Chapter 66: Go Home Often
Looking at the greatly changed attribute panel again, Sun Yu's face was filled with relief and happiness.
Now that he possessed an advanced Spirit, a thousand-year second ring, Daoist Secret Arts, and the Battle Method, he had completely solidified his reputation as a genius.
Since the path of a genius had been set, Sun Yu's next round of planning could officially begin: utilizing his genius reputation, relying on a powerful backer, and systematically using his foreknowledge to plan for opportunities to further strengthen himself.
Soon, time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a night passed.
Sun Yu spent the entire night planning his future path.
He didn't fall into a deep sleep until dawn.
It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky that Li Zhan called Sun Yu to eat lunch.
After lunch, Li Zhan found a carriage, preparing to return to the academy.
Sitting in the carriage on the way back to the academy, Sun Yu spoke to Li Qianjue.
"Teacher, I've been out for so long, I'd like to go home and visit. Could you give me a few days off to go back?"
Hearing this, Li Qianjue nodded slightly.
"Of course, you haven't been back for a year, so it's good to go back and see. I'll have Li Zhan accompany you back to protect you!
As for my elder brother, I will urge him again for you. Now that your Spirit has undergone a second evolution, and you've obtained a thousand-year second spirit ring, I believe unless my elder brother has lost his mind, he wouldn't possibly ignore this!
I believe that after you return from home, you might be able to start preparing to go to my elder brother's place!"
"Thank you, Teacher!"
Sun Yu cupped his hands.
After the carriage traveled for half a day, at the border of the Balak Kingdom, Sun Yu and Li Zhan got off the carriage and watched Li Qianjue leave.
They found another place to hire a carriage and headed towards Nuoding City.
Saint Spirit Village was a small village after all, so more people would know about Nuoding City.
...
"Spirit Master Su Yuntao, you're finally here! Why are you so late this year?"
Under the blazing sun, at the Spirit Hall branch at the entrance of Saint Spirit Village, Old Jack looked at Su Yuntao, who had arrived covered in dust, and quickly handed him a kettle, smiling.
Su Yuntao also didn't put on any airs, responding with a smile.
"Sigh, I can't help it. There's been too much going on in the city recently, so I've troubled you to wait a bit longer!"
"Oh, oh, no problem, no problem. You're busy, you're a distinguished Spirit Master, it's fine to be busy. It's fine for us ordinary people to wait a few more days!"
Seeing Su Yuntao treat him so amicably, Old Jack immediately smiled, flattered.
Although Su Yuntao was easy to talk to before, he was never as amiable as he had been in the past two years.
"Alright, let's not talk about this. Are these the children who are going to awaken their Spirit this year? I wonder if there will be any lucky ones like Sun Yu and Tang San.
Oh, speaking of them, where is Sun Yu? Tang San comes every month to collect his allowance, but how is Sun Yu doing now? I remember he also leveled up to a Spirit Master, didn't he? This child is truly amazing; he actually managed to reach Spirit Master level within a year, despite his innate spirit power being only level one!"
Su Yuntao looked at the six-year-old children who were staring at him with frightened faces, organizing his things as he asked.
"Whoosh!"
"Two esteemed Spirit Masters, Saint Spirit Village has arrived!"
"Good, thank you..."
"Oh, Spirit Master Su Yuntao, it's been a long time. It really is a case of 'better late than never' to return at just the right time, to coincidentally meet you on the day you come to our village to awaken Spirits!"
Just as Old Jack heard Su Yuntao's question and was about to respond, a voice extremely familiar to Old Jack came from the direction of the village entrance.
Hearing this voice, everyone turned to look.
Immediately, they saw two figures alight from a luxurious carriage.
Then they walked quickly towards them.
Seeing the smaller of the two figures, Old Jack was first stunned, then immediately exclaimed with a face full of pleasant surprise.
"Xiaoyu, it's actually you! You've returned! Oh, my little grandson, you've returned!"
The two people who had just gotten off the carriage were precisely Sun Yu and Li Zhan, who had returned with him.
"Grandpa! I'm back!"
Sun Yu looked at Grandpa Jack's excited face, his own mood also very excited and thrilled.
"Good child, it's good you're back, it's good you're back..."
Old Jack took Sun Yu's hand, looked up at his little grandson, who was now a little taller than himself, his old, wrinkled face filled with joy!
"Xiaoyu, are you Sun Yu?"
Su Yuntao, standing beside them, looked at Sun Yu, who seemed almost like a different person, and asked with a face full of surprise.
Was this still the poor boy in patched clothes from back then?!
It had only been a few years, and he had grown so much...
Had this kid done so well for himself outside?
"Yes, it's me, Spirit Master Su Yuntao. It really has been a long time. How have you been recently?"
"Good, although a bit busy, I'm doing alright..."
Su Yuntao looked at Sun Yu's confident smile, his face filled with astonishment.
Just as Su Yuntao felt astonished, he saw the burly man behind Sun Yu. Feeling the aura emanating from this burly man, a cold sweat couldn't help but trickle down Su Yuntao's forehead.
A strong person. This burly man behind Sun Yu was definitely a strong person whose strength far surpassed his own!
Such a strong person, even the dean and city lord of Nuoding City couldn't compare to him...
Good heavens, what exactly had this kid been doing these past two years?
He could even have a strong person providing personal protection for him?!
After a brief moment of daze, Su Yuntao quickly cupped his hands and greeted Li Zhan.
"I am Su Yuntao, the twenty-seventh-level attack system Battle Spirit Master and deacon of the Spirit Hall Nuoding City branch. My Spirit is Lone Wolf. I greet Senior! I was unaware of Senior's arrival and failed to meet you. Please forgive my offense!"
"Hmm..."
To Su Yuntao's greeting, Li Zhan nodded slightly, acknowledging it.
And as for Li Zhan's coldness, Su Yuntao didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction.
After all, this was the attitude a strong person should have.
"Oh, Xiaoyu, who is this Spirit Master...?"
Watching the dignified Spirit Grandmaster Su Yuntao show such respect to the burly man behind Sun Yu, Old Jack, while feeling terrified, also asked curiously.
"Oh, Grandpa, this is a teacher from the academy I'm currently attending. He happened to be passing by Nuoding City, so I invited him to be a guest at Saint Spirit Village. In a few days, I'll return to the academy with Teacher Li!"
"Oh, I see. Good, good. Hello, Teacher, thank you for your trouble!"
"It's no trouble, Old Sir. Sun Yu is considered a genius at our academy, so it's nothing for me to return a few days later!"
Seeing that Old Jack was Sun Yu's grandfather, Li Zhan also didn't put on airs, cupping his hands and speaking in a booming voice.
Seeing a strong person, at least at the Spirit Elder level, cupping his hands to him, Old Jack felt flattered for a moment!
However, amidst his flattery, the forgetful Old Jack suddenly and inexplicably recalled the promise Sun Yu made to him when he first sent Xiaoyu to Notting Academy, just as he was about to leave...
