She glanced at him, "You came rather quickly."
Though I, Deity Xiu, have my pride, even I can't adopt a high overlooking attitude while borrowing money from someone, "Sincerity needs to be displayed while asking for a favor."
He even ended it by appending this, "Big Sis!"
Ye Bing blushed to the ears when she heard yet she still said, "Sigh. You never change, calling out so late."
"Big Sis, did you bring the money?" In the next moment, a traitorous look was revealed.
Ye Bing said unhappily, "This Lady specially made a trip to the bank to lend money to you." Saying so, she took the money out from her purse and slipped it to Jiang Xiu.
Ordinarily, people didn't come to the grove beside the playground. However, it was coincidently outside the Student Council Room's window. Cheng Lingsu was standing near the window and it was the only thing separating her from Jiang Xiu and Ye Bing.
"Susu, what are you looking at?"
Cheng Lingsu acted in a guilty manner and nervously turned her head back, "I-I'm looking at nothing."
Feeling curious, Ouyang Qian and Li Dan walked over and saw Jiang Xiu together with Ye Bing through the window. As for Jiang Xiu, that guy was counting the money at the moment, "It's actually him. I heard people say that Ye Bing is quite close to him but I never believed it. Looks like it's true."
"Ye Bing's really stupid. How can she like Jiang Xiu? It's such a losing deal!"
Disdain covered Li Dan's face as well, "That's right. He's a poor beggar whose home runs a fruit stall and can only fight. But can people in this era eke out a living by fighting? I really feel sorry for Ye Bing."
"They have that kind of relationship?" Cheng Lingsu asked, feeling astonished.
"Yep, you didn't know?"
Cheng Lingsu shook her head, her complexion turning colors.
"I guess Ye Bing will dump Jiang Xiu sooner or later. Everyone knows about Ye Bing's family background. She's a daughter of an influential family and a genuine Ms. Perfect. Jiang Xiu doesn't suit her at all, so getting dumped is just a matter of time."
"Yeah, Ye Bing's still young now. She'll understand what's a genuine outstanding boy when she joins a university." She spoke as if she was a first-year university student.
At this time, Ye Wenchen and the others had returned.
Lin Shu was released from the hospital after three days and Ye Wenchen was hospitalized for a complete week. His handsome cheeks were still a bit swollen.
"Finally, you're back!"
Ouyang Qian and the other girls welcomed them with a smile.
The girls had visited them when they were in the hospital so they were clear about their circumstances. Hence, they weren't much concerned about the boys. In fact, they and the other girls who had gone through the bitter experience weren't willing to mention the topic of Ye Wenchen being beaten up again.
Such bad luck!
"Don't bring it up, we shall never go to that uncivilized region again." Saying so, Ye Wenchen took out an invitation, showing it off, "Invitation to the Ancient Artifacts Appreciation Expo, are you beauties interested? It's a rare opportunity."
None of the girls responded.
"All of you. You don't know which things are good. This invitation sells for a 100,000 outside. The objects being sold are rumored to be Artifacts, treasures left behind in the secular world by Divinities. They have magical effects and the grade of the auction is higher than a Jewel auction."
The girls showed interest when Ye Wenchen explained it, "Is it real or fake?"
Ye Wenchen said, "Even if you have 100,000, it isn't possible for commoners with low social status to obtain it. Do you think this kind of high grade will be a fake one?"
"Celebrities from Jiang City as well as the provincial capital will come, it's an upper-class gathering."
The eyes of the girls shone, "We definitely need to experience it then."
"Susu, what are you looking at?"
Ye Wenchen discovered that Cheng Lingsu was paying more attention to the place outside the window. He felt curious so he walked over only to see Jiang Xiu and Ye Bing together. "Isn't that Ye Bing? Why is she together with Jiang Xiu?"
He viewed Jiang Xiu as a thorn in his life and blamed all the humiliation he suffered at Entertainment City on him.
He chose to ignore Jiang Xiu because he believed that it'd be showing regard to Jiang Xiu if he made an upfront confrontation and also belittling himself.
"Susu, you want to come? A person like Jiang Xiu will never have the opportunity to attend such a gathering during his entire lifetime."
Divinities were vague beings, yet they shrouded over this entire world.
Cheng Lingsu glanced back, showing a virtuous smile, "Sure, I'll come."
"Treasures left behind by Divinities are a must-see."
