Volume 1 Beginning of Summer Chapter 57: Testing
After Yang Xuan woke up, she took a photo of herself and posted it on Weibo as soon as she got her phone to let those who cared about her know that she was safe.
Jiang You paid special attention to her.
A notification that Yang Xuan had posted a Weibo popped up on the phone screen.
"That monk was quite impressive," Jiang You said as he opened his Weibo account. "He woke up so quickly and looks pretty good ."
He liked the post and retweeted it with several flower and heart emojis.
Yang Xuan saw a familiar account in the comment section - Recalling the Abs Flower Farmer.
Jiang You’s account.
She touched her cheek, opened WeChat, accepted Jiang You's friend request, and sent him a red envelope of 200 yuan.
The next second, she saw Jiang You receive her red envelope.
And I saw a line of text sent by Jiang You: Welcome to visit us again next time.
She will never come again!
She hesitated for a moment and didn't delete the friend.
Tang Butian introduced Hong Zhen to Jiang You and said, "Master Hong Zhen has a very good understanding, and the Buddhist community has high expectations of him."
"Then when I go to get my little unicorn, I'll ask him to buy a few more amulets."
"Do you want to go see her?" Tang Butian asked.
Jiang You turned his eyes away from the phone screen and looked into Tang Butian's eyes. "Is it really possible to not have to think about anything in the mountains?"
Tang Butian did not avoid Jiang You's scrutiny, "As long as I have the resources, I can do it."
"What level of resources?" Jiang You asked.
Tang Butian hesitated for a moment, then she answered, "Heavenly materials and earthly treasures."
"Is it enough to fill you up?"
Tang Butian lowered his eyes slightly.
"By the way, has Jiang Mo been discharged from the hospital? He is also in Liuming."
"Probably not yet, do you want to go see him?"
"Yes, anyway, I was the one who sent him back."
Tang Butian took out her phone and tapped on the screen with her slender white fingers. After a few minutes, she said, "She has been transferred to the general ward. You can visit her anytime."
Jiang You looked down at the oil stains on his T-shirt and said, "Okay, I'm full so I can take a walk. I'll go upstairs and change my clothes. You want to come with me?"
"Okay." Tang Butian agreed.
She watched Jiang You walk to the stairs, and she heard him ask, "We have reached a preliminary cooperation intention, right?"
The lights in the room seemed to light up all of a sudden.
She said, “Yes.”
Jiang You changed into a red and black striped T-shirt. After going downstairs, he went to the kitchen to get a Lock & Lock box and put the leftover pork trotters in it. After closing the lid, he put the box into his shoulder bag and hung the bag on his shoulder.
He walked to the door and found Tang Butian still sitting at the long table, seemingly thinking about something.
He waved at her, "Let's go, what are you doing?"
"I was thinking about what you said."
"What?"
"A bait tailor-made for me."
Jiang Youzou returned to Tang Butian and looked her up and down. "According to your conditions, it needs to be tailor-made. At least it has to be a handsome young man or a domineering CEO type."
"What do you mean?" Tang Butian raised her head slightly and looked at Jiang You.
"Who would be so crazy as to order a middle-aged fat otaku just for you?"
Tang Butian looked at Jiang You's belly, then at his round face, and she agreed: "Indeed not."
"Hey, are you discriminating against me with this look?"
Tang Butian pursed her lips and said, "No."
She stood up, raised her legs, stepped forward and walked quickly out of the store.
Jiang You followed her, locked the door, and turned around to see Tang Butian walking to the pomegranate tree.
"Next time you come, the swing will probably be installed."
"I am the strongest of this generation." Tang Butian turned around. There was a dark light in her eyes.
"Then how did you fail?"
“They adjusted the assessment rules.”
"You didn't complain?"
“At that time,” the girl’s voice gradually became lower, “At that time I thought I didn’t do well enough.”
Jiang You walked to Tang Butian and said, "It's not bad to go down the mountain."
"I want to take back what belongs to me."
"How are you going to get it back?"
"With the help of Teke."
"How stupid." Jiang You sighed.
"What?"
The night wind blew the girl's hair.
"Come on, let's sit down and talk," Jiang You glanced at her and walked towards the rest area in the east.
Tang Butian hesitated for a moment and followed him.
"This is a trap tailor-made for you," Jiang You slumped down in the soft chair, "You don't try to figure out why they want to get you down the mountain. You only want to get back up there. You're hopelessly stupid. If they can get you out once, they can get you out a second time. Don't you understand?"
The wooden sword flew out of Tang Butian's hand, and the tip of the sword pointed at the center of Jiang You's eyebrows.
Jiang You looked at Tang Butian and asked, "How many years will you stay at the foot of the mountain?"
"Five years."
"You have to study and take care of the special operations department. How much time do you have left to practice?"
“Time is not an issue.”
“Resources?”
Tang Butian nodded slightly.
"Then you have wasted these five years. When you go up the mountain again, will you still be the strongest?"
Tang Butian fell silent. She sat down on another soft chair and the wooden sword flew back into her hand.
After a long while, she said, "Teke. They must also compromise with Teke."
"It is a compromise with the Chinese government."
"right."
"Xia Xia helped you skip the trap on the first level," Jiang You reached into his bag and rummaged through it. He grabbed a few fruit candies and threw one to Tang Butian. He then tore open the wrapping paper. "If it weren't for her, you might have stayed in your room practicing for the past five years since you came down the mountain, except for things you had to do."
"That's what I originally planned." Tang Butian admitted.
"Because of Xia Xia, you started to study seriously and work. You interacted with people more and discovered their intentions and the true relationship between the government and practitioners like you."
"right."
"So you hope that in five years, the Special Operations Department will help you put pressure on them so that they will have to give you the resources?"
"right."
Jiang You noticed Tang Butian’s tense back.
He sat up a little straighter, "This is the second trap."
Tang Butian turned her head away, "I don't understand."
"You are a sword cultivator, which, as I understand it, is a humanoid nuclear weapon. You are not very good at subduing demons, praying for blessings and exorcising spirits, right?"
"I can learn, but learning too many things will affect my foundation."
"Is that it? You realize the value of the Special Operations Department, but they don't? When you decide to work hard, you will face the question of whether to learn more unconventional skills or consult professionals on everything. Learning more unconventional skills will affect your foundation. In five years, even with the pressure from the Special Operations Department, you will still be defeated. If you consult 'professional personnel', you will appear to be useless. In five years, no one will help you fight against the people on the mountain."
Tang Butian tore open the candy wrapper, and the sweet taste spread on her tongue. "Then what should I do?"
