his head, Feng Yuan scratched Xiao Ji’s neck. While eating, Xiao Ji looked confusedly at Feng Yuan, not understanding what was wrong. Shifting its body, the busy Xiao Ji dodged Feng Yuan’s hand.

"People are becoming fewer."

On the battlefield, Feng Yuan regretfully said. As the assessment date drew closer, fewer students came to the battlefield. Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"Of course, Drudgeon has taught everything it needed to, naturally, people won’t keep coming."

Indeed, with the academy assessment approaching fast, Drudgeon wouldn’t continue coming to teach its ultimate moves, especially since they were all busy capturing Hunters; this was perhaps the only time for Drudgeon’s ultimate move teaching.

"It feels a bit deserted..."

Lowering his head, Feng Yuan said, hugging Pomiti. Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan, not wanting to say much. Although not many students from their grade came, the first and second graders were still taking classes here; it was far from deserted.

"You’re planning not to come anymore?"

Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen in surprise, who was busy dismantling some training equipment, saying as he worked,

"The academy assessment is about to start, and it would be embarrassing to move them after the assessment, since this isn’t really my home."

"Didn’t the teachers agree we could keep them here? What’s there to be embarrassed about?"

"The equipment won’t be needed by Ah Mu for a short while, better take them back now."

Qi Chen carefully packed the dismantled equipment into boxes. Seeing this, Feng Yuan looked at his own training equipment and said to Xiao Ji,

"Do you still need that stuff?"

Thinking, Xiao Ji shook his head. With Feng Yuan training with him, he temporarily didn’t need those training equipment, as his own abilities were already quite strong, and those devices were just the icing on the cake. Agunas shook its tail and said,

"It’s not very useful to him, and indeed, you should consider where you’ll stay during this period."

Although the school would likely allow him to continue staying in the dormitory, he couldn’t occupy the school dormitories forever, right? Scratching his head, Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen and said,

"Wasn’t it agreed I’d go over to his place?"

"It’s good you have somewhere to go, if I weren’t busy now, I could even let you stay at the Land of Time Tranquility for a while."

Agunas muttered softly. Veronia glanced at Agunas annoyedly and said,

"Your broken place isn’t as comfortable as my World of Mirrors, what’s there to go to."

"You!"

Seeing Veronia and Agunas arguing, Feng Yuan helplessly held his forehead. He hadn’t expected them to quarrel over such a trivial matter, but why did he feel somewhat happy? He patted Xiao Ji’s head and bent down to take some tools from Qi Chen to start dismantling the training equipment.

"Why would you come here?"

Gladys, somewhat surprised, looked at the small figure in front of her who glanced at Gladys and said,

"It seems you have found the person you were looking for."

"You knew already, but why didn’t you tell me?"

Gladys asked, puzzled, to which Lorna shook her head and said,

"You know very well that even I cannot defy time; in its presence, what difference do we have?"

Seeing that Lorna seemed down, Gladys chuckled and said,

"What’s the matter with you? Have you encountered some trouble?"

Glancing at Gladys, Lorna turned around and said,

"Nothing much, just, seeing you find your own happiness, I feel very happy."

"Happiness? It’s still uncertain... But, would you like to stay here for a few days? There’s an interesting fellow here; maybe he could cheer you up?"

Although unaware of what Lorna was facing, having been taken care of by her so many times, Gladys also wanted to help. If anyone could solve the issues Lorna faced, it might only be the enigmatic Feng Yuan. Although Lorna and Veludante had a somewhat subtle relationship, if there were a genuine problem, Veludante wouldn’t ignore her; it was only the issues that Veludante felt helpless with that could be puzzling Lorna so.

But Veludante was a Divine Beast, and despite its quirky character, it would still have friends among Divine Beasts; if even it couldn’t manage, perhaps only Feng Yuan might stand a chance.

"No need; I’m planning to go back."

If it wasn’t for wanting to see Gladys, Lorna might have gone back earlier. Seeing this girl she had always been concerned about possibly finding the happiness she desired seemed to lessen Lorna’s disappointment.

"Don’t rush, who knows, you might find something unexpected?"

Gladys held onto Lorna, smiled, and said, turning to look at her. Lorna sighed, resignedly saying,

"Alright, but I won’t stay long."

"Strange... Gladys asking for my help? She shouldn’t be encountering any particularly troublesome issues."

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan said, puzzled. Qi Chen glanced at him and asked,

"What? Did someone ask for you?"

"Yeah, Gladys asked me for a favor."

As he spoke, Feng Yuan glanced at the packed boxes and thought for a moment before sending a message saying,

"Do you want to come with? She has invited us to Jufu Tower for dinner."

Staring at Feng Yuan for a while, Qi Chen said,

"Never mind, she probably only invited you."

"How is that possible? So, do you want to go? We could invite Dou Yanlan and Teacher Yan too."

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly and said,

"What are you up to... Want to gobble up your doggy snacks early?"

"Come on! Are you coming?"

Feng Yuan said, his hand pressing on Qi Chen’s shoulder. Seeing Feng Yuan’s persistent demeanor, Qi Chen sighed and said,

"Alright, let me tell Yanlan."

"So, what’s the matter, really?"

Holding Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan asked, puzzled. The receptionist at the door seemed hesitant to speak, and Gladys, amused, looked at the eagle in Feng Yuan’s arms and said,

"It’s Lorna. There seems to be something she can’t handle herself, so I thought you might have a way to help, and I called you."

Feeling uncomfortable in Feng Yuan’s arms, Xiao Ji struggled to get free and looked, somewhat puzzled, at the receptionist, whose gaze seemed a bit odd?

"Dear guest, please take good care of your Spirit Beast and don’t let it wander off."

Seeing Xiao Ji staring at herself, the receptionist said fearfully, while Agunas flicked its tail and remarked,

"It seems she’s somewhat scared of it, but that’s normal."

Xiao Ji had been fighting alongside Feng Yuan these past days and inevitably carried an air of ferocity, seeming quite menacing to ordinary people.

Patting Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"Understood."
