Han Ruoruo's Discovery and the Plan to Save Her Best Friend

An hour later, in a private room on the top floor of the Shrek Grand Hotel, Han Ruoruo rested her chin on her hand, watching the maids continuously bring in one exorbitantly priced dish after another.

After the last dish was served, Han Ruoruo chuckled softly:

"Junior brother, has the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School always acted this arrogantly?"

Jiang Yu poured the two of them a glass of the Nine Treasure Pavilion's special fruit wine, then smiled and said:

"Senior Sister Han, other sects might be exaggerating when they say they're so poor they only have money left, but when our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect says we're so poor we only have money left, it's the absolute truth."

"Putting everything else aside, for us, the most loyal of the loyalists, Gold Soul Coin are just a string of numbers."

Upon hearing this, Han Ruoruo rolled her eyes and then gave her evaluation of Jiang Yu's show-off behavior.

"You rich bastard, you think you're so great just because you have money!"

Like Wu Ming, Han Ruoruo has a background, but it's not particularly strong. Her family is only considered a second or third-rate power on the entire continent. They have good potential, and the reason they stayed at the Shrek Academy to study even after their cultivation had already reached the graduation standard was to seek better development.

If they can become Sea God Pavilion Elder in the future, then the family's situation will improve even further.

Once they become Sea God Pavilion Elder, as long as they leave behind descendants, those descendants will enjoy the dual resources of an Senior Elder and the family, and will have a high chance of remaining among the high-ranking members of the Shrek Academy. As long as someone in the family holds a high position in the Shrek Academy, the family will always have someone to rely on, and in some ways, they can even enjoy special resources from the Shrek Academy.

Jiang Yu smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Having money may not necessarily make you great, but not having money will definitely make it difficult to get by. Senior, you don't disagree with that, do you?"

Han Ruoruo tilted her head and thought for a moment, then spread her hands and said:

"Okay, I admit you're right, junior."

After knowing each other for a little over an hour, Han Ruoruo's impression and understanding of Jiang Yu had completely changed from the "eleven-year-old child" stereotype.

Who could understand the surprise and shock in her heart?

She had imagined Jiang Yu to be a tiny little guy, maybe even shorter than her, but what did she see when the door opened?

He was a tall, upright figure, nearly 1.9 meters tall, almost a head taller than her; he was dressed in red with silver hair, exuding both an otherworldly and ethereal aura; and his otherworldly temperament was something she had never felt from any of the Inner Court boys before.

Han Ruoruo doesn't consider herself a looks-obsessed person, because she values a person's inner qualities and talent more than their appearance.

But Jiang Yu's handsome face still left her truly amazed.

People are naturally inclined to appreciate and benevolently accept beautiful things, and it is an almost indisputable fact that people with outstanding appearances are naturally more likely to gain the favor and goodwill of others.

While being amazed by Jiang Yu, Han Ruoruo's worries and concerns grew stronger.

Even though they had only known each other for a short time, Han Ruoruo could clearly sense that Jiang Yu's intelligence and shrewdness far surpassed those of her not-so-bright best friend.

Most importantly, given Jiang Yu's intelligence, it's impossible that he didn't know about his sister's feelings for him and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's plans. At the same time, it's also impossible that he didn't feel the extraordinary care and concern his best friend had for him.

Even so, Jiang Yu remained defiant and accepted everything without question.

What is he trying to do?

Han Ruoruo realized that the junior student in front of her was far from being as upright and virtuous as she had imagined.

Beneath his stunningly handsome exterior lies a heart that is likely philandering and greedy.

If that's the case, then my best friend's situation is in danger.

Han Ruoruo's expression remained unchanged, but her thoughts were churning like a turbulent tide.

She wanted to give her best friend a heads-up, but as soon as she turned her head, she saw Wu Ming gently place a piece of tuna belly dipped in lemon juice and sea salt into Jiang Yu's bowl with a gesture she had never seen before.

Even after Jiang Yu finished eating, she thoughtfully served him a bowl of sweet dragon spine soup.

That demeanor was completely unlike the well-known active volcano in the Inner Court; it was more like that of a sweet and considerate young wife on her honeymoon.

Han Ruoruo:...

After sighing in exasperation, Han Ruoruo realized that reminding Wu Ming now was like casting Jiang Yu before swine. The only way to make Wu Ming realize that something was wrong with Jiang Yu was to analyze his actions in detail in private and wait for Jiang Yu his own flaws. Only then would Wu Ming truly wake up.

As for now...

Looking at the table full of priceless delicacies, and remembering that Jiang Yu had taken the initiative to treat them to dinner today, and adhering to the principle that it's a fool not to take advantage of a bargain, Han Ruoruo also picked up her chopsticks.

We'll plan how to save my best friend later; what's done is done, let's eat first...

Life in the Inner Court was indeed much freer than in the Outer Court. Coupled with the superior living conditions and the good habit of skipping classes that he had developed in the Outer Court, Jiang Yu's cultivation time increased significantly, and he also had more time to comprehend the Dao of Space and the power of time that he had already begun to understand.

Whether it's because the air in the Divine Realm is sweeter than the air in the Douluo Continent or not, Jiang Yu's understanding of space and time has been increasing and transforming almost every day since he returned from the Divine Realm.

Of course, Jiang Yu knew very well that his changes were not related to the air; the problem most likely stemmed from the Time-Space Divine Crystal.

Even shortly after becoming an apprentice, Jiang Yu had some doubts about why the legacy of the Space God was called the Time-Space Divine Crystal. Now that he thought about it, the Time-Space Divine Crystal was probably not as simple as he had imagined.

But what exactly the secret is, Jiang Yu couldn't guess; he could only wait until his strength improved further before exploring it.

In just over half a month, Jiang Yu not only successfully established a new rhythm of life, but also became very familiar with Han Ruoruo and others. At the same time, he used the two of them as stepping stones to get to know leading figures in the Inner Court at that time, such as Lotus Fairy Hua Yao and Dark Demon Eagle Gu Fan.

Occasionally, after finishing her work, Zhang Lexuan would visit Jiang Yu's home, mainly to ask if Jiang Yu in well and if he had encountered any problems.

As the Grandmaster, she indeed took excellent care of every new New Student entering the Inner Court, which explains why all the Inner Court Student were completely convinced by Zhang Lexuan.

Her personal charm is truly beyond what can be summarized in just a few words.

Jiang Yu sometimes felt a mix of emotions, including confusion and bewilderment.

How exactly did Tang Ya from the Outer Court manage to turn the tables on Zhang Lexuan, who had gotten to know and become familiar with Bei Bei first, and even manage to turn Bei Bei into someone obsessed with love?

In terms of looks, manners, talent, and so on, Zhang Lexuan completely surpasses Tang Ya. Tang Ya's only advantage is her age.

After thinking about it, Jiang Yu felt that Bei Bei might just like Tang Ya's type.

Or rather, over the years, Bei Bei had long since categorized Zhang Lexuan as family. When familial affection reaches a certain level, it is indeed unlikely that romantic love will blossom.

Unfortunately, although Bei Bei and Tang Ya have a good relationship, as long as the hidden dangers in Tang Ya's body are not resolved, their relationship will most likely end in tragedy.

At least Jiang Yu didn't think that the plot, which he had fundamentally changed, would end up the same as in the original work.
