Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Do You Have Boyfriend?

Instead of shamelessly occupying the scholarship, even though she has enough money to pay off the school fees, and someone else needs the scholarship more than her, Gu Jin gave up on the scholarship immediately.

This move moved the third ranker’s heart and she befriended Gu Jin.

The third ranker was a person with a wide network and her name was Liang Bao.

With her taking the lead to befriend Gu Jin, many other people started to talk with Gu Jin.

Gu Jin remained cold the entire time, but whenever she thought that the other person wouldn’t be able to handle certain problems, she would help.

Because of this reason, the entire grade knew about Gu Jin, a cold-looking person with a warm heart!

There were still many people who looked down on Gu Jin due to her poor background but Gu Jin didn’t care about it at all.

No kidding if she kept on listening to other’s words would she still be able to live?

Gu Jin was in a very good mood today.

She was finally going to obtain a Plant Lumino today.

If nothing goes wrong then she will be able to advance to the Advanced Rank of plant element!

Advanced Rank!

Once she reached that stage, she would be at least 20% stronger than the rest of the mages in the entire world!

How could she not be excited?

Gu Jin went to pick up her Plant Lumino liquid and since she bought it all by herself, she had 3 portions.

Just as she was about to drink 6 drops, she heard the space’s voice,

"Master, why are you wasting money?"

"What do you mean?" Gu Jin asked with a confused expression.

"Master, even if you drink the entire bottle, you won’t be able to advance."

"Huh? Are you cursing me?" That was the first thought that came to Gu Jin’s mind.

"No master! I am just concerned about you!"

"Don’t beat around the bush." Gu Jin said with a lazy expression.

"That... the Lumino won’t work."

"Why?"

"Because it doesn’t have the poison and healing element drops." The space explained.

Gu Ji: "..." Why is life so difficult?

"Is it necessary? But I think I would be able to considering how I was able to advance from primary rank to Intermediate rank without any resources." Gu Jin argued in an unconvinced tone.

"Master, I am not lying to you. I think the cleansing that you did when you were captured by those bad guys, triggered some points in your body, and hence you were able to advance."

Gu Jin gritted her teeth and asked,

"So you mean I need to get a few drops of poison and the healing element Lumino?"

"Yes! Then you have to combine it like the Dark Fire Solar Vein."

Gu Jin asked,

"Do you know how to make a Mutated Plant Lumino?"

"Yes, master!"

"Okay!"

Hence Gu Jin next day informed the auction house to keep an eye on the poison and healing element Lumino and tell it her if someone was ready to buy it together.

The auctioneer agreed.

Gu Jin also received some more news.

"Do you know the orphans that had arrived last year? Uh...what was their name again...Rong...Rong Hui! Yeah! I have heard that she died."

"She died? How so?"

"I don’t know, maybe she was attacked by some creature!"

Gu Jin pursued her lips.

How could she not know Rong Hui?

She was the person who had tried to take away the Wheel Stone from her.

At that time she knew that Rong Hui won’t be able to last long and she was right.

Gu Jin shook her head.

It wasn’t her matter anyway.

In the blink of an eye, another 3 months passed away.

Gu Jin’s alchemy shop has become famous by now.

First was because of the quality and second was become of the quantity.

The shop’s success was attributed to the high quality and unique formulations of the pills she sold.

Gu Jin meticulously revised existing formulas and referenced numerous versions recorded in ancient texts to perfect her products.

One such example was the Fatigue Reducer pills, which typically caused drowsiness once their effects wore off.

Gu Jin had managed to find a solution, eliminating this side effect and significantly improving the pill’s effectiveness.

This innovation, along with others, cemented her shop’s reputation and drew in a steady stream of customers.

Gu Jin was delighted. Who would have thought that the side hustle which had started just 8 months ago would be so fruitful?

The shop’s income increased drastically when Gu Jin started to supply Yellow Rank pills.

Now she was able to get a monthly profit of 100 million! That was too after excluding the labor of cost, commission of Song Hancheng, and giving the dividends to the Elder of the alchemy tower.

One thing that bugged Gu Jin was the increasing number of missing cases.

Even after finding it for a long time, the police, the elders of the magic academy, and the higher authority didn’t find the culprit.

However, Gu Jin kept on feeling that they already had an answer, as to who was behind all of this but they were trying to protect the culprit or to reduce the chaos among the citizens.

Gu Jin got the Dark Fire Solar Vein and successfully crossed the threshold of primary rank.

Now she needed, poison, healing, fire, and dark Lumino liquid.

Just the mere thought gave Gu Jin’s headache.

As usual, Gu Jin accompanied the Shadown Fangs to complete the task.

Her bond with the members of the Shadow Fangs deepened.

At the same time, Gu Jin continued with Jasmine’s treatment.

What made her upset was the news that she kept on finding on the internet.

There was a post about Long Yifan and his sweet fiance.

Gu Jin could only feel angry and didn’t know how to vent it.

So she used the most crude way.

Extorting money from Long Yifan.

Let his heart bleed.

If she wasn’t uncomfortable, how could she let him live peacefully?

Gu Jin sometimes even selfishly requested for him to return to the mansion. Even though she claimed that it was for Jasmine.

Only she knew the truth.

She only had one goal. To see Long Yifan for one more time.

She was missing like crazy and as long as she could see him from afar she would be happy.

That is what Gu Jin said to herself but she was upset when she got to know that Long Yifan won’t return for the time being.

However, she perked up when she got to know that he was ready to video call.

A video call is good...she can at least take a picture of him!

When the call was connected, Gu Jin’s heart raced in anticipation.

The screen flickered for a moment before stabilizing, and there he was—Long Yifan, looking as composed and handsome as ever.

Her breath caught in her throat.

"How are you?"

"I’m well," she replied, trying to keep her voice steady.

"How are things on your end?"

Long Yifan smiled faintly,

"Good."

"I heard you were in seclusion...did I perhaps disturb you?" Gu Jin asked softly but her hand didn’t pause as she started a video recording.

"No." Long Yifan stared at the screen and for a moment Gu Jin felt that the video was lagging and asked,

"Hey? Am I visible to you?"

Of course, you are visible.

Long Yifan thought.

He couldn’t belive that within 6 months, Gu Jin would change so much.

Her face fat had faded a lot and she looked a lot more mature. More beautiful. More attractive.

Suddenly he asked,

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

Gu Jin was stunned,

"Huh?"

Her heart was beating like a drum.

Why did Long Yifan ask that question?

Did he perhaps? He is engaged!

How shameful!

Gu Jin scolded herself.

"No one."

"You are lying." Long Yifan said with a rare disapproval on his face.

Gu Jin felt a bit upset,

"I am not lying. And you are engaged, right? You should focus on your engagement rather than on me!"

Long Yifan froze when he heard Gu Jin’s words.

So she knew?

Strangely when he was getting engaged, he was only filled with one thought. Will Gu Jin stop loving me after this?

The mere thought was enough to make Long Yifan feel as if someone was stabbing a knife in his heart.

For a moment he even had a crazy thought.

Run away.

Run away from the engagement and ask Gu Jin to be with him.

He almost called Gu Jin and asked her to run away with him. But he held back the impulse.

He couldn’t ruin his fiance’s life. If he left her all alone on their engagement, then she would lose her reputation.

So Long Yifan could only put on a fake mask of smiling and walked towards the stage with his fiance.

During the ring ceremony, Long Yifan’s control reached its peak.
