Chapter 25
I don't care about the Clow Cards!
Message: Negative points from Cerberus +438
"Alright, I have something serious to ask you." Wang Changsheng rolled his eyes, no longer bothering to banter with Xiao Ke, and directly asked, "Kuro must have instructed you that if one day this Clow Book, which you are guarding, is opened, then the person who opens it will become the Clow Magician you have chosen, right?"
"So, are you planning to make Sakura a Cardcaptor Sakura?"
"You even know about this kind of thing?" Xiao Ke's eyes narrowed immediately upon hearing Wang Changsheng's question.
It knew that if it asked directly, the other party would definitely not easily explain its origins, so it simply tilted its head and looked at Wang Changsheng: "Looks like you brat, you really do have some background. But why are you asking this?"
A possibility suddenly popped into Keroberos's mind, and then it couldn't help but sneer, crossing its arms: "What, you don't actually want to become the Cardcaptor Sakura I've chosen, do you? Let me tell you, you're dreaming!"
As if she had finally seized an opportunity, Xiao Ke glanced at Wang Changsheng and let out a series of cold laughs.
"Heh, you nobody who popped up out of nowhere, all the information you have is just hearsay, right? You think you can get your hands on the Clow Cards? I think you're..."
Xiao Ke was speaking when Wang Changsheng interrupted her.
"When you're explaining to Sakura what Clow Cards and magic are, be careful with your wording. Don't be too dramatic and scare her. Otherwise, she won't help you capture the Clow Cards, and don't come crying to me for help then."
"Hmph, you want to beg me? Me?"
Xiao Ke crossed his arms. He originally thought that Wang Changsheng wanted him to choose him to inherit the Clow Book, but it turned out that he wanted him to keep his voice down when talking to Sakura.
This baffling action left Xiao Ke stunned on the spot.
Things aren't going as well as they expected.
This brat didn't come for the Clow Cards after all?
"You don't actually think I'd covet these broken cards, do you?" Wang Changsheng glanced at Xiao Ke. "Although I admit these cards are strong, I don't care for them."
"Just remember, your job is to properly teach Sakura how to become a qualified magician."
At this point, Wang Changsheng paused for a moment, then chuckled.
"Of course, you're not even a very good guardian beast, so I don't expect you to train Sakura to become a qualified Cardcaptor Sakura. I believe that with Sakura's own efforts, she will become an excellent magician."

"Pet food?" Looking at the system's prompt, Wang Changsheng nodded. "I was worried about what to feed my little Tiga, but now there's food, which is not bad."
"One piece costs me a thousand negative points? Damn it, isn't that highway robbery?! My magic fruit isn't even that expensive!"
While feeling a pang of sadness about his poverty, Wang Changsheng cast a malicious glance at Xiao Ke beside him.
Xiao Ke, who was completely bewildered, felt a chill run down her spine and shivered as Wang Changsheng stared at her.
"Alright, get out of here, I'm going home for a big meal." Wang Changsheng grabbed Xiao Ke and tossed it through the air in a perfect arc.
"Ah! This is terrible!"
Xiao Ke tumbled through the air, letting out a series of intermittent, lingering gasps of disbelief: "Hey! At least show me some respect—"
"Pia-chi!"
As Xiao Ke finished speaking, it bumped into a bookshelf and then floated down to the ground, looking pitiful.
Wang Changsheng didn't even look at it. He simply helped Sakura pick up the Clow Book from the ground, then turned and left.
"Hey, where are you going?"
"Hey! You kids, don't you even know what respecting the elderly and caring for the young means?"
"I'm much older than all of you!!!"
As Wang Changsheng left the underground library, he could still faintly hear Xiao Ke's shouts, but he ignored her and left directly.

"By the way, don't talk about me in front of Sakura anymore, or I'll show you what real pain is~"
The moment Wang Changsheng's figure left the underground library, his voice also faintly reached Xiao Ke's ears.
"You don't want me constantly nagging you, do you?"
As Wang Changsheng finished speaking, he also disappeared into the underground library.
Xiao Ke was left standing there, looking blankly in the direction Wang Changsheng had left.

Upon seeing the system's notification, Wang Changsheng couldn't help but smile.
He went to the kitchen and placed the Clow Book he was holding on the dining table.
"Sakura, I'll leave this book here for you. Remember to put it in your room later and don't let your family see it."
Wang Changsheng looked at Xiaoying, who was making a vegetable salad, and gave her some instructions.
The two then chatted for a while, after which Wang Changsheng took his leave and left Xiaoying's house.
After Wang Changsheng left, Xiaoying looked at the strangely shaped book on the table and couldn't help but sigh.
What kind of situation is this?
Is this a surprise that God has prepared for her on the first day of the new semester?
However, I didn't see any joy, only surprise.
And this shock was no ordinary shock; it was as if they had seen a giant hippopotamus crawl out of the hole in the outhouse and into the sewer.
absurd!
Utterly absurd!
"Sigh, no matter what, I was really rude this time. I must treat Xiao Wang better next time!" Shaking her head, Xiaoying started chopping vegetables.
After Wang Changsheng walked out of Xiaoying's house, he looked at the roads all around him that looked exactly the same and paused for a moment.
Immediately, he took out the flip phone that the butler had prepared for him and then called the driver.
"Hey, could you come pick me up?"
"Huh?"
