30: Bingye, I'm more powerful than you think!

Building 5, Apartment 206.

Su Jun and Shen Bingye sat facing each other.

On the table were three plates of exotic beast meat, two plates of vegetables, and a small dish of pickles.

Both of them had their heads down, unsure what to say.

When they usually ate, Grandma was always by their side.

Grandma would also chatter about things from time to time.

This was the first time they had been alone together, without Grandma.

Therefore, both felt a bit awkward.

“Should I go call Grandma?”

Finally, Shen Bingye was the first to break the silence.

Su Jun looked up and found that Shen Bingye, who was usually a cool and aloof older sister, actually had a hint of panic in her eyes.

She went to knock on Grandma's door as if she were escaping.

“Grandma, come out and eat.”

“Alright…”

Grandma came out, leaning on her cane.

She looked at Su Jun with a hint of exasperation, as if saying he was not living up to expectations.

“Su Jun, what made you think of buying a gift for Ice Leaf, this little girl?”

Grandma decided to “assist” Su Jun.

But Su Jun said earnestly, “Grandma, it’s about reciprocating.

She gave me Qi and Blood Powder, so I’m returning the favor with some clothes, jewelry, and cosmetics.”

“You don’t have any other intentions?”

Grandma blinked at Su Jun, but Su Jun was momentarily stunned.

“Grandma, did you get sand in your eye?

Why are you blinking so much?”

“Yes… let’s eat.”

Grandma saw that Su Jun was a bit dense.

So, she temporarily gave up on the idea of setting them up.

For some reason, after hearing Su Jun’s reply, Shen Bingye’s expression remained normal, but her eyes dimmed a little.

Actually,

Su Jun wasn’t that dense.

Having lived with Grandma for many years, he naturally knew her intentions.

But Su Jun felt that some things were not appropriate at the moment and should wait until after the Wu Exam.

And so, the three of them ate their meal in silence.

“I’ll clear the dishes.”

Su Jun and Shen Bingye said simultaneously, and Grandma immediately smiled.

“Look, you two really have great chemistry!”

“This old woman will go back to her room first.”

After Grandma left, Su Jun and Shen Bingye, alone together, became a bit awkward again.

However, Shen Bingye was still the one who chose to speak first.

“Su Jun, if you have any questions about cultivation techniques or martial arts later, you can come to me.”

Su Jun nodded, then suddenly thought of something.

“Ice Leaf, actually, I might be even more powerful than you imagine.”

Shen Bingye was startled.

This was the first time Su Jun had called her “Ice Leaf” since they were adopted by Grandma.

She felt that the current Su Jun was somewhat different from before.

As for how he was different?

Shen Bingye couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

“More powerful than I imagine? How powerful could you be?

You, just focus on your cultivation.

If you don’t understand something, ask, don’t be embarrassed.”

Shen Bingye said earnestly.

Then, she suddenly, as if possessed, blurted out, “Don’t put your energy into dating in the future.”

Su Jun was stunned.

Shen Bingye had never said anything like that to him before.

Shen Bingye then realized her slip of the tongue and quickly tried to mend it.

“I mean, the Wu Exam is coming up, so focus your energy on the Wu Exam.”

“Okay!”

Su Jun nodded.

After they finished washing the dishes, Shen Bingye returned to her room to consolidate her knowledge.

Su Jun did not stay at home.

Instead, he went to the corridor to eliminate some pests and increase his Lifespan.

Lifespan + 0.5.

Lifespan + 0.7.

Lifespan + 1...

This building had been in disrepair for many years.

And the sanitation conditions in this building were also poor.

So, in a short while, Su Jun accumulated 100 points of Lifespan.

Compared to the Lifespan gained from slaying exotic beasts, the Lifespan gained from eliminating pests were much less.

But even a fly's leg is still meat.

Accumulating small amounts into a large sum, it could also contribute to Su Jun’s participation in the Wu Exam later, and his pursuit of the first place.

Add points!

