Chapter 214 Learned to Bargain Oranges
When Orange was woken up by the alarm clock, she saw that the indicator light on her communication soul tool was still on. She rubbed her eyes, looked closely, and muttered to herself, "Could it be that I didn't turn off the communication either?"
"Be confident. You didn't turn it off and didn't get up until almost noon. You missed several alarms." Ye Nanxiao's voice came through the communication soul tool.
Orange blushed slightly and asked, "How long have you been listening?"
"I took a nap last night and then discovered that the messaging service was still on, and it's been running since," Ye Nanxiao said.
Orange suddenly jumped into the quilt, grabbed a pillow to cover her face, and her ears turned red at a visible speed.
"Um, I'm going to be late for Lao Xuan's class, I'm leaving now!" Orange hung up the communication device and continued rolling around on the bed.
"I'm already late." Ye Nanxiao adjusted a grenade launcher-shaped soul tool in his hand. After calculating and simulating the power on a piece of paper, Ye Nanxiao wrote the name "Bombing No. 1" on it, put away the soul tool, got up and left the stronghold, heading to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Academy.
With the pass given by Xuan Ziwen, the guards at the academy gate glanced at him and respectfully invited Ye Nanxiao in.
Since reaching a friendly deal with Xuan Ziwen, I can not only adjust class times at will, but also skip the homework that Xuan Ziwen always leaves behind. The joy of this is something that students who hand in their homework on time can never understand.
As for the progress of the courses, Ye Nanxiao had five keys to Xuan Ziwen's private villa and was not afraid that Xuan Ziwen would lock the door.
Why worry about falling behind if you're just squatting in a corner?
When Ye Nanxiao arrived at Xuan Ziwen's laboratory, Xuan Ziwen was giving a lesson to Ju Zi and Ke Ke, holding a light screen and explaining a ball.
"What is this thing? A ball?" Ye Nanxiao asked, raising his hand.
"This isn't a ball, it's called an all-terrain detection soul guide," Xuan Ziwen said, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes.
"Why are there so few people?" Ye Nanxiao asked, sitting next to Ju Zi.
Ju Zi didn't look at Ye Nanxiao; her delicate face was flushed with a faint pink, like a sweet and juicy peach.
"This is a test project, and the main testers are me and Keke," Orange replied.
"What's there to test about this ball?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
"This isn't a ball! See the window on the ball? It can carry people!" Xuan Ziwen walked up to Ye Nanxiao and pointed to the window in the all-terrain detection soul tool.
Ye Nanxiao silently sat back and nodded.
"This soul tool is one of the longest-developed soul tools I've ever developed, and it's the one that Mingde Hall and I collaborated on. Since you're here, I won't have to look for you. You and Ju Zike can test this sphere together. You have a high level of expertise in core arrays, so please take a look at this soul tool for me. I've tested over three hundred different combinations of core arrays for this big guy." Xuan Ziwen said, not realizing that he had mistakenly described the all-terrain detection soul tool as a sphere.
"Okay, I'll take a look at the ball later." Ye Nanxiao gave an OK sign.
"I already said this ball is called an All-Terrain Detection Soul Guidance Device! Be smart, this thing doesn't cost a small amount!" Xuan Ziwen emphasized again, then quickly changed the subject after realizing his slip of the tongue.
Orange and Keke covered their mouths to stop themselves from laughing as they watched Ye Nanxiao and Xuan Ziwen bickering.
"The exchange students will be arriving in two weeks. Will you be going to help with the reception?" Xuan Ziwen asked.
Upon hearing this, Ye Nanxiao realized that he had spent half a month alone in Mingdu. After a moment of silence, he shook his head.
If you can avoid moving, then don't move. It's too much trouble to go and greet them. I heard that you have to go all the way to the border of the Sun Moon Empire. That's so far. It's better to just wait at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy.
"It's fine if you don't want to go, but you didn't have a physical test when you came in, so you'll probably be reminded to do it later," Xuan Ziwen reminded him.
