Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 343: The First Member Change of the National Team

Using the excuse of giving him a magic tool as a gift, Xu Shen stayed with Yu Mian for a few more days.

Hangzhou has been peaceful these days, but Shanghai is full of twists and turns.

Lu Kun, who had become a prison boss in the Shencheng Trial Council, was exposed and captured on the spot.

The consequences of the infiltration of the Shencheng Inquisition were more serious than expected. A large number of management personnel were replaced, and mages like Xu Zhaoting who had not yet broken through to the high level were promoted to Inquisitors due to the large vacancies in the leadership.

Implicated by Lu Kun, the Lu family, one of the four major families in Shencheng, fell into a slump. Lu Yilin, a member of the Lu family who had originally been scheduled to enter the National Palace Competition, was also put on hold indefinitely.

"A Shen, Master Mu wants to see you."

Ding Yumian shook Xu Shen awake from his bed and handed him the phone.

"Hey"

Xu Shen was confused.

The indulgence in the past few days has made him physically and mentally lazy, and he doesn't even want to make an effort to speak.

Mu Zhuoyun knew that his young master didn't like to be polite, so he got straight to the point: "A spot in the National Government Competition suddenly became vacant, and the Nanrong family is interested in recommending their own children. They want a vote from the Chamber of Commerce."

"Nanrong family?" Xu Shen thought for a long time before he remembered: "The Mu family, that follower family?"

"Ah."

"No," Xu Shen said bluntly, "The Mu family expelled you from the family and even took back your surname, causing Xuexue to almost miss school. How can their affiliated families have the nerve to ask us for a vote?"

Mu Zhuoyun hesitated and said, "The Nanrong family has been on a downward trend over the years. They seem to really need a spot in the National Palace Tournament. They are also a member of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. Is this right..."

Xu Shen sneered, "Which family has not experienced decline? Old Mu, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance is not a charity. The problems with their own business strategies cannot be blamed on the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. We did not take the opportunity to add insult to injury because we are a fellow member."

"it is good."

Mu Zhuoyun had been doing business in Bo City for too long, and his temperament had become as smooth as a pebble.

When the Nanrong family approached him, he subconsciously agreed because he didn't want to offend them.

But I still feel angry.

The reason is just as Xu Shen said: You've been a dog for the Mu family, and you still have the nerve to come to him?
Now that he heard the clear rejection from Xu Shen, he felt relieved.

"By the way, what kind of position is the new member that the National Government Team is looking for?"

"If you major in healing, the weighting may be higher, but it still depends on your background."

Healing……

Xu Shen thought for a moment and called Jiang Shaojun.

This guy brought Yu Shishi into the National Palace Competition, causing them to be short of a healing magician now.

So it makes sense to ask him for help to replace a healing mage now.

The fact turned out to be just as he expected, Jiang Shaojun agreed readily.

"You want Tingting to join the Guofu team?"

Yu Mian witnessed the entire process of Xu Shen making the phone call and naturally knew his intention.

"That's right. Tingting's strength is not bad. The only thing she lacks is that the Bai family is indeed a little bit weaker. Among the four major families in Shencheng, their Bai family is at the bottom."

Xu Shen said this with a feeling of being disappointed in his friend.

There are four major clans in Shencheng, namely Mu, Lu, Dongfang and Bai. Mu Nujiao from Mu clan is already in the national team. If the Red Devil incident had not happened in Lu clan, one of them would have been added this time.

As for Dongfang, although he has not yet joined the main team, at least some of his players are participating in the defense competition. If they perform well, they may have opportunities in the future.

Only the Bai family is left, and they are nothing!

“It would be nice to go to Venice.”

Yu Mian's voice was calm, but there was an obvious hint of envy in her eyes.

We are all young people. If we had no choice, how could we be willing to live a secluded life like an old Taoist priest?

Xu Shen held her hand and said, “Mianmian, give me ten years, and I will make sure you can stand in the sun openly. Even if you are wandering around the Holy Residence, those stupid angels will have to greet you with a smile.”

"Uh-huh."

Mianmian smiled brightly and threw herself into Xu Shen’s arms.

The two of them fought and played so hard that they didn't stop until the sun had set.

Day after day, until the National Government Team coach Feng Li, who could no longer tolerate it, called to urge people to leave, Xu Shen reluctantly left.

When I returned to Tokyo Naval Castle, Yu Shishi was still there.

She was not in a hurry to leave. During this time, she and Liu Xian and Liu Ru had become good friends who could talk about anything. The three of them intended to stay and continue their training in the Sea Battle City.

She was very competitive. Although her magic awakened later than anyone else present, she surpassed others in cultivation and successfully advanced to a higher level during Xu Shen's absence.

It was quite interesting to listen to Jiang Shaoxu's vivid description of the scene where the national government mentor wanted to eliminate her, especially when she mentioned Feng Li's dark face and extremely unnatural expression, which made everyone laugh.

They were all young people who had not yet been completely tainted by the big dye vat of society. Although they knew what was going on, they still had some youthful spirit and consciously or unconsciously stood up for Yu Shishi who was eliminated.

