Hua: "We Attend Casell Academy."

Chen Junxuan is not the kind of matchmaker who frantically and obviously helps younger people with their love troubles.

With nothing even remotely planned, he chose to proceed subtly and quietly. People like Su Qing'an, to put it nicely, are aloof and reserved, but to put it bluntly, they're taciturn.

This kind of person clearly doesn't fully express their emotions. Their true temperature might be as intense as underground magma, but the warmth they project is less than that of a cheap hand warmer.

Therefore, Chen Junxuan didn't need any clumsy attempts at serious assistance. He only needed to convey the message that Su Qing'an had very few friends, had an extremely awkward personality, and that the fact that he brought you along meant you were special. That was enough.

He wouldn't do anything unnecessary. In the eyes of older people, dating is a matter of stages, and too rapid progress might make people overlook the beauty of the ambiguous and hazy period.

One step at a time, until finally reaching the destination.

From that day forward, they would support each other through thick and thin, sharing life and death.

A line of poetry from Shenzhou perfectly expresses a view on love.

We made a vow of life and death, to be together forever. I hold your hand, and we will grow old together.

The only reason Chen Junxuan is willing to live is because his wife doesn't want him to leave this world in this way.

Sometimes choosing death is an act of love, but choosing to live on, carrying the weight and expectations of another person, is an even greater act of love.

Chen Junxuan chose the latter.

He has traveled all over the world, seen all kinds of boxing, and seen all kinds of scenery.

Chen Junxuan went to see the world properly on behalf of his wife. The island nation in the Far East was the last stop he chose. He originally planned to return after experiencing the season when cherry blossoms were in full bloom.

But an unexpected event led him to return to Shenzhou ahead of schedule. Afterwards, Chen Junxuan returned to the ancient town he hadn't been to for a very long time, as promised, and chose to spend the rest of his life there.

Su Qing'an, on the other hand, was a small surprise and an unexpected event that happened in his life.

This unexpected event allowed the elderly man, who was destined to die, to live out his remaining years peacefully in this ancient town.

After a hearty breakfast, Su Qing'an felt the decades of skill he had accumulated. He felt deeply ashamed of himself, and even a cooking genius like Mei was at a complete disadvantage in the face of a chef whose martial arts extended to every aspect of life.

Perhaps after years of experience, Mei can gain insights into cooking from the Beichen Ichi-ryu, and only then will she be able to transcend her original limitations and reach the level of an elder.

But Raiden Mei is still too inexperienced. Even with her superior kitchen utensils, carefully selected ingredients, and other advantages, she still can't compete with decades of experience.

Suppressing the strange thoughts in his heart, Su Qing'an smiled and chatted with the old man. In his impression, the teacher was not the kind of person who liked to play matchmaker, so he had already overlooked Chen Junxuan's previous actions.

The old man changed the subject and spoke to the girl who had been silent:

"Miss Fu, I heard that your school is called Kassel Academy?"

Yes, that's right.

The blame should be placed on Su Qing'an. During a phone call, Chen Junxuan asked Su Qing'an the name of his academy, and at that moment, the boy blurted out Kassel Academy.

Clearly, Su Qing'an's extensive reading from his previous life allowed him to speak eloquently at crucial moments.

This Kassel Academy, which existed in a novel he had read before, must have been a dangerous place that couldn't be openly discussed if it really existed.

Thankfully, that novel doesn't exist in this world; otherwise, the old man could easily expose his lie with a simple search on Baidu.

Fu Hua found Su Qing'an's subtle changes in expression particularly amusing. This person usually seemed very reliable, and could understand and perform tasks excellently on his own without needing reminders from others. Yet, he made a strange mistake that was both laughable and absurd.

But it's kind of cute, the thought flashed through the girl's mind, and at the same time, she had already given her answer:

"Casell Academy is a private university located in the Great Lakes region of Illinois, a suburb of Chicago."

"We have a sister school relationship with the University of Chicago and enjoy extensive academic exchanges."

This academy does not exist in this world, but Fu Hua has added it herself through her permission to access the Schicksal Database. Everything she said is a real thing that can be found online.

In short, in order to cover up Su Qing'an's lies, she created a ghost academy that almost actually existed in this world.

Given Chen Junxuan's network of connections, unless he actually went to the United States to investigate, he certainly wouldn't be able to find anything wrong.

Seeing the old man listening attentively, Fu Hua continued:

"Every year, we jointly host inter-school competitions on Lake Michigan, including equestrian, rowing, hot air ballooning, and swimming events, as well as broader academic exchanges."

