If You Can't Beat Them, Join Them; Losing to Your Own Boss Doesn't Count as Losing-What a Win!

The next day, in the office of the Student Union vice president.

Han Yue, who hadn't returned home all night, was organizing her work and preparing to hand over most of her tasks. However, she couldn't help but recall Xiao Yan's teasing and smiling gaze from yesterday, as well as the seemingly gentle yet penetrating looks from Senior Sister Xun'er and Xiao Yi Xian Sister Xiao Yixian.

But how could I not be tempted by someone as outstanding as Senior Xiao Yan?

"Well..."

She sighed softly and rubbed her temples.

Speaking of which, yesterday afternoon, Xun'er Sister Xun'er and Xiao Yi Xian Yixian said that starting today, they would officially take over the affairs of the Student Union so that they would have time to cultivate. Judging by the time, it should be about time, right?

Just then, there was a rapid knock on the office door.

"Vice President Sun Qingyang, the leader of the Medicine Gang, has brought many senior members over. They say they have important matters to discuss!"

A slightly tense and surprised voice came from outside the door.

"The Medicine Gang? Sun Qingyang?" Han Yue looked up upon hearing this, startled. Did they really need a whole bunch of people to arrange a transaction?

Could they be up to no good?

But no matter what, the Student Union's spirit must not be weakened!

She took a deep breath, trying to regain her usual calm and composed demeanor as the icy vice president, and said in a deep voice:

"Please let them in."

The door was pushed open, and Sun Qingyang, dressed in an alchemist's robe, strode in first. To Han Yue's surprise, there was no imposing aura behind him as she had imagined. The core members of the Medicine Gang were all waiting respectfully in the corridor outside the door, their attitudes unusually respectful.

The anticipated hostility did not appear on the other side's face. On the contrary, Sun Qingyang and some members of the Medicine Gang even showed a kind of almost "devout" enthusiasm.

Sun Qingyang bowed deeply to Han Yue with utmost respect, then smiled and said:

"Vice President Han Yue! On behalf of all members of the Medicine Gang, Sun Qingyang earnestly requests..." Sun Qingyang's voice was loud and clear, but his words were startling, "Our Medicine Gang is willing to merge into the Student Union! From this day forward, we will follow President Xiao Yan's lead! Please convey this request to the Vice President!"

At that moment, the air seemed to freeze.

In the large office, only Han Yue's slightly rapid breathing could be heard.

She looked at Sun Qingyang, who was solemnly bowing before her, and then glanced at the members of the Medicine Gang outside the door, who were holding their breath and looking equally eager and respectful. She finally realized that she had not misheard or misseen.

The Medicine Gang, a behemoth that once monopolized the alchemy field within the Inner Academy, actually came to join them with an almost submissive attitude the very next day after Senior Xiao Yan displayed his Fifth-Grade Alchemist skills?

Han Yue: "???!!!"

Even with Han Yue's composure, she was completely stunned at this moment. Although her face still maintained the calm demeanor of an ice queen, her heart was already in turmoil.

Did she hear that right?

Senior Sun Qingyang said, "Should we follow Senior Xiao Yan's lead without question?"

Is that correct?

That's incredibly servile!

She steadied herself, then circulated her Dou Qi to calm her mind before slowly speaking:

"I didn't expect that you seniors would take the initiative to join my Student Union. This is an important matter that I cannot make a decision on my own. Please wait a moment while I go and fetch the president."

As soon as the words were spoken, the crowd parted, and Xun'er and Xiao Yi Xian came together.

"What happened?"

Xiao Yi Xian glanced at the powerful members of the Medicine Gang around her, but showed no sign of panic whatsoever.

She gained a lot from this seclusion. If a real fight broke out, she was 100% confident that she could take down all of them!

Xun'er naturally wouldn't be intimidated by these ordinary students. She also glanced around calmly before meeting Han Yue's gaze.

"Xun'er Sister Xun'er, Senior Sister Xiao Yi Xian Doctor, this is Senior Sun Qingyang, the leader of the Medicine Gang. He's brought the Medicine Gang to join our Student Union this time."

Han Yue quickly gave a brief explanation of the situation, then turned to Sun Qingyang and continued:

"These two are also vice presidents of the Student Union, and they have an excellent relationship with the president."

Han Yue simply touched upon the relationship between Xun'er, Xiao Yi Xian, and Xiao Yan, without saying anything more.

"In that case, may the two vice presidents, on behalf of President Xiao Yan, accept the entire Medicine Gang?"

Since his goal was to join the Student Union to improve his Alchemy, Sun Qingyang wouldn't put on airs. Moreover, although these two junior girls appeared to be only at the Da Dou Shi level, he instinctively sensed an extremely dangerous aura emanating from them.

As a top-tier Fourth-Grade alchemist, he always had great confidence in his perception abilities.

"Want to join the Student Union?"

Upon hearing this, Xun'er and Xiao Yi Xian were also somewhat surprised.

Although Xiao Yan's evaluation of Sun Qingyang was quite good yesterday, no one could have predicted what would happen today.

"We naturally welcome senior students to join the Student Union. However, the Student Union has a lot of rules and regulations to follow. I think we should let Senior Sun know about these beforehand and make sure he can accept them before discussing joining the Student Union."

Xiao Yi Xian and Xun'er entered the office, and then the former spoke slowly and deliberately.

After all, he was the leader of a sect in his previous life, and his words carried a certain authority and tone that made him someone not to be underestimated.

"Of course, I already inquired about it yesterday. The Student Union's rules and regulations have some limitations, but they also have many benefits. Since we've already decided to join the Student Union, we naturally have no problem with that."

