194: Chapter 194 Ji Shuyue is getting married, intercepting Yun Zhuo
Ji Shuyue was also in the office, watching the surveillance of the examination hall.
Her younger brother, Ji Shuo, had originally come to give her money.
He didn't know what was going on, but his older sister was actually short on money and had borrowed fifty million from him.
Having just given her the money, he was pointing at Yun Zhuo on the screen and saying, "Sis, didn't you say the clearance route is randomly generated every year?
But looking at that brat Yun Zhuo, how does it seem like he knows the correct route? Look at how fast he's speeding; he doesn't even pause at any of the intersections."
Ji Shuyue also had a strange look on her face. The route map for the first level was only determined after the gates opened and the surveillance re-transmitted the positioning.
Then, it was only known after the surveillance sequence numbers were reorganized. How could that brat possibly know in advance?
But if one were to say he didn't know, then why did he charge straight through every intersection without stopping, and every single one was the correct route?
Seeing his sister staring at the screen without speaking, Ji Shuo thought she wasn't interested in the topic, so he changed the subject: "Sis, I heard you're getting married. Is it true?"
"Who said that?"
"I heard it from Teacher Ma in the Melee Combat Department. He heard it from Teacher Wu. I didn't ask who Teacher Wu heard it from, but this rumor has already spread everywhere."
"Is that so? Who am I marrying?"
"Si Qingyun, of course. You two are together every day; you are a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven."
"Did Teacher Ma say that too?"
"It's not just him; everyone is saying it."
"When did they start saying that? Why have I never heard anyone mention it?"
"I don't know. I only heard it from Teacher Ma yesterday afternoon."
"You only heard it yesterday, and it's already spread today?"
"Perhaps it's been longer than that."
Ji Shuyue shook her head. "It only started yesterday. If it had existed before, would you only be hearing about it now?"
Ji Shuo thought about it and nodded. "When you put it that way, it does seem correct. But Sis, you're getting married, how could you not tell me? I'm your own brother. After Mom passed away, I'm the only family you have left in this world."
"There's no such thing. What am I supposed to tell you?"
"You mean someone is spreading rumors? Who would spread a rumor like that?"
"Si Qingyun."
"Him? No way, right? He doesn't seem like the type to spread rumors."
"If this rumor were true, who would benefit the most?"
Ji Shuo thought for a moment. "Si Qingyun?"
Ji Shuyue nodded. "You aren't too stupid. Does the family know about this?"
"I don't know. There hasn't been any news from the family."
"Then why aren't you going back to help me ask around?"
"Now? But I have classes this afternoon."
"I am your own sister."
"Alright then, but you have to approve my leave. Don't dock my performance bonus."
Ji Shuyue rolled her eyes. "If there's any movement from the family, you must tell me immediately."
… Underground Labyrinth, Intersection Number 30. The Thirteen Protectors looked at the abyss before them, all of them swallowing nervously.
"Did Young Master Chen make a mistake? If we jump down from here, won't we be smashed to pieces?" Wu Huan swallowed and said.
Gong Lei sneered. "This is a shortcut. If we don't take it, we'll never catch up to that brat."
"Then why don't you jump first and set an example for everyone?"
"I'll jump, then I'll jump."
After Gong Lei finished speaking, he patted his War Princess and slid straight down.
The others only then realized that the guy's War Princess's First Form was an eagle. He had managed to show off again.
The Tenth Elite Guard stood out with a smile and said, "Everyone, I'll be going first then." As he spoke, he rode his War Princess and flew down as well.
Three of the Thirteen Protectors flew down, and five others had War Princesses of the insect type, so they crawled straight down the cliff face. The remaining five people watched everyone else leave and couldn't help but feel anxious.
This wasn't just about whether they could catch up to Yun Zhuo and kill him to marry a wealthy beauty; it was also related to their ranking among the Thirteen Protectors and their ranking in the school.
If they didn't even make it into the top five hundred in the end, the resources and benefits they would receive in the future would be worlds apart.
