After that, Su Ming and the other five briefly explained their situations to each other, deepening their understanding.

Needless to say, in terms of strength, since they were about to act as teammates, it was natural to get to know each other.

Su Ming, Lei Hao, and Ye Bai simply introduced their positions and strengths to the three junior sisters.

For example, Lei Hao, as a hunter, excelled in close combat. He used a greatsword, and his position was that of a tank. In his words, he could handle the task of charging into battle.

For example, Ye Bai was not good at offensive Spiritual Arts, but he had some research on binding and some auxiliary Spiritual Arts. His position was that of a control-oriented midfielder, but he lacked effective means of killing.

As for Su Ming, he positioned himself as a rear guard output, capable of using several types of offensive Spiritual Arts, but not good at other types.

Of course, if Xu Qianqian were here, she would definitely secretly despise this guy who was pretending to be weak.

An Zijin and the others naturally didn't know about this, but after Su Ming and the others introduced their situations, they also revealed their own situations.

Among these three overly beautiful junior sisters, apart from An Zijin being a sorcerer, the other two were hunters.

Jiang Wanyu told everyone that she was very confident in her speed and used short thorns, which had relatively low lethality. Her position was that of a guerrilla-type forward. She might not be able to charge into battle, but she could disrupt the enemy's formation, attract the enemy's attention, and even do some reconnaissance work.

In other words, Jiang Wanyu was an assassin-type hunter.

An Zijin, of course, didn't need to be said. As the chief of the Sorcerer Department, although she had only just entered the school, she had already learned several Spiritual Arts, and it was said that she was very valued by the instructors of the Sorcerer Department.

The strength of these two freshmen was worth looking forward to. In terms of talent and potential alone, they were generally recognized as being stronger than Su Ming and the others, who were mediocre in the academy. Therefore, even though they had only just entered the school, Su Ming and the others would not underestimate them.

On the other hand, Yao Beibei, this little sister who looked intellectual and quiet, was actually a hunter, which really surprised Su Ming and the others.

What was even more surprising was that the weapon used by this junior sister, who had the omen of great fortune, was also very explosive—a pair of hammers.

That's right, hammers.

Moreover, they were the kind of huge iron hammers that were very large, very heavy, and even more like meteor hammers than meteor hammers.

Yao Beibei's position was also forward, but a strength-type forward.

According to An Zijin and Jiang Wanyu, everyone should not provoke Yao Beibei, otherwise, one hammer from her would probably kill everyone.

Su Ming and the others twitched their mouths as they looked at this seemingly shy and weak junior sister who lowered her head, feeling their worldviews were collapsing.

But no matter what, it was a foregone conclusion that everyone would form a team here.

Next, the six of them filled in their information on the team application form and handed it to the staff in the mission hall, officially becoming partners in a team.

It is worth mentioning that, during this period, some of the students in the mission hall also gathered around, shamelessly extending invitations to An Zijin, Yao Beibei, and Jiang Wanyu, saying things like "Instead of joining this inconspicuous team, why not join us? We have..." and so on.

But An Zijin and the others refused without hesitation.

Well, more precisely, it should be said that An Zijin refused without hesitation, and then Yao Beibei and Jiang Wanyu followed suit without hesitation.

These two fierce and leggy junior sisters seemed determined to go in and out with Su Ming's little Zijin sister, escorting her, and their words and actions were almost like declaring themselves as the "An Zijin Guard."

And An Zijin was also determined to go in and out with Su Ming, and her words and actions were only one step away from declaring herself as "Su Ming's thoughtful little padded jacket."

Thus, these three overly beautiful junior sisters completely got on Su Ming's car, and even gave Lei Hao and Ye Bai a ride, which made the two of them very happy.

On the other hand, Su Ming could probably only harvest another wave of hatred and be shouted at and killed in secret by An Zijin's fans (simps).

Well, he was obviously wronged, but he obviously wouldn't say it.

He would only secretly bear grudges, and wait until later to let these guys know why the flowers were so red.

"So, you and your childhood sweetheart became teammates?"

That night, when Su Ming inadvertently mentioned this matter while talking to Xu Qianqian on the phone, Xu Qianqian was surprisingly concerned.

"Yeah." Su Ming said casually on the balcony of his dormitory, looking at the night view, "Although her joining has made me noticed in various senses, the bottom line is that our team's strength is still not outstanding, so it's not a big problem."

This was Su Ming's idea.

