Chapter 23 Dai Mubai repeatedly encounters setbacks

"Besides, she is just a paper figure. I am a time traveler with a golden finger. I am the chosen one."

Shi Yang talked to himself, not knowing if he was hypnotizing himself, saying it once was not enough.

"She wasn't even mentioned in the original book. She must be some insignificant character who died prematurely."

"No matter how glorious and powerful I am now."

"I'm different. I came here because I was destined to become a member of the Shrek Seven Devils and ascend to the God Realm."

He subconsciously overlooked another possibility, that he was not the only time traveler in the world. Chu Zhao was also a time traveler, breaking the established track.

Shi Yang was absolutely unwilling to accept this possibility.

And Chu Zhao doesn't know that someone is targeting her and seeing her as a strong rival. She is replacing sleep with cultivation, racing against time to win!

Just as Tang San said, other people practiced for five or ten hours a day at most, but Chu Zhao practiced for more than twenty hours almost every day.

She has good natural resources and works so hard, it would be a shame if she didn't achieve something.

Xiao Wu and others never disturbed Chu Zhao when she was practicing, so Chu Zhao didn't wake up from her meditation until the bell rang.

When she went out, she happened to meet Zhu Zhuqing, and they met Dai Mubai halfway.

"I was just about to call you when you came. How was your rest yesterday? Are you okay with your injury?"

When he saw Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai immediately showed concern for her.

But his concern was completely in vain. Zhu Zhuqing just glanced at him indifferently without saying a word, which was very cold and indifferent.

Dai Mubai couldn't help but frown after hitting a snag. Thinking of what Shi Yang said, he thought it made sense, so it would be better to give Zhu Zhuqing the cold shoulder first.

Seeing Chu Zhao, who had a pretty face and a sweet smile all the time, he was moved and started talking to Chu Zhao.

"Zhao Zhao, I heard Tang San and Xiao Wu call you that, it's ok for me to call you that."

Dai Mubai asked in a gentle tone with a smile on his face. With his good looks, it would be hard for people to refuse him, and most people would not say anything.

But Chu Zhao was not an ordinary person, so he immediately shook his head and said in a gentle tone: "Not really possible."

After she said that, Dai Mubai was at a loss.

Fortunately, Dai Mubai was very experienced. After a while, he reorganized his words, forgot what had just happened, and looked very relaxed.

"Schoolmate Chu has known Tang San and Xiao Wu before, and also knew Zhu Qing, and had dealings with the Spirit Hall. I just don't know where Schoolmate Chu is from, and how she knows so many people."

"I awakened my martial spirits together with Tang San. Didn't I say that yesterday? Is it hard to tell where I am from? Naturally, I am from where Tang San is from."

Chu Zhao admitted that she said that on purpose. Because she didn't like promiscuous people, she couldn't talk to Dai Mubai properly at all. Not scolding him was already a result of her efforts to suppress her emotions.

Dai Mubai originally wanted to tease Chu Zhao to make Zhu Zhuqing jealous, but he didn't expect to be rejected twice by Chu Zhao. Now his face looked really ugly.

He was born into a noble family and was the prince of Xingluo. Although his behavior of escaping to Tiandou was a bit cowardly, he was still the biological son of Emperor Xingluo. Emperor Xingluo was afraid of wronging his son, so he allocated money to him from time to time.

So even in a foreign country, Dai Mubai did not suffer any grievances and his life was very comfortable.

Being ignored by the woman he had never taken seriously, he felt angry and humiliated. He had already begun to secretly resent Zhu Zhuqing and Chu Zhao, and secretly vowed in his heart to teach them a lesson.

"Zhao Zhao, we are here!"

Xiao Wu had been looking around and was the first to notice Chu Zhao's appearance. She immediately waved to Chu Zhao excitedly. When Chu Zhao came over, Xiao Wu half-jokingly scolded him.

"You said you already know you're talented, so why are you still working so hard? Are you trying to...what was that word you said before?"

“Involution.”

Tang San reminded.

"Yes, you want to kill us. I won't allow you to do that."

Xiao Wu said this and nodded vigorously.

She was lazy by nature and seldom practiced seriously, so her cultivation level increased naturally. But when she saw Chu Zhao who was extremely serious, she sometimes felt very pressured.

"No way, I don't want to trick you. I practice hard to improve my strength as soon as possible so that I can find my family. You know this."

Her life experience is no secret among a group of people in Notting City. Chu Zhao likes to use finding out her life experience as an excuse for many things, which is very useful.

Because they will all believe it, and some people will even reflect on it.

For example, Xiao Wu, when she heard Chu Zhao talking about looking for her family again, she couldn't help but think of her own family. She was a little dazed in her heart and didn't even care much about the appearance of Flanders.

"Isn't that wrong of me? I should also work hard to improve my strength as soon as possible, so that I can avenge my mother and protect myself from getting my friends hurt...

I have actually forgotten the pain of that day. Is this because the scar has healed and the pain has been forgotten?

Xiao Wu, you can't forget your mother's revenge, you can't forget that your true identity is a time bomb, you should work harder on your cultivation. "

"Xiao Wu? Xiao Wu! What's wrong with you, Xiao Wu?"

After calling out several times, Tang San finally woke up the dazed Xiao Wu, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"I'm fine, San."

When Xiao Wu came to her senses, Flanders had already finished her lecture and was assigning tasks to Ning Rongrong and Oscar.

Chu Zhao poked his finger and muttered softly:

"The tuition fee is one hundred gold soul coins. This is too expensive. It's really expensive..."

Although one hundred gold soul coins are just a drop in the bucket for her now.

However, Chu Zhao, who is very stingy by nature, really can't bear to do it!

"Don't you have enough money?"

Although Chu Zhao's voice was very low, Tang San, who had extraordinary hearing, still heard it clearly.

He asked in confusion, "Can't a Great Soul Master get a subsidy of ten gold soul coins from the Spirit Hall every month? That's one hundred and twenty gold soul coins a year. How can there be no money?"

"I didn't take any subsidies from the Spirit Hall. I'm too lenient to take from others. I don't like to owe others."

This is the truth, Chu Zhao has never received a subsidy.

But her words made Tang San, who wanted to lend her money, hesitate for a while before he tentatively said:

"How about I give you an early birthday present?"

The birthday gift is one hundred gold soul coins. There should be no one who doesn’t like money, and this shouldn’t be considered as owing money, Tang San thought.

His tone and words almost made Chu Zhao laugh out loud.

But there are always people who spoil the mood and ruin Chu Zhao's mood.

"If you are a poor fellow, don't come to study. You are not destined for this! You don't know why you are pretending. You are so poor that you can't even afford the tuition fees, and you refuse to accept the subsidy from the Spirit Hall."
