Chapter 433 - The Young Lady, Zhou Yun
n
n433 The Young Lady, Zhou Yun.
nTian Du City.
nSword Card Master Association.
n
n
nLu Ming and the teenager in white had just come back.
n“Did anyone come by just now?”
nLu Ming pulled Li Haoran toward him and asked, “A young lady, one that is fair and pretty…”
n“Master.”
n
n
nLi Haoran felt awkward. “Senior Sister Xiaobai is still in the association. I will arrange this for you secretly when she is not around.”
nLu Ming turned sullen.
nWhat kind of a disciple was he! He should beat him to death!
n“Did someone come or not?”
n
n
nLu Ming said unhappily.
n“There was really no one.”
nLi Haoran shook his head. “There have been no visitors today.”
n“This is strange.”
nLu Ming pondered deeply for a moment.
nThe lady went to Tian Du City but did not go there?
n
n
n“I will look for her later.”
nThe teenager in white was crestfallen.
nAll he could feel was…
nDejection.
nThe feeling of being cuckolded.
n“Okay.”
nLu Ming nodded slightly.
nHowever…
n
n
nAt this moment, the Delivery Management Association of Tian Du City came to the association to investigate ‘suspected click farming’ of the Sword Card Master Association’s deliveries in the suburbs.
nLu Ming was speechless.
n“Did the Big Bird Association report us again?
n“Humph!
n“Those scoundrels!”
nLi Haoran was furious.
nEver since they were at odds with them, the association would create trouble for them from time to time. After all, the Sword Card Master Association had taken up the most profitable part of the business.
nWhat type of delivery was the easiest?
nLong distance!
nExpensive!
nVery urgent!
nOne trip was tantamount to more than hundreds of trips in the city!
nIn the past, those deliveries would go to the premium members of the Big Bird Association. Right now, almost all clients chose the more outstanding Sword Card Master Association for deliveries. The Big Bird Association was left with the large number of more tiring and difficult orders in the city. How could they not be upset? Therefore, they would make trouble for the Sword Card Master Association whenever they had the chance.
n
n
n“The Big Bird Association…”
nLu Ming took a glance and suddenly asked. “What type of food did the canteen prepare today?”
n“Fried shredded potatoes.”
nLi Haoran told the truth.
n“Oh…”
nLu Ming thought about it. “That is too plain. Let’s order food today and make the Big Bird Association deliver. When they arrive, make sure to bring out the testing equipment.”
n“Huh?”
nLi Haoran was confused. “What are we doing with the testing equipment?”
n“To stop them from spitting saliva into the food.”
nLu Ming sneered coldly.
nLi Haoran was even more confused. “If so, why are we engaging them?”
nIt would be quicker, safer and we could make money if the Original Cards made the deliveries.
n“No.”
nLu Ming smiled and said, “I wanted to see the resigned and unavoidable look on their faces! Humph. Since they like to stir up trouble, so be it!”
nLi Haoran was between laughter and tears.
nHis master was good in everything except that he was childish at times…
nCough.
nRight now, he was the acting vice president in the association. He had to interact with various organizations every day. Unknowingly, he had learned to remain calm in the face of minor disturbances.
nHowever…
nSince his master wanted to do that, he would make the arrangements.
nAlthough it was unreasonable and naive, on second thought…
nIt was actually quite cool.
nHence…
nDuring lunch time, the members of the Big Bird Association looked livid as they delivered their orders. They looked ashen as they noticed the testing equipment that was brought out by the Sword Card Master Association…
nTrue enough.
nAfter testing, four of the deliveries had been opened. According to the rules that if one was tampered with, they would compensate for ten of them, the Big Bird Association had to pay for the Sword Card Master Association’s deliveries that time.
nLi Haoran also lodged a complaint with the Deliveries Management Association.
nThe Big Bird Association turned green.
n…
nThat afternoon.
nCalm was restored at the Sword Card Master Association.
nLu Ming was in the midst of searching for information regarding Miss Zhou Yun. This was his first target. She was a talented young lady whose estimated talent increase was 20% and above!
nThis was the easiest candidate from the list.
nBoth her parents had passed away!
nShe was righteous and brave!
