There are too many teammates who are complete losers.

Chapter 42 Tiandu Ji Clan

Lu Ren looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was Bai Lu from the [Listen to the Dragon's Roar] team.

Lu Ren was somewhat surprised and said, "Miss Bai Lu, what a coincidence."

"Yes, we parted ways at the Shen residence just now, and now we've run into each other here again."

"It's already noon, so it's not 'just now' anymore."

"Is Mr. Lu Ren here to take the placement test?"

"Yes, that's right."

Ji Liguang turned around and looked at the passersby. He saw a few young people, one of whom seemed to have just been in the same group as him for the placement test. He didn't remember anyone else.

Shan Qi also turned to look at Lu Ren, because he had noticed that Lu Ren was always by Ji Liguang's side.

It seems that the opponent is at the early stage of the Candle Illumination Realm with all three attributes at the "Firefly Armor" level. This proves that as a body cultivator, the opponent's three attributes are very balanced, with no weaknesses, and of course... no strengths either.

He didn't expect this person to know Bai Lu. After making eye contact with Lu Ren, he gave him a polite and gentle smile, and Lu Ren also nodded politely in return.

"Let's go, Shanqi. We're about to start a new mission. They're already waiting for you."

Shan Qi nodded upon hearing this, and said to the girl beside him:

"Ah Li, you've just arrived here, I should show you around Linjiang, but I have other things to take care of right now, so..."

"You, you, me!"

Ji Liguang was somewhat incredulous. She couldn't understand why her childhood sweetheart had changed so much in just half a year.

If something happens at home, you can always ask her for help. She ran off to Linjiang without a word, then dropped out of school on her own, and now she's even found teammates!

"You, you teamed up with someone else? You're no good. Without me, Xiaoshan can't get anything done..."

"Yes, I need to work twice as hard. I haven't forgotten our promise from when we were kids. I've never doubted that Ali will become the most powerful shield warrior."

Shan Qi smiled gently and looked at the girl, saying, "Therefore, I must also work harder to become an excellent sorcerer."

"...Is this...?"

Ji Liguang seemed a little reluctant, but still pretended to be strong, saying, "If you don't work harder, I'll soon leave you behind. Since you've already made up your mind, then... these are your teammates, right?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is Bai Lu, my teammate in the [Listen to the Dragon's Roar] team. She's a prop master at the Torch Realm, and also..."

Ji Liguang had something else he wanted to say, but he froze instantly when he heard the second half of Shan Qi's sentence.

"And she's my girlfriend now."

Huh? What is he saying?

"Girl...girlfriend?!"

Lu Ren "..."

This person has been corrupted by Jiang Yueying's meme. Why is it that I always see such explosive scenes?

He turned to look at the three people beside him.

Lin Huanghu always acted like an older brother, taking their documents and helping them with the procedures.

An Yourong crossed her arms, nodded ambiguously, and said, "I see."

Jiang Yueying then picked up her "Player" game console and started pressing buttons rapidly.

"Yeah, girlfriend."

Shan Qi looked a little shy, but his voice carried a hint of happiness as he spoke: "We only officially became a couple a week ago, so I haven't had a chance to tell you yet."

Not at the Shen residence, Miss Bai Lu reverted to her arrogant demeanor, waving to greet the other party.

"Hey, hello."

Just then, Lin Huanghu returned after completing the formalities and said, "Alright, Brother Lu, Yueying, your personal information has been updated. Hey, what are you two doing standing here?"

Lu Ren sighed and said softly, "Witnessing the heartbreak of a young girl."

An Yourong stroked her chin, looking equally thoughtful: "Is it that one? Is this the arrogant one that Yueying always talks about?"

"You're so arrogant," Lu Ren reminded her.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes!"

A few more question marks popped up in Lin's head, but he was too lazy to care.

"Didn't Yueying say she was going to that newly opened 'Player' experience store? Are we still going?"

"Oh! I want to go! I want to go!"

"Let's go then."

The group said goodbye to Bai Lu and then left.

