Chapter 55: Soft Persimmon

Heaven and earth are my witness, he really didn't stir up any trouble this time he went out. Moreover, he was beaten black and blue by an old man who practices health preservation at the training ground for an entire day, and he drank until he had a headache tonight.

It couldn't be that when he was drunk, he dragged Wen Wen along to go and finish off that dog, Yu Hanguang, could it?

That would really be too... cough cough, oh no!

"It's not you, it's the workshop."

Ye Chun sighed and directly picked up another pair of chopsticks: "Hey, eat, eat. It's fortunate that I ran fast, otherwise, I don't know if I'd be in the mood to eat anything later... Wait, what are you looking at?!"

As she spoke, she became instantly alert, aiming her gaze at Ji Jue's phone.

On the screen, the library access software of Tianmen University still recorded Ji Jue's access history. Unexpectedly, it wasn't professional papers, but textbooks from the medical school.

Anatomy, surgery, and inside the deepest folder, there was actually bionics...

She was suddenly furious: "Ah, you're grinding again, Ji Jue!!!"

Didn't we agree that everyone would just lie flat together?!

I originally thought that after you, this grandson, added alchemy courses, you could take a break. I didn't expect that while I accompanied you to play games, watch variety shows, and eat potato chips, you were secretly reviewing behind my back and putting pressure on me, right?!

Are you even human!

"Curious, curious, just curious."

Ji Jue scratched his head, explaining awkwardly: "I just had some inspiration by chance, regarding the application of spiritual quality. I'll explain it to you later... What exactly is the trouble you mentioned?"

"You'll know in a while." Ye Chun sighed: "If things go smoothly, it will be resolved once we reach the workshop. If not... then there will be trouble."

Ji Jue didn't dare to delay. After finishing his noodles in a rush, he drove Ye Chun toward the workshop.

Only on the way, Little Niu Ma kept twitching, twisting back and forth, as if it were itchy somewhere. Kicking it twice didn't stop it. Ever since he fed it the urn yesterday, it had been like this. Could it be that it had indigestion and upset its stomach? Its outer shell was even loose and sagging.

Should he let the professor take a look at it later?

He thought idly, parked the car in the factory area, and was slightly stunned.

Just after entering the main gate, he noticed that the workshop was different from usual. The main gate was actually open, and in the parking spot, besides Professor Ye's commuter car, there was another unexpected luxury car parked there.

Guangyuan A800. Judging by the exterior, it was still a limited edition? Ordinary people usually called it the "top-tier throne," because anyone who could sit in this kind of car was basically already on a throne, high and unreachable.

One of the famous brands under Cosmic Weight. Just the pure gold logo on the front of the car cost 2.69 million, and if the car body was scratched, the original factory paint job started at 900,000.

In the past, at the auto repair shop on the mainland, Ji Jue had never even touched a luxury car with such outrageous specifications. If people sitting in this kind of car even glanced at his repair shop, it would be considered his own loss.

"Wow! This suspension is really nice."

Ji Jue suffered from occupational disease on the spot. When he bent down to peek, he almost crawled under the car.

"Alright, alright, stop looking."

Ye Chun sighed: "Just watch my lead later."

"Huh?"

Ji Jue was bewildered and helpless. Every time I watch your lead, I can't really understand it. If you roll your eyes at that time, should I immediately play dead or turn around and run?

Unfortunately, there was no time to communicate further.

Right at the entrance of the workshop, a straight figure had already walked out, looked toward them, and waved slightly.

The handsome young man revealed a gentle smile, appearing familiar: "Xiao Chun, long time no see. Master Ye said you went out, and I thought I wouldn't be able to see you this time."

"Ah, so it's Brother Lou, long time no see."

Ye Chun shook hands just as enthusiastically: "Did you come with Master Kong this time? Traveling?"

"Just helping out with some chores for the teacher."

The young man smiled subtly and didn't reveal anything. His gaze finally looked at Ji Jue, who was following behind. His gaze swept over him slightly, appearing curious, and he reached out his hand enthusiastically: "Hello, I am Lou Feng from Chaocheng. Is this Master Ye's high-ranking disciple? May I ask how to address you?"

"Ji Jue, nice to meet you."

Ji Jue was skillfully polite. He noticed that the hand he was holding seemed to pause slightly for a moment. Lou Feng was confused: "Ji Jue? Could it be the Nanya Ji clan of Liaocheng in Huangzhou? Or the Shangui Hall Ji clan of Zhongcheng?"

"... Sorry, neither."

Ji Jue understood in his heart, "Just a local from Outside Yacheng."

The Lou clan of Chaocheng, even in Outside Yacheng, this name was like thunder to the ears. After all, even looking at Haizhou, they were considered a great and powerful family, the backbone of the region.

Just like the Tong clan of Outside Yacheng or the Yu clan of Jiangcheng, calling them wealthy and imposing would be belittling their status; calling them a noble family would not be an exaggeration.

As everyone knows, the corrupt system of the Federation is different from the Empire; there are no nobles. Similarly, as everyone knows, nobles have just changed their names. Even if they exist, ordinary commoners never get to see them.

Is it possible that this young master thinks of himself as an upper-class person just like him?

Really interesting.

The Nanya Ji clan of Liaocheng, to tell the truth, he had never heard of them since he was born. They were too far away, and they couldn't be reached by any means...

It wasn't that he hadn't thought about whether he might be an orphan of some great family, especially when he was so poor he was about to die. Regrettably, every citizen of the Federation has had such a dream.

