99: Chapter 99 My Big Brother Teaches Me

Guan Shu blushed slightly; after all, she was a senior.

Now she was being chased by a junior for money.

Fortunately, Bai Ye's voice wasn't loud.

Otherwise, she would have really lost face.

Of course, she had enough money on hand now; after all, her Family was not a poor one.

Her father and mother held quite high status.

Therefore, this kind of money was not an issue for them.

Just as Guan Shu was about to transfer the money.

Bai Ye suddenly said.

"By the way, if it's convenient, exchange this for money too."

As he spoke, he took out a familiar object from his spatial ring.

When Guan Shu looked, she realized, isn't this the piece of equipment she once had?

s-rank combat boots.

They could increase speed, and the effect was very good.

Back then, to thank Bai Ye, she had given this item to him.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Bai Ye was returning it to her.

Guan Shu asked, somewhat confused.

"Why? This is an s-rank piece of equipment, a truly good item! Why are you giving it back to me?"

Bai Ye said, "Actually, I already asked Teacher Huang this afternoon."

"He said that you don't even have a single s-rank piece of equipment on you right now."

"So you went to the school gate to welcome me today just to get some s-rank gear, right?"

"To avoid making you, as my senior, too embarrassed, I'd better return this to you so you can have some s-rank gear to wear."

Upon hearing this, Guan Shu felt a bit embarrassed, and her entire face turned bright red.

"You even knew about that."

Although Guan Shu's Family, with her powerful Stage 6 Esper father and powerful Level 5 Esper mother...

could no longer be described as merely wealthy; it could be said that they had whatever they wanted.

However, her mother was also extremely strict.

To avoid spoiling her child too much and causing her to become incompetent in the future...

the requirements for Guan Shu had always been quite high.

Especially regarding external items like equipment that could boost strength.

The consistent attitude had always been to let her earn it herself.

Guan Shu could take as much as she could earn.

Rather than letting her Family help.

Actually, this was also a very effective practice.

Because there had been many second-generation Espers before who actually had decent talent, but because the equipment provided by their Families from a young age was too good, they often misjudged their own strength.

Thinking their strength was the best in the world.

As a result, when there was a problem with their equipment, they suddenly became nothing.

Many people even made such fatal mistakes in battle and died out there.

As for Guan Shu, these combat boots were exchanged using points accumulated through more than half a semester of hard work.

However, Guan Shu never had the thought of asking for them back; once given, they were given.

After all, Bai Ye had saved her life.

Compared to the debt of saving her life, what did this little thing count for?

Just when Guan Shu wanted to decline.

Bai Ye said.

"Alright, just take them back; don't worry about it."

"When I enter Magic City Esper University, the school will provide me with two s-rank pieces of equipment; I won't be lacking at all."

"And with my strength and talent, I won't be lacking in points in the future either; I can exchange for as many s-rank pieces of equipment as I want."

"Just give me a token amount of money, just transfer it over; you don't need to worry about anything else."

After speaking, Bai Ye shoved the item to her and turned back to his dormitory.

Guan Shu watched Bai Ye's back, feeling very complicated.

She didn't know if it was gratitude or joy.

Or perhaps some other, deeper emotions.

As for Bai Ye, after returning to the villa, he was also thinking about what had just happened.

Actually, his motive for returning this item to Guan Shu wasn't entirely pure.

For one, being able to exchange this for money was a good thing for him.

Moreover, this equipment didn't actually boost his strength that much.

Compared to other s-rank equipment, Bai Ye needed something different.

Therefore, exchanging it for money was more suitable for him.

Furthermore, this action could also bring him and Guan Shu closer.

Getting on good terms with a senior like this had great benefits, no matter how you looked at it.

While Bai Ye was thinking, another person walked into the villa; upon seeing them, he said excitedly.

"Ah, Big Brother, you're finally here!"

Lu Yang excitedly pulled him to sit on the sofa.

"Big Brother, please sit."

"Big Brother, I've missed you so much!"

Bai Ye looked at his excited appearance and felt completely baffled; what was going on?

The two of them had known each other for less than a day, and it had been less than two hours since they had eaten together.

To suddenly say he missed him was simply bizarre.

"Big Brother, can you tell me how you met those two top-tier beauties?"

"Also, how did you manage to woo them?"

"I want to improve too, I want to work hard too!"

After hearing this, Bai Ye said very awkwardly.

"There's no issue of wooing or anything; it's not as dirty as you think."

"We just know each other; there is no other relationship."

Lu Yang said very excitedly.

"Damn, Big Brother, stop lying to me."

"I've already checked."

"Guan Shu and An Tianjiao are notoriously hard to get!"

"Do you know that in the past year, dozens of super Geniuses from big Families wanted to get close to those two?"

"And yet, they were both rejected by them!"

"There have never been any boys around these two."

Lu Yang became more excited as he spoke.

"And you, my truly good Big Brother, you were able to walk with the two of them."

"Doesn't this prove something?"

Lu Yang was so excited while speaking that he was practically dying, and his eyes even started to glow.

Bai Ye suspected that if he kept talking like this, he would turn into a Beast, so he quickly stopped him.

Then, he explained what happened on the battlefield and what Teacher Huang had arranged.

After Lu Yang finished listening, his mood was finally not as excited as before, and he gradually calmed down.

"So that's how it is, Big Brother; I finally understand."

Saying this, the feeling of being excited to death was gone from his heart.

"Since there's a reason, that's good, that's good."

"If Bai Ye could crush me in everything..."

"...then I really wouldn't have any confidence left."

What Lu Yang was most confident about was this aspect; if he couldn't even compare to others in this, he really didn't know where else he could be strong.

Just at this moment, Bai Ye's phone vibrated several times in a row.
