What’s the point of cultivating immortality if you don’t have money?.

Chapter 548 Sliding on Knees (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Upon hearing Zhang Yu's words, Zhang Pianpian felt that Zhang Yu wanted to take revenge on Feng Yuhan, but she felt that doing so would not be very meaningful.

But then Zhang Yu said, "Senior, don't you think there's something wrong with Feng Yuhan? He fought the Demon Cult members all by himself. Is his combat strength really that strong? Could it be that he's been infiltrated by the Demon Cult members?"

“I’m not targeting him personally, I just feel that there might be something wrong with him, and I’m afraid he could harm Wanfa University.”

Zhang Pianpian's eyes flickered slightly. Although she felt that Zhang Yu was picking a fight to get revenge on Feng Yuhan, she had to admit that there was some truth to what Zhang Yu said.

Just as Zhang Pianpian hesitated slightly, she heard Zhang Yu sigh and say, "Sigh, if you don't want to, then forget it."

That evening, after returning to her dorm room, Yu Xinghan said, "Zhang Yu, I found the coupons you asked me to keep an eye out for. See if they're okay with them."

"Speaking of which, although your Demon Eye was high-end back then, you've been using it since your senior year of high school, almost 5 years now. It's time to replace it."

Zhang Yu said, "There are so many places where I need money. If it weren't for the current tightness in my account, I could use it for at least another year."

Hearing these words, Zhang Pianpian recalled how Zhang Yu had saved up and borrowed 150 spirit coins from her.

Thinking about the bond between siblings, and the loan repayments she had suspended for the past two months due to the economic crisis... Zhang Pianpian sighed helplessly and sent a message to Zhang Yu.

Zhang Pianpian: Okay, I'll check it for you.

……

The next day, a report appeared in front of Zhang Yu.

In addition to the basic data about Feng Yuhan, there are also various records about his solo battles against the Demon Cult.

Zhang Pianpian analyzed, "At first glance, it does seem fine, but it's just a bit...too clean."

Zhang Pianpian said thoughtfully, "Especially since the battle scene was too clean, and the various traces were too simple, just like what Feng Yuhan said."

"But even a Nascent Soul True Monarch, under the siege and fierce battle of numerous demonic cultists, could he really remember every detail so clearly and without any error?"

"The scene is exactly as he described... set up exactly as he said."

Zhang Pianpian said, "You're right, Feng Yuhan is indeed a suspect."

"But it's just a little suspicion, it's hard to prove anything."

……

Dark spirit world.

The thousand-armed, thousand-footed goddess Xi emerged from the darkness and stood in the conference room.

He looked at the hybrid of Fu Ji and Zhang Yu before him and said calmly, "Goddess Fu, what do you want with me?"

Fuki asked calmly, "Goddess Xi, what are the three most important things for us evil gods?"

Xi Shen: "What are you trying to say?"

“The first thing is safety,” Fuki continued. “The second thing is safety.”

"The third thing is still safety."

Fuki stared at Higan and said, "But what you are doing now is very unsafe."

Xi Shen twisted her thousand feet and thousand hands, and said coldly, "What do you mean?"

Fuki snorted and said, "Do you know that your people in the university town are being watched by the patrol team?"

Xi Shen was slightly taken aback and said, "Impossible. We are very careful and there is absolutely no leak."

Fuki showed a portion of Zhang Pianpian's investigation report to Xishen, then continued, "This is an internal report from the patrol team. Have you seen it clearly?"

Xi Shen's hands and feet trembled, and he looked at Fu Ji with a hint of surprise. He thought to himself, "This guy... he even has people planted inside the patrol team of Wanfa University?"

"Just how deep is this 'God of Fortune's' influence in the university town of Wanfa University?"

Many thoughts flashed through Xi Shen's mind. Recalling the report that had just appeared, she said solemnly, "They've set their sights on... Feng Yuhan? But the previous investigation was clearly over. Why is that?"