According to legend, humans were descendants of the Divinities but they were abandoned and left behind. Naturally, all of these were ancient legends and there was no way to prove the existence of Gods so there was no end conclusion to this question.
As the sun set down, Jiang Xiu's and Ye Bing's tryst finally ended and both of them went their ways. Cheng Lingsu said to the others, "I'll come back soon."
"Susu, where are you going?"
After borrowing the money, Jiang Xiu made his way towards the school dorm when a beautiful silhouette appeared before his eyes. He wasn't astonished as it wasn't a strange matter to run into each other in school. His eyes turned colder. He had already signed the agreement so he didn't wish to have any involvement with Cheng Lingsu anymore.
In the past, the two of them would act as if they didn't know each other and brush past. But this time, Cheng Lingsu blocked his way. Jiang Xiu changed his direction with the intent to pass by but she blocked his way again. Jiang Xiu raised his head, "What is it?"
"You didn't see the agreement yet?"
Cheng Lingsu said, "I saw it. I didn't come to find you for that matter."
Jiang Xiu said, "Then?"
Cheng Lingsu clear eyes looked straight at Jiang Xiu. The boy before her eyes was getting further away from the impression of the boy from her memory, he was turning unfamiliar.
The previous Jiang Xiu was a good-for-nothing and exuded a sense of inferiority but the Jiang Xiu before her was full of confidence. That haughtiness was greater than Ye Wenchen's. Although she didn't know from where he got this self-confidence, there was no doubt that such a boy was attractive.
Even his appearance had transformed a bit, his face had become sharper. The gaze of the previous Jiang Xiu was pure and a bit shy but the current Jiang Xiu's gaze was quite deep. It seemed like an impenetrable deep pool.
This wasn't Cheng Lingsu's misconception. The change in his temperament was due to the change in his experiences and Jiang Xiu's appearance had changed after Divinity Awakening, so he'd unavoidably seem more and more like a God.
But no matter how he changed, Jiang Xiu was still Jiang Xiu in her eyes. He'd never be able to change as long as his parents remained the same.
Cheng Lingsu said, "I hope you can clearly see yourself."
"You and Ye Bing aren't persons of the same world!"
Jiang Xiu's voice was calm and steady, "You stopped me for this?"
Cheng Lingsu said, "Yes!"
"Ye Bing's family isn't different from mine… I hope you can wake up and don't dream of such an unrealistic thing. I hope you can clearly see yourself and think about what kind of girl suits you. You'll only hurt yourself if you try to blindly climb up the social ladder."
In other words, since Cheng Lingsu didn't like Jiang Xiu, she believed Ye Bing also wouldn't ever like him. There was also the factor of the family. Both she and Jiang Xiu weren't pressured by their parents and it was her who wanted to get rid of Jiang Xiu. But it was different for Ye Bing, she had the pressure of her parents. How could they accept such a matter of marrying off their daughter to a fruit seller?
Jiang Xiu laughed coldly, anger rising in his eyes.
"Do you think that this Deity needs your advice?"
Cheng Lingsu scowled, "Are you going to ignore my words?"
"That's all I have to say. Jiang Xiu, take care of yourself!"
Saying so, Cheng Lingsu brushed past him with a princess-like arrogance. She acted as if she was overlooking from a higher position. The slight breeze during dusk time brushed past her beautiful hair, causing a fragrance to permeate.
Her silhouette looked beautiful, seemingly making its surroundings dimmer.
Cheng Lingsu, you'll forever be unable to understand what kind of existence this Deity is.
"Hello, is this Mr. Jiang?"
Jiang Xiu said, "Who are you?" His tone was still archaic. He was habituated to it as he spoke in this manner for 3000 years and couldn't change it back in the short term. "Why are you looking for this Deity?"
The other party was excited after confirming that it was Jiang Xiu, "Mr. Jiang, it's Tang Wenchong."
"Wrong number!" He hung the call.
A text message had arrived when he had just pressed the end call button: Mr. Jiang, please forgive me for my rudeness. I'm the grandson of Tang Zhenshan, called as Tang Wenchong. You came to my aid when the car was about to fall off a cliff at Chongming Mountain, do you still remember it?
When he saw this message, Jiang Xiu remembered that there was a youth beside Tang Zhenshan at that time.
Another call arrived after a few moments, "So it's you. Why are you looking for this Deity?"
Tang Wenchong said, "It's like this. Grandfather is putting up an Artifact Identification Expo and especially wants to invite Mr. Jiang to attend it."
