A little black rock? Senior Sister Lan frowned at Feng Wu. "It's just a dirty little rock!"
Chen Ziyun wiped the mud off the rock.
Senior Sister Lan was speechless. It was another essence crystal! Senior Sister Lan was astonished. She always saw Feng Wu as just a pretty face and couldn't believe she could be so lucky.
Even Ying Yuan, who had remained indifferent until now, looked at Feng Wu in amazement. When Feng Wu met his gaze, he abruptly turned his head and looked away, pretending not to notice her. His ears turned pink. The stunning girl had given him a lot of pressure, but he still managed to maintain a nonchalant demeanor. Because everybody was focusing on Feng Wu, no one noticed Ying Yuan's strange behavior. Ying Yuan only stole another glimpse at Feng Wu when Senior Sister Lan talked to her.
Senior Sister Lan's eyes were wide open. She stared at Feng Wu. "How did you know it was an essence crystal?"
Feng Wu said innocently, "I got lucky, I guess?"
Senior Sister Lan found that excuse acceptable. She smirked. "You have some luck, I'll give you that, but that's it! You can't count on just luck. It'll leave you at your happiest moment!" Senior Sister Lan was jealous of Feng Wu, but she couldn't tell what she was jealous about. Nothing about Feng Wu seemed right. Her mere existence offended Senior Sister Lan.
Chen Ziyun was annoyed. "Senior Sister Lan, why do I feel you're targeting Xiao Wu?"
He decided to call her "Xiao Wu" while he still could. Once they returned, the crown prince wouldn't want to hear that.
Senior Sister Lan couldn't believe her ears. "Targeting her? Chen Ziyun, are you blind? Who the hell does she think she is? Why should I be jealous of her? Are you saying she's better than me?"
Chen Ziyun nodded without hesitation. "Yes!"
Senior Brother Min burst out laughing.
Senior Sister Lan threw a dirty look at him.
Senior Brother Min had always been scared of Senior Sister Lan, so he immediately turned to the other side. If one looked closely, one would see his shoulders shaking with silent laughter.
Senior Sister Lan glowered at Chen Ziyun. "Why do you say she's better than me?" She pressed him for an answer.
Cheng Ziyun was about to tell the truth, when Ying Yuan said grimly, "Keep shouting at each other if you want to die here." Everybody stopped talking.
Senior Sister Lan thought, Ying Yuan is still on my side. As for Chen Ziyun, I'll make him pay for this!
Ying Yuan cast a stern look at Senior Sister Lan, finding her such a troublemaker. His gaze briefly landed on Feng Wu's face before he awkwardly looked away again. His tone softened a little. "Let's go." He was the first to set out.
Senior Sister Lan quickly followed him.
Ying Yuan glanced at her, feeling disappointed.
Senior Sister Lan didn't know what he was thinking. She smiled at him and said, "It was all my fault. I shouldn't have let such a girl join our team. Let's ignore her!"
"Such a girl?" Ying Yuan frowned.
