Chapter 158: Ghost in the Magic World - Beginning (4)

Jun Lin pursed his lips.

Seeing Shang Kui’s appearance, Jun Lin had the feeling that he knew what the real reason is.

But...

He would not pierce this thin window layer of paper.

He felt a bit complicated in his heart, but he still stretched his hand to accept the medicine offered by Shang Kui.

Because he does need it.

"Thank you," Jun Lin said gratefully.

Xiang Kui nodded and she looked at Jun Lin a few more times. After a moment, she looked like she had summoned her entire courage as she asked, "Can you... be my teammate for the graduation exams?"

"Huh?" Jun Lin, who was applying the medicine on his wounds, was stunned when he heard Shang Kui’s words.

He raised his head in surprise. "Did the Shang Family not arrange anyone to team up with you?"

No matter how useless Shang Kui is, she’s still the princess of the Shang Family. There was also some rumors that stated she was no longer the heir, though.

With Shang Su and Shang Xiyue being her cousins and far more capable than Shang Kui, it was estimated that the position of the head will fall on them. But her position as the princess of the Shang Family should never change.

As long as her father is still in charge, he would not mistreat his daughter so blatantly.

"I... I refuse..." Xiang Kui answered in a low voice and her head hung low.

Jun Lin naturally saw that Shang Kui didn’t seem to be willing to answer his question clearly, but it didn’t matter that much to him.

Anyway, it was obvious that Shang Kui couldn’t get any teammates if she didn’t follow her family arrangement. And those who listened to the Shang Family’s arrangement on the surface might not even be willing to team up with her.

Thinking about this, a hint of pity appeared in Jun Lin’s eyes that he quickly suppressed.

With his own condition, it seemed that he was not qualified to pity others.

As for Shang Kui’s request to be teammates with him?

To be honest, it worked in his favor because he did need someone to team up with him as no one was willing to team up with him right now.

"Alright. We’ll be teammates from now on." Jun Lin grinned.

Xiang Kui raised her head and looked at Jun Lin’s bright smile, feeling somewhat speechless. In Shang Kui’s memory, it was rare for Jun Lin to smile so brightly and genuinely.

So after forcing herself to think of something else, her face turned beet red.

"P...Please take care of me, teammate." Xiang Kui had a shy smile on her face, coupled with her current adorable appearance, she looked more beautiful.

Jun Lin looked at Shang Kui’s face and he rubbed his cheek with some embarrassment. No matter what, he’s also a 15 years old boy because the two of them were more or less at the same age.

"Please take care of me too." Jun Lin coughed and then looked away. "As for the last teammate... I’ll take care of it."

Because of his status, Jun Lin did have less friend and not many people were willing to befriend him. But this didn’t mean that Jun Lin had no friends at all.

In fact, he still has some friends who were good to him and could communicate together. The number was just not too big.

Xiang Kui blinked her eyes.

Based on Shang Kui’s memory of the future, she knew that Jun Lin’s friend is Duan Rong Yu, who’s also the villain for Shang Xiyue. Because the Duan Family was also very strong in the city and had great influence. As the second young master, Duan Rong Yu was also a privileged young master.

The problem is...

The relationship between the Sheng Family and the Duan Family was so bad that it would be good if the two people didn’t end up crossing blades with each other and put the knife on the other party’s neck.

Their main problem rested in the different philosophy for their behavior.

The Duan Family is extremely straightforward to the point that people would even call them having no manners.

On the other hand, Sheng Family is a traditional family that uphold tradition and their fighting methods were more stealthy.

Due to the difference in the two families’ method, they usually didn’t get along well. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Even now...

It was already good enough if they didn’t fight.

"Uhm, who do you want to invite?" Xiang Kui asked just to make sure.

"It’s Duan Rong Yu," Jun Lin admitted.

Hearing the surname Duan, Xiang Kui had the thought of ’as expected’ in her mind. But on the surface, she just looked troubled when she looked at Jun Lin.

Considering Shang Kui’s personality, she didn’t say anything.

Besides, it would be more dangerous for Jun Lin without Duan Rong Yu around.

The two of them were very powerful and they cooperated together in Shang Kui’s previous life in order to complete the mission well. Not only that, Xiang Kui remembered that their third member was someone whom Duan Rong Yu hired with money.

*cough*

Yes, Duan Rong Yu is also as rich as Shang Kui.

The two of them were basically the famous rich young master and misses in the city. The difference is that Duan Rong Yu was not useless but he was known for his behavior that liked to play around with other people.

So his popularity was not much worse than Shang Kui.

If the three of them grouped together...

Xiang Kui had the feeling that they would form the most infamous group in the entire Magic A City.

Xiang Kui blinked her eyes.

Well, it seemed to be quite interesting.

Hehehe.

Anyway, Xiang Kui didn’t really care about what other people were thinking or talking about.

Xiang Kui: "..."

She glanced at Jun Lin in front of her and blinked her eyes innocently, hoping that he would not think that she was not the real Shang Kui.
