Chapter 31 Silence is Cambrige Tonight
“Mom, who the hell threw fallen leaves on me.”
Getting up, Su Jiu shook off all the fallen leaves on her body and slowly opened her palm.
A magic crystal, like a red crystal, lay flat on it. It looked much more radiant than the one E Huo had eaten before. Under the sunlight, it seemed to be burning.
“Want to eat?” Su Jiu held the magic crystal to E Huo’s mouth and asked tentatively.
“Mmm… after eating this one, I’ll need about two more of the previous ones to grow a little bit.”
E Huo’s eyes went straight when it saw the magic crystal. After swallowing it in one bite, it obediently circled back to Su Jiu’s wrist, just like a real silver bracelet, but it didn’t fall asleep immediately.
Feeling the coolness on her wrist, Su Jiu smiled and gently touched E Huo’s head with her finger. She was truly a foodie.
I’ll raise her, raise her as a daughter.
“Last time, didn’t you fall asleep after eating your fill? Why is it different this time?” As if remembering something, Su Jiu suddenly asked in confusion.
“Because I need to eat one more to fall into a deep sleep to grow bigger,” E Huo said very seriously, but her soft, childish voice made her words sound a little silly and cute.
“Oh,” Su Jiu nodded slightly.
If E Huo continued to provide feedback, she might not break through to the Advanced Stage Warrior, but she could still provide a wave of energy feedback.
After all, “Bone Setting” required three to five times more energy than “Tendon Molding.” Once the tendons and bones were stable, the body would tend towards an explosive growth of power. After reaching the Advanced Stage Warrior, it would transition from body refining to energy refining.
This was also why both monsters and humans at the Advanced Stage Warrior Class had Energy Shields.
“Doot-doot!!”
At this moment, the phone rang again. Su Jiu looked up, a hint of confusion in her eyebrows, and muttered to herself, “It’s Sister Liu. Did something happen?”
“The government has sent the reward, about 200 merit points plus a magic crystal of the Earth Attribute, from the Mountain-Moving Beast lineage. The merit points have already been transferred to your account.” Liu Hong’s voice was very noisy, as if she were in a classroom.
Su Jiu’s face lit up with surprise: “They’re giving it to me directly?”
Sister Liu said very seriously, “We only provided the location. You were the one responsible for the kill and tracking. Moreover, the government is being so generous to people like us who are semi-governmental is because you killed Wang Mazi, who caused multiple cases of missing women.”
“As for the magic crystal, I’m at Zhiyuan High School right now. If it’s convenient for you, come and get it.”
The next moment, Su Jiu’s phone APP chimed with a notification that she was now a Silver Exorcist, equivalent to a small team leader. The promotion section showed:
(1000/5000)
Towards Captain/Gold
“Sister Liu, are you at school? Can we change the location? There are too many people here,” Su Jiu asked, overjoyed but also cautiously.
She was still a little afraid of being recognized, given her figure, which could easily be recognized by her classmates without the cover of night.
“Change the location? Is there any need? I’ll be taking these students for practical training in the safe zone tomorrow, and I’m too busy to get away today… Wait.”
Su Jiu pouted and thought to herself that the magic crystal to help E Huo break through to the Warrior Class was prepared so quickly…
She felt a little delighted.
But she didn’t think about how this was only the amount E Huo needed to reach the Initial Stage Warrior from being unranked. How much would it become in the future?
“We’ll be electing the training class leader later. Those who can use two bloodline skills, please step forward… Is Bai Qianyu the only one? Those who can use one skill, please step forward. You more than a dozen people will have a selection later, and the winner will be the training class leader… Except for Bai Ming’s year, has Huayang City not had a stronger batch?”
“Then the battle equipment prize will probably go to Huawen City next door again.”
Liu Hong seemed very busy, constantly communicating with the students. The voice call was interspersed, and her voice was a bit blurry and inaudible.
