Chapter 817 Meeting an Old Friend

Before Yu Muhuai withdrew his hand, he didn't forget to tidy up Luo Ji's hair a little.

Loki asked, "What would you like to drink?"

"Need not."

"I exerted my strength."

"Okay, I'll have this coffee and that dessert."

"."

Yu Muhuai blinked: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, just order whatever you like."

"Oh, then two more cups."

"You really have no manners at all."

Why should I be polite with you?

"."

Luo Ji couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Yu Muhuai knew that he wouldn't really hold these things against him, so he was just joking.

"I don't want the last two drinks, I was just kidding."

The waiter standing nearby twitched his eye and almost broke the pencil in his hand.

Yu Muhuai ignored this.

After the waiter left, she finally got down to business: "Besides you, who else passed the test this time?"

Luo Ji shook his head: "It's just me."

"Ow?"

Yu Muhuai stared in disbelief, expressing his confusion.

Luo Ji reached out and helped Yu Muhuai close her drooping jaw.

"That's right, it's just me."

"Why? I thought one of Ye Xu'an and Tong Yi would definitely pass. The secret has been found, and the members are all obvious. What else is there to worry about?"

Luo Ji looked at Yu Muhuai with amusement and asked in return, "Are you sure the members are obvious?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Muhuai was stunned for a moment.

She recalled the situation during the assessment task and then suddenly realized.

"So...they filled in the wrong name and put mine in?"

Luo Ji smiled and said, "Congratulations, your scheme has succeeded."

Yu Muhuai suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

She pouted and said, "I never intended to eliminate everyone. I just thought it would be fun, so I wanted to tease them a bit."

To everyone's surprise, they were both wrong.

"Well, it's not your fault. It's that those two aren't very bright. They can't even see the key information, so they deserve to fail."

Yu Muhuai readily accepted the situation and immediately put the burden behind him.

She nodded with a smile: "Yes, yes, we even found out the village's secrets and delivered them directly to them. In the end, only the four of us were left."

Even though I changed the assessment task from super hard mode to easy mode, I still got it wrong, so it's really not my fault.

Luo Ji gave a soft "hmm".

Yu Muhuai felt a little apologetic, but he felt nothing at all.

Even if those people failed the test, or even if they all perished during the test, it would have nothing to do with him.

"Teacher Yu!"

Just as Yu Muhuai and Luo Ji were having a pleasant conversation, a voice suddenly interrupted their dialogue.

The only people in the agency who would call her that are...
"Hongren."

Yu Muhuai instantly dropped his smiling expression, feigned nonchalance, and turned to greet Hongren.

Since the other party always addresses her as "teacher" with such respect, she should at least put on airs as a teacher.

The person who came with Hongren was also an old friend whom Yu Muhuai knew.

Orange.

He was still wearing a white shirt and gold-rimmed glasses, looking rather ascetic.

"Teacher Yu, it really is you! I saw your back from afar! Oh my, it's been so long! They say a day apart feels like three autumns, but it feels like countless autumns have passed between us!"

While expressing his longing, Hongren warmly sat down next to Yu Muhuai.

Yu Muhuai and Luo Ji were sitting facing each other. After Cang Ju greeted them, he sat down next to Luo Ji.

After eloquently and passionately uttering hundreds of words, Hongren finally noticed the man opposite Yu Muhuai.

He exclaimed "Huh?" and sized up Luo Ji. "This brother has a handsome face and an extraordinary bearing. I've never seen him before. Could he have just passed the test?"

Luo Ji smiled but did not answer, while Yu Muhuai squinted at Hongren.

"Judging from your tone, do you often come around this area?"

Upon hearing this, Hongren smiled and nodded: "Teacher Yu, I will come here often to discuss things like 'being kind to others' with my colleagues."

I've thought about it. Wouldn't it be better to communicate with my colleagues carefully before they set off to different worlds to carry out their missions, and to help them understand the meaning of goodwill itself, than to repent afterwards?

