The Accountant got out of the car and turned to Lan Jue. "Jewelry Master, I heard someone's here to pick me up. I'll contact them first."
As he spoke, he dialed a number on his communicator.
Before long, the two men waiting in the security booth came out.
Before yesterday, Lan Jue might not have recognized the fat man, but now he knew who he was.
The Accountant was greeted by the Dean of the National Eastern University, Xu Renjian, and the Director of Academic Affairs, Wu Chun-yi.
"You must be my junior.
How are you? How are you? "Xu Renjian greeted him warmly. He shook the Accountant's hand vigorously.
Wu Chun-yi looked at Lan Jue in surprise. "Miss Lan, why are you here with him?"
Lan Jue replied. "Just on the way, we know each other.
You guys go ahead, I'm off to school. "He didn't want to have too much to do with the Accountant, he didn't want it to affect his time at school.
Xu Renjian looked over. This was the first time he'd seen Lan Jue. "You must be Miss Lan, introduced by the Master.
Let me see, etiquette class, right? "
Lan Jue smiled and nodded.
Xu Renjian was quick to respond politely. "Hello, Miss Lan. You've been here for so long, but this is the first time we've met.
I'm the Dean, Xu Renjian. If there's anything you need help with, don't hesitate to come find me. Or Director Wu. We'll do our best to help. "
"Thank you, Dean Xu."
Lan Jue replied politely. She waved to the Accountant, then pushed her bicycle into the school grounds.
Master?
The Keeper's disciple?
It seemed.
The Keeper's age was really …
No wonder he was the Titan of the Eastern Alliance's scientific community!
Next up was the Wen Competition.
There was no need for all the students to visit.
In the evening, after school, when Lan Jue picked up Zhou Qianlin, she saw the latter's somewhat lonely expression.
"What?
Did you lose? "Lan Jue asked with a smile.
Zhou Qianlin nodded. "And we don't need to participate at all.
Today, a student came to the academy. He seemed to be a little jumpy, and then he proposed to have a showdown with Teacher Su.
What they were discussing was completely beyond my knowledge.
He couldn't understand a single word.
In the end, after debating for an hour, the new student lost the competition.
But he didn't seem to be sad at all. He said something to Miss Su of Hailing College, and Miss Su left in a hurry. She didn't seem to be excited about winning. "
Lan Jue naturally understood the reason for this and could not help but sigh in her heart.
"Qian Lin, there's something I'm sorry about. I might have to go out for a few days." Lan Jue felt a little embarrassed when she said that.
Ever since he came to the academy.
This was the third time he was about to leave Skyfire.
In the previous three years, he had never left.
Zhou Qianlin was stunned.
"Where are you going?"
Lan Jue said, "Planet Lir.
It's the planet where Hailing College is located. It's very close to us.
I'm sure I'll be back in three or four days, or a week at the latest. "
Zhou Qianlin nodded. "Then go.
There won't be any danger this time, will there? "
Lan Jue looked at her in surprise. She hadn't expected her to agree so easily. And from her expression, there was no dissatisfaction or anger.
Qianlin's face broke into a smile. It was a smile so beautiful it left Lan Jue dazed.
"Why are you looking at me like an idiot?
Men are eagles. They can't be bound to one place.
I'll keep track of how long you'll be gone. Just make up for the days you've been a bodyguard. "
Lan Jue smiled wryly. "And here I thought you'd reduce my sentence because of my performance yesterday."
Zhou Qianlin rolled her eyes. "Is it as painful as going to jail?
Hurry up and go before it's too late.
Let's go to the nursing home.
I haven't been there for the past few days because of the tournament. Grandpa and Grandma are probably worried. "
Lan Jue nodded and smiled. "Alright."
Being busy at Grace Hospital always made him feel better. Every time he was there, he forgot all the negative things that had been weighing him down.
To him, charity wasn't just about helping others. It was also about cleansing his soul.
The next morning, Zeus -1 lifted off from the civilian hangar. It was on its way to Lir.
The Accountant sat lazily in the pilot's seat. His eyes flickered to Xiu Xiu and Lin Guo-guo from time to time.
Whack! The Accountant's head was slapped, and the pain was palpable.
"What are you doing, Jewelry Master?" The Accountant growled.
Lan Jue's voice was dark. "What are you looking at?
This is my turf. "
The Accountant snorted. "Everyone loves to be beautiful.
What's wrong with me looking?
Can't I just look? "
Lan Jue replied. "Of course not.
Do you really think you can look at the girls in Zeus Jewelry Shop? "
The Accountant's mouth twitched. "If you don't want to look then fine.