[Qi and Blood: 912]

[Lifespan: 0]

“Huh?

Isn’t this where the person wearing a baseball cap and long sleeves just now lives?”

Su Jun looked up and realized he had reached the end of the corridor.

“Oh, isn’t this Su Jun? You have a lot of energy today?

Actively cleaning?”

Auntie Wang from the second to last house was just going out to dump trash. Seeing Su Jun, she asked with a smile.

“Yes, I felt the corridor was a bit dirty, so I’m cleaning it.”

“What a good child. It would be even better if your Qi and Blood were higher.”

Auntie Wang sighed with some regret.

Her niece studied at Sixth High School.

Auntie Wang knew through her niece that Su Jun’s Qi and Blood was only 35 points.

Su Jun didn’t explain either.

Instead, he thought of something and asked curiously, “Auntie Wang, I just saw a strange face enter this house. Is it a new resident?”

Auntie Wang shook her head, “Not exactly a new resident. They moved in a couple of weeks ago, but they haven’t shown themselves much.

Sometimes I knock on the door to bring some fruit, but no one answers…”

Auntie Wang was the type of neighbor who loved to gossip, and in a short while, she had said quite a lot.

Finally, someone called out for mahjong.

Auntie Wang then left, still wanting to talk more.

Su Jun showed a thoughtful expression.

Moved in recently…

Rarely seen during the day…

Strange attire…

No matter how you analyze it, this person is problematic!

However, Su Jun did not act rashly.

First, he didn’t know the person’s identity.

Second,

He couldn’t determine his strength.

It was better to report this matter to Guan Ping.

Meanwhile,

Inside the room at the end of the corridor, the curtains covered the window.

From the outside, it was impossible to see what was inside.

In the innermost room, a desk lamp was on, and a tall, thin man was staring at a document on the table.

Ning Xiyue.

Ye Qingge.

Zhou Yuan.

Qin Huanhuan…

Shen Bingye’s name was also on it.

And Shen Bingye’s name was circled in red pen.

Ding-a-ling~

The tall, thin man’s phone rang.

After he answered, a low voice sounded from the other end.

“Have you found the Neon Country spy who infiltrated the building and is targeting Shen Bingye?”

“Not yet, we are still investigating.

I want to use the unusual attire to draw him out!”

“The plan is good. You must catch the spy and ensure the safety of Shen Bingye’s family!”

“Yes!”

…

Emperor Capital Luxury Garden.

“Good!

I’ll call Zhao Song right now to sound him out and also mention Su Jun’s bad behavior!”

After hearing Shen Wei’s suggestion, Shen Qiang immediately dialed Zhao Song’s number.

When the call connected, Shen Qiang smiled broadly, “Hello, Principal Zhao, this is Shen Qiang.”

Principal Zhao’s voice on the other end was calm, “Something wrong?”

“Principal Zhao, come to my house tonight for a gathering, have some drinks?”

“No time, I’m currently in a meeting with a high-ranking official from Jianglin Base.”

Principal Zhao thought Shen Qiang was looking for him for something important.

But it was just for a meal?

According to Principal Zhao’s temper when he was in the military,

He would probably have given Shen Qiang a good scolding.

Shen Qiang, Gu Mei, and Shen Wei all showed joy when they heard Principal Zhao’s words.

It seems the rumor was true!

Principal Zhao was indeed using his connections.

To obtain a quasi-third-grade martial art for Sixth High School’s top talent!

“Anything else? If not, I’ll hang up.”

“Principal Zhao, I have one more thing to report.”

“Speak!”

Principal Zhao’s voice carried a hint of impatience.

“Principal Zhao, I heard from Wei Wei about what happened in the testing room today.

Su Jun’s Qi and Blood reaching 153, and his punching power of 1453.5 kilograms, must be problematic!

He definitely tampered with the Qi and Blood instrument and the strength tester’s parameters.

Principal Zhao, you must teach such a bad student a lesson.”

After Shen Qiang finished speaking, he couldn’t help but show a hint of triumph.
