Gu Ruoxi looked at the three consecutive questions from Ling and replied "yes", but she couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
The boss of the organization, Ling, always gave her a feeling of calmness and wisdom. It seemed that apart from leading everyone to revenge, there was nothing in the world that could move him.
But when he announced his cousin's name, Ling felt a little embarrassed.
At the same time, the chat group also became quiet.
Obviously, everyone noticed something was wrong with the boss.
A bold idea suddenly came to Gu Ruoxi's mind... Could it be that cousin Zhou Yue has become the best in his grade at Zhonglu College? Ranking very high in the first grade?
Just when she was about to ask a question, she saw Zero's profile picture dimming, but he was already offline.
Gu Ruoxi stared at the panel for a while, her brows tightening and relaxing. Then she took out the same old mobile phone and hesitated to ask her cousin who had just added her as a friend today.
"What are you asking? Would it be too strange if I asked suddenly? What would my cousin think?"
Gu Ruoxi was hesitating, ding, the panel showed that there was a new email in the mailbox.
It was sent from Lingfa.
"Huh?"
Gu Ruoxi opened the door very curiously.
As soon as she read the first paragraph, her cheeks flushed and her eyes were full of surprise.
The further he looked down, the redder Gu Ruoxi's face became, and the surprise in his eyes escalated into shock.
Thump...thump...
The sound of the heart beating violently is transmitted upward through the blood vessels and echoes in the skull cavity.
At the end of the day, her hands could not help but tremble slightly.
In this email, Ling told her the true identity of her cousin Zhou Yue.
"My cousin... is actually the new king of the Relic Academy? Among all the seven branches... among all the first-year students... the strongest one? Stronger than the freshmen in the capital?"
Gu Ruoxi murmured in a low voice, her eyes fixed and in a trance.
As soon as she saw Zero's reaction, she vaguely guessed that her distant cousin might be a bit unusual.
But I didn't expect it to be so powerful.
After a while, Gu Ruoxi took a deep breath, and a look of excitement appeared on her face: "Zhou Yue, he is too strong..."
The small room and the flimsy wire bed prevented her from jumping up.
Although she knew that many years ago, her family was considered a wealthy family in the lower-class capital, close to the fringe family of practitioners.
But ever since she could remember, she had been living in embarrassment and even humility. Even though her mind power had exceeded 30 breaths, she still didn't have much hope for the future.
The appearance of her cousin Zhou Yue gave her a hint of hope that she had never expected.
bite!
Zero's second email followed.
This is a voicemail
Gu Ruoxi clicked on it.
Ling's hoarse voice as always was like a basin of ice water, extinguishing the blazing light in Gu Ruoxi's eyes.
…
"...Your cousin is an extraordinary genius regardless of his talent or potential. He is an excellent weapon for the organization."
"...During this period, you must seize the opportunity, approach and win over Zhou Yue, impress him with family affection, and make him willing to avenge you."
"...Seventeen, remember, you and your family have plummeted to where you are today, all because of a certain big family in the upper capital. Only revenge is your, my, and everyone's lifelong mission."
…
Gu Ruoxi turned off the panel and then slowly lowered her head.
She looked at the contact named "cousin" in her phone's address book, and just as she clicked on it with her fingertips, it bounced away as if she was electrocuted.
"Revenge..."
A hint of bitterness appeared at the corner of Gu Ruoxi's mouth.
Although she is only fifteen years old, she has suffered too many ups and downs and looked down upon since she was a child, making her far more mature than her peers.
She already knew that her cousin Zhou Yue was an extraordinary genius with a bright future.
But if you drag him in and indulge in revenge like yourself, unable to extricate yourself, it will definitely not be a good thing.
Gu Ruoxi's expression changed.
After ten full minutes, she finally made up her mind.
"Okay, I understand."
Gu Ruoxi replied in the email, but also closed her phone at the same time.
"My cousin probably won't stay in the lower capital for too long. When Ling asks, he will say that my cousin is determined, unmoved by me, and has no interest in revenge."
Gu Ruoxi muttered to herself, looked up at the dim sky outside the narrow sky window, which had already turned dark brown before nightfall, and sighed softly.
Gu Ruoxi, who was immersed in inexplicable emotions, did not notice that behind her, next to the bed, there was a chubby orange cat squatting.
The orange cat didn't know how long it had been here, but it was staring at the girl with a serious face.
