Chapter 152 Other Ancient Organizations

Zhao Yuxi and Gu Tingzhou bought an orange tree at the plant market.

"You've been staring at the orange tree for half an hour. Is there anything wrong with it?"

During this half hour, Zhao Yuxi used almost all the asymptotes and all her abilities, but she still didn't understand the source of the colors.

"I can't tell. Use your smart brain to help me analyze it and see if there is anything wrong with it."

Gu Tingzhou said indifferently: "If there was a problem, Zhang Haochen would not have given it to us."

"Controlling the opposite sex, separating the environment, placing colors, changing appearance, making wisteria trees grow to more than 20 meters high, making camellias bloom in summer, and making orange trees bear fruit in summer. Zhang Haochen's ability is extraordinary and not inferior to you and me. By the way, how many asymptotes do you have?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I'm just asking."

"You're not going to ask for the name of every asymptote, are you?"

"No, you just need to say the number. You don't have to say it if you don't want to."

Gu Tingzhu folded two orange leaves: "Two."

"Oh? Only two? Not bad."

When talking to Gu Tingzhou, Zhao Yuxi did not use her ability to distinguish true from false. She was just asking casually, but the question she asked was a little sensitive.

“Why is it good?”

"Because it is a mistake to seize someone else's asymptote. Zhang Haochen's mistake was not too serious. Her seven abilities may have originated from herself. In addition, the person who stole the seal and the file was probably her. Someone with these seven abilities can easily crush most of the deans of the branch schools."

"Can it crush you and me?"

"Not sure, but I'll definitely have no problem crushing you."

Gu Tingzhou took a deep breath and thought for a few seconds: "Zhao Yuxi, why have I never noticed that you have a high emotional intelligence?"

"Ah? This is easy to understand, because Ye Lianshi was wrong. My emotional intelligence is not high. Let's talk business. We found out the truth, but how do we write the work report?"

"Isn't it okay if you don't find out?"

"Will you help me cover up my lie?"

"Is not this nonsensical."

"Your six cities..." What Zhao Yuxi was most worried about was the whereabouts of the six cities: If these six cities were my "prey", I would suffer a loss and give them up temporarily, which would be easy. But I promised the six cities to Gu Tingzhou before I set off. Would Gu Tingzhou be willing to give up the territory that was about to be acquired?
"Let's put it with Ye Lianshi first."

"Great, the work report issue has been resolved. Thank you."

"You're welcome. I didn't do anything."

"It's precisely because you didn't do anything that I want to thank you. Have you ever thought about why Zhang Haochen stole the seal and files?" "I don't know."

"If what she wanted was power, she already got it. Her husband is the dean of the branch and the spokesperson. If what she wanted was strength, she got it. If what she wanted was the meaning of life, she got it. Seals and files have nothing to do with power, nor do they have much to do with the meaning of life. This may not be what she intended to do."

"Is there also an Ancient Organization behind her?"

"Almost. If a single Ancient One can marry the Dean of a branch, everyone will be happy. How could she possibly think of opposing the Institute?"

"Should I tell the dean about this?"

"Just give him a little hint. After all, we have no evidence to prove the existence of the organization. The director of the institute is not a fool. He can probably think of the organization behind Zhang Haochen. He gave me this task but didn't tell me how dangerous it was. I really should blackmail him for a few cities."

"Forget it. He didn't ask you to investigate the organization. It was you who wanted to think in this direction."

"Unless Zhang Haochen is not a normal person, she can't be so unscrupulous alone. No matter how the dean treats them, our next meeting with them means the truth will be revealed. I hope you and I won't be crushed by them. Fortunately, it is the dean who is hostile to Zhang Haochen, not us."

"That's right, let the dean deal with these troublesome matters."

"Well, now that we've finished talking about work, let me ask you a few questions. The first question is, do you think Zhang Haochen is good-looking?"

"She looks pretty. Like a little princess in a fairy tale."

"You are such a person... Since you answered like that, I have to change my second question. Zhang Haochen married Ye Lianshi for a purpose. The person she wants to marry is not necessarily Ye Lianshi. The deans of other branches are also qualified to be her mates. If she chooses you, will you marry her?"

The second question is much more serious than the first. Whether someone is good-looking or not can be observed with the naked eye, but whether to marry someone is usually not a casual decision, especially for someone like him who has no partner, it is difficult to give a negative answer at the first time.

"Take your time to think about it. I'll tell you about Zhang Haochen. Her mental age is not much different from her physical age. She is simple, but not stupid. Her asymptote has countless possibilities. From the outside, there is nothing wrong with what she does every day. She is very caring and capable at work. Moreover, she is very loyal to her marriage."

Even if Zhao Yuxi didn't say so, in Gu Tingzhou's opinion, Zhang Haochen is also a person with many advantages. For example, she speaks much more pleasantly than Zhao Yuxi. Or, she is innocent, gentle and considerate. Or, she treats others politely and generously...

After talking about Zhang Haochen's advantages, Zhao Yuxi did not let go of her problems: "However, Zhang Haochen joined a strange organization of ancients, became an enemy of the institute, stole seals and files, cultivated flowers and trees, and absorbed colors. Although most people cannot see these colors, she still enjoys doing it."

Weighing it this way, it seems that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages? Gu Tingzhu was shaken. He didn't want to listen anymore. He just wanted to answer the question immediately and then cover up the topic: "So if I meet someone like her, I should..."

"It's not a question of whether or not. Even if Zhang Haochen could bring danger to the whole world, she is unlikely to bring danger to her husband. She can create the illusion of happiness, and she can also create the truth of happiness, and the two exist at the same time. Maybe this is her ability, to make illusions and the truth exist at the same time, to deceive others, and also to deceive herself."

Gu Tingzhou was a little annoyed by what she said: "Your words are of no help to me, and even have a negative effect. When will you finish? You asked me a question, and I was ready to give you an answer, but you interrupted me!"
"Are you complaining to me about her?"

"You don't completely understand, classmate Gu Tingzhou. Zhang Haochen's vision is extraordinary. She can get the information we get from the research institute and the star master. The information she has can only be more than us, not less. She has no less creative ideas than us. This is a nearly perfect opponent, so perfect that it's annoying."

"It's not as scary as you say. I think she's okay."

"That's OK. Ye Lianshi doesn't think she's bad. I'll finish writing the work report tonight, so you don't have to write it. You just need to read my work report and remember the general content. If the dean asks about it, just don't mess with me. I'll take Xu Yingze and Mu Zhengguang to the research institute to get the seal tomorrow, and I'll also get my own seal. Will you come with me?"

"Anyway, we'll have to get the seal sooner or later, so let's do it together. You said you'd treat me to dinner, is that tonight?"

"Sure, you choose the place."
