Zhang Jixin was stunned, as if he had been hit by a immobilizing spell; Fatty Xin seemed to have been hit with a stick on the back of his head. There was a hint of confusion in his confused eyes, and he even raised his hand to pick out his ears, as if he thought he was hearing things.
On the other hand, Xiao Xiao and Jiang Yu remained calm to a certain extent.
It's just that Xiao Xiao's calmness was more like he was holding back. The jade bowl he held in his hand was tilted, and half of the cold dew inside was spilled without even noticing; while Jiang Yu's calmness revealed a trace of suddenness.
That suddenness inexplicably made Zheng Qing feel uneasy.
"Su Shijun."
The young public-funded student gathered his thoughts and repeated the name word for word - since he had to tell them the name sooner or later, it would be better to do it simply. If he was coy at this time, it would make him feel guilty - and at the same time, he explained thoughtfully.
Said: "...She is the owner of Qingqiu Mansion, the senator of Yuexia Council... I confirmed that she serves as a researcher mentor at the Institute of Applied Magic and is qualified as a mentor."
"Is this a question of eligibility?"
Zhang Jixin looked confused. He looked at Zheng Qing and then at the other companions, as if he wanted to see joking expressions on everyone's faces: "Qualifications? Su Shijun?"
"cough."
Fatty Xin coughed dryly, glared at the red-faced wizard, then took a step forward, walked to Zheng Qing, patted his shoulder, and said seriously:
"Captain, I... and everyone knows that you have been under a lot of mental pressure these days... If you can't find a suitable instructor, you won't be able to compete. This is a denial of all of our efforts over the past year...
But no matter how stressed you are, you shouldn’t just make fun of a great wizard’s name.”
Seemingly noticing Zheng Qing's intention to defend himself, the fat wizard quickly raised his index finger, waved it in front of his face, and said: "I know, I know, when you are under great pressure, making some irrelevant jokes can very well adjust the atmosphere.
...But now is not the time for joking. Also..."
As he said that, he raised his wrist, looked at the time, and added: "...there are less than twenty-six hours left, the selection mission is about to end, what we should do now is to collect the cold dew quickly, and then go back and work hard
Get some sleep and wake up tomorrow morning with renewed energy to choose a more suitable goal."
Zheng Qing twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling a little bit dumbfounded.
Before, he had guessed the reactions of many of his companions - for example, Zhang Jixin grabbed his shoulders and shook him hard, asking him to confess his relationship with Su Shijun; for example, Fatty Xin took out his quill and notepad and wrote a gossip manuscript crazily; and for example, Xiao
Laughing and peeling off the cocoon, what can you deduce from the subtle connection between Neptune and Poseidon and the many signs in the past?
He was fully mentally prepared for these.
The only thing I didn't expect was that the fat wizard's first reaction was disbelief.
Not only did he not believe it, but he also found a logical and sound reason for this "disbelief", so that Zhang Jixin immediately showed a hint of surprise on his face after hearing this, and looked at Zheng Qing with a bit of apology and pity.
"do not think too much."
The red-faced wizard also took a step forward and patted the young public-sponsored student's shoulder comfortingly: "My brother also said that You Zui is a very good hunting team... We can't participate in the later competition, it's the school hunt.
The loss caused by the union is due to an omission in the rules of the student union and has nothing to do with you... But as the fat man said just now, no matter how much pressure you have, you can't just make fun of a great wizard..."
Zheng Qing smiled bitterly and took a step back, raising three fingers.
"I'm not kidding, it's really Su Shijun." He looked around, without a trace of evasion in his eyes, and emphasized again: "Congressman Su will serve as the instructor of the Exoneration Hunting Team. I have submitted relevant materials to the hunting committee."
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
The night is cool and the night breeze is blowing. Apart from the low hum of unknown insects and the rustling of grass blades, there is only the slow and dull sound coming from the depths of the earth in the distance, which is the tireless earth dragon dredging the earth.
context.
The next second.
Zhang Jixin grabbed Zheng Qing's arm like lightning, his face turned red, and his voice was a little high-pitched due to excitement: "Are you telling the truth?!"
"Hiss!" Zheng Qing sucked in the cold air, and while trying to pump his arms, he nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice: "It really can't be true anymore! Why should I lie to you when I will know the news tomorrow morning?"
Snapped!
Zheng Qing's other arm was also grabbed.
He turned around and saw a blue palm as big as a cattail leaf fan and a blue face, with a pair of dark eyes shining brightly in the night.
"Su, Shi, Jun?!"
Fatty Xin stamped his foot hard every time he said a word. Zheng Qing could vaguely feel that the earth dragon rolling in the waves in the distance was raising its head in confusion and looking over here, as if curious about what happened in the garden.
"I bet that starting tomorrow, we will become the most dazzling hunting team in the entire school, no, the entire Phuket Island, no, no, the entire league!"
The fat wizard, who was a reporter, was obviously very aware of the sensitivity of this news. He analyzed it quickly with a sharp voice: "Su Shijun's new position? No, no, it's too ordinary... Shocking! She actually chose an unknown person!
...It's vulgar, it's vulgar... Well, before this report, I should first describe the forgiveness... The selection of the champion of the freshman competition? The student hunting team in the battle of the black prison?...Nian Xiajun and Yu Jie had to
The story you told? Oh, no, is there a Nianxiajun who is as fat as me? No, if such a lewd topic is published, I will be put in a sack and beaten to death in the gutter!"
Apparently, he had already planned out the topics of several news articles in his mind, and even had various titles.
Zheng Qing looked at the crazy fat wizard and listened to his inconsistent words. He wanted to take two calming charms for him, but both of his arms were tightly grasped and he couldn't take them out even if he wanted to.
But these two guys have to calm down quickly.
Otherwise, the wizard was worried that he would be torn in half by the emotional two people.
Xiao Xiao spoke at the right time and solved this problem for Zheng Qing: "Can you tell me how you invited Councilor Su Shijun?"
He adjusted his glasses, his eyes full of curiosity - this expression was rarely seen on the doctor's face - and repeated slowly but clearly: "No matter which way you think about it, Su Shijun agreed to serve as the guide of our hunting team.
Teacher, this is a very incredible thing...She could have had a better choice."
The words fell.
The excited fat man and the elder calmed down at the same time, and looked at the young public-funded student together.
Zheng Qing swallowed quietly. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt his arms being held tighter by his two companions.
