Zhou Ya was silent for a moment, before saying measuredly, “Senior Li’s smile is indeed very warm and genial, but I become nervous whenever he smiles. Maybe it’s because it’s my first time interacting with Senior Li, so I’m unused to him …” Zhou Ya’s expression seemed somewhat conflicted.

Before Zhou Ya had finished speaking, Han Yu was already clapping his hands together and saying, “See! Zhou Ya feels the same way I do …”

These words made Zhou Ya smile wryly. Actually, he himself could not say why he was nervous around Li Lanfeng, but it was definitely not like Han Yu was saying, that Li Lanfeng’s smile was very fake. Li Lanfeng was obviously a kind and gentle senior — why was Regiment Commander Han Yu so against the other?

Of course, no matter how doubtful Zhou Ya was, he would not say anything, because the antagonism and strife within the upper ranks usually did not have much reason to it. Oftentimes, just for the sake of an extra share of power, one party would push another party into hell … while this current situation was just a blatant dislike so far.

However, Zhou Ya did not mind this situation. Han Yu’s behaviour was in large part helping him clear out a path to become Wuji’s military adviser. It should be known that within Wuji, Li Lanfeng was the publicly acknowledged strategist of the mecha clan, holding extremely high esteem among its members. Without Han Yu’s help, relying on himself, he might have to wait until Li Lanfeng graduates and leaves the academy before he would be able to take on the role of adviser.

As an ambitious person, Zhou Ya did not want to dawdle within the military academy for 2 to 3 years. He yearned to ascend the skies in one step, craving the chance to display his full abilities, and desired the respect and admiration of the clan members.

And so, Zhou Ya kept his silence, as if tacitly agreeing with Han Yu that he too felt something off about Li Lanfeng …

Having left the Wuji box, Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng did not know what was happening inside the box. They walked till the end of the hallway, where they happened to bump into the Li Shiyu and Yun Xiu who had also departed from their box.

When the four met, they were all startled …

A trace of confusion appeared silently on Li Shiyu’s handsome face. This masked youth before his eyes, who was radiating such a warm and gentle aura, seemed somewhat familiar …

Li Lanfeng was the quickest to regain his bearings. He smiled and gave the other side a cadet’s salute, and then said, “Li Shiyu, dux of the military medical research specialization, I’ve heard such great things about you 1 .”

“Erm, hello, have I met you somewhere before?” Li Shiyu’s brow creased and he could not help but ask.

“Well, no, but I’ve seen you before!” said Li Lanfeng with a smile.

“Oh? When?” Li Shiyu pursued the question. His memory had always been good — this person across from him had such a strange sense of familiarity, he just could not believe that he really had not met him before.

Smilingly, Li Lanfeng was about to answer when Zhao Jun beside him asked with a quirked brow, “Lanfeng, so this is the so-called direct descendant of your Li family? That genius Li Shiyu you mentioned?”

Li Shiyu jolted at these words, blurting out, “You’re a Li family descendant too?”

Li Lanfeng nodded and said, “Yes, but I’m just a branch descendant. However, I was previously lucky enough to be in the same school as Young Master Mulan. It’s just that Young Master Mulan dropped out later due to illness, and I’ve not seen him since then … I wonder how Young Master Mulan is now. Is he well?” asked Li Lanfeng with a face filled with concern.
