Chapter 327: The Zhang Suannai Disappearance Technique Reappears in the World

August 15th, evening.

Zhang Suannai and the two sisters stood on the side of the school road when a mini car with a fresh, light color scheme drove over.

Zhang Suannai hurriedly waved her hand.

"Hey!"

The mini car flashed its lights, then dove headfirst into a marked parking space on the side of the road.

Zhang Suannai rushed up impatiently.

"Long time no see!"

"Oh my, your hair has grown back?"

Chen Banxia responded with a beaming smile and got out of the car. She lowered her head to glance at the rear of the car, noticed a bit was outside the line, walked to the back, lifted the rear of the car, and nudged it in before opening her arms to Zhang Suannai.

The two of them hugged each other.

"Did you miss me?"

"Missed you to death..."

"After watching the gala tonight, shall we go out for some skewers and have a couple of drinks?"

"That's exactly what I was thinking..."

A few meters away, Ning Qing and Xiaoxiao stood by the sidewalk, the sisters looking at each other with expressionless faces.

The four of them started walking toward the Sports Field.

Chen Banxia and Zhang Suannai walked in front, chatting happily, while the sisters walked behind, silent and wordless.

"Suannai, what year are you in?"

"I'm one year ahead of Qingqing and the others."

"What year is Qingqing in again..."

"Qingqing is in the same year as Chen Shu."

"What year is Chen Shu in again..."

"You don't even know what year your own brother is in?"

"I don't know..."

"They are seniors, I'm a fifth-year."

"You're already a fifth-year!" Chen Banxia wore an expression of Surprise. "Doesn't that mean you don't have classes anymore?"

"No more classes. Many of my classmates have already gone out for internships." Zhang Suannai paused. "But I don't need to go out for an internship; I just need to find the Sword Sect to stamp my form. Cultivating in the Sword Sect counts as an internship."

"Then will you stay at school afterward?"

"..."

Hearing this, Zhang Suannai turned her head to look at her two roommates. Today, the big roommate had put on a dress even though she hadn't lost a bet, and the little roommate was exceptionally close to her because of the Iron Plate Squid Potato she had bought her this morning.

Plus the little sister by her side.

"I'm staying at school!"

Zhang Suannai grinned and wrapped her arm around Chen Banxia's shoulder: "How could I bear to leave you and go back to that godforsaken place, the Sword Sect."

Given her height, it was quite fitting for her to wrap her arm around Chen Banxia.

"Then what will you do after you graduate?"

"Haven't thought about it yet."

"Going back to the Sword Sect to cultivate with a focused mind?"

"Haven't thought about it, eh..."

"Then you can start thinking."

"I'll think about it when the time comes..." Zhang Suannai scratched her cheek. "I can't bear to leave you guys; I don't want to be separated from you."

"Then stay in Yujing. We'll drink every day and live a life of drunken dreams."

"Aren't you going to work?"

"To hell with work!"

"Refreshing!"

Zhang Suannai grinned immediately. After a while, she said again: "Let me tell you, over this period of time, my cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds. I plan to find your brother in a few days to have another fight and beat him up soundly. Do you want to come watch?"

"Why do you want to fight him?"

"Because I lost to him before, which made me lose face. I want to get my revenge!"

"..."

Chen Banxia frowned, turned her head to look at her little sister, and her expression turned serious: "You're already a fifth-year, graduating soon. Can you be a bit more mature?"

"What? What Chen Shu a bit?"

"Ma-ture!"

Chen Banxia emphasized it to her.

Zhang Suannai just went "Oh, oh," then blinked her eyes at her. That expression seemed to be asking: What is mature?

But she heard her ask: "Why do I need to be mature?"

This retort actually caught Chen Banxia off guard.

It sounded quite philosophical...

However, that was never the point.

Chen Banxia quickly cast these thoughts aside and continued to say to the little sister beside her: "I don't care if you're mature or not, anyway you are not allowed to find my brother to fight again. What if you break him? He still has to provide for my old age!"

