Zhang Yu felt that the situation here seed a bit off, so he decided not to say much to the other party before he was certain of the circumstances.
Upon noticing that Zhang Yu was gradually becoming uncooperative, responding to their questions with various perfunctory comnts, Master Xuyang couldn’t help but cough.
He said, "Student Zhang Yu, the people from the Dual Rest Sect are unscrupulous in achieving their goals, and every one of them has a penchant for lying."
"Such people would do anything for Dual Rest."
"No matter what Shui Haiyu says, it’s best not to believe it."
Zhang Yu pointed at his school-wide ranking on his forehead and said indifferently, "You two, I’ve just finished a competition and need so quiet."
"I am ranked 44th in the whole school. If you really want to interrogate , please apply through your superior first, then I will definitely cooperate with you."
On the side, Yun Yuqing snorted and said, "Zhang Yu, investigating the Demon Sect is a matter of concern for the Heavenly Court. From top to bottom at Wanfa University, whether teachers or students, everyone must cooperate."
"Discussing things with you now is giving you a chance. Once you are really taken for interrogation, things will be beyond your control."
Zhang Yu said indifferently, "You two, I still need to rest."
He gestured towards the door with his right hand, "Please."
Seeing Zhang Yu remain unmoved, Yun Yuqing couldn’t help sending a ssage to Master Xuyang, asking: Captain, what should we do? He’s not intimidated.
Master Xuyang replied: This Zhang Yu is too calm.
Yun Yuqing: What do you an?
Master Xuyang: Look at all the suspects we’ve dealt with, is any of them as calm as he is?
Master Xuyang: I can’t sense any aversion, fear, or anger towards the Dual Rest Sect from him.
Master Xuyang: In his mouth, the Dual Rest Sect seems like an ordinary organization.
Yun Yuqing was slightly taken aback, recalling Zhang Yu’s behavior just now, surprisingly realizing it was indeed the case.
Master Xuyang: Moreover, he keeps reserved about the matters concerning Shui Haiyu, he must know sothing.
Yun Yuqing: So what? He is in the top 50 of the school and Magnetic Pole True Monarch’s apprentice, even though the Artifact Refining Departnt doesn’t oversee us, without leadership approval, we can’t do anything about him.
Master Xuyang: There is definitely sothing wrong with Zhang Yu.
Yun Yuqing: How do you say?
Master Xuyang: Intuition, the intuition gained from capturing over a hundred Demon Cultists tells .
Master Xuyang: There’s definitely sothing going on with Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu urged again, "Are you two not leaving yet?"
Master Xuyang smiled slightly, "I know students in the Artifact Refining Departnt are very busy, if not studying materials, then preparing for experints. Student Zhang Yu, with such excellent grades, your ti must be valuable, right?"
Zhang Yu frowned, "What are you trying to say?"
Master Xuyang continued, "Shui Haiyu caused a major hour-long strike at Mountain and Sea Professional University."
Watching the surprise in Zhang Yu’s eyes, Master Xuyang continued, "This news has been temporarily suppressed, not many people know."
"Shui Haiyu has already fled, after our investigation, he sent quite a few emails to you."
Master Xuyang advised, "Student Zhang Yu, if you let us check your eye-core to confirm that the data inside hasn’t been tainted by the Dual Rest Sect, proving your innocence, it’s also a good thing for you."
"Being suspected of unclear ties with the Dual Rest Sect and sent to the Rest and Detoxification Center for several months would be a hassle for you, wouldn’t it?"
Zhang Yu’s gaze sharpened, "Are you threatening ?"
Master Xuyang chuckled lightly, "Student Zhang Yu, don’t be so resistant, we are also doing this for the safety of the school, for your own good."
Before the situation becos clear, naturally Zhang Yu wouldn’t casually let his eye-core be checked by them, who knows their true intentions, or whether they would ss with it.
Zhang Yu rely pointed at the ranking on his forehead, saying indifferently, "See the ranking on my forehead? Any issues must be applied to your superiors and reported to the head of the Wanfa Artifact Refining Departnt according to protocol."
After he finished speaking, the 44th school-wide ranking on Zhang Yu’s forehead seed to swell.
Yun Yuqing coldly remarked, "Zhang Yu, being in the top 50 is impressive, but not above the law. You aren’t in the top 20, nor in the top 10, once entangled with the Demon Sect, being apprehended is the sa."
Before Yun Yuqing finished, Zhang Yu’s ranking on his forehead suddenly started changing.
First, the departnt ranking jumped, from 13th to 12th, then 10th, 8th... finally stopping at 6th.
Then the school-wide ranking flickered violently, leaping from 44th to 35th, then to 21st, and finally flashing to 19th under the stunned gazes of Master Xuyang and Yun Yuqing.
"Top 20 in school?"
Watching this, Yun Yuqing exclaid, "What did you do? How could your ranking suddenly soar so much?"
Zhang Yu glanced at the 19th ranking on his forehead, smiled slightly, "Back in school... never won a competition ranking?"
Yun Yuqing still couldn’t believe it, thinking, "How could it soar so much?!"
Master Xuyang’s face slightly changed, thinking, "Such a leap can only an... he took first among hundreds of schools in the design competition."
Master Xuyang stood, "Congratulations, Student Zhang Yu."
Watching their departing backs, Zhang Yu sent another ssage to Zhang Pianpian, inquiring about related intelligence.
