When Sima You Yue saw his reaction, she smacked him hard the back of

his head and yelled: “With you looking like a bear, even if this Young

Master is perverted, I won’t choose the likes of you!!!”

Hearing this, Fatty Qu felt more a.s.sured and no longer wore the same

horrified expression on his face as he quickly switched and put on an

amicable smile and asked: “May I ask why did Fifth Young Master stop me

for?”

Sima You Yue grabbed him and pulled him into the room, closing the

door behind them and asked earnestly: “Fatty Qu, are you familiar with

the other three people? Do you know them well?”

Fatty Qu shook his head and replied: “Bei Gong Tang is a person of

few words and she likes being alone, other than her name, she has never

divulged anything else about herself.”

Sima You Yue touched her chin as she thought out loud: “Mmm..she has

on that frosty expression, she doesn’t seem to like to interact with

others.”

“Ouyang Fei as well, other than his name and that he is a double

faceted Spirit Master, we don’t know anything about his family, his

background or even where he’s from.” Fatty Qu continued sharing.

“d.a.m.n it. Why is everyone so mysterious!” Sima You Yue couldn’t help

but exclaim out irritatedly. “How bout that last guy? Wei Zi Qi? He

looks amiable?”

“Fifth Young Master, although he is better looking, I’d advise you to

have any designs against him.” Fatty Qu quickly interjected when he saw

the expression on Sima You Yue.

“Why?” Sima You Yue asked in response, before the underlying meaning

became clear to her, she smacked him hard on his shoulder and cried out:

“Since when did I even say that I have any designs on him?!!”

“Well… your eyes were bright and sparkly when you spoke about him,

almost the same expression when you look at Murong An.” Fatty Qu

answered as he cast her a contemptuous glance.

“Cough cough, the past is the past. Now I’m a changed man and I’m no

longer interested in men.” Sima You Yue couldn’t help but cough slightly

in an embarra.s.sed manner. “Enough of this talk, Now tell me, why should

I not have any designs on Wei Zi Qi?”

“Because he has quite a powerful background. He comes from the

lineage of the Beast Tamers. Wei is the largest Beast Tamer clan in the

Northern Forest City, and they hold a very prestigious status in Bei

Chen Kingdom. Even though your Grandfather is the General, he is still

not in a position to directly confront such a powerful Beast Tamer Clan.

It is said that Wei Zi Qi is the direct descendant of the most talented

Beast Tamer, so you can imagine the status he has in his family.” Fatty

Qu explained.

“Oh, so he hails from the Beast Tamer Clan.” She finally let go of

Fatty Qu and sat down as she continued asking: “What are his Spirit

attributes?”

“It’s the rarely seen Ice attribute coupled with Wood.” Fatty Qu said.

“Ice attribute? I thought there were only Metal, Wood, Water, Fire,

and Earth for the various Spirit attributes?” Sima You Yue asked.

“Those are just the more common Spirit attributes.” Fatty Qu knew

what kind of a useless piece of trash Sima You Yue had been before and

it was completely understandable that Sima You Yue did not understand

it, so he explained it patiently. “Beyond the basic five attributes,

there are a few more rarer ones. Ice, Wind and Lightning attributes.

However these are really very rare so not many people know about them.

It’s said that perhaps among ten thousand Spirit Masters, you may be

able to find one or two with such rare attributes.”

“That rare?!” Sima You Yue could not help but gape out loud.

“Yes, and I’ve also heard that their attacks are especially powerful.” Fatty Qu replied enviously.

“Why are you putting on such a disgusting expression?! Envious? As

long as you work hard, you can also become as strong!” Sima You Yue

chided.

“Haha, true.” Fatty Qu scratched the back of his head and looked down in embarra.s.sment.

“Well, now that I know more about the rest of them, now let’s talk about you, what is your attribute?” She asked him.

“Oh, I have a double attribute of Fire and Earth.” He replied.

“Fire and Earth attributes? Wow, not bad boy, didn’t know you had it in you.” Sima You Yue looked at him and cheered him on.

