Sis, I Support You in Pursuing Her

The next day, Chen Daolin, Ji Xuan, and Lin Xiao, three good friends from high school, gathered at a cafe in Yangzhou City.

Nowadays, Chen Daolin and Ji Xuan have become martial artists, and at the end of this month, they are set to report to the Elite Training Camp at the Extreme Martial Arts Hall headquarters. It will likely be difficult for them to return to Yangzhou City in the future. Meanwhile, Lin Xiao has been admitted to the Jiangnan Second Military Academy and will also leave Yangzhou City for the main urban area once the semester begins. Fearing that opportunities to meet will become increasingly rare, Chen Daolin couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy.

Lin Xiao held her cup with both hands, resting her chin on the table, and said resentfully, "You two are really inseparable now, even going abroad together. Honestly, when are you going to treat me to wedding candy? Ouch, why did you hit me?"

Ji Xuan wore a polite, slightly awkward smile as she took her hand off the top of Lin Xiao's head.

Chen Daolin was already used to Lin Xiao's lack of a filter and knew she was joking, so he didn't mind. He speared a piece of cake and stuffed it into her mouth, laughing and scolding, "Find someone for yourself before you start talking about us."

Lin Xiao chewed the cake and hummed, "I'm so pretty; there will be plenty of people chasing me in college, so why should I worry? It's you two I'm worried about—one is heartless and the other is cold and boring. I'm afraid that by the time my grandchildren are born, you two still won't have partners."

Chen Daolin: "..."

Ji Xuan: "..."

Spitting out such brutal truths!

Lin Xiao sighed, "I really didn't expect that I, Lin Xiao, would one day have two genius martial artists as good friends. By the way, once you enter that Elite Training Camp, you'll be Gods of War when you come out, right? Wow, doesn't that mean I'll have two Gods of War as friends? I'll never be afraid of being bullied by others again."

Compared to Chen Daolin and Ji Xuan, Lin Xiao was indeed an ordinary girl without any special traits.

However, the bond between them was pure and sincere.

That was why Chen Daolin enjoyed the casual feeling of being with Lin Xiao, even if she was always blunt.

At that moment, a voice of surprise suddenly came from nearby.

"Ji Xuan?"

"Hmm?"

The three of them looked toward the sound and saw a suave, handsome young man in a white suit standing not far away with a look of pleasant surprise on his face. Beside him was a stunning woman in a bright red dress with an outstanding temperament.

"Xu Lei?" Ji Xuan hesitated for a moment before recognizing that this somewhat familiar face was her classmate from three years of high school.

Xu Lei seemed completely unexpected to run into Ji Xuan here, so he walked over quickly, his face full of smiles. "Ji Xuan, why are you here? Long time no see, how have you been?"

"I... I'm fine." Ji Xuan felt completely uncomfortable under Xu Lei's burning gaze.

Chen Daolin and Lin Xiao looked at the enthusiastic Xu Lei, then at the restless Ji Xuan, and exchanged a glance, their eyes conveying the question of whether there was something going on between them.

"Little brother, who is this? Aren't you going to introduce me?" The stunning woman in the red dress walked over, her beautiful phoenix eyes sweeping over the three of them thoughtfully before finally resting on Ji Xuan.

Xu Lei gave an awkward smile. "Oh, I almost forgot. Everyone, this is my sister, Xu Ranran. Sis, these three are my high school classmates: Ji Xuan, Chen Daolin, and Lin Xiao." He finally remembered there were two other people beside Ji Xuan.

Xu Ranran said indifferently, "Oh."

Her attitude was cold.

Xu Ranran was very unhappy. Her younger brother was the dignified second young master of the Xu Family and the future heir to the family; how could he be so enthusiastic with high school classmates who were just ordinary people? Most importantly, she could see that her brother, Xu Lei, seemed to have a great fondness for that tall, beautiful girl with the unique temperament, Ji Xuan. That was the reason for her dissatisfaction.

A young master of the Xu Family shouldn't be interested in an ordinary woman.

