Chapter 668: Chapter 97 Reunion with Ye Jun_2 Chapter 668: Chapter 97 Reunion with Ye Jun_2 “So that’s how it is,” Ningning finally understood. “In the final analysis, it’s all because of insufficient resources and inadequate productive capacity.”
“Let’s leave the topic of freelance cultivators at this. The current situation is what it is, and if it exists, it’s reasonable. There’s no need to dwell too much on it.” Yan Yu waved his hand grandly and turned to ask Chen Lingyun, “The second batch of students screened through the college entrance exam this year should have already started school, right?”
“They started school last month,” Chen Lingyun said with a smile.
“Freelance cultivators are becoming more and more nurous, but our Zhenhai Team mbers are not without reinforcents.” Yan Yu said, “Never mind others, getting stronger ourselves is what really matters… Hold on, let take this call.”
He left the villa to go to the backyard and saw the call was from Ye Jun.
“Hello?”
“Old Yan, have you eaten?” Ye Jun’s hearty laugh ca through.
Honestly, Yan Yu had no prejudice against northern girls, but every ti he heard this kind of laughter, he couldn’t help but mistake the other party for a buddy.
“Yeah, I’ve eaten. What’s up?”
“If you’re free, co to Pingjing,” Ye Jun said. “There’s going to be a cultivators’ martial arts competition here. It’s quite crowded already and really lively, get over here fast.”
“Wait a minute.” Yan Yu laughed and said, “You can’t handle it anymore? I thought there were only a bit over fifty people?”
“It’s only a bit over fifty who passed the registration screening,” Ye Jun corrected him, “But there’s way more than that here to watch the excitent, try their luck, pull strings, and I heard there’s also the illegal sale of Elixir dicine going on.”
“Illegal sale of Elixir dicine?” Yan Yu was sowhat surprised.
Cultivation talent is random; the overall talent of freelance cultivators isn’t behind, and the greatest advantage Officially Trained Cultivators have is resources. Now that there are freelance cultivators capable of refining Elixir dicine, the higher-ups must be restless; no wonder there’s such haste to have over.
In ordinary tis, by adopting a strategy of rather killing incorrectly than letting go, you could catch these people and interrogate them to find the one selling Elixir dicine. But now, with the cultivators’ martial arts competition about to start, a widespread crackdown on freelance cultivators would surely cause unnecessary panic and might even ruin the higher-ups’ plan to recruit freelance cultivators…
Damn, I’m genuinely getting tempted!
Unfortunately, Yan Yu wasn’t the kind of lunatic whose pursuit of power trumped everything. He valued his current precious life with the girls more than ascending to the supre throne of the sky.
I have absolutely no interest in getting stronger!
However, to prevent potentially disruptive freelance cultivators from destroying the current harmony, it was necessary to beco strong enough to ascend to the throne of the sky. Thus, Yan Yu was also striving to beco strong enough to suppress everyone single-handedly—but not to the extent of disrupting the existing order; that would be getting things backwards.
If it weren’t for this concern, Yan Yu wouldn’t have chosen to beco an Officially Trained Cultivator in this life. Why not beco an unregulated freelance cultivator, using mories from a forr life to find a few powerful Mysterious Realms and live like a king?
“Exactly,” Ye Jun said. “Soone snitched to the higher-ups. Now, to avoid spooking the target, they are not making a big show of investigating.”
“The higher-ups want to hand this task over to ?” Yan Yu asked in surprise, “I’m not so professional detective, how could I know how to investigate a case? Call in the old detectives!”
“Didn’t you trace the clues and find Zhou Hongyu’s whereabouts when she went missing abroad?” Ye Jun said with a laugh.
For so reason, Yan Yu sensed a whiff of danger, but it disappeared as quickly as it had co—probably just his imagination.
“That was the work of foreign intelligence officers who already had plenty of clues, okay?” Yan Yu was not about to take credit for that, arguing, “I just followed the clues to the Thousand Buddha Temple and happened to find her there—it was all just good luck.”
“Luck is also a kind of strength,” Ye Jun said. “I guess the higher-ups also want to make use of your good luck to catch this ti’s culprit.”
“What kind of sense does it make to rely on luck to catch criminals?”
“Hey.” Ye Jun sighed, “If you don’t co, they’re going to throw this work onto , and I have no idea how to handle it.”
“Alright then,” Yan Yu pondered for a mont and then agreed, “That counts as a favor you owe .”
“Do I owe you a favor for this?” Ye Jun complained, “Okay then, hurry up and co; you must get here by tomorrow!”
Yan Yu couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the sa ti. Just a minute ago, she was pleading with , and as soon as it ca to owing a favor, she imdiately toughened up.
Hmm, how should I request Ye Jun’s favor be returned in the future?
After dinner, he explained the situation to the girls and his sister.
“Hey!” Yan Jing imdiately felt reluctant, showing not a trace of the displeasure from being teased by her older brother before, “I’ve only played here for a few days, and you’re already leaving, Big Brother!”
“Can’t be helped, duty calls,” Yan Yu said. “Ling Yun will arrange your training for the coming days. Those who haven’t reached the Hua Fu Stage should pick up the pace.”
Lin Ning seed a little downhearted, only to hear Chen Lingyun say:
“It won’t do, I’m going too.”
“You’re going nowhere,” Yan Yu said irritably. “You have the worst talent in the whole team. If you dare to delay your Cultivation again to goof off, beware of being kicked off the Zhenhai Team.”
He stood up, not looking back as he walked towards the door, casually saying:
“I’m off! You all practice well; I’ll check on your progress when I get back.”
Leaving the Mysterious Realm, Yan Yu quickly engaged in Sword Control and flew off toward Pingjing, once again going through the list of fifty-two registrants in his mind.
Hmm, there are indeed a few familiar faces.
For instance, that old man in his seventies, Li Zhikang, who was indeed a dark horse according to his past life’s mories.
Upon reaching Pingjing via Sword Control, Yan Yu dialed Ye Jun’s number.
