Chapter 152 - 110: Lotus Blooms with Every Step

Early in the morning, Su Yue left the hotel, left the room card at the front desk, sent a text message to Xu Baiyan, and went directly back to the Cosmic Mansion District.

Judging by the time, Su Jianjun should be cooking by now.

To be honest, I really miss Su Jianjun’s scallion pancakes.

This kid is really impressive, so young, and already knows how to make scallion pancakes. I wonder if there will be any scallion pancakes this morning.

At Su Yue’s current speed, it didn’t take long to get home.

Hmm!

Lucky! Just as Su Yue arrived at the door, he smelled the aroma of scallions.

Uncle loves scallion pancakes, so we have them several times a week at home.

"Hey, bro, you’re back! How was the high school exam!"

Opening the door, Su Jianjun’s excited face was flushed red.

In a year, Su Jianjun had grown a lot taller, although he needs to lose some weight.

"Su Yue is back, come in quickly!"

Su Jianzhou pushed a wheelchair over, his eyes a bit dark, clearly not having rested well these days.

"Wait... change your shoes!"

Su Jianjun’s cleanliness was as usual.

After a whole process of washing hands and sanitizing, Su Yue finally sat down at the dinner table.

Little pickles with scallion pancakes, plus a bowl of pumpkin millet porridge, truly warm.

"What, you didn’t take the exam, bro... are you repeating a grade?"

"That’s not right, the martial arts class doesn’t have repeating grades or supplementary classes!"

Hearing that Su Yue didn’t take the exam, Su Jianjun was so shocked that he spilled his porridge.

"Exams for students in Cengyan City are postponed, I’ve received the notice. You all will retake the exam tomorrow!"

Su Jianzhou said.

As Su Yue’s guardian, he received a letter from the Cengyan City Education Bureau.

"Why were the exams postponed?"

Su Jianjun asked.

"Kid, don’t ask so many questions!"

Su Jianzhou shook his head.

"I’m going to wash the dishes!"

Su Jianjun pouted but didn’t pry further.

"It’s good you came back safely, this time... it was really dangerous!"

Su Jianjun went to the kitchen, and the two came to the living room. Su Jianzhou patted Su Yue’s head with a sigh.

"The blessed will naturally have their protection, see, you’re back... Uncle, did the government tell you the details?"

Su Yue asked.

"I used to be a martial artist, so I have an account on the Martial Arts Official Website and could watch the live broadcast.

"This year was tough on you, a platinum bone sculpture is not something anyone can achieve. If your dad knew, he’d definitely be very happy!"

Su Jianzhou chuckled.

"Ah, I see... Right, let me take a look, I want to see how dashing I looked!"

Su Yue added.

I wonder if my demeanor while cutting down the spicy pepper was imposing!

"The video was posted by the Yangxiang Sect invading the website, but it was already deleted by the government. Although you turned the tide, there’s a big element of luck. Such widespread dissemination is not beneficial for the public.

"The night you killed the spicy pepper, the government restored the network channel and permanently deleted the video.

"Because the incident occurred late at night and only affected Renqing Province, plus the video was only uploaded to the North District Forum, it didn’t cause a nationwide debate, which is good.

"There aren’t many martial artists on the Water Forum, especially at night."

Su Jianzhou chuckled.

"What... deleted, I didn’t even see what I looked like."

Su Yue regretted.

"What can we do if it’s not deleted? Shut down all shopping centers nationwide? Or have martial artist families imprisoned in the district?

"Accidents happen every day, we can’t stop eating just because we’re afraid of choking!"

Su Jianzhou added a remark.

Reducing public panic, that’s what the government should be doing.

"True, I don’t want to become famous so early either."

Su Yue sighed.

"You don’t want to be famous? From what I saw, your poses while killing the spicy pepper were pretty good."

Su Jianzhou chuckled.

Luckily, the video was deleted within less than an hour of being posted.

If it hadn’t been deleted overnight, Su Yue would have truly become a national celebrity.

Now that the video is deleted, even if martial artists discuss it among themselves, they don’t know much about Su Yue, given that even those with inside knowledge are few.

This isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Martial artists aren’t celebrities, they don’t live off hype.

If by any chance Su Yue got targeted by the Yangxiang Sect, it wouldn’t be safe, after all, he hasn’t fully grown yet.

Besides, in the Divine Land, battles happen every day, and the Martial Arts Forum updates fight videos very quickly. Apart from the North District, it didn’t attract much attention.

It was just on the night something happened to Su Yue and them that another nation’s Wet Ghost Tower was broken through, drawing all martial artists nationwide to focus on that, causing Martial Arts Forum posts about that to flood the site.

By coincidence, the shopping center incident in Cengyan City just faded away like that.

As far as the Divine Land Government is concerned, they prefer for things to quiet down.

"Su Yue, don’t blame your dad. He’s in prison because of some special reasons that prevented him from helping you."

Suddenly, Su Jianzhou said again.

Through ups and downs for a year, no one knows what pain and opportunities Su Yue went through, but life must have been tough.

Other martial artists have elders to help them, but Su Yue is just alone.

It’s really heartbreaking to think about it.

"What are you saying, Uncle!

"Although living off parents isn’t illegal, a son doesn’t blame his family for being poor. What’s happened has happened, what’s the point in harboring resentment? Dad must have his reasons.

"Besides, a person ultimately has to grow up; you can’t rely on your dad forever. Facing the storms early can help you soar sooner.

"When I have the ability, I’ll definitely find a way to save Dad!"

Su Yue calmly smiled.

He also envied Liao Ping and Liao Ji’s affluent backgrounds, but that’s not a reason to blame his dad.

Compared to Old Zhao’s daughter, his own hardships are nothing.

If you have to rely on elders to bear all the hardships of life for you, then your life... is defeated from the very start.

"Thank you for understanding, I thank you on behalf of your dad!"