And Teacher Yu, what you said to me before was very inspiring! I really…

Yu Muhuai looked at him with a strange expression: "You must be quite unpopular on this street, right?"

Hongren hissed and said with slight dissatisfaction, "Teacher Yu, you can't say that. It is said that 'honest advice is hard to hear but beneficial to conduct.'"

Although people may not like hearing these words, the benefits are undeniable!

Yu Muhuai asked with amusement, "What benefits? Selling people out and then helping them count the money? Or failing to nip the problem in the bud and waiting to be eliminated later? Or being repaid with ingratitude for saving people with a saintly heart?"

"I"

Hongren's face turned red, and he was about to say something when Yu Muhuai interrupted him.

"Alright, alright, do you think I don't know what kind of person you are? Put away your nonsense. When it comes to debate and persuasion, you're no match for me, so don't even think about trying to convince me."

"I"

"It's rare for us to meet, so let's talk about something cheerful. Stop with your high-sounding principles, or don't blame me for being ruthless. I don't care if we're in the firm or not; if I don't like you, I'll hit you, understand?"

After saying that, Yu Muhuai seemed afraid that the other party would not believe him, so he waved his fist in front of Hongren.

Although her fist was not large, Hongren knew very well how much energy it contained.

He swallowed nervously and cast a pleading look at Cang Ju across from him.

Cangju, who had been observing from the sidelines, stepped in to smooth things over.

"Alright, Hongren, say less. It's rare to see Xiaoyu, so relax and don't be too nervous."

After saying that, he extended his hand to Luo Ji, who was standing to the side, and introduced himself: "My name is Cang Ju, may I ask who you are?"

Luo Ji did not extend his hand, but simply said, "Luo Ji."

Cangju wasn't annoyed and casually withdrew her hand.

Yu Muhuai looked Cangju and Hongren up and down for a while.

She remembered that both of them were present during her first assessment task.

However, Hirohito committed suicide at the beginning, while Aoki passed the test together with him.

How did these two people come to know each other?

She raised her own questions.

Hongren answered first: "Cangju recognized my voice in the tea room, and that's how we met."

Teacher Yu, do you know? Cang Ju is truly handsome, kind-hearted, and generous! Having such a friend is a blessing indeed!

Hongren continued talking non-stop, while Cangju remained silent with a faint smile.

Yu Muhuai looked at Hongren, who looked like a fool in front of him, and chuckled inwardly.

Is Cangju kind-hearted and generous?

This person is a wolf in sheep's clothing; he appears gentle and refined on the surface, but he has a lot on his mind.

However, she was too lazy to say anything more. Anyway, it seemed that he wouldn't do anything to harm Hongren.

I guess he's seen too much of the dark side of humanoids and just wants to be friends with a silly kid like Hirohito.

Hongren:.
The four of them sat there chatting for a long time, with Yu Muhuai and Hongren doing most of the talking.

Cang Ju occasionally chimed in, while Luo Ji remained almost entirely silent.

Knowing that Luo Ji didn't like talking to strangers, Yu Muhuai promptly stopped the gathering.

"I have to go back now. We can talk again if anything comes up."

Although Hongren was reluctant to part, he pouted and waved goodbye.

Cang Ju realized that Luo Ji and Yu Muhuai still had something to say to each other alone, so she pulled the reluctant Hong Ren away first.

After the two left, Luo Ji spoke up, saying, "It seems you get along quite well with your friends at the firm."

Hearing the other person's flat tone, Yu Muhuai blinked, then said teasingly.

"What's wrong? Are you jealous? Hehe, don't worry, I'm definitely your best friend."

Yu Muhuai was clearly joking, but Luo Ji did not deny it.

Before returning to her room, she and Logy agreed to contact each other via text message every time a new world passed.

If both of you happen to be free, then you should arrange to meet up.

Yu Muhuai happily agreed.
