Chapter 1038: Chapter 72: One Against Four
Lin Ning’s mouth seed to be completely opposite to her brain, with a neurological pathway in between that functioned like a NOT gate, making her the textbook example of saying one thing but aning another.
During combat training, Yun Jin was basically cooperative with “Sure, okay, can do” and followed every stance instruction completely. Ningning, however, was more “No, don’t, can’t,” symbolically resisting a few tis before gradually starting to cooperate, and even trying to fight for control and lead.
All her skills were taught by Yan Yu, how could she possibly outmaneuver him? Soon, her voice quivered with tears, yet she refused to admit defeat, holding onto her anger and looking for an opportunity to retaliate, like an angry little porcupine.
It must be said, although her attitude and reaction of resisting while reluctant were seemingly awkward and deliberate, when closely tasted, they had a unique flavor of their own.
Thanks for the hospitality.
The sparring ultimately ended with Yan Yu’s complete victory. His upper limit was handling four opponents at once, little Ningning naturally couldn’t be his match; this match was never on the sa level from the beginning.
Lin Ning obviously didn’t think so. She lay flat on her back, staring straight at the ceiling, her mouth slightly puckered, not saying a word.
She wasn’t so tired that she couldn’t speak, she was just angry with herself.
I perford so poorly just now! Got beaten up by the captain without being able to fight back, not even as good as Sister Zhao!
“What’s wrong?” Yan Yu leaned close to her, showing a teasing smile, “Worn out?”
Lin Ning turned away, ignoring him.
“Why are you throwing a tantrum?” Yan Yu grabbed her shoulder, turning her over, “Weren’t you the one who said everyone should be treated equally?”
“Do you only act when I take the initiative?” Lin Ning imdiately retorted, “Treat everyone the sa, not differentiating, isn’t that what you should do as the captain?”
“There’s no captain anymore.” Yan Yu laughed, “The team disbanded.”
Lin Ning stared at him, her beautiful big eyes showing extrely complex emotions, but quickly turned angry again, gritting her teeth and said:
“Yes, cultivators automatically leave the team after forming the core, so you are no longer my captain. Then what is our relationship now?”
That was a good question. First of all, definitely not comrades, as everyone except Ningning has ford their core, the team no longer exists; secondly, definitely not friends, what kind of proper friends would do this kind of two-person sparring?
So actually…
Yan Yu reached out to the bedside table to grab the docunt he brought, only to hear Lin Ning half-angry, half-grievance complaining:
“You just like bullying . The team disbanded, rather go find them than co to . Only when I actively ntion it do you co over, making it seem like I’m begging you to be with .”
“I won’t beg you anymore! You co if you want, don’t if you don’t want. Anyway, I’m not as pretty as Ling Yun, not as sexy as Sister Zhao, not as gentle as Yun Jin, nor like Ruoxi who doesn’t complain when you ss with her, you can go play with them, don’t bother with . After forming the core, I’ll take care of myself, thank you for looking after when you were the captain, goodbye!”
“You, what are you babbling about?” Yan Yu was amused by her awkward manner, handing over the application docunt, “Here, sign this.”
“Sign what?” Lin Ning refused to take it, saying angrily, “I won’t.”
“Selling contract.” Yan Yu laughed, “If you sign this, you’re mine henceforth.”
“Ridiculous, again with those down-to-earth comnts.” Lin Ning, slightly curious, took the docunt and browsed through.
After a while, she suddenly sat up in surprise, letting the blanket slide off her.
Then quickly reacted, pulling the blanket up to cover her chest with her right hand and shaking the docunt with her left hand, questioning:
“What is this!”
What’s the point of covering up, as if I haven’t seen it before… Yan Yu thought to himself, but said aloud:
“Application to beco a couple. How about it, weren’t you asking what our relationship is after the team disbanded? Sign this docunt and we’ll be officially recognized as a couple.”
“That’s what I ant!” Lin Ning threw the docunt away, papers scattering in the air, “Confession! If we’re going to be a couple, shouldn’t you confess first? Giving a docunt for to sign, what does that count as! What do you take for?”
“Not that, Ningning.” Yan Yu seed a bit confused, “What is our relationship now? What did we just do, forgot? Going this far, still need a verbal confession?”
“Get on the bus and no need to buy a ticket later?” Lin Ning glared hard. Although it was an angry expression, it didn’t have Yun Jin’s heavy pressure, more like a clawing little animal, actually making Yan Yu want to continue teasing her, “You are so funny! Not willing to even say ‘I love you,’ yet want to be your girlfriend!”
“Hmm.” Yan Yu was a bit speechless. No wonder you and Yun Jin get along, the pursuit of ceremonial vibes is almost identical, “Fine, I love you.”
