Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 256 - 222 An Excellent Plan

Since his rival Meng Gui had backed off, openly, the only suitor left for Jiang Yanan was Cui Yu.

He was the only one left who liked Jiang Yanan.

Somehow, Cui Yu felt lonely but also couldn’t help feeling a groundless sense of grandeur; he always felt like he was carrying some burden.

“Meng Gui, the path you couldn’t complete, I will explore it for you.”

“I’ll carry on with your dream and chase after Jiang Yanan.”

“I’ll take your place!”

Cui Yu held a sacred duty in his heart.

His love for Jiang Yanan wasn’t just about him; it was the pride and dignity of two men that he was carrying!

But now, Jiang Yanan had been taken away by someone else. How could he not be in pain?

What should he do?

When in doubt, seek Brother Ma.

Cui Yu ran to the back row for help: “Brother Ma, Brother Ma, it’s a Jianghu emergency!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Longlong pulled out two pieces of paper and said with an air of righteousness:

“Take these and use them!”

Wang Longlong was usually quite generous. A few pieces of paper didn’t matter to him; he liked to win people over with little favors.

He knew that sooner or later, these small acts of kindness would come in handy.

Cui Yu pushed the papers away: “It’s not about the papers.”

He lowered his voice: “Brother Ma, Jiang Yanan just ran off with another guy!”

Ma Shicheng heard this and said, “Longlong, before school lets out at noon, I want all the information on that guy.”

He handed his phone to Wang Longlong.

“No problem, Brother Ma!” Wang Longlong immediately got to work.

Cui Yu was quite satisfied: “Thanks a lot. I’ll wait for your news and treat you guys to some Coke later.”

Actually, this task wasn’t difficult; if Cui Yu made an effort, as long as he dared to ask around, he could definitely get information on that guy. But definitely, it wouldn’t be as detailed as what Brother Long could gather.

Cui Yu left the back row and, returning to his seat, unlocked his phone, planning his next move.

He fancied himself unequaled in intelligence, beating his enemies with the simplest and most convenient methods.

He pondered, once Wang Longlong got the information, how he’d take that guy down. That way, the only one left who liked Jiang Yanan would be him.

He could leisurely win over Jiang Yanan and fulfill the dream he and Meng Gui once had.

Thinking this, Cui Yu turned his head and glanced at the burly Pang Jiao, his eyes suddenly sparked with an idea, thinking how great it would be if he could get Pang Jiao to take action.

Just like the last time they dealt with Shen Xinli.

With one move from Pang Jiao, Shen Xinli had to take leave from school to recuperate, showing how powerful she was.

How great would it be if Jiang Yanan’s suitors could receive such treatment in the future.

Unfortunately, Cui Yu couldn’t get Pang Jiao to do his bidding, and he felt that Pang Jiao was like a Meteor Hammer – if mishandled, it could easily cause collateral damage, which he didn’t want to suffer.

Cui Yu was lost in his thoughts, but he kept his eyes on Pang Jiao.

Pang Jiao didn’t notice, but she had several girlfriends. Zhang Yifei was not very attentive, but Wang Yan Yan was different.

Wang Yan Yan had been playing with her phone, her head lowered.

She had created an album on her phone specifically for handsome guy photos, with a collection of various styles and ages, from top-level celebrities to handsome schoolboys, all stored in the album.

She enjoyed browsing through them when she had free time, greatly lifting her spirits.

Perhaps out of loneliness, Wang Yan Yan had been flipping through her album every day recently, but she always felt like something was missing.

Until just now, she finally realized what it was!

She moved her selfies into the album, and now it looked just right to her.

It was then that Wang Yan Yan felt a gaze on her.

When she realized it was Cui Yu, she nudged Pang Jiao, signaling her in a subtle way.

After a long time of mutual understanding, Pang Jiao finished applying the last touch of bright red lipstick to her ample lips.

Then she put away her lipstick, recalling how during the last math class, Gao Heshuai had thrown a piece of chalk at Wu Xiaoqi, but accidentally hit her mouth instead.

Gao Heshuai had compensated her with a lipstick, and though he was ugly, Pang Jiao felt that his generosity with the lipstick showed real manliness.

If Gao Heshuai were not a teacher, Pang Jiao would be more than happy to be friends with such a man.

In comparison, the creepy boy staring at her like a simpleton, Cui Yu, was simply trash!

