Chapter 337 Arriving at Mudu

"Hurry, Chaoci, think about it again." Yu Cang said hurriedly.

"...I can't remember." Chao Ci rested his head on Yu Cang's head, "But I will try my best."

"Okay, that's troublesome." Yu Cang took a deep breath.

The soul card given to me by my parents... actually has such a great origin?

Something that existed before Chao Ci created all living things?

Although, when it comes to power, the older something is, the stronger it is not necessarily. But since it made an impression on Chao Ci, it must be pretty good anyway.

But it seems that Chao Ci really can't remember much... That's normal. Hundreds of millions of years are enough to erase too many things. Even a complete Chao Ci would not find it easy to bear such a huge amount of information.

Forgetting some memories is a reasonable way of self-protection.

Yu Cang didn't urge him any further.

After a while, Gu Jieshuang next to him slowly opened his eyes.

Yu Cang looked over and asked, "How is it?"

Gu Jieshuang smiled and said, "Xingchen asked me to thank you."

"That's good."

"Boss~"

"Um?"

"You performed well~"

…

A few days later

Qin Yueran informed Yu Cang of the official communication time.

At the same time, another message was conveyed to Yu Cang through authentication.

"Mudu University wants me to help build the bubble world." Yu Cang thought for a moment and said, "That's fine."

After the World Film Summit began, Yu Cang had also taken into consideration the issue of building bubble worlds in various cities.

The Holy City is an experiment.

Jieying is still just a child after all. Although there is no problem in theory to divide the world into two bubble worlds, there are still some concerns in practice.

Now, a month has passed since the bubble world was built in the Holy City. According to Yu Cang's observation, Jieying's body has basically not had any major problems - the main reason is that the rhythm in Feng Yuecang's room is quite advanced, allowing Jieying to supplement a lot of nutrition.

Moreover, the two bubble worlds were quite stable and did not collapse due to Jieying's departure.

Therefore, the task of building the bubble world must also be written into the process.

The bubble world is very useful for the growth of soul card masters and is definitely something that must be completed first.

But no matter what... it is still too difficult to support the entire Yan Kingdom relying solely on Jieying, the beast of consciousness.

Even though Jieying is gifted and has an incredibly large body, he can only prioritize configuring bubble worlds for the universities in the twelve cities of Yan Country. He is powerless to configure more than that.

"We still have to find more beasts as soon as possible." Yu Cang rubbed his brows.

Although the princess adjusted the attraction band and added some things that would interest the sentient beasts, up to now, all those attracted were still sentient insects.

If there is no beast nearby... then he will start to have a headache.

…

Yu Cang took Gu Jieshuang and Qi'er on the plane to Mudu.

Mudu is located in the northwest of Yan State, close to the border.

The terrain here is mostly grassland. In ancient times, countless spiritual beasts used this place as their territory. The power of the spiritual beasts changed the terrain here, so in fact, snow-capped mountains, forests, lakes and even volcanoes can be seen here.

Later, Mu Du did not make too many changes to the life traces of these spirit beasts, but preserved them as much as possible for use in trials for soul card masters.

After getting off the plane, Yu Cang took a deep breath.

"Ah... so fresh."

The environment around Mudu is well-preserved, so even in the city, the air does smell different.

Gu Jieshuang raised her head, and the vast sky came into view in an instant. In the blink of an eye, the quiet world fell into her lungs with the sound of the wind and seeped into every limb.

So cool.

She couldn't help but take a deep breath.

As expected, it’s the most pleasant to stay in such an environment... With the boss by my side, I feel that all the hardships I endured during the special training during the winter vacation are worth it at this moment!

Although the air in the mountains of Wuling Village was very fresh, she had a very miserable winter vacation.

She has to fight with Gu Zhihan every day... God have mercy on her, her mother is so strong, how can she possibly win!

After being tortured for a whole winter vacation, I am finally liberated!

Between the two of them, Qi'er also imitated them, straightened his chest and took a deep breath.

As a result, he choked himself.

“Cough cough… cough! cough!”

The girl's face turned red and she kept coughing. Yu Cang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He squatted down and stroked Qi'er's back.

