63: Chapter 63 Little scumbag, is he treating me like a little kite?

Teacher Su nodded. "I believe him. Even if there's no future for us, I'm willing to die with him!"

"You!" Ling Xiangjun was choked up with anger by her words.

But at this moment, she already had a plan in mind and no longer dwelled on such small matters, lest unnecessary complications arise.

Then, softening her tone, she said, "I can give you three years. I can help cover for you with your father."

"But if after three years he still can't satisfy your father, then don't blame your father for being heartless."

Three years? Teacher Su wanted to say it wasn't necessary; with Xiao Zhuo's abilities, why would he need three years?

But she didn't want to put pressure on Yun Zhuo, so she nodded. "That's what you said."

Ling Xiangjun smiled slightly. "What, you don't even believe your own mother's words?"

...

In the large garden below the villa, Yun Zhuo sat bored on a bench soaking up the sun, glancing up at the small garden upstairs from time to time.

Yun Zhuo had been a smoker in his past life and thought he had quit in this one, but now that he was bored, he actually felt the urge to smoke again.

Subconsciously, he patted his pants pocket—nothing.

At this moment, he actually missed Teacher Wu a bit.

That guy smoked, and he smoked yellow bird tower at that.

Thinking of yellow bird tower made Yun Zhuo's hands itch, because the filters of yellow bird tower had flavor beads; popping them was very stress-relieving.

While he was bored, his gaze swept across the distance, and he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure flashing through the woods.

The corners of his mouth curled up into a secret grin, and he followed with light steps.

Bypassing the splashing fountain and passing through the tangled branches of the flower bushes, he finally intercepted the figure by a Roman column of the pavilion.

Timing it perfectly, Yun Zhuo rounded the other side of the Roman column. Just as he poked his head out, he came face-to-face with Su Qingtang, who was walking back as if looking for someone.

"Teacher Su, who are you looking for?" Yun Zhuo spoke with a smile, his eyes filled with a mischievous look of asking something he already knew.

Su Qingtang was startled by the sudden voice. She subconsciously raised her hand to her chest and took half a step back, only sighing in relief after seeing it was Yun Zhuo.

But just as she relaxed, her cheeks flushed red instantly. She stammered for a long while before squeezing out, "I... I came to see if you had left yet..."

Before she could finish, her toes were curling so hard in her shoes she could have dug out a three-bedroom apartment. She hurriedly lowered her head in embarrassment, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Heavens! What's wrong with me? Even if it's love at first sight, I shouldn't be so infatuated with this kid!

Technically, this kid is Little Yuan's War Spirit Master. To think I'd actually come looking for him like I'm possessed... if word got out, it would be mortally embarrassing!

Yun Zhuo smiled slightly and gently tilted her chin up with his finger, teasing, "You have so little faith in your man? Since I promised you we'd come together and leave together, I'll definitely keep my word."

Su Qingtang stared at him blankly. She felt this posture was very awkward, yet she couldn't find the heart to resist.

"No, I... it's not what you think."

Seeing her shy appearance, Yun Zhuo was so captivated that he subconsciously leaned in and gave her a kiss on her cherry lips.

Su Qingtang's eyes widened instantly. This—this scumbag! Having Little Yuan wasn't enough, he actually dared to kiss me!

This is my first kiss! How could you do this?

At this, even the tips of her ears turned red.

This isn't right. I should kick him to death, or at the very least, give him a slap.

Yes, a slap. If I kick him and break him, Little Yuan will be the one who suffers in the end.

Just as she raised her hand, Yun Zhuo looked at her and asked, "What are you doing?"

He never thought Teacher Su would hit him, because Teacher Su never hit people; she only pinched. If not for his strong recovery ability, his body would have been covered in black and blue bruises from her pinching.

Su Qingtang wanted to say: I'm going to beat you to death, you little scumbag.

But facing Yun Zhuo's focused gaze, the words inexplicably changed as they reached her lips: "You... you have a leaf in your hair."

