The crowd watching the excitement downstairs had dispersed, and continued to talk about their own topics as if nothing had happened.

I have to say, the rich aroma of wine mixed with the delicious food does not seem abrupt at all, but rather more harmonious.

As if to verify his guess, Gu Qingze went downstairs and observed the people around him.

Although Chu Lingxiao didn't know what he was looking for, he didn't disturb him and just followed him silently.

Finally, between the gaps among a group of people sitting around, Gu Qingze saw a figure in the corner.

When their eyes met, they were both surprisingly stunned.

Chu Lingxiao also looked in the direction he was looking out of curiosity, and for a moment he had the same reaction as him.

After a while, the two of them came to their senses, walked closer, and greeted each other.

"Su Han, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you in Nebula City."

Before Su Han could speak, he saw a little head popping out from his side, and judging from his appearance, he was a young boy.

Gu Qingze was a little surprised. He had not seen this young man just now. It was probably because his vision was partially blocked by the crowd.

When the young man saw Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao, he seemed to feel insecure and tugged at the corner of Su Han's clothes.

"Brother Su Han, are these two your acquaintances?"

Su Han glanced at them, thought for a moment, and nodded.

"....A friend."

"Wow, Brother Su Han actually had friends before!"

After the young man heard Su Han's words, his previous vigilance disappeared instantly, and he walked up to them as if he was a familiar person.

"I wonder what these two friends are called?"

"My name is Gu Qingze, and this is Chu Lingxiao."

Gu Qingze briefly introduced himself.

"Hello, my name is Song Jinnian, and I'm Su Han's junior fellow apprentice."

Song Jinnian greeted them warmly, "Since you are Brother Su Han's friends, then we are also friends!"

Gu Qingze smiled and nodded. He didn't mind being familiar with others. On the contrary, it would help him to get closer to others and avoid being too awkward when getting along with others. It would be much easier to have such a person in the crowd.

Su Han looked at Song Jinnian helplessly, and explained to Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao: "Don't mind."

Gu Qingze smiled, and understood the protection of his junior fellow apprentice in Su Han's words.

"Your little junior brother is quite cute."

When Song Jinnian heard someone praising him for being cute, his face turned red and he looked very excited.

"Thank you for the compliment, but... I would be happier if it was Brother Su Han who said that."

After saying this, he looked at the person next to him meaningfully, but it was obvious that Su Han did not understand the meaning of his words.

"Are you going to the demon world too?"

Gu Qingze asked, although he felt that he was asking a nonsense question, after all, most people who came to Nebula City were here to go to the demon world, but he just took the opportunity to bring up a topic and be polite.

"Yeah." Su Han replied.

Still the same words...

Gu Qingze couldn't help but complain.

Fortunately, Song Jinnian took over the topic and prevented it from falling to the ground.

"I'm going to the demon world to visit my relatives. I haven't seen my parents for a long time. Brother Su Han wants to accompany me."

Faced with Song Jinnian's ambiguous words, Su Han acted as if he had not heard it and did not refute.

"What about you? You're not going back to the demon world to visit relatives like us, are you?"

Song Jinnian seemed to understand the principle of give and take, and asked back.

"...I came to find a magical herb that is unique to the demon world."

Gu Qingze hesitated for a while, but still roughly told some unimportant information. After all, the temptation of "Sanshenghua" was too great, so it was better to be cautious. Besides, they did not lie, they just did not tell the whole story.

"Since we are both going to the demon world, maybe we can go together."

Song Jinnian suggested, his dog eyes full of anticipation.

"Besides, you two are both human. You won't be familiar with the demon world. Why don't you let me lead the way for you? Brother Su Han is sullen and doesn't like to talk much. If you two join us, it might be more interesting."

Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao pondered for a moment and felt that what Song Jinnian said made sense. This was better than being completely in the dark.

Moreover, Song Jinnian is Su Han’s junior fellow apprentice. Although his specific information is unknown, he is still more credible.

They looked at each other, nodded, and agreed to his proposal.

"Okay, let's go together then."

When Song Jinnian heard that they agreed, the light in his eyes became brighter and he looked very happy.

"Great!"

Although he really didn't want to pour cold water on him, Chu Lingxiao couldn't help but remind him.

"If we find anything along the way, we may be separated from you."

