Ch 144: An entire candy house of candy

She revealed her extensive connections.

“Dear Yu Feng Jiang, good afternoon~”

Using her vast network of connections, she found the person she was looking for.

And cornered them against a wall.

It didn’t look like they were on good terms and just greeting each other.

Mi Ya Xing found this scene oddly familiar.

A brown paper bag was thrust into his hands, and he was subsequently pushed outside.

“I have a small favor to ask.” After quickly pushing the person outside to act as a lookout, in case any Teacher passed by and thought she was bullying a classmate, Rui Bu Si held out her hand to indicate the size of the favor, trying to make it seem like the request wouldn’t be troublesome.

However, the corner was dimly lit after the light was blocked, and no matter what movements were made, it wouldn’t look like anything a good person would do.

The person cornered against the wall didn’t react at all; from beginning to end, they seemed to be in a Monster Studies Class—their body was present, but their soul had flown off to who-knows-where.

Rui Bu Si didn’t mind Yu Feng’s silence at all and wasn’t worried about whether the other person had heard her.

She calmly recounted her request and slipped another note into Yu Feng’s hand.

Before the note could perform a freefall, Rui Bu Si said, “This is an IOU. After the matter is settled, feel free to pick any candy from the Magic Candy Shop.”

The note, which seemed about to fall, was snatched at the crucial moment, escaping a tragic fate on the floor.

The girl’s wandering eyes suddenly focused.

She seemed about to say something, but ultimately said nothing.

“Don’t worry, although I don’t have much money, the signatory on the IOU isn’t me.”

Those crucial words made Mi Ya Xing, who was acting as a lookout, tense up.

“Hey! The one outside can rest assured too.” Without turning around, Rui Bu Si knew what Mi Ya Xing was thinking. “Seriously, do I really seem that untrustworthy?”

Mi Ya Xing instantly relaxed.

Yu Feng picked up the note, glanced at it, paused for a moment, then held it up to the light and examined it carefully before pocketing it.

Nodding emphatically: “Okay.”

Taking the bag from Mi Ya Xing, she walked towards the Detention Room, a stark contrast to her usual slow pace.

“So, that’s your network of connections?”

“Is it very effective?”

“Connections you’ve only spoken to twice today?”

“Um…” Rui Bu Si thought for a moment, realizing she hadn’t actually spoken to Yu Feng much before. “You could say that.”

“Oh well, the key is that connections work in a pinch; what’s the difference between someone you met today and someone you met yesterday~”

“Then who’s the debtor on that note you gave her?” Mi Ya Xing looked doubtful. “Surely the person who owes isn’t unaware of their debt?”

She protested: “Hey, hey, hey, how can you think of me like that?”

“Oh, I hit the nail on the head,” clearly guilty, “Let’s hear it then, Student Rui Bu Si, who’s the unlucky soul this time?”

Hmm… Rui Bu Si only went back to the Girls’ Dormitory, fiddled with the Magic Cube, and Mi Ya Xing couldn’t figure out who got swindled so badly.

Wu Ke Na Na is still in the Detention Room…

Jian Ni?

Jian Ni can’t afford to pay.

“Humph, you’ll find out soon enough.”

The small slip was incredibly effective at a crucial moment.

Yu Feng, entrusted with an important task, arrived at the Detention Room with the brown paper bag, looking just as usual.

The Meng Warrior at the door greeted her after glancing around, “Snacking again? Be careful, don’t let Captain Yan Wang see you.”

Silently criticizing her captain’s conservative ideas countless times in her heart, she gestured for her to enter, indicating that Yan Wang wasn’t around.

“But you need to hurry, that person is worried that Meng Knights will come to break someone out of jail, and they’ll occasionally run over from the Training Room, even outside of their patrol time.” Just seeing that back-and-forth running, he found it tiring.

The Meng Warrior guarding the door naturally assumed Yu Feng was visiting Ji Mi and sharing snacks.

How nice, she even brought food, wiping away nonexistent tears under her teammates’ strange gazes—

Unlike the “rebellious sons” in his dormitory, who always visit during mealtimes, taking his food while trying to grab a bite of everything.

Ji Mi, inside, initially thought Yu Feng was visiting him.

Until she walked straight towards Wu Ke Na Na.

Wu Ke Na Na, hearing the commotion, felt curious, stood up, and took the brown paper bag through the gaps in the bars. Inside were bread, milk, an apple, a small box of fried rice, and a bulging envelope.

The magic box containing the fried rice could self-heat, and the envelope contained money along with a note.

?Senior, try bribing them?

After reading the note, she couldn’t help but laugh, wiping away the uncontrollable tears from her eyes: “Thank you for giving me this.”

After a round of training, when Yan Wang came to inspect, he received reports of no anomalies.

Wu Ke Na Na, who was locked up, seemed quite well-behaved. He lowered his gaze, adjusted his cuffs, and said coldly, “Continue to strengthen security.”

Regardless of whether those Meng Knights would cause any trouble, Wu Ke Na Na had to be strictly guarded.

—This was an order from Principal Ous, and he had to carry it out properly.

Just as he was about to find Director Pa to discuss whether there were other solutions for the Dark Gene, Eric was stopped halfway.

“Classmate, you…” After hesitating for a moment, Eric decided to hear what Yu Feng had to say first. “Is there something you need?”

The relationship between the Meng Warriors and Meng Knights was currently strained. Yu Feng was Principal Ous’ adopted daughter and close to the Meng Warriors, so Eric couldn’t think of any reason why she would be looking for him.

An IOU was held up before him.

The other party explained, unusually: “You owe me a whole candy shop’s worth of candy.”

The debtor was indeed him.

However, Eric had no recollection of this IOU.

But he did recognize the stamp on the signature.

It was his stamp as Student Council President.

He also recognized the handwriting on the signature.

It was Ya Ya’s.

He glanced again at the parts of the IOU unrelated to himself: “Piao A Piao also owes you a Potion Recipe?”

Yu Feng didn’t answer.

Eric could guess who was behind all this.

“Classmate, could you tell me what they asked you to do?”

“Wu Ke Na Na.”

Alright.

“Then please wait a moment; I need to discuss something with Director Pa.”
