Looking at Fu Hong’s message, Fu Xiyan was silent for two seconds before sending a reply.
Since Fu Hong took the initiative to ask, he couldn’t disregard Fu Hong’s good intentions.
Poor Fu Hong had no idea about Fu Xiyan’s thoughts, and gleefully set off to contact Jiu after receiving Fu Xiyan’s message.
Then he realized he didn’t actually have Jiu’s contact information.
So, he sent another message to Fu Xiyan.
[Fu Hong: Master, I don’t have Divine Jiu’s contact information.]
[Master Zhi: I don’t have it either.]
So, how did you buy this defense system?
[Master Zhi: Try contacting Ta through the Weaver Network.]
Fu Xiyan, recalling what Jiu last told him about "placing an order," sent another message to Fu Hong.
[Master Zhi: If Ta ignores you, you can try placing an order.]
Is that even a thing?
Somewhat disbelieving, Fu Hong opened the Weaver Network app and sent a private message to Jiu.
Great, he was being ignored.
Two minutes later, he placed an order and then Jiu replied!
Oh, no, it was an automatic response.
[Jiu: This Jiu is currently resting and will fulfill your order as soon as I am online. Please be patient.]
Even though it was just an automatic response, Fu Hong still held his phone, staring at the screen for a long time, transfixed.
Last night had brought a bout of rain.
In the early morning, the air carried a hint of freshness and dampness, mixed with the fragrance of grass and earth, which pleasingly assailed the senses. The trees by the roadside had also been washed clean by the night rain, their leaves shining bright green.
At the entrance of Sea City No.1 Middle School, the clamor was unending as groups of students walked towards the school gates.
Even though it was Saturday, the senior third year at Sea City No.1 Middle School had classes today.
Qiao Qingshu had just arrived at the school gate when suddenly someone popped out from the side.
"Hey, Qiao Xiaoer, good morning."
Qiao Qingshu didn’t look very pleased, and upon hearing the other person’s voice, she glanced over with disdain.
Lu Xingzhe, as if blind to the disdain in Qiao Qingshu’s eyes, raised his eyebrows at her and said, "So, did you succeed?"
Looking at his smug attitude, Qiao Qingshu only felt that he deserved a beating, but her face remained very cool as she retorted, "Don’t ask questions you already know the answer to."
After saying that, she looked away and continued walking into the school.
Lu Xingzhe, holding onto his backpack strap with one hand and his other hand in his pocket, lazily followed beside her, "Don’t ask questions you already know the answer to? How could I possibly know if you succeeded? Why not share the results of your action with me?"
Qiao Qingshu ignored him.
"Then I’ll just make a wild guess. Sister Shu, you’re so capable, you must have succeeded, right?"
As soon as Lu Xingzhe spoke, Qiao Qingshu’s already cool and emotionless face turned a bit ugly.
And yet, Lu Xingzhe, seemingly oblivious to that, fearlessly continued, "Sister Shu, tell me, who’s the fearless one trying to mess with Master Zhi?"
Hearing Lu Xingzhe’s annoying words and tone, Qiao Qingshu stopped in her tracks, turned her head, and gave Lu Xingzhe a mocking smile.
Seeing this reaction, Lu Xingzhe knew that if he went on, Qiao Qingshu would likely take action. He promptly turned his head to look at the distant sky as if nothing was happening, "The weather’s pretty nice today."
Qiao Qingshu saw this, calmly withdrew her gaze, and continued walking onwards.
Behind her, the two of them remained silent until they were nearly at the classroom. Qiao Qingshu then stopped, looked over at Lu Xingzhe, and asked, "Do you know why Ever Winning Army suddenly got involved?"