For example, those outside the top five hundred were not qualified to live in detached dormitories. But they were all Recommended Enrollment Students; they had lived in detached dormitories since they arrived. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if they had to move out later?
However, their War Princesses were all in beast forms; they couldn't fly or climb. How were they supposed to get down?
"Young Master Du, Gong Lei and the others have all gone down. Aren't you anxious?"
Du Mingguang glanced at the Eighth Elite Guard. "You're anxious, so why don't you go down first?"
At this moment, his War Princess said, "Continuing to delay is just a waste of time. Let's just take the proper route."
"What's the rush? Let them go first."
The Twelfth Elite Guard suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Look over there, it seems there's a rope."
Hearing this, Du Mingxing frowned, because he knew that wasn't a rope; it was the spider silk his dear Auntie Pu had left for him.
He had wanted to wait until these people couldn't wait any longer and had all left, so he could slide down the spider silk. He hadn't expected the blockhead Twelfth to discover it.
"Go!"
Du Mingguang immediately jumped off the back of his War Princess. The War Princess also transformed into human form and rushed over with him to grab the spider silk. When the others saw this, they also rushed over to grab it.
Du Mingxing was furious. This was left for me by Auntie Pu! What are you all grabbing for?
After the War Princesses turned back into human forms, it was ten people hanging onto a single strand of spider silk sliding down. Du Mingxing had run to grab it first, but because the distance was too far, he didn't manage to be the first.
The people who had gone down before had already reached the bottom.
Gong Lei, who had gone down first, had already reached the bottom, but he didn't stop here to block Yun Zhuo; instead, he charged straight towards the exit.
Killing Yun Zhuo to marry the wealthy beautiful twins was important, but the school ranking was even more important.
If he couldn't make it into the top five hundred, he, a Recommended Enrollment Student, would have to move out of his detached villa. That would be so embarrassing.
The other two Elite Guards who flew down right after him saw him run and, after a moment of hesitation, followed suit. As for who would block Yun Zhuo here, weren't there still people behind who hadn't come down yet?
The five people who finally crawled down using the insect forms of their War Princesses were the unluckiest. As soon as they came down, they saw Yun Zhuo charging over from a distance.
That Shen Zhao from before was one of these five.
Yun Zhuo also hadn't expected that anyone would be able to get in front of him, let alone the Thirteen Protectors under Chen Qi. If the Thirteen Protectors were here, wouldn't Chen Qi be even further ahead?
Damn it, there's a shortcut in this labyrinth!
Shen Zhao saw from afar that Yun Zhuo was approaching, but in his heart, he sneered repeatedly.
Back then, he had wanted to deal with Yun Zhuo, but was scolded by Luo Sen, who asked if he was stupid. Today, he would let everyone see what a piece of trash Yun Zhuo was in front of him, Shen Zhao.
A Recommended Enrollment Student who hadn't even managed to get a detached dormitory—to put it nicely, he was a Recommended Enrollment Student, but to put it bluntly, he was just trash whose Opportunity had been stolen by someone else.
The other few Elite Guards also saw Yun Zhuo. Although the light here was dim, the flying device Yun Zhuo was riding was simply too flashy.
It could be seen from far away, like the colorful lights in a disco. If it were accompanied by intense music, it would be a mobile disco.
It was impossible to catch up to those three bastards, Gong Lei and the others, now, but if he could take out Yun Zhuo here, it wouldn't be a loss to marry Auntie Pu and that pair of sisters from the Cui family.
They looked at each other and saw the urgency in each other's eyes—the urgency of 'first come, first served.'
No one gave the order, but everyone charged out at the same time.
In the process of charging toward Yun Zhuo, their mounts turned into photons and dispersed beneath them, and their War Princesses were initiating their Second Form, enveloping them.
But just at the moment when the photons were about to envelop them, the scene was suddenly pressed by an invisible hand, hitting the pause button. Time Stop!
