Believe It Or Not, I Already Caught You

Looking at Chen Yus wrinkled bun face, Lou Ming shook his head in amusement, before leaving the study and heading downstairs. At this point, Master Mao was sitting on the sofa in the living room drinking tea. When he saw Lou Ming coming down, he immediately grinned.

Seeing Master Maos unconcealed joy, Lou Ming reckoned that there was news about the Spiritual artifacts: Is there news?

Yes, and its still good news. Master Maos beard trembled with joy. A spiritual artifact has been found.

So soon? Lou Ming raised his eyebrows in shock.

Thats why its good news. Master Mao said, Two of the spiritual artifacts from the information that Little Friend Chen brought back have been deciphered. One of which is placed in the Han Emperors tomb in Northern Jiangsu. This mausoleum was excavated ten years ago, and the spiritual artifact is stored in the Imperial Capital Museum.

Have you confirmed it?

Yes. I went to see it immediately. Its a bone flute. Master Mao said, But because it is an important national cultural relic, we still have to go through some procedures to take it out. However, it poses no great problem.

The evil spirit that has plagued Lou Ming for thirty years seemed like it was really going to be dissolved. He felt ecstatic, and at the same time he found it a bit unreal.

The specific location of the other spiritual artifact has also been determined. Its at the bottom of Wufang Lake, so it should also be an ancient tomb. Minister Lou has contacted the archeological team to find it, and it will be sent to the capital as soon as its found. Master Mao sounded more excited than Lou Ming. Although the remaining couple of pieces of information have not been deciphered, itll only be a matter of time. Lou Ming, your wish is about to come true. You can finally be like an ordinary person.

Ah!

Chen Yus sudden scream startled Lou Ming. He instantly jumped up and ran towards the second floor like a gust of wind. That overpowering aura scared the special forces-born He Qi, but he didnt dare to rush into the study in front of his Young Master.

Shishi! Lou Ming nervously pushed the door of the room.

Chen Yu turned back, holding her phone and looking at Lou Ming lifelessly.

Whats wrong? It seemed that there was no danger.

I-I failed to accumulate points in full. Chen Yu looked teary-eyed at her phone. The large 98 on it made her heart ache so much that she couldnt breathe.

What points? Lou Ming asked in surprise.

Metaphysics Network points ah. The Metaphysics Network launched an event last New Years Eve. As long as we purge a hundred malevolent ghosts, the accumulated hundred points can help us upgrade to an A-level account. But I checked just now. I checked Chen Yu cried, Im just short of two points, just two points.

Lou Ming was between tears and laughter. Its only two points. Go and purify two more malevolent ghosts.

But the event is over. Its over!!! Elder Wu reminded Chen Yu earlier not to forget to earn money. Chen Yu also thought that she now had an A-level account, so making money would be much faster than before. Who would have thought that when she took out her phone to check, she discovered that the points she guessed were actually two points short. She immediately felt a bolt from the blue, so she screamed.

So then slowly level up again. Lou Ming was at a loss how to comfort her.

The more I think about it, the more I want to curse. Its as if I had won a hundred million and lost the lottery ticket.

Whats going on? Master Mao couldnt help but curiously ask when he entered the study and saw the dejected Chen Yu.

Chen Yu was too immersed in her sadness to pay any attention to Master Mao. Lou Ming could only explain in between tears and laughter. Her Metaphysics Network account didnt rise to level A, so shes lamenting.

Huh? Isnt Little Friend Chens account still not A-Rank? Master Mao was surprised.

When Chen Yu heard this, she grew even more depressed, and she stomped her foot in anger.

Master Mao, you should stop stimulating her, Lou Ming whispered, admonishing Master Mao. Nonetheless, another soft chuckle escaped his lips right after he spoke.

I dont mean that. I mean that with Little Friend Chens cultivation level, she can completely apply directly for an A-Rank account ah. There is no need to level up from the ground at all, Master Mao clarified.

Chen Yu lifted her head with a snap and looked at Master Mao incredulously.

Can you apply directly? Lou Ming was also a little surprised.

Of course. After all, your strength is enough. You just need someone to recommend you. I can recommend you, Master Mao said while very dryly pulling out his phone, What is your account name, Little Friend Chen? Ill recommend you right now. If its quick, you can jump to an A-Rank account tomorrow.

Clang! Master Mao guessed that Chen Yu might be happy, but not so happy that she banged her head against the table.

Heh, Lou Ming couldnt hold back his laughter any longer.

Half a month later, Chen Yu walked out of the classroom with a pale face. She swore that she had never been proctored so harshly since she was a child. She was the only one in the entire examination room, yet the invigilator watched her the whole time.

Shishi, how was your test? Han You, Fang Feifei, and Zhou Muwan had long been waiting outside the examination room.

I dont know. Chen Yu shook her head breathlessly.

Didnt you review for half a month? Fang Feifei asked.

I was too nervous. I was alone in the whole examination room, and the teacher kept sitting next to me. Speaking of this Chen Yu couldnt help but feel dejected. Am I the only one in the whole school who failed in advanced mathematics?

Yes! The three people nodded their heads uniformly.

No way! Chen Yu was shocked.

Who among the examinees, who passed the exams to enter the Imperial Capital University, isnt a high-achiever? No one would fail in the first semester. Zhang Muwan said, To some extent, youve also made quite a name for yourself.