nShe had a clear distinction between kindness and hatred!
nShe was a standard protagonist!
nShe was the easiest to fool as well. If they failed to get her to join, there were no hopes in recruiting the rest on the list!
n“Zhou Yun…”
nLu Ming stared at the photo of the lady on the screen and was deep in his thoughts.
nShush!
nLu Ming sensed a shadow. His body sank and he was about to strike when he heard a miserable scream coming from under him.
n“President, spare my life…”
nThe teenager in white hugged Lu Ming’s thigh.
n“Get up!”
nLu Ming was between laughter and tears.
n“I won’t!”
nThe teenager in white was crying. “You said that you aren’t interested in her, but you look at her photo in secret and there are several balls of used toilet paper on the floor…”
nLu Ming became sullen.
n“Get lost!”
nLu Ming kicked him in anger. “I used those after eating food!”
n“I-is that so?”
nThe teenager in white stopped crying and took a look at the paper. It was indeed like what he had said. He felt embarrassed. “I thought… you were looking at her photo…”
n“What were you thinking of?”
nLu Ming’s expression was gloomy.
n“N-nothing.”
nThe voice of the teenager in white became softer and softer.
n“Humph!
nLu Ming snorted.
nWhy couldn’t the teenagers think of something more decent?
nForget it.
nHe could not be bothered to take issue with the teenager in white.
n“Since we are preparing to fool… to get Miss Zhou Yun to join our association, we must know everything about her, her life as well as her personality. How much do you know about her?”
nLu Ming asked.
n“I know all the details!”
nThe teenager in white was excited. “I contact her once every week on average.”
n“Oh?”
nLu Ming was interested. “What does she like?”
n“Showers!”
nThe teenager in white was very happy. “Miss Yun-er likes to keep herself clean. She bathes every day. Every time I go look for her in the evening, she wants to shower.”
n“Likes to shower?”
nLu Ming shot another look at him.
n“Yes!”
nThe teenager in white was very excited. There was a burning light and expectation in his eyes.
n“Every day?”
nLu Ming could not help but ask.
n“Yes.”
nThe teenager in white said seriously. “I used to ask her to chat on Tuesday nights and she was bathing. I looked for her several times on other days. In the end, she was always bathing. Therefore, logically, Miss Yun-er bathes every night.”
nThe teenager was very happy.
nHe was very proud of his mathematical deductions.
nLu Ming sighed.
n“W-what is wrong?”
nThe teenager felt unsettled.
n“It’s alright.”
nLu Ming patted his shoulder. “In the future, do remember to eat more coriander.”
n“Ah?”
nThe teenager in white was at a loss.
nSilly child…
nLu Ming sighed.
nThere was not much important information that the teenager could provide. He thought about it. Since the lady was part of the talent group, perhaps other talents had heard of her.
nThe reason was in fact very simple.
nDifferent groups had different content.
nProgrammers had their own groups. The common topics were overtime, idiotic product managers as well as… hairline.
nWriters had their own groups. The common topics were 404, readers who did not vote as well as… hairline.
nAnd so on.
nSimilar groups would have the same messages.
nAs such…
nIt was most reasonable to work from Miss Zhou Yun’s group to know more about her.
n“I-I am from that group!”
nThe teenager in white interrupted.
n“The two of you are too close. You might be biased.”
nLu Ming coughed. “The simplest question is do you know why she is looking for me?”
n“I don’t know.”
nThe teenager in white looked listless.
n“Look.
n“Multi-faceted understanding is more thorough, do you understand?
n“These days, ‘small movies1.Movies with sexual content’ have started to shoot from multiple angles. We must keep up with times. Do you understand?”
nLu Ming explained patiently.
n“Oh.”
nThe teenager in white did not fully understand.
n“You’re smart.”
nLu Ming praised him and decided to contact his elder sister.
n“Senior Lu Yan?”
nThe eyes of the teenager in white lit up.
n“Yes.”
nLu Ming smiled. “Have you heard of her?”
n“That’s for sure!”
nThe teenager in white was excited. “Goddess Lu Yan is the idol of our class. It is just that it is difficult to contact her as we heard that she is always at legacy sites.”
n“Difficult to contact??
