Ordinary observers in fast time travel

"Wait!" A soft shout came from outside the cafeteria. The people who were about to leave looked over in confusion and saw about seven or eight people coming. The leader was dressed in an expensive suit and had an arrogant air about him.

"Junior Shi Jia, I am Lu Tiancun." The man with the domineering CEO aura looked directly at Shi Jia.

"Um, hello, what can I do for you?" Shi Jia raised an eyebrow. Was he trying to recruit him into the team again? When did he become so charming?
Shi Jia thought to herself, but her eyes swept over Lu Tiancun and the others. They looked somewhat like senior Lu Tianxue.

"Junior Brother Shi Jia, I have something important to discuss with you. Let's talk in private." Lu Tiancun's words sounded more like an order than a question.

"Fifth brother, your attitude doesn't sound like you're discussing this." Lu Tianxue's tone was sarcastic, clearly showing her disdain for Lu Tiancun.

"Oh. My second cousin is here too." Lu Tiancun looked like he had just noticed her.

"Fifth brother, I'm not trying to be mean, but you should take some time to see an ophthalmologist. Otherwise, you can't see people every time, and people will laugh at our Lu family for not being able to afford a doctor!" Lu Tianxue's gentle and bright demeanor vanished, replaced by a harsh tone.

Lu Tiancun's face also turned cold, looking like he was about to devour someone. "Second cousin is as sharp-tongued and sarcastic as ever. If second cousin were willing to spend some of the time she spends practicing her verbal skills on dressing up, she wouldn't be so hard to spot in a crowd."

Shi Jia was dumbfounded. Where was the domineering CEO? Where was the gentle older sister? How could she be so down-to-earth?
He looked around at the people, only to find that everyone had an expression of indifference, and some even took out sunflower seeds to crack open.

"Ahem, please excuse my poor appearance, Junior Brother Shi Jia." The speaker looked somewhat familiar. Shi Jia subconsciously turned to look at Liu Zhan, then at the person in front of him.

“Junior, you’re not mistaken. I’m Liu Yuan, Liu Zhan’s cousin,” Liu Yuan said with a smile. “We’ve come to see you because we have something very important to discuss, but it’s not a very convenient place to chat. Shall we find a quiet place first?”

Shi Jia thought the person in front of her was not bad, and noticing the gleaming eyes of the onlookers, she was about to nod.

"Liu Yuan, are you trying to poach someone? Let me tell you, Shi Jia has already signed a contract with our Qinglan team." Seeing Liu Yuan approaching Shi Jia, Liu Zhan knew something was wrong and quickly pushed through the crowd to get to Shi Jia's side.

"So Junior Shi Jia has already signed a contract with the Qinglan team?" Liu Yuan looked somewhat disappointed.

Shi Jia nodded, "Yes, Senior Tianxue is very sincere in accepting my offer."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Liu Yuan triumphantly, "So, you don't need to waste your energy."

Shi Jia felt somewhat embarrassed after hearing this.

Liu Yuan didn't seem to care at all and smiled, "Although it's a pity that Junior Shi Jia can't join our Greenery Team, our Greenery Team has always respected the choices of all capable people."

"Hmph, good to know." Liu Zhan had an expression that said, "Since that's the case, why don't you hurry up and leave?"

Liu Yuan continued to look at Shi Jia, "Junior Shi Jia, I just had someone reserve a private room on the fourth floor, we..."

"Wait, didn't you say you respected Shi Jia's choice? What are you trying to do now?" Liu Zhan asked warily.

“Junior Shi Jia, we’ve come to see you for something else.” Liu Yuan glanced at the two who were about to finish their bickering. “Tian Cun, go up to the fourth floor.”

"Wait, what can't we talk about here?" Liu Zhan didn't dare let Shi Jia stay alone with the Green Team, especially his cousin.

Shi Jia also looked at Liu Yuan, "Senior Liu Yuan, yes, if you have something to say to me, just say it now, I still have to go to the library later."

Liu Yuan frowned, then heard Lu Tiancun say, "I've taken a liking to your spirit sword. Name your price." His tone was domineering and commanding.

