Chapter 217

"Don't disturb my conversation with this brother. All of you can leave."

As if thinking that his people were too noisy, the stone race young master frowned.

"Yes."

The group of stone race people respectfully replied. Then, they secretly glared at Gu Chen, warning him to be more polite with their young master. Only then did they leave.

"It doesn't matter if you aren't familiar with Mu Ziyu. As long as I can meet her, I will give you a gift."

The stone race young master went back to the original topic.

"Can I ask, why do you want to know her?"

Gu Chen frowned. He had already rejected, but this stone race young master still didn't give up. It seemed like he was certain that he and Mu Ziyu had a close relationship.

"I've long heard that Lady Mu is an outstanding beauty. Any man would want to know her."

The stone race young master replied.

"So you want to pursue her?"

Gu Chen found it funny. He didn't know if he was speaking the truth or not, but the stone race and the human race were too different. No matter what, they couldn't be together.

"Why not?"

The stone race young master said calmly.

"I really can't help you with this."

Gu Chen rejected again.

Not to mention the fact that he wasn't familiar with Mu Ziyu, even if he was, with his personality, he wouldn't do something like this.

"I see. Forget it then."

The stone race young master gave up this time and reached out a hand that was covered in dust.

"No matter what, it was fate that brought us together. My name is Shi Jian."

"Chen Gu."

Gu Chen shook hands with him. The two of them knew each other.

"If that's the case, I won't disturb Brother Chen's meal any longer. I'll be leaving first. If you need any help in the future, feel free to find me."

Shi Jian stood up.

Gu Chen's heart skipped a beat as he blurted out. "Brother Shi, please wait a moment. I really do have something I need help with."

Shi Jian sat back down. "I wonder what it is?"

Gu Chen suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. He had just rejected someone and now he wanted to ask for help. It was not right.

It was just that he didn't know many people in the academy, so he needed a breakthrough.

"I've heard that there are some clubs in the academy, such as' Listening to the Rain Leaning Building 'and' Cool Breeze Villa '. They often organize private gatherings. I wonder if Brother Shi has any connections?"

Since he couldn't count on Ling Xiaoxiao's recommendation, Gu Chen turned his attention to Shi Jian. As long as he was willing to help him, he would find other opportunities to repay him.

"Brother Chen, you're looking for the wrong person. If you want to participate in the Cool Breeze Villa's gathering, you should look for Miss Mu Ziyu."

Shi Jian smiled.

"Oh? What do you mean? "Gu Chen was surprised.

Shi Jian couldn't help but scrutinize Gu Chen. "Could it be that Brother Chen doesn't know that the Cool Breeze Lodge was first established by Miss Mu Ziyu? Although she's a teacher now and not a student, she still has a lot of influence on this club. "

Gu Chen was suddenly enlightened. He didn't expect that Mu Ziyu would be able to help him long ago!

However, thinking of the other party's attitude towards him last time, Gu Chen couldn't help but frown.

He didn't know how he had offended Mu Ziyu, so he couldn't bring himself to ask her for help.

"What about Brother Shi? Do you have any connections? If you can help me with this, there will be a gift of gratitude. "

Shi Jian pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine.

"I have a connection to the 'Blood Moon in the Sky'. It happens that this club will have a gathering in two days to welcome us new students to join. If Brother Chen is interested, you can come with me at that time. "

Gu Chen's face lit up when he heard this. "Then I'll have to trouble Brother Shi."

"You're welcome. Where does Brother Chen live? How can I inform you?"

Gu Chen told him that he was usually in the library. Shi Jian was slightly surprised when he heard this.

"Brother Chen is the manager of the library."

Gu Chen's identity was very different from what he had imagined.

"Did I disappoint Brother Shi?"

Gu Chen smiled.

"Not at all. Even if Brother Shi is only a manager, he is not someone to be trifled with."

Shi Jian shook his head and stood up. "I'll go find Brother Chen in two days. I'll take my leave now."

He left. Looking at his back, the white ape next to him looked at Gu Chen sympathetically and squeaked a few times.

"You're saying he's the same as Ling Xiaoxiao, just brushing me off and won't take me there?"

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows.

White Ape nodded.

"I don't think so. This stone clan's young master is a bit special."

Gu Chen murmured. He couldn't tell why, but this person gave him a very different feeling.

Two days later, in the evening.

As soon as Gu Chen walked out of the library, he saw Shi Jian and a few of his clansmen waiting for him.

"Hmph, stinking brat, how dare you make our young master wait for you!"

His clansmen were as hot-tempered as ever.

Gu Chen didn't find this strange and smiled. "Sorry to keep Brother Shi waiting."

"We've only just arrived. It's getting late, let's go."

He led the way, and the group quickly left the True Martial Academy.

The "Blood Moon in the Sky" gathering was held in a mountain not far from VMU.

This mountain was almost hollow, and inside was a huge cave. When Gu Chen and the stone clan arrived, many students had already gathered.

"Welcome, Brother Shi. You're a bit late, the others are already here."

As Shi Jian arrived, many people greeted him warmly.

As Shi Jian had told Gu Chen, this gathering was mainly to welcome the new students of the True Martial Arts Academy. Besides Shi Jian, the young master of the Stone Clan, there were many new students present.

Every single one of them either possessed a special physique or had an illustrious background.

Among these people, Gu Chen was very mediocre. Naturally, not many people greeted him.

He didn't mind. He didn't come to this gathering to socialize.

After welcoming the new students of the academy, the highlight of the gathering began. Everyone took out the treasures that they had brought with them, and those that caught their eye started to negotiate and trade.

The so-called gathering was equivalent to a free market. Here, everyone could be a seller or a buyer, exchanging for each other's needs.

Some students even set up stalls on the ground to sell a lot of things.

Gu Chen strolled around. Today, he was here to understand the situation. He didn't expect to find any clues about Jiang Yige on his first visit.

The students of VMU came from all over the continent. The things they sold were clearly regional.

For example, the yao students from the Southern Mountains brought a lot of good furs. The stone clan from the Western Desert brought a few rare ores.

Gu Chen skimmed through the stalls. Suddenly, his eyes focused on a stall on the right in front of him.

There, a beautiful girl with a cold temperament was holding a sword. There were a few things on her stall.

It was Ye Qingshuang. She had come to this gathering.

But what made Gu Chen's eyes pause was not this old friend, but the thing she was selling.

It was a small purple pagoda. If his memory served him right, it had appeared before in the information about Jiang Yige!