"Hmm..."

Zhang Suannai took the opportunity to fall into deep thought—

It was true that her own cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, but Chen Shu, as the second greatest genius in the world who was only a tiny bit worse than her, was not bad either. Another fight would inevitably end in Zhang Suannai's victory, but she herself would likely not have a good time; the hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes that she had finally managed to regrow after using two tubes of Hair Growth Paste would probably be burned off again. And most importantly, given the extent to which her roommates were currently bewitched by Chen Shu, she feared that even if she won, she would only make her roommates feel even more sorry for that person, and it might even be as that "hey hey hey" had said—she would suffer a mixed tag-team beating from Chen Shu and her roommates.

At the mere thought that the roommates she had lived with day and night for three years might turn against her because of this, her heart felt unbearable distress.

"Since that's the case..."

Zhang Suannai pretended to hesitate: "Then, for your sake, I will spare him for now!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Banxia immediately narrowed her eyes, a sense of immense satisfaction rising in her heart—

Big sister has protected little brother once again!

It still has to be big sister!

At this moment, the four of them had already arrived at the entrance of the Sports Field.

Chen Shu was wearing slippers, shorts, and a short-sleeved shirt, standing right at the entrance waiting for them, with Ning Qing's little motorcycle parked to the side.

Zhang Suannai caught a glimpse of her little sisters beside her immediately breaking into smiles, and she quickened her pace to walk toward that person; when she turned her head again, she discovered that the gazes of her two roommates were also focused on him, and she couldn't help but reach out and scratch her head.

"Hey!"

Chen Banxia patted Chen Shu on the shoulder: "Oh my, who is this? Isn't this the gentle young man who sang at the school anniversary gala last night, stunned the audience, and kissed his girlfriend after stepping off the stage? What a coincidence!"

"You are so annoying."

"You're the one who is! You didn't even greet your big sister when you saw her! You don't show enough respect to your big sister!" Chen Banxia scolded, her gaze moving upward again, with the demeanor of a big sister, "Your hair is so long and you still won't cut it!"

"I just got back."

"Go cut it quickly!"

"We'll see."

"Hehe." Chen Banxia's tone immediately softened again, "Did you miss your dear big sister?"

"I did, do you believe me?"

"I'll deal with you!"

Zhang Suannai saw Chen Shu take two slaps from her little sister; this person had thick skin and ignored it entirely, then she looked toward her own little roommate:

"Did Xiaoxiao miss me?"

"I did!"

The docility and certainty in that tone were absent from the conversation she had with her earlier this morning.

"Brother-in-law, you didn't call me when you and big sister went to watch the concert last night."

"I forgot."

"!!"

"Haha, let me cook two meals for you as an apology."

"Then I want to eat cumin potatoes."

"Can do."

Zhang Suannai followed behind, eavesdropping while pondering in her heart—

Is it that I am lacking in culinary skills?

But she secretly peeked at them again.

Chen Shu was wearing shorts, Xiaoxiao was also wearing shorts, Chen Shu had come wearing a pair of slippers, and Xiaoxiao had only worn a pair of slippers when going out; both of them were in simple, loose-fitting T-shirts... Qingqing was also walking with them, and since Xiaoxiao looked very young, at a glance, they looked exactly like a family of three.

Zhang Suannai suddenly understood—

What she lacked was companionship that had lasted for over a decade, a deep involvement in the process of growing up.

"This..."

How could this compare to him.

Zhang Suannai furrowed her brows.

The group passed through the Sports Field and arrived at the Martial Cultivation Hall.

The sky was growing darker and darker.

The bright moon rose from the edge of the sky, pinned to the treetops.

Tonight was the official Mid-Autumn Gala.

Zhang Suannai had vast connections and had managed to get student IDs for both Chen Banxia and Chen Shu; although the people didn't match, the security guards wouldn't check carefully.