The Vocational Education Association is located near the city center; once you step out of the association building, you're surrounded by bustling activity.

Although all four are in a period of rapid improvement, cultivation cannot be done day and night, and being too tense is not conducive to improving strength.

However, they hadn't gone far when they heard someone call out from behind, "Hey, wait a minute, you guys..."

Looking back, it was the same blonde girl from before.

Lin asked in a daze, "Miss, are you calling us?"

"I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for him. I just heard that person call out... Your name is Lu Ren, right?"

Looking for yourself?

Lu Ren was somewhat surprised and said, "I am Lu Ren. May I ask what's the matter?"

She caught up, but the words stuck in her throat. The girl looked at the clouds in the sky, then at the cars on the roadside, coughed twice, and said with a straight face:

"I am Ji Liguang, a member of the Ji family of Tiandu. You seem to know Xiaoshan's friend, that girl named Bailu? I wanted to ask you about her..."

It turns out they were investigating a cat thief, but that's not the important thing. The important thing is that this person is actually from the Ji family of Tiandu.

Even a half-baked professional like Lu Ren knows the Ji family; it's safe to say that no one in this country is unaware of the Ji family.

The Ji family of Tiandu is a super clan that is even stronger than the Shen family of Linjiang. And the family that is even higher in status than the Shen family of Linjiang is naturally one of the seven clans of the current Yu state.

The "Radiant Sun Guild," controlled by the Ji family of Tiandu, is a super-large guild with world-class influence.

Lu Ren and the others suddenly understood why this person had such high attributes.

The Ji family's ancestral profession is "Eternal Day Guardian," the world's number one shield warrior profession, with the talent "Burning Heart," which greatly amplifies their physical attributes during the day.

Lu Ren said that he had just done a random rating test and actually encountered such a terrifying monster.

If we were to draw a parallel with Douluo Continent, it would be like a descendant of the Haotian Sect escaping.

"Of course, I don't care at all that Xiaoshan found a girlfriend, but after all, they're childhood sweethearts. He suddenly ran all the way from Tiandu to Linjiang and said he found a girlfriend. I'm just a little concerned, but I don't care at all..."

Okay, you don't need to act out the tsundere part with us anymore, and besides, you almost cried as you were talking.

"Miss Ji, you've misunderstood. I don't know that girl well either. I only know that she's from a relatively well-known local adventurer team, the [Listen to the Dragon's Roar] team."

"That [Listen to the Dragon's Roar]... could you tell me about it?"

"I'm not entirely sure either. Maybe you can search online or buy a local professional newspaper; there should be news about local professional teams."

"Is this...is that so?"

The blonde girl looked a little disappointed, then, remembering something, asked, "I heard her say you've met at the Shen residence? The Shen residence refers to the Shen family of Linjiang, right? I just came from Tiandu to Linjiang, and I was just about to visit the Shen family of Linjiang..."

"I don't have much of a relationship with the Shen family of Linjiang. Strictly speaking, I did work there temporarily, right?"

Lu Ren thought for a moment and said, "However, if Miss Ji wants to learn about [Listen to the Dragon's Roar], she can indeed visit Miss Yaoxing of the Shen family in Linjiang. She used to be a member of the [Listen to the Dragon's Roar] team."

"Yes, really... I understand, thank you for letting me know."

Ji Liguang looked somewhat lost. After thanking them, he turned and left. Then, for some reason, he suddenly burst into tears, covered his face with his hands, and ran away.

Yes, that running posture, that tearful departure—it's so reminiscent of a defeated dog.

"boom--"

Because she suddenly rushed into the road, a semi-trailer truck couldn't brake in time and crashed into her.

The girl flew more than ten meters and rolled many times. After getting up, she dusted herself off and ran away crying.

The driver was startled, stuck his head out of the car window, and shouted at her:

"Hey little girl, are you alright?"

However, the girl had already run far away, her steps steady as if nothing was wrong, but her tearful face also suggested that nothing was amiss.

Only the semi-trailer driver, disheveled in the wind, was left behind.
