Chapter 924

Su Han scanned with Observation Haki and sensed that Chi Tong, Hei Tong, and Lei Mu had all taken their seats.

He immediately stood up.

"Master! The issue of meals can wait."

"This time, I need to discuss something important with you!"

Ram shook her head, her expression "817"

Extremely serious.

"What is it?"

Su Han stared at Ram's face, a strange feeling stirring in his heart.

The underground caverns had already been resolved; there shouldn't be any new problems left. Aside from the underground caverns, what else could possibly require his attention? "... Do you have any recollection of the name Li Xuezhu?"

Ram asked.

Su Han's body froze. The name sounded familiar, but after a moment of careful thought, he forgot where he had heard it before.

Seeing Su Han's expression, Ram understood roughly and offered a quiet explanation.

"She was a hero of the Shannan underground cavern battle, and one of the leading figures among the current younger generation! I've observed her strength before—she's roughly at the Spiritual Energy Master realm."

"So why are you bringing up this person?"

Su Han looked at Ram with mild confusion. A leading figure of the younger generation—what did that have to do with them? It wasn't arrogance on his part; at his current strength, aside from those he knew personally, even Masters weren't worthy of his attention.

"... According to what she claimed! She is a person who traveled back from thirty years in the future."

Ram's sentence was cut short by Su Han's blunt interruption; his brows knotted tightly. "Ram, you're saying she's a person who traveled back from thirty years in the future—and not someone from this era?"

As he uttered the word "traveler," Su Han's expression instantly turned: extremely strange.

He suddenly recalled other travelers from his other mission worlds and immediately felt a twinge of dental pain.

Could he even get a traveler mission in the real world? As he thought this, Su Han closed his eyes and glanced at the main quest log.

Hmm. The main quest log remained calm—clearly, no mission had triggered.

"... This situation is a bit odd."

Su Han opened his eyes again, his gaze flickering. "System, can you explain this situation?"

After a brief silence, the System's cold mechanical voice replied, "A time-crossing traveler within this world is one of the world's self-rescue mechanisms.

It is identical to the President's own condition! Strictly speaking, it is not true time travel, but rather the world's consciousness implanting future possibilities into her mind."

Su Han paused, then nodded silently.

Identical condition—meaning she might also be one of this world's saviors. He was not the sole chosen protagonist. If Su Han had no System, hearing this might have stirred something inside him.

But with the Guild, his strength had already shattered the limits of the real world.

He no longer cared much about this point.

"... Master, what is your opinion on this?"

Ram, expression unchanged, lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed to Su Han. "I recently had Jarvis lock onto her location. If you distrust her or believe she harbors ill intent, I can eliminate her at any moment."

Before meeting Su Han again, Ram had clearly prepared for both possibilities.

Of course, Ram considered this perfectly natural—a true maid must prepare for everything in advance.

Only then, when the Master gives an order, can the maid execute it instantly.

Without delaying the Master's time.

Su Han reached out and ruffled Ram's hair, his voice gentle. "Don't talk about killing and destruction so casually. She isn't... my enemy.... Though, she's not our ally either."

After a moment's thought, Su Han asked again, "What did this person want from you?"

"Precisely speaking! Li Xuezhu wishes to meet you... but because of your... seclusion, she could only come to me! If you're willing to see her, you can meet her anytime."

To be precise, it is Li Xuezhu who wishes to meet you... but due to your... seclusion, she could only turn to me! If you are willing to see her, you may meet her at any time.

Though she used the word "seclusion," Su Han understood—it was merely a euphemism.

The real reason was... he was too reclusive. Or rather, his rare outings were all done via instant teleportation.

The real reason is... he is too much of a homebody, or rather, every rare time he goes out, he uses instantaneous teleportation.

"Then let's meet her."

Su Han lightly tapped the table with his fingers.

Another chosen protagonist selected by the Spiritual Energy world? He felt a faint spark of interest.

Another chosen destiny protagonist from the Spirit Energy world? He found this slightly interesting.

Ram opened her mouth, wondering whether they should go now.

"Eat first. She can wait. If she can't even wait this long and leaves immediately, then let her go."

Su Han patted Ram's shoulder. It wasn't him rushing to meet her—

It was she who sought him out.

He wasn't putting on airs, but waiting until he had time to meet her was perfectly normal.

Then Su Han took Ram's hand and strode toward the dining hall.

They entered the dining hall.

Then sat down and began savoring the delicious Chinese cuisine.

Su Han's gaze swept over Chi Tong and Hei Tong as he ate.

"... You two are quite impressive. You feel almost as strong as ordinary Masters!"

"They've both worked very hard!"

Ram, seeing Su Han shift the topic to Chi Tong and Hei Tong, nodded approvingly. "Though their realms are still far from Master level, with their various techniques, they can already assassinate Masters."

Chi Tong paused her eating, glanced at Ram once more, and her eyes revealed a complex emotion.

Chi Tong paused in the act of eating, cast another glance at Ram, and a complex emotion flickered in her eyes.

When Ram trained them individually, all kinds of contemptuous words kept arising.

But before Su Han, they lavished praise instead.

This stark contrast made Chi Tong's heart instantly become extremely complex.

Su Han gazed intently at Chi Tong's face; after a brief silence, he suddenly asked, "By the way... do you miss your companions, Chi Tong?"
