Chapter 70 Mu Ningxue's Cake
Half a year later, Imperial Capital College.

"Snow for skin, ice for bones, three thousand silver threads, stunning the whole city, hearing about it is not as good as meeting it in person."

"I'm Guan Yu, and it's an honor to meet Miss Mu Ningxue here."

An elegant man walked slowly over and spoke politely.

Mu Ningxue walked past this person without even glancing at him.

She was getting tired of hearing these old-fashioned compliments.

What's more, Mu Ningxue had no interest in getting to know this person called Guan Yu.

Guan Yu seemed quite patient and graceful, and did not care about Mu Ningxue's inherent indifference.

He smiled self-deprecatingly and quickly followed.

"No matter what, we will be teammates who depend on each other for life and death for the next year or so."

"I almost forgot to tell you that I am already a regular member of the Summer National Division of the School Competition."

Guan Yu had a smile on his face, as if the second half of his words were enough to move Mu Ningxue.

As expected, Mu Ningxue raised her eyes slightly and turned her head...

The smile on Guan Yu's face became even brighter.

He was not a person who would show off easily. To deal with a woman like Mu Ningxue, sweet words were useless. Only strength was the most effective.

However, the smile on Guan Yu’s face soon froze.

Because he found that Mu Ningxue was not looking at him at all, but was staring at a young man in black who was walking towards them.

"You came."

A smile appeared on Mu Ningxue's face.

"Of course. I heard that there will be a departure ceremony today. I will definitely come."

Qin Xiao smiled slightly and spoke.

"I'm a substitute."

Mu Ningxue suddenly said this.

"Why?"

Qin Xiao frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

"I'll take it and exchange it for money. I need resources for cultivation."

Mu Ningxue said calmly, "After all this, I understand what you said to me."

"Well, that suits your style."

Qin Xiao felt helpless, but he understood Mu Ningxue's thoughts.

Only by becoming stronger can one control his own destiny and take revenge on certain people in the Mu family.

"A gift for you, want to try it?"

Mu Ningxue took out a small cake from somewhere and handed it to Qin Xiao.

This cake is not very delicate, it is very likely made by Mu Ningxue herself.

Seeing this, Qin Xiao's mouth curled up into an arc.

"Thank you."

He replied softly before putting the cake in his mouth.

Although it doesn’t look very good, it tastes pretty good.

"By the way, Mu Nujiao defeated Mo Fan and Dongfang Lie and successfully won the first place."

Mu Ningxue continued.

"That's awesome, congratulations."

Qin Xiao spoke somewhat slurredly.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Mu Ningxue's eyes fell on Guan Yu and she asked in confusion. Hearing this, Guan Yu's mouth twitched a few times.

Oh my god, my self-introduction just now was ignored?
Did Mu Ningxue do it on purpose or unintentionally?
But no matter which one it is, it is extremely lethal and insulting!
"Ahem, I'm just passing by..."

Guan Yu spoke awkwardly, but was interrupted by Qin Xiao.

"I heard that you are a regular player for the National Team? That's great. You should obey my orders from now on, or I will make things difficult for you!"

Qin Xiao patted Guan Yu's shoulder, acting like he was the big brother who would protect him from now on.

Guan Yu's face suddenly darkened, he clenched his fists, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Who are you? Even if it's Ai Jiangtu, he wouldn't dare to talk to me like this!"

"Xiao Ai, he is the vice-captain and I am the captain. Do you understand now?"

Qin Xiao smiled slightly, looking like a teachable kid.

Guan Yu's mind was buzzing and he was completely confused.

Captain?!

Doesn't this mean that the person in front of him is one level higher than Ai Jiangtu?
Guan Yu felt that his three views were impacted!

As a member of the national team, Guan Yu is naturally a favored child of heaven and a very arrogant person.

Ai Jiangtu was appointed as the captain, and there were certainly many people who were dissatisfied, Guan Yu was one of them.

Then he was educated.
This also made Guan Yu understand the gap in strength between the two sides.

However, the young man in front of him was one level higher than Ai Jiangtu. His strength was at least comparable to Ai Jiangtu's, if not surpassing it.

"Little officer, stop being in a daze. We should go hold the departure ceremony."

Qin Xiao patted Guan Yu's shoulder and reminded him.

"Ah good!"

Guan Yu came back to his senses, quickly suppressed his inner emotions, and resumed his elegant and indifferent demeanor.

It is Mid-Autumn Festival in the imperial capital, and there is still a cool breeze.

In the center of the Imperial Capital Academy, there is a magnificent magic dueling arena.

The entire venue is star-shaped, covered by a black four-arc dome that can be opened or closed.

The surrounding seats can accommodate 50,000 people.

This dueling arena is rarely opened, and magic duels that do not reach a certain level cannot be held here!

The seats in the dueling arena were empty, but in the center of the arena, there were eight young mages.

They stood in a row, wearing handsome magic robes. When the breeze blew, their cloaks fluttered, making them look extremely heroic!

“I am very happy to see that you have stood out from so many universities!”

"Next, you will represent the younger generation of our country and compete with the top players from other countries!"

"Although we can give you a very grand departure ceremony, I would rather this ceremony be held when you return triumphantly!"

Dean Songhe's voice echoed in the ears of the nine contestants.

Dean Songhe is one of the five mentors of the National Government Team. When the spring of this year came, the election of the National Government Team had been completed.

These young mages will undergo more than a year of training in various countries and finally participate in the World Academy Competition in Venice!
Although these students were selected from thousands, they still had a killer plan to ensure they would get first place.

However, Dean Songhe waited for a long time but did not see this person appear.

Could it be.
be lost?
Moreover, not only Qin Xiao didn't come, but Guan Yu didn't come either? !
"Isn't that Mu Ningxue?"

"Isn't she a substitute? Why is she here?"

"You guys have missed the point. One of the two people next to Mu Ningxue is Guan Yu. How dare he be late!"

Ai Jiangtu stood in the crowd, looking at Qin Xiao and Mu Ningxue who were walking slowly towards him with some confusion.

Based on his understanding of Qin Xiao, Qin Xiao was definitely here to cause trouble.

"Mu Ningxue, you've come to the wrong place. This is a ceremony for the main players."

Mu Tingying, whose hair was dyed brown, had a somewhat sarcastic look in her eyes.
