After the match, Jiang Mo and Li Xiang returned to the lounge together.
Li Xiang, his face full of excitement, clapped Jiang Mo on the shoulder and exclaimed, "Jiang Mo, you're amazing! A Champion! I knew you could do it!"
Jiang Mo smiled, his tone a bit modest, "This is just getting an admission ticket to the Shenzhou Alliance High School League; the real challenge is still ahead."
Li Xiang shook his head, a hint of emotion in his voice, "You, kid, are always so humble. Back when I first enrolled, I also participated in this tryout, but I only got second place..."
Just as Jiang Mo was about to respond, the lounge door was suddenly pushed open, and Mu Jinchen walked in.
His face was a bit tired, but his eyes still held a hint of arrogance.
He walked up to Jiang Mo and said frankly, "Jiang Mo, you are indeed stronger than me. I'm thoroughly convinced of my defeat."
Jiang Mo nodded, his tone polite, "You are also very strong, especially that Gallade. Its tactics and coordination are excellent. You truly live up to being a member of the Mu Family."
Mu Jinchen gave a wry smile and shook his head, "Losing is losing, there's nothing more to say. However, I didn't expect you to know I'm from the Mu Family."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mo's expression turned serious, "That shouldn't be hard to guess. Your surname is Mu, and you're so strong, so Mu Jinchen, you are indeed from the Mu Family, aren't you?"
Mu Jinchen nodded, a hint of pride in his voice, "That's right, I'm a member of the Mu Family. What, are you interested in the Mu Family?"
Jiang Mo pondered for a moment, then asked, "I want to ask about someone, Mu Qingxue, do you know her?"
When Mu Jinchen heard the name "Mu Qingxue," his expression instantly became complicated.
He frowned, a hint of vigilance in his voice, "You know Mu Qingxue?"
Jiang Mo nodded, his tone calm, "We were high school classmates. I lost contact with her after graduation. Seeing that you also have the surname Mu, I just asked casually."
Mu Jinchen was silent for a moment, seemingly weighing something, then slowly said, "Mu Qingxue is indeed a member of our Mu Family, but she is not from the main branch."
"But recently, her talent was discovered by the family's high-ranking members, and she received special cultivation. Now, her status among the young people of our Mu Family can be said to be the highest."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mo's heart trembled slightly.
He hadn't expected Mu Qingxue to hold such an important position in the Mu Family.
He continued to ask, "Where is she now? Is she still in the capital?"
Mu Jinchen shook his head, a hint of complexity in his voice, "She's not in the capital now. The family sent her to a special place. As for exactly where, I'm not sure either."
Jiang Mo nodded, feeling a bit disappointed, but his face remained calm as he said, "Thank you for the information."
Mu Jinchen looked at Jiang Mo, his tone meaningful, "Jiang Mo, I advise you not to harbor any illusions about Mu Qingxue."
"In a large family like our Mu Family, marriage is never a personal matter. Marriages between families emphasize strong alliances."
"I admit you are very strong and talented. In the future, you will at least be a Heavenly King Level powerhouse, but..."
"Unless your strength is strong enough to make the entire Mu Family bow down, otherwise... you should just give up."
What a joke, a Heavenly King Level powerhouse?
Who are you looking down on?
Once I develop, a mere Mu Family, you'll see if I don't take you down!
Jiang Mo smiled, not refuting, but merely said indifferently, "I was just asking casually, no other meaning."
Mu Jinchen nodded, saying nothing more, simply assuming Jiang Mo had understood the truth, and then turned and left the lounge.
Li Xiang, who had been listening, was completely bewildered. After Mu Jinchen left, he couldn't help but ask, "Jiang Mo, you and that Mu Qingxue... do you have a history?"
Jiang Mo shook his head, looking at Li Xiang, whose face practically screamed "gossip," and prevaricated, "Nothing, just high school classmates."
Li Xiang clearly didn't believe him and wanted to press further, but Jiang Mo had already stood up and patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, the match is over, we should head back."
Li Xiang shrugged helplessly and had no choice but to follow Jiang Mo out of the lounge.
As soon as the two walked out of the lounge, they ran into Lei Xiang.
She was still wearing that white dress, playing with a silver spoon in her hand, a faint smile on her face.
"Jiang Mo, congratulations on winning the tryouts," Lei Xiang's voice was cool, but her tone held a hint of sincerity.
Jiang Mo nodded, politely responding, "Thank you."
Upon seeing Lei Xiang, Li Xiang immediately became alert, blocking Jiang Mo, his tone full of displeasure, "Lei Xiang, what are you doing here again? I'm telling you, Jiang Mo won't join your Psychic Power Club!"
Lei Xiang glanced at Li Xiang, a hint of disdain in her voice, "Li Xiang, a man like you, with nothing but dead muscles in your head, how can you compare to us, the darlings of this world?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiang immediately flared up, "What did you say? Aren't you people from the Psychic Power Club just a bunch of freaks? Always acting mysterious, do you really think you're superior?"
Lei Xiang's face instantly turned cold, her tone laced with sarcasm, "Li Xiang, ordinary people like you will never understand our world of Psychic users."
"We are the ones chosen by the Creator God, born different, and you are just an ordinary person."
Psychic users like Lei Xiang have been different since birth, their Psychic often uncontrollable.
It is precisely for this reason that, in their childhood, they were always ostracized by others.
In the past, ordinary humans regarded these Psychic users as anomalies, full of prejudice and alienation towards them.
It was not until modern times that the situation slightly improved.
Perhaps influenced by past experiences of isolation, most Psychic users are reclusive.
Now, gathered together for warmth, they have gradually become conceited.
They stubbornly believe that only those favored by the Creator God can possess special abilities, as if only they are the darlings of this world.
Driven by this mindset, current Psychic users more or less look down on ordinary people.
Li Xiang's face turned red with anger, and he was about to retort to this crazy woman, but Jiang Mo reached out and stopped him.
"Senior Sister Lei Xiang, I understand the philosophy of the Psychic Power Club, but I currently have no plans to join any club," Jiang Mo's tone was calm but carried an undeniable firmness.
Lei Xiang looked at Jiang Mo, her tone a bit regretful, "Jiang Mo, your Tokiwa Power is very special. If you join our Psychic Power Club, we can help you develop this ability better. Are you really not considering it?"
Jiang Mo shook his head, a hint of apology in his voice, "Thank you for your kindness, but I still stand by what I said, I currently have no plans to join any club, and I believe no one understands Tokiwa Power better than I do, so how can you help me develop it?"
