"Two things?" The Keeper asked. "Let's hear them."
Lan Jue handed the box to the Keeper. "This is a gem my people just found. It's emitting a lot of radiation, but I've used my Discipline to examine it. It seems to contain a lot of compressed energy. It's A-ranked, I'm guessing.
But there's no record of this gem.
You're the most knowledgeable person on Skyfire Avenue, so I'd like you to take a look. "
The Keeper took the box from Lan Jue's hand and opened it. A faint white light shimmered over the Keeper's hands. Not even the slightest bit of radiation leaked out from the box.
The Keeper took the box from Lan Jue's hands and examined it. After a moment, his brows furrowed. "If you're not in a hurry, leave it with me. I'll examine it carefully.
It's a power gem I've never seen before. "
"Alright." Lan Jue agreed without hesitation.
The Keeper wasn't just a book seller, he was also a brilliant scientist.
Clearly, this gem had piqued his interest.
"And the other thing?" The Keeper placed the box on the coffee table.
Lan Jue: "I remember you're on good terms with all the great schools in the Alliance. Are you familiar with the National Eastern University?"
The Keeper shot him a look. "What?
Are you planning to go back to study?
There's no need for that. I think you're rotten wood that can't be carved. There's nothing to learn. Ha-ha-ha! "
Lan Jue's brow furrowed. This Keeper was a little off the rails.
"You're right, I'm rotten wood.
I want to become a teacher at the National Eastern University. "
"A teacher?"
The Keeper's smile faded, and he looked at Lan Jue in surprise. "You want to be a teacher?
Did I hear you right?
Don't go and mislead the students. "
Lan Jue smiled wryly. "Keeper, what kind of image do you have of me?"
"Not really," the Keeper replied. "But, not too long ago, I was on a satellite and I happened to see someone trying to steal someone's wife. He's not a good person at all."
"Uh …" Lan Jue's expression stiffened.
At that time, he had clearly blocked all of Skyfire Planet's satellites.
Where did the Keeper see it?
The Keeper's voice was languid. "There are connections, and being a teacher isn't a problem. But I've spent my life teaching and educating, and I don't want anyone I recommend to go astray."
Lan Jue bitterly smiled and said, "I really don't know how to teach. The main reason I'm going to the National Eastern University is to protect someone. So, you can help me find an idle job."
"What do you want to teach?" The Keeper asked.
Lan Jue lowered his voice and whispered something in his ear.
The Keeper's wrinkles seemed to freeze as he listened. "You're not joking, are you?"
Lan Jue sternly said, "This is indeed my forte, and I promise I won't mislead the students.
Learning these things won't be bad for the students. "
The Keeper looked at him with a strange expression on his face. "Interesting," he muttered to himself. "Interesting. Interesting indeed.
Very well, go ahead and give it a try. But if you get fired by the university, I won't forgive you. "
"Don't worry.
I know what I'm doing. "Even Lan Jue didn't dare offend the Keeper!
The Wine Master had told him about the Keeper's legendary abilities.
This was a man who could turn science into a Discipline.
He didn't make a move, but when he did, it was earth-shattering.
Who would dare offend a mad scientist who could unleash a Positron Cannon in space?
The Wine Master had once told Lan Jue that there were only two people on Skyfire Avenue whose combined abilities were rated at ten. The Keeper was one of them.
He was also one of Skyfire Avenue's ultimate weapons.
The reason it was a combined ability, and not a genetic Talent, was because he relied on the power of his research.
The Keeper's own Talent was only sixth level.
As for the other, it was naturally the Clairvoyant.
But on the surface these two didn't seem to be particularly adept at combat.
Only the council members knew that it wasn't that they weren't good at fighting, but that they weren't good at small skirmishes. All they could do was destroy the heavens and the earth …
"Kid, when it's time to show off your power, don't hide it too much. Sometimes it's better to let people know. It'll save you a lot of trouble."
Three days later, a letter of appointment from the National Eastern University arrived at the Zeus Jewelry Shop.
"Boss, are you really going to be a teacher?" Kerr's eyes lit up as she looked at Lan Jue.
Lan Jue nodded helplessly. "Yeah!"
Kerr sighed in admiration. "You'd be the most handsome teacher.
But boss, why are you doing this? "
The corner of Lan Jue's mouth twitched. "I've got nothing better to do."
"Ahem!" Kerr choked on her own saliva. "How about I go with you?
By the way, the Gourmet wants me to remind you that the bluefin tuna will be ready to eat in two days. "
"Mm." Lan Jue's eyes lit up. Good news at last.
"I'll go rest in the back and get ready to report to school."
"Do you need me to pack for you?" Xiu Xiu's voice was gentle.
Lan Jue shook her head.
Back in her bedroom, Lan Jue opened her communicator and dialed a number.
A moment later, a melodious voice crackled from the other end. "What is it?"
"As you wish," Lan Jue said softly. "I'll report to your school in the afternoon.
How do I protect you? "
The melodious voice was silent for a moment. "Keep in touch. I'll take you around the school in the afternoon.
Familiarize yourself with the place first. "
"Alright." Lan Jue replied weakly.
"By the way, what's your name?" Zhou Qianlin asked.
"…" Lan Jue didn't know why she was so easily angered by this girl. "Didn't I tell you that day?"
"Did you?
I forgot.
I don't spend much effort to remember unimportant people and things. "
"I'm Lan Jue!" Lan Jue said coldly.
Zhou Qianlin said, "I've thought about it. I think it's better if we don't show it on the surface.
You can protect me in secret from now on.
How you protect me is up to you. It's not up to me to decide. "
Lan Jue was stunned. "Why?
Why did you suddenly change your mind? "
Zhou Qianlin said, "Because I suddenly thought that if my classmates knew I knew you, they'd question my taste."
Lan Jue was speechless.
Zhou Qianlin said, "By the way, let me ask you a legal question. You don't have to pay with your life right?"
"Zhou Qianlin, do you know what I'm teaching at your school?" The anger on Lan Jue's face suddenly disappeared and was replaced with a sly smile.
Anger me to death?
You're still lacking in terms of cultivation.
