Chu Tian was momentarily at a loss for words when Ye Ling asked him a question.
Luo Luo, on the other hand, exclaimed with surprise, "Senior sister, are you mistaken? He has the qualifications to be recruited into the Ninth Office?"
After saying that, she looked at Chu Tian and felt a bit embarrassed, as if she had looked down on him too much.
Unsure of what to do, Luo Luo stuck out her tongue at Chu Tian and made a funny face.
"Heh heh!" Ye Ling chuckled and said, "Luo Luo, you don't know that your little brother has really made a name for himself today."
"Ah? Senior sister, tell me quickly!" Luo Luo's interest was clearly piqued by Ye Ling's words.
"It's nothing much, just that the person I scouted has been turned into a cripple!" Ye Ling said indifferently.
"Really? Brother, are you that amazing? I heard you had a nickname called trash!" Luo Luo asked Chu Tian curiously.
Chu Tian thought to himself, "Can't you just tell the truth, you little girl? Give me some face, won't you?"
Seeing Chu Tian's expression, Luo Luo covered her mouth, giggling so hard her body trembled. Then she added, "Senior sister, what happened to that person?"
She felt quite proud of Ye Ling's praise for Chu Tian, even though she didn't know why Chu Tian had become so strong.
However, she was genuinely happy. If Chu Tian became stronger, perhaps…
That's why she was so unrestrained, as a small plan quietly took shape in her heart.
Ye Ling smiled faintly, "Actually, it's not that bad. Just five broken ribs, six missing teeth, a severe concussion, and no telling when he'll wake up. Also, his heart meridians are damaged, so strenuous exercise is basically out of the question, and he might have to take it easy during… you know."
"Uh…" Luo Luo kept looking at Chu Tian in shock at Ye Ling's earlier words, even pinching his arm in disbelief.
However, Ye Ling's last sentence was so suggestive that it made Luo Luo blush instantly, unsure how to respond.
Hearing Ye Ling describe Cheng Tian's injuries, Chu Tian was also quite shocked to realize the extent of the damage he had inflicted.
However, Chu Tian felt no remorse whatsoever. He deserved to be crippled, given how he had treated him before.
It was lucky for him that the last kick didn't kill him.
Still, he was surprised that the "cold-faced demoness" could be so lewd. He looked her up and down, wondering if she was Ye Ling's twin sister.
Ye Ling naturally knew Chu Tian was scrutinizing her, and she said something that made his hair stand on end.
"Don't look at me, I'm not interested in men!" Then, in front of everyone, she took Luo Luo's hand and said, "Luo Luo, even though you can't join the Ninth Office, we can still stay in touch. Find me when you have time!"
Chu Tian shivered, goosebumps erupting all over him. This… this…
Even the skewer of meat on its way to his mouth trembled and dropped to the ground.
For some reason, a scene suddenly flashed through his mind: two stunning beauties entwined… (omitted one thousand words here.)
"Uh…" Luo Luo subtly withdrew her hand, her small face flushed, and said, "I'll come find you when I have time, Senior sister."
As she said that, she secretly glanced at Chu Tian, who seemed to have frozen over.
What was going on? Luo Luo actually agreed, and so shyly?
"No!" Chu Tian suddenly stood up.
His voice was loud, practically a roar, almost making everyone on the street hear him.
Chu Tian realized he had lost his composure and sat down sheepishly.
He grabbed Luo Luo's hand and, under Ye Ling's amused gaze, said, "Um, can you include me when you guys play? Pfft… no, you can't play together!"
Ye Ling simply rolled her eyes at him, while Luo Luo covered her mouth and chuckled, "Brother, why can't Luo Luo and Senior sister play together? If you want to play, I can include you!"
Chu Tian knew very well that Luo Luo was digging a trap for him, evident from her cunning little eyes.
He replied solemnly, "Assistant Instructor Ye is very busy, she doesn't have time to indulge a little girl like you, right Senior sister Ye?"
Ye Ling ignored him, letting out a soft哼.
After the barbecue, the rest of the meal was almost awkward small talk, with Chu Tian constantly on guard against Ye Ling's intentions towards Luo Luo.
Finally, Ye Ling pressed Chu Tian again, "What have you decided about the Ninth Office matter?"
"I don't even know what the Ninth Office does, and what benefits will I get if I join?"
"Go back and let Luo Luo tell you. Let me know when you've considered it." Ye Ling resumed her usual cold demeanor.
After saying that, she actually stood up to bid farewell to Luo Luo, reminding her to definitely look her up, and then left.
For some reason, after Ye Ling left, Chu Tian felt as if a heavy stone had been lifted from his heart.
Although he was quite confident in Luo Luo, the appearance of such a beautiful woman on the scene…
What if she turned his precious Luo Luo gay? And it seemed Luo Luo was also quite interested in her.
It seemed he would have to avoid them meeting in the future. Fortunately, they hadn't exchanged contact information just now.
After Ye Ling left, the two of them ate a bit more until Chu Tian couldn't eat anymore, and then they prepared to head home.
He hadn't eaten anything that morning, then he went to the gym until noon, and then squeezed onto a bus, wandering for over two hours before reaching school.
Although he hadn't moved much in the afternoon's combat training class, he hadn't eaten all day. After finally getting some grilled skewers,
He naturally ate until he was satisfied. Besides, he had money in his pocket now, so much so that he wanted to buy a portion, throw it away, and get another to go.
In his past life, Chu Tian hadn't been as carefree as he was now. His three meals consisted of instant noodles, and sometimes he went hungry.
During dinner, Chu Tian recounted the morning's events to Luo Luo, and like presenting a treasure, he took out the small bracelet.
Luo Luo was naturally very surprised and even a little touched, almost bursting into tears.
When they returned near the villa area, Chu Tian took the future proprietress to visit the gym he had bought with a large sum of money.
Upon returning to the gym, Manager Tang was no longer there.
Qing Qing was managing it with a semblance of order, and everything was running relatively smoothly.
There were many more people here at night than in the morning. Since Tao Jiayu had left and Qing Qing had to manage the shop and work as a receptionist, she was extremely busy.
Chu Tian told her to put up a recruitment notice to hire two more people to replace her and Tao Jiayu.
From now on, she would only be responsible for managing the gym. If there was anything she couldn't handle, she should call him.
Then, he pulled Luo Luo, who was still looking around, back to the villa, as the time for the Heavenly Dao to begin was approaching.