In the depths of its emerald-like cat eyes, there seemed to be a faint swirl of brilliance.
Gu Ruoxi suddenly felt something and turned around to look.
I saw the yellowed curtains fluttering in the wind.
Gu Ruoxi looked suspicious and looked around strangely: "I didn't open the window, where is the wind coming from?"
…
Upper capital.
It is also the Capital Academy guarding the sky barrier.
In a gorgeous and exquisite single-family dormitory, a young man under thirty years old held up his mirror frame with a sneer on his lips.
"What a coincidence. Seventeen's cousin is actually Zhou Yue, the founder of the Sleeping Crow School, which has been in the limelight recently. If he can be used properly, he will definitely become an excellent chess piece in the future."
His eyes flickered, and a holographic projection shot out from the panel.
On the projection, it was the video footage that had been widely circulated on the forum not long ago, of Zhou Yue defeating the visiting Southeast Lingyu and Capital Lingyu at Zhonglu College with one man and one man.
Looking at the giant crow in the video, which was hundreds of meters long and was killing people in all directions, the young man had a look of longing in his eyes.
"Seventeen is from the capital. As her cousin, Zhou Yue is most likely from the capital. But it seems that Shiqi doesn't know at all that her cousin is already the youngest teaching assistant in the history of Zhonglu College.
The leader of young students in the academy. Ha, that’s interesting.”
The young man laughed twice and then closed the video.
The holographic projection is retracted.
Offline from the forum.
An information database appeared on the panel, which contained the private information of all members of the "Revenge Organization", as well as collected dynamic information.
The young man looked at each person from top to bottom, leaving a mark, latest evaluation, and expected ranking after each person's name.
"Revenge is the greatest motivation for a person to become stronger, and it is also the only ray of light in despair."
"In just ten years, these boys and girls will all grow up and have their lifelong goal of revenge against the Lei family."
"That is a family of descendants of the grand master who is still standing. How difficult is it to get revenge on it? Therefore, they will be bound by revenge for the rest of their lives and become my fastest and sharpest knife, helping me to reach a high position in the future.
.”
The young man's tone was cold and his voice was hoarse.
"Although there are a little less people, but... let's just let it be this much for now. If there are too many people, it will be easy to be exposed."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
When the young man closed the panel and raised his head, his original pale and indifferent face was gone.
Instead, there was a warm and warm smile.
He walked to the door and opened it. There were two students, a male and a female, standing at the door.
The two of them looked at the youngest and most popular junior teacher of Capital College in front of them with admiration on their faces.
The male student said slightly nervously: "Teacher Lei, you are indeed here. We have questions about spiritual pets and would like to ask you for advice. Is it inconvenient for you?"
The young man smiled and said: "Teacher, you teach me knowledge and resolve doubts. Come in, if you have any confusion, just ask."
…
In the lower capital, the commercial street along the Mingyue River finally started the last carnival of the weekend.
At the end of the commercial street, in a small building only twenty meters away from the river, Zhou Yue stood by the window, looking at the dim river water under the brown sky and the lively and bustling long street not far away, with a trace of emotion in his eyes.
Shang Ying, who stood behind Zhou Yue with her arms folded, used her senses to follow Zhou's father and mother who were wandering on the commercial street. She glanced at Zhou Yue complicatedly from time to time, and let out a cold snort after a while: "Hey, are you still here?
How long will it take to watch?”
Zhou Yue shrugged slightly: "I can look at my own house as long as you want."
Shang Ying's expression became more and more irritable: "Isn't it just the real estate in the above-ground city? Is it like this?"
Zhou Yue looked indifferent: "What do you know?"
This is the first time in his life that he owns his own property in the capital.
Although this is a lower-class capital, the housing prices are ten times that of Nanhe City, which is also a ground-level city.
But now, not only this small building, but also the entire commercial street to the end of the bridge is his property.
Throughout the whole day of Saturday, Zhou Yue was busy taking over the capital real estate promised by Lei Linlou.
In fact, both Zhou Yue and Lei Linlou knew very well that the 100 million tribute coins and these properties were not so much Lei Linlou's life-saving money as Zhou Yue's test of the Lei family in a sense.
Because of this, Shang Ying couldn't understand that Zhou Yue spent a whole day busy taking over the property.
Zhou Yue was naturally too lazy to explain. In fact, he couldn't explain it. After all, the root of his obsession with real estate lay in his past life that he could never go back to.