"Is this too much trouble? Why don't you waive it for me?" Ye Nanxiao said, trying to negotiate.
"No way, I want to see just how freakish you are." Xuan Ziwen sneered, refusing Ye Nanxiao's request.
"A super-sized family bucket of fried chicken." Ye Nanxiao stretched out his hand, palm open, and looked at Xuan Ziwen with a smile.
Xuan Ziwen sneered and said, "You don't actually think you can bribe me like this, do you?"
Keke gently tugged at Ju Zi's arm and asked, "Fried chicken? Teacher Xuan Ziwen likes this?"
Orange nodded and said, "It's specially made by Ye Nanxiao, and it's really quite delicious."
"Fifteen servings, plus my secret dipping sauce." Ye Nanxiao's eyes widened, his face full of pain.
"Give me the dipping sauce first." Xuan Ziwen smiled and held out his hand to prevent Ye Nanxiao from raising the price again.
After spending some time together, Xuan Ziwen discovered that this guy was a shrewd businessman at heart, always carrying a bamboo pole and ready to stab someone whenever he wanted.
"So, did I successfully win you over?" Ye Nanxiao asked, handing Xuan Ziwen a homemade snack dipping sauce.
"Okay, I'll go with you to go through the procedures a bit. I'll just submit your information to the Academic Affairs Office." Xuan Ziwen put away the dipping sauce, took out the light screen and continued to explain the precautions for using the ball, or rather, the all-terrain detection soul tool.
"Hey, wait a minute, I forgot to get the data for the surrounding area of Jingyang Mountain Range. Keke, come with me to get it." Xuan Ziwen put down the light screen and said to Keke.
"We're here." Keke jogged up to catch up with Xuan Ziwen.
After the two left, Orange slowly said, "Your new alias has attracted a lot of attention, so be careful."
"I'm afraid no one will come looking for trouble. It's alright, it's alright." Ye Nanxiao waved his hand, then looked at Ju Zi and asked, "How's it going on your end?"
"Not very good, but there have been some results. Those old guys from the royal family aren't very friendly. As they get older, they become more and more greedy." A hint of disgust flashed across Orange's face.
At the same time, Ju Zi was also a little troubled. Xu Tianran wanted too much, and it was not advisable to take too big a step at once.
"They're just hoping someone can shake the Crown Prince's position. We need to take it slow. If we push them too far, our plans will have to be moved up a lot, and we might end up hurting each other. Right now, we just need to take down Shangguan Wei'er's backer." Ye Nanxiao said, extending his hand to Ju Zi.
"What are you doing?" Orange asked Ye Nanxiao, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
"Would you like some fruit? I'm craving some," Ye Nanxiao said with a wink and a friendly smile.
Ju Zi rolled her eyes at Ye Nanxiao, then waved her hand and conjured a few purple-skinned oranges, tossing them to Ye Nanxiao.
"What's the Crown Prince's reaction?" Ye Nanxiao asked. Ju Zi's attack on the royal family couldn't be separated from Xu Tianran.
"He didn't say anything on the surface, but he's actually more anxious than me," Orange said with a slight sigh.
"The Crown Prince is a very sensitive person, but so far, he still trusts me a lot as his most capable subordinate," Orange said calmly.
"Given his status, it's not appropriate for him to directly target the royal family right now. He can only seize upon every mistake they make to strike. But now that I've taken action, he's naturally supporting me from the shadows."
"It seems you're making faster progress than me. Be careful then. Those old guys have lived this long, they must have used their power to amass a lot of good stuff, and they probably have a lot of ways to protect themselves," Ye Nanxiao said.
"By the way, I will create a clone and have him stay in the lab all day to provide cover for me. I will make my move in no more than three days," Ye Nanxiao said.
Orange raised an eyebrow, smiled, and stretched out her hand, rubbing her thumb and index and middle fingers back and forth.
