CHAPTER 51: CHAPTER 45: HONORING THE DEPARTED (PLEASE RECOMMEND)

After returning home, Su Yue found that the landlord and Liang Youxin were also at home, and they congratulated him repeatedly.

After politely declining their suggestion to celebrate at a big hotel, the two tactfully took their leave.

Su Yue asked Su Jianjun to fry a few simple dishes.

Mapo tofu, pickled fish, and spicy chicken cubes.

And a side dish of peanuts with aged vinegar.

Simple and plain, just a small celebration.

Su Jianjun, young as he was, was a tough one.

While buying fish, there was a promotion, but the vendor wasn’t enthusiastic and wouldn’t help with the slaughtering.

He actually brought it back alive, knocked it unconscious in the kitchen, and handled it neatly.

His series of actions were smooth and flowing, even Su Yue admired him.

This kid, was he a master chef fallen to earth in his past life?

Before long, with the perfect cooking technique, three dishes were served.

There were too many peppers in the spicy chicken cubes, with hardly any chicken pieces, but it didn’t matter much.

"We’re moving tomorrow, do you have anything to bring, Su Yue?"

Su Jianzhou asked.

With Su Yue’s score of 18 cards, there might be some secrets in his room, something he needed to handle himself; they wouldn’t disturb each other’s space.

"I don’t have much; let’s buy new bedding, and the bed is broken too, so replace it with a new one."

Su Yue thought for a moment.

Apart from two boxes of silver needles and a few Qi Blood Pills, he had nothing at all.

"Okay, sure.

"Since Su Jianjun is on vacation, we can stroll around the furniture mall tomorrow."

Su Jianzhou nodded.

In the furniture mall, a wheelchair can go, it’s quite convenient.

"Hmph, didn’t realize it, but that Liang Youxin has some conscience. He offered my dad a job as a logistics manager at one of his hotels, with a salary of over 8,000 a month."

Su Jianjun said.

"Logistics manager, that’s not bad."

Su Yue nodded.

This kind of work typically involves coordinating supplies and staff, the manager doesn’t need to do labor themselves.

Jobs that are both lucrative and leisurely are usually filled by the boss’s nephew.

The landlord wanted to help Su Jianzhou find work, but his company didn’t have any positions for disabled people yet.

Liang Youxin was indeed helping out.

"Haha, Liang Youxin is just a businessman, snatching other people’s business is normal, it doesn’t mean he’s utterly evil.

"Some people, you harm them once, and they’ll resent you for a lifetime. Similarly, some people, you help them once, and they might thank you for a lifetime. Being human is complex, we can’t judge purely by good and evil.

"Having more friends means more ways, the landlord is a wise person."

Su Jianzhou chuckled.

Su Yue recalled Dr. Jiu Mao again.

Was he a bad person?

Yes.

Absolutely, there’s no room for excuses.

Not one of our kind, they must have a different heart.

Even his birth faction destined him to be utterly evil.

Cutting him a thousand times wouldn’t be enough to satisfy the people’s hatred.

However.

His ideology was hair-raising.

Who would have thought that such a villain sought peace, trying to find a win-win solution for two races, and even had compassion for the common people of Earth.

His heart was falsely compassionate, but his means were bloodstained and sinful.

He could sacrifice everything, including his life, all for the noble ideal of great good for both races.

Until his death, he never thought he was wrong, instead, he continually moved himself.

Su Yue found such people more terrifying, more complex, harder to fathom.

Those with white eyebrows and pink cheeks must have already fled back to the Wetlands.

Su Yue’s situation was special; he dared not mention being captured to the Investigation and Arrest Bureau.

...

Late at night.

Su Yue ran to the Desolate Mountain to continue training, after all, the Yangxiang Race had already left.

Unfortunately, just after warming up, two Martial Artists in camouflage uniforms suddenly appeared.

They actually recognized Su Yue.

After expressing some praise for his promising youth, they directly instructed Su Yue to return to the city.

The Military Department was already investigating the Yangxiang Sect’s matters, and it was dangerous here.

Su Yue could only return to the city disappointed.

So boring.

It’s really inconvenient to practice rugged steps in the city.

After returning, Su Yue went all out, inserting all nine silver needles into his body.