After Yu Shishi was eliminated, two new people joined the National Team. One of them was called Li Kaifeng. His family was not from the great Li family that Xu Shen had used to gain power in the East China Sea Alliance.

The Li family, to which Li Kaifeng belongs, is a legitimate family of scholars. This family has intricate ties with various colleges and universities in the southeast. It is a truly prestigious family with students all over the world. Although they usually do not show off their talents, they can always demonstrate shocking strength at critical moments.

The other was Bai Tingting, who was carried in by Xu Shen and Jiang Shaojun.

Tingting came in to replace Lu Yilin, so her current status is that of a substitute. Whether she can become a regular employee depends on her performance in the future.

"Boy, are you willing to come back from the land of comfort?"

Feng Li glared at Xu Shen with a dark face.

"I was doing something important!"

Xu Shen was right but still very confident. Feng Li's face was as black as a piece of coal: "What big deal did you go to do?"

"Then don't worry about it."

Yang cannot grow alone, Yin cannot be born alone. How can the important matter of harmonizing Yin and Yang be easily passed on to others?
"Humph!"

Feng Li left angrily.

If he hadn't been worried that he might lose face by not being able to beat this kid, this matter wouldn't have been so easy to expose.

In the evening, Xu Shen, under the pretext of the mentors, hosted a banquet for everyone to welcome them. The group ate, drank, and had fun, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

It was late at night, and Xiaoxian, who had been playing in the sea for half a month, came back.

The little guy was a natural water expert. After soaking in the water for such a long time, there was no fishy smell at all. His body, like flowing water, was also extremely refreshing. He wrapped himself around Xu Shen's arm like a puppy, chasing his tail happily.

"You said there is something in the sea that attracts you?"

The little guy turned around and was about to nod, but was unexpectedly slapped on the head by his own tail, and immediately grimaced in pain.

Xu Shen opened his phone and pulled up the map, then followed Xiaoxian's instructions to zoom in on the target sea area.

"Are you sure this is here?"

"Hoohoo!"

The little fellow nodded excitedly, his purple eyes gleaming with gold and revealing the naivety of a college student.

While dealing with Xu Shen, it took advantage of the tail's inattention and bit it back. Suddenly, its whole body shuddered and jumped high. If Xu Shen hadn't held it, it would have poked a hole in the roof.

Xu Shen was speechless. It seemed that he had not been so stupid before.

In order to prevent the little guy from tearing down the house, he threw it into the contract space.

"Hoohoo!"

Xiaoxian traveled through the three contract spaces and soon discovered that Apas was not there.

"Your sister Apas has gone back to the academy."

"Roar!"

"You're learning a fucking lesson."

Xiaoxian is not convinced and is determined to continue studying this subject!

Xu Shen had no choice but to find an enlightenment Chinese pinyin dictionary and throw it into the contract space, and then pull out Chenxi who was sleeping soundly in the exquisite ball.

"Chenxi will be your teacher from now on. If you want to go to school, go find her."

"I?"

Chenxi pointed at himself in disbelief.

Xu Shen tugged at her skirt to cover her exposed butt, and said earnestly, "You can even fly a plane, but you're just taking care of a child."

"That's right."

Chenxi nodded excitedly and plunged into the contract space.

After dealing with the little fairy, Xu Shen stared at the sea thoughtfully.

It is called Demon Ruins, and its danger level is marked as the highest level of black forbidden area.

This place marked in black is different from the Tianshan Mountains, a place suitable for people of all ages to train.

The meaning of marking the entire area in black is actually very simple, that is, even if a strong person at the forbidden spell level goes in, he may not be able to come out safely, or even not be able to come out at all.

Although Xiaoxian felt that there was something inside that attracted it, Xu Shen would never go on an adventure so rashly.

It would be fine if there really was something good there, but if this so-called "sensing" was just a bait to lure it in, then we're all doomed.

He secretly took note of this area of ​​sea and planned to visit this so-called "Devil's Ruins" again when his magical powers were fully developed.

Xu Shen was imagining his invincible future when the doorbell rang unexpectedly.

When he released his spiritual sense, he saw the twin sisters standing at the door, holding takeout boxes in their hands.

"what happened?"

Xu Shen asked even though he knew the answer.

Liu Ru mentioned the takeaway in a coquettish tone: "There are too many barbecue orders."

"Hey, grilled seafood is my favorite."

Xu Shen pretended to be surprised and welcomed the two sisters into the room with a smile.

The three of them chatted and laughed, but didn't get to the point.

You have your pretentiousness, and I have my playing hard to get.

After some back and forth, you finally agreed and were about to go into battle when the doorbell rang again.

The two sisters turned pale and quickly hid in the closet.

"Ah, this..." Xu Shen looked at the closed door in confusion: "Is our relationship so shameful?"

The two sisters kept silent and just played ostrich.

When I opened the door, a burst of fragrance hit my nose.

Bai Tingting had obviously just washed up. She picked up the takeaway box and said, "We ordered too much. Let's eat together?"

Xu Shen suppressed a laugh: "Okay, I just ordered some barbecue."