On the side, Gu Jieshuang also came back to her senses. Seeing her like this, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. Then she took out a bottle of water from her bag and handed it to her.

"Yu Cang." Qin Yueran waved his hand. "Let's go. Let's go to Mudu University to meet the people there first, and then we'll take you to the hotel."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Yu Cang smiled and then picked up Qi'er.

All the members of the Combat Club came here.

However, Yu Cang was not the only one who brought his "family".

Mo Ran and Wang Chu both brought their girlfriends, and the others... although they were still single, they did not waste this opportunity. Some brought their roommates, and some brought their good brothers and girlfriends. Anyway, the main purpose was to have fun.

Anyway, the school reimbursed the cost of this exchange trip to Mudu, and the "family member" quota was well used, so most of the friends brought people with them.

There were only two people alone.

Lu Zihe and Xing Su.

It’s not that I don’t have friends.

It’s that their friends “just happen” to be “not available” at this time.

They were also quite puzzled, as if everything had been arranged beforehand.

Now, everyone else has someone to accompany them, so even if they want to play with others and make new friends... it's weird because everyone else is just chatting with their "family members" and no one pays attention to them.

There is no choice but for the two of us to walk together.

In response, Yu Cang just smiled and said nothing.

…

Mudu University

Battle Club venue.

Here everyone met people from the opposing combat club.

As soon as Qin Yueran met, he hugged the teacher from the combat club opposite. Seeing them laughing, it seemed that they were very familiar with each other.

After all, Teacher Qin even put down his thermos in order to hug him.

After hearing Wen Renge's explanation, Yu Cang realized that the man opposite was called Mu Long, and he was a classmate of Qin Yueran. They had also fought against each other in the college league that year, so they were very familiar with each other.

While the two teachers were chatting, the students from the Combat Club behind Mu Long were also chatting quietly, but... their eyes seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally moving towards Yu Cang.

While chatting, he looked up, his expression full of curiosity and amazement. Obviously, he had recognized Yu Cang, but due to the occasion, he was not too excited.

Qin Yueran didn't chat with Mu Long for too long. After a few brief greetings, the two introduced themselves to each other as members of the two combat clubs. Then, Mu Long took a few people to the arranged hotel.

Yu Cang was in a state of going with the flow throughout the whole process.

After all, it is an exchange activity...some procedures still need to be followed, and Yu Cang understands this.

Fortunately, there are not many tasks today, and the real communication will only start tomorrow. After returning to the hotel, we will be free to do whatever we want.

Of course... Yu Cang himself definitely doesn't have any free time yet.

Sure enough, as soon as he returned to the hotel and hadn't even sat down for a while, people from the president of Mudu University came up to him and invited him to the conference room for a chat.

…

"Yu Cang!" A burly man with bright eyes came forward and shook hands with a pair of bear-like hands. "I've heard that young friend Yu Cang is a hero from a young age. At such a young age, he's already famous in Yan Country. Seeing him today, I can see that his reputation is well-deserved!"

"Hello, Principal Huyan."

The muscular man in front of him was none other than the president of Mudu University, Huyan Zhan.

Yu Cang followed Hu Yanzhan to the conference room, where quite a few people were already seated. Many of the people sitting at the oval conference table were familiar faces—they had met at the World Film Summit.

Seeing Yu Cang, all the state guardians and masters in the room stood up and started applauding.

This scene really scared Yu Cang and Gu Jieshuang. However, Qi'er stood in front of them with his head held high and his chest puffed out, looking quite impressive.

Although the girls are not even as tall as the conference table.

"Principal Huyan, what are you doing?" Yu Cang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "Hurry up and get everyone to stop."

Even though this conference room isn't big, the people who can sit here are all bigwigs. Just a casual wave of their hands can cause a stir, but now they're welcoming me with a standing ovation...

Although it sounds very impressive, as the person involved, Yu Cang just felt extremely embarrassed.

"Master Yu Cang, don't worry, you are definitely worthy of this standard." A national guardian said.

"Yes, don't worry about these old guys. Don't be polite. Just treat yourself like you're at home." Hu Yanzhan waved his hand, "Come, sit down quickly."

