Chapter 422: Chapter 368: I, Wen Wuya, am not a petty person

Looking at the photos sent by the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch, Wen Wuya suddenly turned his head toward Zhang Yu, who was indulging in food and drink at the banquet.

“Does he have a good relationship with Bai Zhenzhen?”

Wen Wuya’s first reaction was disbelief, because he felt these two didn’t know each other at all.

But with continued observation, Wen Wuya gradually sensed something odd.

“These two, although they don’t seem to talk or communicate, and have constantly been eating separately.”

“But… Bai Zhenzhen keeps glancing at Zhang Yu, and Zhang Yu keeps glancing at Bai Zhenzhen.”

“They seem to always be exchanging looks.”

Yet Wen Wuya still felt full of doubt.

“How could a Civil Engineering student have a good relationship with Bai Zhenzhen?”

Wen Wuya wasn’t looking down on the Civil Engineering students, nor did he have any discrimination or unfair treatment intentions towards them.

It’s just that from a scientific, Immortal Path, social, and reasonable standpoint, he always thought Sky Sword University should discontinue the Civil Engineering Department, moving it to one of the affiliated thirty-six military colleges.

But then he thought about the situation where he met Zhang Yu last time… could it be they met outside?

Just after a few words with some friends who came by, he suddenly found Zhang Yu missing.

Bai Zhenzhen was gone too.

“Both vanished together?”

Wen Wuya sent a message to Bai Zhenzhen: “Zhenzhen, where did you go?”

No response from the other side.

Wen Wuya initiated a call request, but the other side didn’t answer.

…

Zhang Yu: “Did someone contact you?”

Bai Zhenzhen: “Just that guy who came looking for me last time, ignore him.”

Bai Zhenzhen: “I’m leaving tomorrow, let’s make the most of the time so you can use the Spirit Root more.”

…

Long after, when Wen Wuya saw Bai Zhenzhen appear at the banquet again, he noticed a slightly sweaty Zhang Yu appearing shortly after.

His heart jolted: “Did the two of them just go out together?”

“What the Divine Monarch said was true, Zhenzhen really feels deeply for Zhang Yu?”

So when he saw Zhang Yu about to leave the banquet, Wen Wuya followed.

He blocked Zhang Yu in a deserted alley and asked, “Do you know Bai Zhenzhen?”

Zhang Yu was slightly startled, inwardly noting this wasn’t good as he faced Wen Wuya.

He reported the situation to Bai Zhenzhen, asking: What do I do? How do I answer?

Bai Zhenzhen: How did this guy find you? Did he suspect something?

Bai Zhenzhen: How about I say I forcefully cultivated you, and let him give you some hush money? Earn some spirit coins and explain the relationship.

Bai Zhenzhen: No, he probably thinks you aren’t valuable for cultivation, which would make him more suspicious. What if I say I ran into you by accident? You don’t have any injuries either.

At this moment, Fu Ji reminded: “Zhang Yu, your relationship with Bai Zhenzhen actually can’t withstand investigation.”

“Simply because you both came from the same layer, from Songyang City, from Songyang High School, it would reveal that you’ve known each other.”

“Your hiding is utilizing the general assumption that you two have no connection and won’t initiate an investigation.”

“But once someone starts suspecting, just a little digging will confirm you obviously know each other.”

“So at this time, don’t lie clumsily. Once a lie is exposed, it will only arouse further suspicion and curiosity.”

“Especially at this moment, don’t be nervous, remain calm and appear open.”

Fu Ji concluded: “Just say you and Bai Zhenzhen were high school classmates, there’s nothing wrong with that.”

After Fu Ji’s words, Zhang Yu gradually relaxed.

“Yes, even if he knows I knew Azhen, that’s no issue, just as long as he doesn’t notice we’re switching Spirit Roots.”

So Zhang Yu nodded and said: “Bai Zhenzhen and I are high school classmates.”

Upon hearing this, Wen Wuya mused with realization: “They were both poor from the same layer before, using rather primitive, outdated methods to become friends.”

Thinking of what the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch said, Wen Wuya’s eyes focused as he looked at Zhang Yu: “As high school classmates, do you and Bai Zhenzhen have a good relationship?”

Zhang Yu awkwardly laughed: “It’s alright.”

“Zhang Yu, right?” Wen Wuya said calmly: “I can offer you some money…”

Zhang Yu’s heart skipped, thinking: “Is he going to pay me, a poor man, to stay away from Bai Zhenzhen? Preventing me from using the high school acquaintance to access the current Bai Zhenzhen?”

Wen Wuya said calmly: “… teach me how to develop feelings with Bai Zhenzhen.”

Zhang Yu: “Huh?”

Wen Wuya continued: “By the way, have you and Bai Zhenzhen dual cultivated before?”

“Huh?” Zhang Yu quickly waved his hands and said: “No, no…”

Wen Wuya sighed: “That’s a pity. Otherwise, I could give you more money to teach me your experience.”

“You might have noticed, I, Wen Wuya, am not a stingy person. If money can buy something, I’m willing to pay.”

Fu Ji repeatedly said in Zhang Yu’s mind: “Opportunity, Zhang Yu! A good chance to make money is here!”

