Sudden Change

A Sudden Change

Soon, the family of three, Tang Ziran, departed.

On the street bathed in the setting sun, Gu Yue looked at Qiangu Wuji with great interest.

"I always thought you had a pretty good personality."

"What, is my personality not good now?" Qiangu Wuji withdrew his gaze and said with a smile, "Everyone else describes me as a polite, good kid."

Gu Yue shook her head and said nothing.

A good personality?

If it weren't for what happened today, she probably would have continued to think that Qiangu Wuji was a harmless little flower, but now it seemed this guy was clearly a schemer.

If her harm to Tang Wulin was the most direct physical kind, then Qiangu Wuji's was psychological.

She wouldn't dare say which method caused more harm, but there was no doubt that Qiangu Wuji's approach was far more sophisticated.

Thinking about it, after going home tonight, Tang Wulin would inevitably get a beating from his family.

And all of this was entirely because of this guy.

Hearing this, Qiangu Wuji became even more confused; did this have anything to do with mecha design?

Shouldn't things like mecha design involve those array components?

"Since you are into design, the breadth of your thinking is definitely the most important thing. That is the reason I asked you to do this."

The small city also lacked some of the usual hustle and bustle.

"Come find me earlier tomorrow, and I will explain the core design concepts of Battle Armor to you, specifically micro-compressed Soul Tools."

"Including, but not limited to, things like clothing."

"Snap!"

He nodded and replied in a low voice.

Mu Ye stood up, his hands behind his back.

Lin Ximeng also frowned, then walked down.

In the classroom, Qiangu Wuji greeted his classmates as usual, and soon Lin Ximeng walked in.

"Alright, go back now, the teacher will be worried in a moment."

"Okay!"

"You haven't even learned how to run, yet you want to learn how to fly first?"

After finding a lead, he quickly had an idea, and those famous children's clothing brands from his previous life began to emerge in his mind.

After some final thought, he concluded that the purpose of Mu Ye's design task was likely to exercise his thinking ability.

Suddenly, Tang Wulin walked in at a very fast speed, and then, amidst the surprised gazes of everyone, he arrived at Qiangu Wuji's desk and slammed a piece of paper onto it with a loud slap.

"Huh, isn't that Tang Wulin's seat? Where is he?"

"I don't know what you are talking about."

At this time, the weather had entered winter, and the streets of Aolai City were covered in a thin layer of ice.

The surrounding students couldn't sit still upon hearing this, and the room erupted in chaos.

He watched in confusion, guessing what was going on, when suddenly, a rush of hurried footsteps came from outside the classroom.

"Kidnapping?"

"Hiss!"

Inside the Seaview Home Hotel.

Mu Ye looked at the thing in his hand and nodded in approval.

Inside the Seaview Home Hotel, Mu Ye clearly knew he would come, so he had been waiting in the room early.

As if seeing through his confusion, Mu Ye glared at him.

"Also, don't let your use of Bloodline Power slack off. I will teach you some things in the next few days, so remember them well."

At the old house, Na'er was waiting for him at the door as always. Upon seeing him return, she cheered and ran over, giving him a big hug.

After being dazed for a while longer, Gu Yue spoke.

Tang Wulin seemed to have just cried; his eyes were red, and a diamond-shaped dragon scale flickered faintly on his forehead.

Returning home, after a quick meal, Qiangu Wuji greeted Leng Yaozhu and then went to find Mu Ye.

The entire class of students was stunned at this moment, looking at him with expressions of extreme astonishment.

The classroom desk had almost been cracked by his slap.

"What is this?"

In the winter season, everyone was dressed in fuzzy clothes, looking as bloated as penguins.

Regarding this matter, he was not in a hurry, intending to first figure out the other party's goal before taking action.

Qiangu Wuji nodded. Provoking the relationship between Tang Wulin and his father was merely something he did out of boredom; who told that guy to snap at him?

He had only been trying to say hello, yet the guy dared to snap at him—he deserved it!

Seeing him arrive, he didn't say a word and immediately tossed a rag at him.

Over the next few days, he racked his brains trying to complete the task the other party had assigned.

After bidding farewell to Mu Ye, Qiangu Wuji headed home.

Qiangu Wuji looked toward the sound and, sure enough, the seat where Tang Wulin should have been sitting was now empty.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Mu Ye stood up and added another sentence.

Qiangu Wuji looked at the rag in his hand, feeling quite puzzled.

By the time the two returned, the sky had turned completely dark. Winter was approaching, so the days were growing short.

It seemed the original plot had been advanced; since Tang Ziran and his wife had been taken away, Tang Wulin must have mistakenly assumed their disappearance had something to do with him.

Everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction.

Just as his voice fell, Tang Wulin slammed his hands onto the desk, his immense physical strength shattering the desk into splinters.

"Where are my parents? Where exactly did you hide them!"

That day, as usual, Qiangu Wuji and Gu Yue arrived at school together.

"..."

"I understand."

With this, the path to Qiangu Wuji's second profession had truly begun.

Where is he?

And just like that, another month passed by in the blink of an eye.

Qiangu Wuji looked at him calmly, having already roughly guessed what was going on.

As winter approached, Aolai City lost its usual vitality, and the already small town became even more desolate.

Finally, on the fifth day, he obtained what he needed and went to find Mu Ye.

"You have no foundation yet, so even if I teach you things, you won't understand. Let's start with the basics. Using this cloth, within one week, design a piece that would be liked by children your age using any method you can think of."

"Stop pretending! I know it—you and Gu Yue have been coveting the power within me, worried that I would surpass you geniuses, so you kidnapped my parents!"

Finally, combining it with the style of this world, he drew a sketch, took it to a tailor shop, and spent a large sum of money to have it sewn together.

He was very puzzled by this; I mean, I look so harmless, why would you suspect me of being a kidnapper?

Helplessly, he explained.

Tang Wulin's eyes were bloodshot as he roared.

"Not bad, you really have talent, and your ideas are bold enough."

"What on earth is going on?"

Tang Wulin glanced at her, seemingly concerned about something, then took one last deep look at Qiangu Wuji before turning and leaving without a word.

Watching him leave, everyone in the class looked at each other, then simultaneously turned their gazes toward Qiangu Wuji.
