Fatty Xin, or any member of the Exoneration Hunting Team, does not have a very good relationship with Matthew Cullen - to be precise, any student in Astronomy Class 08-1 has a very good relationship with Matthew Cullen.
None of the young masters of the Cullen family have a very close relationship.
Matthew seems to be firmly practicing the principle of "gentlemen's friendship is as gentle as water" when dealing with everyone at Jiuyou College. He is always polite to every classmate, every professor, and even every school janitor.
, but naturally with a bit of alienation.
But no one expressed dissatisfaction with his alienation.
Everyone seems to be able to accept this slightly egotistical way of treating others.
Of course, compared with Andrew Taylor, Matthew's relationship with Zheng Qing and others can be called 'very good'. This is what Fatty Xin meant by what he just said.
Andrew easily got the key point of these words.
But he seemed a little unconcerned.
"Matthew?" The young master of the Taylor family raised the corner of his mouth slightly, with a sarcastic smile on his face: "Is that the little boy from the Cullen family? Is he the guy who took a year of preparatory classes in order to adapt to college life?
?”
"He is the first member of the Cullen family to enter Jiuyou Academy, so he will inevitably be cautious." Fatty Xin corrected Andrew's words.
At this moment, he had to stand with Matthew.
Andrew shrugged, seemingly unconcerned.
He just glanced at Zheng Qing curiously.
"I thought that among all the freshman hunting teams in this university, the only one that could not cooperate with your hunting team was the Cullen Hunting Team." The young master of the Taylor family said with a bit of regret in his tone.
Thinking: "In other words, you don't know the news yet?"
"What news?" Zheng Qing had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Elena Jones joined the Cullen Hunting Team!" Andrew calmly dropped a piece of news that made Zheng Qing angry: "...it has spread throughout the international student circle. Ms. Jones refused.
He chose to join the Cullen family's hunting team instead of a caravan hunting team formed by the new students of the Gypsy Witch Coven."
Xiao Xiao closed his notebook with a snap.
Fatty Xin gasped.
The two people looked at Zheng Qing in unison.
The young public-sponsored student had an expressionless face, and seemed to still be listening attentively to what the young master of the Taylor family was saying.
But anyone who knew him well could tell from his tightly pursed lips, gradually reddened ears, and the dull hair that popped up on the top of his head that this young wizard was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
As soon as he heard the news revealed by Andrew, Zheng Qing almost immediately recalled the scene where the Cullen vampire approached Elena's seat after the Charms class last Monday.
He gritted his teeth and tried to show an indifferent expression, trying not to lose his composure in front of the Alpha wizard.
Andrew didn't seem to notice the abnormal behavior of the Jiuyou wizards at all, and continued to chatter about his gossip:
"...Karen also took her to Sir Friedman's lounge. Although I have never entered that lounge, I heard that the terrace of that lounge is a replica of King Solomon's palace, with a '70
The classic shape of "two pillars", legend has it that the Cullen family also sealed many ferocious demons in those pillars..."
"You are a student of Alpha College, but you have never entered Sir Friedman's lounge?" Seeing Zheng Qing's face getting worse and worse, Fatty Xin immediately stepped forward and forcibly interrupted Andrew's chatter.
Andrew was stunned for a moment.
But he quickly reacted: "Oh, I'm not from Jazz... In Alpha Academy, I'm from Ouroboros."
As he spoke, he pulled up his robe, revealing the brightly colored tattoo on his neck.
As if feeling the sunlight outside was a bit dazzling, the snake-shaped tattoo twisted uneasily and moved deeper into the robe.
"...This is the spell that Mr. Soprano put on me personally." The freshman of the Alpha College said with pride: "If I get good results in this year's freshman hunting competition, Soprano
Sir also promised other rewards!"
"We actually know!" Zheng Qing finally spoke and replied loudly.
"Ah?" Andrew obviously didn't keep up with Zheng Qing's speech.
