99: Chapter 99 Teacher Su: Beware of fire, theft, and older sisters

Teacher Su felt her sister's mood was a bit strange, but as long as she didn't keep asking what she was doing earlier, she was fine with talking about anything.

"He said a lot, which aspect are you referring to?"

In the kitchen, the two sisters chatted sporadically.

Teacher Su took a deep breath and decided not to hesitate any longer.

She had already mentally rehearsed how to explain this matter to her sister many times while buying groceries.

Moreover, the matter of forming a contract with Xiao Zhuo had to be resolved as soon as possible, regardless of whether it succeeded or not; otherwise, the longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.

"He ran into Chen Qi earlier."

After saying this, she quietly glanced at her sister's expression.

"Chen Qi?" Teacher Su stopped what she was doing and looked at her sister. "Xiao Zhuo looks fine, Chen Qi shouldn't have given him a hard time, right?"

"He almost beat Chen Qi to death."

"Huh? Isn't Chen Qi already level thirty?"

"Shouldn't you be concerned about why the two of them fought?"

"Does that even need to be asked? It must be because Chen Qi wants to avenge his cousin. We killed his cousin, Chen Bo, back in Dawn City."

"That happened too?"

"Yeah, are you saying their fight this time wasn't for the sake of Chen Bo?"

"That's a factor, but the main reason is that Chen Qi wants to propose to our parents and become a Live-in Son-in-law for our Su Family."

"Ugh, I feel sick just seeing him. Besides, how could the Chen Family possibly let him marry into our Family? Sister, stop trying to scare me."

"Chen Qi's status is a bit special; that's a long story. You just need to know that if he is determined to marry into our Family, the Chen Family really can't do anything about it."

"In that case, doesn't that mean Xiao Zhuo has no chance at all? Given our parents' usual style, they would definitely agree."

"But Principal Ji gave us an idea. Chen Qi didn't manage to kill Xiao Zhuo this time, so he will definitely make another move during the freshman assessment in a month. And next time he acts, he will definitely be fully prepared. If Xiao Zhuo can kill him back then, the problem will be solved."

"Is this really something a principal would say? Or does Principal Ji have a grudge against our Su Family?"

"The relationship between the Ji Family and our Su Family is indeed not great, but this time I think she makes sense."

"Sister, you're confused. Chen Qi is not Chen Bo. If Xiao Zhuo really kills him, will the Chen Family let Xiao Zhuo off?"

"Little Yuan, you haven't been home since you were little, so you don't know much about the affairs of the Twelve Families."

Teacher Su explained, "Once Chen Qi dies, besides seeking revenge on Xiao Zhuo, the Chen Family will find someone else to propose to our Family. At that time, it won't be as a Live-in Son-in-law, but a regular marriage. Our parents certainly won't agree, but our eldest uncle, second uncle, and grandmother will definitely agree. Because that way, not only can they weaken Father's competitiveness, but they can also use us two sisters to get benefits from the Chen Family. So, Principal Ji's idea is for me to also form a contract with Xiao Zhuo. This will not only make Xiao Zhuo's leveling speed faster, but also make Xiao Zhuo a shield in our parents' hands. When the Chen Family wants to attack Xiao Zhuo, our parents won't be able to ignore it. After all, before our parents come up with a better idea or candidate, Xiao Zhuo cannot be allowed to have any mishaps. This way, the immediate crisis will be averted. As for the future, that will depend on Xiao Zhuo's abilities. Do you trust Xiao Zhuo?"

Teacher Su nodded. "Of course I trust him. In this world, besides him, I don't trust anyone. But, Sister, is everything you just said true? Did you fall for Xiao Zhuo and make up a story to trick me?"

Teacher Su's face flushed slightly. "How could that be? The news of him fighting Chen Qi must have already spread throughout the school. If you don't believe me, go check the campus forum; many people must be talking about it right now."

"No wonder that kid was out for so long today, so it turns out..."

Teacher Su said this, subconsciously glanced at her sister, then changed the subject and asked, "Sister, what do you think of Xiao Zhuo?"

"He will definitely become an outstanding War Spirit Master in the future, but that's provided he has a future."

"What else?"

"Is he handsome?"

"Hey, you brat, what do you mean by that? I'm here kindly giving you advice, and you're actually guarding against me?"

"You're only a few minutes older than me, and you dare to call me a brat?"

"Never mind a few minutes; even if I were only a few seconds older, I'm still your sister, and it's appropriate for me to call you a brat. Also, is there something wrong with your focus? Is this what we should be talking about right now?"

"Hmph!" Teacher Su let out a soft snort. "Sister, don't blame me for not warning you. Aside from being a bit handsome, that kid Xiao Zhuo is useless in every other way. Plus, he's full of bad intentions and is extremely lecherous. You'd better stay away from him, or you'll regret it."

Regarding her sister's grumbling, Teacher Su felt those words hit home!

It was clearly that kid who tricked her into kissing him earlier, yet afterwards he actually turned the tables and accused her, telling her to be careful in the future, and even said he'd keep it a secret. How hateful, why didn't she react at the time, letting that kid take advantage of her for nothing.

"So you agree?"

"Why would I refuse something beneficial to Xiao Zhuo? Am I the kind of person who can't weigh the pros and cons? But..."

Teacher Su answered preemptively, "I know, I'll stay away from him in the future."

Teacher Su nodded, but she was still a bit uneasy. How could she make that kid Xiao Zhuo not interested in her sister? Or not have those kinds of thoughts about her? After thinking for a long time, she suddenly looked at her sister, who was beating eggs, and asked, "Sister, would you buy two identical eggbeaters?"

"Why?"

"Just tell me, would you buy two identical things?"

"This eggbeater isn't broken, why would I buy two?"

"I also think there's no need for that."

"What on earth are you trying to say, you brat?"

"Nothing, hurry up and cook. It's already dark, and all you do is chat."

Teacher Su was in a good mood now and didn't hold it against her. But at this moment, a faint white light lit up on Teacher Su's body. Teacher Su was stunned for a moment. "You leveled up?"

Teacher Su seemed used to it and nodded. "Yeah, level twenty-one." As she spoke, she was busy tossing the vegetables in the pan, as if she were talking about something very mundane.

"But your files say that a few days ago, you two were only level ten, right?"

"About a week, why?"

"You don't have money to buy potions, don't you think this leveling speed is a bit abnormal?"

"Not really. When we were level sixteen, there was a guy named Gu Xiandeng who was already level nineteen. That's what you call abnormally fast; what's this compared to me and Xiao Zhuo?"

Teacher Su didn't say that her and Xiao Zhuo's talent had already reached the Imperial Rank. If their leveling wasn't fast, wouldn't all of Xiao Zhuo's twenty-plus billion corrosion crystal have been spent in vain.

"There's someone leveling faster than you? I don't believe it."

"Whether you believe it or not, there's nothing I can do. That guy is already dead, and I can't have you confront him."

"Did Xiao Zhuo kill him?"

"No, their teacher killed him."

"Their teacher?"

"Oh, Sister, don't just chat, hurry up and bring the basin over." After saying that, she glanced at the timer on the cupboard. "The swift beast bone is almost done stewing. Have you finished chopping the green onions?"

Teacher Su's plate was already prepared. "After I form a contract with Xiao Zhuo, won't you be able to reach level thirty in a week?"