n“Yes, I heard that many seniors have tried to contact her, but she only replies few days later.”
n“Oh.”
nLu Ming smiled and did not make any comments.
nHe switched on the communication device and sent a message to his sister. “Elder sister, have you heard of Zhou Yun?”
nLu Yan replied the next instant.
n“Zhou Yun?
n“The 16-year-old young lady?
n“Have you seen her?
n“You have a good judge of character.
n“I happened to have some contact with her in the past.
n“The young lady is quite famous and has good looks. She is a good person as well. She comes from a decent family and is quite talented. Her age is right for you…”
nShush!
nShush!
nMany messages popped up on the screen.
nThe teenager in white was dumbstruck, There were dozens of messages bubbles in one second.
nThis…
nWas this the legendary cold and aloof goddess Lu Yan?
nWait a minute.
nWhat is the meaning of ‘the age is right for you’?!
n“Elder sister.”
nLu Ming wiped his perspiration and hurried to stop her. “I am asking on behalf of my friend!”
n“Oh.
n“On behalf of your friend…
n“It’s such a pity.”
nLu Yan felt that it was a pity. However, a few seconds later, more message bubbles appeared on the screen. “Is your friend male or female?
n“What is their personality like?
n“How old are they?”
nLu Ming was dumbstruck. He looked in embarrassment at the teenager in white.
n“Uh—”
nThe teenager in white paused briefly. “She is indeed Senior Lu Yan… she types fast.”
nLu Ming was between laughter and tears.
nThis was strange.
nWhat was going on with his sister?!
nHe remembered that in the past his sister was worried that Little Lu Ming was interested in her and hence it was understandable that she recommended suitable partners for him. However, he had already explained it to her!
nWhy was it happening again?!
n“Elder sister.
n“I am only 17 years old!”
nLu Ming was helpless.
n“You are no longer a kid.”
nLu Yan sighed.
nLu Ming scratched his head.
nHis sister did not behave like this in the past…
n“Sister, what’s wrong?” Lu Ming asked cautiously.
nHe had the feeling that something must have happened and he was kept in the dark. Otherwise, his gentle sister would not have changed that fast!!!
nThis was not a novel and he did not skip any chapters!
nShe could not change instantly!
nLu Yan was suddenly silent.
nAfter a long while…
nLu Yan sighed. “We must ensure that… the Lu family line will be continued.”
n“Isn’t it that same for you?”
nLu Ming asked.
n“I…
n“I don’t think I will have the chance.”
nLu Yan suddenly smiled faintly. Her gaze was soft and gentle. “I have taken the wrong path. Therefore, you will have to take on the burden of continuing the Lu family line.”
nLu Ming looked bewildered.
nWhat did she mean by “the wrong path”?!
nPerhaps…
nCould it be that his sister practiced secret skills that required one to remove one’s sexual organs first?!
nFor example…
nThe Phantom Legacy.
nOr perhaps…
nHis sister might have encountered danger?!
nAt the thought of this, Lu Ming became serious. “Sister, you must contact me if you need anything.”
n“Okay.”
nLu Yan’s gaze was gentle and full of tenderness.
nOf course, she urged him to get married, but she was also very efficient. She had obtained information regarding Zhou Yun while they were chatting.
n“Lu Ming.
n“You must pay more attention to this girl,” Lu Yan said gently.
n“Oh?”
nLu Ming was shocked. “What is wrong?”
n“Take a look for yourself.”
nLu Yan sent the data to him.
nLu Ming took a look and trembled.
n—Zhou Yun, 16 years old. At the age of seven, her parents took her to gain experience in legacy sites. Something unexpected happened. By the time reinforcements arrived, the veterans only discovered a little girl who was being protected…
nThis was her background.
nAnd then there was her personality…
n—Someone commented that she was adorable and bright.
n—Someone else commented that she was indifferent and unflustered.
nOf course, if this was not a problem, there was the evaluation provided by the vice president of the Assassin Association. It seemed that Zhou Yun performed very well and was greatly appreciated in social activities.
nShe was capable, decisive, vicious, and merciless.
