When Sima You Yue saw his reaction, she smacked him hard the back ofhis head and yelled: “With you looking like a bear, even if this YoungMaster is perverted, I won’t choose the likes of you!!!”

Hearing this, Fatty Qu felt more a.s.sured and no longer wore the samehorrified expression on his face as he quickly switched and put on anamicable smile and asked: “May I ask why did Fifth Young Master stop mefor?”

Sima You Yue grabbed him and pulled him into the room, closing thedoor behind them and asked earnestly: “Fatty Qu, are you familiar withthe other three people? Do you know them well?”

Fatty Qu shook his head and replied: “Bei Gong Tang is a person offew words and she likes being alone, other than her name, she has neverdivulged anything else about herself.”

Sima You Yue touched her chin as she thought out loud: “Mmm..she hason that frosty expression, she doesn’t seem to like to interact withothers.”

“Ouyang Fei as well, other than his name and that he is a doublefaceted Spirit Master, we don’t know anything about his family, hisbackground or even where he’s from.” Fatty Qu continued sharing.

“d.a.m.n it. Why is everyone so mysterious!” Sima You Yue couldn’t helpbut exclaim out irritatedly. “How bout that last guy? Wei Zi Qi? Helooks amiable?”

“Fifth Young Master, although he is better looking, I’d advise you tohave any designs against him.” Fatty Qu quickly interjected when he sawthe expression on Sima You Yue.

“Why?” Sima You Yue asked in response, before the underlying meaningbecame clear to her, she smacked him hard on his shoulder and cried out:“Since when did I even say that I have any designs on him?!!”

“Well… your eyes were bright and sparkly when you spoke about him,almost the same expression when you look at Murong An.” Fatty Quanswered as he cast her a contemptuous glance.

“Cough cough, the past is the past. Now I’m a changed man and I’m nolonger interested in men.” Sima You Yue couldn’t help but cough slightlyin an embarra.s.sed manner. “Enough of this talk, Now tell me, why shouldI not have any designs on Wei Zi Qi?”

“Because he has quite a powerful background. He comes from thelineage of the Beast Tamers. Wei is the largest Beast Tamer clan in theNorthern Forest City, and they hold a very prestigious status in BeiChen Kingdom. Even though your Grandfather is the General, he is stillnot in a position to directly confront such a powerful Beast Tamer Clan.It is said that Wei Zi Qi is the direct descendant of the most talentedBeast Tamer, so you can imagine the status he has in his family.” FattyQu explained.

“Oh, so he hails from the Beast Tamer Clan.” She finally let go ofFatty Qu and sat down as she continued asking: “What are his Spiritattributes?”

“It’s the rarely seen Ice attribute coupled with Wood.” Fatty Qu said.

“Ice attribute? I thought there were only Metal, Wood, Water, Fire,and Earth for the various Spirit attributes?” Sima You Yue asked.

“Those are just the more common Spirit attributes.” Fatty Qu knewwhat kind of a useless piece of trash Sima You Yue had been before andit was completely understandable that Sima You Yue did not understandit, so he explained it patiently. “Beyond the basic five attributes,there are a few more rarer ones. Ice, Wind and Lightning attributes.However these are really very rare so not many people know about them.It’s said that perhaps among ten thousand Spirit Masters, you may beable to find one or two with such rare attributes.”

“That rare?!” Sima You Yue could not help but gape out loud.

“Yes, and I’ve also heard that their attacks are especially powerful.” Fatty Qu replied enviously.

“Why are you putting on such a disgusting expression?! Envious? Aslong as you work hard, you can also become as strong!” Sima You Yuechided.

“Haha, true.” Fatty Qu scratched the back of his head and looked down in embarra.s.sment.

“Well, now that I know more about the rest of them, now let’s talk about you, what is your attribute?” She asked him.

“Oh, I have a double attribute of Fire and Earth.” He replied.

“Fire and Earth attributes? Wow, not bad boy, didn’t know you had it in you.” Sima You Yue looked at him and cheered him on.

