111: Chapter 111 Whoever wins the rock-paper-scissors game gets to ride the horse

"What's the matter?"

Upon hearing the name Yun Zhuo, Ji Shuyue's interest was instantly piqued.

She didn't even know why herself.

Ever since she had chatted with that boy yesterday, she felt that the name Yun Zhuo held a special attraction for her.

Just now, for instance, when she saw a topic involving the name Yun Zhuo while browsing the campus network, she couldn't help but want to click on it.

In the past, it would have been unimaginable for her to pay attention to a wet-behind-the-ears brat.

But on second thought, wasn't this kid the key to whether her younger brother's plan would succeed and whether the fire he started would catch?

If he could withstand the pressure from Chen Qi, Su Jingzhou would consider him a qualified shield.

The success rate of Ji Gang's cooperation with him would also increase.

One wanted to use the Ji Family's resources for his own ends, while the other wanted to use the other party's hand to cause internal strife within the Su Family.

The key lay in whether that kid Yun Zhuo could hold out; if he could, then everything could proceed according to plan.

Thinking this way, the doubts that had just arisen in Ji Shuyue's heart were instantly dispelled.

"Su Zixing used Su Qingtang's hand to assign him some tasks. I heard from Su Qingsu that these tasks are all connected to one place: the Nun Village in Central Heaven City."

"Central Heaven City, Nun Village?" Ji Shuyue thought for a moment and asked, "What's so special about that place?"

"I heard this village is outside Central Heaven City, on the ruins of the old world, and it's full of nuns."

"What else?"

"Also... No, Sister, don't you find it strange at all? Central Heaven City is a major city under the Su Family's influence. Why would Su Zixing send him there?"

"How did you find out about this?" Ji Shuyue asked back.

"I installed a bug in Su Zixing's office."

"What?" Seeing Ji Shuo's smug expression, Ji Shuyue was instantly fuming with rage.

Was this kid crazy? Not knowing his own limits, he actually dared to bug Su Zixing's office.

"Sister, why are you so worked up?"

"Tell me, when did you install it?"

"Just yesterday, when he took the students to the Underground City. I installed it then."

"Go and remove it immediately."

"Don't be so nervous, Sister. I installed the bug myself. Currently, only the two of us know about it. No one will leak the secret."

"The issue isn't whether it can be traced back to you; it's whether you can tell if what he says is true or false."

"What I eavesdropped on should be true, right?"

Ji Shuyue rolled her eyes. "Then how can you be sure he hasn't discovered your bug?"

In such a situation, he wouldn't even need to guess to find out who was bugging him. He'd just need to make up some fake intel and see who falls for it to know who's eavesdropping.

Forget it, don't go back to remove the bug. Going now would likely lead you right into his trap. Just destroy the receiver directly."

Ji Shuo thought about it and felt his sister had a point. His eyes darted around as he said, "Why destroy it? Can't I just throw it away? That way, we might even be able to frame someone else and let them take the fall for us."

Ji Shuyue thought that was an idea, but if she let this kid do the throwing, a good thing would surely turn bad.

"How about this: bring the receiver to me, and I'll throw it away for you."

"Why?"

"You already forgot what I just said. You're not good at playing these games. In this life, you only need to master the trick of starting fires."

Don't touch anything that could implicate you."

After speaking, fearing her brother would do something stupid again, she quickly added: "What you need to do now is casually mention something, just like you did with Ji San."

When to say it, how to say it, how much to say, and to whom—these are the things you should be studying right now."

"Alright, I'll listen to you."

After saying that, Ji Shuo sent Ji Shuyue a text message while standing face-to-face with her.

Opening it, she saw a website URL along with a username and password.

"What is this?" Ji Shuyue asked, puzzled.

"The bug's official website! It's all cloud monitoring now, didn't you know? As long as you log into this site, you can browse all the bugs or surveillance cameras under this user."

"You... you registered this yourself?"

"Sister, am I that stupid? I hired someone from the black market to buy it off the dark web. And that person has already disappeared; no one knows who he is."

"Don't ever log into this website again."

"Don't worry, Sister, I've only logged in once. I've deleted the account and password. Even if I wanted to log in, I don't have them anymore."

"Also, don't go looking into the Nun Village matter. Let it end here."

"Understood. But Sister, aren't you even a little curious?"

old world ruins, a village full of nuns, a major city under the Su Family—and I heard there's even an old world underground base nearby. How could anyone not be curious?

"Whether to investigate or not is a matter for later. What you need to do is forget about this."

After sending away her foolish younger brother, Ji Shuyue quickly opened her bracelet to watch Yun Zhuo's live stream from the training ground.

Unfortunately, the stream had already ended, but she learned from some scattered short videos that the kid had actually gone on a rampage in the Advanced zone at the end.

Good lad. A War Princess with absolutely no Body Integration experience, and in their first integration, they achieved 100% compatibility, and he even trained three Martial Skills to Major Achievement.

Most impressively, this kid actually condensed Killing Intent on himself.

Yet Su Jingzhou and his wife discarded him like a worn-out shoe. There will be a good show to watch in the future.

...

The evening sunset dyed the clouds in the west a golden-red, and even the wire fence of the training ground was wrapped in a layer of warm light.

On the open ground by the field, the elder Teacher Su and the younger Teacher Su were huddled together playing rock-paper-scissors to see who would win and become the mount.

That's right, whoever won would be the mount.

Three minutes ago, Yun Zhuo had said to the elder Teacher Su, "Teacher Su, your first-form mecha, the Dragon, is really cool."

"If you want me to carry you home, just say so. Do you think I'm a child who would fall for such a trick?"

"Please, saying that is practically trampling on our pure friendship."

The elder Teacher Su chuckled. "Is that so? Where did I trample? Why don't you say your reverse psychology isn't very clever?"

"It seems there really is a difference between men and women."

"What do you mean?"

"Let's put it this way: in the hearts of us boys, we all have a dream of becoming a Dragon Knight when we're little."

"But for the vast majority of boys, that dream can never be realized in a lifetime."

"But today you let me realize it. Even though your first form is only a Dragon, I still think it's incredibly cool."

"I see. Fine then, I'll carry you home."

"What about tomorrow?"

"I'll carry you tomorrow too."

"And the day after?"

"The day after as well."

"Wait a minute." The younger Teacher Su, who had been listening to their back-and-forth, couldn't sit still any longer seeing her sister was about to become his exclusive mount. "Xiao Zhuo, did you forget that I am your Main Battle War Princess?"

"I didn't forget."

"Then why do you always want my sister to carry you?"

"Because her Dragon mecha is so cool. What boy wouldn't like flying through the sky on a dragon?"

"So you're saying my first form isn't cool?"