"Tiancun!" Liu Yuan glared at him angrily. The latter, who had been arguing with Lu Tianxue, became even angrier upon seeing Liu Yuan's reaction. "Boy, it's your good fortune that I've taken a liking to your spirit sword. Don't push your luck." Shi Jia looked bewildered, Liu Yuan was so angry he almost vomited blood, Liu Zhan was dumbfounded, and Lu Tianxue gloated.

Liu Yuan took a deep breath. "Sorry, that guy's got a screw loose. Just pretend he doesn't exist."

Shi Jia didn't even have time to get angry; in fact, he found it a bit funny, so he wasn't angry at all. He nodded, "It's okay, but you guys are talking about spirit swords? But I don't have a spirit sword."

He had already forgotten the spirit sword he manifested this morning. Since he had handed the spirit sword over to his teacher after it was manifested, and then had a three-hour brainstorming session in the afternoon, it was normal for him to experience some intermittent amnesia now.

Seeing that his expression didn't seem fake, Liu Yuan was speechless. How could someone forget that he had manifested such a powerful spiritual sword? After a while, she finally spoke, "This morning, it's the professional assessment for the spiritual weapon class."

"Oh, oh." Shi Jia slapped his forehead, a little embarrassed. "Sorry, I forgot. You said you wanted to buy my spirit sword? That's not a good idea. It's just an ordinary sword." He instinctively wanted to refuse, not for any other reason than that this was the first spirit sword he had ever manifested.

"Junior Shi Jia, you probably didn't watch Teacher Dai Qing's test, did you?" Liu Yuan asked.

Shi Jia shook her head.

“Your spirit sword is outstanding. Although it’s only a green-tier spirit sword, it has the attack power of a blue-tier spirit sword, which is quite rare,” Liu Yuan said. “If Junior Brother Shi Jia is willing, our Green Will Team is willing to pay 50 blue crystals to buy it.”

"50 pieces of cyan crystal?" Someone noticed what the two were saying and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

That's 45 million!
Upon hearing this, Shi Jia shook his head, "After all, this is the first spirit sword I have manifested..." He wanted to go and see his spirit sword, but unfortunately, Teacher Dai Qing would only announce the test results tomorrow.

"100 pieces of cyan crystal!" Lu Tiancun said impatiently. If it weren't for Liu Yuan holding him back, he would have already taken the plunge himself.

“嘶！100块青晶？90万！那究竟是什么灵器？我记得绿阶武器最高也卖到50万，那还是因为那件灵器作用特殊的缘故，普通绿阶灵器也就3、40万。”

"No, it's not about the price. The important thing is that this is the first time I've manifested a spirit sword, and I still don't know its exact specifications." Shi Jia shook his head.

“150 pieces of green jadeite!” Lu Tiancun glanced at Shi Jia. “This price is the highest among all green jadeite. Don’t push your luck.”

Liu Yuan was speechless. He hadn't offended anyone like that. He quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "Junior Shi Jia, don't take it to heart. Just pretend he doesn't exist."

"Hey, Liu Yuan, what do you mean—waaaah." That's right, Lu Tiancun's mouth was covered.

Before Shi Jia could even get angry, Liu Yuan extinguished his anger. He even wanted to laugh, "It's okay, Senior Liu Yuan."

“Junior Shi Jia, think it over. Lu Tiancun is right. In Green Jade, the only team that can afford to pay such a price is our Green Intent Team,” Liu Yuan said.

Shi Jia was a bit annoyed. He had made it so clear, so why was he so persistent? There were plenty of green-grade spiritual artifacts outside that were comparable to green-grade ones.

Just then, two panting people ran over. "Time God, we've finally found you!" They were two classmates from the Spirit Weapon Master class.

"What's wrong?" Shi Jia asked, puzzled.

"Something has happened to your spirit sword. Teacher Daiqing is looking for you."

"What? Something happened to my spirit sword? What happened?" Countless images flashed through Shi Jia's mind: the spirit sword exploding, breaking, going out of control, and so on. But the image that finally settled in his mind was the one he feared most: the spirit sword gradually becoming transparent and disappearing! (End of Chapter)
