Chapter 463 - 186: A Thief Who Steals Hearts Is Still a Thief_3

"Okay, from now on, Su Yue, you don’t need to speak.

"Regarding the team for the end-of-month event, I have made the following allocation.

"The main players will be myself, Wang Xiqiu, and Peng Guyu.

"The first alternate players will be the leaders from the other groups.

"The second alternate player will be the freshman group leader, Du Jing’s Book, while a few third-grade students can also be included.

"Does anyone have any questions?"

Mu Cheng glanced at everyone present.

Actually, all of this had been agreed upon beforehand.

West Martial only has one fifth-grade martial artist, who cannot participate.

And the fourth-grade martial artists are the three girls.

The first alternate team is composed entirely of third-grade peak students, likely unable to break through in a month’s time.

And the second alternate team is mainly for participation, but they are all mid-level or high-level third-grade students.

Du Jing’s Book is an outlier.

He is a third-grade student in his freshman year, the top of the entire Wuda. He is the one who makes the team’s presence known.

Don’t mention anything below third-grade, not even those who have just broken through to the initial stage of third-grade, they are not qualified to join the alternate teams.

Mu Cheng asked that question merely as a formality, going through the motions.

This is related to a habit among the people of Divine Land; they like to discuss and hold meetings excessively over everything.

"I have a question.

"Is our West Martial Team an army of maidens?"

At this point, Su Yue raised his hand.

"Yes, Su Yue, do you have any objections?"

Mu Cheng asked, slightly annoyed.

"I suggest the president to wear more clothes during the competition to avoid being taken advantage of by the opponents."

Su Yue said matter-of-factly.

"Su Yue, this is a meeting room, not your comedy show, please watch your words."

Wang Xiqiu laughed so hard she was almost out of breath.

This jealousy is something unexpected.

"Su Yue, you are now also part of the student council; I need to explain to you the duties you have."

Finished with business, Mu Cheng wanted to assign Su Yue some tasks.

"I’m a freshman, my leader is Brother Du.

"My task is the freshman group’s task, which is also Brother Du’s task.

"So, the president can directly assign the task to Brother Du."

Su Yue scratched his head.

Bai Xiaolong sitting in the corner was stunned by Su Yue’s logic.

If you reach a certain level of thick-skinned, can you really be invincible?

"Brother Du, don’t you agree?"

Su Yue called out across the room.

At this moment, Du Jing’s Book was like an enlightened sage, expressionless, as he stared at his phone wallpaper.

It was an old lotus painting, lush green, capable of calming the mind.

Don’t be mad.

When others anger me, I will not be mad,

For there’s no one to suffer the illness it brings.

Life isn’t easy for anyone,

Getting angry harms liver, lungs, and spleen.

When people use their power to bully me,

Like flowing water and fallen flowers, let it go.

Du Jing’s Book silently recited a calming mantra, and sure enough, this ancient chant was rather effective.

"Su Yue is right.

"Our freshman group is like a big family; I am merely a guardian. Su Yue’s task is also mine; it’s only right.

Du Jing’s Book calmly stood up, nodding towards everyone, his expression unperturbed.

Pfft!

Bai Xiaolong couldn’t help but laugh loudly.

Su Yue’s guardian.

Du Jing’s Book is quite a sly one.

Seeing Su Yue’s face slowly turn green, Bai Xiaolong thought he should befriend Du Jing’s Book.

Even you have times when you’re outsmarted.

"Alright, if there’s nothing else, let’s adjourn the meeting."

Mu Cheng smiled and left.

You always bully Du Jing’s Book, now look, got a taste of your own medicine.

"Su Yue, I’ve heard you’re great at grilling skewers; let’s compare notes sometime, my treat."

Du Jing’s Book nodded and serenely exited the meeting room.

The calmness is surprisingly powerful.

Du Jing’s Book suddenly realized.

The old me was so immature.

"Brother, how does it feel to be effortlessly defeated?"

With everyone gone from the meeting room, Bai Xiaolong propped both feet on the table, still chuckling.

"Changed.

"Someone can just change, like the fickleness of the weather.

"Unfamiliar.

"The now Du Jing’s Book, Brother Du, makes me feel unfamiliar."

Su Yue shook his head.

"Someone’s got to rein you in; otherwise, you’d fly away, Su Yue!"

Du Jing’s Book also left the office.

Better visit the advisor.

Managed to shirk a responsibility, only to have Du Jing’s Book exploit a loophole, claiming the benefit with his words.

It’s alright.

Everyone has their off days; I’ll find a chance to reclaim it later.

Du Jing’s Book, what trick did this kid learn to fight back?

...

Sima Lingling’s villa.

Once Su Yue arrived, he received no friendly welcome.

Sima Lingling was quite upset.

Ma Xiaoyu, however, tagged along like a shadow, bombarding Su Yue with questions like a machine gun.

...

"Senior, there’s a senior in third year asking if you have a girlfriend!"

"A sophomore senior says she’s fair-skinned and beautiful."

"Senior, is the rumor about you and Mu Cheng true?"

"Senior, how are you so impressive, continuously winning in the wetland, surprising all of West Martial?

"Senior, you already have a harem in Wuda, every time you report victory, other Wuda students are present, they all adore you."

...

Ma Xiaoyu held several love letters, given to her to pass onto Su Yue by some female students.

For love, they are willing to challenge the student council president.

"Advisor, it wasn’t that dangerous."

Su Yue laughingly explained.

"Wow, senior, you stole 100 carts of origin stones from a different race, and it wasn’t dangerous?"

Ma Xiaoyu exclaimed.

Next time are you going to steal 10,000 carts?

Senior is indeed a good thief.

No.

How could senior be a thief?
