Chapter 443 Sudden Provocation
Gu Mengyao looked at the time. There were still two to three minutes to go before work hours began.
When she mentioned the most beautiful receptionist earlier, she stole another glance at Qin Chuan.
as
This was because Qin Chuan had hundreds of billions of contribution points. He was considered a super big customer among those of the Dao Technique Chamber.
For such huge customers, their a.s.sessment of the receptionists directly affected their annual selection.
Gu Mengyao really wanted to continue. If she could get good reviews from Qin Chuan, then everything would be fine.
After hesitating for a while, Gu Mengyao said, “Junior Brother Xiaoming, can I ask a favor of
you?”
Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment, then said solemnly, “Senior Sister, please go ahead. So long as I can help, I won’t refuse.”
Gu Mengyao took a deep breath and said, “Junior Brother, the reviews from people with high contribution points like you are crucial to our annual evaluation.
“I just want to ask that you give me a good review during then.”
Qin Chuan smiled. He had thought that it was something important.
He patted his chest. “Don’t worry, Senior Sister. I, Xiao Ming, guarantee that the most beautiful receptionist this year will definitely be Senior Sister.”
Gu Mengyao smiled faintly. “Thank you, Junior Brother.”
With Qin Chuan’s words, the pressure in Gu Mengyao’s heart suddenly eased.
She desperately needed the reward of being the most beautiful receptionist.
This was because her current realm was in the eighth cla.s.s of Mahayana, and she had been stuck in this realm for more than a hundred years.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t breakthrough, but once she reached the ninth cla.s.s of Mahayana, she would have to face the Immortal Tribulation.
Gu Mengyao did not have the confidence to transcend it, so she needed to increase her strength and buy some magical artifacts to withstand the tribulation.
These items would not fall from the sky and could only be exchanged for in the sect with contribution points.
She had saved up her contribution points for a long time. As long as she could get a reward for the most beautiful receptionist this year, she would have enough contribution points to exchange for those items.
Qin Chuan didn’t know about Gu Mengyao’s situation.
In any case, it was just a good review. There was no need to give anything.
A minute or two later, the Dao Technique Chamber began its business day.
Under Gu Mengyao’s manipulation, Qin Chuan successfully changed his unused duration to be used for the third level.
However, because the expenditure of contribution points on the third level was much higher than on the second level, Qin Chuan only had about ten days left.
Ten days was just enough time for Qin Chuan to memorize everything. “Senior Sister, I’ll get going then.”
“Mm!”
After bidding farewell to Gu Mengyao, he headed upstairs with ease.
On the third level.
After looking around, he realized that there were around the same number of books here as on the second level.
The people here were similar to those on the second level.
Just like before, he started from the first row of bookshelves.
Qin Chuan read very quickly. He was soon halfway through a book with a few hundred pages.
As he was engrossed in reading, someone suddenly patted his shoulder for a day. “Hey!” A man’s voice came from behind. It sounded hostile.
Behind Qin Chuan stood three disciples of the Luo Ding Sect.
From the embroidery on their clothes, they were all disciples of the Sword Dao office.
The interruption broke Qin Chuan’s reading rhythm.
He subconsciously turned around and saw the three disciples from the Sword Dao office behind him.
Qin Chuan had never seen these three people before. He did not have any impression of them, nor did he understand why they were patting him.
“Senior Brothers, are you looking for me?” asked Qin Chuan politely as he stood up.
The disciple on the left said, “That’s right, we’re looking for you.” “What’s your name? Which office are you from? Who’s your master?” asked the disciple on the right.
The interrogative tone in their voices made one feel especially uncomfortable.
Qin Chuan couldn’t figure it out either. He hadn’t offended anyone in the headquarters.
Although everyone did not have a good impression of him, they did not know what he looked like.
From their questions, this was confirmed.
“Senior Brothers, may I know how I offended you?” asked Qin Chuan politely.
The disciple on the left said, “You still have the cheek to say you don’t know?”
