Chapter 897: Chapter 86 Turning into a Red Phoenix Pill Chapter 897: Chapter 86 Turning into a Red Phoenix Pill After receiving the phone call from Yan Yu, Mei Yingxue went to the personnel department to retrieve Ye Jun’s file and started to review it carefully.

Assistant Officer, possesses magic treasures such as the Xuan Guang Ruler, Glazed Glass Lamp, and Red Dust Hundred Life Map, but mainly uses the Xuan Guang Ruler to provide protection for the Dragon Soar Team. The reason is naturally that the Assistant Officer is far from comparable to Sword Immortals and Magic Cultivators in terms of aggression–defense, restraint, and support are the expectations and positioning given by the Military Manor.

At the Foundation Establishment Hua Fu Stage, the defensive Xuan Guang Ruler becomes extremely awkward, whereas restraints and support-type magic treasures become more popular. Hence, Yan Yu’s suggestion to transition Ye Jun into an Array Master is essentially moving from the defensive track to a closely related one, which is completely understandable in terms of motivation.

The only problem is, is Ye Jun suitable to become an Array Master?

Currently, within the cultivation system of Lu Country, there is no such occupation as “Array Master.” Although there have been cases of obtaining formation-related classics in the Mysterious Realm, most are extremely obscure and profound, even more difficult to understand than similar theories from other countries–like handing quantum mechanics textbooks to someone completely lacking in a science background, it would be a marvel if they could understand.

The breakthrough in this area owes much to the last time Yan Yu and Anna accompanied Mei Yingxue to Europe to collect data on the Shroud Barrier, then used these insights as a tool to make further progress.

This means it is a newly emerging track. If Ye Jun can succeed in this path, there will be virtually no competitors in the short term, and in the long term… Formations are an industry that heavily relies on experience, Lu Country will only assign more formation tasks to her in the future, just as they currently rely on the first batch of top cultivators.

After reviewing all of Ye Jun’s combat records again, Mei Yingxue confirmed she is an extremely meticulous person, rarely making mistakes due to carelessness. However, aside from this, her cultivation talent, reaction speed, and strategic vision–while not bad–are also not exceptional enough to be considered “strengths.”

Women who are especially meticulous without other advantages, even before the Spiritual Energy Resurgence, society had a common term for them: “Exam compilation prodigy”.

Thinking about it carefully, studying formations and preparing for an exam compilation are not much different; both require memorizing massive amounts of information and undergoing repetitive mechanical practice. The only difference is that learning formation knowledge is crucial for setting up formations, whereas the knowledge needed for exam preparation is utterly useless for clerical work, merely an artificially set hurdle.

Ye Jun…

Mei Yingxue put the file aside, thinking that this person might really be suitable to become an Array Master.

Of course, although there is a Sword Holder to help facilitate connections, the procedure still requires reporting for approval. Mei Yingxue would not specify that this is Yan Yu’s request, but there are always well-connected individuals within the system, and surely someone will guess it’s Yan Yu’s idea–so it doesn’t really matter.

On the other side, right after Yan Yu finished the phone call, he turned around:
“It’s settled, now just waiting for Teacher Mei’s notice…”

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Jun grabbed his collar and pulled him down onto the bed.

Kissing.

Unlike Zhou Hongyu’s impetuousness and Li Minghu’s tender sorrow, Ye Jun’s kiss is salty and wet–lips and teeth full of leftover alcohol and tears.

But also fragrantly imbued with alcohol and tears.

The alcohol provided in the base for cultivators is definitely not of poor quality; it’s the kind even old liquor bugs would lick up from the ground. As for the tears of a beautiful girl… The taste is indeed not great, salty and astringent, but recalling Ye Jun’s pear blossom tear-streaked, mournful face strangely adds a unique flavor.

Making a woman laugh out loud is too easy; just find a super funny joke online; but making a woman cry for oneself, can an average person manage that?

Ye Jun doesn’t know what Yan Yu is thinking, otherwise, she would definitely punch him a few times, enough to make his face bloom.

At this moment, she just entangled with Yan Yu forgetfully, as if to vent all the grievances accumulated in the Dragon Soar Team on him.

After a long while, they slowly separated, both lying back on the bed gasping for air, still holding hands.

“Just now… It didn’t seem like your usual style,” Yan Yu suddenly said, “I mean, Ye Jun, you were really unhappy in the Dragon Soar Team, right?”

“That’s definitely an understatement of how unhappy I was,” Ye Jun replied.

“People like Lord Master, being his deputy is simply suffering,” Yan Yu sharply commented, “No wonder you were so stressed.”

“It almost made me depressed,” Ye Jun said.

“Sometimes, you have to learn to express yourself,” Yan Yu suddenly felt some heartache for her, “If you’re unhappy, you have to speak up, you can’t keep it bottled inside. The less you talk, the more others feel justified, and the more likely they are to keep dumping work on you.”

“I’m bad with words, I can’t express myself,” Ye Jun said.

“Where are you bad with words?” Yan Yu frowned, “You match my words with witty replies, aren’t you quite articulate?”

“I flatter you because I like you,” Ye Jun said smilingly, “If I didn’t like you, I wouldn’t even bother with you.”

“Should I feel honored then?” Yan Yu laughed.

“No, I should be the one feeling honored,” Ye Jun suddenly rolled over, firmly pinning Yan Yu down.

She undid the ponytail at the back of her head and let her hair cascade down, as if a female magic cultivator had undone her own seal, and then she earnestly gazed at Yan Yu’s face.