"It's okay. Brother Su Han has also taken on a lot of missions. He always disappears and doesn't wait for me to complete the mission alone. But he usually comes back the next day, so I'm used to it. You guys shouldn't go any further than Brother Su Han, right?"

Song Jinnian couldn't help but complain, and then looked at them with his innocent big eyes.

"...That won't happen."

Chu Lingxiao was slightly stunned. He was always wary of other people. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that Song Jinnian was not as harmless as he appeared to be... Of course, it was also possible that he was making malicious speculations.

"Since we're already traveling together, how about giving our temporary team a super nice name?"

Song Jinnian looked at everyone excitedly.

Gu Qingze: “?”

Chu Lingxiao: “?”

Su Han: “.”

Song Jinnian didn't care about the reactions of the people around him and made his own decision.

"Why not call it the Abyss Team! Doesn't 'Abyss' sound very domineering... Eh? The word 'domineering' also sounds super cool, how about calling it the Domineering Team, or the 'King' Team? What should I do? It's so hard to choose..."

Song Jinnian seemed to be in some kind of dilemma, even though these names didn't seem very good to others.

Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao considered that there was still food for them on the second floor, but Song Jinnian was still talking, so it seemed inappropriate to leave like that.

So they looked at Su Han.

"Do you suggest sharing a table?"

Su Han nodded.

After obtaining Su Han's consent, they asked the waiter to bring the food over.

While listening to Song Jinnian's lively words, he started eating.

I have to say, it's quite delicious...

After Song Jinnian finished speaking a long string of words, he looked at everyone and found that no one was listening to him seriously. He suddenly felt aggrieved.

"You... Brother Su Han doesn't want to listen, but you... I clearly want to discuss something very important with you..."

"It's not that we don't want to listen. We think the names you suggested are all good and we're struggling with them."

Chu Lingxiao swallowed the rice in his mouth and said perfunctorily.

In his opinion, it was unnecessary to name a temporary team... Besides, no one would listen to the name Song Jinnian came up with...

"Really? I knew that this kind of thing would be a struggle. After all, the names I come up with as a 'naming genius' are all so nice."

Song Jinnian was unexpectedly easy to coax and didn't notice the perfunctory tone in Chu Lingxiao's words at all.

“Is there really such a thing as a “naming genius”?”

Gu Qingze looked at Su Han curiously.

"He named himself."

Su Han's words seemed to have hit a certain funny spot in Chu Lingxiao, and he couldn't help but laugh.

Gu Qingze also started laughing.

Although Su Han didn't know what was so funny about his words, he didn't ask any more questions.

In the end, the name of their temporary team was unilaterally determined to be "The Domineering Team"...

Song Jinnian originally wanted to change the team to "King and Hegemony Team" but was stopped by everyone.

With the example of "The Kingly Team" in front, "The Domineering Team" doesn't sound so hard to accept.

What is this called? If someone wants to open a window, others will definitely disagree, but if someone says they want to lift the roof, then people will compromise and choose to open the window.

Sure enough, people like to compromise...

Gu Qingze sighed.

"Woohoo! The domineering team is established!"

Song Jinnian's cheering voice attracted the attention of people around him.

For the first time, Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao experienced the meaning of the word "shameful". Although they were not the ones who said it, they couldn't help but lower their heads slightly because they felt embarrassed for others.

Su Han seemed to have gotten used to it. He continued to pick up the food in front of him and eat it in small bites, as if the gazes of the people around him had no effect on him at all.

"By the way, you said you were going to the demon world to visit relatives. Could it be that you have half the blood of a demon beast?"

Gu Qingze wanted to divert Song Jinnian's attention and also because he was really curious.

Chu Lingxiao did the same and also looked at Song Jinnian, ready to listen attentively.

"....Well, no, my parents are both demons."

Song Jinnian's words surprised Gu Qingze a little.

But it's no wonder that he was surprised. Normally, if both parents are monsters, they will stay in the monster world to develop. Only those with half-monster bloodlines will consider leaving the monster world.

This is also why, when he was in Qingyun Sect, he had such a big reaction when he learned that Helanzhi was a fox demon.

"But my parents said that the demon world was too chaotic and it was unsafe for me to stay there, so I left them very early and went to live in the Wanjian Sect, which is a place where all humans live."

Song Jinnian explained.

"My parents told me this. They said that although the human race is also in chaos, they have laws and morals, and there is no estrus period that can cause monsters to lose control. At least they can maintain superficial peace. It is the safest place at the moment."