“You and Bai Zhenzhen team up to trick him, you’ll definitely be able to extract a lot of money from this guy.”

“Don’t be afraid, don’t be nervous, I’ll teach you how to say it!”

Zhang Yu sent the situation to Bai Zhenzhen, asking for her opinion.

Bai Zhenzhen: Do you even need to ask? This money is definitely in the bag.

Bai Zhenzhen: But hold on, ask him first why he wants to learn from you.

Bai Zhenzhen: Normally, people like him would just send me money directly to develop a connection.

Zhang Yu looked at Wen Wuya before him and asked, “If you’re trying to build a connection, why not just send money to Bai Zhenzhen directly?”

Wen Wuya remained silent for a moment, then said, “I have my reasons. I must develop a relationship with Bai Zhenzhen without spending money. Can you do that?”

Bai Zhenzhen pondered Zhang Yu’s relayed answer, and her heart sank, “Such terms? Could it be the master who set them?”

“Does he intend to use Wen Wuya to help me practice the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao?”

Bai Zhenzhen was uncertain about this, but she was sure that she greatly disliked this possibility.

“Wen Wuya, you’d better assist Yu Zi in climbing the Immortal Path first.”

On the other side, Wen Wuya looked at Zhang Yu in front of him and said, “Name your price. How many spirit coins for the insights into your relationship with Bai Zhenzhen?”

Zhang Yu said, “I’ve known her for so long, where do I start from?”

Wen Wuya said, “Then sell me all your chat records.”

Zhang Yu advised, “Different times, different settings—what’s the point of just looking at chat records?”

“Why not let me guide you on how to chat with Bai Zhenzhen.”

Wen Wuya’s eyes lit up, and he said, “Guide me?”

Zhang Yu said, “For example, you can send Bai Zhenzhen a message right now and ask if she knows the standard concrete ratio used at Wanfa University City.”

Wen Wuya frowned, “What does that accomplish?”

Zhang Yu said, “Do you not know that Bai Zhenzhen is interested in Civil Engineering? Building a connection starts from the other person’s interests.”

Wen Wuya doubted, “Zhenzhen interested in Civil Engineering? How could that be?”

Zhang Yu smiled slightly, “Why do you think I can still maintain a connection with Bai Zhenzhen? Because I’m a Civil Engineering student.”

“Azhen’s high school dream was to work at a construction site and be an esteemed civil engineering student.”

Wen Wuya was shocked again, still partially skeptical, but decided to try and sent the message to Bai Zhenzhen.

Zhang Yu logged into Bai Zhenzhen’s account, saw Wen Wuya’s message, and replied: [smile] Coincidentally, I’ve just learned about it: Wanfa University uses the classic ratio…

Wen Wuya was astounded by Bai Zhenzhen’s lengthy reply.

It was the first time he’d received an emoji from Bai Zhenzhen, and his first long reply from her.

Wen Wuya looked up at Zhang Yu and asked, “How much?”

Zhang Yu: “Huh?”

Wen Wuya asked, “The cost of your guidance?”

Zhang Yu thought to himself, “50 spirit coins? Or maybe 100 spirit coins? Fu Ji, what do you think?”

Fu Ji said, “What’s the rush? Long-term ticket—charging too much upfront might make him wary.”

“Let me think…”

Fu Ji observed Wen Wuya for a moment and said, “Ask for 10 spirit coins a month first.”

Zhang Yu said, “10 spirit coins per month.”

Wen Wuya was relieved by the cheap price and immediately added Zhang Yu as a friend, transferring 10 spirit coins.

Seeing the deposited 10 spirit coins, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but express again: “Damn it… after worrying for days over crypto trading, I barely made 3 spirit coins.”

“Yet these few words earned me 10 spirit coins, and it’s monthly.”

Fu Ji said, “Of course! Doesn’t trading need capital? How much can you earn with such little capital?”

“I’ve told you many times—deceit! That’s the best path for Kunxu’s poor.”

Zhang Yu wanted to transfer 5 spirit coins to Bai Zhenzhen, but she refused.

Bai Zhenzhen: It’s better not to have monetary exchanges between us.

Bai Zhenzhen: Plus, I don’t lack money.

Bai Zhenzhen: I’ll log back in and hand over Wen Wuya’s friend interactions to you; you can chat for me.

Bai Zhenzhen: Remember, don’t chat about random stuff.

Zhang Yu understood that this so-called friend delegation meant he would chat with Wen Wuya as Bai Zhenzhen.

Wen Wuya thought he was talking to Bai Zhenzhen, but it was actually Zhang Yu.

Just then, Wen Wuya asked, “What should I say next?”

Zhang Yu said, “Let her simmer for 12 hours.”

Wen Wuya couldn’t help but say, “12 hours? Isn’t that too long?”

Zhang Yu: “Trust me, it’s right.”

“She’ll definitely message you, don’t respond.”

After stalling Wen Wuya temporarily, Zhang Yu went to an isolated corner on the 88th floor of Wanfa University.

With Gang Qi surging and mana flowing, he began yet another round of cultivation.

“The last night.”

Zhang Yu thought to himself, “I must completely replicate the Green Lotus Sword Embryo!”
