Chapter 427 A Century of Shock for Oranges
"What do you need me for?" Lin You asked.

Ju Zi lowered her hand from her mouth and nose, a hopeful smile appearing on her face: "Lin You, in two days it will be the anniversary of our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. The academy and surrounding areas will be very lively, with many interesting activities and markets. You've been at the academy for over a year now, spending most of your time either in the lab or in seclusion. I'm afraid you haven't really experienced the true local customs and culture of Mingdu yet, have you?"

She blinked her bright eyes, with a hint of invitation in her voice: "So, I wanted to ask you, would you be interested in going out with me on the school anniversary?"

Upon hearing this, Lin You's eyes flickered slightly.

Is it the school anniversary?

He secretly calculated that there was less than a week left before the time he planned to launch a simultaneous attack on the Sun Moon Palace and the Holy Spirit Cult in coordination with the Body Sect and other forces.

He needs to get everything ready within the next week to ensure everything goes smoothly.

The school anniversary might truly be the last peaceful period for him before the storm arrives.

"Is this the last act of chic?" Lin You thought to himself with a self-deprecating smile.

Looking into Ju Zi's expectant eyes, and thinking about how this girl was walking on thin ice around Xu Tianran, having to carefully maneuver around him for survival and revenge, a smile couldn't help but rise in his heart.

Good, good, good! It's only fun when cunning men and cunning women torment each other!

However, on the surface, he remained calm and composed.

"Okay." Lin You smiled gently and stretched. "I haven't been out for a while, so I'll take this opportunity to relax."

Upon hearing Lin You's agreement, Ju Zi visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and her smile became even brighter.

She sighed inwardly.

She took the initiative to invite Lin You today, and dressed up specially, so it wasn't without purpose.

Xu Tianran is a man with a deep mind and a suspicious nature.

If he doesn't realize that his relationship with Lin You is becoming increasingly "intimate," he will probably soon begin to doubt himself.

Once Xu Tianran begins to suspect and secretly investigate her, her secret help to Lin You in investigating the true cause of the old emperor's death will most likely be exposed.

At that point, given Xu Tianran's ruthless methods, he would have absolutely no chance of survival.

She knew too many of Xu Tianran's secrets; being silenced was an inevitable outcome.

Therefore, Ju Zi had no choice but to "go all out" and try her best to present the illusion to Xu Tianran that she was trying to "win over" Lin You and had made some progress.

All of this was for survival, so that they could wait for the day when Lin You's plan would succeed.

"Great!"

Ju Zi smiled and said, "Then it's settled. I'll come find you on the morning of the school anniversary."

"Yeah." Lin You nodded.

After chatting with Lin You for a few more minutes, Ju Zi said goodbye and left.

Lin You watched her leave, the smile on his face slowly fading, his eyes becoming deep again.

"School Anniversary..."

He murmured to himself, "Fine, let this be the final peace."

……

Two days later, it will be the anniversary of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

The entire college was immersed in a sea of ​​joy.

The campus was brightly decorated and bustling with activity. Various stalls, performances, and small-scale soul-guided device exhibitions were everywhere, attracting countless students and people from all over Mingdu.

As promised, Ju Zi arrived at Lin You's dormitory.

Today, she was dressed up even more carefully, wearing a light blue long dress that accentuated her graceful figure and snow-white skin.

Her hair was styled into an elegant updo, adorned with a few small pearl hair accessories, adding to her elegance and charm. "Lin You, are you ready?"

When Ju Zi saw Lin You, her eyes lit up and she smiled brightly.

"Ah."

Lin You was still dressed in a simple yet stylish outfit, but combined with his increasingly calm and reserved temperament, he possessed a unique charm.

"I don't know where Keke went off to today, it's a rare treat to have some peace and quiet." Ju Zi said as she walked naturally beside Lin You, and the two of them walked out of the dormitory together.

The streets outside the college were already packed with people, and the sounds of vendors hawking their wares and laughter filled the air.

Orange was clearly very familiar with the place, pulling Lin You through the crowd, sometimes pointing out an interesting stall, sometimes introducing him to the unique snacks and customs of Mingdu.

Lin You also relaxed for once, with a faint smile on his face, listening to Ju Zi's introduction, and occasionally showing some interest in some of the novel soul-guided creations.

The two strolled around for a long time, tasting many local snacks and watching some interesting performances.

As the sun sets, the evening glow paints the sky red, and the streets, bustling all day, gradually return to a state of tranquility.

They walked side by side on the way back to the college without saying a word.

Orange lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought, her fair cheeks flushed slightly in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Lin You gazed calmly into the distance, but in his mind he was silently rehearsing the upcoming plan, considering every detail and every possible change.

"call……"

Orange gently exhaled, as if trying to release the pent-up emotions in her heart.

She turned to look at Lin You and saw that he also looked thoughtful, so she couldn't help but chuckle: "What's wrong, Lin You? You seem to have something on your mind."

Upon hearing this, Lin You withdrew his gaze, looked at Ju Zi, and smiled slightly: "Aren't you the same?"

Orange rolled her eyes at him for teasing her, but the worry between her brows seemed to have really dissipated a little.

She was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Lin You, how about... we all tell each other our troubles? Maybe, after we tell each other, none of us will have any more troubles?"

Her voice was soft, carrying a hint of probing and a touch of inexplicable expectation.

Lin You looked at her; Ju Zi's eyes were clear, yet carried a hint of subtle complexity.

He was silent.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Ju Zi felt a little disappointed and was about to say something to ease the atmosphere.

Lin You suddenly laughed, a laugh that carried a hint of relief, but also a strange meaning.

“Sure,” he said readily.

The two fell silent again, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing softly in the quiet street.

The last rays of the setting sun are about to disappear below the horizon.

Suddenly, the two stopped almost simultaneously and looked at each other.

Then, almost at the same moment, they spoke in unison:
"I'm going to bomb the palace." Lin You's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable resolve.

"I am His Highness the Crown Prince's subordinate." Ju Zi's voice was slightly hoarse, carrying a hint of helplessness and composure.

As soon as the words were spoken, the air seemed to freeze.

The two fell into a deathly silence once again, staring at each other with complex and unfathomable emotions in their eyes.

Then, as if she had clearly heard what Lin You said, Ju Zi's pupils widened instantly!

"what?"
