This world of practice is not normal

Chapter 221 Growing Pains

Jiang Tao and Li Qian went back to the room to change clothes and prepared to go out, while Lu Chuan and Huo Changge took the opportunity to escape back to the room.

Jiang Mo also followed with two kittens, looking at Lu Chuan worriedly.

Pingping and An'an returned to the familiar old place, quickly found their own stronghold, and started playing.

"Don't worry, since Uncle Jiang said he won't go, he must have made a decision in his heart, besides, Aunt Li is still here." Lu Chuan comforted.

Jiang Mo nodded, "I heard Senior Brother Lu, you're going to go out again in a while?"

"Well, I should go to Jingguo for a business trip. I have more important work." Lu Chuan turned to pour water in the kitchen, and motioned Jiang Mo to sit in the living room.

"Several uncles and aunts I have never met came here yesterday. They talked a lot at home, and finally realized that they just wanted to meet you." Call him Boss Lu. "Will you come back as soon as last time?"

"I don't know yet. If the work goes well, it will be faster. But this job has a strong continuity, and it may be that there will be frequent business trips in the future." Lu Chuan smiled and handed water to Jiang Mo and Huo Changge. "Is **Pinghe An'an still obedient?"

"They are very good, even if I have to go to school during the day, I feel that they are quite pitiful when they are locked up at home." Jiang Mo waved to An'an, and the kitten turned around when Lu Chuan called its name, and jumped up In Jiang Mo's arms.

"However, some students suddenly became very strange. I heard some people secretly say bad things about me several times." Jiang Mo lowered his head and touched An An, and said with some disappointment.

When she returned to the class after her birthday, many students became strange, often talking about her secretly and spreading unrealistic rumors, which made her very confused. She had never met a After this situation, I don't know what I did wrong.

Lu Chuan was slightly taken aback, realizing that Jiang Mo encountered something that often happened in the school days. Girls who are too good are isolated in the class, which can be regarded as a form of campus 80s.

Although Jiang Mo was beautiful and a practitioner when she first came here, her academic performance was poor and she had no airs. The students liked her very much because she was an excellent person with obvious shortcomings.

But now she has made up for her shortcomings, and her academic performance is so good that her peers can't match it, which makes people feel distanced and jealous of her.

"Don't be sad, your excellence will naturally create pressure on your peers around you. Some people will feel jealous because of this, and thus reject you or even want to isolate you. It's not your fault." Lu Chuan comforted with a smile said, rubbing Jiang Mo's head.

"If you are very concerned, you can directly ask the other party what they think. We have done nothing wrong, so don't worry, and we are practitioners, so you don't have to worry about the other party's excessive behavior or grouping together to bully you.

If you don’t care about it, just ignore it. You can take the senior high school entrance examination in the second half of the year. If it goes well, you will go to high school and go to school with your peers. At that time, you will have new and better classmates and partners. "

"But I thought we were good friends." Jiang Mo understood Lu Chuan's explanation, but was still a little disappointed.

"In fact, everyone's life is that the further you go, the fewer friends you have. As you go to a new environment, you will gradually lose contact with people in the previous environment, and the relationship will gradually fade away, but I will tell you the truth of these adults. You, you have to experience it slowly in your own life."

"Tch, you're only one year older than me." Jiang Mo said angrily, feeling that Lu Chuan was old-fashioned.

But I have traveled through time, I have lived many years longer than you, Lu Chuan thought to himself, and put a sip of water into his mouth.

When I am busy, I often forget that my body is only in my early 16s. Report it, Utopia, you employ child labor!
Huo Changge looked at the two sitting side by side on the sofa with some doubts, each of them was talking with a cat in their arms, and he always felt that he was superfluous.

It was obviously a living room for three people.
"Qian Liu." Jiang Tao recognized the figure standing under the street lamp looking at the mobile phone at a glance. Qian Liu is not only the personal guard of the city lord's mansion, but also studied in Beining College. How could he not recognize him.

Qian Liu raised his head in disbelief when he heard the voice, and when he saw Jiang Tao and Li Qian, he fell to his knees with a plop, and cried, "Dean Jiang!"

Although he already knew from Wu Bing that Jiang Tao was not dead, and the purpose of his trip was to find him, but when he really saw Jiang Tao, he still felt a sense of collapse of faith.

