Chapter 26 (1/2)

Li Danming followed Chen An into the dormitory.

Many people were gossiping behind their backs.

“There is someone who dares to stay with Chen An? I remember that he is called Liu Ran. He was almost late for his last assessment. It’s that guy who was stopped at the doors but shamelessly forced his way in afterward.”

“Both Chen An and Liu Ran are weirdos, and coupled with that scaredy-cat, this dormitory trio is very inauspicious.”

“That’s right. We have to stay away from them in the future.”

Chen An was immune to these noises. Li Danming was cowardly and afraid of trouble, so he remained silent as he looked down and unpacked his belongings.

Only Liu Ran stood at the door with a smiling and cunning expression. “I heard that De Yuan is an amazing place. I’ve been very curious as to what is so amazing. I finally realized it now. Some people refuse to speak in the human language and insist on barking.”

Someone glared at Liu Ran furiously. However, they were aware that Liu Ran had a very powerful plant-based beast and didn’t dare to confront him directly.

Liu Ran did not hesitate to return the glare. “Besides barking, they have to cover their dog mouths and whisper softly. It’s so funny.”

He had hoped for a courageous person to come forward and give him a round of scolding. He could then compete with that group of people directly. It was a pity that all of them were cowards, and they compromised to avoid trouble. Liu Ran scanned around, and no one came forward. Instead, everyone quickened their steps and left.

“Boring.” Liu Ran turned around and stepped into the dormitory.

He believed he had done something gratifying and wanted to boast about it a little. Unexpectedly, he saw that Chen An and Li Danming had already unpacked and organized all their belongings. His bed was the only messy one now.

“H-hey… Both of you are too heartless!”

Everyone ignored him. Liu Ran was not familiar with Li Danming, so he approached Chen An. “Buddy, they’ve already said such words. Don’t you feel anything?”

Chen An sat down nonchalantly. Fortunately, De Yuan’s dormitory was quite spacious, and he could avoid Liu Ran’s hounding.

Those people were annoying, but they were all weaklings. If there had been a conflict, it would have been akin to a fist punching cotton wool. He might as well let time prove their capabilities.

The sky darkened, and it was almost the end of the first day at De Yuan.

Chen An turned around and saw Li Danming withdrawing into a corner again. This guy should have a limit to his timidness. It was exaggerated that he even felt timid in the dormitory.

In addition, he and Liu Ran were not some fearsome beasts. What was he afraid of?

“You…” Li Danming’s hands trembled and pointed outside the door. “Who are you? You have come to the wrong place. Don’t come in.”

Chen An then noticed someone standing at the doorstep. He had short and scarlet red hair that looked very striking. He had strong and muscular arms with many scars scattered on them. That man stood at the doorstep like a statue without moving or speaking a bit.

Li Ran was immediately on his guard. “Why? Did you come here to look for trouble?”

That man remained silent. He was standing there, expressionlessly.

Chen An also sensed the hostility. He could smell a trace of blood stench from him, as well as feel a strong and dangerous aura.

Someone appeared from behind him. This man looked more refined. He pushed up his spectacles and said, “I’ve already done a count. Everyone is in groups of four dormitory mates. This is the only dormitory that has one more vacancy.”

The bespectacled man was De Yuan’s dormitory manager. Every year, there would be students that could not successfully form dormitory groups, so he needed to find places for them.