Shang Ying seemed to be at odds with Zhou Yue, still chattering: "Huh, in my opinion, real estate in the above-ground cities is the least valuable and the hardest to keep. The monsters in the alien plane are recuperating and reviving.
As well as those shadow demons who don’t know what they are thinking, sooner or later, they will open a plane passage from the underground and invade the earth plane again. At that time, the first to suffer will be the cities on the ground. And your so-called real estate,
It will vanish into nothing in the blink of an eye.”
Zhou Yue raised his head and looked at the huge city above in the completely darkened sky, as well as the huge ships in the clouds, and said after a while: "But this time, they may not invade from the ground again."
Shang Ying looked deeply at Zhou Yue and said nothing more.
Zhou Yue lowered his head and smiled. He could make Shang Ying, who was described in Bai Yan's notes as "unparalleled in arrogance and peerless genius", willing to follow him. In addition to the emotional oath that he had forced her to take before, he naturally also had the influence of his status as "the top executive of the Immortal Organization".
Among them, even, this is the main reason.
Not only Shang Ying, but also senior officials of the federal forces such as the Capital College, the Federal Parliament, the Military Department, Lei Neng Group, etc. have been tolerant of him these days.
Making a riot in the capital, fighting in the theater at night, oppressing the descendants of the Grand Master, blackmailing the Lei family... every incident was enough to cause an uproar, but they were suppressed by the federal high-level officials, and it was as if nothing had happened.
Among them, there is naturally Zhou Yue's temptation and game against the federal senior officials.
And all these privileges are due to the existence of the Immortal Organization and the magical power it possesses.
Zhou Yue subconsciously "looked" towards the Lingyu command room.
In the past few days, in addition to Li Baomei and Chen Xuejian, many outstanding graduates from Zhonglu College have signed contracts with Miracle Creatures and become Lingyu with his help.
All the information about them and their spiritual companions has also been included in the Spirit Control Command Room.
Including Feng Yongde, Mrs. Gu and others from earlier, the number of members in the Lingyu Command Room has exceeded ten.
"It's still too little."
Zhou Yue was thinking about it when suddenly, a prompt sounded in the spiritual pet reception room - the orange cat informant Xiaohua was online.
Before Zhou Yue could say anything, a picture came into his mind.
In the picture, my cousin Gu Ruoxi is sitting on the bed in the small room.
From virtual to real, gradually, even the colors become richer. It feels like watching a cartoon.
"This is... the special skill of your Orange Cat Informant Department, the [Shadow Catching] skill that is called the [Wind Catching] skill of the Linghu Informant Department?"
Informants in the spiritual world, catching wind and shadow.
Zhou Yue smiled slightly.
But as he watched, Zhou Yue's face became a little solemn.
Although there is no sound.
However, through the violent fluctuations in Gu Ruoxi's mood, the blurred email in the picture, and the looming keywords in the email, Zhou Yue gradually became uneasy.
"Zhou Yue... the new king... organizes... revenge?"
Zhou Yue murmured softly.
At the end of the scene, the cousin hesitated several times to dial her mobile phone number, but finally gave up, with a bleak smile on her face that was not for her age.
The night wind blows in, and the small building faces the river.
Zhou Yue looked at the river and began to think deeply.
After a while, he said: "Old Shang, do you think my cousin Gu Ruoxi already knows what happened fifteen years ago?"
Shang Ying sneered and said: "It's not impossible. Although she is very good at acting and even hid it from her own mother, I knew at first sight that this little girl is extremely thoughtful and extremely pessimistic."
Zhou Yue nodded slightly: "If she knows, then who told her? And what does the other party want to do?"
Shang Ying said calmly: "Go and ask your little girl, don't you know?"
Zhou Yue thought for a while and said: "That's not necessary. No matter how deep your mind is, Ruoxi is just a little girl with limited knowledge. No matter what the other party wants to plan, he is prepared. Since he is prepared, he will definitely do it.
Revealing the truth."
Shang Ying thoughtfully said: "Then what are you going to do? Continue to wait and see?"
Zhou Yue glanced at Shang Ying and said meaningfully: "Do you think I am the kind of person who likes to be led by others? Even a certain eighth-level quasi-grandmaster couldn't do it, let alone
This 'zero'."
Shang Ying snorted and didn't answer.
Zhou Yue cast his eyes on a small restaurant on the far side of the long street: "Director Mo seems to be having barbecue with his men, go and invite him over."
