Chapter 39: Are You Free Tomorrow?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

People nowadays were basically addicted to mobile phones. Whenever they had free time, they would take out their phones to play games, chat, or read the news.

However, Liu Chuan was not addicted to his mobile phone. He seldom looked at his cell phone. He had very few hobbies and rarely played games. Even when he played games, he would play computer games.

In the past, he did not have many friends. Wang Meng was one of them. The two of them were basically inseparable and rarely chatted on the phone. Therefore, he had only treated the phone as a simple communication tool.

However, ever since he was added to a few more groups yesterday, his phone had become lively.

Liu Chuan accidentally saw his phone flashing non-stop and remembered that he had been added to two groups today.

He opened his phone and saw that there were more than 99 messages from several groups.

He opened the ‘Four-Man Suicide Squad’ chat. Then, he saw that the other three were online and were chatting.

Monkey Who Wants to Become Fat said, “Where do you think Brother Chuan has been all day? I haven’t heard from him at all today.”

In the end, the moment he opened the group chat, he saw Monkey asking where he was.

Trembling Little Cat said, “Don’t tell me he’s still sleeping. I only woke up this afternoon.” Trembling Little Cat was the foodie Wu Zhixin. As a foodie, she was also good at staying in bed.

Peppermint Candy was silent.

Peppermint Candy was naturally Lin Sisi. Even on the Internet, Lin Sisi was still very quiet.

However, Lin Sisi’s online name still surprised Liu Chuan. He didn’t expect the cold Lin Sisi to have such a cute online name.

“Forget it. Do you think Liu Chuan is a pig like you? I’m guessing that Brother Chuan has been kidnapped. Who doesn’t play with their phone every day?”

Monkey activated his taunt skill and dealt 100 points of damage to Wu Zhixin… At the same time, he started to express his own thoughts again. Of course, there was still a sense of indecency.

“Stupid Monkey, you’re the pig. Your whole family is made up of pigs!” When Wu Zhixin saw Monkey calling her a pig, she jumped up in anger. However, she couldn’t beat him up over the Internet, so she could only hit the keyboard to retaliate.

“I’m not, you are!”

“You are, you are the pig! Your whole family is made up of pigs!”

…

When Liu Chuan saw this, he felt that he really needed to burst their bubble. If he didn’t do so, they might even claim that he had been abducted by aliens. At the same time, he could make these two bickering clowns stop arguing.

“I was cultivating the whole day today and didn’t check my phone.” Liu Chuan thought for a while and typed. However, he didn’t mention the matter involving Shi Yanya, in case others misunderstood him.

Indeed, once Liu Chuan appeared, Monkey and Wu Zhixin stopped their meaningless argument.

“It can’t be. My meridians are in extreme pain after cultivating for a few hours every day. You must have done something else. Tell me the truth.” Monkey expressed deep suspicion. Who would believe that he had cultivated for an entire day?

Ordinary people would only need a few hours a day to cultivate their vitality and temper their body. Then, they would need time to rest and recover their meridians. It would also take time for the vitality needed to temper one’s body to be restored.

That was why they had time to surf the Internet together. It wasn’t that they didn’t work hard, but their bodies needed time to recover.

Only after they broke through to become martial artists could they truly cultivate for a long time.

After breaking through to become a martial artist, the next step was to nurture their spiritual sea, as well as to open up and expand the meridians in the whole body. This was similar to the opening of the conception and governor vessels in wuxia novels.

“That’s right. That’s right. Hurry up and tell me the truth. Did you run off to pick up girls?” Wu Zhixin gossiped as well. Like Monkey, she did not believe that Liu Chuan had cultivated the entire day.

Liu Chuan was indeed quite hardworking during the training camp and would cultivate whenever he had time.

However, at that time, they were all busy with their journey and didn’t have much time to cultivate, so they didn’t notice anything unusual with Liu Chuan’s cultivation.

Lin Sisi also sent an emoticon that displayed her agreement.

Liu Chuan was helpless, but it was true that he had not spent the entire day cultivating. In the end, he decided to speak the truth. He typed, “You might not believe me, but I went out for a run this morning. What do you think happened next?”

“What else could’ve happened? Did you save a damsel in distress? That’s too cliché.” Monkey complained disdainfully from the other end of the line. What era was it? Why was he still playing this game?

“You guys don’t believe me when I tell you the truth. What else can I do?” Liu Chuan added an emoticon that said, “I’m in a difficult position”.

“Tch, rather than believe that you are a hero who saved a damsel in distress, I would rather imagine you cultivating at home all day,” said Monkey.

Wu Zhixin also expressed her agreement. “That’s right, that’s right. What era is it now? How can there be a hero saving a damsel in distress?”

After all, under the governance of the Federal government, society was still relatively stable.

People like the rainbow-haired leader and his lackeys could only be considered troublemakers. They would not really commit any evil deeds. At most, they would simply seduce passing beauties. They were just a group of rebellious youths.

Liu Chuan was speechless. Indeed, no one believed the truth.

That was the way the world worked. People tended to believe only what they wanted to imagine…

At that moment, Liu Chuan felt his mobile phone vibrate again. Someone had probably sent him a private message.

Liu Chuan exited the group chat and saw that Lin Shensheng had come online.

A Cute Piggy said, “Are you there?”

Liu Chuan hurriedly replied, “Yes, what’s the matter?”

“Which school are you planning to enroll in after the martial arts examination?” Lin Shensheng directly asked him.

Liu Chuan was also stunned. What did she mean by asking him which school he wanted to enroll in?

He paused for a few seconds before replying, “Probably the Federal University. After all, it’s publicly recognized as the number one university in the entire Federation. I won’t consider other schools for now.”

“Alright, I got it. See you then.” Then, Lin Shensheng went offline.

Liu Chuan could not make heads or tails of the situation. Did she intend to meet him at the Federation University?

“Could it be that Lin Shensheng is also planning to enter the Federal University? But Lin Shensheng doesn’t look like a high school student.” Liu Chuan touched his chin and thought to himself.

Back then, when he met Lin Shensheng in the ancient ruins, the situation was rather tense.

After that, Lin Shensheng left without saying goodbye, so Liu Chuan didn’t know Lin Shensheng very well.

However, Lin Shensheng did not look like a high school student. She exuded an otherworldly aura, making her look more like a hermit who cultivated in seclusion than a modern person.

Liu Chuan didn’t think too much about it. He usually wouldn’t torture himself with things he didn’t understand. Anyway, he would ask Lin Shensheng what she meant when the time came.

However, what he didn’t know was that Lin Shensheng hadn’t been online ever since. They only met again when he started his university life.

The buzzing sound came again.

It was actually Lin Sisi who was privately messaging him. Liu Chuan opened the chat box and saw four big words from Lin Sisi.

“Are you free tomorrow?”