"Get up first, find a place to talk." Jiang Tao was also a little moved, and Li Qian held his hand in a timely manner, giving him support and comfort.

The three found a barbecue restaurant that was still open and sat down. It was almost midnight at this time, and the three of them were the only customers in the store.

Qian Liu also cleared up his mood, he still has the task entrusted to him by Wu Bing, so he can't act emotionally.

After the store served the food, Jiang Tao set up a soundproof barrier, and then asked how Qian Liu appeared in Utopia.

He told Jiang Tao and Li Qian how their group escaped from Beining City, and they came to Dingxi City after going through difficulties and obstacles along the way.

They met Huo Changge, Huo Changge ran away, they met Lu Chuan, and Lu Chuan also ran away, so Wu Bing sent him to join Utopia, so that he could come to Utopia to find Jiang Tao.

"Principal Jiang, this is something that the city lord left for Shao Bing and miss. He only left a sentence, telling them to come to Utopia to find you." Qian Liu took out a small jade gun from the storage ring, Hold it in front of Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao stared blankly at the small gun. As a magic weapon, it contained very weak energy, because it was also a gift from Jiang Tao to Wu Qing when his own strength was still very weak.

"Xiao Qian, Xiao Bing and Hui Ning, as the royal family of the Wu Kingdom, probably won't come to Utopia. Wu Qing and us have been close friends for many years. Now that Xiao Bing and Hui Ning have something to do, we will definitely not ignore it. Xiao Bing asked you to come here. Did you say you need our help?"

Li Qian took the conversation, wanting to take the initiative in the conversation, she focused on helping Wu Bing and Wu Huining, avoiding the most troublesome Wu Qing.

"Dean Jiang, the city lord is still alive." Qian Liu remembered what Wu Bing told him. After arriving in Utopia, he only asked Jiang Tao. Only Jiang Tao could help Wu Qing.

"We know that Wu Qing is being held in Jingguo, but we have no way to save him." Li Qian said coldly, Wu Bing and Qian Liu obviously knew Jiang Tao's character, and wanted to use this weakness to force him.

Jiang Tao's heart softened a little, and he became indecisive. He and Wu Qing are indeed close comrades-in-arms brothers, but this is not the reason why they can force Jiang Tao to die in Jingguo.

"Dean Jiang, please, only you can save the city lord."

"Xiaoqian, you are mistaken. We can't save Wu Qing, and Wu Qing may not be in trouble. Wu Guo may win in the northern battlefield, and Jing Guo may negotiate peace with Wu Guo. As the captured royal family, Wu Qing, Likely to be rescued.

Xiao Bing and Hui Ning were grown up by us. If they need help, our husband and wife will never stand by. But if Xiao Bing wants us to go to Jingguo to save Wuqing, please forgive us for being helpless. "

After accepting the dinner invitation from the Ministry of Military Affairs, Lu Chuan also gave up struggling, and it was difficult for him to refuse many people's invitations, such as Li Huaijin, who had helped him a lot before.

Lu Chuan is a person who remembers kindness. When he was still in the weak state of Wu, Li Huaijin shared a lot of useful information with him, gave him shopping discounts, and stuffed gifts in the newcomer gift bag. These help may be of great help to her. It was all a matter of convenience, but it was still very important to Lu Chuan at that time.

Li Huaijin was not married yet, so of course she was helping others. When the two met, the person who asked Li Huaijin to help with the conversation had not yet arrived. Li Huaijin joked with Lu Chuan with a smile. Don't forget about wealth and honor, but she didn't expect Lu Chuan to become rich so quickly.

"Don't laugh at me, I've been worrying for a while now. By the way, has Utopia ever had such a sought-after task before? How did they select people? I don't dare to do it at the job fair now. They are all famous. Character, if I brush it off, I won't offend anyone."

"How come, if you can get your child back, it's too late for everyone to thank you. Speaking of which, your information ability is so powerful, have you considered providing external services in the future? I can help you as an agent!"

Li Huaijin is very keen on business opportunities. Since Lu Chuan can only be responsible for it personally, there is a high probability that his ability will not be able to make talismans. Information-related abilities are also very rare in Utopia, and they are very useful, so they will definitely be very popular.