Shortly after Master Xuyang and Yun Yuqing left Zhang Yu’s room, they both received ssages from their superiors.
"Who authorized you to investigate soone ranked 19th in the school? Did you follow procedure? Don’t you have any organizational discipline anymore? Do you want to turn things upside down?"
Master Xuyang said helplessly, "He wasn’t ranked like this a minute ago."
"Don’t tell all this, Vice Principal Qi Yun just had soone collect material, planning to announce and comnd Zhang Yu for his top achievent among a hundred schools."
"Investigating the 19th ranked student for a violation, you explain it to the school leaders yourself."
Listening to the superior’s angry reprimand, Yun Yuqing beside him turned pale.
...
anwhile.
In the office of the Investnt Managent Departnt at Wanfa University.
As soon as Mo Sha True Man entered the office, he saw the director in a jovial conversation with a stranger.
Seeing Mo Sha True Man co in, the director waved him over and said, "Mo Sha, this is Master Yun Yang from Wanda Group."
The director then said to the stranger, "This is Mo Sha True Man from our office, dedicated to handling matters concerning the Artifact Refining Departnt students."
Upon hearing the na "Wanda Group," Mo Sha True Man’s heart skipped a beat. He knew this was a giant enterprise beyond the sixth level, belonging to a profiteering group under the sect, essentially a company within a company, a group within a group.
Mo Sha True Man hurriedly greeted the guest.
Only to hear Master Yun Yang lightly laugh and say, "Let get straight to the point."
"The group has always been developing erging markets, and this ti, a leader saw the entries from the Magic Treasure Design Competition and was very interested in Zhang Yu’s winning work."
"So I’ve co to Wanfa University to explore so collaboration with Zhang Yu."
Master Yun Yang ca here because, typically, outstanding students in the Artifact Refining Departnt sign various contracts with the school.
Things like building labs, research centers, and companies involve significant investnt from the school in spirit coins, and the school often represents students in their various patents.
In Master Yun Yang’s view, Zhang Yu should be no exception.
Upon hearing this, the director laughed heartily. As the director of the Investnt Managent Departnt, Taihe True Monarch had felt imnse pressure ever since the economic crisis.
And as the economy gradually recovered, although he managed to catch his breath, he was burdened by countless goals and tasks.
Seeing Wanda Group wanting to collaborate with students from the Artifact Refining Departnt was a godsend achievent.
Even though the student-related investnts had never been a significant focus for him, and were never his key focus, associating with Wanda Group was indeed a successful performance.
This was precisely because Taihe True Monarch focused his main effort on investnts in finance, business, and real estate, without enough familiarity with student projects, thus he called upon Mo Sha True Man.
Mo Sha True Man was slightly taken aback: "First place... Zhang Yu?"
Master Yun Yang from Wanda Group smiled faintly and said, "Although the awards haven’t been officially given, the ranking is pretty much settled, and the data should also be synchronized with Wanfa University."
"Of course, the key is Zhang Yu’s design. We’re indeed very interested."
The director, Taihe True Monarch, asked, "Mo Sha, what’s the situation with Zhang Yu’s company? Tell about it."
Mo Sha True Man couldn’t help but send a ssage saying: Director, we seem to... have no investnt in Zhang Yu. We neither have any rights to his content nor any stakes in his company.
Taihe True Monarch: Such an excellent student, why is there no investnt?
Mo Sha True Man: He’s only a senior, having only recently transferred to the Artifact Refining Departnt...
Master Yun Yang looked at the two and said, "Is there a problem?"
Taihe True Monarch smiled faintly and said, "No problem at all, we’ll get in touch with Zhang Yu right away."
...
Zhang Pianpian: According to the patrol team’s findings, Shui Haiyu was taken away by the Dual Rest Sect.
Zhang Pianpian: There’s no data showing he was detained by a True God of the Spirit Realm.
Zhang Yu: Did soone hijack the Spirit Realm at that ti?
Zhang Pianpian: Uncertain for now.
As Zhang Yu was reviewing the ssages sent by Zhang Pianpian, he unexpectedly received a friend request from soone nad Mo Sha True Man.
Seeing the other party wanting to buy his blueprints, Zhang Yu frowned slightly and did not respond for the ti being.
Just as he got off the Flying Boat, Mo Sha True Man stopped him directly.
"Are you Zhang Yu?" Mo Sha True Man glanced at the ranking above Zhang Yu’s head, his expression growing more enthusiastic: "Knowing you won the design competition’s first place, the school leaders are thrilled."
Zhang Yu, familiar with Kunxu, beca more vigilant as he felt the other’s enthusiasm: "What’s this about?"
Mo Sha True Man: "I’m Mo Sha True Man from the Investnt Managent Departnt, the school wants to invest in promising talents like you."
"You haven’t sold your design blueprints yet, have you?"
"The school plans to buy them for a high price."
Zhang Yu said, "Sorry, I have other matters to attend to now, let’s discuss this later."
Mo Sha True Man hurriedly stopped him, "Wait, Zhang Yu, our leader wants to et you..."
At this mont, a projection floated in front of Zhang Yu.
Magnetic Pole True Monarch said lightly, "Mo Sha, my apprentice and I have sothing to discuss; your investnt departnt matters can wait."
Watching their backs leave, a trace of resentnt flashed on Mo Sha’s face.