"I know about Elena joining Matthew's hunting team." Zheng Qing's face was expressionless and his tone was very sure: "...I was still there when they discussed this matter after the last spell class.
...It’s just that I didn’t expect that everyone would pay so much attention to this matter.”
Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses and glanced at the fat man.
Fatty Xin looked up at the ceiling, seeming to find the light clusters floating around above very interesting.
"Ah? Oh... I mean, yes, everyone is paying attention." Andrew was obviously a little incoherent, but he quickly adjusted himself: "So, do you ultimately choose to cooperate with the Cullen family?"
"No." Zheng Qing immediately clearly stated his position.
Xiao Xiao and Fatty Xin looked at each other and still said nothing.
"Oh... this is really good news." Andrew raised his eyebrows and his tone became brisk again: "Although I can't cooperate with you in depth, it can be considered a small step to prevent the Karen Hunting Team from gaining a powerful ally.
victory."
"I didn't refuse to cooperate with you?" Zheng Qing looked at the Alpha wizard in surprise.
"No?" Andrew's just-adjusted state collapsed again. He was stunned, and his expression became more and more confused: "I mean... I just... refused to go with the Cullen family... but didn't we also not agree?
"
"You said before that your hunting team belongs to Serprano?" Zheng Qing asked back.
"It's absolutely true." Andrew nodded fiercely.
The public-funded student was silent for a moment.
"Before... I had an agreement with Soprano." Zheng Qing looked at the young master of the Taylor family and said slowly and thoughtfully: "If there is his guarantee, then there may be a relationship between our two hunting teams.
There is room for further cooperation.”
"His guarantee?" Andrew immediately shook his head: "Mr. Soprano shouldn't bother with this kind of thing... He shouldn't guarantee anything."
"Even if it affects our cooperation?"
"Even if we can't form an alliance." Andrew frowned and shook his head hard.
Zheng Qing nodded.
"In this case... let's discuss this matter later." He clapped his hands and his tone became relaxed again: "There are still two weeks until the freshman competition, maybe we can find a way to get the best of both worlds... We
I will seriously discuss cooperation with your hunting team after I return."
Compared to his previous decisive refusal, his attitude has become significantly more relaxed.
Although Andrew was a little helpless, he showed a very understanding expression.
"Then, I'll just wait for the good news." He nodded slightly and signaled.
When they were leaving, Xiao Xiao suddenly called out to Andrew who was about to leave.
"Where did you get the news?" The doctor held the notebook with a serious expression: "For example, which hunting teams are participating in the freshmen competition, the composition of each hunting team... and, our hunting team is under the guidance of the adjudicating hunting team.
train."
Zheng Qing was horrified. He finally realized what he had overlooked before.
Andrew only hesitated for a moment, and then answered his question readily: "Because of our quasi-ally, I can tell you this news for free... Our hunting team has a very powerful fortune teller."
"Soothsayer?" Fatty Xin couldn't help but frown: "He makes so many predictions, isn't he afraid of backlash?"
"That's why I said he is a powerful fortune teller." Andrew smiled proudly and added: "Besides, everyone participating in the Freshman Hunting Competition is a young man. It would be better for him to do a little more trivial work.
OK."
"A powerful diviner?" Xiao Xiao flipped through his notebook, with a hint of surprise on his face: "It's Amber...it turns out he joined your hunting team."
Andrew's expression finally changed.
"As expected of being a doctor, he is truly worthy of his name." The young master of the Taylor family laughed dryly, then immediately apologized and left.
Zheng Qing could see that his last expression had obviously lost its previous calmness.
This made the young public-sponsored student very satisfied.
"Tell me, when will we have a meeting to discuss this alliance issue?" He turned to look at his two roommates.
Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses and glanced at him without saying a word.
Fatty Xin’s surprised voice sounded next to him:
"I thought you would prioritize how to discuss with Elena about her joining the Matthew Hunting Team!"