Yu Cang saw that the seats for the three of them were in the center, as if they were treating him as the person with the highest status. He looked around and saw that he could no longer refuse, so he simply didn't hesitate and sat down.

Qi'er also came forward happily and was about to jump onto the table, but was stopped by Gu Jieshuang.

"Boss, Principal Huyan, Qi'er and I will go sit over there." Gu Jieshuang whispered.

Hu Yanzhen frowned: "Hey, why are you being so polite... Those old men are shameless, don't care too much about their reputation."

"No, no, thank you for your kindness, Principal Huyan."

She knew in her heart that she was able to enter this room because of Yu Cang. If she was really ignorant and sat in the center, it would be really unacceptable.

Even if no one says anything, there is no guarantee that some gossip will not spread secretly.

"Um... okay then." Hu Yanzhan did not insist any more.

There was a conference table in the middle of the meeting room, with a number of chairs placed around it. The one sitting at the table was the guardian of the state, and the ones sitting around him were naturally the grandmasters.

After finding a secluded corner with Qi'er and sitting down, Gu Jieshuang breathed a sigh of relief.

There's just so much energy in this room.

She was just a weak and pitiful fifth-level soul card master, and had never seen such a big scene... or the corners and crevices were more suitable for her.

In fact, Gu Jieshuang felt very pressured sitting next to these masters. Fortunately, there were not many people in the corner she chose, only a young man about her age - probably the only young man in the room.

"Sister." Qi'er looked rather regretful, "Why don't you sit next to brother?"

"Be good, Qi'er." Gu Jieshuang could only console him, "That's where the adults talk, and we two can't get a word in, so we won't go over there, okay?"

"Hmm...Okay then." The girl was easily comforted. After hearing the reason, she sat down on the chair obediently.

…

suddenly.

"Are you Yu Cang's girlfriend?"

A voice came from the side.

Gu Jieshuang was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw... the young man sitting next to him was looking at him.

"Well...I am." Gu Jieshuang nodded, and subconsciously became expressionless when facing strangers.

"..." Zhao Yang seemed to be choked by her aura that kept strangers away.

But he quickly adjusted himself, turned his head to look at the conference table, and said calmly, "Hello, my name is Zhao Yang. Perhaps you have heard of me."

"Zhao Yang?" Gu Jieshuang was slightly surprised. "The genius who created something legendary at the age of fourteen?"

“…It’s me.”

Gu Jieshuang finally understood why a young man appeared in the conference room where the master had to sit aside.

"Hello, I'm Gu Jieshuang."

"Hello." Zhao Yang smiled gently.

His face was a little pale, his body was not strong, but not thin either. He wore a pair of glasses on his nose, and looked very scholarly.

In fact, in this conference room, this kind of temperament is a bit abrupt.

Because... here, although many big guys are card makers, they all look like strong men, and a burly build seems to be the most basic combination.

"I've been hearing about Yu Cang these past few months," Zhao Yang said. "He's very powerful. To be able to stay by his side, you must be very powerful too."

"Um...it's just so-so." Gu Jieshuang is not very good at communicating with strangers.

"..." Seeing that Gu Jieshuang had no intention of chatting, Zhao Yang could only get straight to the point, "Actually, I have something I want to ask you."

"Things? ...Tell me first."

"It's not a big deal," Zhao Yang said. "Originally, I wasn't qualified to enter this conference room, but the teacher insisted on bringing me in. He must have wanted Yu Cang to help him and see if he could treat me."

Zhao Yang didn't say what the treatment was, as if he was sure that Gu Jieshuang must know.

Gu Jieshuang knew for sure that after Zhao Yang created the legendary work at the age of fourteen, he was admired by many people and received unprecedented attention from Mudu University. He also received many honors. However, his talent seemed to have suddenly been exhausted, and he became a nobody in just a few months.

Although this may indeed be a story of Zhongyong's tragedy - but Zhao Yang's light dimmed so quickly that it is hard not to think of some accident.

"So, you want to..."

"I want you to talk to Yu Cang." Zhao Yang's face was calm. "Don't worry about me."

