Chapter 29
Lei Wujie Kneels and Bows: Brother-in-law, please accept my bow!
"Dreaming? Ha."
Su Changqing heard Xiao Se's voice, which was off-key due to excessive shock, but he just smiled faintly and did not explain.
A journey through a mystical realm?
He had already reached that level when he first transmigrated and awakened the system.
He has long since transcended the boundaries of the martial arts world and touched upon the higher-dimensional "Tao".
However, there's no need to explain this to a bunch of ordinary people.
Maintaining an air of mystery is what makes a truly sophisticated person so classy.
"Let's go, the show's over, time to go home and cook."
Su Changqing patted the sunflower seed crumbs off his hands, picked up Xiao Nuomi who was still playing with flower petals, and jumped down from the roof.
Xiao Se took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and followed.
But at this moment, the look in his eyes as he gazed at Su Changqing's back had changed from awe to an almost fanatical worship.
We must hold on tight to this powerful figure!
……
Your Excellency Dengtian.
As the shower of flowers dissipated, the onlookers who had been scared away gradually returned.
After all, gossiping is human nature. Even if you almost lost your life just now, you can't help but want to see how things develop.
Li Hanyi had already gracefully descended from the top of the pavilion.
She wasn't wearing a mask, and her stunningly beautiful face still had a lingering blush.
She first glanced at her unfortunate younger brother who had hung himself on the railing, and after confirming that he was not dead, she ignored him and walked straight toward Su Changqing.
And Lei Wujie...
This guy is practically unkillable.
Just moments ago, it was covered in blood from being cut by flower petals and hanging on the railing like a salted fish, but now it has crawled out of the ruins full of energy.
His red clothes were tattered, as if he had just escaped from a refugee camp, but this could not hide the light in his eyes.
That was... the light of discovery of a new continent!
"Brother-in-law!!!"
Lei Wujie roared, his voice echoing across the surrounding area.
Immediately afterwards, he charged straight at Su Changqing like a red cannonball, ignoring the gazes of everyone around him.
"Thump!"
With an incredibly smooth knee slide, his knees scraped against the floor, leaving two streaks of sparks, and he stopped precisely at Su Changqing's feet.
"Brother-in-law! Dear brother-in-law! Please accept my bow!"
Lei Wujie grabbed Su Changqing's leg, his face, still covered in dust, filled with adoration and fanaticism.
"That was amazing! Absolutely amazing! What was that move called? 'Chopstick Kung Fu'? Or 'One Finger Piercing the Sky'? Teach me! I want to learn it too!"
The entire audience erupted in uproar.
"Holy crap? This kid calls Boss Su's brother-in-law?"
"Doesn't that mean... Boss Su is really Snow Moon Sword Immortal's husband?!"
"It's confirmed! Absolutely confirmed! This is confirmation that he's her biological brother!"
"Who would have thought that the lazy boss who only knew how to sunbathe was actually such a terrifyingly powerful expert! He could pierce the sky with a single chopstick!"
The murmurs of the crowd buzzed like flies.
Su Changqing's lips twitched as he looked at the oversized accessory on his leg that he couldn't shake off no matter what he did, with a look of disgust.
"Let go."
Su Changqing said coldly.
"I won't! Unless you take me as your disciple!"
Lei Wujie resorted to shamelessness.
"Brother-in-law, look at my extraordinary physique, and I'm your brother-in-law, what a coincidence! Please teach me that chopstick-throwing skill! I want to learn that!"
"Which one do you want to learn?"
Su Changqing looked at him with a half-smile, "That move requires extraordinary comprehension and a calm mind. A simpleton like you, whose brain is only filled with muscles, can't learn it."
"I'm not stupid! I'm very smart!"
Lei Wujie retorted, "Although I lost to my niece just now, I was... I was letting her win!"
"Yeah?"
Su Changqing raised an eyebrow.
"You can't even beat a three-year-old, and you still have the nerve to call yourself smart? With your IQ, you've basically given up on cultivating immortality."
After saying that, Su Changqing exerted a little force, and his leg muscles twitched.
"Bang!"
Lei Wujie felt an irresistible force coming from him, and he was directly blasted three meters away, rolling twice on the ground before stopping.
"Ouch!"
Lei Wujie rubbed his backside and got up, looking aggrieved. "Brother-in-law, you're too cruel! If you don't want to accept it, you can just accept it. Why kick me?"
"No, I won't accept it. Too stupid."
Su Changqing retorted mercilessly, "Besides, when I accept disciples, I consider both first impression and intelligence. You don't fit either of those criteria."
Seeing Lei Wujie's face instantly fall into a grimace, Su Changqing found it somewhat amusing. Although the kid was simple-minded, his childlike innocence was quite rare.
"However..."
Su Changqing changed the subject, "Since you called me 'brother-in-law' so smoothly, I'll give you a 20% discount when you come to my tavern from now on."
"20% off?!"
Lei Wujie's eyes lit up, and he instantly became happy. "Really? Drinks are discounted too? The best drink..."
"That one isn't discounted, and you can't afford it," Su Changqing interrupted ruthlessly.
"Tch, stingy."
Lei Wujie muttered something, but he was secretly delighted.
Although I didn't learn any divine skills, I've gained such an awesome brother-in-law. Won't I be able to roam freely in the martial arts world from now on?
At this moment, Li Hanyi finally came over.
She first glared fiercely at Lei Wujie, her eyes seeming to say, "I'll deal with you when we get back," which scared Lei Wujie so much that he quickly shrank behind Xiao Se.
Then, she turned her head and looked at Su Changqing.
The once cold gaze softened instantly the moment it met Su Changqing's.
The scene from just now still lingered in her mind.
The charm of that chopstick, the domineering power of that sword.
If Su Changqing hadn't intervened in time, her out-of-control "Moonlit Evening and Flowery Morning" move might have really caused a disaster.
It will not only destroy the Dengtian Pavilion, but may even hurt Nuonuo.
It was he who shielded her from everything.
It was he who, with that seemingly casual yet invincible demeanor, protected the city and the mother and daughter.
"that……"
Li Hanyi walked to Su Changqing's side, lowered her head, and unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes with her fingers. The usually domineering Snow Moon Sword Immortal actually showed a bit of girlish shyness at this moment.
The surrounding air seemed to turn pink.
Seeing her like this, Su Changqing's heart skipped a beat, but he pretended not to hear her: "Huh? What? The wind was too strong, I didn't hear you clearly."
Li Hanyi bit her lip, raised her head, and saw Su Changqing's image reflected in her eyes, which were as clear as autumn water.
I said…
Li Hanyi landed gracefully, blushing as she glared at Lei Wujie, then walked to Su Changqing's side and whispered, "Thank you... just now."
Su Changqing smiled and said, "We're family, why are you talking like family? Come on, let's go home and eat. I'm starving."