The weight of 180 pounds almost made him vomit blood.

Back then, Xiong Taiguang’s advice was to bolster all after reaching 20 cards.

But Su Yue didn’t want to wait.

With his body weight, Su Yue now weighed over 330 pounds in total, and felt particularly steady, like a tank, even his shoes felt some strain after a few steps.

He found a rougher and more isolated place to continue practicing high jumps.

Given his weight, it was easy to damage the asphalt on the road.

He took off his shoes, went barefoot.

The shoes couldn’t take it, even AJ couldn’t take it.

As expected.

With the added weight of 180 pounds, Su Yue could only jump under 2 meters each time, even with effort.

It should be known, in a completely relaxed state, he could barely jump 10 meters.

Su Yue’s rugged steps actually had a certain failure rate.

This is the difference between forcing it and being well-executed.

Jumping with weights now was to continue adapting his Qi Blood to jumping within his body.

Su Yue had to make his forced actions become skillful.

...

Reward points available: 116 points

Reward counter:

1: Sleep Exemption

2: The Price of Love

3: Save Your Dog’s Life

4: The Difference Between Man and Ghost

Qi Blood value: 18 cards

...

Su Yue remembered when the system saved his life, it was 77 points.

Training with 180 pounds inserted, the increase in reward points wasn’t slow.

If he could keep training like this, reaching 20 cards was hopeful.

With a week until the potential class started, perhaps there was a chance to push for an extra card achievement.

cards.

The admission threshold for the Four Great Martial Arts Academies.

He actually completed it a year early.

Of course, it’s not something to be complacent about.

The admission threshold is just the lowest score.

Xu Baiyan once said that many of the freshmen at the Four Great Martial Arts Academies enrolled directly as Martial Artists, with many surpassing 20 cards.

Can’t slack off.

...

Cengyan City’s funeral home.

Today, the funeral home welcomed countless high school students.

They came to mourn their fellow students.

As the top scorer in the joint exam, an outstanding youth, Su Yue had to participate in this kind of memorial service.

Actually, Su Yue should come.

He personally witnessed the deaths of these people, and unfortunately, he was powerless to help them, so he should send them off.

The principal of the second high school was also there.

His eyes were full of bloodshot, very tired and haggard, probably suffering from insomnia.

Due to the frequent activities of the Yangxiang Sect members in Renqing Province, the Governor was cooperating with the Military Department to investigate the evil cult members, thus having no time to deal with him.

But everyone knew, the principal’s future days would not be easy.

The grieving relatives cried heart-wrenchingly.

Su Yue was really a bit scared; if he died, would Su Jianjun cry like that too, and how heartbroken would Uncle be.

What about his father in prison?

And the sister who suddenly appeared, perhaps she would also feel sad.

She definitely would!

Some people, with just one look, feel very close.

The first time Xu Baiyan saw him, she hit him, and although Su Yue was uncomfortable, he had an intuition that this person was not ordinary to him.

She was the daughter in his father’s heart, and also the long-lost sister, that type of feeling in her eyes, genuinely caring for him, Su Yue could feel it.

Therefore, he couldn’t bring himself to hold a grudge.

Which sister doesn’t tease her brother and then give him a candy afterwards? This genuine sibling love is hard to describe in words.

Would my girlfriend be widowed because of me?

Oh, wait, I don’t even have a girlfriend.

Depressing.

Li Xingpei consoled the relatives of the deceased, and promised that the Governor’s Mansion would surely catch the perpetrators, and the Admiral’s Mansion also symbolically offered some financial compensation.

The money wasn’t much, the Admiral’s Mansion had no choice.

The government had strict budgetary expenditures, and these deaths were considered accidents, not martyrs, theoretically, the Admiral’s Mansion didn’t have to compensate, but Li Xingpei couldn’t bear it.

Su Yue secretly noted these families’ addresses.

If one day, he earned a lot of money, he must compensate them a little.

After all, those people died in front of him, with unwilling eyes likely also worried about their families in their last moments.

"I’m sorry."

Su Yue bowed to the corpses.

He really couldn’t report what happened that day.

Moreover, the mastermind Dr. Jiu Mao was already dead, the other two evil cultists likely fled overnight.
