The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

Chapter 96 Yu Wenzhou: I think I need to seriously consider this—just kidding—

In the end, Ye Xiu couldn't refuse Wei Tan and entrusted this difficult task to him.

However, don't be fooled by Lao Wei's quick agreement. In reality, Lao Wei has no confidence at all. He's just a paper tiger, putting on a brave face in front of Ye Xiu.

"Ahem, hey, why are you all looking at me like that?"

Just as Lao Wei was about to call that familiar yet unfamiliar number, he saw Mo Qian and Lao Ye looking at him with great curiosity. Mo Qian and Ye Xiu were also very curious, wanting to know who Wei Tan wanted to call.
Old Wei couldn't possibly tell Ye Xiu and Mo Qian, so he pushed them away.
"Go away, kids, don't be so curious. Just watch quietly as your Uncle Wei does it."

This is one of Lao Wei's classic quotes. Whenever Lao Wei says this, Ye Xiu and Mo Qian know that Lao Wei has absolutely no confidence; he's just pretending to be relaxed.

"Well, Lao Wei is still the same as always. What should we do?"

Mo Qian looked at Ye Xiu, waved his hand helplessly, wanting to know if Ye Xiu had any way to deal with Wei Tan's stubborn personality.

But Ye Xiu had no choice. He looked at Mo Qian, wide-eyed, and said:
"What else can I do but wait and see? Hopefully, Lao Wei is reliable—"

So, whose phone call did Wei Tan actually make?

Inside the Blue Rain team's training room, Yu Wenzhou was monitoring his teammates' progress. Of course, Yu Wenzhou also trained, but he needed to check on them occasionally to see if anyone was slacking off.

Here comes Huang Shaotian, a big orange cat who's been caught stealing snacks. Completely oblivious to the danger, Huang Shaotian continues to leisurely enjoy his treats, even commenting on Zheng Xuan's training nearby.

"Hey, hey, this isn't right! Why did you use 'Stun Bullet'? You should have used 'Ice Bullet' here—oh dear, you're still no good, Xiao Xuanzi—"

Zheng Xuan saw Yu Wenzhou behind Huang Shaotian and frantically tried to signal to Huang Shaotian, but Huang Shaotian didn't understand at all. He thought Zheng Xuan wanted to eat the snacks in his hand and looked at them with a hint of reluctance.

But actually, Huang Shaotian had very few snacks left, just a tiny bit left. However, he still reluctantly took one last look at his snacks, then stretched the bag out in front of him...
"Take them all, see how good I am to you—"

Zheng Xuan's eyes were getting tired from turning around, but Huang Shaotian wouldn't turn his head. At this point, Zheng Xuan was even tempted to slap Huang Shaotian.
"Brother, you're so good to me, but can you please read my mind—turn around!"

When Zheng Xuan saw Yu Wenzhou reach out from behind and take out Huang Shaotian's snacks, his heart finally stopped pounding.
"Huh? How did you get that from up there—from Captain Yu?!"

Huang Shaotian was wondering why Zheng Xuan was taking the snacks he had given him from above, but when he looked up, he saw those white hands and the clearly visible captain's armband. Who else could it be but Yu Wenzhou!
"Shaotian, remember to do two extra hours of training after you finish training—I'll be watching you the whole time."

Yu Wenzhou smiled, a smile that was usually refined and pleasant, but now appeared terrifying to Huang Shaotian. When had Yu Wenzhou's footsteps become so silent?

Every captain in the alliance possesses, to some extent, the skill of walking silently. Of course, there's one exception: Han Wenqing. Han Wenqing's footsteps are resounding, as if he's afraid no one will hear him. Yu Wenzhou's footsteps, however, are truly silent; otherwise, Huang Shaotian wouldn't have been unaware that Yu Wenzhou was approaching.

"No!!! Captain Yu! I was wrong!"

Just as Huang Shaotian was about to offer another explanation, "Ring! Ring!" Yu Wenzhou's phone rang. Surprisingly, Yu Wenzhou's ringtone was still so traditional.
"Wait a minute, I need to take this call. Remember to train hard—Shaotian, if I catch you again, it'll be three hours!"

During Blue Rain team's regular training, Yu Wenzhou most often caught Huang Shaotian slacking off, and Huang Shaotian was punished the most. Poor Huang Shaotian, in the end, he had to bear all the blame.

Yu Wenzhou looked at the name displayed on his phone:
It was the old team leader, Wei Tan.

"Hello?" Yu Wenzhou answered the phone but didn't hear the other person's voice.
After a long while, Yu Wenzhou asked again, with a questioning tone:
"Hello? Captain?"

The moment Yu Wenzhou called out "Captain," Lao Wei could no longer hold back and finally answered Yu Wenzhou. At first, Lao Wei was really feeling pressured and didn't know how to tell Yu Wenzhou about this.

It was still a bit awkward; Old Wei was a little embarrassed to admit it. If Ye Xiu were here, he would have taken him on decisively. However, Old Wei probably needed to think it through a bit more before he could bring it up.

Old Wei then stammered out his thoughts, and it was truly thanks to Yu Wenzhou's excellent comprehension skills that he was able to understand Old Wei's hesitant words clearly.

Yu Wenzhou knew very well how much courage it took for Wei Tan to make that call. After all, Yu Wenzhou had essentially snatched the captaincy of the Blue Rain team from Wei Tan, and Old Wei still harbored a grudge.

After a brief moment of thought, Yu Wenzhou had already made up his mind. He would definitely do everything in his power to secure Lao Wei's interests with the club. Yu Wenzhou had no doubt about the authenticity of this skill book guide.
This is the former captain of the Blue Rain team. Even if Wei Tan is shameless, he wouldn't betray his own old team. Yu Wenzhou is very confident. Don't be fooled by Wei Tan's seemingly sleazy appearance. Although, Wei Tan is actually a good person.

However, Yu Wenzhou still wanted to tease his old captain; a little bit of cunning was part of Yu Wenzhou's style sometimes.
"Hmm, I might need to seriously consider that, Captain—"

Old Wei was somewhat surprised.

"what?!"

After hearing the response he wanted, Yu Wenzhou stopped teasing his old captain and replied with a smile:

"Just kidding, Captain. Don't worry, I'll apply to the club. But it might be necessary for you guys to come over. As you know, Captain, we need to see the power of this guide with our own eyes. Of course, I have absolute faith in you, Captain."