"Oh, really? Then help me take it off."

Heavens, what on earth am I doing?

Her right hand was gently removing the leaf from Yun Zhuo's head, while her left hand was clenched so hard the veins on the back of her hand were bulging.

Just then, footsteps sounded from a distance, and Su Qingtang instantly snapped to her senses.

"Someone's coming."

Yun Zhuo subconsciously looked back. Su Qingtang turned to leave, but Yun Zhuo grabbed her. "What are you afraid of? Haven't we already laid our cards on the table?"

Su Qingtang only then realized that this little scumbag had mistaken her for Little Yuan.

But if she pointed it out now, how embarrassing would that kiss just now be?

So she made up a lie. "I have something to do. I'll come find you in a bit."

"Then hurry up. I'll miss you if I can't see you."

Su Qingtang didn't look back, thinking to herself: Smooth-talker. This must be how you tricked Little Yuan into your hands.

Just as she left, Yun Zhuo saw Ling Lifeng coming from the direction of the woods.

"Maternal Uncle, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Ling Lifeng saw Yun Zhuo and smiled. "Oh, it's Xiao Zhuo. Why are you here alone? Where's Little Yuan?"

"She's with Mom."

Ling Lifeng was stunned for a moment. This kid really knew how to take an inch and give a mile; in just a short while, he was already calling her 'Mom.'

He didn't stop to think—could a commoner like him really climb the ladder to a Prestigious Clan like the Su Family?

Setting everything else aside, take the Heaven Rank talent they prized so much. The probability of Awakening was small, and they thought they could soar to the heavens once they did.

They didn't realize that so-called Heaven Rank Geniuses, when placed against a population base of billions, were awakened in significant numbers every year. In the eyes of a top-tier clan like the Su Family, they were no different from lackeys.

You know Chen Qi, right? For someone like him, tormenting a Low Grade Heaven Rank War Princess to death would be child's play.

At the mention of Chen Qi, Ling Lifeng suddenly remembered something and asked, "Xiao Zhuo, did you go to the Temple of the God of Wealth yesterday?"

Second of the Ling Family and Ling Lingwu both knew this couldn't be hidden. Not admitting it would only make him suspicious.

So Yun Zhuo nodded. "Yeah, the place I agreed to meet Chen Kun was the Temple of the God of Wealth."

"Then did you see Chen Qi? Chen Bo's cousin. You should know him."

"I know him. Are you saying he went to the Temple of the God of Wealth yesterday too?"

Ling Lifeng nodded. "Just as you walked out of the Temple of the God of Wealth carrying a shipping container, someone saw him walk in right after."

"Maternal Uncle, you're not eyeing my little bit of corrosion crystals, are you?

Wait, don't you still owe me two hundred million corrosion crystals?

I've already done what you asked regarding kidnapping Chen Bo. Now isn't it time for you to fulfill your promise?"

As soon as Yun Zhuo reached out his hand, Ling Lifeng hurriedly pushed it down.

"Don't talk nonsense, kid. When did I ever tell you to kidnap Chen Bo?"

"I knew you'd go back on your word. Fortunately, there's surveillance in the training room. How about we watch the VCR together?"

"You... Right, I came to tell you that the Qi Family knows everything about your business with Wu Song. If you can contact Wu Song, tell him to leave Dawn City quickly and not come back."

"Heh, the Qi Family is really stingy. They got five billion corrosion crystals and they're still eyeing the one box Teacher Wu took."

"What five billion? It's fifty billion! Qi Peng and I didn't even get a single hair; the whole place was cleaned out."

"No way!" Yun Zhuo looked at him in shock.

"What do you mean 'no way'? Please drop the 'way.' This time, not only did Qi Peng and I fail to get that fifty billion from the Temple of the God of Wealth, but even the vault Chen Kun hid in the small town was swept clean by that kid."

If before he had suspected Yun Zhuo for the disappearance of that fifty billion, now his only remaining suspect was one person—Chen Qi.
