PDLP Chapter 26 Why are all the people you invited girls?
Chapter 26 Why are all the people you invited girls?
After bringing Lin Keke to the Yu family, Old Master Yu looked at Lin Keke, who had transformed into a human, and his lips twitched.
"Why did you bring back a girl? Weren't you supposed to bring back a tree spirit?"
Yu Xueji: "Grandpa, she is a tree spirit. Although she has taken human form, she is very weak."
Liang Junjie nodded, indicating that she was the tree spirit.
Yu Guojun looked at the little girl, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said the usual things: food and lodging included, plenty of spiritual energy to spend, and he also promised to transplant her kind.
After handing Lin Keke over to Yu Laozi, he also gave Lin Keke a small cell phone.
Now that Liang Junjie is rich, he no longer values money and casually gives away cell phones.
"You know how to use a human cell phone, right?" Liang Junjie asked.
Lin Keke nodded. Lin Keke also had her own account, which Ellie helped her open.
Liang Junjie added Lin Keke to the "Your World Diudiu You Cultivation Learning and Exchange Group".
The group chat exploded instantly.
"Holy crap! Another girl! Jay's awesome!"
"Hey Jay, Jay, do you have a picture of this girl?"
……
Liang Junjie took a picture of Lin Keke on the spot and clicked send.
Lin Keke (Note: Greening Specialist - Lin): "Hello everyone... I am Lin Keke, a beautiful kapok tree spirit... I have only recently taken human form... Please take good care of me."
Huo Zhenhui: "Holy crap! A real tree spirit! Brother Jie is awesome!"
Liu Chenghui: "Welcome, newcomer! Wait, a tree spirit? Is it the kind of tree spirit I'm thinking of?"
Zhong Fanjun: "Brother Jie, can you explain this? What kind of hidden plot is this?"
Chen Zhidong: "Hey girl! Have you checked the group files? Feel free to ask me if you have any questions!"
Tsai Kuo-chuan: "...This world is becoming more and more magical. Welcome."
The group chat was instantly flooded with "Welcome" and "Request for Explanation".
Lin Keke was at a loss, holding her phone and not knowing what to reply. She looked to Liang Junjie and Yu Xueji for help.
Yu Xueji: "@All members, don't scare the newcomer. Coco has just taken human form and is still quite simple-minded. She will help take care of the spiritual plants in the Yu family from now on. You can discuss basic cultivation questions, but no prying or joking around."
Huo Zhenhui: "My sister-in-law has spoken! I understand!"
Yoo Seung-hui: "Received!"
Chen Zhidong: "Yu is so cool!"
"Sister-in-law?" Yu Xueji's ears burned when she saw this address, and she glared at Liang Junjie next to her.
Liang Junjie quickly raised his hand to prove his innocence: "It has nothing to do with me! They were just making things up!"
Just then, an ID with an administrator badge and an ethereal, cloud-like avatar spoke up.
Chu Yuxin: "@Liang Junjie's apprentice, you've been inviting people to the group quite frequently lately."
Chu Yuxin: "And why are all the guests girls? [Smiling emoji]"
The group chat fell silent instantly. Even Huo Zhenhui, who had been spamming the chat, stopped.
Liang Junjie stared at the line of text and the "smile" on his phone screen, a chill running down his spine. He quickly typed something.
Liang Junjie: "Master! I'm innocent! Lin Keke is the designated employee for Grandpa Yu's landscaping project. Adding her to the group is for easy communication and exchanging cultivation insights!"
Chu Yuxin: "Oh? Is that so? [Tea-drinking emoji]"
Chu Yuxin: "Last time it was Xiaoxue, this time it's Lin Keke. What about next time? Are we going to drag that tree spirit demon into it too?"
Liang Junjie's fingers froze. Was his master's information network too extensive? Or was he simply bluffing him?
Before he could reply, a notification popped up in the group chat: [Greenery Specialist - Lin invites Honey Fairy - Ellie to join the group chat. Do you agree?]
Liang Junjie: "..."
Yu Xueji: "..."
Lin Keke looked up blankly: "I... I saw that Sister Ellie was online, so I clicked the invite button... She said before that she was a little curious about this group..."
Looking at the new ID on the screen with its milk tea cup and star magic wand icon, and the "Agree" button next to it waiting for confirmation, Liang Junjie felt sweat about to drip from his forehead.
Agree? The master is paying attention to this. Disagree? That seems to make me seem even more guilty.
He gritted his teeth and clicked "agree".
[Miss Snow Fairy - Ellie has joined the group chat.]
Michelle Ellie: "Hi everyone! Coco just told me this is a really fun study and discussion group? I'm Ellie, currently working and experiencing life in China. Nice to meet you! [Attached is a cute emoji with twinkling stars]"
The group chat was silent for about five seconds.