Qin Chuan shook his head and smiled bitterly. “I really don’t know.”
“You don’t know? Looks like you’re playing dumb with me.” The disciple from the Sword Dao office spoke with hostility.
Qin Chuan became a little annoyed.
The disciple in the middle shot a look at the two people beside him, signaling for them to retreat.
“Let me ask you, what’s your relations.h.i.+p with Gu Mengyao?” asked the man in the middle.
This person’s tone was much calmer than the two beside him, but he still didn’t give Qin Chuan a good feeling. He couldn’t see him as a “good person.”
When he mentioned Gu Mengyao earlier, Qin Chuan instantly understood why they were looking for him.
Given Gu Mengyao’s good looks, she must have many suitors.
This person should be one of those pursuers.
Qin Chuan felt that his relations.h.i.+p with Gu Mengyao was very pure. In other words, it was the relations.h.i.+p between a junior brother and his senior sister. Most importantly, he had only spoken to her a few times, and they weren’t particularly close.
“Senior Brother, my relations.h.i.+p with Senior Sister Gu is just that of a junior brother and senior sister.” Qin Chuan spoke the truth.
“Senior Brother Fan, he’s lying.” The person on the left immediately said, “I clearly saw him standing very close to Junior Sister Mengyao. During this time, they were chatting and laughing. They must be really close.”
The person on the right also nodded in agreement. “We all saw it. It’s definitely not fake.”
“Really?” Fan Zhibao stared at Qin Chuan, a cold glint flas.h.i.+ng across his eyes.
Qin Chuan smiled lightly. “I approached Senior Sister Gu to handle some business. Talking with her hould be alright, no?”
“That is fine, but you stood so close. You clearly have ulterior motives,” the person on the left interrupted.
This overbearing att.i.tude made Qin Chuan very unhappy.
He no longer tried to be polite and treat them nicely.
“Senior Brother, please watch your tone.
“If you speak so rashly, you might bite off your tongue. Don’t say that I didn’t warn you,” said Qin Chuan coldly.
“What do you mean by that?” The eyes of the person on the left were burning with anger. He looked like he was about to hit someone.
Fan Zhibao glared at him. “Making a move in the Dao Technique Chamber? Do you want to die?”
“Senior Brother Fan is right. I was too impulsive just now.” The person immediately became obedient. “But Senior Brother, this kid is too insensible. We must teach him a lesson.”
“You don’t have to tell me that. I know what I’m doing. You guys can leave first,” said Fan Zhibao in a low voice.
“Yes, we’ll leave immediately.”
These two did not dare to disobey Fan Zhibao’s orders and quickly walked out.
“Junior Brother, you look unfamiliar. Are you newly recruited?” asked Fan Zhibao, raising his eyebrows.
Qin Chuan casually replied, “I came from another division.”
Fan Zhibao’s expression changed. He was slightly surprised.
He knew that being able to be promoted from another branch to the headquarters meant that one was exceptionally talented.
“Then Junior Brother, you’ve known Junior Sister Gu Mengyao for a long time?
“Based on my understanding of Junior Sister Gu, although she isn’t particularly aloof. She doesn’t like to talk much to people she doesn’t know.” Fan Zhibao sized up Qin Chuan from the corner of his eyes as he spoke.
Qin Chuan was well aware of Fan Zhibao’s motive.
“Senior Brother, there are no outsiders here, so please speak freely. I still have to study, so please don’t waste my time.” Qin Chuan said seriously.
Fan Zhibao smiled. “Since Junior Brother has said so, I won’t beat around the bush.
“You might not know because you’re new here, but everyone knows that I’m wooing Junior Sister Mengyao.
“Therefore, if you are smart, please stay away from her.
“Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that nothing bad will happen to you.”
Without waiting for Qin Chuan to respond, Fan Zhibao turned around and walked to the door.
Fan Zhibao had just taken a step when he stopped. “I almost forgot one thing. My name is Fan Zhibao. I am the first disciple under Elder Chen Feng of the Sword Dao office.”
