Chapter 2029: Becoming Stronger Together…

Lian Bingmeng has never met anyone as sensitive and foolish as Yue Shuangshuang.

When she previously did tasks with her mercenary partners, their interactions were always lighthearted and straightforward.

How come Yue Shuangshuang was so different from those straightforward mercenaries?

“Yue Shuangshuang, I’m just worried that you’re walking down the wrong road. What are you so worked up for?” Lian Bingmeng frowned. “I think you’ve changed. You were kind and adorable before but now that my strength’s grown, you’ve become reserved.”

Lian Bingmeng almost directly said that Ning Shu was jealous of her.

“You are strong, I am weak. We are not suited for being friends.” Ning Shu directly said. She felt deja vu, it was like she was covering delicate porcelain with an iron lid.

It felt disharmonious to have to walk together.

“When I used to be weak, you were very good to me. Now that I am strong and able to help you, you’re like this. You are so unreasonable.” Lian Bingmeng’s expression was ugly.

“I hope we can be partners moving forward together.”

Ning Shu: →_→

The truth was that Lian Bingmeng subconsciously disliked her low strength. Otherwise, why did she not invite Yue Shuangshuang when she formed her mercenary team.

She knew that if Yue Shuangshuang joined, it would be a hindrance to the team.

Becoming stronger together… What a joke.

You have your point of view, I have my point of view, It can only be said that we can’t match.

“Yue Shuangshuang, I can lend you what you need, and you can return it to me when you get stronger.” Lian Bingmeng said, “Selling yourself won’t last long.”

Ning Shu flipped through the book and said with a smile, “I didn’t sell myself. You want to know where the wisdom fruit came from. Would you believe me if I said I picked it by myself?”

Lian Bingmeng didn’t speak. Her expression made it clear that she didn’t believe her.

See, even if Yue Shuangshuang told the truth, no one would believe her.

In his instructor’s uniform, Instructor Wen walked in and gently said, “A tournament will be held by the academy in a month. As such, everyone should step up their training during this time.”

“There will be prizes if you win.” Instructor Wen’s voice was so gentle, that it made Ning Shu feel like she was soaking in a hot spring.

“Let’s go to the training room now.”

While everyone else was training by battling, Ning Shu was sitting in the corner, watching others duel.

Lian Bingmeng basically defeated everyone else in seconds, effortlessly tyrannizing her opponents.

“Lian Bingmeng is so powerful…”

“Right, and this is just one of her summoned beasts, the other summoned beasts are also very powerful…”

“Beautiful and powerful…”

“I heard that both the Fourth Prince and Mu Ziqi like her…”

“What a goddess…”

Ning Shu was listening to what these onlookers said. Lian Bingmeng was indeed quite charming. With her strong confidence, she was at least more attractive than women who could only rely on men to protect them.

Ning Shu didn’t want to fight her to the death at all.

The original host only wished that she could get stronger and defeat Lian Bingmeng.

She could defeat Lian Bingmeng at the academy tournament a month later.

Ning Shu’s heart only held one question: what was that pearl in Lian Bingmeng’s possession?

Lian Bingmeng could go from garbage to prodigy at once with a consciousness powerful enough to control so many summoned beasts.

“Where’s your flower pot?” Instructor Wen saw Ning Shu pick at her fingernails with her head down.

Ning Shu stood up. “I put it away.”
