391: Chapter 391 I'll take this mission!

Jiang You listened to the mysterious whispers of his two teammates beside him, feeling his back soaked in cold sweat.

"Thinking about dimensions, my ass!"

Jiang You wailed in his heart, chewing on his bun like wax: "All I can think about right now is, if the authorities find out that the faceless big demon who robbed everyone down to their underwear is actually me..."

"Will they strap me to a rocket and launch me out of the solar system like a firework?"

Jiang You ate this luxurious buffet breakfast, which could be called a state banquet level, in a daze.

After the meal, the students of Class F of Magic City Martial Arts University gathered together excitedly to discuss their one-day tour of the Imperial Capital.

Because they had successfully won the overall championship, the priority exploration rights for the S-Rank Dungeon [Dragon Fall Abyss] had firmly fallen into the pocket of Magic City Martial Arts University.

However, Principal Pang Ban had specifically instructed them last night that Dragon Fall Abyss was located in the suburbs of the Imperial Capital and was a newly discovered dungeon.

Therefore, Principal Pang announced with a radiant face at the morning meeting that, to ensure the absolute safety of the students, he would personally lead several lead instructors from Magic City Martial Arts University over the next week.

They would cooperate with the official personnel from the Martial Arts General Administration to conduct an in-depth safety inspection of the dungeon first.

Only after confirming that there were no remaining unknown dangers would they officially organize the main team members, including Jiang You, to enter the secret realm for exploration.

In other words, before the inspection was completed, these students who had just experienced two major battles were given a long holiday, allowing them to relax and rest in the Imperial Capital for a while.

"Brother Jiang, we're planning to go on the roller coaster and stop by the museum while we're at it. Are you coming?" Gou Fugui leaned over and asked, full of anticipation.

Jiang You, sporting dark circles under his eyes, waved his hand listlessly: "You guys go ahead. I'm feeling a bit dizzy and want to go for a walk by myself to clear my head."

Watching Jiang You's heavy back, which seemed to carry the fate of the entire human race, Xiang Batian and Gou Fugui looked at each other and felt a sense of awe.

"Brother Jiang must be contemplating tactical layouts for Dragon Fall Abyss," Gou Fugui whispered to Xiang Batian beside him. "As expected of Captain Jiang. We only think about playing, while Brother Jiang is constantly worrying about our future. He truly has the bearing of a Great Emperor!"

Jiang You: "..."

Great Emperor, my ass!

I just want to turn myself in right now and see if I can get a suspended sentence!

One minute later, Jiang You walked out of the Qianlong Hotel alone and wandered aimlessly along the quiet sidewalk near the hotel.

The autumn breeze brushed his face, and the sunlight filtered through the tall plane trees on both sides of the road, casting mottled, golden fragments.

However, at this very moment, the Imperial Capital was calm on the surface, but undercurrents were already surging in the dark.

Because today, the storm regarding the "Overall Champion of the Hundred Schools" was sweeping through the entire Great Xia Martial Arts World, and the probing plan targeting Jiang You, the "Mysterious Big Demon," had also quietly begun.

Imperial Capital Martial Arts University, President Xia Yun's office.

Last night, after President Xia Yun returned from that top-secret meeting at the General Administration that lasted all night, he called Qin Zhuo into his office alone with a strange expression.

"Xiao Zhuo, the Principal... has a rather special private task and wants to ask for your opinion."

President Xia Yun held his thermos cup, speaking somewhat hesitantly, tentatively mentioning the idea of letting Qin Zhuo privately contact Jiang You.

Standing in front of the desk, the moment Qin Zhuo heard the name "Jiang You," her whole body stiffened slightly, and a flash of extremely unnatural radiance crossed her fair, pretty face.

To be honest, when mentioning Jiang You, the emotions in her heart were extremely complex.

She had indeed had quite a few unpleasant encounters with Jiang You.

But Qin Zhuo had always been proud, and after calming down, she had to admit that back at the Qianlong Hotel, it was she who had been prejudiced by a few rumors online and had taken the initiative to provoke him.

The misunderstanding at the Qianlong Hotel, in the final analysis, was mostly her own responsibility.

And yesterday, after witnessing Jiang You's overbearing, vast, and tangible terrifying blood energy suppress the entire audience on the high platform... Qin Zhuo was truly completely awakened.

Her SSS-Rank Supernatural Ability [Divine Phoenix Undying Fire], in the face of the other party's pure physical aura that didn't even use supernatural abilities, couldn't even muster a spark.

"No wonder he didn't take me seriously at all back then..."

Qin Zhuo bit her lip in her heart. Thinking of the absurd scene where she had gone to his door like a shrew and was even forced to play "hide and seek" with him in the men's restroom, she felt her whole face burning as if it were about to ignite.

So it wasn't that Jiang You was arrogant. It was that she, at that time, was really as naive as a child making trouble for no reason in his eyes.

After being completely crushed by Jiang You's strength, the nameless anger that had been pent up in Qin Zhuo's heart for many days strangely dissipated for the most part.

On the contrary, whenever she heard Jiang You's name now, she felt more of an indescribable embarrassment, and... a touch of deep curiosity that she herself was unwilling to admit.

What kind of existence was that man who could put on the biggest show in front of all the geniuses of Great Xia, yet turn around and hide in his room to gnaw on chicken drumsticks, watch spongebob, and drink two-liter bottles of cola?

Watching Qin Zhuo standing there with her head down, biting her lip, her expression changing in a tangled manner, President Xia Yun, who was sitting in the chair, felt his heart skip a beat.

He let out a long sigh, thinking that his precious student was feeling aggrieved and unwilling to contact her enemy, so he quickly took the initiative to find a way out and said gently:

"Actually... Xiao Zhuo, it's completely fine if you don't want to go."

"I was just mentioning it casually; it's entirely up to you whether you go or not. If you find it difficult, I'll go to the General Administration and decline it for you right now."

However, before President Xia Yun could finish his comforting words, Qin Zhuo, who was standing opposite him, suddenly looked up as if she had made a major decision.

Her beautiful eyes flashed with a strange light, and she took a deep breath and said softly: "No, President. This task... I accept."

"Pfft—cough cough!"

President Xia Yun, who had just picked up his thermos cup and taken a big sip of wolfberry tea, broke his composure on the spot upon hearing this, coughing violently and loudly, his old face flushed red.

The old man was frantically wiping his clothes with a tissue while staring at Qin Zhuo in a daze, his whole person completely disorganized in the wind.

What was going on?! The shy and timid expression on Qin Zhuo's face just now, which even vaguely revealed a bit of anticipation, what on earth was that?

Could it be that those old foxes at the General Administration who studied ancient texts all day really had imagined the truth of the future of Great Xia in their minds?

President Xia Yun was in a state of confusion.

"Do young people nowadays really have this strange hobby of being crushed by the strong?"

The old man let out a sorrowful moan in his heart, feeling that the generation gap was already big enough to fit a planet.

Looking at President Xia Yun, who was full of doubt about life, Qin Zhuo did not explain too much.

She just silently clenched her fists, and the image of that back with hands in pockets flashed through her mind.

She just wanted to take this opportunity to legitimately meet this number one person of the younger generation of Great Xia, and by the way... sincerely apologize to him for her previous naive behavior and explain it.

Right, that's all. It's definitely not because of any weird reasons!