Huo Zhenhui: "...What day is it today?"
Liu Chenghui: "Am I still half asleep? This profile picture, this name... Is this a collaboration with a bubble tea shop?"
Zhong Fanjun: "@Liang Junjie, come out and explain! What's going on here?!"
Chen Zhidong: "Hello, new girl! Wait, something feels a little different about her?"
Chu Yuxin remained silent.
But next second.
Chu Yuxin: [Sneer emoji]
Chu Yuxin: [Sneer emoji]
Chu Yuxin: [Sneer emoji]
She sent over a dozen of the system's default "sneer" emojis, filling the entire screen. The chilling sarcasm almost overflowed from the screen.
No one dared to speak in the group anymore. Even Huo Zhenhui, who was usually the most talkative, was completely silent.
Liang Junjie held his phone, feeling a chill run down his spine. He forced himself to type.
Liang Junjie: "Master... this Ellie is the one who enlightened Lin Keke... her elven friend. She's just here to experience life, and her paperwork... might be being completed. We bumped into each other at the bubble tea shop, chatted for a bit, and Keke just casually..."
Chu Yuxin: "Hehe."
Chu Yuxin: "My apprentice has quite a wide social circle. Tree spirits from the East, elves from the West, they all get along very well."
Chu Yuxin: "That's good."
Looking at the words "pretty good," Liang Junjie felt even more uncertain. He tentatively asked.
Liang Junjie: "Master...you wouldn't...be jealous, would you? [cautiously]"
After the message was sent, the group was eerily quiet; you could almost hear everyone gasping for breath.
A few seconds later.
Chu Yuxin: "Go home early this afternoon."
Chu Yuxin: "Today's cultivation practice will be doubled."
Chu Yuxin: "I will personally supervise."
Chu Yuxin: "[A kind smiley face]"
Liang Junjie: "..." It's over.
Yu Xueji looked at him sympathetically and whispered, "Take care."
Although Lin Keke didn't quite understand what was happening, she sensed a scary atmosphere and shrank back.
Ellie then sent a cute head tilting emoji in the group chat.
Michelle Ellie: "Huh? Did I cause any trouble for everyone? [Fingers fingers] I just came in out of curiosity... This Senior Chu Yuxin seems really amazing! [Starry eyes]"
Chu Yuxin ignored Ellie and her profile picture went dark, seemingly indicating she had logged off. But the invisible pressure still lingered in the group chat.
Liang Junjie, utterly dejected, put away his phone and said to Yu Xueji and Lin Keke, "I'm leaving now... I'm going back to receive my 'teachings of love.' Xueji, you and the old man can take care of Lin Keke."
Yu Xueji nodded: "Don't worry. Just be careful yourself."
Liang Junjie sighed, said goodbye to Yu Guojun, and hurriedly left the Yu family manor, heading towards his own home.
All the way, he kept thinking about how to explain to his master that it was really just a series of coincidences and that he really hadn't been flirting around... although it didn't sound very convincing.
After Huo Chuyu logged off, silence lingered for several minutes before someone dared to speak in a low voice.
Huo Zhenhui: "...Brother Jie, rest in peace."
Liu Chenghui: "Let's observe three minutes of silence for Brother Jie."
Zhong Fanjun: "So, the new girl Ellie, is she really an elf? From the West? And has wings?"
Michelle Ellie: "I'm an elf! But I usually keep my wings folded up, because we have to respect local customs here~ [Cute]"
Chen Zhidong: "Welcome, welcome! Um, do elves also cultivate immortality?"
Michelle Ellie: "Hmm... Should we call it magic or the Way of Nature? But all paths lead to the same destination, and we can learn from each other in many ways! I'm also very interested in the Eastern cultivation system! [Happy]"
Under Ellie's lively guidance, the atmosphere in the group gradually became lively again, and they began to discuss the differences between East and West.
However, everyone tacitly agreed that no one dared to mention the administrator's terrifying, cold laugh that had just flooded the screen.
When Liang Junjie pushed open the door, his heart was pounding. There was no one in the living room, so he tiptoed towards his room.
The moment her hand touched the doorknob, Huo Chuyu's emotionless voice came from inside:
"Come in."
Liang Junjie took a deep breath and pushed open the door to enter.
Huo Chuyu was sitting in his computer chair, her back to him, looking out the window. She didn't turn around when she heard him come in.
"Master..." Liang Junjie chuckled dryly, "I'm back."
"Mm," Huo Chuyu responded softly. "Close the door."
Liang Junjie obediently did as he was told, and then stood in the center of the room like a schoolboy who had made a mistake.
Huo Chuyu finally turned her chair around, her face expressionless, looking at him calmly.
"Tell me about it." She tapped the armrest absently with her fingertips. "Have you been quite busy lately?"
