Chapter two hundred and twentieth growing pains
Jiang Tao and Li Qian went back to the room to change clothes and prepare to go out, while Lu Chuan and Huo Changge took the opportunity to escape back to the room.
Jiang Mo also followed with two kittens and looked at Lu Chuan with a worried look.
Pingping and Anan returned to their familiar old place, quickly found their base, and started playing.
"Don't worry. Since Uncle Jiang said he won't go, he must have made a decision in his heart. Besides, Aunt Li is here," Lu Chuan comforted.
Jiang Mo nodded, "I heard that Senior Brother Lu will be going out again in a while?"
"Well, I should go on a business trip to Jingguo. I have more important work." Lu Chuan turned around and went to the kitchen to pour water and motioned Jiang Mo to sit in the living room.
"Several uncles and aunts who I have never met came here yesterday, and they had a lot of good things to say at home. In the end, I realized that they just wanted to meet you." Jiang Mo felt in his heart that Lu Chuan was so awesome. No wonder he had heard many people say this before.
Call him Boss Lu. "Will you be back soon like last time?"
"It's not clear yet. If the work goes well, it will go faster. However, this job has a strong continuity, and I may have to travel frequently in the future." Lu Chuan smiled and handed the water to Jiang Mo and Huo Changge. "Finally*
*Are Ping and An'an still obedient?"
"They are quite well-behaved. Even though I have to go to school during the day, I feel that they are quite pitiful being locked up at home." Jiang Mo waved to An An. When the kitten heard Lu Chuan calling its name, it turned around and jumped.
In Jiang Mo's arms.
"But some classmates suddenly became very strange. I heard someone secretly say bad things about me several times..." Jiang Mo lowered his head and touched An An, saying with some disappointment.
When she returned to the class after her birthday, many of her classmates became strange. They often talked about her secretly and spread unrealistic rumors. This confused her. She had never met her in Wu Kingdom.
I've been through this situation and I don't know what I did wrong.
Lu Chuan was slightly startled and realized that Jiang Mo had encountered something that often happened in school. Girls who are too good are isolated in the class, which can be regarded as a form of campus 80.
Although Jiang Mo was beautiful and a practitioner when she first came here, her academic performance was very poor and she had no airs. Her classmates liked her very much because she was an excellent person with obvious shortcomings.
But now she has made up for her shortcomings, and her academic performance is so good that her peers can't catch up, which makes people feel distant and jealous of her.
"Don't be sad. Your excellence will naturally create pressure on your peers around you. Some people will be jealous because of this, and will reject you or even want to isolate you. This is not your fault." Lu Chuan comforted with a smile.
Said, rubbing Jiang Mo's head.
"If you are very concerned, you can directly ask the other party what they think. We have done nothing wrong, so don't worry, and since we are practitioners, we don't have to worry about the other party doing something extreme or getting together to bully you.
If you don't care about it, just ignore it. You can take the high school entrance examination in the second half of the year. If everything goes well, you will go to high school and go to school with your peers. Then you will have new and better classmates and partners."
"But I thought we were good friends." Jiang Mo understood Lu Chuan's explanation, but he was still a little disappointed.
"Actually, everyone has fewer friends as they go forward in life. As you move into a new environment, you gradually lose contact with the people in the past environment, and the relationship will gradually fade away. However, I will tell you the truth of these adults.
You, you have to slowly experience it in your own life."
"Hey, you're only one year older than me..." Jiang Mo scolded, thinking that Lu Chuan was old-fashioned.
But I traveled through time and lived many years longer than you, Lu Chuan thought to himself and took a sip of water into his mouth.
When I'm busy, I often forget that my body is still only sixteen years old. Report it to Utopia for employing child labor!
Huo Changge looked at the two people sitting side by side on the sofa with some confusion, each holding a cat and talking, and he always felt like he was redundant.
It's obviously a living room for three people...
...
"Qian Liu..." Jiang Tao recognized the figure standing under the streetlight looking at his mobile phone at a glance. Qian Liu was a personal guard of the City Lord's Mansion and had studied at Beining College. How could he not recognize him.
Qian Liu raised his head in disbelief when he heard the voice. When he saw Jiang Tao and Li Qian, he knelt down with a plop and cried, "Dean Jiang!"
