“There are more women than men. Just focus on training. Don’t take anything else to heart.” Chu Liu knew that most of the members of the team had been training in the provincial team and the city since they were young. There was no one like Shi Sen, who had never trained before, so Chu Liu was worried that she would be ostracized.

“Yes, I understand.” Shi Sen looked at Chu Liu, but saw Feng Shu and a few other unfamiliar girls walking towards them.

“Chu Liu?” When Feng Shu saw Chu Liu and Shi Sen sitting together, she asked him in confusion, “You two actually know each other?”

“Yes, she’s a friend I met during practice.” Chu Liu’s tone was a little cold, but Shi Sen wasn’t surprised at all. In her previous life, Chu Liu was famous for being cold and reclusive. Almost no one could become close friends with him.

Because of their interaction in the village, Shi Sen originally thought that she had a misunderstanding about Chu Liu, but it seemed that he indeed gave outsiders this impression.

“She’s from the countryside and has never participated in a competition before, so why are you friends with her?” Chu Liu was the ace of the men’s team, so Feng Shu really couldn’t understand why Chu Liu seemed to have a good relationship with Shi Sen.

“Do I need your permission to make friends with anyone?” Hearing Feng Shu’s contempt for Shi Sen, Chu Liu looked at her unhappily.

Sensing Chu Liu’s protectiveness towards Shi Sen, Feng Shu was even angrier. Although Shi Sen came from a poor family, she didn’t look like a country bumpkin, so Feng Shu couldn’t help but feel a little jealous and she said to Shi Sen coldly, “Go practice with me now. How can someone who has never trained enter the national team?!”

Feng Shu deliberately raised her voice, which attracted the attention of many people.

“That’s right. If someone like you can enter the national team, won’t we, who have been practicing so hard since we were young, have spent so much effort in vain?” the girl beside Feng Shu said sarcastically. She was clearly very dissatisfied with Shi Sen.

“Shi Sen was chosen by Mr. Liu, so if you have any objections, go look for Mr. Liu.” Chu Liu’s expression darkened, since he didn’t expect the women’s team to be so hostile to Shi Sen on her first day here. It seemed that Shi Sen’s days wouldn’t be peaceful in the future.

“Chu Liu, we’ve known each other for so long, so how can you speak up for her?!” Although Feng Shu didn’t have a good relationship with Chu Liu, she had already known him for a long time.

“I’m just stating the facts.” Chu Liu ignored Feng Shu and gestured for Shi Sen to continue eating.

“If you don’t dare to compete, just say it!” Feng Shu crossed her arms and looked at Shi Sen disdainfully. “People without capabilities have to scram back to the village sooner or later!”

After Shi Sen put down her chopsticks, she stood up and looked Feng Shu in the eye. “Are you done?”

Sensing Shi Sen’s gaze, Feng Shu challenged, “What? Are you still unconvinced? Then compete with me to see if you’re qualified to train here!”

Chu Liu was about to speak up for Shi Sen when he heard Shi Sen say, “Alright, I can compete with you, but it’s not up to you to decide if I’m qualified to train here.”

“You’ve been busy all day, so compete with her tomorrow.” Chu Liu knew that Shi Sen had not rested well on the train at all, so he was worried that she would force herself despite not being in her best state.

“It’s fine. Don’t worry.” After saying that, Shi Sen walked towards Feng Shu. Although Chu Liu was worried about Shi Sen’s condition, he actually believed in Shi Sen’s ability. Although Feng Shu had many fancy moves, she definitely wasn’t as capable as Shi Sen.

Chu Liu was still worried, so he followed Shi Sen to the training ground.

There were many team members who came to watch. It was normal for everyone to spar with each other, but Shi Sen was a new member of the team, so everyone was a little curious about her.

“Chu Liu, how good is Shi Sen?” After a tall boy sat beside Chu Liu, he looked at Shi Sen and Feng Shu.

“Han Yu?” Chu Liu was surprised to see the boy. “You never paid attention to these things in the past, so why are you here to watch them compete?”

The boy called Han Yu smiled and scratched his head as he said to Chu Liu, “I heard that Shi Sen came back with you, so I was a little curious about her. Tell me, who will win?”

Han Yu’s capabilities were recognized by everyone on the team. The only person who could be his opponent was Chu Liu, so Han Yu paid more attention to things related to Chu Liu.

“Shi Sen will win,” Chu Liu said without hesitation.

Hearing Chu Liu’s answer, Han Yu was even more curious about this girl called Shi Sen. After all, Chu Liu was famous for having high standards. To be so highly valued by him, this girl called Shi Sen must be very impressive.