Chen Shu encountered that same security guard uncle from yesterday again; he smiled and nodded at him, shook the student ID, and went inside.

The time was now six-thirty.

The Martial Cultivation Hall was packed with people.

With leaders present tonight, there were more rules, and the seats were arranged in advance; which department and which class sat in which area was all planned out, so the method Chen Shu used last night wouldn't work.

However, it had to be said, Zhang Suannai really had vast connections—

She had secured five seats in the front row where the leaders and teachers sat.

"Haha, I was idle today and browsing the school forum; besides seeing posts about Chen Shu and Qingqing, I also saw people scolding you." Chen Banxia sat at the far right of the five seats with Zhang Suannai and said to her, "They said that you rely on your status as a Personal Disciple of the Sword Sect's Sword Master to form cliques in school, and that last night someone even used your name to cut in line unscrupulously and threatened others."

"Someone is scolding me?" Zhang Suannai was amused, "That's a good thing."

"..."

Chen Banxia chose to remain silent.

Students from the student union came over dragging boxes, handing everyone a Mooncake, an apple, and a can of soda.

Zhang Suannai, relying on being a fifth-year senior, had thick skin and asked for a few extra Mooncakes.

Behind them sat two young women who kept whispering to each other.

"I heard it was super hyped last night..."

"Yeah, yeah, so hyped... Did you see it online? That young brother who went on stage to sing is actually from Yujing Academy."

"He's from Yujing Academy?"

"Not only is he from Yujing, but he was also the overall champion of the Martial Body competition last semester, defeating our school's Zhang Suannai."

"So amazing!"

"Yeah, coming to our school's anniversary gala to sing and flirt with girls, tsk tsk..."

"But he really is very handsome!"

"And his singing is good too!"

Zhang Suannai bit into a Mooncake, her expression numb.

Yet her peripheral vision kept seeing that silly idiot Qingcai repeatedly placing his hand on Qingqing's leg; Qingqing would move it away, and he would put it back on... with so many people watching, and Xiaoxiao sitting right there too, he really was thick-skinned.

The gala began quickly.

Compared to last night, tonight was much more formal.

The stage effects were more exquisite, and the performers' acts were meticulously prepared; whether it was songs, dances, or other forms of performance, they surpassed last night in terms of brilliance and artistic quality. However, in terms of atmosphere, tonight was far inferior to last night.

Last night was a carnival party; tonight was an artistic feast.

Chen Shu still preferred last night.

So much so that he was still missing it endlessly.

At nine-thirty, the gala ended.

The nighttime temperature had become quite cool.

Chen Shu said to Zhang Suannai and Chen Banxia, "Qingqing and Xiaoxiao won't be returning to the Dormitory; we are heading back to the small courtyard. We aren't working tomorrow or the day after, so you two can come over to our place to eat. Go back and think about what dishes you want, and I'll go buy them tomorrow morning."

"Then I want to eat hand-shredded roasted rabbit!"

"I'll make it for you tomorrow night."

"Okay!"

Chen Banxia paused, then said to Zhang Suannai, "Then we won't go out for skewers tonight; let's drink until we drop tomorrow!"

"Awoo..."

Chen Banxia got into her car.

Zhang Suannai stood alone by the side of the road, her expression dazed.

When they came from the Dormitory, there were three of them; she hadn't expected that now only she would be left.

"We're leaving now!"

Chen Banxia shouted to her from inside the car.

"Awoo..."

Zhang Suannai stood where she was, waving at her.

"Then we're leaving too."

"Awoo..."

Seeing Chen Shu take Qingqing and Xiaoxiao across the road, the group turned back to look at her, and Zhang Suannai waved at them too, while her peripheral vision quietly glanced to the left.

A black off-road vehicle was driving over.

Even if she was the only one returning to the Dormitory tonight, her pose had to be cool.

This is it—

"Whoosh!"

The off-road vehicle drove past.

Zhang Suannai's figure disappeared from sight.
