Chapter Thirty-two: Visiting the Ice Emperor Again After a Year

  Standing with Mako at Rikka's high school building, Yuka is in a good mood. From today on, she's a high school student too.

  "Genichiro, Yafu." Yukimura and Yanagida approached the two siblings of the Sanada family to greet them.

  "Hello, Jing Shige and Lian Ergge." Yafeng greeted with a bright smile.

  "Huh? How did Yafeng cut her hair?" Kōmura looked at Yafeng, whose original long hair that reached down to her waist had now become short hair just passing her shoulders, and couldn't help but feel a few parts surprised.

  "Hehe, because it's good-looking, doesn't Brother Jing Shi think so?" Yafeng's smile grew even brighter.

  "Hehe, Yafeng looks good no matter what." said Yukimura with a clearly insincere tone.

  "Jing City brother is obviously just perfunctory." Yafeng said with a 'wronged' tone.

  "How could it be? Yafeng will always be a lovely little princess in our hearts, right, Genichiro and Renji."

  Liu nodded slightly, and Sanada's cold air deepened.

  "By the way, Yafeng will be our manager again later, so remember not to be late for today's club activity."

  Looking at Xingcun's smile that brings disaster to the country and its people, Yafeng scolded him in her heart, saying that he was Zhou Bapi, who clearly didn't have to participate in club activities during the first week of school.

  Yuki looked at Gafū's obviously displeased face and smiled even more brightly, "Gafū should know how to get to the classroom, let's go ahead." After saying that, he took both Ryū and Shinoda away, leaving behind a certain someone with an unpleasant expression.

  Yah Feng walked into the classroom with a resentful aura, and as soon as he entered, he saw the icy beauty waiting by the door.

  "Good morning, Yafeng-san." Kaito bowed respectfully towards Yafeng.

  "Quiet, early." Yafeng blew out a smile.

  Kaiyo was specifically brought over from Hyoutei because the Sanada family's elders thought she was an excellent child and believed that having her by Kaze's side could protect him while also giving him a companion, so she came. Although Kaze told her multiple times to call him Kaze, she insisted on calling him "Kaze-san", and seeing that communication was ineffective, Kaze had no choice but to give up.

  Yahui and her friends had just entered the classroom when Qian arrived.

  "Xiaohai, you've finally arrived! I missed you so much during this holiday."

  Yah Feng directly hung on Qie Yuan's body, taking the opportunity to rub against his seaweed-like hair. Qie Yuan helplessly pried open Yah Feng's claws and said: "It's too heavy!"

  "Hey, is Xiao Hai Bai looking down on me?" Ya Feng gazed at Qie Yuan with tears welling up in her eyes, as if daring him to say it was so that she could burst into tears.

  "Uh...", Qie Yu's forehead had three black lines hanging from it, "No."

  "Hehe, I knew Xiao Hai wouldn't abandon me. After all, we're brothers who have been through thick and thin together."

  Qie Yuan was already accustomed to Ya Feng's face-changing speed, which was even faster than flipping through a book, so she chose to ignore it. However, Hai Ye, who wasn't very familiar with Ya Feng's personality yet, was shocked, but her expressionless face didn't show much of it.

  "By the way, let me introduce you. This is Kaito Shizuka," Yafeng pointed at Kaito and said to Kirihara, then pointed at Kirihara and said to Kaito: "Shizuka, he is Kirihara Akaya, my little sea buddy. From now on, the three of us will be a trio!"

  "Alas."

  Qian Yuan and Hai Ye each had three black lines hanging from their faces, while the perpetrator was still laughing without a care.

  After the start of school, the days passed quietly and boringly. Yafeng, who couldn't stay idle, skipped Saturday's training and ran to Tokyo alone to find a handsome guy.

  Yah Feng ran to Bing Di first, after all, there are many rich people here, and also the Niu Lang team.

  When Yafeng ran to the Ice Emperor High School tennis court, they were having a practice match. Ninsu was competing against Tsubaibu. Yafeng quietly slipped between Cilan and Hyoudou.

  "Brother Ci, which one is better?" asked Yafeng.

  "Trailing 4:3." Zilang blurted out, and immediately realized that the voice was familiar. He turned his head to take a look and suddenly shouted: "Yafeng, how is it you? It's been a long time since you came to see Zilang!"

