Chapter 599: Chapter 599 Departure for Auction, Add One More Update
After Shutong’s room door closed, it remained unopened throughout the day.
Lin Mu was somewhat worried, but didn’t dare to disturb Shutong, so at night, she stood by the door alone, waiting.
That night, at one in the morning.
"Creak—" the door opened, and Lin Mu, who was at the door, immediately stood up and faced Shutong, who had just emerged.
"Lin Mu, I’m fine. I’m going to refine some things now, then head back to sleep, be good."
The word "be good" still echoed as Shutong disappeared from sight.
Lin Mu picked up her heavy sword and returned to her room.
Since she said she was fine, then naturally, all was well.
The next morning, Master Fan prepared a hearty meal early and also prepared the usual snacks for Shutong’s journey.
As the sun rose from the east, Shutong flew down from the sky and said to Master Fan on the side, "Master Fan, pack up our meals, I’ll take them with me."
"Ha Ha, Dou Dou, I’m taking you out with me, so get your stuff ready."
Upon hearing Shutong’s orders, Dou Dou and Ha Ha, without asking questions, ran off to prepare.
Ji Sisi followed Dou Dou and helped.
"Lin Mu, you are still in charge of the household. Contact me if there’s anything."
"Xia Tian, hurry up, we are leaving."
After speaking, Shutong returned to her small wooden house for a quick visit, and within less than three minutes, Ha Ha was already back in place, with Dou Dou not far behind.
Not wanting to be left out, Xia Tian, who was originally not in a rush, grabbed a fritter and stood beside the two, not wanting to fall behind.
At this moment, Shutong also came out of the small wooden house, looking at the three ready individuals and then spoke to Dou Dou, "Dou Dou, take Little Fen with you and stay close."
"Understood, auntie."
"Silver!"
Shutong called out for Silver, and the Little Silver Snake, already prepared, climbed onto Shutong’s head, once again serving as her head ornament.
"Xiao Bai!"
Upon hearing its name, the little white mouse skillfully burrowed into Shutong’s pocket, settled in, and readied to leave.
Within her Divine Sense, Shutong ordered Jing Bai, "Watch over the house."
"Understood, Master."
Jing Bai’s loyal voice reassured Shutong.
Another reason was due to the increased defenses on Blue Star now. Jing Bai, Red Crown, Iron Bull, the little monkey Jinzi, and the tiger-striped figure unlocked two days ago are another strong Pure War General.
Nine of the zodiac animals had been unlocked, with only rabbit, dragon, and horse remaining. Shutong wasn’t in a hurry, knowing they would appear when the time was right.
Once the departure group was confirmed, Shutong led them onto Shadowless, nodded at Lin Mu, and drove Shadowless, disappearing into the horizon.
This time, the Chi Family’s properties were not important; she hadn’t decided what to do yet, but she was determined to establish the silk route.
That was Shutong’s goal.
However, while driving Shadowless, Shutong couldn’t shake the feeling that she had forgotten something. What could it be?
Unable to remember, she guessed it wasn’t that important.
Meanwhile, in the first district military school far away, Fu Yunhe looked at his light computer, wondering why there’d been no message for two days?
He and Shutong had agreed to communicate every morning and evening; unless there was an emergency, they would first ask each other if it was convenient.
Of course, this was set up for Fu Yunhe’s sake, but since he hadn’t received any messages from Shutong the previous night, he sent one, which Shutong didn’t respond to.
No response meant Shutong was busy, and Fu Yunhe didn’t dare to ask more, fearing he might disturb her.
But with no news all of yesterday, he felt a bit uneasy, so during the day, he sent a message to Ha Ha, who unexpectedly ignored him.
Left with no choice, Fu Yunhe then messaged Rubble, who simply replied with one word: "Busy."
"Are you okay, the two most familiar people to him, one ignored him, the other might as well have ignored him."
The last he could do was to send a message to Elder Hua, and the result was that Elder Hua had only replied this morning, saying, "The Boss has left."
That was that, in one sentence.
Sitting at the edge of his own bed, Fu Yunhe couldn’t help but think, could he really be so unwelcome, were these people too perfunctory?
"Ah, such a strong scent of grievance!"
By the window, basking in the sun, Yangyang sighed endlessly, waving his front hooves back and forth.
Fu Yunhe gave him a faint look and said, "Don’t forget, you’re a pillow."
"Hmph!"
Yangyang snorted coldly, turned his head, and lay by the window, motionless.
A pillow then, a pillow!
Fu Yunhe withdrew his gaze and chuckled to himself, then stood up to straighten his clothes, ready to go to the school cafeteria.
He naturally had a lot of food in his Space Ring, but he went to the cafeteria every day, even if the food was awful.
One could be proud, but should not be critical of the military’s conditions; eating with the soldiers while on missions was something a Commander should exemplify.
Now, he didn’t necessarily need to blend completely with those around him, but he absolutely couldn’t let people think he was aloof, despising everything.
So, in the military school, Fu Yunhe, during his three-month training period, was not treated as anything special.
"Yangyang, I’m leaving."
"Baa—"
Fu Yunhe shrugged his shoulders in response, then opened the door and left.
Fu Yunhe, as he walked out, would greet everyone he met.
"Morning!"
"Morning."
Fu Yunhe would calmly reply, returning it with a military salute.
Thus, even though he appeared cold and unapproachable, he never lacked proper manners, making him quite respected among the students.
When he walked out of the apartment building, he happened to face Chi Yang, who was coming out from the other side.
Chi Yang now had a more sinister air about him, completely unlike his sunny disposition during exams.
The affairs of the Chi Family ultimately affected him, and there was a consensus that Chi Yang wouldn’t be staying.
The military school’s vetting process was very strict, and with such a background as Chi Yang’s, once the Chi Family was convicted, he would have to leave the school.
Chi Yang’s eyes were malevolent, as if they held a pair of hooks, almost itching to lunge forward and rip into the flesh of another.
Fu Yunhe didn’t speak first, nor did he look at Chi Yang with any scorn or ridicule; he passed by as calmly as usual.
Chi Yang, watching Fu Yunhe, the only one who didn’t look down on him, felt no gratitude in his heart; instead, he thought it was all pretense.
"Are you very pleased inside? I’m about to be thrown out, are you pleased?"
Fu Yunhe, without stopping, calmly said, "You’re not worth my attention."
That line floated into Chi Yang’s ears as Fu Yunhe already exited the doorway.
"Hahaha— Yes, where do I have the qualifications?" Chi Yang suddenly laughed.
Indeed, how could he qualify for Fu Yunhe’s mockery, with or without the Chi Family?
Chi Yang looked up to the glaring sunshine outside; nothing could surpass the figure under the beam of light.
In this era, it ultimately wasn’t his.
Just at that moment, Chi Yang’s obsession seemed to abruptly ease a bit.
It wasn’t his to begin with, so how could he lose it?
