Chapter 203: Ghost in the Magic World - Watching the Show (4)
Duan Rong Yu nodded. "It’s Bing Hong Xiang."
Xiang Kui blinked her eyes and then she thought to herself that it was finally the time. She had started to grow tired after repeating so many simple missions for several weeks that she really wanted to break out of her character.
"What about the other team?" Xiang Kui suddenly asked.
During this joint mission, a lot of things would happen...
And it was also the mission that caused Duan Rong Yu to go down on the road of becoming the ’villain’ in Shang Xiyue and Bing Hong Xiang’s story completely.
Shang Kui didn’t participate in this missions.
After all, she was not designated to come.
But she heard about it from others and saw how Duan Rong Yu and Bing Hong Xiang become mortal enemies.
Not only that...
The Bing Family and the Duan Family behind them also clashed after this incident that the Governor had to intervene.
If it was not because of the threat of the ghosts were more important, the two families would have killed each other right away at that time.
Unfortunately, Xiang Kui didn’t have any other information about what happened.
She only had scattered information that Shang Kui gathered from the result.
Now that she’s in the same team with Duan Rong Yu and Jun Lin, it was obvious that this is the chance for her to participate directly and possibly change the trajectory of the events to avoid the original tragedy.
"It’s Jun Kang’s team," Duan Rong Yu said while looking at Jun Lin.
Jun Kang is the Jun Family Head’s son who’s one year above them. He’s also one of the few people who hated Jun Lin to the very core and always made things difficult for Jun Lin when he was in the Jun Family.
If it was not because of the elders’ order, Jun Kang would have long killed Jun Lin.
So when Duan Rong Yu heard that the team leaders were him, Bing Hong Xiang, and Jun Kang, he felt that whoever designated this mission didn’t have any good intention.
How could they all be assigned a joint mission?
So far, none of the three of them have met each other during mission because they have no reason to find the others.
They have their own lives.
Aside from mocking Bing Hong Xiang and verbally arguing with him in the missions hall, Duan Rong Yu didn’t want to make other trouble.
But someone seemed to be giving them the best platform to make trouble with each other.
"Jun Kang?" Jun Lin repeated and he frowned.
He naturally knew Jun Kang and had encountered the other party a few times in the past. His impression of the other party was also very bad because Jun Kang hated his existence very much and always felt that Jun Lin should not exist.
But in the past year, due to Jun Kang’s graduation, he hadn’t looked for Jun Lin again.
After all, Jun Kang was busy to gain experience and the Jun Family also wished to nurture him.
They would not allow him to keep on clashing with Jun Lin all the time.
He had more important things to do.
The Jun Family was hoping to nurture a qualified successor instead of a man who only knew how to bully others.
So Jun Lin had more breathing space.
But now that they were teamed together, it was estimated that a conflict might break out.
"It’s not impossible to reject the mission, but it might be a bit troublesome." Duan Rong Yu frowned and knew that he could reject it by going to his father.
The Duan Family does have this right.
But this would make Jun Lin in a more difficult position.
As for Shang Kui?
...Even if she were to reject the mission, everyone would only show disdain but said nothing because her own reputation was already very bad in the past few years.
"No need." Jun Lin shook his head when he heard Duan Rong Yu’s words. "Running away will never solve the problem. And I don’t want to trouble your father with my matters."
"It’s not just your matters but also mine. Who would want to team up with Bing Hong Xiang?" Duan Rong Yu rolled his eyes.
Even though they said that, they eventually didn’t try to change the mission.
Xiang Kui herself also chose to see through this mission.
They all gathered in the mission hall fully prepared and Xiang Kui could already smell gunpowder even from a distance.
Duan Rong Yu and Bing Hong Xiang were glaring at each other.
Jun Kang, who was a year older than them all, was crossing his arm and glanced at Jun Lin with clear disdain on his face.
It was obvious that he didn’t want to be here if it was not for the arrangement from the family and the governor.
What kind of mission do they even have to complete together?
It was nothing more than eliminating a group of unruly magic beasts in a certain area that had gathered too much.
Because there were a lot of them and most of their ranks were only between rank 2 to rank 4, the governor decided to send the children over. It could be regarded as test and also training for them.
The other people were all too busy to take care of this matter.
"I’ll be the temporary leader for this operation." Bing Hong Xiang snorted.
"I disagree!" Duan Rong Yu almost yelled when he heard Bing Hong Xiang’s words. There was no way that he would agree.
"There’s no need for a temporary leader. Just lead your own team and then we’ll divide into three groups." Jun Kang waved his hand arrogantly.
Duan Rong Yu and Bing Hong Xiang looked at each other before they agreed.
It seemed to be the best.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to cooperate together and might even sabotage each other’s mission.
That might end up as more trouble in the end.
Besides, they couldn’t really trust each other either.