Xi Shen was clearly very concerned about why the patrol team had taken notice, as it concerned his future actions in the Wanfa University City.

Fu Ji said directly, "You should investigate thoroughly and see if this Feng Yuhan is unwilling to give up, unwilling to be controlled by you, and is deliberately causing trouble."

Xi Shen: "Impossible, he wouldn't cause trouble on his own initiative."

Fuki said, "Are you so sure? He has already become one of your followers?"

Xi Shen hesitated for a moment, but thinking of the internal documents that Fu Ji had just taken out, she said frankly, "That's right, he has become a believer, so it's impossible for him to cause trouble."

Fu Ji said, "Then let's check if Feng Yuhan has offended anyone, or if someone is trying to frame him."

She continued, "Xi Shen, I'm warning you, I've been planning Wanfa University for a long time, and I don't want you to come here and then sabotage me, causing trouble everywhere and ultimately dragging me down with you."

……

"idiot!"

In the lower levels of the Dark Spirit Realm, Xi Shen's thoughts clashed with Feng Yuhan's, and she angrily rebuked him, "Do you know that you've been targeted?"

Feng Yuhan's heart skipped a beat, and he asked nervously, "Am I being watched?"

Xi Shen: "The patrol team is investigating you. Do you have any leads?"

Seeing Feng Yuhan frowning and deep in thought, yet still unable to come up with a solution, Xi Shen snorted coldly and continued, "Find out what's going on, where exactly the problem lies, so that I don't have to remind you in the end."

Feng Yuhan naturally took this very seriously and immediately used his connections to investigate, but he couldn't find any problems.

For the next two days, Feng Yuhan was unable to find any clues, and Xi Shen was also still unsure what was wrong with Feng Yuhan.

After much deliberation, Xi Shen finally found Fu Shen, whom he considered unfathomable and whose influence was deeply entrenched within the University of Ten Thousand Laws.

In the dark spirit world.

Fu Ji said calmly, "You want me to help you investigate? You know the rules, right?"

Xi Shen chuckled and said, "Senior, I understand information trading. As long as you can find out the useful information, we can provide you with whatever you want to know."

Fu Ji said, "Report to me everyone that Feng Yuhan has been in contact with recently. Make sure you remember everyone, whether they are teachers, students, contractors, temporary workers, or even college or junior college students."

The next day, Xi Shen returned to the Dark Spirit Realm and received Fu Ji's reply. "Zhang Yu?" Hearing Fu Ji mention the name, Xi Shen asked in confusion, "Is it because of this student?"

Fu Ji continued, "Zhang Yu also has a roommate; both of them came from Songyang City on the first floor."

"My roommate's name is Zhang Pianpian."

"This is her information."

Xi Shen flipped through the documents for a while, a chill creeping into her eyes: "Just because Feng Yuhan offended Zhang Yu during his work? So Zhang Yu instigated Zhang Pianpian to investigate Feng Yuhan?"

Xi Shen never expected that all the trouble he went through would ultimately lead to the discovery that it was because of two students.

Is it really because Feng Yuhan made this student's workload increase several times over and offended him that all this happened?

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with the two students, he heard Fu Shen say, "Hmph, can't you tell? This Zhang Pianpian is no ordinary student."

Xi Shen frowned slightly, repeatedly examining the basic information, and suddenly said thoughtfully, "The Way of the Gods?"

He then used his information channels to search further and discovered that a large amount of information about Zhang Pianpian had been hidden.

At the same time, he also discovered that a student from the spellcasting department of Tianmo University, who was participating in the Top Ten League, had gone missing. This student was also a student who had embarked on the path of divinity.

Seeing Xi Shen deep in thought, Fu Ji continued, "Do you understand? This Zhang Pianpian is no ordinary person. She probably has a powerful background and should not be underestimated."

"Even if you can deal with her, it will probably come at a huge cost."

"In our line of work, the worst thing you can do is to go head-to-head with the righteous gods."

