The group of students who were with Feng Mo were also extremely surprised.
âItâs them!â The leader of the group muttered to himself.
âLeader Wan Dong, who are they?â Feng Moâs expression shifted slightly. Tong En and the others quickly engage in conversation with Wang Teng right after they ignored him. This made him somewhat uncomfortable, so he couldnât help but ask.
âTheyâre a fairly well-known team, and the identities of the people inside are not simple. Donât provoke them,â Wan Dongâs expression grew serious as he spoke.
Feng Mo clenched his fist, feeling extremely resentful towards Wang Teng. He had just achieved the first place on the Freshmen Leaderboard, only to be swiftly displaced by Wang Teng. He knew that many people were making fun of him.
It wasnât easy for him to come out on a mission with a team of old students, especially on the Scorpion King Star. He would be able to increase his ability.
He had thought that upon his return, he could surpass many new students. The next time he encountered Wang Teng, he would make Wang Teng realize who the stronger one was.
Unexpectedly, this opportunity came during the mission.
Fate had a mysterious way of working!
Of course, in Feng Moâs eyes, this wasnât fate at all but rather a case of unfortunate encounters.
His hasty attempt to distance himself from Wang Teng was motivated by a small scheme. He didnât want Wang Teng to join their team and receive assistance from the senior students.
However, he hadnât anticipated that while his team refused to accept Wang Teng, another team would express interest in him.
This left him feeling extremely frustrated.
Mind you, he had paid a considerable price to join the team of senior students, including aligning himself with their faction and offering some benefits. Meanwhile, Wang Teng had done nothing, yet another team was actively seeking his inclusion.
Why was the difference between them so huge?
âWang Teng, are you interested in joining our team?â After chatting for a while, Tong En finally extended an invitation.
Wang Teng paused for a moment, pretending to ponder the offer. In reality, he had already decided to decline. After all, these individuals didnât seem to have much luck, and he preferred not to team up with them.
âI think Iâll pass. I prefer to work alone,â Wang Teng finally said, appearing somewhat hesitant.
âIn that case, letâs leave it at thatâŠâ Tong En thought Wang Teng had agreed, and a smile appeared on her face. However, her smile swiftly turned awkward, and she looked perplexed.
(ââŻâ)
âWhat? Youâre not coming with us?â
Bi Yao, Wei Na, and the others were stunned. They didnât expect Wang Teng to reject their invitation.
Several of the new students who had wanted to join the senior studentsâ teams for missions were stunned to see Wang Teng declining their invitation.
It seemed like something wasnât quite right.
âHe actually refused??â
The onlookers were equally astonished by the scene, their faces displaying disbelief.
A new student had just rejected an invitation from the Snow Child Team!
Feng Moâs eyes widened slightly, and his previously stiff expression now appeared somewhat comical due to his astonishment.
Wang Teng declined!
Suddenly, he felt kind of empty.
What he valued seemed insignificant in someone elseâs eyes. He casually rejected it as if it were nothing.
âThis kid!â Wan Dongâs face turned gloomy, and he felt a slight burning sensation on his cheeks.
This new student dared to refuse an invitation from a team of senior students. Didnât this mean that they were worried for nothing?
He had no intention of joining their team. They were just thinking too much.
âIâm sorry, but Iâm used to working alone, and Iâm afraid that joining your team might affect the harmony of the group,â Wang Teng said, feeling a bit embarrassed by Tong Enâs reaction. He swiftly added an explanation.
âWell⊠thatâs quite a reason,â Tong En collected her bewildered expression, looking at Wang Teng speechlessly.
She wasnât stupid. She knew that Wang Teng was just making excuses.
What puzzled her was why he had declined them.
Was he looking down on them?
That wasnât right. The five of them were only at the heaven stage but they werenât weak. Their images within the academy were not small.
Could it be that he didnât know their strength?
âWang Teng, youâre alone and this is your first task. Iâm afraid it will be very dangerous.â Wei Na glanced at Tong En and helped to persuade him.
She knew why Tong En wanted Wang Teng to join in them. It was about extending favor to him, hoping for his assistance later on.
This mission to Scorpion King Star was related to that matter.
If things went smoothly and they could get Wang Tengâs help upon their return, they might be able to resolve the issue.
âYeah! Wang Teng, going alone is very dangerous. Join us. Iâm not bragging, but our Snow Child Team has substantial strength. You can look it up on the internal web to see what kind of team we are,â the young man from the Ape Race, Yuan Bai, chimed in.
âFurthermore, our Snow Child Team has a great atmosphere. We donât involve in a lot of internal fights. We cooperate and earn points together. We share benefits, and even if youâre a new student, we wonât look down on you. As long as you contribute enough, youâll get a corresponding share,â Bi Yao explained.
The onlookers were increasingly incredulous at the Snow Child Teamâs enthusiasm.
Had they lost their minds?
Wang Teng had already declined their offer, yet they were eagerly inviting him. What happened to the dignity of senior students?
