Chapter 27

At Su Chen's home, Su Father was sitting on the living room sofa reading a book, his gaze occasionally glancing toward the door, revealing his true thoughts.

Su Mother, meanwhile, was mopping the floor while glancing toward the door, her eyes occasionally showing anxiety and anticipation.

Ding-dong

The doorbell rang, Su Mother put down the mop, hurried to the door, saw Su Chen outside holding fruit, and tears instantly fell.

"I saw on my phone that an earthquake had occurred there, and I couldn't get in touch with you, it scared me to death, I heard that many people died there..."

Su Chen held the fruit in one hand and lightly patted Su Mother's back with the other, speaking helplessly: "Mom, I'm fine! It's only been a couple of days since we last saw each other, I'm not a child."

Su Chen spoke helplessly.

Meanwhile, Su Father would occasionally sneak a glance at Su Chen, as if afraid of being discovered, then quickly shift his gaze back.

Upon hearing this, Su Mother wiped her tears and said somewhat reproachfully: "You child, no word for a day, and you still complain I'm nagging? Hurry, I've saved you a meal."

While speaking, Su Mother pulled Su Chen toward the dining table, while she took his backpack and hung it up.

At that moment, a light cough came from the sofa.

Su Mother found it a bit amusing and pursed her lips at Su Chen.

Su Chen knew Su Father's temperament extremely well, walked to his side, opened his arms, and spoke softly: "Dad, sorry for making you worry."

"What do I have to worry about? A grown man can't have any problems."

Su Father's tone was cold, yet he still opened his arms and embraced his dear Su Chen.

At the dining table, Su Mother watched Su Chen wolf down his food while saying things like, "Eat slowly, there's still plenty; if it's not enough, I'll make you more… Chen'er, have you gotten a bit fairer? A bit taller?" and similar remarks.

Su Chen patiently recounted the events of the past few days, of course, all fabricated in advance.

After washing up, Su Chen lay on the bed and began to consider his plan.

First, he needed to strengthen Blue Star's power; he remembered that in his previous life, the government had concealed this for a long time, and only when it could no longer be hidden did they make it public.

Su Chen heard from his past life's master that the government acted this way due to its own difficulties.

But in this life, Su Chen didn't want them to waste any time; he needed to accelerate the process.

Thinking of this, Su Chen painstakingly pondered feasible methods.

After more than half an hour, Su Chen idly glanced at his phone, his gaze stopping on a video titled "Luoxian Shan: Professor Pang Takes You to Explore the Mysterious Cat-Head Immortal".

This video was a re-edit of a live broadcast, in which the protagonist turned out to be Su Chen, dressed in black and wearing a white cat mask.

Watching the video, Su Chen suddenly had an idea: live streaming.

The next day, Su Chen got up early, simply because he was still a student.

Su Chen got out of the car, shouldered his bag, passed through the gate of Qingshui Shi No. 1 High, and headed toward Class 33 of the senior year.

Suddenly, his spiritual sense faintly detected a familiar aura; his steps instinctively paused, then he resumed walking forward normally.

Yu Gu Mao gazed at the familiar figure not far ahead, lightly pursed her somewhat pale lips, clutched the book to her chest, and hurried toward Su Chen.

"Su Chen!"

Yu Gu Mao caught up to Su Chen, slightly out of breath, her warm exhalation mingling with a girl's fragrance that entered Su Chen's nostrils.

Su Chen instinctively twitched his nose, coldly looked at Yu Gu Mao, and said indifferently: "What's the matter?"

Yu Gu Mao listened to Su Chen's cold words, tightly gripping the book with both hands, her expression flustered as she began to explain: "Your previous feelings, I actually know them all,"

"but I don't want to delay my studies because of this; let's wait until we enter university..."

Hearing words identical to those from his past life, the delicate face before him suddenly evoked a hint of disgust in Su Chen.

He waved his hand to cut off Yu Gu Mao's upcoming words, speaking impatiently: "I think you've misunderstood; I used to like you, but now I feel you're right, and besides, it's too early to talk about the future now. If you're fine, I'll be going."

Before he finished speaking, Su Chen turned and was about to leave without even glancing at the dazed Yu Gu Mao.

Suddenly, his peripheral vision caught a fresh red mark on Yu Gu Mao's fair neck, resembling a wound that hadn't yet scarred.

Although she deliberately pulled up her collar, it didn't escape Su Chen's notice.

Su Chen halted his steps, furrowed his brow, looked at her, and asked: "What happened to your neck?"

Panic and fear flashed in Yu Gu Mao's eyes; she hastily pulled her collar up further, head lowered, and said: "No, nothing."

Su Chen kept observing her expression; seeing her fear, he faintly guessed something, didn't press further, merely gave a soft hum, then turned and left.

Yu Gu Mao recalled all of Su Chen's past actions, then thought of recent events, her nose felt sore and her eyes immediately reddened.

As if thinking of something, she wiped away the tears about to fall, her eyes showing determination, and walked toward the classroom clutching her book.

When Su Chen arrived, the classroom wasn't very full; he opened his English textbook and flipped through page by page, the formerly obscure words becoming simple in his eyes.

Just as if the mist before Su Chen's eyes had been suddenly cleared, after cultivating immortality, his five senses, physique, and spiritual sense were all enhanced.

As for the brain, if before it was like paste, after cultivation it became as clear as clear water.

However, further improvement of the brain would be minuscule, while everything else would be enhanced in sync.

Qin Ziyang looked at Su Chen sitting in the seat, recalled what happened two days ago, clenched his teeth in hatred, tiptoed to the back door and carefully approached Su Chen.

Qin Ziyang, who had reached behind Su Chen, raised his right hand to encircle Su Chen's neck and knock him down.

Su Chen slightly turned his head, dodged Qin Ziyang's arm, and calmly said, "Here!"

Qin Ziyang, seeing his ambush fail, immediately spoke dejectedly, "I was so careful this time, how did I still get discovered?"

Su Chen naturally wouldn't tell him it was his spiritual sense that automatically detected him; instead he turned his body to give a gap, allowing Qin Ziyang to pass.

Qin Ziyang struggled to walk past Su Chen, grumbling dissatisfied at him, "What exactly did you do last time? My dad beat me so hard! He used a belt…"

Su Chen, hearing this, felt a bit guilty and immediately said, "I'll treat you today at noon."

Speaking of treating, he thought of something: the System Space still contained a lot of gold and silver treasures, all given by the rescued girls' parents and Jia Hong.

Among them were some poor families, from whom Su Chen took nothing, but for the wealthy, Su Chen gladly accepted everything without reservation.

"This can serve as the initial capital for founding an academy."

Su Chen murmured softly.

Upon hearing Su Chen's offer to treat, Qin Ziyang became gleefully delighted again, completely missing Su Chen's murmuring.