“What about Su Jiu? Is she coming?” Sister Liu asked the disciplinary committee member of Class 3 Senior A.
“Ah? Sister Liu, I’m here. Let me come pick it up tonight, there are too many people during the day…”
Without waiting for the disciplinary committee member to speak, Su Jiu answered instinctively. She hadn’t forgotten that she was still hiding her identity, but she thought that since they were colleagues, it was normal for a superior like Liu Hong to know her name.
“You’re here?”
Suddenly, the air between them froze. There was a strange silence for more than ten seconds.
Su Jiu thought there was a problem with the phone and quickly asked, “Sister Liu, can you still hear me?”
“Calling you?” Liu Hong repeated, then stopped speaking, her voice carrying a strange emotion.
Su Jiu asked confusedly, “Sister Liu, aren’t you calling me?”
Liu Hong slowly lowered her head to look at the “Special Care List” in her hand, and an incredibly astonishing thought crossed her mind:
[Su Jiu, daughter of Mayor Su]
[Got lucky and obtained a treasure to improve her bloodline value, her blood coagulation value is average]
[Often skips class, never attends evening study sessions, very weak, and requires student escorts for practical training.]
Is Su Jiu her subordinate? That experienced and decisive subordinate, a monster comparable to a Dragon Hunter?
The transition from a rich young lady to a cold-blooded killer. Even movies wouldn’t dare to be filmed this way.
Liu Hong chuckled at her own thought, secretly thinking it was probably a case of mistaken identity. She teased casually, “Then you should be studying here too, right? Come to the playground now to get the magic crystal. No need to hide your identity or anything.”
“Yes, I’ll go to the classroom later, Sister Liu. Please wait.”
Su Jiu paused. She hadn’t expected Sister Liu to have already figured out her identity. But she thought that since she filled in all her information, including her ID, she was considered a civil servant.
It was normal for the person who brought her in to know.
What Liu Hong didn’t expect was that her teasing remark didn’t elicit a similarly jocular response but rather an agreement.
The silence of Cambrige tonight, a silence spread between the two of them.
“Are you really in your senior year?”
Liu Hong felt her mouth suddenly become a little dry. She turned her head to look at the students who were still eager to compete for the class leader position. The smiles on their faces were so innocent and radiant.
She recalled the knife marks on the wall last night, each one more ferocious than the last, and the two veteran cultists whose heads had been severed. Could a girl of flower-like age do such things?
At her age, she was still busy tearing up love letters from sycophants.
“Otherwise, if I were a sophomore, my age wouldn’t have reached the awakening time yet. I’ll be there in about two minutes.” Su Jiu still didn’t realize the seriousness of the situation and walked towards the playground.
“No… you’re serious?! Don’t come, I’ll come to you. I’m under the first tree on the street to your left.” Liu Hong was completely stunned. Disregarding the surprised students below, she shouted down to them, “Free activity, everyone!”
The students below looked at each other in confusion. Wasn’t it a gathering just now, and now it’s free activity?
Meanwhile, the exorcist team members started maintaining order. They didn’t quite understand why the captain was rushing out.
The sweet-looking girl quietly said into the microphone, “Everyone, quiet down. We are now electing the class leader and five vice-class leaders. These students, please come to the stage to give your speeches.”
Someone asked confusedly, “Aren’t we supposed to have a fight? Why do we need to give speeches now?”
The girl shook her head and said, “This is to introduce your bloodlines and specialties. Not everyone with higher combat power can be a leader. There are many support-type bloodlines too.”
…
After a while, Su Jiu saw Liu Hong’s figure arriving leisurely. She took the lollipop out of her mouth, extended her fair hand, and smiled, “Thank you, Sister Liu, for providing the magic crystal.”
She completely failed to notice the look in Liu Hong’s eyes, which was like looking at a rare creature. Liu Hong’s mouth twitched constantly. Was the girl in front of her, who looked like Little Red Riding Hood from a fairy tale, her own decisive teammate?