I'm telling you, I saw a prettier one at National Eastern University yesterday.
She was beautiful, like a fairy descending to the mortal world. I was mesmerized by her.
Otherwise I wouldn't have lost so quickly.
She's just too beautiful.
You have no idea how smooth her black hair is, just like silk.
Her big blue eyes are clearer than the sky, deeper than the sea.
Her eyelashes were so long that they were definitely natural and had not been modified in any way.
She's so beautiful.
Jewelry Master, you've got to help me. Help me get this girl.
If I could have a girlfriend like this I'd be happy to live a short life! "
The look on Lan Jue's face grew strange. "Picking up girls is something you need talent for.
I'll teach you the three most basic methods. "
"What?" The Accountant's interest was piqued.
Lan Jue: Bold, careful, and thick-skinned.
The Accountant looked at her blankly. "What does that mean?"
Lan Jue explained. "Basically, if you like a girl, you have to take the initiative and confess your feelings. If you take the initiative, you have at least a fifty percent chance of success. If you only think about it in your heart, then you don't stand a chance.
Understand? "
The Accountant didn't seem to understand. "I understand.
Are there any risks? "
Lan Jue: Of course there are.
For example, if the girl you're wooing has a powerful bodyguard, you're in trouble.
You'd probably be beaten so badly your grandfather wouldn't recognize you. "
The Accountant chuckled. "What a coincidence.
Besides, I'm pretty strong myself.
It won't be easy to beat me in a fight. "
Lan Jue smiled. "Is that so?
Then go and try your best. "
The Accountant suddenly rose to his feet and walked briskly towards Lin Guo-guo. "Guoguo, I love you. Will you be my girlfriend?
The Jewelry Master told me to come to you. He said I have at least a fifty percent chance of success. "
Lin Guo-guo didn't so much as glance at him. She focused on the control panel in front of her. "Then you're the other fifty percent.
Get away from me or I'll beat you up. "
The Accountant turned to face Lan Jue, his face full of grief and indignation.
Lan Jue shook her head helplessly. "Rotten wood can't be carved."
The Accountant took a deep breath and adjusted his gaze again. This time he looked in the direction of Xiu Xiu.
Xiu Xiu was even more direct. His left hand lifted, and in the blink of an eye it transformed into a silver blade. He waved it through the air, and a fan of light appeared. The sound of the blade cut through the air like it was tearing the air apart.
The Accountant growled. "My dark-haired sister is the best!
Hmph, you people have no taste for beauty! "
"Accelerate to sub-light speed," Lan Jue ordered.
"Yes, sir!" Lin Guo-guo pushed the thrusters into motion. Zeus -1 shuddered and sped up.
Lan Jue's feet were nailed to the ground. The Accountant screamed as he was flung through the air.
Planet Lyr.
It was a beautiful planet, known as the Sapphire of the Eastern Alliance.
Ninety percent of the planet was covered by the ocean. The planet itself was about three quarters the size of Skyfire.
It was blessed with an excellent marine environment and natural resources.
The planet also produced special power gems and deep-sea metals that were essential to the construction of top-class mechas.
Zeus -1 landed smoothly in Lyr's largest city. It was also the capital of the planet, Lyr's Civil Airship Hangar.
"Deactivate the slides.
Extinguish the main reactor. "
"Docking complete."
Zeus -1 settled down. Lin Guo-guo and Xiu Xiu removed their safety devices.
The Accountant grunted as he rose to his feet. He glared at Lan Jue, his eyes still full of resentment.
"Let's go." Lan Jue waved a hand and led the way down the ship.
The Accountant purposely lagged behind. Without me to contact them, they won't know who to call. Hmph, you'll be begging me when the time comes.
They rode a shuttle to the arrival hall, and the four of them disembarked.
The two beautiful women attracted a lot of attention.
Lan Jue was dressed in a light grey suit today, looking handsome and refreshing.
"Lan Jue."
Just as the Accountant was expecting the Jewelry Master to ask him what he should do, a sudden shout shattered his fantasies.
Lan Jue waved in the direction of the voice. She led Xiu Xiu and Lin Guo-guo over.
Su He was dressed in a black suit. When he saw the Accountant approach, he rushed forward to greet him. He opened his arms wide and hugged Lan Jue.
"You guys sure got here fast!
We've only just landed. When I got your message I figured I'd wait here for you.
Three of you? "
The Accountant fumed. "Am I not human?
How do you know each other? "
Su He shot him a sideways glance. "So you're a loser.
You're here too. "