Ye Nanxiao's expression changed drastically; he was familiar with this gesture.
"Can we discuss this?" Ye Nanxiao frowned slightly, looking at Ju Zi.
Orange thought for a moment and withdrew her middle finger.
Ye Nanxiao clutched his chest with his left hand, his face filled with sorrow, and said, "Ah, my heart aches so much!"
"Move your hand a little more to the left, your heart is on the left," Orange said with a smile.
Ye Nanxiao subtly took two steps back, moved his hand slightly to the left, and clutched his heart, asking with a sorrowful expression, "Can't we discuss this any further?"
Orange took a few steps forward, stood in front of Ye Nanxiao, put her hands behind her back, leaned forward slightly, tilted her head and smiled, and said, "No, you can't."
She loved seeing Ye Nanxiao's frustrated expression, especially the heartbroken look he gave her every time she tried to blackmail him. It was just like that black and white husky that loved to destroy things, howling with its eyes covered.
Seeing that Ju Zi refused to negotiate, Ye Nanxiao expressionlessly lowered the hand he was holding to his chest, silently took out eight silencing beads from his ring, and stuck two of them on the laboratory door.
A series of light flashed across the surface of the silencing bead, which then expanded and deformed, revealing a square camera in the center, emitting a soft electrical sound.
Orange looked on as Ye Nanxiao threw out the silencing bead with a normal expression.
"Upgraded?" She remembered that the previous set of silent beads would not expand or deform.
"I've added some interference. Since we're facing a bunch of power-hungry old guys, I'll lend you my Mingwei." Ye Nanxiao took out two large boxes from his storage ring.
The box, which was full of mechanical beauty, was as tall as half an ordinary person and a meter wide. Ye Nanxiao pressed on the crystal on the surface of the box, and the box cracked in the middle.
Then Orange opened her eyes wide and looked at the two guys who came out of the box.
"You really are a monster, you've got a soul-guided cannon and legs now," Orange said in surprise.
What Ye Nanxiao took out was the soul tool he had used to sweep through the village in the Holy Heaven Mountains—a mobile soul tool turret.
"Take this." Ye Nanxiao took out a silver bracelet and handed it to Ju Zi.
After a brief moment of surprise, Orange took the bracelet and put it on her left wrist. The bracelet automatically conformed to the lines of her hand muscles, and a crystal was embedded in it. The crystal emitted a red light after the bracelet was in place.
"Use your mental power to communicate, and you'll know how to control these two Mingwei." Ye Nanxiao walked to Ju Zi's side, looked down, and pointed to the silver-white crystal on the bracelet.
Hearing Ye Nanxiao speak, Ju Zi turned her attention away from the bracelet and looked up to see Ye Nanxiao leaning down in front of her. The two were so close that Ju Zi could even see Ye Nanxiao's eyelashes.
Not hearing a reply from Ju Zi, Ye Nanxiao looked up at her. "We were talking, why did you suddenly stop?"
The two looked into each other's eyes, and Ju Zi could clearly see her reflection in Ye Nanxiao's pupils.
"Okay, go on." Suppressing the flutter in her heart, Ju Zi looked away and glanced at the two Mingwei cameras at her feet.
Four powerful metal legs, a rectangular body, a head that can move 360 degrees, and three cannons.
With this soul tool, Ye Nanxiao might even be among the top soul masters in the empire, Ju Zi concluded.
At this moment, Ju Zi understood that Ye Nanxiao could only exist as an ally, as his talent with the soul tool was too terrifying.
"Where did you get the Ghost Soul Stone from?" Orange used her mental power to communicate with the Ghost Soul Stone on her bracelet. Soon, with a thought, two Mingwei tilted their heads and looked at Ye Nanxiao.
"This thing can't be used to be cute, hey! That's the muzzle of a Mingwei cannon! Not an eye!" Ye Nanxiao quickly moved behind Ju Zi, poked his head out from Ju Zi's shoulder, and said with a helpless expression.