“Drop the first two words!” Lin Ning beca ever angrier, her chest seemingly expanding, “Don’t use that perfunctory tone!”
“Ningning, I love you.” Yan Yu had to put on a deeply affectionate look, “Since the first ti I saw you in the school cafeteria, I secretly decided, this girl I must get…”
“Gross.” Lin Ning kicked him angrily, “You can say you liked from the first sight, but talking about ‘getting’ , I’m not your toy!”
If you’re not my toy, why are you so fun? Yan Yu chuckled silently, but said aloud:
“That’s what I ant. From the first sight, I liked you, now finally can be your boyfriend, I feel honored and privileged.”
“Hmph, hypocritical.” Lin Ning pouted again, angrily, “Saying it so exaggeratedly, not sincere at all.”
Yan Yu was silent for a mont, she continued:
“Then say, in the original team, the one you liked the most was .”
“The one I liked the most was Ningning.” Yan Yu smoothly replied.
A touch of the lips, flattering words ca out, no psychological preparation needed at all.
“Because I’m the prettiest, smartest, and most capable.” Lin Ning sweetly smiled, no longer hiding her joyful emotions, her brows and eyes curved cutely, “That’s why you want to be with .”
“Exactly, you summarized perfectly.” Yan Yu nodded, “Because you’re pretty, smart, and capable, so the one I like the most is you.”
“Hold on.” Lin Ning reached under the pillow, pulling out a voice recorder, “Say it into this, I want to record it.”
Yan Yu: …
Why did you still keep this kooky voice recorder!
Sweet words can be said, but cannot be recorded. Although Ningning probably wouldn’t intentionally do it, if other girls hear the recording, it would turn into a brutal battlefield!
Just a battlefield, Yan Yu wasn’t really scared. The issue was battlefield escalating, usually ending with everyone uniting against him, and his upper limit was handling four at once, any more would certainly end in self-humiliation, being bullied without retaliation, dignity lost, and lifeti ridicule!
“No need to record.” Yan Yu reached to grab the voice recorder, “There’s the docunt and signature, official recognition, what’s to worry about?”
“Recognition is recognition, attitude is attitude!” Lin Ning quickly extended her hand away, preventing him from grabbing it, “You just talk now, then change your words in front of them, recording is to prevent that!”
It must be said, this Ningning, worthy of my teaching, saw through my intentions instantly.
Yan Yu certainly wouldn’t let her record, directly trying to snatch the recorder.
“Give it to !”
“No way!”
“Be good, give it to .”
“Wishful thinking, it’s mine!”
“If you don’t give it to , don’t bla for being rude.”
“Hmph.” Lin Ning glanced sideways, deliberately using a contemptuous tone, “You still have the strength?”
Her expression was really tempting and charming, to the point Yan Yu almost couldn’t resist, had to use Flying Sword again, planning to impart his lifeti’s swordsmanship skills.
————————
Yan Family Secret Swordsmanship, not to be demonstrated outside.
Lin Ning studied extrely seriously, without complaining or feeling tired, drenched in sweat and utterly exhausted, thinking why was I so foolish to provoke him? But it was too late for regret.
Yet Yan Yu, considering her Crossing Tribulation, didn’t really exhaust her, letting her keep so energy.
Ruoxi, Yun Jin, Ningning… serving these in sequence, even an iron-bodied cultivator had a lting-like strange sensation. Without any cultivation in body revitalizing Secret Techniques, his upper limit was undoubtedly short-term handling four at once, without breakthroughs.
Being endlessly battled by more than four was sure defeat!
Yan Yu confird this once more. To avoid unexpected troubles, he wouldn’t rush more signatures, instead returning to his room at the base, planning to rest for the night.
After regaining full energy, he’d continue discussing with them!
Feeling slightly drained, Yan Yu went to sleep around eight in the evening. At midnight eleven, soone abruptly knocked on the door.
He opened his eyes from ditation, slightly puzzled, and said:
“Co in.”
The newcor walked through the wall, wearing a white lab coat, Ye Jun, looking at him in surprise:
“Why did you sleep so early?”
“Early?” Yan Yu glanced at his phone, “By usual living routine, this ti is sleeping.”
“Cultivators don’t need sleep.” Ye Jun said lancholy, hands in coat pockets, “I haven’t slept for weeks.”
“Even without sleep, can’t work overnight too long.” Yan Yu reminded, “You’re also crossing tribulation soon, long-term work will affect your state adversely, entirely ssed up then.”
“Yes.” Ye Jun also smiled, “I ca to discuss tribulation plans.”
“Go ahead.” Yan Yu smiled, “Any questions, ask away.”
“No issues.” Ye Jun removed lab coat, tossing on chair, “Rember the Golden Core Rank plan you promised…”
Yan Yu’s smile instantly froze.
