Chapter 59

"Friend!"

Meng Zhangqing had long grown accustomed to Gu Hongyu's way of interacting, so he harbored no extraneous stray thoughts.

Besides, his attention was fixed on the panel.

"???"

Gu Hongyu was stunned.

She had thought of many things, but never this.

What exactly is a friend?

"Good heavens, you brat, actually wanting to be on equal footing with your old aunt!"

Realizing this, Gu Hongyu immediately placed her hands on her hips, her chest heaving with waves.

"I can't explain the specifics well; anyway, Auntie, just agree to be my friend."

After all, she was the person closest to him at present, and Meng Zhangqing was too lazy to expend mental energy concocting reasons.

He believed Auntie would agree.

"Alright... then."

Although this request was truly strange, seeing Meng Zhangqing's serious expression, Gu Hongyu frowned but agreed nonetheless.

After all, it was just a private verbal agreement.

It would have no impact.

However, having been away from home for two years, this boy had probably cultivated some strange hobbies.

Who wants to make friends with an elder?

No matter how you think about it, it's absurd.

"Ding!"

"Friend added successfully!"

"Current Affinity: Four Stars!"

"Attributes Obtained:"

"Comprehension: Superior"

"Talent: Spiritual Eyes"

"Martial Technique: 'Lingering Cold Moon Sword Sutra' (Perfected)"

"Secret Art: Palm-Lotus Sealing Magic"

In his mind, the system's voice kept sounding.

It was solely because Meng Zhangqing's mental fortitude was too high; otherwise, he would have immediately shouted out.

He had just added a friend, yet the affinity was directly pulled to four stars!

He had obtained four attributes in a row!

However, upon closer thought, it was also normal.

After all, Auntie was not some stranger met by chance; having grown up together since childhood, her high affinity for him was very reasonable.

The system's affinity limit seemed to be five stars.

Four stars was already very, very high.

At least among his current friends, none were this high.

The highest was only two stars.

"Thank you, Auntie."

Taking a deep breath, Meng Zhangqing suppressed his excited heart; "The night is already deep, so I won't disturb your rest."

Having said that.

Meng Zhangqing turned and left.

He could not wait to fuse the attributes.

The door stood wide open; the bright moonlight, like flowing water, slowly poured into the room.

Gu Hongyu stood in place.

She was somewhat confused.

She didn't even know what Meng Zhangqing was so excited about.

Was agreeing to become his friend really that joyful?

"Could this boy truly have thoughts that transcend ethics?"

Gu Hongyu couldn't help but think wrongly.

First become friends, gradually fade away the past aunt-nephew relationship, and then gradually develop in that direction!

If they were true aunt and nephew, all of this would be impossible.

But between herself and Meng Zhangqing, after all, there was no blood relation.

"My senior sister's son."

"Raised from infancy?"

Gu Hongyu shivered all over and quickly retracted this terrible thought.

But then again.

With the passing of age, this boy had indeed become increasingly handsome, very much like his senior sister.

Plus those perfect muscles.

He was truly full of manliness.

Clap clap~

Feeling her thoughts slipping out of control, Gu Hongyu slapped her own face to fully wake up.

Finally, she seemed to think of something.

It turned into a sigh.

She gazed at the moonlight outside the window and spoke softly.

"Senior Sister, although Meng Zhangqing's talent is average, it seems he has some luck."

"In the future, on the path of martial arts, he may achieve something."

"But he absolutely cannot contend with that colossal entity."

"Actually, I still hope he can remain ordinary forever, at least to live this life peacefully and securely."

"Without having to face..."
