Who says I can't become a Grand Master?

Chapter 63 The Plan to Intercept the Card "Necromancer"

The two sat side by side, chatting about cards and blind boxes.

My senior's running friends were passing through the horizontal bar area.

They all turned to look at them in surprise, and then the group bumped into each other.

They winked at each other from a distance and let out a low laugh.

Shen Nanzhi noticed her friends' gazes, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

She took a deep breath, feeling the atmosphere was just right, and perhaps she could take the opportunity to ask for his contact information:

"Junior, we..."

Before Shen Nanzhi could finish speaking, a familiar figure walked over.

Gu Xintong walked in, bathed in the summer morning light.

The clear light gently enveloped her, enveloping her in a soft halo.

She was wearing a beige tracksuit, and her long, smooth hair was tied in a high ponytail, which swayed playfully from side to side with her steps.

The girl had bright and beautiful features, and her skin was so white it was almost translucent. She exuded an elegance that came from a privileged family background.

"Zhang Qingzhe, what's wrong with you?" Gu Xintong walked straight up to him, her tone accusatory.

"What's going on?" Zhang Qingzhe asked, somewhat bewildered.

"As soon as the [Dream Simulation] ended yesterday, you left in a hurry without even saying goodbye to me."

"Oh... I had something urgent to take care of at the time."

"Everyone's laughing at me," Gu Xintong pouted.

"What are you laughing at?"

She hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't say it—

The beautiful young lady of the [Construction School] can't possibly say that her classmates spread rumors that she was pursuing the handsome young man of the [Energy Shaping School] and that she was mistaken for just another random guy on the street, can she?

"In short, it's all your fault," she said, a little annoyed.

"Okay! Leaving without saying goodbye was a bit much, I apologize!" Zhang Qingzhe said sincerely.

"Um!"

Gu Xintong nodded gently, accepting it so easily.

Zhang Qingzhe suddenly realized that this girl was actually quite easy to deal with.

If it were Ye Qingshuang, she would probably have already started making a scene by now.

Gu Xintong glanced at Shen Nanzhi, then gently beckoned to Zhang Qingzhe, signaling him to talk a little further away.

The two walked to the side of the playground.

"I can't go to the bubble tea shop for the next few days."

Gu Xintong said softly, her tone slightly reluctant, "I'm letting you know first, so you don't think I'm angry with you."

"What happened?"

"My family used divination cards to predict my fortune, and they said I might encounter danger soon."

Zhang Qingzhe's expression suddenly turned serious.

It seems that the visions I saw in the [Bird Divination Cards] coincided with the prophecy of Gu Xintong's family.

"I see."

"What do you understand? I don't really believe in this kind of 'prophecy'..."

"You'd better believe me," Zhang Qingzhe interrupted her, "because I've also seen similar glimpses of the future."

"Huh? What did you see?"

Zhang Qingzhe pondered for a moment and replied briefly:

"Your future looks bleak! For the next while, you'd better go straight home after school and don't linger outside."

"How bad is it?" Gu Xintong frowned her beautiful brows.

"Let me put it this way... I saw a really annoying man summon you from the card."

Gu Xintong shuddered and instinctively hugged her arms tightly as a chill crept up her back.

"Did you see who that man was?" she asked in a low voice.

"Look carefully."

"Who is it?"

"It's better if you don't know. Leave this to me."

"But can you handle it?"

That's a very important question.

Zhang Qingzhe originally thought things were simple—

All you need to do is get the [Necromancer] card beforehand.

But after yesterday's blind box ordeal, he realized he was still quite a distance from that card.

But Zhang Qingzhe still didn't want to give up.

Firstly, this matter concerns my younger sister's safety.

Therefore, he felt that he would only feel safer holding the [Necromancer] card in his own hands.

Secondly, it was, after all, a Level 7 card.

If I successfully intercept the prize, my strength will increase significantly.

From now on, I will be able to better protect my family and friends.

However, Gu Xintong's concerns are not entirely unfounded.

What if I fail to open the blind box and Kangping gets the card ahead of time?

Zhang Qingzhe pondered for a moment and then made the following guarantee:

"Since this involves me too, let me stop it first! If I fail... I'll tell you that person's name, and you can use your family's resources to handle it."

Gu Xintong nodded gently, then a new question arose.

"Can you see it that clearly in the [prophecy card]?"

"There are some parts that are hard to see clearly," Zhang Qingzhe paused, "but I can definitely see his face clearly."

Zhang Qingzhe said this because, during his hallucination, he couldn't clearly see the box's exact appearance.

That's why he bought the wrong blind box.

But this was enough to surprise Gu Xintong.

Cards from the "Prophecy School" usually only present vague illusions; it is extremely rare to find one that clearly shows a human face.

"That's already amazing!" Gu Xintong said.

"Maybe I really am a genius," Zhang Qingzhe shrugged.

Gu Xintong was amused and took a step closer, asking softly:

"So, was your haste to leave yesterday also because of this?"

"Yes."

"I see... Then it was my fault for blaming you without asking clearly earlier."

"It's okay, I have a problem too."

Gu Xintong lowered her head, her fingers gripping her tracksuit.

Her waist swayed gently with her breath, and her tone carried a hint of hesitation.

"Why...why are you helping me like this?" she asked softly.

"It's not entirely for you; my sister is also involved in this matter."

Gu Xintong looked up at Zhang Qingzhe.

The boy's eyes were clear and clean, without the slightest flicker or concealment.

She suddenly felt that the boy was a bit silly.

—If I hadn't mentioned my sister and had only said "it was all for you," I might have been fooled into falling for her.

This person really doesn't know how to seize opportunities.

However, Gu Xintong thought about it again and felt that this kind of clumsy honesty might be the most suitable for her.

Gu Xintong was very clear that although she was not a "witch", she did inherit some of the flaws of a "witch".

For example, he has never been particularly clever when it comes to relationships.

She felt she couldn't handle those sweet-talking boys.

But if the person in question is Zhang Qingzhe, then I wouldn't have to worry about being deceived!

Because no matter how you look at it, this guy is still "dumber" than me.

"Then... is there anything I can do?" Gu Xintong asked.

In fact, Zhang Qingzhe had been hesitating since last night, unsure of how to bring it up.

Since the other party asked him about it, he readily told him:

"Could you lend me some money?"

"Sure, how much do you want?"

"Twenty thousand."

After Zhang Qingzhe announced the number, he felt that it might be too much for a student.

So he changed his mind and said, "...less is fine too."
