Bei Yutang’s suggestion was ultimately agreed upon by everyone. No one objected, and the matter was settled.
Yan Jin suddenly spoke up, “I have another suggestion.”
Everyone looked at him.
“What?”
“For everyone’s safety, I think from now on we must operate in pairs. If anything happens, we can look out for each other.”
Bei Yutang nearly coughed up blood upon hearing this suggestion.
This was ruining her chance to get clues from Butler Sen.
“We have five people now, so how should we divide them?” Li Mengmeng frowned.
“That’s simple.” Yan Jin’s gaze swept over everyone.
“Two people in one group, three people in another. Who wants to be in a group with me?”
Li Mengmeng raised her hand first: “Me.”
“Okay, then Li Mengmeng and I will be in a group. The remaining three—Bei Yutang, Dr. Zhang, and Feng Qing—will be in a group.” Yan Jin assigned the task.
“What do you think?”
Dr. Zhang and Feng Qing had no objections, so what could Bei Yutang do but agree?
“We’re all in the same boat now, so we must help each other and discuss everything. Only by uniting can we get through this. The typhoon will pass soon; if we just hold on for three days, everything will be alright.” Yan Jin said earnestly.
Feng Qing, looking at his serious expression, couldn’t help but scoff, “Tsk, tsk, no wonder he’s a teacher. Look at how poetic he is.”
Yan Jin’s face immediately darkened. What kind of person was this?
Li Mengmeng, still seething from Feng Qing’s mockery, seized the opportunity and immediately retorted, “Teacher Yan is truly remarkable, unlike someone who is uncultured, only good at fighting, and spends his life as a lowly commoner.”
Bei Yutang frowned slightly upon hearing this. Before Feng Qing could retort, Bei Yutang spoke first, asking, “Li Mengmeng, I want to ask you something.”
Li Mengmeng looked at her suspiciously, asking in a less-than-friendly tone, “What is it?”
“Which country’s princess are you?” Bei Yutang said quietly.
The people present were stunned for a few seconds. After recovering, they looked at Li Mengmeng with strange expressions, while their eyes held a hint of admiration when they looked at Bei Yutang.
Good heavens, no one expected Bei Yutang to be so powerful; she’d defeated Li Mengmeng with a single sentence.
Li Mengmeng’s face turned ashen, her eyes blazing with anger.
“You…”
Bei Yutang ignored her anger, smiling at her.
Didn’t she discriminate against the lower classes?
Shouldn’t she look in the mirror and see who she is, daring to look down on the poor?
Bei Yutang originally didn’t want to argue with her, but her last words were too much for her to bear.
As the oldest among them, Dr. Zhang naturally stepped in to mediate.
“Hehe, everyone, say less. We just said we’d help each other, how come we’re already at each other’s throats? If everyone takes a step back, things will be fine.”
Dr. Zhang felt utterly exhausted.
These young people, they really were prone to outbursts and arguments, as if they couldn’t show their youthful vigor without a fight.
He had originally thought that Bei Yutang was a steady and calm person, but who knew that when she struck, her fighting power was off the charts, leaving her opponent speechless and only able to glare helplessly, sulking.
