The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

Although there are risks, after careful consideration, Lu Yuan decided that it was worth meeting him!

Having more friends means having more options. This other person is quite influential, and for Lu Yuan, it might be a potential avenue in the future.

Seeing that Lu Yuan agreed, the other party was obviously very happy, but unfortunately, she lived in Baize Base City.

It makes sense, considering that the two people are in the same one of the seven major base cities of the Dragon Kingdom.

However, the other party promised to come to Chongming Base City within three months, at which time they would arrange a specific meeting time with Lu Yuan.

"As expected, he's not simple."

It should be noted that the base cities are separated by vast wilderness. Although there are dedicated routes for travel, there is still a risk of encountering monsters. If one is not a martial artist, one must hire a martial artist to escort them.

Hiring martial artists is extremely expensive, but the other party can buy millions of potions without hesitation, so they are not short of money.

The key point is that even so, crossing the wilderness is still quite dangerous. The other party must be fully prepared and confident, which is not something that ordinary wealthy people can do.

There was still no clue as to who the other party was or what help they could offer Lu Yuan, so Lu Yuan simply stopped thinking about it.

Next, he continued to practice his Qi every day, constantly striving to open the third martial meridian.

Before I knew it, more than ten days had passed since I graduated from the training camp.

[Liu Yanyan: I received a notification from the club; I've been assigned to the logistics department!]

[Feng Biyu: Congratulations, Yan Yan! Logistics doesn't require combat, making it the safest position in the Starry Sky Club.]

[Liu Yanyan: Biyu, don't worry too much. Although the internal affairs staff might encounter battles, they're in the city and won't face any monsters, so they'll generally be fine.]

[Feng Biyu: Yes, I'm already thankful I wasn't assigned to fieldwork. I'm very satisfied with the office position. By the way, Qingluan, haven't you heard from me yet?]

Ye Qingluan: No.

[Liu Yanyan: No news is good news. I heard the special operations team isn't finished selecting people yet, and you've probably been chosen.]

Ye Qingluan: I hope so.

[Ye Qingluan: Lu Yuan, have you heard anything?]

[Lu Yuan: No.]

[Liu Yanyan: Then you're in trouble. Those who weren't chosen in the end basically all went to the field operations department.]

[Ye Qingluan: No way, after all, Lu Yuan ranked first in the final test, how could he possibly be selected for field operations? Maybe he was chosen by the special operations team.]

[Liu Yanyan: How could that be? He's only a first-grade martial artist, how could the special operations team possibly want him! Everyone knows what happened with that first place ranking; it doesn't count at all. Also, Qingluan, why are you always defending him!]

[Ye Qingluan: Did I...?]

[Liu Yanyan: Yes!]

[Feng Biyu: I noticed that too.]

……

"Why haven't we heard anything yet?"

Turning off his phone, Lu Yuan lay on the bed, his brows furrowing slightly.

I had already made an agreement with Zhou Buyi that once he graduated from the training camp, I would arrange for him to work at the Xingyao Group headquarters.

Given Zhou Buyi's status and position in the Starry Sky Club, this matter shouldn't be difficult.

The problem now is that Zhou Buyi arranged for Lu Yuan to frame Shen Qiubing, but Shen Qiubing escaped danger and caused Zhou Buyi and his team's plan to fail.

Lu Yuan was worried that Zhou Buyi might take his anger out on him because of this.

After all, until now, Zhou Buyi has not only failed to see him, but has also had no contact with him whatsoever.

Logically, even if the plan failed, Zhou Buyi would definitely want to know exactly what happened during the process. Outsiders cannot see the simulated scenario, meaning that Lu Yuan is the only one who knows about Shen Qiubing's situation during the process.

No matter how you look at it, Zhou Buyi should ask him a few questions.

Could it be that Zhou Buyi suspects him?

"That would be troublesome."

Holding his phone, Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should take the initiative to contact Zhou Buyi.

After all, if he doesn't make any move, it would seem like he's guilty.

In fact, Lu Yuan had already thought of his explanation.

It is said that Shen Qiubing and he were trapped in a simulated scenario. Suddenly, a bug occurred during the test, releasing a large number of high-level monsters. Just when they were facing a desperate situation, the simulation was suddenly interrupted, and they came out of it.

To completely detach oneself.

This explanation is entirely consistent with what outsiders know.

Even when it was revealed that Zhou Buyi was behind it all, Lu Yuan pretended to be oblivious, as if he hadn't expected it.

But Zhou Buyi was a cunning old fox, and who knew what he might suddenly ask, or whether he could detect any clues? So for a moment, Lu Yuan was still undecided about whether to contact Zhou Buyi or not.

"No, we can't wait any longer!"

After much deliberation, and with no further movement, Zhou Buyi was starting to suspect him and would contact him. At that point, things would become even more complicated.

Even if I'm not confident, I have no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and dialed Zhou Buyi's phone number directly.

"what?"

After a while, surprisingly, no one answered the phone.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yuan dialed again, but the result was the same.

"Is Zhou Buyi in trouble?"

After a moment's hesitation, Lu Yuan couldn't help but show a look of delight.

Someone of Zhou Buyi's status would generally not ignore a phone call.

There are two possibilities: one is that he is currently under some kind of restriction and cannot make or receive phone calls.

Secondly, although his freedom was not restricted, he was at least being watched, and in order not to give Lu Yuan any leverage, he dared not answer Lu Yuan's calls.

Either way, it's good news for Lu Yuan.

After all, regardless of Liang Hongyun's situation or the recent plot to murder Shen Qiubing, Zhou Buyi is a huge danger to Lu Yuan.

If he is eliminated, Lu Yuan will be completely relieved.

Even if Zhou Buyi isn't so easily killed—he is, after all, a Seven-Star General—we now at least know that the problem with Zhou Buyi not contacting Lu Yuan is on his end, not that he suspects Lu Yuan.

"No, there's still a problem."

In his excitement, Lu Yuan suddenly frowned.

Suppose that Zhou Buyi is now in Shen Fuyue's hands and has revealed everything about this incident. As the final executor, that is, the one who plugged in that USB drive, wouldn't Lu Yuan also be exposed?

Will Shen Fuyue and Shen Qiubing let him go then?

"Hopefully they can be reasonable."

Lu Yuan sighed. Things had come to this point, and unless he killed Zhou Buyi to silence him, he knew he couldn't keep it a secret any longer.

But with his limited strength, how could he possibly kill Zhou Buyi?

At that time, all we can hope for is that Shen Fuyue will let him go, considering that he saved Shen Qiubing in the end.

Ring ring!

Just as I was pondering this, my phone rang suddenly; it was an unfamiliar number.

How could it be such a coincidence that an unknown number would call him at this time?

Is it Zhou Buyi...?

But he couldn't avoid it in the end. Lu Yuan took a deep breath and answered the phone.

"Hello, who is this?"

"I."

"Um?"

It wasn't Zhou Buyi, but a woman, whose voice was somewhat cold.

Lu Yuan suddenly realized that it was Shen Qiubing!

It was Shen Qiubing calling.

Lu Yuan's expression suddenly changed. Why would Shen Qiubing call him? At this moment, Shen Qiubing calling him might be even more dangerous than Zhou Buyi.

Could it be that Zhou Buyi has really been "caught"?

"Instructor Shen, is this your number?"

His mind raced, but Lu Yuan feigned calmness and asked with a smile.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​contacting me?"

"This is my backup number; you can save it. I'm contacting you because I need to meet up."

Shen Qiubing didn't mince words and spoke directly.

"Tonight at nine o'clock, Sky Dome Hotel. I'll send you the room number then."
