Qian Xuedie smiled as widely as a fox. “My dear Student Huiyin, are you hiding something from us?”

This wench was indeed wily. Although it seemed like Ouyang Ruoliu was the most intelligent among them, this snack-loving girl was even sharper.

“What would I hide from you?” Huiyin would not take the bait. “What I mean is, Wang Zheng’s Saruman Snake battle team is currently the top seed in SIG. If we ruin this, it will reflect badly on SIG. The rest of the world will think that Aslan did it on purpose.”

Huiyin’s logic made sense. It was indeed true that Aslan was intent on this SIG. Wang Zheng’s IG had cost Aslan the championship on their own stage, and they could not afford to lose it again. No matter how strong Saruman Snake was, they were the representatives of Elite Academy X. They could try to prank them, but it would be an easy read by paparazzi, and if it was complicated, then it would lose its meaning.

“Is that it then?”

“I mean, for the future happiness of our Dong Er, we should let the matchmaking take its course. And minimize our interference,” Lin Huiyin said. “That is why Sister Ruoliu can’t be the one to do it, it has to be Xuedie. The three of us will watch from the back.”

“No, I don’t want to. Huiyin, why not you?”

“You forget that I was at Elite Academy X. How could he not recognize me, I’m Lin Huiyin!”

“Mm, I think Huiyin has a point!” Dong Er said. She was uninterested in this matchmaking.

“I can’t do it. Look at me, so cute and so loli, how would I be near a matchmaking age...” Qian Xuedie pointed at herself.

All three girls brooded for a bit. This had hit the nail on the head. No one would believe such a cute girl, no matter how much makeup was added.

“How about this? I’ll sacrifice a little and go myself. You wait in the wings. At the slightest sign of trouble, watch for my signal, and you all must come and help,” Dong Er said. It was her matchmaking after all, and she had best see to things herself.

In the end, all four girls started their plotting. How could they make this “matchmaking” more interesting? Huiyin could only pray for Wang Zheng now.

The next day, all of the Elite Academy X members had dressed especially carefully. Before the official reporting day, they had been relaxed, touring the Royal College. The place was huge, and there was plenty to amuse them. Of course, they wanted to venture out further, but they could not leave Aslan’s capital.

Di Maria had finally found his place. He was not at all out of place within Royal College. Although Wang Zheng was no stranger himself, it was not nice to steal the thunder of others.

Di Maria had specially arranged for a car for those who wanted to go out. From the reception, it seemed very kind of him.

Mars and the rest did not hold back. There was no reason to stay in their rooms all day in Aslan. They should get out for a look. Jiang Feng had only one request, which was not to get in trouble before the competition.

After shopping for a morning, they felt rather dissatisfied with the excursion. It felt like they were being stared at. It was not a good feeling. Which was why they decided to split up for the afternoon, and again left Di Maria’s preparations wasted.

“Wang Zheng, you’re familiar with this place. Is there any special place with many babes? Bring us for a look,” Zhang Shan said.

“There are plenty of beauties here, but many of them with thorns. I have something on in the afternoon, so I won’t go with you. But I’ll be back at night,” Wang Zheng said. They had lunch in the canteen. It felt good to be somewhere new, and everyone was accommodating. Many were Royal College students. Of course, there were also plenty of competitors from other countries, only that no one knew who was who without school uniforms. Mu Zhen was not eating with them. This was a normal canteen, and his size was a difficult fit.

“Alright. I hear that the nightlife is great. And I wonder how the school’s alcohol is like.” Takumi was itching with curiosity.

“Stop dreaming. Aslan is the vegetarian, quiet, and elegant kind. They aren’t the type to get drunk.” Vincent shook his head.

“Correct!” Wang Zheng smiled. “But the night view is indeed not bad here. When I’m back, I’ll contact an old friend, see if they’re around.”

“Meat!” Zhang Shan suddenly declared. “Nothing, I just want to eat meat.”

“Eat then, it’s all free here!”

Wang Zheng was worrying about his afternoon date. He did not want this thing to blow up. After all, he was here for a competition. Sigh, Old Mu and Old Butch really knew how to throw a spanner in his works.

And the other person was rather odd, to choose to meet at the Royal College of all places. Luckily, the place was rather private, and also a rather high-end place.

After their meal, Wang Zheng hastened to his matchmaking. He had his manners. At the very least, he could not be late.

“Captain, why do you seem so anxious?” Takumi said.

“There’s some devilry with this guy. Let’s follow! It’ll definitely be a good show,” Zhang Shan said shiftily. “I knew there was something off when we came here.”

The three rushed out, but Wang Zheng had already disappeared without a trace. Zhang Shan and the rest were dreaming if they thought they could track Student Wang.

No choice. Zhang Shan and the rest could only follow the main group in the afternoon.

Ai Xiaolu was not familiar with the place, but nothing really stumped her. She was almighty.

At that moment, Ai Xiaolu, Luo Er, and Snow Li were strolling on campus. Given the look in their eyes, they had to acknowledge that the Royal College was a good place. It was hard to put into words. Although Elite Academy X was not bad, it was still rustic compared to a place like this, which was rich, and refreshed one’s spirit in many ways.

“Xiaolu, Hail Cloud Alliance’s leader’s surname is also Ai. Is it someone from your family?” Luo Er asked.

Ai Xiaolu nodded. “My elder cousin. Someone favored by the family.”

That Ai Zhengyang kept his nose out of family business. He loved mecha, and was rebellious. Before, he had not been favored by the family, but for some reason, the family had suddenly realized that he was good stuff. Ai Zhengyang had fought for a name for himself. His ability had risen strikingly, and the key was military recognition, which had compelled the family to recognize him. Ai Xiaolu was, after all, a girl. Within any family, there was strife, and the Aishi Financial Group was no exception.

But Ai Xiaolu was not too familiar with this cousin.

“I’ve looked at the lineup. All 10 teams are top class. Besides, many more qualified competitors are lining up behind them.” Luo Er smiled. “Won’t be easy for Wang Zheng to break his way out of the pack.”

“Nothing is easy. If you want to take the win in this competition, ability alone won’t suffice. There are all kinds of other factors, luck being paramount,” Ai Xiaolu said. “That top 10 thing is a farce. It’s useless. The Aslan officer school team is comparable, if not stronger than the Aslan’s Royal College team.”

“A smokescreen?”

“Or something like that. These top 10 teams are just a facade, for the crowd to see. Once the competition begins, you’ll know.” Ai Xiaolu and Luo Er were rather relaxed, as they were not competing. But Snow Li could not shake her tension off.

Wang Zheng was very strong, and the other team members were not weak either. But could they endure such a continuous barrage?

“Let’s talk about lighter matters. The competition hasn’t started. Besides, the important thing is to participate. I hear that the Royal College has a tea shop that is the pearl of Monta Ellis, which the royals love.” Luo Er laughed.

“You must be referring to One Meter of Galaxy.”

“Yes, that place.”

“Let’s go then. We can see if it lives up to the reputation.”