Lu Chuan smiled wryly and said, "Minister Jin also wanted to order a bunch of information from me yesterday on behalf of the Ministry of Military Affairs, but I didn't dare to agree to it. For the time being, it is estimated that it will not be used by civilians. If the situation is more comfortable in the future, I will definitely look for you first."

"Wow, Crab! That's settled, Boss Lu." A happy smile appeared on Li Huaijin's face.

"Let me tell you, who is the person who asked you today?" Lu Chuan felt a little strange, it was really rare for someone to be late for dinner.

"A sister who has helped me a lot, she works far away, please take care of me."

While Li Huaijin was talking, the door of the box was suddenly pushed open, and a lady with big yellow wavy hair rushed in.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting." The lady bowed repeatedly as soon as she came in. Lu Chuan and Li Huaijin quickly stood up and said it's okay, and they didn't come for long.

"Lu Chuan, let me introduce you. This sister is Zhao Manyu, who is the sea guardian of our Utopia. She usually works either on business trips or at the beach, so she came here a little further today."

"Sea guard?" Lu Chuan heard a strange word, and immediately thought of the Blue Star's ranger, wondering if it was to protect the marine ecological environment?

After chatting for a few words, Lu Chuan realized that the full name of the so-called Sea Guardian is the Sea Area Security Protector, who is mainly responsible for dealing with some sea beasts that intend to invade Utopia, and occasionally escorts trading ships between Jingguo and Utopia.

Zhao Manyu's special ability is ordinary water control, but it doesn't require any energy consumption, so the endless sea is her absolute home field, and she can often fight a bunch of sea beasts alone.

Li Huaijin said that Zhao Manyu helped her a lot, and she was rescued once when she was on the way to Jingguo to run the sea trade in the early years. The two formed a friendship and found that they shared similar interests, and gradually developed to be sisters.

Zhao Manyu didn't know that Li Huaijin was very close to Lu Chuan, but it was Li Huaijin who took the initiative to pull the line because she knew that Lu Chuan missed her child very much.

"If you want to go to Jingguo, Sister Manyu is quite suitable. She often runs on both sides of Utopia Jingguo. She has been to many states and counties in Jingguo. Whether it is by the water or by the river, her ability is very good. It is very useful, and the ability to control water can not only be used in combat, but also can play unexpected effects in many special situations."

Zhao Manyu didn't talk much, but Li Huaijin kept on recommending. She introduced people with the same care as she introduced products, as if she wanted to say "OMG! Choose her!" to Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan also silently took note of this lady with ordinary abilities but great applicability. Even if she didn't need it when she went to Jingguo, there might be children in the endless sea in the future. If she really wants to go to sea, she must be indispensable. With the help of this sea guardian.

"Xiao Lu, can I ask you if Xiao Chao is still alive?" Before parting, Zhao Manyu suddenly made a request.

Lu Chuan has received such requests countless times these days, some on WeChat, some in person, and every time the person making the request is almost in tears, but he can only ruthlessly refuse.

He is narrowing down the scope of the task goal little by little, jumping in line to verify the child's life or death or whether the child is among the 16 people, it will only delay the progress.

"Sorry, my ability has a limit on the number of times I can use it every day. The most recent ability is used to determine the target position. I really can't help you."

Lu Chuan left the People's Restaurant with a heavy heart, and was about to go back to the Ministry of Science to continue working. This was also the reason why he was unwilling to eat with the parents of these children. It was not easy to refuse others, but every time he promised to eat, basically Always reject other people's requests.

"Lu Chuan, did you forget about me? I'm so boring!" As Lu Chuan walked, Lin Xuanye appeared beside him, and his unreasonable voice entered his ears.

"Senior, I'm going to work, you tried last time, you can't get in the Science Department"

"But you won't look for me after get off work! When I came, you said you would take me to experience the customs and customs of Utopia." Lin Xuanye's resentful look seemed to accuse Lu Chuan of being a scumbag.

Damn, I'm just being polite to you so casually, I haven't experienced the customs of Utopia myself.

"Senior, in fact, I was going to find you today. I am preparing to form a team to retrieve the transmigrated consciousness. Do you have any requirements for the abilities of your companions?"
