"Why are you so late?"

There was a room in the middle of the third floor with the door open, and two men were sitting inside. When they saw Lu Yuan and his group enter, they chuckled and said something.

They're the ones.

Clearly, these are the other two members of the team.

Besides Tang Guangming, Lu Yuan and the other two couldn't help but scrutinize the two.

One was tall and thin, the other short and chubby; both looked to be around twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with ordinary appearances, and both wore uniform clothing.

The tall, thin man had long hair and would occasionally brush it aside, looking somewhat narcissistic. The short, stout man, on the other hand, didn't make any moves; from the moment they entered, his eyes had been fixed on Shen Qiubing with a rather lewd gaze.

Through mental perception, both of them were ninth-meridian martial artists.

"Now that everyone's here, let's get to know each other."

The tall, thin man spoke first, then flicked his hair and smiled with an inexplicable confidence.

"This young master is Jin Xinxin."

"I am Song Pandun. How should I address you, beautiful lady?"

The short, stout man stood up, drooling as he reached out his hand to Shen Qiubing.

Shen Qiubing frowned and took a step back warily.

Jin Xinxin and Song Bantun? These two names are quite unique.

However, what puzzled Lu Yuan was that there were only the two of them.

"What about the others?"

"What do you mean 'everyone else'? Isn't everyone here complete?"

Jin Xinxin snorted softly, looking at Lu Yuan with some confusion.

Is everything complete?

Lu Yuan was increasingly confused, so he asked a question directly.

"Shouldn't there be seven more people?"

"Oh, you mean those seven?"

Jin Xinxin understood, but sneered, then turned around and pointed to her back.

He was wearing the same clothes as Song Pandun, which should be the uniform of the Starry Sky Squad. On his back was an insignia with six bright stars arranged in a dipper shape, which was the six stars of the Southern Dipper.

"We are the Nandou team, which originally only had six people."

"Southern Dipper..."

Since there is a Southern Dipper, there is also a Northern Dipper, which happens to have seven stars.

Lu Yuan suddenly realized that the remaining seven people must be the Beidou team.

"So that's how it is."

"Looks like you're not too stupid."

Jin Xinxin gave another light snort, then pointed at Lu Yuan and the other two.

"Tang Guangming is from the same class as us, so there's no need for formalities. The three of you can introduce yourselves."

"Shen Qiubing".

"My name is Gao Shu."

"Lu Yuan."

Although the way they greeted each other with sniper shots was unpleasant, they would be teammates from now on, so Lu Yuan and the other two introduced themselves one after another.

Aside from Shen Qiubing's cold and aloof nature and reluctance to speak, Gao Shu and Lu Yuan were also wary of the two, so they didn't say much beyond their names.

"That's a beautiful name for a pretty girl."

Song Pandun looked at Shen Qiubing with a fawning smile.

Jin Xinxin snorted, stretched her wrists, and stood up. Her gaze swept over Lu Yuan and the others, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.

"Then let's get to know each other better."

How do you understand?

Gao Shu looked at Jin Xinxin with a somber gaze.

Jin Xinxin clearly had ill intentions. Although Gao Shu was usually not talkative, he never backed down when faced with a challenge.

"Alright then, let's start with you."

Jin Xinxin sneered again, her gaze towards Gao Shu becoming much colder.

"etc!"

Seeing that the two were already on the verge of exchanging blows, Tang Guangming suddenly spoke up, turning to Jin Xinxin with a smile.

"We're all teammates, why can't we talk things out? We know each other well, so we can just be frank with each other. There's no need to resort to violence."

"Old Tang, look at those three, do they look like they're willing to tell us the truth?"

"Watch your mouth!"

Gao Shu frowned, his face showing anger.

He has always adhered to the principle of "I will not offend others unless they offend me," so it's impossible for him not to react when he is insulted to his face.

Not only Gao Shu, but Shen Qiubing's face also darkened instantly. She had restrained herself before because of her teammates, but now she didn't mind tearing Jin Xinxin's foul mouth apart.

In contrast, Lu Yuan didn't mind much. He came from a humble background and didn't have a strong sense of self-esteem. In fact, he was quite thick-skinned and wouldn't get angry just because of a swear word.

Of course, he didn't want to be scolded for no reason, and he wouldn't mind if a fight had to break out.

"Don't be impulsive!"

Tang Guangming stopped Gao Shu, signaling Shen Qiubing not to act rashly, and then looked at Jin Xinxin with a fawning smile.

"Young Master Jin, you guys joined the team first, so you're considered seniors. There's no need to get angry with these newbies."

"Stop acting all high and mighty. You're a newbie too, just like everyone else."

"...That's right, I'm a newbie too!"

Tang Guangming forced himself to remain silent and smiled again.

"As a senior, you should act like one, right, Mr. Jin?"

Looking at Tang Guangming, who had been constantly compromising, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

In his memory, Tang Guangming was a hypocrite and a sanctimonious philanderer, with a bad temper and a strong sense of justice, always ready to punish others in the name of justice.

It now seems that Tang Guangming's attitude was also dependent on the person he was dealing with.

"OK."

Jin Xinxin gave a light snort and said directly.

"If you tell me the truth, I won't hold it against you."

Disclosure?

Jin Xinxin's "revealing the truth" meant completely disclosing her personal information.

Every martial artist has a file containing detailed information, such as the number of meridians opened, the grade of their martial meridians, their combat skills, and even the equipment they possess.

Warriors from the Starry Sky Guild can view each other's files, but most of the time they are hidden.

After all, how could such things concerning one's own strength be easily known by others?

At this moment, Jin Xinxin's demand for Lu Yuan and his team to reveal their secrets meant showing them all the files. Knowing your enemy is half the battle, and this was tantamount to exposing their weaknesses to the enemy; how could Lu Yuan and his team possibly agree to that?

Making such an excessive request right after meeting them clearly shows that Jin Xinxin and Song Pandun intended to give Lu Yuan and his group a hard time.

In any group, there are always situations where older members bully newcomers; this is a way for older members to assert their status.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Gao Shu snorted coldly and assumed a fighting stance.

Shen Qiubing gave Lu Yuan a wink, signaling him to be ready to act at any moment. Lu Yuan nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

If an older person wants to bully a newcomer, they need to have the power to do so!

Jin Xinxin and Song Pandun are only two people, but the four of them, two against one, have an absolute advantage in terms of numbers.

Lu Yuan was naturally not afraid of Jin Xinxin and Song Pandun, but with someone to help him, he was happy to save some effort.

"Fine, you insist on fighting, huh?"

Seeing this, Tang Guangming was too lazy to persuade them anymore. He simply stood on Lu Yuan's side and said something to Jin Xinxin.

"Have you thought this through? After all, even Feng Ji was defeated."

"What does Feng Ji's defeat have to do with you...?"

Jin Xinxin paused halfway through her sentence, frowned slightly as she looked at Tang Guangming, and tentatively asked a question.

"You don't mean...?"

"Heh, that's right."

Tang Guangming sneered and pointed at Lu Yuan beside him.