"Ah?" Gu Jieshuang was stunned. "Why?"

"...I can solve my own problems," Zhao Yang said. "I don't know if Yu Cang is truly capable of treating me, but no matter what, leave me alone—just consider it a sign of respect for me."

"Is that so?" Gu Jieshuang nodded in understanding, "Okay... I'll pass it on."

"Thank you." Zhao Yang smiled, "And - thank Yu Cang for me. Xingtian Vision is a very beautiful place."

"good."

Gu Jieshuang turned around and looked towards the conference table.

Is it because of the arrogance of being a fellow “genius”?

She had heard of Zhao Yang, and Yu Cang had a high opinion of him. She knew that Zhao Yang really had the opportunity to create a summoning method.

At the age of fourteen, he had already found the threshold to a new summoning method... This sounded even more impressive than the boss.

Perhaps, it was precisely because of this that Zhao Yang was unwilling to accept help... just like the boss at the time did not want to accept Ren Zheng's help and just studied alone in his own little room.

…

While Hu Yanzhan was chatting with Yu Cang, he glanced at the side and secretly clenched his teeth.

This kid Zhao Yang...

He himself was unwilling to go out, and he had to work hard and use all means, and spent a long time to make arrangements with the association before he finally got the opportunity to communicate with Gu Du and invited Yu Cang.

Otherwise, why would the association be willing to let Yu Cang come to Mudu for his second stop? Compared to Mudu, giving the third bubble world to the Imperial Capital is obviously more meaningful.

On the one hand, I do this to benefit the scholars in Mudu, and on the other hand, it is also for you, kid!

In the past few years, he had invited countless people to treat Zhao Yang, but none of them had any effect. After seeing the Starry Sky Vision and learning about Yu Cang's deeds, Hu Yanzhan knew that if there was really someone who could cure Zhao Yang, it would definitely be Yu Cang.

Although young, Yu Cang can create miracles!

Moreover, Yu Cang has a complete rhythmic body, so he will definitely be able to discover more about Zhao Yang's "illness".

As a result, before he even had the chance to bring up the matter, you rejected it first?

And you want to solve it yourself... You've been researching it yourself for five years, and you haven't come up with anything yet. If you keep putting it off, you'll get old!

He just felt angry.

He is a national guardian, so his hearing is naturally impeccable. In such a small meeting room, although Zhao Yang's voice was low, it was no different from a loud conspiracy.

What do you mean by saying this to Gu Jieshuang? It’s obviously saying this to him as his teacher!

And in front of so many guardians of the country... it's really a hopeless case.

Wait, why did you just leave?

Evil disciple, evil disciple!

…

Mudu

A horse farm

An old man was taking a nap on the haystack.

Suddenly, his body seemed to pause, and then he raised his head, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Wait... this aura is... what the hell?"

He stood up suddenly and took off his hat. He was blond and blue-eyed, and he was obviously a Haiting person.

"It's the aura of a 'familiar'...it's actually real?"

His face was filled with excitement.

He has been in Yan Country for more than ten years just to look for one thing.

More than ten years is a long time for a person, and he even changed his habit of speaking to "fuck".

But Yan Country was too big. He traveled across most of Yan Country and still found nothing... He was already in despair.

But he didn't expect that today, he suddenly sensed that familiar breath.

"Wait... I'll be right there."

…

Public Security Bureau.

Pop.

A uniformed female security officer slammed a stack of documents on the table.

"Ah? What's wrong? What's wrong?" The male security guard in front of the desk was immediately awakened.

Zhang Shuting rolled her eyes.

"Still sleeping." She grabbed the man's hair with one hand and stuffed the document in front of his eyes with her other hand. "Did you see it? The target person has made unusual movements. It's time to get to work!"

"Okay, okay...hiss, if you have something to say, just talk it over and don't use violence."

"...Hey, Mr. Dan, look at how fat you are." Zhang Shuting let go of his hand and patted it with some disdain. "If you don't lose weight, the scales at the pig farm won't be able to fit you anymore."

"Just kidding." Bao Zeyu took a deep breath, "I'm from Bamboo Pole!"
