Liu Shui

When Yunxuan said this, many people covered their mouths and laughed. Li Luan looking at Yun Xuan aggrievedly.

Yunxuan pretended not to notice and continued speaking, "But does that make a difference if you dislike it? You are all in the same institute, and you can't avoid bumping into one another. Since it is unavoidable, why don't we accept it calmly? Try to get along with one another. Maybe getting along wouldn't be that bad? You're only going to participate in the match with him once, and only for as long as four days and three nights. If you really can't get along after the four days and three nights, you have no reason to meet up. But have you ever thought about me? I have to live in the same house with him, and I could not avoid bumping into him all the time!"

After hearing Yunxuan, Shi Houqiu and the others felt that it was no longer a problem for them. At least they only had to get along for four days and three nights, but Yunxuan had to spend far more time with him!

In the end, everyone reluctantly agreed to let Li Ruan join their team.

On one night, as the moon was high above the trees, Yunxuan walked down a narrow aisle. She had kept Bingyue into the spirit beast space. 'Tomorrow she is going to enter the Black Falls Valley Forest, and she could not begin to speculate what kind of dangers she would face. It would be good for him to recharge his energy!'

"Come out!" Yunxuan suddenly shouted.

A figure loomed behind her. Upon hearing Yunxuan's words, he walked out wittily.

"It's you?" Yunxuan was astonished.

The man scratched his head and smiled, "It's just me!"

That person turned out to be Qian Shangchen.

"Why are you here?" When it came to him keeping his vows, she was still very much moved by him.

"Have you heard about that match the principal mentioned today? Come with me midget so I can take care of you!" Qian Shangchen still did not know that Yunxuan was the teaching assistant of Class Seven.

Yunxuan pursed her lower lip and said, "I'm already with Class 7!"

"Huh?" Qian Shangchen was a little surprised. "Those people in that class, aren't they… Can they even take care of you?"

Although Qian Shangchen had not been explicit with his words, Yunxuan caught on and said, "They are not trash!"

Her voice was a little cold. Although his vows moved her very much, it did not mean that he could talk about her students like this.

'To accept and defend their shortcomings!

'This was also one of her strengths.'

Qian Shangchen was stunned and explained, "Um, I didn't mean that, Midget. I just wanted to protect you!"

"You can join us!" Yunxuan said. She knew Qian Shangchen was rather strong, and they needed strong players in their team.

"Alright!" He could protect Yunxuan this way. The team did not matter to him.

The sun was rising and groups of students stood outside the Black Waterfall Valley Forest.

Yunxuan was still dressed in a red attire and red robe. Her alluring face was as cold as frost.

"Qiye!"

The students from Class Seven came up to Yunxuan to report themselves. Yunxuan nodded and her icy demeanor melted, if just a little.

This was what she had requested them to do. In this Black Waterfall Valley Forest mission, she was not their assistant teacher, but their comrade!

So she had allowed them to call her by her name.

Qian Shangchen arrived later. He came to Yunxuan and shouted, "Qiye, I'm here!"

Yunxuan raised his head and looked at him.

The edges of Qian Shangchen's lips curled into a smile, giving people a warm and harmless feeling.

Even more ice melted off Yunxuan's face!

"Oh, Qiye!"

As soon as this voice came out, everyone felt a darkness loom over their heads!

The frost on Yun Xuan's face was all frozen. Cold, misty air seemed to surround her body.

In the face of the terrifying frost demon, Li Luan hurriedly fell silent.

The students of Class Seven snickered. Of them all, Shi Houqiu was the one snickering the most.

Today, Shi Houqiu had abided by Yunxuan's words and got rid of the female uniform. Shi Houqiu looked quite handsome in the men's uniform.

"May I join you?" A soothing voice rang behind Yunxuan. Yunxuan turned around and looked at him.

He wore a half-mask made of white jade on his face. It exuded a warm jade luster.

Since his face could not be seen, only his black pupils were visible outside his mask.

Those black pupils were extremely black and deep. They were darker than the moonless midnight and deeper than the abyss.

The corners of his exposed mouth bent into a perfect arc. Unexpectedly, his appearance did not disgust the surrounding people.

Yunxuan always felt that he was a little familiar, but she could not point her finger precisely as to who it was. Yunxuan nodded at him and said, "Welcome!"

The man laughed and said, "My name is Liushui!"

"Liushui!"

Yunxuan mentioned the name softly in her heart. She found it a little strange.

The Black Falls Valley Forest — as you could tell by its name — was a place composed of waterfalls, valleys and forests. Only night fell there and there was no daylight.

Unlike Sun Never Set Forest, this place was not encompassed by a large area where the sun never set. As the top of the massive trees met and formed a large canopy, no sunlight ever reached the ground.

"The moment we set foot here, the mission has already started. Remember, our team down not abandon, does not give up, always unites and shares honor and disgrace as a team. Who here is not confident in upholding these values at all times?" On Yunxuan's young and tender face, there was completely no sign of naivety the people of her same age should have.

"No!" replied everyone.

"Very well, we only have one chance to request for help. After requesting for help, we are automatically failed. Therefore, we absolutely cannot request for help unless it is our last resort. Are you clear about this?"

"Clear!"

"In that case, let us strive hard together!" Yunxuan curled his lips and stretched out a hand. One after another, everyone stretched out their hands. A dozen hands overlapped one another. Then, they shouted in unison, "Strive hard, strive hard, strive hard!"

After traversing the Black Falls Valley Forest for a day, Yunxuan and her team never encountered any spirit beasts, which disappointed everyone.

"Damn it, why isn't there even a single spirit beast?" Xin Hao stretched out and tried to tear off the grass by the roadside to release his anger.

"Stop it!" Yunxuan turned her head and happened to spot what he was doing. She rushed to Xin Hao and grabbed his hand.

Xin Hao stiffened up.

To his surprise, the grass felt tender and slippery.