Although he had long known from Wu Bing that Jiang Tao was not dead, and the goal of his trip was to find him, when he really saw Jiang Tao, he still felt like his faith had collapsed.
"Get up first and find a place to talk." Jiang Tao was also touched. Li Qian held his hand in time and gave him support and comfort.
The three of them found a barbecue restaurant that was still open and sat down. It was almost midnight, and they were the only customers in the store.
Qian Liu also calmed down his mood. He still had the task entrusted to him by Wu Bing and could not act emotionally.
When the store served the food, Jiang Tao set up a soundproofing ban, and then asked Qian Liu how he appeared in Utopia.
He told Jiang Tao and Li Qian how their group escaped from Beining City, went through difficulties and obstacles along the way, and finally arrived at Dingxi City after being separated.
They met Huo Changge, who ran away, and they met Lu Chuan, who also ran away, so Wu Bing sent him to join Utopia so that he could go to Utopia to find Jiang Tao.
"Dean Jiang, this is what the Lord of the City left for Young Master Bing and Miss Bing. He only left a sentence, asking them to come to Utopia to find you..." Qian Liu took out the jade small from the storage ring.
The gun was held in front of Jiang Tao.
Jiang Tao stared at this small gun in bewilderment. As a magical weapon, it contained very little energy, because it was also a gift given to Wu Qing by Jiang Tao when he was still very weak.
"Xiao Qian, as Xiao Bing and Huining are members of the royal family of the Wu Kingdom, I'm afraid they won't come to Utopia. Wu Qing and we have been close friends for many years. Now that Xiao Bing and Huining have something to do, we will definitely not ignore it. Xiao Bing asked you to come here. If you follow
Do you need any help from us?"
Li Qian took the conversation and wanted to take the initiative in the conversation. She focused on helping Wu Bing and Wu Huining, avoiding Wu Qing, who was the most troublesome.
"Dean Jiang, the Lord of the City is still alive..." Qian Liu remembered what Wu Bing told him. After arriving at Utopia, he only asked Jiang Tao. Only Jiang Tao could help Wu Qing.
"We know that Wu Qing is imprisoned in Jingguo, but we have no way to save him." Li Qian said coldly. Wu Bing and Qian Liu obviously knew Jiang Tao's character and wanted to use this weakness to force him.
Jiang Tao was a little softer and more indecisive. He and Wu Qing were indeed close comrades-in-arms, but this was not the reason why they could force Jiang Tao to go to Jingguo to die.
"Dean Jiang, please, you are the only one who can save the Lord of the City..."
"Xiaoqian, you are wrong. We can't save Wu Qing, and Wu Qing may not be in trouble. Wu Guo may win on the northern battlefield, and Jing Guo may also negotiate peace with Wu Guo. As a captured royal family, Wu Qing,
Likely to be rescued.
We have watched Xiao Bing and Huining grow up, and we, the couple, will never stand by if they need help, but if Xiao Bing wants us to go to Jingguo to rescue Wu Qing, then please forgive us for not being able to help."
...
After accepting the military ministry's dinner invitation, Lu Chuan also gave up struggling, and it was difficult for him to refuse requests from many people, such as Li Huaijin, who had helped him a lot before.
Lu Chuan is a person who remembers his gratitude. When he was still very weak in the Wu Kingdom, Li Huaijin shared a lot of useful information with him, gave him shopping discounts, and stuffed gifts into the couple's gift bag. These help may be of great help to her.
It was all a matter of convenience, but it was still quite important to Lu Chuan at the time.
Li Huaijin is not even married, so of course she is playing matchmaking for others. When the two met, the person who asked Li Huaijin to help with the conversation had not yet arrived, so Li Huaijin joked with Lu Chuan with a smile that they had already talked about it.
Don't forget each other even if you are rich, but she didn't expect Lu Chuan to become rich so quickly.
"Don't laugh at me. I've been worried about it for a while. Speaking of which, has Utopia ever had such a popular task before? How do they choose people? I don't dare to do it now at job fairs. They are all prestigious.
Character, if I brush it off, I won't offend anyone."
"How could it be possible? If you could find your child, it would be too late for everyone to thank you. Speaking of which, your information skills are so powerful. Have you ever considered providing services to outsiders in the future? I can help you be your agent!"
