The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 805: Chapter 805: Left Cheek or Right Cheek?

Ji You glanced at the ground, there was nothing, and looked at the nine people like they were fools: ”No money, huh.”

Everyone: ”...”

They took a deep breath and said in unison: ”We’re just contemplating life.”

”Tsk!” Ji You said, ”I thought there was money to pick up.”

Then.

She held her cheeks and squatted back down.

Suddenly—

Footsteps came from behind, followed by someone gently kicking Ji You’s backside, saying, ”Move aside, if you want to squat, squat in the corner. Don’t block the way, okay?”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You took a deep breath before turning around, pointing to the side: ”Senior, the road is so wide, why do you have to walk here?”

As soon as Ji You turned around, Old Chen immediately pinched his nose and bounced back.

Ji You: ”...”

”Oh—so you’re not smelling anymore,” Old Chen moved his hand away from his nose and chuckled, ”I thought you were still that stinky kid.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You’s face darkened: ”Senior, if you keep babbling, the credit points you owe me will double.”

Old Chen didn’t care at all, smiling slyly: ”Stingy.”

Ji You asked: ”Senior, what are you doing here? Don’t you, an old debtor, have any awareness? Running in front of your creditor all the time, isn’t it annoying?”

Old Chen: ”Just passing by.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You really didn’t believe this old rascal was just passing by, and for a moment, she felt a bit of anticipation: Could it be that this senior is actually a master, and despite the derogatory words, was secretly quite proud? Did he come here specifically to give the protagonist a martial arts manual or a rare artifact? Rare treasures?

Then.

Old Chen directly bypassed Ji You and then Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, Sheng Qingyan... all the students, Chu Jiaojiao and others immediately stood up to greet him: ”Hello, Senior!”

”Hello.” Old Chen waved casually, saying: ”Squat back down, I didn’t come looking for you guys.”

Chu Jiaojiao and the others: ”...”

Forget it.

Keep squatting and contemplating life.

Old Chen walked straight to Teacher Mu Jianling. When Mu Jianling saw Old Chen, her expression wasn’t surprised, rather a bit of obvious disdain, but she still said: ”Spit it out or leave.”

Old Chen pretended to be hurt and said: ”Xiao Ling, you can’t treat an old man like this.”

Mu Jianling: ”Haha.”

Old Chen said: ”Actually, I do have a favor to ask.”

Mu Jianling noticed the ten youngsters around were all listening intently, then frowned, saying: ”Let’s go.”

Mu Jianling strode forward.

Old Chen quickly followed.

Seeing this, Ji You whispered to Chu Jiaojiao next to her: ”What’s up with this senior? Why does he seem so familiar with Teacher Mu?”

Chu Jiaojiao scratched her head: ”No idea.”

Old Chen, sharp-eared, suddenly turned around, smiling at Ji You, saying: ”Haha, I’ve known Teacher Mu for ages; back when she was a rookie, I was the one leading her.”

Ji You: ”!!!”

Chu Jiaojiao and the others: ”!!!”

That sentence had so much information!

Mu Jianling’s face darkened, saying: ”Say it or I’m leaving.”

Old Chen quickly said: ”I’ll say, I’ll say...”

Mu Jianling took big strides.

Old Chen followed with small steps.

Soon, the two disappeared from the students’ view, and as for what they talked about, the students had no idea, and Ji You along with the others were even more curious, Yue Qiguang frowned, saying: ”What on earth are they discussing that they can’t let us hear?”

Yue Qiyuan: ”Ahem... If they’re keeping it from us, there must be things they don’t want us to know.”

Lou blinked: ”Then what is it?”

Zhang Ye said: ”It’s probably nothing good. Stop being curious, I’m more interested in knowing about this Senior Chen.”

Senior Chen not only has a connection with Teacher Mu, but also with the former commander of the First Legion, General Chu Zhan, and with General Shen Chi of the Fifth Legion. The relationships appear to be rather good.

These are high-ranking figures.

As Zhang Ye said this, everyone else became curious too, all eyes fixed on Chu Jiaojiao and Shen Changqing.

Shen Changqing shook his head, saying: ”I don’t know, honestly.” He had never heard his grandfather mention this senior. Otherwise, Shen Changqing would surely have more knowledge.

Everyone’s gaze shifted to Chu Jiaojiao.

Chu Jiaojiao looked confused, saying: ”I really don’t know, haha.”

Given this senior’s appearance and advanced age, yet still maintaining such a handsome state, one would think her old poor family would surely have gone after him, and if they did, she would have known. This point really puzzled Chu Jiaojiao.

Chu Jiaojiao said: ”I haven’t heard my elder mention this senior, if she did, I certainly wouldn’t be unaware.”

Ji You cleared her throat, saying: ”But your grandma owes him money.”

With Old Chen being so stingy, lending 500 credit points to General Chu Zhan perhaps really signifies a close relationship.

Chu Jiaojiao scratched her head, ”Should I ask my grandma now then?”

Ji You: ”Asking now?”

Chu Jiaojiao said: ”Yes.”

As she said this, she was about to dial her grandma’s contact number, but Ji You quickly stopped her: ”Wait a moment.”

Chu Jiaojiao: ”???”

Ji You hurriedly tidied up her hair, straightened her clothes, and patted her cheeks, putting on a serious and earnest expression, asking: ”Jiaojiao, do I look neat like this?”

Chu Jiaojiao: ”???”

Ji You stomped her foot in a coy manner, glaring at her: ”Do you think grandma will like me this way?”

Chu Jiaojiao suddenly realized, and Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, Sheng Qingyan, and others all fell silent.

Chu Jiaojiao’s eyes lit up, ”Ji You, if I like someone, grandma will definitely like them too. So, can I touch your face?”

Finishing her words, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, and others all thought Ji You would immediately turn nasty, but suddenly saw Ji You proactively lean her face over, eagerly asking: ”Would you like to touch the left side or the right side?”

Chu Jiaojiao: ”!!!”

Others: ”...”

Sheng Qingyan rolled her eyes, disdainfully saying: ”Poor dead, enough already, people have dignity, trees have bark.”

Yue Qiyuan sighed softly, ”Indeed, one shouldn’t lose face or bark.”

”Ahem...” Ji You said loudly: ”I can use my face to win General Chu Zhan’s favor, but you can’t, you’re just jealous, you’re surely sour lemons!”

After saying this, Ji You pointed to Xuzhou, Zhang Ye, Lance, and Lou, who were secretly tidying up their attire: ”Look—if you weren’t jealous, then why secretly tidy up your appearance?”

Xuzhou, Zhang Ye, and the others stopped their hands, pretending nothing had happened.

Only Sheng Qingyan looked at Ji You, pouting: ”Who’s a sour lemon? And getting favored by old Mrs. Chu isn’t a good thing at all.”
