Chapter 271 – Martial Strategy (Part One)

As soon as the plane landed, Di Junxie sent someone to take Ye Yunxi back to school while he went directly to report the situation.

Returning to the long-unseen campus felt rather pleasant.

After tossing her luggage into the dormitory, Bai Ruoyue and the others saw her, all wearing expressions of hesitation.

Ye Yunxi had an unpredictable schedule—sometimes staying in the dormitory, sometimes commuting—and neither the homeroom teacher nor the dorm supervisor bothered her about it. But that wasn’t the main issue; now, the entire school was buzzing with rumors that Ye Yunxi was some kind of princess, fabulously wealthy and of noble status.

Coupled with Night Phoenix’s performance at the School Festival, many people’s attitudes toward Ye Yunxi had done a complete 180.

“Um, Ye Yunxi, is Night Phoenix still recruiting?” Lin Jingyi asked tentatively. Although she’d had conflicts with Ye Yunxi before, everyone wants to climb higher, right?

Hearing this, the others also turned to look, their eyes fixed intently on Ye Yunxi, hoping she would nod and let them join.

“Yes, we’re still recruiting. Night Phoenix is always open to new members,” Ye Yunxi replied frankly while organizing her luggage.

Everyone couldn’t help but brighten up.

“So, can we join?”

Forget about the Three Great Societies!

Night Phoenix actually had provincial-level officials as practical instructors—it definitely wouldn’t fall short of the Three Great Societies in the future! If they could join, wouldn’t it be just like entering one of the Three Great Societies??

Resources—those were resources they could never hope to touch in their lifetime!

“You can, but recruitment isn’t under my control. Bring your resumes and report to Night Phoenix yourselves. If you pass the review, you’re in.”

Ye Yunxi’s words were straightforward and left no room for criticism, but Bai Ruoyue couldn’t hold back her anger: “Hey, Ye Yunxi, do you really think Night Phoenix is so great? Why put on such airs? We’re all in the same dormitory—do you have to be so difficult? It’s disgusting!”

“Yeah, we’re all dorm mates, and you’re being so unreasonable!”

“Do you have to be so formal? Acting like you’re the top club already!”

“Exactly, you only have about a dozen members, right? What’s there to be so arrogant about?!”

The girls chattered noisily, rolling their eyes one after another.

In their view, joining Night Phoenix was more about helping Night Phoenix—after all, strength lies in numbers. With such a small group of only about a dozen people, their willingness to join was doing Ye Yunxi a favor!

And now she actually said they needed to pass a review?

Hah, what a joke!

Ye Yunxi also sneered, glancing at the girls and retorting sarcastically, “What? It’s not like the time you put a snake in my wardrobe anymore?”

“I…”

The girls froze, their expressions turning sour.

Although Bai Ruoyue had proposed the idea back then, everyone had been involved. You could say this whole group was nothing but trouble!

“But you can’t hold a grudge over such a small thing and be so unforgiving!”

“Yeah, you’re way too full of yourself!”

Ye Yunxi scoffed. She’d seen shameless people before, but never anyone this shameless!

“Full of myself? Or are you just aware of your own incompetence, unable to even produce a decent resume?”

Ye Yunxi curled her lips, her expression haughty.

“You!”

The girls were furious!

Junyao First Club? Are they treating the Three Great Societies as a joke?!

What nonsense!”Ye Yunxi, don’t get cocky. Do you know what the requirements are to become the Junyao First Club? The two most basic conditions: First, the average academic score of all club members must rank first! Second, the military training scores of all club members must rank first! Do you really think you can achieve that?”

Academic excellence and military prowess—this is the educational foundation of Jun Yao!
