Chapter 935: TEAM MEETING (2)WHEN YUN made that announcement, there was a smallmotion in the team. Because everyone knew their captain''s secret crush on YUN. They had been walking on eggshells around her since then. They were also trying their best not to mention YUN around her.


    Although their captain didn''t show any particr reaction to the news, anyone who knew her enough could tell that she was affected by it.


    Xia Li felt sorry for the captain, but there''s a side of her that was actually hoping that the ''partner'' YUN was referring to was actually Noctis. Yes, that''s a bit horrible of her. After all, Zhu Lian was probably really heartbroken because of that. But her fujoshi heart just couldn''t help itself from wishing that her ship would sail.


    She could probably ask Bai Ze about it. But that would be encroaching on other''s privacy. Which she had no right to, considering that she and YUN were not even friends.


    Since that announcement, she''d been drawing a lot of fan-arts about the two. All of them stored in her cloud ount and hadn''t yet seen the light of the day. Many of her followers had been asking her when she would upload a new NightCloud fan-art. But she still hadn''t posted anything for a few days now since YUN''s announcement.


    Because she wasn''t sure who YUN''s partner was, she felt that posting a fan-art of him and Noctis would be a kind of disrespect. Because what if Noctis wasn''t YUN''s partner? Then, wouldn''t she indirectly hurt someone just because of her inclination?


    "Really, what could Sister possibly see in that YUN?" Zhu Jingyi mumbled. "She could do a lot better if she only stop moping over that guy."


    Xia Li once again nced at Zhu Jingyi. Since she was the closest to the other, she was the only one who heard it.


    "You know, technically, YUN hasn''t really done anything to Captain," she said. "So, it''s kind of unfair to judge him like that."


    Zhu Jingyi frowned. Of course, she knew that. But she really didn''t care. That guy made her sister cry. That alone was enough for her to hate YUN.


    She still remembered how her sister cried during that one incident at Yunxing Pavilion. YUN had said something to her sister that made her cry. Either he rejected her that night, or he said something harsh that was enough for her sister to bawl her eyes out like that.


    Whatever it was, it was still that guy''s fault. So, could you me her for disliking him?


    "I hope we can face them during preliminaries," Zhu Jingyi muttered. "Then, I''ll make sure to kick Yunyue''s ass."


    "That would be a bit hard since you''re still not part of the regr line up," Xia Limented.


    Zhu Jingyi red at her. "Which side are you on, really?"


    Xia Li raised her hands as if in surrender. "Hey, I''m just saying. And I''m always on the side of fairness. But if you really want to be part of the line-up, then I suggest you leveled up your training."


    "Don''t worry, I''m already doing that."


    ----------


    At a castle that looked like a ce where Drac woulde out at any second…


    "So, Yunyue has really registered for the next season of the Cup?" Xu Ru asked in a mixture of amazement and disbelief.


    He had been abroad for the past month. It was a European tour. It''s not exactly for pleasure but for educational purposes. He was there to take photos that he would exhibit for his final graduation project.


    It might be weird for some that a person who''s in hisst year of university could actually go on a trip outside the country at the middle of a semester. But he''s a talented photography major, who also happened to be very rich. So, it''s not really that weird.


    He hadn''t been updated in the things that were happening in the game. Now that he returned, he suddenly heard that Yunyue had registered for the next season of the Cup.


    "Yes," Qin Rushi answered. "They''re the first one''s who cleared the newly released dungeon. They''re obviously trying to get enough reputation points to be able to participate in the Cup."


    The newly released dungeon? It seemed that Yunyue still hadn''t lost their touch. – Xu Ru thought.


    "And, well, Yuqi told me about it when I asked her," Qin Rushi added.


    "Ah, yes. You''re friends with that twerp," Xu Ru said with an annoyed face.


    He still couldn''t forget what she and that other twerp did to him. Putting a bounty on his head, and even doing that to him on the ball after the Rookie Carnival. Well, it seemed that he would have his revenge soon once the Cup started.


    "Don''t smile like that. You look creepy," Qin Rushimented while looking at Xu Ru''s smiling face.


    Xu Ru chuckled and put his arm around Qin Rushi''s shoulders. "Princess, how can you say that? We haven''t seen each other in a month and you''re already calling me ''creepy''? How heartless. Didn''t you miss me at all?"


    Qin Rushi only gave Xu Ru a dry look. "Remove your hand or I''ll cut it."


    "Aw… Princess, how can you be so mean?" Xu Ru said, acting as if he was heartbroken.


    Qin Rushi only gave him a pointed nce.


    Xu Ru raised both hands as if in surrender. "Fine, fine."


    "Since you''re already done with your little theatrics, I believe you would want the team to do some training, am I right?"


    "You know me so well," Xu Ru said giving the other a thumbs-up. "Tell the others that we will have extensive training at Heaven''s Spire."


    "You do know it''s hard to reserve a room, much less a floor at the Spire during this season."


    Xu Ru only grinned at Qin Rushi. "But knowing you, I know you have long reserved a floor for us."


    Qin Rushi scoffed. "Just be thankful that I''m always ready."


    "That''s why I love you, princess," Xu Ru said with a wink.


    Qin Rushi rolled her eyes. "Whatever."