"I don't care what methods you use, let Feng Yuhan resolve the conflict with Zhang Yu, and stop Zhang Pianpian from investigating any further."

"What if they find out something else?"

Seeing that Xishen was about to leave, Fuji quickly asked, "What about the deal?"

Xi Shen asked, "What do you want to know?"

Fu Ji asked, "Why are you targeting the Nascent Soul Reincarnation?"

Xishen did not reply, but instead sent a document directly to Fuki.

Upon opening the file, both Fuki and Zhang Yu were startled.

"The Divine Lord of Jade Nectar... secretly transferred the cultivation levels of reincarnated individuals within the sect?"

……

The lower level of the Dark Spirit Realm.

Xi Shen said coldly, "It's because of Zhang Yu that someone is targeting you."

"Go and resolve the conflict with him, and stop him from keeping an eye on you."

Feng Yuhan was slightly taken aback and said, "You want me to resolve this conflict with a student?"

Xi Shen snorted coldly and said, "Get your identity straight. Besides being a teacher at Wanfa University, you are also a follower of an evil god."

"If Zhang Yu can attract the attention of the true gods, then we shouldn't offend him."

Feng Yuhan gritted his teeth and said, "But if I take the initiative to resolve the conflict with him now, won't that arouse his suspicion?"

Xi Shen: "Do I really need to teach you something this simple?"

Xi Shen angrily shouted, "Resolve this problem within a day."

……

That night, taking advantage of Zhang Yu's visit to the Magnetic Pole True Monarch's laboratory, Feng Yuhan also rushed over.

After pacing outside the laboratory for a long time, Feng Yuhan finally gritted his teeth and went inside.

Looking at Magnet Pole True Monarch and Zhang Yu in front of him, Feng Yuhan suppressed his frustration and smiled, "I know that recent events have affected the work of the laboratory."

"But I have no choice. I would never want to delay the project unless absolutely necessary."

"Especially seeing that you, True Lord Magnetism, have made repeated breakthroughs in the research on the Divine Body Transformation, our entire research department is also very excited."

"I have always applauded and supported your advancement to the Nascent Soul stage, True Lord Magnetism."

At this point, Feng Yuhan paused, a strong sense of resentment rising in his mind, until he remembered the evil god's warning.

Feng Yuhan knew that if he wanted to resolve the conflict, he absolutely could not just look for Zhang Yu, as that would easily arouse suspicion.

He could only pretend to have an opportunity to resolve the conflict with Magnetism True Lord and take the opportunity to ease the tension with Zhang Yu, even if it meant paying a greater price.

Suppressing the frustration and heartache in his mind, he gave 50 spirit coins to Magnetism True Lord and 20 spirit coins to Zhang Yu.

Then Feng Yuhan said earnestly, "This is just a small token of my apology."

"And as for your disciple, True Lord Magnetism, I will do my best to reduce his workload in other project teams."

The thought of having to work on other project teams to reduce Zhang Yu's workload made Feng Yuhan feel a pang of heartache.

The fact that he had to apologize to Magnetism Master and Zhang Yu, a student, in such a humble manner today made Feng Yuhan feel more frustrated than ever before.

Watching Feng Yuhan's departing figure, Magnetism True Monarch frowned and said, "This guy... why did he suddenly change his ways?"

Zhang Yu said, "Perhaps he has been watching your research progress recently and feels that you are on the verge of becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator, so he doesn't want to offend you too much."

Magnetism True Lord nodded slightly, finding the explanation somewhat reasonable.

In the days that followed, Zhang Yu finally had plenty of time to continue refining the prototype machine.

A few days later, Zhang Yu completed the entire Level 1 prototype.

Looking at the puppet that had opened its eyes and was slowly floating in mid-air, Zhang Yu's face showed a satisfied smile.

Just then, he asked Fukuhime a question in his mind.

"Fukihime, what exactly is Shinto? Why are you and Himeko so wary of it?"
