Puzzled, Wang Xiao directly asked, “Academy Head, I...”

“I know what you’re going to say.”

Huang Tingwei waved his hand and interrupted Wang Xiao. His expression was clearly not too good. “As some unexpected situations happened, I made some changes. Let’s talk alone later.”

Wang Xiao agreed and obediently closed his mouth and retreated to the side.

Huang Tingwei looked at the other three. ‘Wang Xiao is a candidate chosen by Commander Chen. He’s not among the three spots. In other words, one of you, including Gao Lixuan, can’t go.”

Wang Xiao’s heart stirred when he heard this. He had already confirmed that Fang Tianyu and the other three would participate. After deducting himself, there were still four spots left.

Huang Tingwei was going to choose three people now, which meant that there was only one change in the number of people.

“Could it be that Commander Chen found another expert to join the group?”

Wang Xiao was thinking to himself when he suddenly felt his face burn. When he came back to his senses, he realized that Xu Junrou was staring at him with an unfriendly expression.

Seeing Wang Xiao looking at her, Xu Junrou asked coldly with a dark expression, “Did you already know?”

Wang Xiao knew that he was in the wrong. He pursed his lips and whispered, “I think the Academy Head will inform us immediately. There’s no need to say it again... However, I just found out about the three spots!”

“I don’t care how many spots there are. I don’t want to participate in such an event at all!”

Xu Junrou waved her hand fiercely and looked at Wang Xiao with disappointment. ‘What I want to say is that you shouldn’t have hidden it from me! Didn’t we agree previously that we would definitely inform each other in time if anything happened?”

Wang Xiao did not know how to explain and simply sighed without saying anything. When Huang Tingwei saw the two of them suddenly quarrel, his expression clearly became a little strange.

He did not know Xu Junrou’s true identity and goal, so he naturally did not know where this “agreement” came from. Seeing Wang Xiao and Xu Junrou quarrel like a couple, he could not help but suspect that there was something wrong with his memory.

After a few seconds, Huang Tingwei came back to his senses. He knocked on the table and said in a low voice, “Stop arguing! Let’s talk about serious matters first!”

Since the Academy Head had personally spoken, Xu Junrou could only give up for the time being. She glared at Wang Xiao angrily and looked at Huang Tingwei. “Academy Head, if you want Yi Han to go, you have to let me go with you!”

“Why should I?”

When Huang Tingwei heard this, he laughed angrily on the spot. “You just said that you don’t want to participate. Why do you have to go now?”

“I didn’t go to the academy’s ranking assessment last time, but the situation was special that time, so I won’t say anything. This time, I definitely won’t let Yi Han participate alone!”

Xu Junrou replied unreasonably. As she spoke, she elbowed Yi Han. “Don’t you think so?!”

At this moment, Yi Han was in a daze. He was stunned for a moment before nodding. “Yes, I have to be with Xiao Rou.”

“Hmm... It seems that there’s nothing wrong with my memory.”

Huang Tingwei nodded in his heart. Then, he looked at Zhou Xiruo. “Then do you have to be with Wang Xiao too?”

When Zhou Xiruo heard this, she seemed to have thought of something and blushed. She nodded and whispered, “1 want to go with Wang Xiao, but if Brother Xuan wants to go... I can stay too.”

“Sigh! What a good child! Unlike some people...”

Huang Tingwei glanced at Xu Junrou nonchalantly. Before she could fly into a rage, he continued, “Then it’s decided. The four of you will represent the academy to participate in the travel academy. There’s no need to inform Gao Lixuan.”

The three of them nodded, but Wang Xiao suddenly shouted, “Wait! I want

Brother Xuan to participate!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the four of them looked at Wang Xiao with different expressions, but they were basically puzzled.

“Did I hear wrongly?”

Xu Junrou blinked and asked in confusion, “You want Xiruo to stay and let Brother Xuan participate? When did your relationship with Brother Xuan become so good?”

“It has nothing to do with that.”

Wang Xiao waved his hand and deliberately avoided Zhou Xiruo’s gaze. He looked at Huang Tingwei and said seriously, “In short, this is my only request. I hope the Academy Head can fulfill it!”

Huang Tingwei narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Xiao. He vaguely guessed that the other party did not want Zhou Xiruo to encounter danger. He pondered for a moment and asked, “If I insist on letting Zhou Xiruo participate, will you withdraw from this trip?”

Wang Xiao hesitated for a moment before shaking his head honestly. “No.”n-.OvelbIn

“Then let Zhou Xiruo go!”

When Huang Tingwei heard this, he directly made the decision. Before Wang

Xiao could refuse, he said, “I know what you’re thinking. Let’s talk alone later.”

With that said, Huang Tingvvei ignored wang Xiao and began to arrange the school exchange.

Although it was said that there was an announcement, it was actually to talk about the purpose of this trip, the time of departure, and what they needed to prepare.

Wang Xiao had long heard of these things. Now that he heard Huang Tingwei say it again, the feeling of the school exchange being a cover in his heart became even stronger.

However, for some reason, the other three listened attentively. After all, this was the first time they had gone on a long trip. Moreover, they would be traveling at least half a year. It would be a lie to say that they were not nervous.

Ten minutes later, Huang Tingwei finished his instructions and waved his hand for the three of them to go back and make preparations. Then, he pointed at the empty seat in front of the desk. “Wang Xiao, come and sit.”

Wang Xiao came to an empty chair and sat down. He went straight to the point and asked, “Academy Head, why do you have to let Zhou Xiruo go?” “Then why don’t you want Zhou Xiruo to go?”

Huang Tingwei looked at Wang Xiao with a faint smile. “We’ve already said

many times that this is just an ordinary school exchange. Do you want your vassal lord to miss such a good opportunity to improve?”

“A chance to improve my ass!”

Wang Xiao could not help but curse. “Even if you don’t let me investigate, I know that this school trip isn’t that simple. Previously, I had no choice after Commander Chen chose the participants. Now that a newcomer is joining, why are you still dragging Zhou Xiruo along?”

Seeing that Wang Xiao seemed to be really angry, Huang Tingwei’s expression also became serious. “If you insist, I can change my words and let Gao Lixuan participate. However, do you really think it’s safe to stay in Kaiyang City?” Wang Xiao’s pupils suddenly constricted. “What do you mean?”

“I’ll only say this once—”

Huang Tingwei looked at Wang Xiao with a dark expression. “This school trip won’t be 100% safe, but Academy Head Qin and I will do our best to protect you. However, if we let Zhou Xiruo stay, once something happens in Kaiyang City, think about the consequences yourself.”

Wang Xiao’s eyes revealed a strange expression. “You mean that if there’s really danger this time, the affected range will be very large?”

“You’re imagining things, not me.”

Huang Tingwei shook his head as if he was denying it, but the subtle gaze he gave Wang Xiao seemed to agree with him.

Seeing this, Wang Xiao thought for a while and his expression gradually became shocked. “Could it be that this time...

“Shh!”

Huang Tingwei made a shushing gesture and muttered meaningfully, “Thinking too much will harm you. It’s better to be muddle-headed..”
