Chapter 207 - 207: Statue Theft Incident
Two days later.
“Young man, we’re here. Follow this road and you’ll reach the Eight Treasures Stronghold.”
“Have we arrived?” Ji Ruo paid the money and carried the sleeping Luo Qian out of the car. He politely said, “”Thank you, Master.”
Luo Qian had been sleeping for the past two days. Ji Ruo was also worried that her sister had appeared and affected her.
However, after observing for a while, Jiruo realized that the little guy was just dreaming. Occasionally, he would even meow and talk in his sleep, so he was no longer worried.
“You’re welcome.” “But young man, what are you doing here?” the driver asked curiously. There seems to be a plague outbreak in this village recently. It has been sealed off. You can’t enter even if you come.”
“Sealed?” Ji Ruo smiled.” I know, but it doesn’t matter. I’m a volunteer sent by the school. I’m here to help.””
The driver of the black car suddenly realized.”
Ji Ruo nodded.”
Great Xia had done a good job in quality education. The university’s ‘summer camp’ was a part of quality education.
Every summer vacation, every high school would organize students to go to the border for a ‘summer camp’. They would let the students witness it with their own eyes and experience it personally, understanding the’ responsibility ‘that the word’ martial artist ‘represented.
Was the border bitter?
Of course it was bitter.
However, it was also because of the hardships that the students had to experience it personally.
The power of a martial artist was used for protection.
“But it’s still too early…” “Isn’t there still a few months before the university summer vacation?” The driver was a little puzzled.”
“Our school is a little special.” Ji Ruo didn’t say much.
He couldn’t possibly say that he had graduated perfectly in less than two months after entering the university, right?
“Alright then.” The driver of the black car thought about it and said, “Young man, why don’t you give me a call? If you can’t enter the stockade, give me a call. I can come back to pick you up.”
“Alright.”
Watching the driver leave, Ji Xiaoxiao poked her head out of Ji Ruo’s pocket and said, “Finally gone. Old fellow, I don’t want to criticize you, but why are you so timid?”
“How can this be called being timid?”
Ji Ruo pinched Ji Xiaoxiao in annoyance.”You really didn’t do that?”
“Are you out of your mind?” Ji Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. I know what you know, and you know what I know. Think about it, do you know how to ‘telepathize’?”
“That’s true…”
Ji Ruo had originally planned to bring Chen MO along and let him take a good look at the scenery along the way.
However, after what had happened earlier, Luo Qian’s ‘dead’ sister suddenly appeared in broad daylight, which made Ji Ruo feel a little uneasy.
To be safe, Ji Ruo returned to the town and hailed a taxi.
Chen MO did not have any objections to this. He had never sat in a car before and was very happy.
“By the way, why did you suddenly come out? Aren’t you the principal?”
“I’m here to give you your graduation certificate.” “You left in a hurry and didn’t even get your diploma,” Ji Xiaoxiao said.”
“Uncle Chen MO is so anxious…” Ji Ruo scratched his head.
“Also, after I left office, Headmaster Chen talked to me and said that if you want to come to the Eight Treasures Stronghold, he will help you get a certificate. Otherwise, you won’t be able to enter.”
” What?” Chen MO was stunned.” How did that dog Zai Chen know where we were going?””
Ji Xiaoxiao said,” That map was drawn by Headmaster Chen with the help of his [Dying Fantasy]. After he took office again, everything was still there except for this map. It would be strange if he didn’t know.”
At that time, the [Dying Fantasy] didn’t conjure up much useful information.
There was only the word ‘treasure’ on that piece of paper. Based on Headmaster Chen’s understanding of you, he guessed that you would treat this as a treasure map. It just so happened that I was about to come out, so he asked me to bring my graduation certificate and pass out.”
“I’m not going, I’m not going!” Chen MO said angrily. Everything was arranged by that dog Chen Zai, it was too boring!”
“Let’s go and take a look.” “We’re here anyway,” said Ji Xiaoxiao.”
Ji Ruo nodded.” That’s right. Uncle Gu is also here. Since we’re already here, we have to meet him.”
“No!” Chen MO pulled Ji Ruo’s hair and said,””Little Ruo, let’s go!”
“Uncle Chen MO, am I still the boss of Mental Demon?” Ji Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. Are you not even going to listen to your boss?”
“I… Alright, then we’ll listen to the boss.”
Ji Ruo was speechless.
“By the way, didn’t I ask you to help take care of the class monitor and Spiced
Spicy Hot Dumpling’s friends? If you come out, what will happen to them?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll leave it all to the class monitor.””l’m your inner demon. You’re not good at management, so I’m not suitable either. I pushed all the work out!” Ji Xiaoxiao said proudly. I want to play with you guys next! ”
“Have you pushed all your work away?” “That’s great,” Ji Ruozan said.”
“That’s right, hehe.”
The Eight Treasures Stronghold was a border stronghold. Its geographical location could be said to be completely on the border.
This village couldn’t even be found on Great Xia’s online map, because no one knew when it would fall due to the beast tide.
Although there were many martial artists guarding it, the border was so long that it was impossible to guard it at all times. There were many similar places along the border.
“Stop.”
Ji Ruo followed the hard dirt road, but before he could get close to the stockade, he encountered a roadblock.
“During the lockdown period of the Eight Treasures Stronghold, outsiders are not allowed to approach.”
‘ Hello, I’m a graduate of the First Martial Arts School. Here’s a recommendation letter from the school-”
“A graduate from the First Martial Arts School?” The martial artist blocking the way was a little puzzled.”
He took the recommendation letter from Ji Ruo and read it.
A moment later, he looked at another person and said,”” Captain, it’s really a graduate from the First Martial Arts School. Headmaster Chen personally vouched for him. Captain, look…”
“He is indeed a graduate, but I’m sorry, we can’t enter the Eight Treasures Stronghold now.’”‘Since you were recommended by Headmaster Chen, you should know the current situation of the Eight Treasures Stronghold, right?” The captain said apologetically.
The new secret realm has already descended to the second stage. Some of the secret realm’s rules are gradually integrating into our world, and recently… A statue of a Martial Saint was stolen near the Eight Treasures Stronghold. The impact is quite serious. I really can’t let you in. I’m really sorry.”
“Martial Saint Statue Stolen?!”
Ji Ruo was surprised, but he also realized the seriousness of the matter. He nodded and said, “There’s no need to apologize. It’s your duty.”
“Okay, then please leave.”
“Alright.”
Ji Ruo nodded and left.
Chen MO used the black mist to form a dialog box above Ji Ruo’s head.””Bye-bye.”
The martial artists blocking the way were stunned for a moment and looked at each other.”What kind of martial art is this?”
“We can’t go in anymore. Let’s change places!”
“There are things that even a dog like Zai Chen can’t do!” Chen MO said happily.
Haha, happy.”
[The more you want to be a member, the more you want to go in!]””What Chen Zai couldn’t do, we did. Doesn’t that mean we’re better than him?” Ji Xiaoxiao said. ”
“Boss, you’re right!” “But how do we get in?” asked Chen Mo. Should he dig a tunnel and sneak in?”
“There’s no need to go through so much trouble.” Ji Ruo took out his phone and made a call.”Uncle Gu is inside.”
