Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 288: The National Government's Dispute

In the golden autumn of October, the sweet scent of osmanthus fills the air in Shanghai.

Xu Shen lay on the campus lawn with his eyes closed.

As his light-based skills deepened, he became more and more fond of basking in the blazing sun.

The little fairy transformed into a fire phoenix and curled up to the size of a fist. She dozed off on his chest, swaying. Every time she was about to fall, she would quickly open her confused little eyes, tilt her head to glance at Xu Shen, then close her eyes and fall asleep again.

Little Chenxi flew beside Xu Shen's ear, fanning her hands adorably, afraid that Xu Shen would get too hot...

It takes the right time to deal with that supreme monarch.

There is still no trace of the ten thousand year old ice silk.

Every time I went to the Qingtian Hunting House, I was turned away.

None of the three conditions for saving Ding Yumian were met.

But Xu Shen's heart was very calm.

He knew early on that it would be difficult to go against the behemoth that is the Holy City.

He was also prepared for a protracted war.

As long as Yumian is alive, there is hope.

There was no progress on his side, but he heard that his teammates had a good experience in Dongting.

Within three or four months, as the sisters Liu Xian and Liu Ru, who possessed the bug-level talent of twins, took the lead in entering the high level, the entire Ruoshui team seemed to have reached the flowering season, and Mu Bai, Bai Tingting, and Xu Dalong also broke through one after another.

Up to now, the only ones in Ruoshui team who have not yet reached the advanced level are probably Mo Fan, Fatty Hai, and Xiaozu who came here to experience life.

Suddenly, a breeze blew, and Xiaoxian and Chenxi disappeared in a flash.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

Ai Tutu's slightly chubby loli face suddenly appeared in Xu Shen's field of vision.

Long straight hair falls down, and a faint fragrance fills the air.

But Xu Shen's gaze involuntarily moved to the collar that was slightly opened due to gravity.

The area was too small to accommodate two big white rabbits. It was packed tightly with only a bottomless ditch that was half-hidden and half-visible, making people dizzy.

"Shouldn't you be in the gym watching the game at this time? What are you doing here?"

Ai Tutu lay down beside Xu Shen, and there was suddenly some sadness on his usually clever face.

"My family found a blind date for me."

"Oh."

Xu Shen responded as if nothing had happened, but he couldn't help feeling a little jealous in his heart. The little fan girl who used to surround him was now getting married.

"His name is Gu Jian, he has decent talent and is said to be good-looking too." Ai Tutu suddenly lifted his chin, blinked slyly at Xu Shen and said, "But I definitely don't like him. What do you think if I pretend to be you and team up with him, and then deliberately ruin his game?"

Xu Shen rolled his eyes and said, "I advise you not to mess around. This is a nomination contest for the school. Ruining someone's future is like killing their parents. If you do this, he will hate you to death."

Ai Tutu pouted and said, "My brother is on the National Government team. What is the nomination competition? I don't know. It's just a formality. There are only a few places to participate in the National Government competition, and they are probably almost decided. Even if the ticket for the nomination competition is given to him, he can't get the other three tickets to get a place in the school competition. Whether I interfere or not will have no effect on the result."

Xu Shen was somewhat speechless: "Although that's the case, other people don't know. I don't mind if you pretend to be me to participate in the competition, but I'm afraid you will become notorious. Are you willing to give up your reputation just to mess up this blind date?"

Ai Tutu grinned and said proudly: "My mother dotes on me. If this is just one blind date, I can just tell her and I don't have to go. But I'm not going just for this one time.

Some relatives have nothing to do, so they might as well eat more. They always try to find blind dates for me, but it's hard to refuse them, so I might as well make a big fuss so that they won't introduce anyone to me again in the future.

Of course, there is a better way.”

Xu Shen rolled his eyes: "Let me pretend to be your boyfriend?"

Before Ai Tutu could show a happy expression on her face, the words "no deal" made her nod pause.

"Can't you just help me?"

Ai Tutu punched Xu Shen on the shoulder.

"Can't help at all!"

Xu Shen rolled his eyes and turned sideways. Ai Tutu sat up and stamped his feet in annoyance: "I will go to the referee teacher to make a secret move now. I will be on the court this afternoon."

"Wait a minute," Xu Shen said, "I seem to remember that I didn't sign up."

Ai Tutu chuckled and said confidently, "I can even impersonate someone else in a competition. It's just a matter of signing up with a word."

Xu Shen was speechless.

This girl, with such a simple and naive personality, doesn't seem like she comes from a noble family.

However, it is unlikely that a small family could manipulate such a serious competition as the nomination battle with just a single sentence.

Besides, what did she just say?

It seems her brother is a member of the National Team? !

Who is this Ai family? How come they have secured a spot so early?

"Hey, Xu Shen, what do you want to eat for lunch? Can I treat you?"

"Spicy rabbit head," Xu Shen answered absentmindedly.

Ai Tutu looked down at his white shirt that was so bulging that his toes were invisible. Not only did he not blush at all, but he puffed out his chest proudly and said, "It's a deal then. See you at noon."

Ai Tutu was afraid that Xu Shen would go back on his word, so he ran very fast.

This girl.

Xu Shen looked at her back and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

There was no one around, and after being disturbed by Ai Tutu's actions, Xu Shen didn't want to stay any longer, so he dusted himself off and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, space ripples spread around him.

A young man with a handsome appearance and powerful aura appeared.

Obviously, this was directed at me.

Being able to use high-level space magic to teleport so skillfully, I guess he is not a weakling.

Xu Shen narrowed his eyes slightly, and felt a little alert.

"My name is Ai Jiangtu, Ai Tutu's brother."

"Is something wrong?"

"The Guofu team needs a captain, and the candidates they are considering right now are you and me."

Xu Shen frowned slightly: "I did not sign up for the National Government Competition."

Ai Jiangtu did not hide anything. He said, "The vote of the Speaker of the Shao Zheng University was cast for you. Soon, various forces will respond. You will definitely be admitted to the National Government Team."

"I do not have time."

Ai Jiangtu stopped in front of Xu Shen and said, "Do you know what the dispute between the government and the government means?"

"What does it have to do with me?"

Xu Shen met Zu Guangyao, who regarded all living beings as ants and only knew how to tell grand narratives.

I have seen the congressman Luo Mian who disregards human life and is extremely greedy.

I have also seen leaders in ancient capitals who could not stand up after kneeling for so long.

As for the dirty details of the National Government's dispute over the quota, they are not worth mentioning.

Without exception, these people all came from prominent families.

After seeing all this, could Xu Shen still expect anything from them?

What’s the use of working hard to gain resources? They will still be divided up by those wealthy families.

What does it have to do with the civilians who have been repeatedly victimized?
What brings glory to the country?

The glory belongs to China, but the benefits actually go into their pockets.