Upon hearing this, Sun Qingyang smiled faintly and said, his elegant alchemist robe accentuating his extraordinary demeanor.

"In that case..." Xiao Yi Xian nodded, turned to look at Han Yue, and smiled, "Junior Sister Han Yue, please call someone over to register all our new members."

"Good!"

Although everyone was a vice president, Han Yue naturally understood her position and wouldn't be dissatisfied with Xiao Yi Xian ordering her around. She nodded and gave Sun Qingyang a rather elegant nod to express her apology for her absence. Then she went out and found two members in charge of the matter.

"Since Senior Sun was able to lead the Medicine Gang to join our Student Union, then our Student Union will naturally not let you seniors down."

Xiao Yi Xian politely said something, then continued, "Regarding the Medicine Gang joining the Student Union, I have made the following arrangements."

Upon hearing this, Han Yue signaled to her two subordinates to begin taking notes.

"First, the Student Union establish a new department, the Alchemy Hall, to uniformly manage the existing alchemists and newly joined members of the Medicine Gang. To avoid criticism from laymen, the Alchemy Hall will have a certain degree of autonomy. The hall will have one head and two deputy heads. The head head's authority is second only to the president and above the deputy president."

Upon hearing this, Sun Qingyang's eyes lit up.

If that's the case, then that would be perfect!

"Regarding the selection of the three hall masters, it is currently proposed that Xiao Yan concurrently serve as the hall master, Senior Sister Yao Ling concurrently serve as the deputy hall master, and Senior Brother Sun Qingyang serve as the deputy hall master. What does Senior Brother Sun think?"

After speaking, Xiao Yi Xian looked up at Sun Qingyang.

Upon hearing this, Sun Qingyang remained silent for a moment before nodding with a serious expression.

He would certainly accept being made the Xiao Yan master, but becoming the deputy hall master means his authority within the Student Union has been significantly reduced.

"Since senior has no objections, then it's settled. You will be fully responsible for the appointment of the hall's officers. Senior Sister Yao Ling and Xiao Yan will not interfere too much in management matters. Their responsibilities will mainly focus on the ability assessment and performance evaluation of the hall's alchemists. You can make most decisions on your own."

Xiao Yi Xian would never allow the Medicine Gang to become a small group within the Student Union. She would then use subsequent methods to completely integrate the members of the Medicine Gang into the Student Union.

It's not about making them forget their roots, but about letting them completely seal their identity as Medicine Gang into history. When they graduate, they will identify themselves as members of the Student Union.

As for the Medicine Gang, that can only be their past path, and it will never be their future.

Hearing Xiao Yi Xian say this, Sun Qingyang's brows relaxed considerably.

In fact, he acknowledged Xiao Yan and Yao Ling's Yao Tian abilities and talents.

If the two of them were only responsible for professional matters such as training alchemists, then for him, it would be equivalent to having two more powerful helpers, and the benefits would be even greater.

"Yes, Vice President Xiao Yi Xian has no objection to this arrangement. As for the members of the Medicine Gang, we had already discussed it before coming. We came to the Student Union because we value President Xiao Yan's Alchemy and talent. By following him, we will become better versions of ourselves. As for positions, they are not important."

Sun Qingyang nodded, and the matter was settled.

Then came some negotiations on details. Since everyone in the Medicine Gang understood that their target was Xiao Yan, they readily agreed to all the conditions, which did not involve shares.

They knew all too well what a monster a 12-year-old Fifth-Grade Alchemist was!

In the entire Yao Realm, he is a unique and earth-shattering figure.

Such a large-scale operation by the Medicine Gang naturally could not be kept secret from the various forces within the Inner Academy.

Therefore, that afternoon, when the members of the Medicine Gang began to build their residences in the Freshman District, the entire Inner Academy was shocked!

Just because of a competition, the entire Medicine Gang joined the Student Union?

This is outrageous!

What's the point?

How could a business built up over so many years be handed over to someone else so easily?

For a moment, many people found it hard to believe. Some powerful figures on the Strong Ranking List who were on good terms with Sun Qingyang couldn't help but send messages, saying that if Sun Qingyang was being coerced, they should definitely speak up and they would not stand idly by.

Sun Qingyang scoffed at this.

Coercion?

They won't just stand by and do nothing?

Hilarious! What are you babbling about?

Our entire Medicine Gang Clan must bring our talents to the Student Union! Besides, if a fight really breaks out, he can only call on the students on the Strong Ranking List, while Xiao Yan can send out a whole bunch of elders to inspect the Student Union just a word.

What do you mean by not getting involved in the power struggles within the Inner Academy? Forget about it.

Rules are rules, but people are flexible. The elders are human too; how could they possibly refuse a Fifth-Grade Alchemist?

Moreover, did they really think they were necessarily humiliated at this moment?

Wrong!

Although he lost five trading markets to the Student Union yesterday.

But since he joined the Student Union today, it's practically the same as not losing in the trading market!

Anyway, he's now the vice president of the Student Union's Alchemy Hall, so those trading markets are still under his jurisdiction.

After rounding up, it's equivalent to him winning over a future Eighth-Grade Alchemy Grandmaster for the Medicine Gang Clan after a competition of alchemy skills!

Throughout the history of the Eye Medicine Gang, no one is more outstanding than him!

Greatness needs no further explanation!

This is not a form of wishful thinking.

Objectively speaking, this move was actually a huge win!

Medicine Gang? I think I've heard of it, but we're now the mainstay department of the Student Union, the Alchemy Hall!
