Application Denied
Three days later, at the Imperial Capital University.
Chen Yu was on the way to the canteen just after finishing the morning class when she answered a phone call. She stuffed the book in her hand in Fang Feifei’s arms, turned and ran out: “Call me for the afternoon class. “
“You’ve only been in school for two days, where are you going?” Fang Feifei shouted, “If you keep going like this, you’ll fail the class again at the end of the term.”
Chen Yu ran far away and shouted without looking back, “Help me take the notes too. I’ll come back and read it.”
“It must be a date,” Han You concluded.
“That’s right.” Zhang Muwan agreed, “Recently, she’s got that besotted smile whenever she picks up her phone.”
“It makes me want to fall in love,” Fang Feifei could not help but sigh.
“Who is that…” When Fang Feifei said this, Han You suddenly recalled something and asked, “Shishi’s online friend, that senior in the computer science department; What’s his name again?… Isn’t he courting you?”
“Feifei thinks he’s ugly,” Zhang Muwan replied with a smile.
“He’s fine. He just has a little too many pimples on his face,” Fang Feifei said with a shrug.
“Pimples? If you think he is not bad, I can recommend a product to get rid of his acne. I guarantee that within two months he will regain his delicate skin,” Han You said.
“Pfft… IT guy with delicate skin? Hahaha… how funny,” Zhang Muwan couldn’t help laughing out loud.
Fang Feifei and Han You were also amused by Zhang Muwan’s very graphic description.
“Speak of the devil, and he comes.” Zhang Muwan gestured ahead with her chin.
Fang Feifei turned her head and looked at the man who was slowly walking towards her. She transferred the book in her hand into Han You’s hand and said, “I’m not going to eat with you guys.”
“Ohhh~~” Han You and Zhang Muwan hooted.
“Don’t get me wrong, ah. I just think he’s quite funny,” Fang Feifei immediately clarified.
“What do you mean funny? Aren’t you abandoning us to go out to dinner with someone else?” Han You obviously did not believe it.
“He said that he keeps dreaming recently about the Black and White Impermanence. Niu Tou and Ma Mian came to interrogate him and asked him why he invaded the network of the Underworld,” Fang Feifei said and couldn’t help but want to laugh, “Stupid.”
“This topic is indeed novel enough, don’t you agree?” Zhang Muwan raised an eyebrow.
“He said yesterday that Niu Tou and Ma Mian introduced him to the eighteen levels of hell. I’m going to listen to it today to see if the eighteen levels of hell in his dream are the same as those described on the Internet.” Fang Feifei said and took the initiative to walk down the steps towards He Jingxing.
Han You and Zhang Muwan looked at each other and shrugged. The two single dogs went to the cafeteria together.
After receiving Lou Ming’s call, Chen Yu rushed back to the courtyard non-stop. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Master Mao and Lou Ming sitting in the living room.
“Third Brother.” After not seeing each other for two days, Chen Yu ran to Lou Ming in a few steps.
“Did you just finish class?”
“Hmm!” Chen Yu nodded repeatedly.
“Then you must be hungry. Come on, let’s go eat.” With the grip of his wide palm, Lou Ming held Chen Yu’s hand and was about to walk towards the dining room.
“Wait a minute!” Chen Yu lightly tugged Lou Ming, and then turned around and asked Master Mao, “Master Mao, has the application for Qingmang Mountain come down yet?”
“This…” In the past few days, Chen Yu sent messages to ask him about this matter whenever she had time, three or four times a day. She was more punctual than meals, making Master Mao helpless.
“Let’s talk after dinner,” Lou Ming suggested.
“It’s just a word. Eating and asking after is all the same,” Chen Yu said without looking back. Her eyes were firmly fixed on Master Mao.
Lou Ming had no choice but to stretch out a hand and forcefully turn Chen Yu’s face over, so she’d be looking at him. And then, he let out a smile that Chen Yu could not resist. He whispered in a low and gentle tone, “Shishi, let’s eat first. Be obedient.”
“Okay!” Chen Yu lost her fighting power in an instant. With tingles all over her body, she foolishly followed Lou Ming’s lead.
“…” Master Mao was caught off guard and ate a wave of dog food.
Master Mao felt that he has been out of luck recently. He had always carried some status in the Metaphysics World. He was quite confident about this, so he submitted an application for the use of Qingmang Mountain’s technique to his superiors with good reasons, but it was rejected. Rejected? He had been dedicated to the country for so many years. He was also a senior official in the Metaphysics Headquarters. How could anyone dare to reject his application?
Well, precisely because Master Mao’s status was already  high, so after his application was rejected, he immediately realized that their hope for the trip to Qingmang Mountain was slim.
“What? The application was denied?” As soon as Chen Yu heard that the application for their Qingmang Mountain trip was denied, she couldn’t calm down. She jerked up and questioned with an aggressive glare.
Master Mao knew she’d react like this, so he did not dare to speak before the meal and to have a pleasant dinner. Well, he didn’t have a pleasant meal earlier either. He was fed dog food the entire time. Fortunately, he was a monk, so he could keep calm throughout the meal.
“Take it easy. Take a seat and talk.” Lou Ming tried to calm her down.
“I can’t.” Chen Yu said sharply, “The application was rejected, right? Then let’s take the second option. I’ll buy a ticket to Qingmang Mountain now.”
“Little Friend Chen, don’t be impulsive.” Master Mao advised her, “Minister Lou is already thinking of another solution.
“Thinking of what solution?” Chen Yu’s eyes lit up, “Is he planning to let ordinary people go in and dig up the spiritual artifacts first, so that the zombies will run out? And in order to catch the zombies, will the Metaphysics Headquarters allow Celestial Masters to enter? By then, I can go with the flow, make use of the opportunity, and waltz off with the artifact…”
“No.” Lou Ming opposed it before Chen Yu could finish speaking. “Ordinary people can not withstand a zombie attack at all. It’s too risky.”
“I have long thought about it. I can prepare them in advance to resist evil qi and let them keep Protective Talismans,” Chen Yu said.
“In the restricted area for Metaphysics, talismans are also useless.” Master Mao broke Chen Yu’s wishful thinking, “Not only talismans, any artificial spirit qi mobilization is forbidden.”
“Wouldn’t that mean that none of us could go in?” Chen Yu was speechless. Huh, even if she weren’t to do anything, she would still absorb any spirit qi inside.
“Exactly!” Master Mao nodded.
“Can’t I sneak in? You guys don’t say anything; I don’t say anything, and no one will know it’s me either,” Chen Yu proposed persistently.
“Don’t make trouble.” Lou Ming stopped her, “Since the Metaphysics Headquarters has listed Qingmang Mountain as a restricted area for Metaphysics, naturally there is a reason. This kind of act with the permission of the state is usually a matter of great importance. Don’t fool around.”
