Chapter 617: Old Friend, Test (1)

Great Ming Cultural Research Academy.

Multiple Character Faculty.

A group of students were returning after taking a look at Big Ball when they noticed a dirty woman in their faculty. Noticing that she was looking around blankly, one of them asked curiously, "Who are you looking for? This is the cultural research academy. Are you here to..."

He couldn't bring himself to finish his words. He was about to ask if she was here to pick up garbage. Was this an actual student or had she sneaked into the academy? No matter how lax the security was, an outsider shouldn't be able to sneak in so easily, right?

Wu Lan sized the student speaking to her up before raising her head smugly. She had concluded that the student before her was very weak.

"Are you from the Multiple Character Faculty?"

"Yes."

"Where is the Source Soul Research Center?"

"Source Soul Research Center?"

The student blanked out slightly before asking, "Are you here to see Su Yu?"

"Yes."

The student sized up Wu Lan with an odd expression. Su Yu's taste sure was unique.

"Cough, cough. Where do you work?"

"What?"

"You're a working lady, right? Is this a new service your place is offering?"

"What?"

Wu Lan frowned in confusion. What was this person talking about?

"I am the leader of the Source Soul Research Center's Breakthrough Team. I'm here to see Su Yu. Do you know where he is? If you don't, never mind."

"Leader of the Breakthrough Team?"

The student smiled with an ambiguous expression and said, "Since you're insisting on your roleplay, fine. If I'm right, he's probably at Xiansheng Research Center. Tsk, tsk. Junior Su sure has a unique taste. Or should I say that those from Great Xia have unique tastes?"

With that, the student started leading the confused Wu Lan over. Along the way, they encountered a few other students. And these students joined the group as well. Why? Because there was a new show to watch.

What a surprise. Su Yu had remained silent after arriving, but the first thing he did was familiarize himself with the local brothels before ordering a unique service. This lady would probably look quite good after cleaning up. They had never tried such a unique service before.

***

A short while later, Su Yu was forced to go outside after hearing the loud noise. At first, he didn't even recognize Wu Lan. But when he saw her posture and heard her voice, he was stunned.

Wu Lan was furious. She said, "How dare you insult me!" Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates

"Nope. Am I supposed to encounter those beasts?"

For many people, the answer to that was a resounding yes.

Su Yu wanted to tell her the truth, but he decided to shut his mouth. Since she had traveled thousands of kilometers without encountering a single Skysoar beast, she was definitely under the protection of a Wu Family expert.

"Come on in. Why are you so dirty?"

"It's your fault!" Wu Lan complained, "You left without notifying me. I only found out about your departure after the fact. I had to spend a few days to complete my academy transfer procedures before leaving. I spent eight days on the road! It's not like I can find a bathroom in the wilderness!"

Eight days...

Su Yu didn't know what else he could say. As he showed her in, he asked, "Where did you sleep during the journey?"

Wu Lan smugly said, "Do you think I'll sleep at random locations? Tsk. I am well-read on topics regarding wilderness survival. I can't sleep near water. I can't lit up a bonfire at night. I can't eat raw food. I should avoid staying in the forest. I should also avoid caves. Most of the time, I'll stay the night at a spacious and dry location."

"So you have been sleeping outdoors?"

"Are you stupid? How am I supposed to reach here this fast if I waste my time sleeping in cities?"

At that moment, Wu Lan noticed the sky in the building. She looked up and said, "I thought you're staying at a shitty place. But you're actually staying in a place like this? Is this building yours?"

"Yeah. This is the new Source Soul Research Center?"

"Did you buy it?"

"Yes."

"Did you get a loan somewhere?"

"No."

The conversation ended there. After looking around, Wu Lan asked curiously, "Where are the labs?"

"Upstairs."

"Do we start our research now?"

"..."

Su Yu wanted to roll his eyes. What were they supposed to research? They had yet to make any preparations. Also, what did this girl think she was going to research? Why was she asking to start the research immediately?

Even back at Great Xia, her task only involved gathering information. Did she really think that she was a genius in research and deduction? She had actually traveled thousands of kilometers to find him.

Even Su Yu himself had taken many days to reach Tiandu from Great Xia. For Wu Lan to reach in only eight days, she had probably traveled without rest. No wonder she looked so dirty. And she had been sleeping in the wilderness. Had she even left her home alone before?

Was she not afraid when during all those nights when she was accompanied by nothing but the howls and roars of wild beasts in the wilderness? Did she not feel uncomfortable going so many days without taking a bath?

Numerous thoughts appeared in Su Yu's mind.
