From Fu Chengyu's perspective, he saw Fu Jianzhi get up and walk away.
The other elders opened their eyes simultaneously, their eyes first filled with fear, then confusion, and finally a sense of relief at surviving a disaster.
Only they know what deal they made with Fu Jianzhi in Zhanlu's mental network just now.
Fu Jianzhi had a cold smile on his lips. Before leaving, he even bowed politely, his eyes and tone extremely sincere. "Thank you for your support, elders. If there's nothing else, I'll head back to the academy now."
He slammed the door shut with a loud bang, unrestrained and even somewhat arrogant, shaking off the years of dust from the roof beams.
The unassuming black ring still lay on the table.
Despite the discomfort caused by the damage to his mental strength, Fu Chengyu reached out to take the ring.
The moment his fingertips touched Zhanlu, the ring turned into thorns, piercing through his entire palm and pinning him to the table!
Zhanlu's voice echoed in his heart; it was the voice of a gentle man.
"Chengyu, I am very disappointed in you when we meet again."
“You’ve always known that my next master is Jane, and you were just a backup—I haven’t hidden that from you.”
"I didn't expect you would want to kill him because of this."
“Once the mental network is connected, the intelligence cores and their masters have no secrets. I know that when you and Jian were kidnapped, you gave the coordinates to the kidnappers.”
“You originally had other opportunities. Yu Chang has always been very optimistic about you, but unfortunately you ruined your own future possibilities.”
After Zhanlu finished speaking, he disappeared from Fu Chengrong's sight.
Before Fu Jianzhi had even stepped out of the main gate of the ancestral hall, he felt a slight coolness on his wrist. He gently rubbed Zhanlu, got into the car, and instructed the driver, "Back to the academy."
No. 1 Middle School.
Ruan Chen nudged Yu Xiaoya, who was lost in thought, for the thirteenth time, before turning her gaze back to the drawings on the tablet.
Tao Ran's message popped up: "Sister Bai, are you free to come over for a visit tonight?"
Ruan Chen: "Have you run into trouble again?"
Qingye Bar is now trying to promote Ruan Chen, but Ruan Chen has not lost a single game so far, so he is indeed worth promoting.
As Bai Xingdi's fame grew, his net worth also increased.
Tao Ran: "I don't know what kind of people they are. Judging from their accents, they don't seem to be locals. They're here to cause trouble. The boss's trump cards have all been beaten and hospitalized. Now you're the only one left."
Ruan Chen smiled and replied, "Aren't you afraid something will happen to me on the stage?"
Tao Ran: "Don't worry, I've told the boss about your situation. Your parents died early, and you have a younger sister and older brother to support. You can't risk your life. You go tonight. If things don't go well, we'll call a halt. You're just a young girl; there's no shame in admitting defeat."
Ruan Chen: "You didn't tell your boss who I am, did you?"
Tao Ran: "Your second uncle? He'd skin us alive. Are you coming or not? Three million for appearance tonight, half of it if we lose."
Ruan Chen: "Come on!"
In the dimly lit private room of the bar, Tao Ran picked up her glass, took a sip, and looked at the man standing by the window. "Brother An, it's all settled. Xiao Bai said she's coming over tonight."
Ye Zian, who was standing by the window, turned around and let out a soft sigh.
He didn't know Bai Xingdi's background, but he knew that she seemed to have just come of age. He wouldn't have let a girl support him if he wasn't forced to.
He signed a betting agreement with the other party, stipulating that if they won tonight, the Ye family would withdraw from the entertainment service industry in Jingzhou.
Ye Zi'an didn't want to sign the huge bet, but he didn't know what the other party's methods were, yet they managed to persuade the old man to put pressure on him and force Ye Zi'an to sign.
Ruan Chen arrived at Qingye Bar at almost nine o'clock.
The last class went overtime, and students were only allowed to leave after the final, most challenging problem was explained.
The people waiting in the stands were getting impatient and were clamoring for Aono Bar to refund their bets so they could quit.
There were also people planted by the other side mixed in, taking advantage of the chaos.
"Give me my money back! I'm quitting! You bunch of cowards!"
"Where's the boss? Boss, come out here and pay up! Are you rigging this game? How can you lose for three days in a row?!"
"What kind of bullshit ace are they? They're all useless trash!"
Ruan Chen left fake contact information, and Ye Zian couldn't reach her. She turned her gaze to Tao Ran.
"Brother An, Xiao Bai is on his way."
What's wrong with her?
Tao Ran couldn't possibly say that the teacher went overtime, so she just made up a lie: "She took the subway here during rush hour, it was crowded."
Ye Zian's eyes twitched, she sighed, and patted Tao Ran's shoulder, "Is Xiao Bai having such a hard time? If she wins this match, I'll give her a car, and I'll cover her brother's medical expenses."
Tao Ran told Ye Zian that Bai Xingdi's identity was inconvenient and that he needed to keep a low profile, so Ye Zishi arranged a separate dressing room for Ruan Chen.
She quickly changed her clothes and went on stage.
As Ruan Chen entered the stage, a thunderous roar erupted.
Tao Ran, wearing the Jade Fox mask, smiled at Ruan Chen, who was also wearing a mask, and bumped fists with him, saying, "Do what you can, and admit defeat if you can't."
To Ruan Chen's surprise, the person who was causing trouble on the other side was not tall, even considered short for a man, and his muscles were not particularly prominent.
His teeth were yellowed and black from smoking, but his face looked fierce and menacing, and his eyes were bloodshot from excitement.
Upon seeing Ruan Chen enter the stage wearing a mask, the man grinned, "Does Ye Zi'an have no one else to rely on? Sending a little girl like you onto the stage? Is the girl even an adult yet?"
Ruan Chen didn't reply. She lowered her head slightly, stroking the moon-white pendant around her neck, and examining the distribution of the man's muscles.
"How about this, Uncle will let you punch him, okay?"
Is there really such a good thing?
Beneath the Rakshasa woman's mask, Ruan Chen smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Uncle."
The sound was crisp and cool.
With a whistle, Ruan Chen lowered his body slightly, exerted his strength, and threw a punch at the man's diaphragm!
The man's contemptuous smile froze, and he staggered back a few steps, clutching his stomach as he knelt heavily on the ring, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth!
This scene was clearly displayed on the big screen.
The crowd below chanted, "Emperor Bai Xing! Emperor Bai Xing!"
Ruan Chen withdrew his fist and smiled coolly behind his mask, "Uncle, you're the one who let me throw the first punch."
The man's face was full of resentment; he hadn't expected Ruan Chen to throw such a tricky punch!
He grinned, stood up, and walked step by step toward Ruan Chen. "Little girl, you have to win one more round to win. This time, your uncle won't be careless."
He had one hand behind his back, with a faint silver glint at his fingertips!