  Cui Lang's loud voice immediately attracted everyone's attention.

  "Hehe, everyone, long time no see." Yafeng awkwardly greeted.

  "Yafeng, it's been a long time since you came to our school." Xiangri complained.

  "That's because I was busy in junior high, and now I'm not. " Yafeng awkwardly explained, after all, in the past year, except for a few times during competitions, they hadn't seen each other at all, even Rinzu was only seen during monthly check-ups.

  "Ah, it's about time, Yakaze is here, let's hurry up and finish." said with a hint of impatience.

  "Don't try to fool me, if you dare to lose on purpose next week's training will be doubled." Zhang Yang said with a stern expression.

  "Ah, indeed, it's still Kiyoshi-sama who is the most gorgeous. It's been a while since I've heard your arrogant and self-loving voice, I really miss it." Yafuu said with an unbecoming tone, mimicking Nishizumi.

  Everyone on the tennis court burst out laughing, and Tsuba's face turned even redder, a typical mixture of blue and red.

  "Endure it, and take good care of that unglamorous woman in your household." Tsubo said, gritting his teeth.

  "Sorry, our family's Ya Feng is the biggest." Nian Zu said with a strong effort to hold back his smile.

  "Yu Shi Gege is so well-behaved." Yafeng chimed in.

  The Tsuba brothers suffered another crushing defeat at their hands.

  Like this, under Yafeng's disturbance, Ikibe and Shinzu couldn't fight anymore. The liberated Shinzu immediately stuck to his beloved younger sister.

  "You're not just here to have fun today, are you, Yafeng? This unpretentious woman has come to Ice Emperor for more than that." Tsubo also walked up to Yafeng and asked.

  "Ah, I know you, Mr. Traces. " Yafeng continued with a smile, "I came today to find you for the great four-school joint dormitory."

  "What's this 'four-school joint dormitory' thing? Sounds like something unglamorous." Tsubaki asked in puzzlement.

  "It's a training camp held by the regular members of the tennis clubs from the four strongest high schools in Kanto before the regional tournament begins."

  "Oh?" Traces of department hinted at elegant wind continued to speak.

  "Since everyone is already familiar with each other and has fought multiple times, they all know each other's special moves by heart, so there's no need to hide them anymore. Having a training camp before the regional tournament can improve Kanto's overall strength, and personally, it allows individuals to fight against different types of opponents during the camp to improve themselves."

  "It's a magnificent proposal," Tsuba nodded in agreement.

  "Which four schools are they?" Hidaka asked with great interest.

  "Not just us, Rikkai, Shitenhoji, Seishun and Fudomine too."

  "Hmm, we're in." Kiyotsugu's single strike settled it.

  "Hehe, I knew it would be a pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Kageyama. There's also something else I'd like to ask for your help with," said Yafeng with a flattering tone.

  Ji Bu's mouth twitched imperceptibly at the corners, and he knew that this girl was being so good to her because she had an ulterior motive.

  "Is there something you need me to help with?"

  "Hehe, I'll leave the accommodation arrangements to you then. After all, your family has plenty of luxurious villas anyway."

  "Is that all?" Tsuba seemed a bit skeptical that Yafeng would settle for just this much.

  "Hehe, you can help me solve this and that's good enough. One shouldn't be too greedy, right?"

  "Alright, this villa of mine will definitely be the most luxurious one, right, Katsuragi?" Tsubosa regained his usual arrogant and self-loving tone.

  "Yes."

  Yah Feng chuckled and said: "Which of you can be a liaison officer to discuss the accommodation with me?"

  "This is of course Minister Tsuba's doing, he's the minister after all." Nintasu said hastily, but with a sly smile as if others were blind.

  Yafeng looked at Renzu with disdain and said, "Alright, let's cooperate happily, Mr. Kojirō."

  Ji Bu self-consciously brushed down his bangs.

  "Alright, I still need to go to Qingyuan and Budong Peak, see you later."

  "Are you leaving?" asked Ninxia.

  "Yes, there's still much to be done."

  "If you have time, go home then."

  "Uh-huh, I'll be back for dinner sometime." With that said, he waved his hand and left them with a cool back view.
