Chapter 44: Disappointmen (2/2)

“I’m sorry, Young Master Yu, for the two days, none of us were able to find any of those stones,” Wu Chang spoke while his complexion was very ugly. This was the first task Cheng Yu had assigned to him. He did not expect that for the past two days, they went to every shop that sold stones in Yunhai, but were still unable to find any of them. Although there was still a day left, the probability of finding it was very low.

“Oh, are you sure that you searched all of Yunhai?” After he heard what Wu Chang said, Cheng Yu was disappointed, he did not expect that he wasn’t able to find even one of them. What was he going to do next?

“We basically searched everywhere. However, there’s still one more day. I think we would have screened all of Yunhai by then. Furthermore, I ordered Dao Jiu to bring some people to go to the nearby Qingping City. Over there, there’s quite a number of bigger jade shops. Perhaps, there will be some good news,” Wu Chang replied after thinking.

“Let’s pray for the best then.” Cheng Yu’s enthusiasm had already started to wane. He had no idea if this world had any spirit stones. This made Cheng Yu extremely depressed. If there were spirit stones, Cheng Yu would have some methods to find them. But if there was none, that would be a whole different issue.

When he returned home, Cheng Yu did not speak a word as he went back to his room directly and started to cultivate wholeheartedly. He decided that in the future, he would need to cultivate diligently. Even if there were no spirit stones, he must allow those around him to live for a long time. However, such expenditures were very large.

Just the consumption of medical pills alone would be an extraordinary amount. Moreover, purely using pills alone would be impossible. Pills are used for assistance. They only allow people to achieve their goals in a quicker manner. Even if it was Cheng Yu, the pill master, he was not able to rely on the pills to soar without any effort on his part. Therefore, any Immortal Cultivator would still need to cultivate diligently.

When Zhao Minglong and his family, who were seated in the living room, saw Cheng Yu was depressed, they were unable to make any heads or tails with his behavior. All this time, Cheng Yu always displayed an optimistic side to everyone, and they had not seen him like this for a long time.

The next day, Cheng Yu woke up from his cultivation. He felt that his improvement was not that bad. If his surrounding spiritual qi could be a bit richer, it would have been better.

As he felt his qi was getting more and more profound, at the rate which this cultivation was going, before the start of college entrance exams, he would be able to cultivate to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm.

Cheng Yu nipped on the steam bun in his hand and drank his fresh, hot soy milk. He saw that he was surrounded by young and pretty school girls, and he realized that his life here was indeed very beautiful. However, he did not expect that the moment he entered the classroom, he was seized by Yao Na. Yao Na put on a serious face as she pulled him into her office.

The moment he entered her office, he saw all the homeroom teachers of the graduating classes. When He Jian saw Cheng Yu, he retreated back unconsciously as he remembered the scenes from the nightclub.

After the experience he had in the nightclub, He Jian was extremely depressed. It was supposed to a happy ending for him and it turned out to be something very depressing. When he saw Yao Na yesterday, he tried to talk to her for a long time, but she ignored him. It was very obvious that when this kid was sending her home, Cheng Yu told He Jian’s schemes to Yao Na, causing her to become like that. This caused He Jian to hate Cheng Yu to his bones. “He better pray that I will not be able to find any information that can be used against him. Otherwise, I will definitely kick you out of school before the college entrance exams,” He Jian thought as he was extremely frustrated.

Although he was scared of Cheng Yu’s martial arts, he was in school right now. As he was also the team leader of the graduating classes, in an instant, he reverted to his arrogant nature.

“May I know the reason for Teacher Yao to be looking for me?” Cheng Yu looked at Yao Na and asked.

“Why did you not come over to my place for tutoring yesterday?” Yao Na frowned.

“I felt that I should study with steady progress and not demand instant success. Therefore, yesterday I went home to do my homework instead,” Cheng Yu said earnestly.

“Oh? If it’s like that, you must have completed all the homework I assigned to you?”

“I haven’t yet.” It could be said that Cheng Yu indeed was a multi-talented person. Not only was he able to lie in an upright manner, he was also able speak the truth in a right and confident way. Though, the truths he spoke were never good things.

Cheng Yu immediately started thinking of excuses to give to Yao Na when he realized the situation was not favorable for him. Although he had a photographic memory, completing assignments was never his strong point, as it was the opposite of memorizing a book. Although he used an afternoon to do his assignments, he was not able to complete much of them. Even if he had learnt a lot of new English words, in an English article, there were tons of words he was unable to recognize. It caused Cheng Yu to have a headache. With just that assignment taking up so much time, he was left without much time to do the other assignments.