The iron-clad facts proved that he had absolutely nothing to do with any high-ranking family.

The reason he was so sure was that although his biological father died early, his family had been in Shuzhou for over ten generations and had nothing to do with Huangzhou. And his mother was a native of Haizhou, Outside Yacheng.

In the Federation, whether you are an upper-class person can be seen directly from the citizen ID number—if you didn't see it starting with 01 when you opened your eyes, there's no hope for this lifetime.

Ji Jue's starting number was already in the 90s; it would be a ghost if he could have any connection at all!

He smiled and didn't care.

On the contrary, the young master of the Lou family, after knowing that Ji Jue was just an ordinary commoner, didn't turn his face or let go, still maintaining a cold politeness, only the corners of his eyes were unconsciously a bit higher.

They would chat a few sentences from time to time.

It looked like everyone was still chatting happily.

Standing at the door chatting like this, not afraid of the sun.

In the gap, Ji Jue yawned, glancing at Ye Chun, who was smiling brightly beside him.

Where is your lead!

Ye Chun glanced at him, carrying three parts helplessness, three parts annoyance, three parts sympathy, and one part something unclear. Ji Jue didn't understand it at all, only feeling that he had looked at nothing.

You upper-class people are really annoying when you chat.

When ordinary people meet, they ask if they've eaten or where they're going, and that's it. Why do you have so many procedures?

Just at this moment, the conversation in the hall behind the door seemed to finally come to an end. Professor Ye's voice sounded from inside: "Since you're here, come in. Why do you keep standing at the door? Sunbathing?"

"Ah, my fault."

Lou Feng seemed to finally react, "Haven't seen Xiao Chun for a long time, accidentally said too much."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes."

Ji Jue nodded, feeling that you guys have absolutely no sense of participation in this play. Don't act next time.

When he entered the hall, he finally saw the guest sitting on the sofa, and his heart tightened slightly.

It was a woman who looked slightly thin and old, but she was well-maintained. Only when her long, narrow eyes looked over did he feel a slight shudder.

Although it is not appropriate to judge people by their appearance, usually when he encounters this kind of car owner in the repair shop, he will keep a few heart guards. Otherwise, after working hard to finish the job, they will either say you didn't fix it well here, or you didn't wipe it clean there, and finally, they will say your attitude is not good, did you secretly change my parts, you are not clean-handed at such a young age...

As for when he saw Professor Ye's expressionless look, he finally vaguely understood that this person was likely coming with ill intent.

"Is this Master Ye's high-ranking disciple?"

Kong Qingyan on the sofa looked over with a smile, smiling kindly: "Really unusual."

"Barely okay. Although the talent is ordinary, fortunately, he is hardworking. He has only learned for half a year, just enough to be an apprentice." Professor Ye held her teacup, took a sip, and said slowly: "He is actually better than your student, at least he doesn't pretend."

"..."

For a moment, Ji Jue's expression twitched in sync with Master Kong's expression on the sofa. As for Lou Feng's complexion behind him, he didn't even need to look; it must be very wonderful.

Professor Ye, if you can't chat, you can just say so. There's no need to kill the conversation like this and bury me along with it.

The other party is a master after all!

A master!

Can't they just crush me to death with a wave of their hand?

However, being a master after all, even if spoken to so unkindly, he still remained graceful, just smiled, and said indifferently: "Since you say so, why don't these two children have a competition, spar a bit, and consider it getting to know each other."

Ji Jue just wanted to say, we already know each other very well, no need!

What exactly are you doing? Instigating children to fight at every turn... It would be better to let me perform a show for you, and you can give some New Year's money and hurry home!

"No need for such trouble."

Professor Ye's words made Ji Jue breathe a sigh of relief, but immediately after, he heard an unceremonious voice: "If Master Kong feels that losing the bid for the Tian Tai number to me back then is something you can't let go of, you can directly challenge me.

It's been so many years, comparing this and that with me, it's fine to keep pestering me, but what's the point of letting your student come out to embarrass himself?"

As she spoke, she slowly put down the teacup and said indifferently: "Since the workshop is here and it's spacious outside, you can just say how you want to compare."

Ji Jue's eyes went black.

Damn, not letting the student fight, you're going to fight yourself? Why are you starting a fight after just a few words? Alright, alright, don't say any more, you are already very good at chatting, many big shots are already not as good as you!

"... Ye Xian!"

Kong Qingyan's smile finally stiffened on her face, as if she was trying her best to restrain her anger: "Not to mention past grievances, I consider my visit today to be polite and proper. I didn't offend you, Master Ye. Is this the way your Ye family treats guests?"

"That's why I hate being polite."

Ye Xian shook her head, not caring at all: "Clearly harboring thoughts, everyone knows it, yet still being polite back and forth, like a clown, it's really meaningless."

Kong Qingyan was furious and stood up, preparing to rebuke, but at this moment, the silent Lou Feng suddenly stepped forward. He didn't show joy or anger, remaining calm.

"Teacher, Master Ye has eyes like torches. She says I'm not a match, and I believe she wouldn't be wrong about even this."

He paused, looked at Ji Jue, and smiled enthusiastically: "It's just that I'm curious about the disparity between me and this Brother Ji... I must ask Master Ye to let me learn a thing or two!"

Damn it!

For a moment, Ji Jue was also angry.

Picking on the soft persimmon, right?!
