Chapter 565: Best Friend?

After Beidou finished introducing Yunjin, she turned around and continued to introduce the rest of the people to Yunjin. "This is Paimon, the one next to him is the famous traveler, and the one next to him is Lin Feng," Beidou said, pointing to the corresponding people with a friendly smile on her face. After that, Beidou's eyes fell on Shen He who was standing quietly at the side.

Beidou scratched his head, frowned slightly, and showed a confused expression on his face. He tried hard to search for Shen He, but in the end there was no clue at all.

Finally, she was at her wit's end and could only spread her hands helplessly, saying with a wry smile: "Oh, this girl does look unfamiliar... I wonder if we have met before?" There was a hint of embarrassment in Beidou's smile. She looked at Shenhe sheepishly, hoping to get some hints.

At this moment, Shen He, who had been standing quietly by the side, noticed Bei Dou's gaze on her. She opened her lips slightly and said softly, "My name is Shen He. Their... best friend." The voice was as clear and melodious as a yellow oriole singing out of a valley. Although it was soft, it carried an unquestionable firmness. It was like a clear spring in the mountains, pure and powerful.

Although Shen He's tone was still cold, Beidou didn't care. On the contrary, she laughed a few times with her head raised, and her laughter echoed in the air, which seemed particularly hearty. The laughter was like a spring breeze, blowing away the slightly awkward atmosphere around them, and making people feel her generosity and magnanimity.

After laughing, she patted her chest generously and said loudly: "Hahahaha... there's no need to be so reserved, sister! Since we are all friends of friends, then we are people who are in the same boat and will overcome difficulties together! Mr. Yun is also going to participate in the competition this time, so we came together!" Beidou's words were full of enthusiasm and generosity, and every word was contagious, making people feel particularly cordial, as if the distance between them was instantly shortened.

Yun Jin saw that she had almost finished introducing everyone. She nodded slightly, then took a small step forward. Her steps were light and graceful, like a blooming lotus swaying gently in the breeze, and each step exuded a unique charm. Her posture was like a dancing butterfly, light and agile.

Then, she opened her red lips and said softly, "I have long heard of your names. I am very lucky to meet you here today. Especially Miss Shen He, although this is our first meeting, I don't know why, I have a strong premonition in my heart - in the days to come, we will definitely be able to talk happily and become good friends who can talk about anything." Yun Jin's eyes were full of sincerity and expectation, and her bright eyes seemed to be twinkling with stars. She tilted her head slightly, with a gentle smile on her face, making people feel her friendliness and affinity.

As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Jin slightly turned sideways and explained her current situation in an elegant manner. She lowered her head slightly, and her eyes revealed a complex emotion, with both determination to pursue her goal and a little helplessness. "To be honest, I came to participate in this competition with a very clear purpose. It's because I urgently need to obtain the precious qualification to ask questions to Miss Ningguang." Yun Jin paused, sighed softly, and continued, "My father has always cared for me. In order to help me realize my wish, it took a lot of trouble. He mobilized a lot of connections, asked around, and finally found a piece of floating stone." At this point, she frowned slightly, and said with a little regret, "It's just that it looks a little small. Compared with those high-quality and larger floating stones, it is indeed much inferior. However, it is barely enough to cope with the current situation." There was a hint of helplessness in Yun Jin's tone, but more of it was the determination to work hard for the goal. She clenched her fists tightly, as if to cheer herself up.

After Yun Jin finished speaking, Paimeng showed no fear on her face. Instead, her eyes were wide open, as if a blazing flame was burning in her eyes, shining brightly. Paimeng flew excitedly in the air, her face full of excitement, and she shouted in a clear and loud voice: "Wow... So, aren't we competitors?!" Paimeng's voice was full of fighting spirit. She didn't retreat at all because of the appearance of her opponent. Instead, she seemed to be ignited with the passion of fighting and was always ready to meet the challenge.

After listening to Paimeng's words, Lin Feng nodded slightly in agreement, "Well, it seems to be true. But in my opinion, we have a sure win this time!" He crossed his arms, with a proud look on his face, and his confident tone seemed to have already firmly grasped the victory in his hands. He raised his chin slightly, and his eyes revealed a hint of disdain, as if he did not take the opponent in front of him seriously.

However, when Kong and Paimeng heard Lin Feng's almost arrogant words, they were stunned on the spot and were speechless for a moment.

Although the current situation does seem to have a good chance of winning, it is not necessary to say such nonsense as Lin Feng did, right? How can such an important matter be said so rashly at this time? Paimeng muttered to himself, and at the same time, he carefully glanced at Beidou and Yunjin who were standing not far away. He saw that their faces had become a little gloomy without knowing when, and they were obviously quite dissatisfied with what Lin Feng and Paimeng had just said. Beidou frowned slightly, revealing a hint of displeasure in her eyes. She felt that Lin Feng's words were too frivolous and could easily cause unnecessary conflicts. Yunjin shook her head slightly, with a look of disappointment on her face. The originally harmonious atmosphere was slightly cracked because of Lin Feng's words.

In an instant, the originally lively atmosphere seemed to be frozen by an invisible force, and it stagnated for several seconds. There was a hint of awkwardness in the air, and no one knew how to break the deadlock. Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere became extremely depressing, as if a heavy stone was pressing on everyone's hearts.

At this moment, Yun Jin, who had been silent all this time, finally broke the silence. She turned her head, fixed her eyes on Shen He, and then spoke slowly in a very gentle but somewhat doubtful voice. "Excuse me, Miss Shen He... Are you here to participate in this competition as well?" Yun Jin's eyes were filled with curiosity and probing. She wanted to understand Shen He's position in this competition, which was crucial to her next decision.
