Chapter 313: Chapter 288: Tonight’s On Me (2)
But after waiting for a long time, there was still no response.
The door was still locked and wouldn’t open. Lin Yi frowned and called Wei Nan.
"We’re sorry, the number you have dialed is not available at the moment. Please try again later..."
A cold, electronic voice message played.
"Well, you can’t blame me for this. You didn’t pick up your phone!"
Lin Yi said with a smile, then headed out the door.
However, he still sent a message to Wei Nan.
He told him he was going to eat with Chu Zhengxiong.
Outside the school’s main gate, a jeep was parked.
Two men stood beside the vehicle: Chu Zhengxiong and Mo Yanfeng.
Both of them kept their eyes fixed on the school grounds.
Some students were walking out of the gate.
The moment they saw the two men, they all approached, bowed respectfully, and greeted them.
As a captain in the Demon Hunting Bureau and a frequent presence on campus,
basically all the second and third-year students recognized Chu Zhengxiong.
Thus, he was no stranger to them.
Before long, Lin Yi walked out as well.
"Brother Chu, Brother Mo!"
Smiles appeared on both their faces as they looked Lin Yi up and down.
Chu Zhengxiong stepped forward and squeezed Lin Yi’s firm arm.
"Nice, you’ve gotten taller again, and a lot sturdier too!"
"Look at you, glowing with health. I guess you’re a man with a proper master now!"
Chu Zhengxiong said with a laugh.
Lin Yi nodded. Ever since coming to the New District,
he too had clearly noticed that he had grown taller and his body had become much more solid.
This was especially true when he visualized the Blood Prison Map; his mind had also undergone a significant transformation.
Every time he emerged from the Blood Prison Map, he felt full of life.
This was likely closely related to the strengthening and enhancement of his mind.
"Brother Chu, aren’t we getting in the car? What are we waiting for?"
Just as Lin Yi finished exchanging pleasantries and was about to get in the car,
he noticed that both Chu Zhengxiong and Mo Yanfeng were standing completely still.
This was why he had asked with a hint of confusion.
"You get in and sit down first. We have to pick up two more people!"
"There are more people?"
Lin Yi was taken aback and glanced back toward the school gate.
A short while later, he saw two male students walk out of the school.
Lin Yi didn’t recognize them; they had to be either second or third-year students.
"Captain Chu, Brother Mo!"
They approached and quickly greeted Chu Zhengxiong and Mo Yanfeng.
But the moment they saw Lin Yi, one of them frowned slightly and said, "This... isn’t he a freshman? Captain Chu, doesn’t the school prohibit freshmen from joining the teams?"
Hearing this, Chu Zhengxiong laughed awkwardly. "Ah, yes, that is explicitly forbidden. But who told you he was joining the team? He’s my little brother. He just got back to school, so I’m treating him to a meal to liven things up!"
"Alright, stop dawdling and get in the car!"
After Chu Zhengxiong spoke, Lin Yi exchanged a glance with the two newcomers.
They all opened the doors and got into the car.
Once all five of them were settled in,
Chu Zhengxiong quickly reversed a short distance, turned the car around, and drove away.
"Hello, I’m Cao Gang, a third-year!"
One of the students introduced himself with a smile on the way to the restaurant.
Lin Yi nodded politely in return.
The other student beside him, however, didn’t seem as friendly.
"My name is Chen Shuang. I’m also a third-year!"
"Hello, seniors. I’m Lin Yi..."
"Mhm, I’ve heard of you. You’ve been making quite a name for yourself lately. Even Xu Tai fell to your spear. How impressive!"
Chen Shuang’s tone was a little too flat.
But his words carried a hidden barb.
Lin Yi just smiled and said nothing.
Meanwhile, Chu Zhengxiong, who was driving, frowned deeply and said, "Xiaoyi, did you get into another fight?"
"It wasn’t a fight, it was a spar!"
"I just sparred a bit with Senior Xu Tai on spear techniques!" Lin Yi explained with a smile.
"Xu Tai? Isn’t he the successor to the Xu Family’s Breaking Army Spear Technique? What, you even beat him?" Chu Zhengxiong said, surprised.
This statement even made Mo Yanfeng, sitting in the passenger seat, turn his head to glance at Lin Yi.
"It was just a spar, no winner or loser!"
"How is that ’no winner or loser’? Captain Chu, he sent Xu Tai to the School Medical Bureau! I heard he only woke up this afternoon..." Chen Shuang chimed in quickly.
Hearing this, Chu Zhengxiong glanced at Chen Shuang in the rearview mirror.
"Hmph. It was just a spar. Accidents happen. What, are you suggesting we should hand him over to the Town Martial Department?"
Chu Zhengxiong’s tone was now clearly displeased.
Chen Shuang quickly realized his mistake, shaking his head and saying, "No, I was just making a comment..."
A moment ago, when Chu Zhengxiong had introduced Lin Yi as his little brother, he hadn’t thought much of it.
’People throw around a term like ’little brother’ all the time, right?’
’It’s not like they’re actually related by blood, so who cares?’
However, judging by Chu Zhengxiong’s attitude just now, Chen Shuang realized things weren’t so simple.
’Could Lin Yi actually be Chu Zhengxiong’s real older brother?’
’That can’t be right. I’m a local student myself.’
’I’ve been studying at Xingwu University for three years, and I’ve never once heard that Chu Zhengxiong had a younger brother.’
’Everyone knows he has a biological younger sister, though.’
’Besides, with Chu Zhengxiong’s personality, there’s no reason for him to be so protective of a student from the Old District.’
Although Chen Shuang couldn’t figure it out, he wasn’t so bull-headed as to keep pushing the issue.
The chance to intern with a Demon Hunting Team was a rare opportunity for students like them.
If they could secure a firm foothold in the Demon Hunting Team and transition to an official position, they would become true Demon Hunters.
The various benefits alone were impossible to refuse.