Fatty Qu wanted to roll his eyes, oh please, in the past you onlyknew how to chase Murong An, where in the world did he have the time tocare about a second character like him?

“Hmm? I thought that multifaceted Spirit Masters were rare? How arethere so many just in this one dormitory?” Sima You Yue asked curiously.

“Yes, that’s true, I’ve heard that there were even years where not asingle multifacet Spirit Master, and yet this year alone, four suchpeople popped up, and even amongst us there’s a tri faceted SpiritMaster. What’s even more coincidental was that the four of us were inthe same group and were lined up consecutively. Ouyang Fei was the firstwho was tested, next was Bei Gong Tang, Wei Zi Qi was the third and Iwas the fourth. You should have seen that teacher’s reaction then! Hewas shocked silly!” Fatty Qu chortled on as he thought back on theselection day.

He was surprised that chatting with Sima You Yue was actually quite fun!

She had witnessed the selection of Ouyang Fei and Bei Gong Tang, andhad left right after Bei Gong Tang got selected. She hadn’t expectedthat right behind would be Wei Zi Qi and Fatty Qu.

At that time that teacher was drowned in ecstasy when he had testedOuyang Fei and Bei Gong Tang. Adding in the the two other geniusesbehind, she could more or less imagine his expression then.

If he knew that she was a Perfect Prism, what would his expression be? Would he have died of a heart attack on the spot?

“But Fifth Young Master, why are you in the elite cla.s.s?” Fatty Qu could not help but ask.

“What elite cla.s.s?” Sima You Yue asked back in query.

“That’s our cla.s.s! We had the best results on the selection day so we are all in the elite cla.s.s. Do you not know that?”

“I have absolutely no idea, all I did was follow Feng Zhi Xing and he brought me here and gave me the keys.”

Is it because his Grandfather is the General? So he gets preferentialtreatment? Fatty Qu couldn’t help but think in that direction.

“Since Master Feng gave you the keys means that you are a member ofour cla.s.s. But you’ll have to be mentally prepared, the people in ourcla.s.s all have quite a bit of background, most of them are n.o.bles andcoupled with their talent, they are very arrogant, with your … prestigeand reputation, some people may not be able to take it and may come findtrouble for you.” He warned seriously.

“Haha, thanks for the reminder.” Sima You Yue smiled, did not think that this boy’s heart was pretty good.

“You’re welcome.” When Fatty Qu heard the word “thanks” coming outfrom Sima You Yue’s mouth, he was suddenly feeling that it was rathersurreal. In the past, they would have been utterly grateful if Sima YouYue had not tried to give them a hard time, they wouldn’t have dareddreamed that they would be thanked at all. “But as your grandfather is adecorated General of the country, people would normally be afraid tosay anything against you, and you will only have to be a little morecareful of some who might have come from big distinguished families.”

“Mmm, I know it now.” Sima You Yue nodded.

“Then, I’ll go back and get back to my cultivation.” Fatty Qu got up to say.

“Go, go. And thanks again for giving me so much information. When Igo back, I will get something delicious as a reward for you.” Sima YouYue said, patting Fatty Qu on the shoulder.

“Cough, cough. There….. is really no need for that. I will need to gonow.” When Fatty Qu heard that Sima You Yue was even going to get himfood, he immediately turned tail and ran.

It was widely rumoured, that the food the Fifth Young Master of theGeneral Residence prepared, was able to poison a hardy Spirit Beast todeath! He was still young and he did not want to die a martyr so soon.

Little Roar peeked open its eyes and said: “See? Didn’t I do a good job? I did not even say a word!”

“Not bad, we’ll do it this way from now on.” Sima You Yue said, full of praise for Little Roar.

Although Fatty Qu had said that he didn’t need Sima You Yue toprepare him any food as a reward, it was very early the next morningthat he was drawn by a delicious and enticing scent wafting out from thekitchen. When he got to the kitchen, his eyes widened in disbelief whenhe saw the figure bustling busily inside.
