Match

Yunxuan did call out the laughing culprit. Li Luan acted just as clueless. If anything, his full attention was on Yunxuan, and he was very aggrieved. "Brother Xiaoye, you're accusing me of something I'm not. I'm a normal person!"

"Pfft!"

The laughter outside the door only grew louder!

Yunxuan banged the table fiercely, and the laughter outside the door ended spontaneously. As Yunxuan was about to utter some curse words, Li Luan looked frightened. He patted his chest with his palm and complained, "I almost died of fear, seriously. Brother Qiye, can't you be more gentle?"

"Hahaha!"

Yunxuan thought, 'That group of bastards outside the door must be laughing their stomachs out.'

Yunxuan took a few deep breaths and said, "Out with it, why did you come to see me?"

"I'm here just for the match held by the principal today!" Li Luan bit his lips, his charming eyes gave off an enchanting look.

"So what?" Yunxuan lowered her head. She did not want to see his annoying appearance.

"Our team is still short of one person and I instantly thought of you. How about it? Aren't you touched?" Li Luan said as if he had won a great honor by offering Yunxuan a spot in their team.

Yunxuan opened her mouth and prepared to refuse, but a group of people outside the door finally forced their way in. "No!"

"Just dream on!"

"The teaching assistant won't be in a team with you!"

"How could you? Why are you snatching him from me?"

"If anyone takes him away, I will slice that person into eighteen pieces!" 

In a huff, Yunxuan was dragged away by a group of people. The eleven students from Class Seven gazed at Li Luan and refused to let him take Yunxuan away.

Li Luan stood up and placed his hands on his hips. He said, "You brats, do you understand that I am a teaching assistant?"

"Tsk!" A boy dressed up in women's clothing stood up and looked at Li Luan disdainfully. He said, "Except for our teaching assistant, all the other teaching assistants are trash in our eyes!"

Li Luan started fuming with rage. "You, how dare you address me like this?"

"Hmph!" Shi Houqiu did not seem to be afraid of him at all and said, "So what if I am? If it weren't for your good-looking appearance, I wouldn't even bother about you! You stupid old man!"

"Old? I'm old?" Li Luan suddenly cried out, "I'm not old! I'm now at the time where I'm strong, vigorous, young, and at my prime. How dare you say I am old? You are all little stunted brats!"

"Who is not grown up here?" Shi Houqiu cried out, "I have a face of such beauty that fish sink into the water when they see me, the moon and flowers blush when they see me, I make an entire city fall, and I'm a national-level beauty! I'm the envy of countless people! Hmph, if you're jealous of me, just say it, do you need to slander me like this? Old man, you will never be able to return to that time where you were high-spirited and youthful like me!"

"Nonsense!" 

Li Luan opened his mouth to continue the argument. Yunxuan could not stand it anymore, so she let out a loud roar, "Shut up, everyone!"

The two fell silent.

"You!" Yunxuan stood in front of Shi Houqiu and said with a cold face, "Tomorrow, you have to change back to men's clothing. I warn you, if you dare to wear women's clothing in the future, I will immediately turn you into a woman!"

Li Luan covered his mouth and chuckled.

Yunxuan turned her head and stared at him fiercely. Li Luan swallowed hard and said, "Brother Qiye…"

"Shut up!" Yunxuan said fiercely, "If I hear you calling me Brother Qiye again, then watch out for your 'little brother'!"

Li Luan hurriedly covered his mouth with one hand and covered his privates with the other.

"From now onwards, if I ever hear both of you bickering like maidens, I'm going to make you regret it!"

Not a single person dared to breathe.

"I…"

Li Luan and Shi Houqiu protested at the same time. Yunxuan shot a glare at them. They both shut their mouths consciously and said, "I!"

"I!"

"Spit it out!" Yunxuan turned around and sat down in the chair.

"I want to invite you to join our team!" Shi Houqiu practiced it in his heart before opening his mouth.

"I… I also want to invite you to join our team, X-Xiaoye!" Li Luan almost misspoke, but fortunately, he managed to stop himself in time.

"I will be with the students in our class!" Yunxuan said decisively.

Xin Hao and the others were clearly in high spirits. Shi Houqiu looked at Li Luan triumphantly — the pride in his eyes apparent.

"But…" Yunxuan observed all the emotions in their eyes and continued saying, "Even with me, the team only has twelve people, and there are still three more places. If you are willing to join, I don't mind!"

"I am willing to join!" Li Luan immediately expressed his thoughts.

"No!" Shi Houqiu said immediately.

Although Xin Hao and the others did not say anything, there was still a clear line of tension between their eyes.

Yunxuan had expected this to happen. She looked at them and said, "Each class has a maximum of 13 members. Do you know why the principal wants 15 members in each team?"

Everyone shook their heads and waited for her to carry on.

"Because the principal wants to train you to be united and more accepting of one another. He also wants to train your adaptability!" Yunxuan had come to understand what Guan Mo had said early on.

"If you can't change society, you just have to adapt to society! In my eyes, society refers to the rules of survival. In Carlos Moving Land, its rules are the survival of the fittest, and those who are strong will rule. If you are lagging behind others, you will only be eliminated. In fact, you are very lucky to have been born human with a family at your back to protect you. Even if you are a piece of trash, you will not disappear from this world immediately. However, have you given a single thought about those spirit beasts? In the world of low-level spirit beasts, the survival of the fittest and the rule of the strongest really take place. They don't understand kindness, and they don't understand empathy. As long as they win, they gain the right to determine the fate of the loser. Survival is not about staying alive. No one will change this rule of survival just because someone else can't adapt to it. You can't do plenty of the things you want to do either. You are still young. When you grow up, you will come across many people and many things. You won't like every single person you meet, and you won't enjoy doing every single thing you're bound to do. As unwilling as you are or as much as you dislike it, it will come to you. This is survival! The match looming around the corner is a very good test. I understand that you don't like Li Luan, because I don't like him too much either!"
