Chapter 112: Special

Black Dragon immediately agreed with Shi Ji’s viewpoint without hesitation. From the beginning, he found Shi Ji to be an interesting person, and now he saw that his thoughts were equally unique.

He reached out and patted Shi Ji on the shoulder. “I understand now why Jing Xin both disapproved of you and valued you so highly.”

Because of certain incidents, Black Dragon had previously visited Yinshuang Academy. At that time, Jing Xin couldn’t stop talking about the new student. Now, seeing Shi Ji in person was indeed refreshing.

“You’re quite impressive. Please continue to lend us your support in the future.”

Shi Ji nodded and smiled, “Oh, I understand.”

Then Black Dragon turned to Lin Xinyan, “I have some matters to attend to at the Detection Center, so I’ll take my leave. Be careful, as anomalies can appear at any time.”

As Black Dragon left, Lin Xinyan kept watching him, her face filled with astonishment.

Shi Ji found this curious. “Oh, Xinyan, he’s already gone far. Stop staring.”

She immediately caught the undertone of Shi Ji’s remark and gave him a playful shove. Her small mouth quickly pouted, “What are you talking about?”

“Hehe! So, why were you staring at uncle Black Dragon?”

Lin Xinyan crossed her arms and gave Shi Ji a peculiar look. “Instructor Black Dragon is a very respectable person, but he’s not easy to get close to unless you know him well. You’ve only met him a few times, yet you seem closer to him than I am. He thinks highly of you, and you also have a good attitude towards him.”

Shi Ji laughed and said, “There are people you like and people you don’t. That Blade guy is one of those annoying types. Uncle Black Dragon is straightforward, knows right from wrong, and is a good person. Such people are suited to be heroes, just like you.”

“Me?” Lin Xinyan was clearly surprised. “What about me?”

Shi Ji replied calmly, “In my opinion, you’re even more suited to be a hero than uncle Black Dragon. You consider things more thoughtfully, which is why I like people like you. I don’t have many true friends, but you’re definitely one of them, and you’re very special.”

Lin Xinyan listened carefully to Shi Ji’s words, her mouth slightly open in disbelief.

She suddenly turned around, flustered. She covered her face with her hands, her eyes darting about.

“Idiot… idiot, what are you saying! What do you mean like? Idiot! Idiot!”

Seeing Lin Xinyan’s reaction, Shi Ji was puzzled. He scratched his head and murmured softly, “She seems to have misunderstood something.”

By the time they left the Star Alliance, ten minutes had passed. The heroes who attended the meeting were also leaving, and the place had quieted down considerably.

Lin Xinyan had brought Shi Ji along, originally hoping he could listen in on the meeting. But instead, he was left alone in the rest area. She felt guilty and had promised to treat Shi Ji to a meal as compensation.

For Shi Ji, this kind of rude demand was something he welcomed.

“Alright, let’s go now. Consider this my way of making it up to you.”

Shi Ji had no objections. Being treated to a meal was one of his favorite things.

Just as they were about to leave, someone called out to Xinyan.

“Hey! Miss Xinyan! Please wait!”

This voice sounded familiar to her. She turned and saw several people approaching: Wind Feather, Auntie Cai, Alloy, and another unfamiliar A-level hero.
