Chapter 104: Unexpected Visitor

“In such a tense situation in Linjiang City, being able to rest peacefully shows commendable composure and courage.”“But whether he’s as exceptional as Yuebai said, that’s yet to be seen.”

The dark figure murmured to himself but chose not to disturb.

He came and left quietly.

After he left, the sound of wind breaking could be heard from the rooftop of a courtyard not far from the school.

It was none other than Luo Yuebai, flying in on his fan.

There was a hint of nervousness in Luo Yuebai’s eyes.

He glanced around the Enlightenment School.

Seeing that everything was still calm, a trace of doubt appeared on his face.

“Has that old guy been here or not?”

Luo Yuebai muttered to himself and headed toward the school.

Soon, he too stood on the kitchen rooftop.

With his strength, he could naturally sense that Su Jingzhen was in the quiet room.

But there were no signs of a fight, nor any traces of anyone having been there.

He relaxed completely.

“It seems the old guy was just trying to scare me.”

“Anyone I, Luo Yuebai, deem promising is bound to have infinite potential. Just wait and see, Su Jingzhen will amaze you all.”

After silently repeating this, he didn’t linger and left quietly.

Whether it was the first dark figure or Luo Yuebai’s later visit, Su Jingzhen was completely unaware.

He only felt that he had a very peaceful sleep.

He woke up naturally.

【Time left until host’s Dantian shatters: 492 days】

【Daily fixed points: Shuang Jiang: 15, Zhang Xiu: 4, Feng Qingya: 2, Luo Yuebai: 2】

【Remaining available points: 109】

Opening his eyes, besides the usual reminder, there were the expected daily fixed points.

Starting the day with twenty-three points was perhaps the direct source of Su Jingzhen’s good mood.

As long as there was no danger, just staying safe for four or five days would allow him to unlock the Labor Palace acupoint in his left hand.

Given his current state, having these four people empathetically connected to him, providing twenty-three points daily, as long as he stayed alive, he would only grow stronger over time.

If there were no special circumstances, Su Jingzhen’s personality would actually accept this way of living.

But he still wanted to stand before Shuang Jiang, and see sister-in-law Zhang Xiu and the others again. Seaʀᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

So he had to take the initiative.

“Today is a good day; it’s time to advance to a second-grade alchemist.”

Sitting up from the stone bed, after gathering his thoughts, Su Jingzhen walked out of the quiet room.

Facing the rising sun, he practiced two rounds of “Python Scales Power,” then casually tidied up his appearance and prepared to head to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

With fifty Qi-replenishing pills in hand, he had high expectations for the Breaking Through Adversity Pill ingredients.

But before Su Jingzhen could reach the door, there was a knock.

He raised an eyebrow, puzzled.

Who could be looking for him at this time? Was it still the persistent parents of his former students?

Or had the Evil Moon Sect already rebuilt their sect and were now celebrating?

Su Jingzhen was slightly puzzled, but when he opened the door, he was stunned.

Standing at the door were three people, none other than Yan Xia and her parents.

He had considered many possibilities, but he never expected it to be Yan Xia.

A failed matchmaking attempt was a normal occurrence for Su Jingzhen.

So, after a brief moment of melancholy on the day of the failure, Su Jingzhen had put the matter out of his mind.

As for Yan Xia, he merely regarded her as a passing acquaintance.

Seeing Su Jingzhen, Yan Xia’s face was somewhat uneasy and slightly blushing.

Her father, Yan Chixiong, and her mother were both smiling warmly.

“Fellow Daoist Su, long time no see~”

Su Jingzhen inwardly scoffed at this greeting.

Long time no see? Didn’t we just meet at the Huayang Sect square the day before yesterday?

But as the saying goes, you don’t hit a smiling face, so Su Jingzhen also smiled and nodded. He was curious to see what this family of three was up to.

After exchanging greetings, Yan Chixiong and his wife’s gazes fell on Yan Xia, encouraging her with their eyes.

“Yan Xia greets Fellow Daoist Su.”

Yan Xia slightly bowed to Su Jingzhen, her face turning even redder.

Without waiting for Su Jingzhen to respond, Yan Xia continued, “Earlier… Yan Xia had some misunderstandings about Fellow Daoist Su. If possible… please… please don’t take it to heart.”

If Su Jingzhen still couldn’t figure out the purpose of Yan Xia and her family being here, he would be a poor excuse for a transmigrator.

Before Yan Xia could continue, he said directly, “If Miss Yan is referring to our first meeting, I’ve long since put it out of my mind. Miss Yan need not worry about it.”

“Moreover, I’ve already married my heart’s Dao Companion. This matter is long settled, isn’t it?”

To think they wanted to mend a broken relationship—or rather, they never had a relationship to mend in the first place.

Seeing his potential, they now wanted to curry favor? It was too late for Su Jingzhen.

Even though he didn’t know that Yan Xia had been infatuated with Chen Jinshi and wanted to be his concubine just a few days ago, he now felt they were worlds apart and should have no further interactions.

Upon hearing this, Yan Xia opened her mouth to say something, but realized that anything she said would be futile.

In the past few days, Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang had frequently appeared together in public.

And it wasn’t just Su Jingzhen who shone brightly at the Huayang Sect square.

Although Yan Xia found Shuang Jiang’s scarred face repulsive, it didn’t stop people from thinking she and Su Jingzhen made a perfect match.

At this moment, Yan Xia began to waver.

Then, Yan Chixiong spoke up, “Fellow Daoist Su, it’s true that my daughter Yan Xia has not awakened her spiritual roots this time either. She indeed is unworthy of you. But if you’re willing, my daughter can be your concubine. I’ve heard from her that you were quite pleased with her before. Why not rekindle the old affection?”

Yan Xia was still somewhat bashful and reluctant to speak.

But seeing Su Jingzhen’s apparent distance, Yan Chixiong couldn’t sit still any longer. He laid his cards on the table, revealing their true intention.

On the day of the matchmaking, upon learning of Su Jingzhen’s broken Dantian, Yan Xia had been somewhat arrogant.

But now, in less than half a month, even if she wanted to offer herself for free, Su Jingzhen might not accept.

Truly, the twists of fate are unpredictable.
