From Sidekick to Bigshot

And thus, Jian Yiling hoped that he would say something that he needed her help for. She wanted to have a fair trade with him.

Otherwise, she would feel that…

Hm… Jian Yiling didn’t know how to explain how she felt. She just felt that their relationship would be rather strange if she didn’t return the favors that he helped her with.

Now that Zhai Yunsheng knew her relationship with the Institution, he should know that she could do a lot of things. This meant that he could ask her for a favor that was more valuable to him.

Zhai Yunsheng looked at the girl in front of him. She had a stubborn expression on her face. He was angry, yet he couldn’t express his anger.

He couldn’t scold or hit her.

“Well, let’s get first place in the offline tournament then!” These words were squeezed out of Zhai Yunsheng’s teeth.

If he asked for anything less than this, Jian Yiling would not accept it as a request. She would say that he was half-heartedly asking her to do something for him. If that was the case, the request wouldn’t count.

However, if he asked for anything that was more than this, she would be exhausted.

The only thing she knew how to do was to stay up all night and work hard.

She was always doing something for someone.

Did she not want to grow taller? Did she want to grow old before she even grew up?

Silly girl! What even went through her brain on a daily basis?

When Yu Xi heard this request, his eyes lit up. His eyes were as bright as a 500-watt light bulb!

Was Master Sheng serious?

They were planning to win the ‘Zerg Invasion’ tournament?!

What?

For real?!

Originally, he was aiming to be in the top 20! He was already satisfied with such a ranking!

Jian Yiling skeptically stared into Zhai Yunsheng’s eyes. It was as if she was searching for whether or not this was actually the request that he wanted.

“You didn’t care about rankings before,” Jian Yiling replied. She questioned the authenticity of Zhai Yunsheng’s request.

Zhai Yunsheng enjoyed playing ‘Zerg Invasion’. However, he wasn’t obsessed nor addicted to the game.

It seemed as though he had a ‘playful’ attitude towards everything. He never really put his heart into anything.

“I asked for Yu Xi,” Zhai Yunsheng replied. He made it sound as though Yu Xi was responsible for such a request.

If Yu Xi had such a request, Zhai Yunsheng would help him fulfill it. It was reasonable for him to do so as he was Yu Xi’s good friend.

Yu Xi was so moved that he almost shed tears on the spot.

Originally, God Ling didn’t plan to attend the offline tournament. This meant that their team had to potentially forfeit their spot. However, Master Sheng had helped him ask Jian Yiling! He was incredibly grateful!

Zhai Yunsheng was indeed a good friend!

The next time he was at a ball, he would willingly be Master Sheng’s dance partner again!

Jian Yiling turned around to look at Yu Xi. She saw that Yu Xi’s eyes were filled with hope.

Yu Xi hurriedly begged Jian Yiling to agree to Master Sheng’s request: “God Ling, please say yes! Master Sheng and I are good friends! If you help me fulfill my wish, you’re indirectly helping Master Sheng as well!”

Yu Xi had picked up a bargain! He was so happy that he could hardly keep his mouth shut.

Jian Yiling thought about it for a moment before she replied: “Okay then.”

“Then what about your request?” Zhai Yunsheng asked Jian Yiling.

What exactly did the little girl in front of him want? Did she encounter a problem or something?

And thus, Jian Yiling asked about Jian Yubo.

After hearing this, Zhai Yunsheng’s face sank.

That’s it? That’s all she was asking him for?

After all this time, that was the only thing that she had thought about asking him about?

Zhai Yunsheng looked at the little head in front of him. He wanted to give it a good smack.

“Do you know about it?” Jian Yiling asked. Zhai Yunsheng hadn’t replied to her for quite some time.

“You’re thinking about how to fulfill a request of mine even if you don’t know whether I know information about Jian Yubo?”

What a silly girl! Would she even know that she was deceived by someone in the future?

“Well, even if you don’t know, it’s no loss to me.”

Jian Yiling felt that she had owed him a lot from before. And thus, even if Zhai Yunsheng didn’t know the information that she was asking him for, she wouldn’t lose out in their so-called trade either.

Jian Yiling’s words were rather pleasing to Zhai Yunsheng’s ears.

It was the nicest thing that she had said today.

“Well, you’re in luck. I do know stuff about Jian Yubo. Honestly, I think that it’s good that you know some things about him. If you know those things, you can stay away from him in the future.”
