Yelai took the registration form. The front desk staff, upon hearing this, stood up without hesitation and led Yelai to the Rank test.
"How many Rank tests do you want to take?"
Ye Lai answered cheerfully, "Yelai is doing Rank Six."
"Alright."
"Wait, I'm doing Rank Seven," Yelai interjected, raising a hand.
"Huh?"
Including the front desk staff, Xianya and Ye Lai turned to look at Yelai.
"Rank Seven?" Xianya asked, somewhat puzzled.
Ye Lai chuckled helplessly. "Yelai, you can't lie about your Rank. This affects your missions. You can't just inflate it to make Captain Luo look good."
Last night, they had all listened in on the phone conversation between Luo Zhenxue and Yelai, where they learned that Yelai's Rank was actually Six.
"No, I really reached Rank Seven," Yelai said with a light cough.
"Today, while passing through the Numbered Protection Zone, there was an Entity incursion. During the support process, my Rank was upgraded to Seven."
"Huh?" Ye Lai raised her eyebrows in surprise. "That's how you got to Rank Seven?"
Just as Yelai was about to respond, an unpleasant voice interrupted.
"I say, has your Eighth Squad fallen so low? This person looks older than Ye Lai and is only Rank Seven. Is this who you’re recruiting?"
Yelai turned to see who had spoken. It was a foreign Sequence with emerald-like eyes.
With a dissatisfied expression, he approached Yelai and the others.
"In the past, when I applied to join your Squad, Captain Zhenxue disagreed. I didn’t think much of it then; after all, compared to your Squad members, I really wasn’t anything special. But now I’m not blind—why is he at Rank Seven and allowed in while I was outright rejected?"
Facing the question, Yelai was not surprised. With Luo Zhenxue's strength and charm, he knew without thinking that even in the Numbered Protection Zone, she would undoubtedly be pursued and admired. There had been plenty of such feelings back in the Safe Zone.
However, he was somewhat curious about how this person dared to question so sternly, even implying blame. It was important to note that this was the Numbered Protection Zone, where strength reigned supreme. Luo Zhenxue was formidable; if she wanted someone in her team, others would not dare to question her so recklessly, even if they were dissatisfied.
But Yelai did not dwell on his doubts for long; after a brief contemplation, he formed a guess. Does he like my Zhenxue? Yelai turned to the side and asked Yezi, "Is he from the Four Great Families?"
"You got it right," Yezi replied with a smile, leaning in closer. "He is the most fervent admirer of Captain Luo in the Numbered Protection Zone, and he's from the Saint Ous Family—Saint Osdeau, Rank Seven."
No wonder. Yelai felt a surge of realization. His Zhenxue attracted admirers wherever she went, even in the Numbered Protection Zone.
As he pondered this, Saint Osdeau approached Yelai and his companions. He looked to be around the same age as Yelai and held the same rank. Yelai couldn't fathom why someone from the Saint Ous Family like him wouldn't be allowed into Captain Luo's team. What gave him that right?
He spoke without hiding his displeasure. "Aside from being handsome, I don't see what makes him better than me. Is Captain Luo choosing based on looks? If that's the case, does Captain Luo have a crush on this guy?"
Yelai instinctively glanced at Yezi. Yezi also sensed something and shot Yelai a knowing look.
Yelai understood Yezi's silent message: now you know why Deo is considered the most fervent pursuer.
At that moment, Yelai opened his mouth to respond but before he could speak, Xianya beside him reacted first during their shared gaze.
"Deo," Xianya interjected, "you’re absolutely right. Captain Luo is indeed interested in this person, and they have confirmed their relationship."
