Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 827: Chapter 826: The Attraction of Kindred Spirits

Talking is always the most time-consuming activity, but in a short while, people began to trickle into the combat room.

Among them were people with various medals, but the most common were the Earls, Barons, and others.

They saw Qiao Chenyi and politely greeted him, then looked at Gu Tong beside him, all guessing her identity in their hearts.

After all, being associated with someone as high-ranking as Qiao Chenyi means she couldn’t be an ordinary person.

That’s why they naturally regarded Gu Tong with more esteem.

Indeed, this is the privilege of being connected; from the first impression, they look at you differently. What’s going on? Gu Tong couldn’t help but sigh.

”Elder Qiao, have you heard of the Ghost King of the East District?”

Marquis medal bearer Yan Lishan broke the silence in the combat room, leaning on the table and putting his arm around Qiao Chenyi’s shoulder in a familiar manner.

”I’ve heard of him.”

Though Qiao Chenyi has been outside for a while, he had still heard of affairs within the Academy.

Moreover, the Devil King’s fame was widespread; despite his young age, he rapidly rose through the ranks, getting promoted twice just this year, and his name resounded across various academies.

”A few days ago, the Devil King came to our Academy as a temporary instructor. I assigned him a batch of new recruits, and I heard he almost drove them crazy, ha ha ha...”

Yan Lishan talked about the amusing incidents in the military, saying, ”For this operation, he will represent the East District in a joint mission with Shoucheng’s genius Qiao. I’m especially looking forward to it.”

East District Ghost King, Shoucheng’s genius Qiao.

White Dragon of the West District, Gentleman Thief of the South District.

Any one of them was recognized as a genius by the Academy, with remarkable military achievements. Some even predicted that these four would inevitably become rulers in the future, with becoming a Prince being just around the corner.

Of course, there are many Student Kings with similar credentials across various academies, but the fame of these four was indeed the most illustrious.

The combination of the East District and Shoucheng was a rare sight indeed.

”I’m looking forward to it too.”

Qiao Chenyi had long heard of the name Devil King, and being able to fight alongside him was considered a blessing.

As they spoke, the combat room gradually filled up, and it was almost full.

The hand on the clock moved and paused at one twenty-nine.

The doors of the combat meeting room opened once again.

Li Yan’s face was stern and handsome, with distinct features and long lashes drooping over his deep, glittering black eyes like black crystals, a high nose, and perfectly shaped lips.

He adjusted the jacket of his academy uniform, exuding a unique aura of regality!

Just standing there was enough to capture everyone’s attention, a mix of various glances—probing, positive, envious, and admiring—melding together.

Li Yan’s deep black eyes scanned the room, directly landing on Gu Tong. He looked at her spot for a long time before graciously taking a seat in a nearby empty spot.

This focal point and subtle glances, anyone with a keen eye would notice.

Some even started whispering...

”Did the Ghost King just look at Duke Qiao? Did they know each other from before?”

”One is from the East District, one from Shoucheng; how could they possibly know each other? It’s probably the attraction of the same kind. The Ghost King must be eager to cooperate with Duke Qiao.”

There were all sorts of speculations and remarks.

But none of them realized that Li Yan wasn’t looking at Qiao Chenyi, but at his own little dear wife, Gu Xiaotong.
