“An Chen, I feel like my dad has been possessed recently.”
The next day at school, An Chen arrived a bit earlier than Ye Xinning this time, so Sun He sat in Ye Xinning’s seat and chatted with An Chen.
“Your dad, possessed? That can’t be, right?”
In reality, as Sun He’s classmate, An Chen had also met Sun Zhijun, which was why he chose to have Su Xiaojiu go to Sun Zhijun’s shop to inquire about the selling price last night, instead of going himself.
“It’s not exactly possessed, it’s just… he’s always smiling foolishly lately, and saying things like he’s going to let my mom and me live good lives in the future… it just feels very strange, you know?”
Sun He knew his own father best, and when he showed abnormal behavior, Sun He would be very sensitive.
Especially since Sun Zhijun had been a bit too strange lately.
“That’s fine, right? Maybe he made money in business?”
“Don’t I know what business he does? His reselling job only opens a few times a month. Although he makes a lot when he does open, it’s not enough to make a fortune in one go.”
An Chen’s mouth twitched.
Wasn’t it a fortune? It was all earned from him.
If Sun He knew that the person supplying his father and making him rich was himself, An Chen wondered what kind of expression Sun He would have.
“He’s been spending lavishly on things lately. He bought my mom several sets of designer clothes, and he ordered a custom-made suit for himself, and bought several ties, and even a box of cigars, saying it’s the taste a man should have. I even saw him picking out a new car yesterday!”
An Chen felt like he was supporting Sun He’s whole family.
“He’s really made a lot of money. I think you can pay more attention to your dad. Maybe in a couple of days, he’ll start looking for a house…”
Of course, housing prices in Nancheng were quite expensive. If he wanted to buy a new house, especially a better one, An Chen, this diligent mule, would probably need to bring back more good things from Jiuzhou.
“The key is, he makes money, and he buys these things, but he doesn’t buy anything for me!”
Sun He was almost crying, leaning back in his chair, resting against the backrest.
“Nothing at all?”
An Chen asked suspiciously.
Could it be that Sun He wasn’t Sun Zhijun’s biological son?
That shouldn’t be, right?
“It’s not completely nothing. He bought me a box of practice questions and mock exams. He said there were too many and too varied practice questions recommended online, and he didn’t know which were best, so he bought all of them, saying that if I finished them all, I wouldn’t have to consider which was good and which wasn’t…”
An Chen took a deep breath.
“At least that proves you’re his biological son…”
An Chen hadn’t expected Sun Zhijun to be so hard on his son.
Sun He shook his head, looking utterly dejected, but soon, he leaned closer and whispered:
“Hey, that thing I gave you last time, have you used it?”
“Not yet. I don’t really need to refresh my mind. I can stay clear-headed without that thing.”
Not only that, he could also maintain high concentration at any time, control himself from overthinking, and keep his mind in the clearest state possible.
“True… your brain structure seems different from others. But the effect I’m getting now is super great. Our whole dorm is incredibly energetic now.”
An Chen looked back again and saw that those few people were also very energetic today.
“So, one person attains the Dao, and the whole dorm ascends to heaven?”
“Hehe, pretty much.”
An Chen estimated that Sun Zhijun had kept a lot of that batch of Qingxin Grass Leaf powder for Sun He. He also recalled Sun Zhijun saying yesterday that he only had two Rejuvenation Pills, and he probably kept one for his family.
Ye Xinning appeared at the classroom door at this moment, her gaze slowly sweeping towards Sun He. Sun He quickly stood up and ran back to his seat.
Ye Xinning came over, sat down, and slowly spoke.
“Su Xiaojiu came to school with me. She’s probably gone to your house to find your master now. Have you seen her?”
“Just bumped into her, saw her.”
An Chen scratched his head.
“These two guys, they’ll really be old card buddies in the future.”
Actually, it wasn’t necessarily in the future; they might already be old card buddies now.
“It’s actually quite good. If these two stay at my house and play cards honestly, they won’t go out and cause trouble, don’t you think?”
An Chen nodded.
“That’s true.”
He had previously thought about teaching Su Xiaojiu how to play online games to keep her at home and prevent her from running around. Now that they were obsessed with playing cards, there was no need to teach her anymore; the effect was the same anyway.
Meanwhile, outside Ye Xinning’s house, Zhang Wei knocked on the door.
After a few days of observation, An Chen had a close relationship with the people in this household, but Zhang Wei couldn’t find any information about An Chen’s relationship with the owner of this household in the data.
He only knew that the owner of this household was a young girl and An Chen’s deskmate.
Now Zhang Wei was somewhat suspicious that the owner of this household, Ye Xinning, was also a Transcendent.
Moreover, the key observation target, Su Xiaojiu, had been coming here for the past two days, staying for at least a whole morning.
So he felt it was necessary to pay a visit.
If it was just Su Xiaojiu, he would have a good opportunity to interact with her alone. If there were other people in the house, he would just casually ask about the situation, then adapt as needed, and try to have more contact with Su Xiaojiu.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
Zhang Wei knocked on the door and then quietly waited for a response from inside.
“Hello, who is it?”
But it wasn’t Su Xiaojiu who opened the door, but an old man. The old man was hunched over, looking a bit unwell, but his face was kind.
Zhang Wei was startled.
This person seemed to have never appeared during the past few days of observation.
But after all, he was an old man, and it seemed quite normal for him to stay at home and not go out.
“Hello, is Su Xiaojiu home?”
Not sensing the Qi of a Cultivator from the person in front of him, Zhang Wei’s attitude became friendlier as he politely asked.
“You mean that little girl Ye Xinning who comes to our house every day? She’s home, she’s home! Are you looking for her for something?”
Zhang Wei nodded and casually said:
“I’m a family member of hers. She hasn’t been home or at school lately, so I came to look for her. I didn’t expect her to be here.”
“So that’s it. I was wondering why this girl didn’t need to go to school. Come in.”
The old man stepped aside and turned to walk into the house, calling out Su Xiaojiu’s name.
Zhang Wei nodded and followed him into the house, where he saw Su Xiaojiu standing warily in the living room.
“Hello, you should know me…”
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Wei suddenly found himself unable to do anything, unable to speak or move.
And then, everything went black…