Li Huaijin is very keen on business opportunities. Since Lu Chuan can only take charge personally, there is a high probability that his ability will not be able to make a talisman. Information abilities are also very rare in Utopia and are very useful, so they will definitely be very popular.
Lu Chuan smiled bitterly and said, "Minister Jin also wanted to obtain a bunch of information from me on behalf of the Ministry of Military Affairs yesterday. I didn't dare to agree. It is estimated that it will not be used by civilians for the time being. If the situation becomes easier in the future, I will give priority to you."
"Wow, Crab! That's settled, Boss Lu." Li Huaijin showed a happy smile on his face.
"Let me tell you, who is the person asking you today?" Lu Chuan felt a little strange. It is really rare to be late for inviting someone to dinner.
"This is a sister who has helped me a lot. She works far away, so please be patient."
As Li Huaijin was talking, the door of the box was suddenly pushed open, and a lady with wavy yellow hair rushed in.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long." The lady bowed repeatedly as soon as she came in. Lu Chuan and Li Huaijin quickly stood up and said it didn't matter. They hadn't been here long.
"Lu Chuan, let me introduce you. This sister's name is Zhao Manyu. She is the sea protector of our Utopia. She usually works either on business trips or at the beach, so she came a little further today."
"Sea protector?" Lu Chuan heard a strange word and immediately thought of Blue Star's forest rangers, wondering if they were protecting the marine ecological environment?
After chatting for a while, Lu Chuan understood that the so-called sea protector's full name is the maritime security protector. He is mainly responsible for dealing with some sea monsters that intend to invade Utopia, and occasionally escorts trade ships between Jingguo and Utopia.
Zhao Manyu's special ability is mediocre water control, but it does not require any energy consumption, so the endless sea is her absolute home field, and she can often fight off a bunch of sea beasts by herself.
Li Huaijin said that Zhao Manyu helped her a lot, and she was rescued once on her way to Jingguo for sea trade in her early years. The two formed a friendship and found that they had similar interests, and gradually developed into sisters.
Zhao Manyu didn't know that Li Huaijin was very familiar with Lu Chuan. On the contrary, it was Li Huaijin who took the initiative because she knew that the other person had always missed her child.
"If you want to go to Jingguo, Sister Manyu is quite suitable. She often travels between Utopia and Jingguo. She has been to many states and counties in Jingguo. Whether it is by the water or the river, her ability is very good."
It’s very useful, and the ability to control water is not only useful in combat, it can also have unexpected effects in many special situations.”
Zhao Manyu didn't speak much, but Li Huaijin kept recommending her. When she introduced people, she was as careful as when she introduced products, and she looked like she wanted to tell Lu Chuan, "OMG! Choose her!"
Lu Chuan also silently made a mental note of this woman with ordinary abilities but great adaptability. Even if she didn't need it when she went to Jingguo, she might have children on the endless sea in the future. If she really went to the sea, she would definitely be indispensable.
The help of this sea guardian.
"Xiao Lu, can I ask you if Xiao Chao is still alive?" Before parting, Zhao Manyu suddenly made a request.
Lu Chuan has received such requests countless times these days, some on WeChat and some in person. Almost everyone who made the request burst into tears every time, but he could only reject them cruelly.
He is narrowing down the scope of the mission target little by little, jumping in line to verify the child's life or death or whether the child is among the 16 people will only delay the progress.
"Sorry, my ability has a limit on the number of times it can be used per day. My recent abilities have been used to determine the target location, so I really can't help you."
Lu Chuan left the People's Hotel with a heavy heart and prepared to return to the Science Department to continue working. This was also the reason why he was unwilling to have dinner with the parents of these children. It was not easy to refuse others, but every time he agreed to a meal, he basically
Always reject other people's requests.
"Lu Chuan, have you forgotten me? I'm so bored!" As Lu Chuan walked, Lin Xuanye appeared beside him, and his unreasonable voice penetrated his ears.
"Senior, I'm just about to go to work. You tried it last time and you couldn't get into the Science Department..."
"But you won't come to me after get off work! When I came here, you said you would take me to experience the customs and customs of Utopia." Lin Xuanye looked resentful, as if he was accusing Lu Chuan of being a scumbag.
Damn, I'm just being polite to you, I haven't experienced the customs and customs of Utopia myself.
