30: Chapter 30 Junior Brother, Let's Begin!
They had already settled down in Modu.
It was also time to visit Lin Ruoxi's school and Leng Jing's flower shop.
Moreover, Lin Ruoxi had to take the Modu high school entrance exam in two days.
But before that, Su Mu took the two of them for a good tour around Modu.
As promised, Su Mu bought many beautiful clothes for Lin Ruoxi.
Of course, under the strong suggestion of Su Mu and Lin Ruoxi, Leng Jing also bought a few beautiful outfits.
The three of them returned home happily.
During dinner that evening, they discussed their plans for the next day.
They eventually reached a consensus: tomorrow morning, they would first visit the High School Affiliated with Modu Ability University, where Lin Ruoxi would be studying.
In the afternoon, they would check out the flower shop at the entrance of Modu Ability University and see if anything was missing so they could furnish it.
Early the next morning, Su Mu emerged from his room after a night of cultivation.
Following the guidance of the old man from the subway, his cultivation speed had increased significantly.
He had currently succeeded in cleansing the third extraordinary meridian.
He was now one step closer to breaking through to the Second Rank.
Thus, he had unknowingly cultivated through the night, continuing to cleanse the fourth meridian.
Fortunately, an ability user's spirit is much higher than that of an ordinary person, so staying up all night had no ill effects.
The High School Affiliated with Modu Ability University was very prestigious, possessing the most advanced teaching resources and equipment.
Furthermore, students from Modu Ability University would occasionally visit to teach practical combat techniques.
All three were very satisfied with the high school, especially Lin Ruoxi, who even wanted to stay there and not leave.
One wondered if she would still love it as much after experiencing the hardships of high school once the term actually started.
As for the flower shop, it was incredibly impressive.
The shop was over 60 square meters, even larger than the one in Jianglan City.
The most crucial point was that it was located right at the entrance of Modu Ability University.
This location! This size!
Most importantly, a storefront like this couldn't be acquired with money alone.
Director He Kui was someone worth knowing.
Leng Jing liked the flower shop very much, but since it was so large, she would likely need to find a shop assistant to help her operate it normally.
Su Mu didn't object to hiring an assistant; after all, one person really couldn't manage such a large shop alone.
However, the assistant had to be carefully selected. Su Mu wouldn't be around forever, so they needed someone with good character, preferably an ability user.
This way, they could also protect Leng Jing.
Su Mu still felt a lingering fear regarding the events that had occurred in Jianglan City.
But for this matter, he would need to ask his Senior Sister for help.
In the afternoon, they returned to the villa from the flower shop.
It had to be said, the location was indeed very convenient.
It only took about a 10-minute walk from the flower shop to the villa.
However, it would take Lin Ruoxi a bit more time to get to school, as the affiliated high school was on another campus.
Fortunately, there was an on-campus bus, so she could get there in about 15 minutes.
Su Mu: Senior Sister, where are you?
Ninth Senior Sister: I'm at my villa. What's up?
Su Mu: I have something I'd like to ask your help with.
Ninth Senior Sister: Then come over to my place.
Su Mu: Okay!
He turned off his phone, said goodbye to Leng Jing, and headed out.
He arrived in front of Mu Feng's villa.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Mu Feng opened the door and led Su Mu inside.
At this moment, Mu Feng was wearing form-fitting loungewear, and her long wavy hair was tied up. It looked like she had been cultivating.
"Sister Mu Feng, sorry to disturb you so late!"
"It's fine. I told you, you can come to me whenever you're in trouble."
Walking into the villa's living room, Su Mu realized there was someone else there.
Another girl was sitting on the sofa watching TV.
Unlike Mu Feng, this girl had long, straight black hair, but her looks didn't quite match Mu Feng's, let alone Leng Jing's.
"Sister Mu Feng, who is this?"
"My roommate, Li Yu. You can just call her Sister Xiaoyu."
"Sister Xiaoyu!"
"You must be Mu Feng's younger brother. Welcome!"
Mu Feng took Su Mu to her room to talk.
"Come on, let's go to my room to talk about whatever's on your mind!"
Soon, the two of them arrived in Mu Feng's room.
"So, tell me, what's the matter?"
"It's like this, Senior Sister. My sister is opening a flower shop at the entrance of Modu University, but she can't manage it alone and needs a shop assistant. I wanted to ask you to help find someone suitable."
"Just this little thing?"
"Not exactly. The assistant's character must be beyond reproach, preferably a girl, but most importantly, the assistant must be an ability user."
"Hmm? An ability user? Why does a flower shop assistant have to be an ability user?"
Su Mu recounted the events that had happened in Jianglan City.
Actually, with Su Mu's current strength, it wouldn't matter if Leng Jing stayed home every day.
But that would make Leng Jing unhappy, so he had to find a way to solve it. As for whether the flower shop made money, he didn't care.
"Alright, it's not impossible. We just need to offer a bit more money."
"Money is no problem. Let them receive a normal assistant's salary from Sister Leng Jing, and I'll make up the difference."
Su Mu had calculated it; working in a flower shop wasn't difficult.
Hiring an ability user below the Second Rank would only cost about a hundred thousand a month, which he could afford.
Besides, the red envelopes he received from his various senior brothers and sisters yesterday totaled over a million.
"That won't be necessary. I'll arrange for students from my club to take turns going there. You don't need to spend money."
"A club? Would that be alright?"
"It's fine. The Spear Society at Modu Ability University was established by our eldest senior brother, and I'm the current president.
I'll find a few suitable people in the club when the time comes.
Then, I'll give them pointers on their Spear Technique as a reward. They'll naturally be willing."
"This! Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you, Senior Sister?"
This would indeed solve the problem perfectly, but it would be very troublesome for his senior sister.
"It will indeed be a bit of trouble, so I have a condition."
Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief. If there were no conditions at all, he would owe her a massive favor.
"Name it, Senior Sister!"
Mu Feng's eyes sparkled as she rubbed her hands together and said,
"Little Junior Brother, that combat technique of yours where lightning gathers in your hand to form a thunderbird—can you teach it to me?"
Official regulations stated that all purchased combat techniques could only be learned by oneself. If someone was found using a combat technique they hadn't purchased, they would be taken straight to court.
However, there was one exception: self-created combat techniques.
The creator of a combat technique could teach it to others.
An S-rank combat technique! How could she not be tempted?
The only S-rank combat technique Mu Feng currently knew was one, and it was a lightning-element Spear Technique created by their teacher.
Primal Chaos Lightning Spear!!
But compared to Su Mu's thunderbird technique, it was far inferior.
Of course, what Mu Feng considered 'far inferior' meant it wasn't cool enough.
After all, who wouldn't like a combat technique that could use lightning to manifest a thunderbird?
"Is that all? Don't worry, Senior Sister, I'll teach you."
That very night, Mu Feng dragged Su Mu to Yang Wendao's underground training room.
Su Mu didn't refuse. After sending a message to Leng Jing, he began teaching Mu Feng the combat technique.
"Senior Sister, to learn Rapid Lightning Chidori, you first need to learn another combat technique: Chidori."
"Okay! So what rank is this Chidori?"
"It's an A-rank combat technique, but don't worry, this one is much simpler."
Mu Feng was practically driven wild with joy; it was a buy-one-get-one-free deal.
A-rank combat techniques weren't cheap. If one wanted to buy them at an outside martial arts hall, they would cost over a million.
Even at school, redeeming one with academic credits would cost over ten thousand.
"Good! Good! Good! Little Junior Brother, let's begin!"
