The male Bald Instructor and female Bald Instructor's mouths twitched. Since every member of the Cheetah Hunting Team wanted Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi as captains, why were they even asking him?
*Did they really think if he disagreed, he could stop them from submitting the application?*
Plus, applying for registration was just a formality! Normally, nobody would jump out and block them—unless the top command center or the City Lord himself decided to specially revoke the application.
"Ahem ahem!" Under the expectant gaze of all the Cheetah Hunting Team members, the male Bald Instructor said, "So, for the rest of this month, the captain and vice-captain of the Cheetah Hunting Team would be Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi!"
The entire Cheetah Hunting Team, upon hearing this, laughed with joy!
*The Contractors at the Youth Training Camp were stunned. The former captain and vice-captain, what the hell were they so happy for? You just got replaced, and you're grinning like that?*
*Suddenly, it felt like Xiao Ye had pulled way ahead and was already leading the veterans!*
*Yi Luren was green with envy, totally jealous. Xiao Ye actually became captain of the strongest seventh-rank hunting team, the Cheetah Hunting Team!*
*Jing Ran, the repeat examinee, patted his chest, secretly relieved. Good thing he hadn't kept butting heads with Xiao Ye. People like Xiao Ye weren't meant to be rivals—they were made to be big brothers! Yeah, if he got a chance, he'd totally hang onto those coattails!*
"Instructor! I want to join the Cheetah Hunting Team too!" Right then, Nangong Siyao darted out, clinging to a huge creature, and batted her doe-like eyes as she made her request.
The male Bald Instructor shot her down right away, his face stern as he said, "Don't be ridiculous! You haven't formed a contract yet. Stay in the Youth Training Camp and keep training!"
Cheng Bingxi pouted and huffed, "Instructor! I'm the vice-captain of Cheetah Hunting Team now, and I approve Nangong Siyao joining!"
Xiao Ye nodded as well and said, "As captain, I approve too!"
Nangong Siyao grinned and bounced over, wrapping her arms around Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi's elbows. "With both our captain and vice-captain saying yes, what do you think, Instructor?"
The Bald Instructor's face darkened! He replied firmly, "No means no! Nangong Siyao, you're still a trainee at the Youth Training Camp. For this month, I'm still your supervisor and instructor!"
The main reason being, as the City Lord's daughter, Nangong Siyao needed constant security monitoring.
*Yi Luren snickered. Seemed like the goddess was sticking to Xiao Ye like glue, and yet she just ran into trouble! If Nangong Siyao stayed in the Youth Training Camp and didn't hang around Xiao Ye as much, that gave Yi Luren a chance!*
*Great, fantastic! Fate was finally on his side. His goddess was coming back!*
The Bald Instructor turned to the Team and smiled, "Are you all really okay with a girl who can't even fight off a Demon Beast with her bare hands joining the hunting team?"
The Cheetah Hunting Team all shouted in unison, "We are!"
"What?" The Bald Instructor's smile froze. In disbelief, he asked, "Say it again, yes or no?"
Again, the whole team shouted, "We are!"
The Bald Instructor's mouth twitched. He hurried over and called the City Lord. On the other end, a steady voice answered, "Hello!"
The Bald Instructor said, "City Lord, Nangong Siyao wants to join the Cheetah Hunting Team. What do you think?"
The City Lord replied, "What did the Cheetah Hunting Team captain say?"
The Bald Instructor's mouth twitched, a bad feeling creeping up. "The entire Cheetah Hunting Team just requested a captain swap. The current captains are Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi, and Xiao Ye agreed!"
"Then let Siyao join!" The City Lord laughed brightly and said.
The Bald Instructor was dumbfounded, finding the whole thing absurd. "City Lord, are you being serious?"
"More real than pure gold! That's it, I'm hanging up." The City Lord finished speaking and hung up.
The Bald Instructor stared at the disconnected communication device in his hand, standing there like an idiot for several seconds before finally sighing. He walked back to the front of the lineup and said,
"From now on, Nangong Siyao is out of the Youth Training Camp and in the Cheetah Hunting Team, supervised by captains Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi. Dismissed!"
"Hell yeah!" The radiant girl cheered, bouncing up and landing on Xiao Ye's back.
The smiles on the Cheetah Hunting Team's faces shone even brighter. She was a Divine Dragon Summoner!
A Golden Divine Dragon, Supreme Bloodline—for all those so-called noble-blood Demon Flood Dragons, she totally put them to shame!
This was a red-letter day. Two SSS-grade Summoned Beasts joined the Cheetah Hunting Team in quick succession—they were going to party tonight.
After everyone dispersed, watching Nangong Siyao clinging to Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi as they walked into the dorm hallway, Yi Luren looked anxious as he whipped out his communication device and called his father, the Military Pavilion Master,
"Old Yi! I've got major problems on my end."
The Military Pavilion Master replied, "Major problems? Hmm, there is indeed a big one—and it's something very important about you!"
*Yi Luren's heart leaped for joy. Sure enough, Old Yi still cared about his son—he already knew the goddess had joined Cheetah Hunting Team!*
"So what are you waiting for? Give the order and have Siyao leave the Cheetah Hunting Team and return to the Youth Training Camp!" Yi Luren was inwardly elated.
"Uh—" The Military Pavilion Master was at a loss, sighing as he realized he had to tell his son that Nangong Siyao had already formed a contract with Xiao Ye.
"Yao Yao has already regained her SSS-grade Summoned Beast template," said the Military Pavilion Master.
"What?" Yi Luren was momentarily stunned, then was overjoyed inside. "That's awesome! The important thing you meant was arranging for me to form a contract with Siyao, right? I'm in!"
*Before her awakening, both families wanted them to form a contract, but she failed her awakening and it all came to nothing. Now, who would've thought Nangong Siyao would recover her SSS-grade template?*
"So have Siyao leave the Hunting Team and form a contract with me!" Yi Luren laughed delightedly, unable to wait another second.
Ha ha ha! Xiao Ye, you already had a Contractor. The goddess was finally his goddess again!
"Sigh!" The Military Pavilion Master sighed, thinking his son was still that lovesick kid who never grew up. But a boy had to grow up sooner or later. Yi Luren, it was time to act your age.
Just as Yi Luren was about to burst from excitement, the Military Pavilion Master spoke up, "Son! Nangong Siyao has already formed a contract with someone else!"
Yi Luren was still deep in his own little fantasy, reflexively saying, "Great, she formed a contract, that's great..."
"What? Say that again?" As it hit him, Yi Luren's face froze, his body like a glacial block of ice.
*That old bastard, was he messing with him?*
The Military Pavilion Master said, "Nangong Siyao has already formed a contract with someone—the someone is Xiao Ye! From now on, forget Nangong Siyao!"
"Boom!"
The Pavilion Master's words landed like a bolt of lightning out of a clear blue sky, blasting Yi Luren's heart to pieces.
His eyes lost focus and he muttered,
*Si Yao formed a contract. The someone was Xiao Ye...
The someone was Xiao Ye...
It was Xiao Ye...*
"No!!" Under the willow tree, Yi Luren broke down and howled. A breeze swept by, the willow blowing and the northern wind cold.
Yi Luren collapsed to his knees, threw his head back, and wailed,
"Ah!"
"My goddess, my Si Yao!"
...Just then, an effeminate fake girl dodged the security cams, walked up beside him, patted him on the shoulder, and said,
...