Su Ming, Lei Hao, and Ye Bai were not worth mentioning. The character settings of the trio had been established for a whole year and could not be changed.

Although An Zijin, Yao Beibei, and Jiang Wanyu were eye-catching in various senses, especially An Zijin, who was both the new School Belle and the new chief, they would probably attract a large wave of attention, but they were still just freshmen who had just entered the school.

Freshmen who had just entered the school, no matter how good they were, their strength was insignificant in the entire academy without much training and learning.

Like An Zijin, as the freshman chief of the Sorcerer Department, she had only learned a few low-sequence Spiritual Arts. Looking at the entire Demon Hunter Academy, her strength might be at the bottom.

Therefore, Su Ming believed that even if his team was eye-catching, it would not be assigned particularly difficult tasks due to its lack of strength.

Who would have thought that after hearing Su Ming's words, Xu Qianqian would say this.

"It seems you don't know much about your fiancée."

Xu Qianqian's words made Su Ming stunned.

I don't know much about my fiancée?

How could I not know?

Could there be anyone who knows my future wife better than me?

Su Ming was furious while having such thoughts.

But then, Su Ming was stunned again.

Wait I don't have a wife!

What the hell is a fiancée!? Σ(⊙▽⊙"a

While Su Ming stood there dumbfounded, Xu Qianqian abruptly changed the subject as if she hadn't said anything at all.

"I'm mostly done with my business. If you need to make a trade, we can do it now."

Hearing this, Su Ming's eyes lit up, and he instantly threw the nonexistent fiancée matter to the back of his mind.

"Are you sure?" Su Ming asked. "I have quite a bit of stuff on my end, you know?"

"Don't worry," Xu Qianqian replied. "The Xu Family also deals in the sale of extraordinary items. Whether you want to sell them directly for money or exchange them for other materials and items, the Xu Family should be able to meet your needs."

This casual tone revealed an extravagance that anyone could easily perceive.

Su Ming would never admit it, but at this moment, he was actually shown up by Xu Qianqian.

But precisely because he needed this kind of ostentatious show-off right now, it made him very conflicted.

Forget it, considering this rich girl is about to help him accomplish something important, he won't bother with her this time!

"Tell me, where should we make the exchange?"

Su Ming lowered his voice, creating an atmosphere of an impending shady deal.

"Just come find me here!"

After leaving these words, Xu Qianqian hung up the phone.

"This..."

Listening to the busy tone coming from the other end of the phone, Su Ming was a little slow to react.

Before long, he received a message with an address.

Longyao Base City, Mirror Lake District.

This is a high-end residential area in Longyao City, and also a wealthy area in the eyes of many.

Su Ming arrived here according to the address mentioned in the message he had just received.

At this moment, Su Ming was standing in front of the gate of an ultra-luxurious villa, gazing at the villa across a vast courtyard, his face full of bewilderment.

In front of him, the gate opened, and an extremely luxurious maid squad emerged from within, along with an elderly man dressed as a butler.

"Welcome."

The elderly butler bowed politely to Su Ming.

""Welcome!""

The maids divided into two rows around them immediately bowed and saluted, causing a clear and melodious sound to resonate in unison.

Faced with such a grand welcoming party, Su Ming still looked bewildered, and was led in by the butler in a daze, then got on a sightseeing car in a daze, and went to the ultra-luxurious villa along the courtyard path. Finally, he was still taken into the villa with a bewildered expression and arrived at a reception room.

Here, Xu Qianqian was already waiting, sitting at a small white table, drinking black tea while holding a book.

This young lady of the Xu Family was not wearing the academy uniform as usual, but a dress that was obviously worth a lot.

The ponytail that was usually tied behind her head was also untied, turning into a head of black and beautiful straight hair, hanging straight to her waist.

At this moment, Xu Qianqian no longer had the coldness she had at the academy, but only the elegance and soft beauty like a noble.

Such Xu Qianqian, like her usual aura, made people clearly realize that this person was indeed a genuine young lady from a wealthy family.

"Snap!"

Xu Qianqian closed the book in her hand and looked at Su Ming.

As a result, she only saw Su Ming's still lingering bewildered expression.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Qianqian was slightly startled and asked in confusion.

Su Ming then woke up a little, then stared at Xu Qianqian and followed his heart, saying a sentence.

"I... don't want to work hard anymore."

These words were clearly audible.

Xu Qianqian: "..."
