Chapter 258 – New Mission (Part One)

Even after school ended, everyone was still marveling at Night Phoenix’s stunning performance that day.

“Oh my god, I think I just witnessed the most incredible School Festival in Jun Yao’s history!”

“Same here! By the way, did you see Class One’s Claw Machine? I heard Ye Yunxi made that too!”

“No way, is that even possible?”

“It is! I heard there are DIY videos online by craft experts, and the ones they make look just like this!”

“Oh my god, then Ye Yunxi’s crafting skills are amazing! Is she planning to become an engineering soldier?”

“But what impressed me the most was Royal Duke!”

“Same here! Royal Duke is just so incredibly cool!! No matter what, I must get into Royal Duke!!”

The students were beyond excited until they noticed the people at the school gate.

A group of aristocratic students, dressed in well-fitted and handsome snow-white Uniforms, their long legs wrapped in boots, their slim waists cinched by palm-wide belts. Each of their faces appeared exceptionally resolute and handsome, drawing sidelong glances from many students.

“What are they doing here?”

“Not sure. Royal Duke people always seem so mysterious, and they’re all super well-trained!”

“They’re surrounding a vehicle, and it seems like there’s someone inside. Are they waiting for someone?”

Within the circle formed by the Royal Duke students, a Military Jeep was parked. The Jeep’s cold, hard lines were just as eye-catching and cool. Leaning against the Jeep’s door was a figure, the Cape fluttering in the night wind to reveal a blood-red lining, as if stained with blood.

The students strained to see who was inside, but the shadows from the trees blocked the light. All they could make out was a tall, straight figure and the fluttering crimson hem of the Cape—everything else was swallowed by the darkness.

“Who are they waiting for?”

“Not sure. Maybe one of the Three Great Societies’ presidents?”

That made sense. Who else would have the honor to be connected with an aristocratic university like Royal Duke, if not the presidents of the Three Great Societies?

After all, even a militarized school like Royal Duke has its own Three Great Societies!

“Looking at it this way, no matter how amazing Night Phoenix is, they still fall short in terms of influence!”

“Yeah, that’s Royal Duke for you. It’s not just about being skilled enough to get in!”

The students quickly toned down their admiration for Night Phoenix, thinking to themselves that, indeed, it’s better to choose a reliable society.

“You, wait a moment!”

A Royal Duke student suddenly stepped forward and blocked a student’s path. Everyone turned to look and saw that the person stopped was none other than Ye Yunxi!!

“Damn, why are they stopping Ye Yunxi?”

“Maybe she did something wrong?”

“If she offended Royal Duke, it’s no small matter!” After all, Royal Duke is under the Military Department!

Everyone stared wide-eyed as Ye Yunxi stood before the military personnel, silently sweating for her.

“The leader requests your presence! Step aside for a word!”

With that, a small gap opened in the circle, directly facing the Jeep and the man in military attire.

The students went wild.

“No way, ‘requests your presence’?”

“Does Ye Yunxi know someone from the Military Department?” Because they’d heard that Royal Duke’s teachers are all from the Military Department!

“Oh my god, is Night Phoenix about to reach new heights?!”

“Is it too late to join Night Phoenix now?!!”

[Ding! Prestige +10+10+…]The students were both impressed and straining their necks, yet that area was completely obscured by the shadows of the trees. They could only see Ye Yunxi chatting cheerfully with that person, while the person opposite remained unclear.

So they really do know each other!!

The students’ eyes were practically popping out of their heads!!

“So, actually, the people from the Royal Military Academy came today not to see our School Festival?”

“Are you suggesting they came to watch Night Phoenix’s performance?”

“Heh heh heh…”
