Time truly passed faster when one was busy.
Zhao Yunxiao had barely managed to sneak in his daily dose of meditation when the morning sun started to slowly rise above the horizon.
He got off his bed and stretched, casually loosening his nerves as he mentally prepared himself for the long day ahead.
Still, he did not take long to do so.
After double checking the items that he had in his spatial pouch, Zhao Yunxiao quickly left for the canteen.
“Senior Martial Brother Zhao! We’re here!” Lu Zhiying’s familiar voice greeted him the moment he stepped into the canteen.
It was a real feast for the eyes.
</a> They really needed to start thinking of other cheap ways to settle their meals, or they might just have to learn to get used to dealing with this attention on a daily basis.
“
Yeah, not too bad,” Zhao Yunxiao nodded while digging in. “There were a few hiccups here and there, but everything worked out in the end.”

Why would the prestigious Black Rose come to the canteen? It was not like they would care for the free food served here.

“I see...” Tu Shi shot a strange look at Zhao Yunxiao before turning back to Lu Zhiying, “As you were saying, Junior Martial Sister Lu?”
“Regarding that, would it be possible for Senior Martial Brother Zhao and Senior Martial Sister Gu to join along with me?” Lu Zhiying asked without hesitation.
“Them...?” Tu Shi was stumped by the question but quickly recollected herself. “I’m afraid not.”
Their looks might be rather decent, but they were definitely not to the point of being exceptional.
As for their talent, they could only be considered mediocre at best.
No, even if they disregarded all of that, Zhao Yunxiao was a guy as well!
This was simply an impossible request, to say the least!
“Since that is the case... thank you for the invitation, Senior Martial Sister Tu. However, I would have to politely turn down your kind invitation,” Lu Zhiying said with a smile on her face.
Her answer drew audible gasps from many of the disciples around.
While their active members had changed over the years, Black Rose was a group that had existed for a rather long period of time.
That said, this was actually the first time that they had heard of anyone rejecting an invitation to join the group!
Tu Shi was just as shocked as everyone else, but she did not let her feelings show. Instead, she immediately cast a suspicious glance towards Zhao Yunxiao.
She could not help but feel that there was something wrong with Zhao Yunxiao’s sudden outburst earlier.
Did he truly just want to give Lu Zhiying a friendly reminder?
Or did he have something on Lu Zhiying, using that opportunity to threaten Lu Zhiying not to join Black Rose?
“Can I have a private chat with you, Junior Martial Brother Zhao?” Tu Shi asked.
