1108 Joining the Central Continent
It was because her friends were too loveable.

The next morning, when the guard captain of the mayor’s manor opened the heavy door of the mayor’s manor in admiration, he was stunned when he saw Sheng Xiao and the others standing side by side outside the door. Then, he shouted towards the backyard excitedly, “Mayor, Sheng Xiao and the others are here!”
Jun Qing stopped eating breakfast and hurriedly went to the main hall.
!!Seeing the seven young people standing in the middle of the main hall, Jun Qing knew what their choice was.
He felt gratified and happy.
However, when his gaze landed on the seven young faces, his heart ached.
Jun Qing knew very well that Sheng Xiao and the others were willing to join the Central Continent not because he was charming or because the Central Continent was technologically advanced and prosperous.
They only wanted to become strong as soon as possible and return to save their hometown.
They were once known as prodigies, but now, they compromised for their hometown’s sake.
At that time, their average age was only 30.
They were just a group of young people the same age as his grandsons. His grandsons were squandering his a.s.sets and fooling around all day long, but this group of young people was already at a level that even Jun Qing had to look up to.
“Sir.” Sheng Xiao explained their intentions, “After careful consideration, we have decided to join the Central Continent.”
Hearing this, Jun Qing was overjoyed. “I promise you guys that the Central Continent’s government will not mistreat you guys. Time will prove that your choice today is the right choice!”
Sheng Xiao said calmly, “Let time prove it.”
Jun Qing was overjoyed. He personally accompanied them to the administrative building and settled their registration as quickly as possible. After this day, the empty column on Yu Huang and the others’ ident.i.ty cards was finally filled—
Continent: Central Continent.

They only returned to the tavern on Five Lakes Street in the evening.
It was closing time.
There was a folding ladder in front of the tavern. On the ground, there was a broken sign with the words “Ice Rock Hotel.” Di Wu stood on the ladder as he tried to hang the newly customized signboard.
The cold wind blew past, blowing against his wide-legged pants, revealing the cold prosthetic limbs under his pants. It was a terrifying sight.
“Uncle Di, let us do it.” Sheng Xiao flew up and s.n.a.t.c.hed the tablet from Di Wu’s hand. Then, he hung it on the door of the tavern.
Di Wu raised his eyebrows and said, “Thanks.”
When he walked down the ladder, he saw that Yu Huang and the others looked a little dejected and sad. He narrowed his eyes and asked, “When are you guys planning to leave?”
Parting was a very strange emotion.
There was no need for them to say it clearly. The reluctance in their eyes were telling enough.
Yu Huang said, “Tomorrow.”
It was two days earlier than Di Wu had expected.
Di Wu sat down on the stairs in front of the tavern, but this revealed his prosthetic leg again. However, he didn’t care at all. He took out a crumpled pack of cigarettes from his pocket and smoked a joint.
“Where are you guys going?” Di Wu asked.
Feng Yuncheng replied, “To partic.i.p.ate in the Central Continent Selection Compet.i.tion.”
“Central Continent Selection Compet.i.tion?” Di Wu looked at them in surprise as he said, “So, you’re all joining the Central Continent?”
No one said anything.
Di Wu shook his head and said, “You guys don’t seem like the kind of people who would casually join the Central Continent. I thought you would carefully investigate the various continents first before making a decision.” He really didn’t expect Yu Huang and the others to join the Central Continent so rashly.
Sheng Xiao smiled calmly. “There’s nothing wrong with joining the Central Continent. As long as we enter the top 100 of the screening test, we can partic.i.p.ate in the intercontinental finals.”
Sheng Xiao had bowed down in the face of harsh reality.
Di Wu muttered, “When did you, Sheng Xiao, become like this?”
When he heard this, Sheng Xiao narrowed his sharp eyes and stared at Di Wu’s beardy face.
Di Wu sounded like he knew what kind of person he was very well.
Sheng Xiao’s gaze became unfathomable and he asked with a smile, “Uncle Di, how long have you known me? How do you know what I was like in the past?”