"Casell Academy's main research focus is on ancient reptiles, so the academic workload is quite heavy. However, the advantage is that job placement is guaranteed after graduation. Su Qing'an will probably become an archaeologist like his parents after graduation."

Chen Junxuan nodded and smiled:

"Miss Fu said is pretty much the same as what Qing An said. It seems like this is a good college. Is the main focus biology? That overlaps with my major back then. Maybe we can discuss it later."

The old man sighed:

"Archaeologists are great! Go out and see the world. The world is vast. I've even encountered some bizarre creatures that even jackals and tigers wouldn't stand a chance against. The charm of nature is truly boundless."

"So Qing'an, you can't neglect martial arts either. This world is still very dangerous."

Su Qing'an had heard Chen Junxuan mention this incident before, and it was this event that redefined the boy's perception of the old man's fighting prowess. Could a normal person kill Honkai Beast with their bare hands?

That's absolutely outrageous. Especially considering the old man's description, it was a three-meter-tall Chariot-class Honkai Beast.

However, Su Qing'an could understand how arduous and terrifying that battle was.

Given Chen Junxuan's resistance to Honkai Energy, the fact that Honkai Energy by it can only mean that the Honkai Beast wandered into his path by chance, so the concentration of Honkai Energy around him wasn't high.

Even so, if you are injured by Honkai Beast during the battle, you may face Honkai Infection.

The fact that the old man is standing here unharmed shows that the battle was not evenly matched, because if it were evenly matched, it would be impossible not to get injured, and once injured and bleeding, it almost certainly means death.

In other words, the old man, without any weapons, brutally killed a Chariot-class Honkai Beast.

As Su Qing'an's martial arts mentor, Chen Junxuan was actually quite abnormal himself.

He continued to ask:

"By the way, I heard that Qing'an's older sister works there as a teacher?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Hua immediately realized who he was referring to, and she replied:

"You must be referring to Murata Himeko, right?"

"She was responsible for teaching many subjects about basic biology, and our performance evaluations were basically judged by her."

"Our school rules are actually quite strict. I was able to come out this time because of Himeko, and of course, my passing grades last semester were also one of the reasons."

The girl's words were logical and well-founded, and the details were convincing.

Fu Hua then vividly described Su Qing'an achieved excellent results in the previous equestrian competition and how much she loved hot air ballooning.

At the same time, he is also the head of the sailing club, whose members have won various competition awards. Su Qing'an, with his superb martial arts skills, completely conquered several members through competitions in just three months.

During this period, he also tried to run for the position of student council president, but unfortunately, he lost the election because he was only a freshman and did not have enough popularity.

In his spare time, Su Qing'an also participated in several chess competitions, and won a place in every one of them.

Even in the monthly grades and final summaries, Su Qing'an's design ideas and solid foundation make the teachers happy to have such an outstanding student.

When discussing this part, Fu Hua used a lot of technical jargon to strengthen his persuasiveness and even fabricated some so-called exam assignments on the spot. Chen Junxuan agreed with this and said that he could only give the same evaluation if he were in his shoes.

Su Qing'an now a prominent figure at the Casell Academy. He's practically aiming for the student council president position by his sophomore year, and he has countless admirers throughout the college. Rumor has it that even the neighboring University of Chicago has fans of his.

Fu Hua's words perfectly captured the essence of a thrilling shonen manga, while also incorporating glimpses of everyday university life and the chance encounter between the two in the library.

The series of fabrications and baseless claims not only captivated Chen Junxuan but also left Su Qing'an, the person involved, in awe.

Am I really that amazing?

Su Qing'an felt that even if such an academy really existed, he probably wouldn't cause much of a stir if he went in, even if he had the ability to completely replicate what Fu Hua said.

Because, according to his personality and logic, joining a club is already quite difficult, let alone running for student council, such an ambitious activity, is something he would never even consider.

However, Chen Junxuan completely believed it. He now felt that Su Qing'an had emerged from the shadow of her parents' passing and found the meaning of life in such a pleasant academy life. From then on, the world became incredibly bright, and her life philosophy became positive and different from before.

Even now, the young man is about to find a beautiful love, which makes Chen Junxuan feel extremely gratified. He smiled and patted Su Qing'an on the shoulder, and the expectant expression on his face made Su Qing'an feel complicated.

Perhaps in this old man's eyes, other things in his life were more important than his progress in martial arts.

This gives value to this well-intentioned lie.
