Fan Lei nodded slightly, unable to control a yawn.

 

Feeling drowsy, he lightly rubbed his somewhat dizzy forehead and left the tent under Xie Wenyuan's gaze.

 

"Old Xie, why did you just arrive?"

 

At this moment, Su Wen walked out from one side with a smile on his face, holding a steaming teapot in his hand, and poured a cup for Xie Wenyuan:

 

"No, I remember this morning, Chronicle asked me who you were, you should have arrived then, right?"

 

As he spoke, he pushed the enamel cup to the other side, and joked with a smile: "Tell me! Did you old boy know in advance that we were changing the training plan and went to slack off?"

 

"Do you think everyone is like you?" Xie Wenyuan pushed his glasses: "I was temporarily assigned a task by the president, and I was busy outside all day, and I haven't even had a sip of water until now……"

 

Then, he picked up the cup, disregarding the scalding heat, and took a big gulp of hot tea, then he let out a long sigh of relief:

 

"As soon as the matter was over, I rushed back. Speaking of which, the formal training will start tomorrow morning. Can your last-minute rework plan work? Do you need me to modify it again?"

 

"No need to bother, Old Xie." Su Wen chuckled: "Both President Fan and I come from the military. After years of learning and practicing under Uncle Wen and Uncle Dong, we know how to train people."

 

Su Wen said, pointing to his forehead with two fingers: "To put it bluntly, everything is here. The plan is just for the convenience of you pen-pushers. Whether it is changed or not doesn't matter, we can just adapt to the situation at that time."

 

"In my opinion, it's better to plan more carefully."

 

Xie Wenyuan leaned back in his office chair, his eyes slightly closed, and said with some fatigue: "Isn't Chronicle's matter an example? The plan was rough, not only hurting the child's heart, but also not gaining any benefits."

 

"Yes."

 

Su Wen nodded and subconsciously said: "But, Old Xie, it's really strange what you said."

 

"President Fan and I are not very good at thinking, and we have to distract ourselves to control the Legion Card to ensure the safety of students. It's normal to have flaws in our analysis."

 

"But you are different… You are the smartest, even the 'Great Scenic Demon' was fooled by you in the Green Mountain Secret Realm."

 

"Now even you, a smart person, are starting to make such low-level mistakes. I suspect that our Land of Peach Card Craftsman Association is collectively suffering from senile dementia, hahaha."

 

Su Wen laughed out loud.

 

He and Xie Wenyuan have known each other for many years and their relationship is good.

 

He was just joking and didn't mean anything else.

 

However, "the speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart", Xie Wenyuan, who was originally leaning on the chair with a tired face, opened his eyes slightly when he heard this.

 

"Sigh."

 

After quickly adjusting his mood, he sighed deeply and slowly opened his eyes: "I don't know if we are senile, but we are indeed old. In the future, this Land of Peach will belong to the young people."

 

"Yes, I saw Li Baitian, the little girl from Third High School, practicing her sword under the moon last night. Her skills are much stronger than when President Fan and I were young……"

 

Su Wen was talking to himself, but Xie Wenyuan on the side took off his glasses, fumbled in his pocket for a while, took out a glasses cloth, and wiped the very clean lenses over and over again.

 

Just at this moment, someone turned on the light in the tent.

 

The light reflected on the lens, shining a bright orange light, just dazzling Su Wen who was sitting opposite Xie Wenyuan.

 

After a moment of trance, Su Wen only felt drowsy, and his thinking speed slowed down a lot, as if his brain had fallen into a boundless quagmire.

 

At this time, Xie Wenyuan suddenly spoke: "I explained the 'probe' to Chronicle this morning, and he said he understood. You should consider this matter completely over and don't mention it again in the future.

 

But just like we discussed before, after confirming his identity, we should increase our investment in him.

 

Fortunately, the kid and I have a good relationship. If there are any benefits in the future, I will take him to get them."

 

"Okay."

 

Su Wen yawned again, and a few tears flowed out, obviously extremely sleepy.

 

At this time, his brain was like sinking into a swamp, and Xie Wenyuan's words were like seeds, taking root in this swamp.

 

Even if he woke up and forgot the specific content of the conversation, Xie Wenyuan's few words would still subtly influence his subconscious.

 

"Okay, I got it."

 

Su Wen drooped his eyebrows, closed his eyes tightly, and nodded weakly.

 

After instinctively saying "I'm leaving", he staggered towards the depths of the tent.

 

***

 

Early the next morning.

 

He woke up from his sleep, only feeling his head extremely heavy and occasionally throbbing, a bit like the feeling after a hangover.

 

However, he, who had been using the Legion Card, a big mana consumer, for many years, was used to headaches and dizziness, so he didn't care much.

 

After getting up and stretching, he simply washed up and walked straight towards the direction of the Tombstone Villa Group.

 

It was six o'clock in the morning, and because it was early autumn, the sky was not yet bright, and the morning wind was frighteningly cold.

 

But when Su Wen passed by an open space near the Tombstone Group, he saw the students gathering here in groups of three or five.

 

Each of them was shivering from the cold, obviously they had been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing him approach, Zhao Wenying, the class leader of the Second High School's elite class, immediately jogged over to him, her face serious as she said, "Teacher, the Second High School's training personnel have all assembled."

 

This was followed by two more reports, then came "First High School is all present" and "Peach and Plum have assembled."

 

The students from Third High School, however, were looking at each other in confusion.

 

Reporting might seem like a small matter, but the underlying significance was extraordinary: normally, this task should be carried out by the leader of a school.

 

However, as they were the first batch to arrive at the training location, the Third High School's card-making major hadn't had time to elect a new student council president and elite class leader, and the leader was not yet determined.

 

But after experiencing the "Meat Mountain Mystery" and the "Fusion Faction Incident", everyone knew that Chronicle's strength at this moment was far superior to theirs.

 

Therefore, they all tacitly turned their gaze in his direction.

 

After about half a minute of this, Chronicle could no longer bear these strange looks and stepped out of the line, loudly announcing, "Third High School is all present."

 

From this moment on, whether he liked it or not, he had become the "mainstay" of the Third High School, the so-called "soul figure."

 

However, this was a natural progression of events, and he didn't pay it too much mind.

 

It was just that after he had shouted, the gazes coming from all directions made him feel a bit uncomfortable.

 

Fortunately, at this moment, Su Wen clapped his hands, and everyone turned their attention away.

 

Just as Chronicle thought Su Wen was helping him out, the old fellow smirked and said, "Stop staring at our classmate Chronicle, so what if he's outnumbered? It's not a big deal."
