168: Chapter 168 The Spatial Gate and Jealous Teacher Su

"I was saying, how about coming over to my place for some tea?"

Yun Zhuo spoke again.

Di Zhenzhen froze for a moment, then looked at Teacher Su behind him.

Teacher Su said, "Xiao Zhuo, didn't you say you were heading back to school today?"

"I didn't make myself clear," Yun Zhuo explained. "I meant going to Big Teacher Su's villa for tea."

"Xiao Zhuo, you're taking her with you?"

Yun Zhuo smiled. "Is Teacher Su jealous?"

Teacher Su glanced at Di Zhenzhen and gave a light huff. "Hmph, the house is too small to fit everyone."

Di Zhenzhen also hurriedly said, "The farm in the village was just completed, and there are many things to handle next. I can't leave the village for long."

"It's just for tea; it's only a step away. It won't take much of your time."

As he spoke, Yun Zhuo stopped teasing the two of them.

He raised his hand and pointed beside him, activating the Space Gate skill.

Five points of light first appeared in the air, then transformed into ball lightning. Electrical arcs interlaced and connected between the five spheres, emitting a rapid crackling sound.

Just as the light became so bright that everyone could barely keep their eyes open, the crackling abruptly ceased, and a halo surrounded by electrical sparks appeared before them.

When the Teacher Sus and Di Zhenzhen saw the scene inside the halo, their eyes widened in shock.

Inside that ring of light was not the village street, but the living room of Big Teacher Su's villa.

"This..." Teacher Su pointed at the Space Gate, wanting to ask Yun Zhuo what was going on.

However, she saw that Yun Zhuo's forehead was covered in sweat. "Hurry through. I can't maintain this Space Gate for long."

Saying that, he jumped in first to scout the way for everyone.

Then, he waved urgently from within the halo. "Hurry, come over!"

Teacher Su walked through, followed by Big Teacher Su. After a moment of hesitation, Di Zhenzhen also stepped inside.

Shua!

The Space Gate vanished. Di Zhenzhen looked back; the village was gone, replaced by the living room of Big Teacher Su's home.

"Phew~" Yun Zhuo plopped onto the sofa, sprawling out with a long sigh. "This skill consumes way too much psionic energy. In less than a minute, it nearly drained my thirty thousand points of Qi."

Teacher Su sat excitedly beside him. "Xiao Zhuo, when did you learn this skill? Doesn't this mean it'll be convenient for us to go anywhere in the future?"

"You'd better not mention places that are too far. The greater the distance of this skill, the more psionic energy it consumes. Plus, it has to be a place we've already visited."

Big Teacher Su also sat down beside him. "It's best if Xiao Zhuo uses this skill sparingly in the future."

"Why?"

"Although this skill has no offensive power, it can be used to save lives at critical moments. It should be treated as one of your trump cards; naturally, the fewer people who know about it, the better."

"Hmm, that makes sense."

After saying that, he looked at Di Zhenzhen, who was still standing there, and smiled. "Sister Zhenzhen, how about it? I said it was only a step away. Do you believe me now?"

The corners of Di Zhenzhen's lips curled slightly. Seeing this now, since Xiao Zhuo had the Space Gate, traveling between the school and the village would indeed be much more convenient.

"It really is quite close."

"Then you shouldn't be losing sleep just because I'm leaving now, right?"

"Missing you has nothing to do with distance. Even if you were in the village, right in front of me, I still wouldn't be able to stop myself from missing you."

Compared to the Teacher Sus, Yun Zhuo's Space Gate didn't shock Di Zhenzhen much; at most, it was an impressive sight.

Because as early as a month ago, she and Yun Zhuo had seen the method to open a Space Gate in Dr. Qiu's office.

She just hadn't expected Yun Zhuo to be able to open a Space Gate in the form of a skill.

At this moment, she gazed at Yun Zhuo infatuatedly. The longing in her eyes was like silk, tightly winding around him, wanting to pull him into her own body, to merge with him and never be apart again.

Although the distance now seemed very short, no longer as difficult to meet as she had previously thought.

But this was Sister Su's home, not a place where she could stay for long.

As for why Xiao Zhuo could turn the method of opening a Space Gate into a skill...

Was that more important than taking another look at Xiao Zhuo?

Lost in thought, she unconsciously moved closer to him, as if it were a physical instinct that didn't require the brain to think.

Until the moment her hand touched Yun Zhuo's cheek.

"Hey!"

Teacher Su suddenly let out a sharp shout, making Di Zhenzhen's body tremble as she quickly retracted her hand.

The thirty-year-old mature woman now looked like a child who had done something wrong, lowering her head in a loss for words.

Unfortunately, no matter how low she bowed her head, she couldn't see her own toes.

Nor could she see the Goddess Pendant she wore on her chest.

"You're already such an adult, yet you're not even ashamed of being so lovey-dovey in front of others."

Teacher Su curled her lip in a sarcastic manner. She had originally wanted to lose her temper, but seeing Di Zhenzhen's pitiful appearance, she could only hold it back.

She didn't want people to call her a malicious female lead.

"You gave me a fright." Yun Zhuo gave her a look. "Everyone here is close; why talk like we're strangers? It's quite disheartening."

"Bah, the fact that I'm holding back my temper is already giving you Face. You'd better not provoke me again, or if I really get angry, I even scare myself, you know?"

"Alright, alright," Big Teacher Su hurriedly stood up to smooth things over. "Xiao Zhuo can open a Space Gate to the village, so it'll be close for me to go to the village in the future too."

She then pulled Di Zhenzhen to sit down. "Sister Zhenzhen, don't just stand there. Sit, treat it like your own home. By the way, what would you like to drink? Tea or coffee?"

"Coffee."

"I knew it. Extra milk, right?"

Di Zhenzhen smiled slightly.

Teacher Su leaned over the back of the sofa and looked at her sister heading to the kitchen. "Hey, Sister, I'm your biological sister, have you forgotten?"

"You drink plain water, I know."

"That's not what I'm talking about."

"Whatever you want to say, go talk to Xiao Zhuo. I don't know anything."

"Hmph." Teacher Su thumped the back of the sofa, sat back down, and looked at Yun Zhuo.

"Why are you looking at me?" Yun Zhuo was startled.

"Did you ask my sister to build the town with her on purpose?"

Teacher Su felt that Yun Zhuo had done it on purpose, and that it was a long-premeditated plan.

By giving Di Zhenzhen and her sister a common goal, they would interact more, their bond would grow, and they would eventually cast her, the biological sister, aside.

Also, if her sister had to go to Nun Village frequently, it would be convenient for that boy to go to Nun Village too—it would be on the way.

"Of course. This was something I carefully considered."

"Heh, you actually dare to admit it."

"What's there to be afraid of admitting? One has the people, the other has the technical plans. If I didn't bring them together, how foolish would I have to be to do that?"

"Then they both have things to do, but what about me?"

"You? Starting tomorrow, you'll have plenty to keep you busy."

"Really?"

Teacher Su hurriedly ran over from the other end of the sofa and sat next to Yun Zhuo.

"Of course, it's doing missions to earn academic credits and exchange them for Cultivation Techniques. Later, you should study with your sister on how to improve our efficiency in earning academic credits."
