CH 89.1

A villa area in Jinhai District of the capital.

While nibbling on an apple, Elder Wu came down from the second floor and bumped into a slightly chubby teenager, who asked with a smile, “Master, I heard your granddaughter is coming over later. Is that right?”

“Yeah.” Elder Wu nodded his head haughtily.

“Is your granddaughter beautiful?” The boy asked curiously.

“Damn Fatty.” Elder Wu knocked his head with a thud. “My granddaughter is a student of Imperial Capital University. She’s not the same as those of you who can only play games if you can’t study well.”

As soon as Elder Wu’s words fell, the young people in the training area of ​​the hall stopped moving, turned their heads one by one and yelled: “Master, your words are outdated ah.”

“That’s right. We call this eSports, an athletic competition that can compete for the glory of the country.”

“Exactly. There are so many people who want to play games like us but fail to do so.”

“Heh, then which of you got into college?” Elder Wu’s retort killed most of the young people.

“Isn’t it just the Imperial Capital University? Our captain is a student of the Imperial Capital University, but he has taken a break from school,” the fatty countered, then he turned his head and went to find the only college student in their team.

“What do you mean taking a break? He must have been playing too much game, failed the exam and was expelled.” Elder Wu coldly snorted.

It was already shameful that an outstanding gamer in PK was beaten by an old man. As a result, the old man even dissed them, it was unbearable. Fatty couldn’t help but turn to his captain who hadn’t spoken: “Boss, say something.”

“Train well.” The captain blurted with a high degree of coldness.

“You said it. With such skill, if you don’t practice well, you may not even be able to fight in the game.” Elder Wu gnawed on the apple and walked to the other side.

Fatty sulked. How can there be such a horrible grandpa in this world? His granddaughter must be as annoying as he is.

Hence, before Chen Yu reached the Swimming Dragon Base, her grandfather had already stirred a wave of hatred toward her. 

Half an hour later, Chen Yu knocked on the door of the Dragon Team. She looked inside and found a dozen computers, and five or six teenagers. She asked in a whisper, “Excuse me.”

“You’re Elder Wu’s granddaughter, right?” The teenager who opened the door asked.

“Mm.” Chen Yu nodded gently. “Where is my grandfather?”

After the teenager confirmed Chen Yu’s identity, he turned indoors and yelled, “Elder, your granddaughter is here.”

After saying that, he turned his head towards Chen Yu and smiled. “Come in and sit for a while. Your grandfather will come out in a moment.”

“Thank you.” Chen Yu entered the door with the teenager and sat quietly on the sofa in the living room, somewhat curiously taking a look at the training area on the other side of the room.

A few teenagers who had their heads buried in training were quietly discussing in the group.

“She’s the Old Man’s granddaughter?”

“I didn’t expect her to be so gentle and cute, ah.”

“They’re definitely not biological.”

“Not biological and definitely not brought up by the old man.”

“That’s right. How could the old man raise such a well-behaved and cute girl?”

At this time, Elder Wu moved out of the room. He was holding a bottle of juice in his hand, which he casually handed to Chen Yu. “Have you had lunch?”

“Mm.” Chen Yu asked as she unscrewed the cap, “Are all internet cafes so advanced now? They’re all open in villa areas.”

“This is not an internet cafe. This is a professional team.” Elder Wu pointed to a few teenagers who were training across the room and said, “Those are the players. They couldn’t get into college so they had to come and play games.”

“Click!” Fatty failed to control his strength and hit the keyboard hard. He was so angry he almost jumped up and cursed. It was fine if he was dissed at all times, but it was totally unacceptable in front of the girl.

“Oh.” Although Chen Yu used to be a high-achiever, she did not discriminate against low performers.

“Let’s go to the back and talk.” After Elder Wu finished speaking, he led Chen Yu inside.

No, Little Sister. Don’t go, listen to my explanation. We are not what your grandfather said. Fatty was left behind with hands helplessly outstretched.

“Train well.” The captain rolled his eyes in disgust at Fatty who was sitting next to him. “Otherwise, you can only go back to school to study.”

“…”

There was a small courtyard at the back of the villa. Usually, the team members would go there to get some air if they were tired of training. Elder Wu brought Chen Yu there, and the two of them chatted about the spiritual artifacts.

“You mean there’s a spiritual artifact in the Luoshan Sect’s premises?” Yes. The legendary Metaphysics sect that made countless people sigh in awe was the Luoshan Sect which currently had only two people left.

“Yes.” Chen Yu said, “Master Mao has found several feng shui masters and confirmed countless times that the location where the third spiritual artifact is placed is within the boundary of the Qilian Mountains.”

Chen Yu dropped by today just for this matter

Elder Wu wrinkled his brow and recalled for a while before saying, “But I have never seen a spiritual artifact inside. There are a few pieces of magic tools inside the magical barrier, but not a spiritual artifact.”

“Could it have been taken out by our sect’s ancestors?” Chen Yu guessed.

“Impossible, right?” Elder Wu shook his head. “Every magic tool brought out from within the magical barrier is recorded. I have looked through the records of all the years but found no spiritual artifact in there.”

When Chen Yu heard such a positive reply from her grandfather, she immediately had a bad feeling: “Could the information be wrong?”

“How can the information in the Book of Life and Death be wrong?” Elder Wu shook his head and denied it.

“But didn’t you say that there are no spiritual artifacts inside the magical barrier?” Chen Yu said.

“I just said I have never seen one. That doesn’t mean there’s none,” Elder Wu replied thoughtfully.

“That means it’s likely to be inside.” Chen Yu was surprised. As long as it was inside, it could always be found.

“Most likely.” Elder Wu rubbed his chin and said, “Previously, I couldn’t understand why the magical barrier in Luoshan Sect must open every decade and deliberately placed the magic tools to attract people from the Metaphysics community to come and find the treasure. It turns out that maybe our ancestors knew that there was a spiritual artifact within the magical barrier, so they wanted to find this spiritual artifact out through others.”

“Is that so?” If Elder Wu’s guess was correct, then the spiritual artifact that hadn’t been found for so many years surely wouldn’t be so easy to find by herself. But…