Pang Jiao’s eyes bulged massively like a cow’s, ferociously fixed on Cui Yu, frightening enough to make any child burst into tears.

Cui Yu snapped out of it and realized, all of a sudden, that he was under the intimidating gaze of Pang Jiao’s broad face.

“Ghost!”

Cui Yu jerked in his seat from shock.

The moment the word left his mouth, Pang Jiao roared, “Who are you calling a ghost!”

She half-rose, her large frame causing the surrounding desks to shake, and the mountain of books piled on the desk to tremble and slide off onto the floor, literally making the earth move.

Pang Jiao’s voice was loud, and classmates like Dong Qingfeng and Yu Wen turned to look their way.

Cui Yu, seeing how terrifying Pang Jiao was, immediately protested,

“I wasn’t talking about you!”

Pang Jiao’s eyes cut viciously at him a few times before she finally sat back down.

Yu Wen and the others, regrettably, turned their gaze away.

Cui Yu cursed silently in his heart: ‘That was bloody unlucky!’

And how could he not be annoyed?

Cui Yu was the type who defied the rules, daring enough to mess with Miao Zhe from class eight, so naturally, he saw no reason to be afraid of Pang Jiao.

The only person in class eight who he felt was truly frightening was Jiang Ning, as he’d witnessed Jiang Ning beat up others.

How to deal with Pang Jiao?

He remembered how Wu Xiaoqi had once clashed with Pang Jiao, almost coming to blows, only to be jointly suppressed by her and Zhang Yifei and the others, which he found amusing.

What a joke Wu Xiaoqi turned out to be! When Wu Xiaoqi first transferred classes, Cui Yu thought he was tough, going as far as to pick up a steel bar just for a few bad words said by classmates. Cui Yu had thought Wu Xiaoqi was a real tough guy, someone not to be messed with.

Now in class eight, Wu Xiaoqi was just a laughingstock!

Empty bravado, nothing more than a coward.

Cui Yu was sharp-witted, preferring psychological warfare over brute force.

For example, he enjoyed hiding Miao Zhe’s phone and giving him the runaround knowing Miao Zhe liked to play on it.

But this tactic definitely wouldn’t work on Pang Jiao, who unlike Miao Zhe — alone in class eight — had several friends and wide-eyed classmates throughout the room.

If he tried hiding Pang Jiao’s phone, it would be too difficult, and if discovered by Pang Jiao, the consequences were unimaginable.

As Cui Yu pondered his plan, he found himself absentmindedly playing with his phone, looking down to see a post about Pang Jiao and Zhuang Jianhui on the Fourth Middle School forum.

A sudden idea struck him—a perfect two birds with one stone approach!

Not only would it deal with Pang Jiao, but it could also thwart Jiang Yanan’s admirers.

‘You think you’re so tough, Pang Jiao? I’ll show you just how cruel the world can be!’ Cui Yu thought, laughing maniacally.

While the break wasn’t over yet, he darted back to the last row:

“Brother Ma, you were saying last time that we leave traces online when we use our phones to surf the net, and anyone savvy enough can track us down just by following our IP address.”

“And then you said, if we use VPN software, we can’t be tracked by our IP address.”

“Is that true?” he inquired.

Safety first when doing dirty deeds, that was his way of staying out of trouble.

Ma Shicheng responded, “I can only say, it’s likely to help you avoid detection, but I can’t guarantee it’s foolproof.”

He eyed Cui Yu and reminded him,

“Do something decent for once.”

Cui Yu shivered inside, quickly replying, “I am decent and only do decent things.”

Though he said that, Cui Yu figured it was worth a try, and chances of being traced were slim.

Hu Jun then said, “Going to Meng Gui’s house at night to watch movies, was that decent too?”

“You don’t know how decent I am. I recently found some great new movies online, with some fresh talent and popular teachers,” Cui Yu bragged.

Upon hearing this, Hu Jun suddenly asked,

“Got any of those… mature beauties?”

Eagerly awaiting the answer.

Cui Yu paused, giving Hu Jun a good look.

After pondering a bit, he replied, “Yeah, got those.”

Hu Jun couldn’t contain himself upon hearing it:

“Brother Cui, next time you bring Brother Nan to Meng Gui’s house, can you bring me along?”

“No ulterior motive, just looking to learn and broaden my horizons.”