nAccording to Lu Yan’s classmate who was already a teacher at the Assassin Association, the data showed that during activities, Miss Zhou Yun killed everyone by herself…
nNo one was left alive.
nAs this was a social activity, the participants were real Assassins and they were very good at hiding their identities, therefore it did not cause a sensation. But a few of them remembered what happened!
nMiss Zhou Yun was not an ordinary person!
nThe teenager in white widened his eyes.
n“Impossible!
n“Our Yun-er is not that type of person!”
nThe teenager in white shook his head.
nA lot of geniuses in his batch liked Zhou Yun! This was because she was adorable and bubbly. She had a bright personality. One could never see traces of unhappiness or suffering on her face.
nHow could such a lady be vicious and ruthless?
n“No!
n“They must be mistaken.”
nThe teenager in white shook his head.
n“They didn’t say that she is an evil person.”
nLu Ming was between laughter and tears.
n“But they said that she killed a lot of people!!!”
nThe teenager in white was very furious.
nLu Ming cast him a strange look. “I have killed a few people as well. You father has killed even more people. According to you, are all of us evil?”
nThe teenager in white was lost for words.
nKilling people…
nFor him who had just graduated from high school, that was still a very foreign concept.
n“You’ll understand later.”
nLu Ming patted him on the shoulder.
nThis sentiment was very similar to the year when his class had graduated and was looking for a job.
nBefore one had a job, one was always full of anxiety about getting a job. Of course, after getting a job, one would probably get used to it in a week…
nIn this day and age, it was the same for killing.
nAs a cultivator, there was always such a day.
nAfter reassuring the teenager, Lu Ming focused his attention back onto the data regarding Miss Zhou Yun. He knew what his sister meant when she told him to be vigilant!
nThis lady…
nShe was not as simple as she seemed.
n“I understand now.”
nLu Ming nodded slightly.
n“Pay attention to safety,” Lu Yan told him.
n“Okay.”
nLu Ming hung up the communication device.
nThe teenager in white was still in a daze. Obviously, Zhou Yun’s recorded activities were very different from what he knew.
n“President.
n“I-I would like to take a look.”
nThe teenager in white clenched his fists.
n“Do you know where she is?”
nLu Ming was curious.
n“Yes.”
nThe teenager in white was beside himself. “Before she came to Tian Du City, she asked me if I knew a good place to stay. I recommended a hotel to her. She should be there.”
n“Okay.”
nLu Ming nodded slightly.
nHe thought about it and decided to go with him to be on the safe side.
nThe teenager in white had after all contributed to a 20% increase. He was considered a VIP member… He had to ensure his safety. If anything happened to him, it would be a pity.
nHence…
nLu Ming got ready and walked with him toward the hotel.
n…
nIt was a villa hotel.
nIt was very huge.
nThe two of them quietly landed. The rays of light at sunset shone through the window, illuminating the room. The lights shone on the soft and delicate features of the young lady, outlining her profile. It was mesmerizing.
n“Look.
n“That’s Zhou Yun!”
nThe teenager in white could not hold himself back from making this comment.
nThis was the girl that he knew!
nOne day, the two of them had chatted for a long time in a field. Like now, Zhou Yun had had a gentle smile on her face. His heart palpitated at the sight of her. This was how he had gotten to know Zhou Yun.
nHence…
nHe rushed into the hotel with excitement.
n“Zhou…”
nPfft!
nThe teenager’s excited voice froze.
nA dagger passed through his chest and there was a trace of blood.
nZhou Yun turned around indifferently. She was shocked to see the teenager. “W-why are you here?”
nImmediately afterward…
nShe pulled the dagger out, feeling bad about it.
nPoof!
nBlood splattered everywhere.
nThe teenager in white was stunned.
n“I’m sorry!”
nZhou Yun was somewhat nervous. “I didn’t know that it was you…”
n“It’s alright.”
nThe teenager in white covered the wound with his hands. Energy surged and he stopped the blood.
nFortunately, he had been training his physical fitness with Li Ergou. His pectoralis major muscle was prominent. The dagger did not cause serious damage and he could still withstand it.
n“I really didn’t know it was you.”
nZhou Yun passed the dagger to him in embarrassment.
n“Why don’t…
n“You stab me too?”
n
