The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

Squeak!

Just as Su Tiantian was about to turn and leave, the door in front of her opened again, and she couldn't help but show a happy expression.

But then he frowned, deliberately feigning anger, and snorted softly.

"Lu Yuan! You've already angered me. Even if you apologize to me now, I won't forgive you. Even if you invite me in, I won't go in."

"idiot."

Lu Yuan gave Su Tiantian a cold laugh and looked towards the elevator.

The elevator doors opened quickly, and Shen Qiubing stepped out.

"Instructor Shen!"

Upon seeing Shen Qiubing, Su Tiantian couldn't help but stiffen, and just like in the training camp, she quickly greeted him.

This is not just a matter of habit, but also stems from fear of Shen Qiubing!

Shen Qiubing is an Eight-Meridian Martial Artist, whose cultivation and strength far surpass Su Tiantian's.

Most importantly, she also has a powerful background that Su Tiantian can't match, powerful enough to use force to imprison the entire training camp.

What are you doing here?

Shen Qiubing frowned as she glanced at Su Tiantian.

"I……"

"Ignore her, come in."

Lu Yuan interrupted Su Tiantian and said something to Shen Qiubing.

Shen Qiubing nodded and stepped into the house.

Bang~!

With a muffled thud, the door closed again.

Su Tiantian was filled with shame and indignation, and couldn't help but wonder, what was Shen Qiubing's identity, and why was she at Lu Yuan's residence?

And judging from their appearance, they seem to be very close.

"...That's impossible!"

Su Tiantian suddenly opened her eyes wide, then shook her head again.

How could Shen Qiubing possibly be interested in Lu Yuan!

She kicked Lu Yuan away like trash because Lu Yuan was indeed trash, not because she was blind!

Glancing at the closed door, Su Tiantian gritted her teeth and left in a huff.

"Please sit down."

In the living room, Lu Yuan handed Shen Qiubing a bottle of water.

"Sorry, I don't have coffee here."

"Drinking water is fine."

Shen Qiubing didn't mind and spoke up.

"Congratulations on successfully joining the Special Operations Team."

"I have to thank Instructor Shen for this."

Lu Yuan sighed, looking rather helpless.

If it weren't for Shen Qiubing's intervention, he would probably be sitting in his office at Xingyao Group's headquarters right now, instead of being left in the jungle to live like a wild man for a few days.

Of course, at present, the welfare benefits at Xingyao Group headquarters are far from comparable to those of the Special Operations Team.

However, Lu Yuan still believes that in the long run, pursuing pharmaceutical research is far more promising, safer, and more comfortable than being a professional martial artist.

But what's done is done, and there's no point in thinking about it anymore.

He decided not to say anything more, sat down opposite Shen Qiubing, and asked directly.

"You suddenly came here, have you investigated thoroughly? I really didn't mean to harm you."

"Hmph, how do you investigate? Just go ask Zhou Buyi."

Shen Qiubing snorted coldly, and seeing Lu Yuan's embarrassed expression, she continued.

"However, there is currently no evidence to suggest that you intended to harm me."

"So, we... should we presume innocence?"

"Dream on! You're the one who plugged that USB drive in; it almost made me lose consciousness. Anyway, you owe me!"

"I really didn't mean to hurt you. Think about it, we have no grudges against each other..."

"Alright, I didn't come here today to hear your explanations."

Shen Qiubing interrupted Lu Yuan directly and said in a deep voice.

"I'm here to remind you that Zhou Buyi has come out."

"You're out? What do you mean?"

Lu Yuan looked at Shen Qiubing and tentatively asked a question.

"That's exactly what you mean."

Shen Qiubing gave a soft snort, her gaze suddenly turning icy cold.

"Since he dared to harm me, he should be prepared for retaliation! Unfortunately, due to Dugu Chongxiao's intervention, he was only placed under house arrest for a period of time and was not killed."

"Dugu Chongxiao? That name sounds familiar."

"You've only just joined, but you should have at least heard of the vice-director of the guild."

"Deputy Director!"

Lu Yuan's eyes widened. That's right, Dugu Chongxiao was indeed the deputy director of the Starry Sky Hall.

In other words, the person behind Zhou Buyi is Dugu Chongxiao!

After a while, Lu Yuan came to his senses and nodded. Zhou Buyi was a Seven-Star General, and the person who could command him must be at the top of the guild.

The deputy curator is certainly a very important position.

Knowing this, Lu Yuan felt another headache coming on. How was he, such a minor character, any different from an ant caught in a whirlpool, getting involved in a struggle of this magnitude?

"Your grandfather is an elder of the guild, and Dugu Chongxiao is the deputy head. Shouldn't they rely on each other? Why are they targeting your grandfather?"

While suffering from a headache, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel curious.

"Of course, it's for the position of museum director."

Seeing Lu Yuan's surprised expression again, Shen Qiubing knew he had misunderstood and quickly explained.

"My grandfather is old and has no interest in the position of headmaster. It is Dugu Chongxiao who is unwilling to be just a deputy headmaster and wants to seize power."

"Usurping the authority of the museum owner?"

Lu Yuan frowned, puzzled again.

"The deputy wants to usurp the power of the principal. What gives him the right? Could it be that the master..."

"That's right, the master did run into some trouble, which made Dugu Chongxiao think there was an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Shen Qiubing nodded and continued.

"This is confidential and shouldn't be disclosed to others casually, but since you've already..."

"Stop! Since it's classified, don't tell me!"

Lu Yuan quickly interrupted Shen Qiubing. He understood a saying: the less you know, the longer you live.

This level of secrecy is not something someone in his position should know; he is aware of his limitations.

However, Lu Yuan also roughly knew the details of the matter.

Shen Fuyue is the master's man, and Dugu Chongxiao wants to seize power, so he must get rid of him first.

As a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, Shen Fuyue was not so easy to deal with, which is why Dugu Chongxiao wanted to use Shen Qiubing as a hostage.

Who would have thought that the key to determining the fate of the Starry Sky Club would ultimately lie with Lu Yuan?

Dugu Chongxiao probably never dreamed that it was because of Lu Yuan that his plan would fail at the last minute.

"That's the situation. Now that Zhou Buyi has regained his freedom, he will definitely investigate this matter in order to give Dugu Chongxiao an explanation. You will definitely not be able to avoid it then."

"Well, I've already thought of the specific explanation, and it shouldn't have any flaws. The key is whether Zhou Buyi will believe it."

Lu Yuan nodded, his expression serious.

Zhou Buyi is a cunning old fox. No matter how convincing Lu Yuan's explanation is, as long as Zhou Buyi still harbors a sliver of suspicion, Lu Yuan will be in danger.

As the saying goes, it's better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!

Fortunately, Lu Yuan has now joined the special operations team, and his status is different, so Zhou Buyi has to be more cautious.

"Wait! Since you know Zhou Buyi is out, why did you come directly to me? Isn't that just making Zhou Buyi more suspicious?"

"That seems to be the case; it was my oversight."

Seeing Lu Yuan's anxious expression, Shen Qiubing chuckled, then resumed her icy demeanor.

"Don't worry, I have a legitimate reason. I'm here to invite you to participate in a mission as a member of the special operations team!"

"Special operations team members?"

Lu Yuan looked at Shen Qiubing and his eyes widened suddenly.

"You're in the special operations team too!"
