Chapter 242 Taoist Priest
After a winter break, Zhai Lequ felt he was ready again.
During the winter break, he studied diligently at home, working hard and never believing that he couldn't defeat the group in Xiao Jiming's team.
And he had heard about it too.
In the missions before the start of the school year, Xiao Jiming and his three friends finally broke their undefeated streak, failing one mission.
In short, with the combination of various factors, Zhai Lequ felt that he could do it again.
He felt he could still win back the time he'd been defeated five, six, seven, eight, nine, or even ten times!
Moreover, as the top team in their age group, whenever any new promising talents emerge, Xiao Jiming's team is the first choice to be placed into Xiao Jiming's team.
There were already four people in their team!
Zhai Lequ couldn't help but feel jealous.
Now! There are three more people in the team!
According to the intelligence he received, none of the people in this group have weak abilities!
Zhai Lequ was jealous of him.
But it's okay.
Those three newcomers have only been in Xiao Jiming's team for a few days. Once he defeats Xiao Jiming, they will naturally know who is more outstanding and who is the captain more worthy of their following. He will definitely be able to recruit all these promising talents into his ranks!
Zhai Lequ thought to himself with great confidence.
He carefully observed the arrangement of the group again and became even more convinced of his judgment—the four people at the front were all acquaintances, while all the newcomers were at the back.
What is this?
This is a situation where older members isolate and ostracize newcomers! The newcomers are forced to band together!
Hey.
Zhai Lequ smiled inwardly, his confidence in winning increasing.
Jiang Xing, standing some distance behind, couldn't clearly see the expressions of each person in Zhai Lequ's group unless he was paying close attention.
Jiang Xingni had no interest in trying to figure out what each person was thinking.
She simply pointed to the hair color and then explained it to Su Yanzhi.
"That one at the front is Zhai Lequ," Jiang Xingni said, pointing to the blond, blue-eyed boy and introducing him to Su Yanzhi. "He's probably the captain of their team, right? He doesn't get along well with Xiao Jiming. To be precise, he's the one who thinks he and Xiao Jiming don't get along, and he's been constantly pestering Xiao Jiming to try and defeat him, but he always ends up getting slapped in the face."
Jiang Xing said with a smile.
She had read these stories over and over again through her phone screen, but none of them had ever felt so immersive, like experiencing firsthand the slap-in-the-face moments from those satisfying reads.
Then she stared at Su Yanzhi's face and touched it with her hand.
Su Yanzhi naturally rubbed his cheek against her palm, his eyes lowered as he did so, his expression full of innocence.
Then he heard Jiang Xingni pinch his cheek thoughtfully, his tone deep.
"We have the same personality as each other."
Jiang Xingni's pinch was made with real force, without any hint of flirting or ambiguity.
Su Yan felt the pain and instinctively tried to dodge, but Jiang Xingni rubbed her a few more times.
Ignoring the meaningless remark from before, Jiang Xingni's current actions gave Su Yanzhi the illusion that he was the dog being disciplined.
I was slapped, and then given a sweet treat.
"They do look quite similar," Jiang Xingni pondered.
The two people presented themselves to Jiang Xingni with completely different appearances. Even without looking at their eyes and hair, Jiang Xingni could clearly tell who was who.
However, this is not the case in the world of anime and manga.
On paper, they both have two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. How can anyone tell which of two blonde characters is who?
After all, for anime characters, the only way to differentiate them is through hair and eye color.
Among these, eye color and hair color are really inconspicuous. From a distance, many people would definitely confuse Su Yanzhi with Zhai Lequ.
Both of them have short, golden hair. Whether it's an M-shaped fringe or a mysterious middle part, their hairstyles are ultimately just the quirks of a comic artist and a line from a screenwriter.
The only way to separate two people is probably if one has green eyes and the other has blue eyes.
Jiang Xingni naturally withdrew his hand, somewhat curious about how his current actions would appear in the comic.
Then continue introducing the remaining two people.
"Ye Xunnan." Jiang Xing raised his head and pointed with his chin to the only woman among the three people opposite him, introducing her.
A girl with long blue hair stood to the side, and even from a distance, they could feel the helplessness emanating from her. Her hair was loose, and her golden eyes cast a curious glance at Jiang Xingni from afar.
Blue hair and golden eyes.
The hair and eye color pairing is something you'd only see in a comic book.
And since her hair and eye color are exactly the opposite of Zhai Lequ's, plus the fact that the two really grew up together as childhood sweethearts, many readers are shipping these two as a couple.
Among a group of gay couples, Ye Xunnan and Zhai Lequ stood out from the crowd.
"She's a rare healing-type ability user." Jiang Xingni gave a brief introduction to her ability—that was all Jiang Xingni knew.
In comics, the main characters' superpowers need to maintain an air of mystery and won't be explained in great detail, while the supporting characters' superpowers don't need to be explained in depth at all.
Jiang Xingni suspected that in both worlds—inside the comic and outside the comic—no one truly understood their supernatural abilities.
Perhaps even the screenwriters themselves don't know what each character's special ability is.
The last one, a young man with brown hair who was noticeably shorter than the rest of the group, was sandwiched among them.
"Jiang Fuyuan." Jiang Xingni had a deep impression of this last person. Not everyone could make He Jingtong show a look of avoidance.
The indifferent expression on the young man's face changed the moment he saw He Jingtong.
A bright, cheerful smile spread across her face as she shouted loudly at He Jingtong, "Daoist Master!!"
Su Yanzhi couldn't help but laugh.
"Because of He Jingtong's special ability?" Su Yanzhi and Jiang Xingnian whispered to each other.
Jiang Xingni nodded.
Although He Jingtong's special ability has always been ridiculed, like that of a cultivator—who can draw talismans after all! But the only person who actually calls him a Taoist priest is Jiang Fuyuan.
Upon hearing the title "Taoist Master," He Jingtong couldn't help but cover his face.
He pulled Song Juexiao in front of him, trying to hide behind Song Juexiao, but Song Juexiao blocked him completely.
"..." Song Juexiao took a step to the side with a look of disgust, revealing He Jingtong. "Don't use me as a shield."
Song Juexiao threatened in a low voice.
He Jingtong really wanted to make a move against his classmate and shut Jiang Fuyuan up.
