In the morning, when Jian Chen opened his eyes, a hint of brightness flashed between his eyes, then it disappeared and was replaced by a hint of disappointment.
"I originally thought that one hundred spiritual stones were enough to break through several times, but it turned out to be not enough. Just one breakthrough, and it was over. If I want to continue breaking through, it seems like I will need a lot of resources in the future.” Jian Chen slightly sighed helplessly when he found out how poor he was now.
"Brother Chen..."
When Jian Chen got up, he immediately heard Su Mei's voice which turned out that the girl had woken up a long time ago and was always paying attention to him.
Sitting at the dining table with some breakfast that she had prepared, Su Mei's smiling face looked different than yesterday, Jian Chen didn't know where the difference was, but he felt that Su Mei today was better and more passionate than before.
"Are you finally better?" Jian Chen asked while sitting at the dining table.
This time there was a small smile of pleasure when Su Mei heard Jian Chen's question. "I'm fine, even better than before."
"It was incredible."
Jian Chen was very happy with Su Mei's condition and didn't care about the reason why she looked fine this morning, which was even better than before. For him now, the most important thing was that Su Mei was fine.
“Right,” Jian Chen who was about to start breakfast stopped and looked at Su Mei. "I'm going to take the money from yesterday's mission to Bai Shen, do you want to come?"
"Um..." Su Mei seemed to ponder Jian Chen's invitation for some time, but ultimately she shook her head without giving him a definite reason.
But Jian Chen probably knew the reason, it was trauma, a very deep trauma when you were the only different person in the crowd.
Jian Chen also still clearly remembered that when Su Mei appeared in the crowd and ended up being the most eye-catching person among them all, the insults, insults and so on were something that could not be controlled. with that kind of trauma, it's better to stay at home.
"Now that I think about it, it seems like you should stay at home."
"Is brother Chen going again?" When asking this, Jian Chen very clearly heard the fear and worry between her words.
Of course Jian Chen knew of her concerns, and smiled gently to reassure her.
"Don't worry. Previously, Wang Lee and his dogs had suffered quite a big losswith the poison I explained to you yesterday, it is estimated that they will also not be able to wake up within seven days, so you don't need to think about it."
"But... What about the other subordinates?"
Jian Chen continued to give him a gentle smile and very confidently said, “I have already warned them in a bad way, I also firmly believe that cowards like them will no longer dare to come.”
"Even though...." Su Mei suddenly lowered her head, no longer wanting to discuss it and started playing with the food on her plate.
Seeing her like that, Jian Chen felt a little guilty, but he also couldn't take Su Mei out when he himself wasn't sure he could stop other people from harming her, let alone protect Su Mei.
Like it or not, Su Mei would be better off at home for now. alone at home, Jian Chen certainly knew very well that this girl would feel lonely and not know what to do.
"Oh... Right!" Jian Chen suddenly remembered about the leftover spiritual stone from Shao Da and took it out. "If I'm not mistaken, there are probably still a hundred more top-grade spiritual stones inside. Well, since you'll be home alone, use them all to train. Don't you want to be alone all the time?"
Jian Chen gave the storage bag to Su Mei and forced her to take it by saying, “I have to be honest if I am already at the third level of qi training, so I am already qualified to take the Sect examination, and since you are still at the second level, it seems like you Can'twith me again."
"No!" Su Mei was suddenly struck by Jian Chen's words and immediately took the storage bag he handed over.
For no apparent reason, the girl also started giving Jian Chen angry looks. "I don't want to separate from big brother Chen, and since big brother Chen is already at the third level of qi training, then Su Mei will be the fourth level!"
"Ooh... Are you finally going to practice?" Jian Chen had a happy smile on his face.
"Hum." Su Mei seemed to snort in annoyance and turned her head away from Jian Chen.
Seeing her like that, Jian Chen couldn't help but reach out his hand and start stroking her hair.
"Alright, since Su Mei is also a genius, it seems like it won't be long before you can surpass me. So, let's bet on who is better among us. If you win, I will give you a storage ring, how about it?”
"Is it true?" Su Mei suddenly looked at Jian Chen again with a hopeful look.
When Jian Chen nodded and confirmed it, the little girl immediately stood up and put out her little finger in a hook while pointing it at Jian Chen.
"Promise?"
"Ha ha ha." Jian Chen laughed in his heart and was quite happy to find out that no matter what, Su Mei was still just a sixteen year old child.
Apart from that, Jian Chen was also happy when he could unconsciously make Su Mei, who previously had no intention of training, have the desire to become stronger.
Apart from that, Jian Chen was also happy when he could unconsciously make Su Mei, who previously had no intention of training, have the desire to become stronger.
So, Jian Chen also happily stretched out his hand and took out his little finger, then hooked it around Su Mei's finger and said, "I promise."
"Hooray!"
I don't know what happened to this girl's emotions, Su Mei suddenly jumped as if she had found a treasure and all the bad feelings that were previously still there completely disappeared. if Jian Chen had not seen it for himself, he would probably have thought that this girl had actually never been sad at all.
"Okay," Su Mei suddenly smiled very widely and said, "Now big brother should leave quickly so as not to disturb me practicing."
Without waiting for Jian Chen to reply or respond, with an unbelievable look he immediately discovered that Su Mei was impatiently starting to push herself towards the exit.
Is this little girl trying to chase herself away?
There was a huge shock in Jian Chen's head, especially when he thought that not long ago, Su Mei never seemed to want to part with him, but why was he now chasing her away?
What happened to this girl?
"Tsk" the sound of the door closing finally made Jian Chen realize that he was now outside the house, and the little girl who was previously so afraid of him leaving had actually thrown him out.
"It's really hard to believe..."
Jian Chen shook his head feeling completely clueless and decided to go look for Bai Shen.
Concerning about Bai Shen, Jian Chen also began to think that apart from the name, it seemed like he had never really known about this equally strange woman. But remembering that their first meeting was at the Mission Hall, Jian Chen decided to go there.