Chen Yus green complexion turned even greener.Oh my God, I was the only one who failed the course. Cant you just leave me alone? The price to pay for holding a make-up exam for me alone must have been exorbitant.

Dont dwell on it. Youre exams done, so lets go and eat. Fang Fei Fei patted Chen Yus shoulder and said, A new restaurant has opened in front of the school. I heard that the flavor is particularly good.

Chen Yu instantly cheered up and followed her three roommates outside the school. It was just that when they reached the school entrance, someone suddenly called out to her.

Shishi! Lu Ning spotted Chen Yu and her group walking out of the school entrance from a long distance.

Lu Ning? Chen Yu saw the handsome young man who kept waving at her in the distance and walked to him with a smile. Why are you here?

I came to find you for something. Since the last time Lu Ning gave Chen Yu the Soul Summoning Bell, Chen Yu became much closer to him. The two would occasionally contact each other online, and over time, she let him call her by her first name directly. Lu Ning looked behind her and asked, You and your classmates are going to dinner, huh?

No, no. The three of us are going to eat. Shishi is not going with us, Han You opened her mouth before Chen Yu could deliver a response.

Lu Ning? Is your name Lu Ning? Fang Feifei examined the young man in front of her, who exhibited a fresh temperament and quite ancient style. She couldnt help but utter a tsk-tsk in admiration.

Hello guys, Im Lu Ning, Lu Ning introduced himself graciously.

Hello, hello, Fang Feifei was teeming with gossip. Are you our Shishis boyfriend?

Lu Ning froze, and his face instantly burst red.

What nonsense! No, la. Chen Yu anxiously pushed the gossipy Fang Feifei.

Your face is all red, but you still deny it. The three people obviously did not believe it.

Thats enough, guys, ah! Chen Yu stood akimbo in a gesture of anger.

Aiya, forget it, forget it. Lets go eat first. Zhang Muwan hung her hands on the shoulders of the other two roommates and stretched her voice deliberately, Lets not disturb the world of two people.

Yes, yes, lets hurry up. After saying that, the three laughed and left.

Chen Yu snorted angrily. When she looked back, she found that Lu Ning was blushing and was almost akin to a cooked shrimp. His eyes were glittering and was teeming with embarrassment (Anyway, our Xishi thought he was embarrassed).

You do not take it to heart ah. Theyre just kidding around, Chen Yu promptly straightened things out.

No, its no big deal. A trace of loss was hidden under the young mans eyes.

Did you just say you had something to tell me? Chen Yu asked again.

Mm. Lu Ning adjusted his mood and said, I just wanted to ask, are you participating in this years Profound Spirit Grand Competition?

Profound Spirit Grand Competition? Whats that? Chen Yu was puzzled.

You dont know? It was Lu Nings turn to be shocked this time. There were still people in the Metaphysics world who didnt know about the Profound Spirit Grand Competition these days.

Under Lu Nings detailed information dissemination, Chen Yu finally understood what Profound Spirit Grand Competition was. The so-called competition was in fact a Metaphysics competition for young Celestial Master Chen in the Metaphysics community. All Celestial Masters under the age of thirty were eligible to participate.

However, this Profound Spirit Grand Competition was different from ordinary competitions. It was one of the oldest competitions in the Metaphysics world that had been passed on for hundreds of years. More importantly, it was held in the place where the Five Spirits converge in the Qilian Mountains, a place that was still enveloped by magical barriers until now. After the decline of Metaphysics, the magical barriers were almost gone.

The magical barriers of the Five Spirits Convergence were opened every ten years, so the Profound Spirit Grand Competition was also held once every ten years.

Everyone goes to participate. Is it because there is some good stuff inside? Chen Yu asked.

Yes. Every time the magical barrier opens, an extremely fine magic artifact will appear inside, but its hard to obtain. Lu Ning introduced, The last one was a millennium-old peach wooden sword, the one in Liang Yus hand. That magic artifact was brought out when Uncle Liang participated in the Profound Spirit Grand Competition thirty years ago.

Chen Yu secretly calculated. When will this Profound Spirit Grand Competition start?

The sixth of next month, Lu Ning replied.

It was only held once in ten years, so it must not be missed. Moreover, a top-quality magic artifact could sell for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, which was much faster than doing a task.

Lu Ning, thank you for coming to tell me about this. I promise you, if I obtain a magic artifact and sell it, Ill definitely share 10% of the profit with you. In gratitude for the information Lu Ning provided, Chen Yu generously unfurled her hand for a rare moment.

No, youre welcome. Lu Ning awkwardly drew the corner of his mouth.

In the distance, He Qi, who drove over to pick up Chen Yu back to the small courtyard, silently took a photo and sent it to his Young Master with the text: Miss Chen Yus roommate all mistakenly thought this was Miss Chen Yus boyfriend.

Crack! Lou Ming, who was eating with Minister Lou and Master Mao, accidentally crushed the chopsticks in his hand.

Whats wrong? Minister Lou was taken aback.

Nothing. Lou Ming put down his phone, changed his chopsticks and continued eating.

The Author has something to say:

The assistant group chat has been idle for a long time.

He Qi: How about it? How did Young Master react?

He Qi: Xiao Peng, dont play dead.

Cheng Peng, who was on duty for the day, reluctantly replied: He snapped his chopsticks into two! (Cheng Peng was finally dragged down the river of gossip)