Fatty Qu wanted to roll his eyes, oh please, in the past you only

knew how to chase Murong An, where in the world did he have the time to

care about a second character like him?

“Hmm? I thought that multifaceted Spirit Masters were rare? How are

there so many just in this one dormitory?” Sima You Yue asked curiously.

“Yes, that’s true, I’ve heard that there were even years where not a

single multifacet Spirit Master, and yet this year alone, four such

people popped up, and even amongst us there’s a tri faceted Spirit

Master. What’s even more coincidental was that the four of us were in

the same group and were lined up consecutively. Ouyang Fei was the first

who was tested, next was Bei Gong Tang, Wei Zi Qi was the third and I

was the fourth. You should have seen that teacher’s reaction then! He

was shocked silly!” Fatty Qu chortled on as he thought back on the

selection day.

He was surprised that chatting with Sima You Yue was actually quite fun!

She had witnessed the selection of Ouyang Fei and Bei Gong Tang, and

had left right after Bei Gong Tang got selected. She hadn’t expected

that right behind would be Wei Zi Qi and Fatty Qu.

At that time that teacher was drowned in ecstasy when he had tested

Ouyang Fei and Bei Gong Tang. Adding in the the two other geniuses

behind, she could more or less imagine his expression then.

If he knew that she was a Perfect Prism, what would his expression be? Would he have died of a heart attack on the spot?

“But Fifth Young Master, why are you in the elite cla.s.s?” Fatty Qu could not help but ask.

“What elite cla.s.s?” Sima You Yue asked back in query.

“That’s our cla.s.s! We had the best results on the selection day so we are all in the elite cla.s.s. Do you not know that?”

“I have absolutely no idea, all I did was follow Feng Zhi Xing and he brought me here and gave me the keys.”

Is it because his Grandfather is the General? So he gets preferential

treatment? Fatty Qu couldn’t help but think in that direction.

“Since Master Feng gave you the keys means that you are a member of

our cla.s.s. But you’ll have to be mentally prepared, the people in our

cla.s.s all have quite a bit of background, most of them are n.o.bles and

coupled with their talent, they are very arrogant, with your … prestige

and reputation, some people may not be able to take it and may come find

trouble for you.” He warned seriously.

“Haha, thanks for the reminder.” Sima You Yue smiled, did not think that this boy’s heart was pretty good.

“You’re welcome.” When Fatty Qu heard the word “thanks” coming out

from Sima You Yue’s mouth, he was suddenly feeling that it was rather

surreal. In the past, they would have been utterly grateful if Sima You

Yue had not tried to give them a hard time, they wouldn’t have dared

dreamed that they would be thanked at all. “But as your grandfather is a

decorated General of the country, people would normally be afraid to

say anything against you, and you will only have to be a little more

careful of some who might have come from big distinguished families.”

“Mmm, I know it now.” Sima You Yue nodded.

“Then, I’ll go back and get back to my cultivation.” Fatty Qu got up to say.

“Go, go. And thanks again for giving me so much information. When I

go back, I will get something delicious as a reward for you.” Sima You

Yue said, patting Fatty Qu on the shoulder.

“Cough, cough. There….. is really no need for that. I will need to go

now.” When Fatty Qu heard that Sima You Yue was even going to get him

food, he immediately turned tail and ran.

It was widely rumoured, that the food the Fifth Young Master of the

General Residence prepared, was able to poison a hardy Spirit Beast to

death! He was still young and he did not want to die a martyr so soon.

Little Roar peeked open its eyes and said: “See? Didn’t I do a good job? I did not even say a word!”

“Not bad, we’ll do it this way from now on.” Sima You Yue said, full of praise for Little Roar.

Although Fatty Qu had said that he didn’t need Sima You Yue to

prepare him any food as a reward, it was very early the next morning

that he was drawn by a delicious and enticing scent wafting out from the

kitchen. When he got to the kitchen, his eyes widened in disbelief when

he saw the figure bustling busily inside.