Therefore, Xu Ranran couldn't be bothered to hide her feelings and displayed her coldness directly. After all, they were just ordinary people from the bottom of society, and there were plenty of such people who were sycophantic. Xu Ranran wondered if this Ji Xuan knew her brother's identity and was deliberately trying to climb the social ladder of the Xu Family.

Heh, do these women have no self-awareness at all?

Xu Ranran felt it would be necessary to remind her brother later not to be delayed by the woman in front of them.

"Little brother, the eldest daughter of the Yang Family is still waiting for us. It wouldn't be good to keep her waiting for too long, so let's go." Xu Ranran smiled.

Xu Xin's expression stiffened slightly before returning to normal. He put on an apologetic look and said to the calm Ji Xuan and the others, "Let's chat next time."

Watching the Xu siblings leave, Chen Daolin said to Ji Xuan, "Does he like you?"

Lin Xiao looked at Chen Daolin speechlessly. I called you heartless, and you really are heartless. How can you ask a girl such a question so directly?

She looked at Ji Xuan with a serious face and turned her head, "Does Xu Lei like you?"

Ji Xuan: "..."

Meanwhile, the departing Xu siblings were also having their own conversation.

"Little brother, do you like that girl named Ji Xuan?" As the eldest daughter of the Xu Family, Xu Ranran exerted her imposing manner to interrogate her brother.

Xu Lei hesitated for a moment, but finally, a look of determination appeared on his face. "Yes." He did like Ji Xuan; that had never changed, but he wasn't sure if Ji Xuan had any feelings for him.

Xu Ranran was exasperated. "You are my brother, the second young master of the Xu Family. How can you like an ordinary woman? I'm telling you, you'd better cut this out and listen to the family's arrangements for a blind date, or I'll tell Mom and Dad about this."

The Xu Family was one of the twelve major families of the HR Alliance in Huaxia. As the second young master of the Xu Family and the person most likely to inherit the family in the future, his marriage was no longer something he could decide alone; it could affect the entire family.

"Sis..." Xu Lei said helplessly. "I'll handle my own affairs."

"Calling me 'sis' won't help."

In a private room at the cafe, two young girls were sitting together chatting. One of them was none other than Zhuge Qing.

"Qingqing, it was hard enough for you to come over, and yet I'm troubling you to accompany me on this blind date. I'm really sorry." The beautiful girl in the white dress held Zhuge Qing's hand apologetically.

"It's fine, Leilei. I was bored anyway, so consider it me keeping you company to relax." Zhuge Qing looked a bit more haggard than before, though her complexion was still decent.

"I heard the person your family arranged for you this time is from the Xu Family?" Zhuge Qing asked.

"Yes, the second young master of the Xu Family, I think his name is Xu Lei." Yang Lei felt a bit helpless. In truth, she had an instinctive aversion to blind dates, but she couldn't go against her family's wishes and had to come to deal with it.

"By the way, Qingqing, I heard you participated in the Martial Artist Practical Examination a few days ago. How did it go?" Yang Lei asked curiously.

"I..." Zhuge Qing recalled the terrifying Rat Tide from the depths of her memory, thinking of Han Lei, and then of Chen Daolin and Ji Xuan, her expression turning somewhat somber. These matters had all been weighing on Zhuge Qing's heart, unable to be shared with outsiders. Since she happened to be with her sister today, Zhuge Qing simply decided to pour out these worries to Yang Lei.

"So that's how it is. Are those people who saved you, Chen Daolin and Ji Xuan, really going to the Extreme Martial Arts Hall Elite Training Camp?" Yang Lei couldn't help but grab Zhuge Qing's hand to ask.

At this moment, Xu Lei and Xu Ranran pushed the door open and entered, just in time to hear Yang Lei's words.

"..."

After Yang Lei and Zhuge Qing left, Xu Ranran and Xu Lei sat in the private room. Xu Ranran suddenly said, "Little brother, I take back what I said before."

"Sis?" Xu Lei was puzzled.

"That Ji Xuan, you can still try to pursue her."

"..."
