Chapter 31 Confrontation
Finally receiving a positive reply from Yu Yao, Luo Mei couldn't help but smile.
He held Yu Yao tightly, and didn't forget to glance at Ye Ziang and Ji Yan.
Did she really think she didn't know what Ye Ziang wanted to say?
snort!
Ye Ziang shook his head helplessly and whispered to Luo Mei, "Congratulations."
Luo Mei raised her eyebrows at him, her face beaming.
Dongfang Jin's smile remained unchanged as he said to Yu Yao, "Welcome to the team."
Jiang Yi laughed and said, "So, according to age, you'll be Xiao Qi from now on? Welcome to the team, Xiao Qi~"
"welcome."
"Welcome."
Luo Pingjing and Qi Xian also welcomed Yu Yao.
Xiao Qi... the youngest?
Yu Yao narrowed her eyes and replied with thanks one by one.
"Can you adapt to team life?" Chi Heng was the last to speak.
He could tell at a glance that Yu Yao was not good at dealing with people.
However, they are not difficult to get along with.
"Ah."
"That's good, welcome to the team."
"Thank you."
Chi Heng gave Yu Yao a deep look and didn't continue the topic.
Instead, he said to the others, "The army is going to fight their way up layer by layer and collect supplies along the way. Let's go ahead and clear a path to mine the crystal cores."
Chi Heng and his group were extremely powerful fighters, while Sang Yi did not bring many people.
Having just gone through a fierce battle, they were either injured or exhausted. With Chi Heng and the others leading the way, the journey would be much easier.
As soon as Chi Heng finished speaking, Sang Yi hurriedly walked over and said to Yu Yao, "Miss Yu, we have sorted out some medicines and equipment. Could you please help us put them away?"
Yu Yao responded and followed him.
Jiang Yi watched her retreating figure and asked Luo Mei, "Is Xiao Qi a space-age ability user?"
Luo Mei put aside her worries and felt proud, "Yes, Ayao is amazing."
Jiang Yi laughed and said, "Wow, that's amazing! Where did you find such a treasure?"
Luo Mei snorted softly, "It was A Yao who picked me up."
Dongfang Jin looked at Luo Mei with a smile and asked, "She's very skilled. Do you know what she used to do?"
"She's a student from Ocean University. But Ah Yao wasn't this skilled before; she only developed such incredible abilities in the last few days. Impressive, right!"
As Luo Mei spoke, she glanced at Ye Ziang and Ji Yan, adding, "They're alumni."
Dongfang Jin looked at Ye Ziang and asked curiously, "Oh? Did she practice before?"
Unexpectedly, it was Ji Yan, who was usually taciturn, who responded.
"Given her character and appearance, how could she protect herself without some fighting skills?"
This is not a lie by Ji Yan.
The original owner was introverted and low-key, but she was never a pushover.
Because my dad had a friend who owned a martial arts school, I wanted to help my friend's newly opened martial arts school attract more customers when I was a child.
Yu Yao studied martial arts there for free for several years.
With Yu Zhao's occasional extra training and guidance, although he didn't become a martial arts master, he still had some skills.
She's beautiful, and too many people are eyeing her.
When I was a child, because I was good-looking and smart, I was often bullied by the bad guys at school in the toilet.
When her parents found out, they were filled with impotent rage and even demanded that she look for the cause within herself.
Later, she learned some self-defense techniques, and whenever someone cornered her in a secluded corner and tried to bully her, she dealt with it herself.
This is why she was able to survive for ten years in the cruel apocalypse in her previous life.
Qi Xian raised an eyebrow.
"She's really amazing. It would be very difficult for an ordinary person to reach her current level."
Dongfang Jin nodded, seemingly wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
Ji Yan, standing to the side, let out a low sneer.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jin and the others all looked at Ji Yan.
Ji Yan raised his eyes, expressionless. "What do you want to ask? Why don't you ask?"
Qi Xian frowned, "If we want to ask, we'll ask her directly! What kind of person would speculate like that behind her back!"
Ji Yan glanced at him, then at the others, his tone unusually calm.
"Now that you put it that way, I think more highly of you. I originally thought you would be arrogant and dismissive, making assumptions behind my back."
Now it seems you wouldn't... right?
Although he said that, his eyes were cold, carrying a strong warning.
He didn't want these people to accept Yu Yao, simply because she had saved Luo Mei, and because she was capable and valuable!
He hoped that these people would accept the real Yu Yao!
His idea might sound a bit pretentious at first glance, but upon closer examination, you can understand what he means.
He was speaking out for Yu Yao.
In his heart, Yu Yao, who was so wonderful, should not be looked down upon for no reason.
Qi Xian let out a cold laugh.
"Bro, what are you thinking about?"
Ji Yan stood his ground, "I'm thinking, you invited her to join the team after knowing her for less than half an hour. What are you thinking? You don't know her, but do you think she knows you? Are you trying to invite Yu Yao herself, or Luo Mei's savior?"
Ji Yan's words were very impolite.
But just as he was about to engage Qi Xian, Qi Xian suddenly stopped responding, and Dongfang Jin and the others fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Luo Mei stared intently at Dongfang Jin and Chi Heng.
"Eldest brother, second brother, I need your answers too!"
Dongfang Jin stared intently.
To be honest, they hadn't thought too much about it beforehand.
After finding Luo Mei, she told them about what happened after the apocalypse.
Only then did the group realize that Yu Yao had been teaming up with Luo Mei for the past few days and had even helped her upgrade her superpowers.
Therefore, they were very grateful to Yu Yao.
He did not look down on her either.
Even for someone who habitually harbors suspicion towards everyone due to professional habits, it is already quite difficult to instantly choose to believe someone.
They subconsciously believed that teaming up with Luo Mei was the same as teaming up with them. Since they were already friends who had gone through thick and thin together, there was no difference between them and their teammates.
But after Ji Yan said that, they suddenly realized that Yu Yao actually knew less about them than they knew about Yu Yao.
She might not even know their personalities or ages. Would she really feel comfortable teaming up with them?
Thinking about it this way, we realized that our actions were indeed ill-considered.
But... it's obviously too late to consider this issue now.
Because what's done is done.
Yu Yao is already their new teammate; they were the ones who took the initiative to invite her...
Chi Heng looked at Ji Yan.
After a long pause, he spoke in a deep voice to the boy whose face was still youthful but whose eyes were calm.
"You're right, we really didn't think it through."
Once things settle down, we'll seriously ask for her opinion and feelings. If we really can't get along, and we're not bound together, we can simply go our separate ways.
But we will do our best to earn her trust and support. Also, we have never looked down on her. At least I haven't.
Fate brings people together unexpectedly, and they are fortunate to seize the opportunity. If they hadn't, it simply means they weren't a good match.
Jiang Yi quickly raised her hand: "No, no. I liked her the moment I saw her. I feel honored to be her teammate."
Luo Mei nodded emphatically and said to Ji Yan, "Ji Yan, you know, it was me who was pestering A Yao, not the other way around. A Yao is such a good person, no one should look down on her."
As she spoke, she gave Dongfang Jin and the others a warning look, "They won't do either!"
Dongfang Jin sighed, "I didn't..."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yan turned and looked at Chi Heng with a complicated expression for a long time.
Finally, he said solemnly, "So, congratulations!"
