At five in the afternoon, after a full day of studying, Su Yuan dismissed all the students.
Only he and Chen Nuoyi remained in the classroom.
"Class Monitor, I heard from someone that your Chen Family has a special bloodline that only awakens once you're an adult. Do you know anything about that?"
Su Yuan pulled over a chair, sat across from Chen Nuoyi, and asked solemnly.
The Girl was taken aback when Su Yuan suddenly asked about a secret he shouldn't have known.
Then she lowered her head, a little embarrassed, and murmured:
"So you already know... I was going to keep it from you and secretly awaken my bloodline in the outskirts of the city."
"When our Lineage first awakens its bloodline, there's a chance we'll go berserk and hurt someone."
Su Yuan shook his head.
"From the sound of it, awakening your bloodline is pretty dangerous."
"What if something goes wrong and there's nobody to protect you? And you kept this from me? That's not very friendly of you."
He thought for a moment, then said:
"From now on, I'll stick by your side every step of the way. Tomorrow, I'll invite Yin Qiyue and a few classmates I'm close to, and we'll celebrate your birthday together."
"Once your birthday celebration is over, you can go awaken your bloodline in high spirits."
"And don't worry about hurting me if your bloodline runs wild. I've got someone powerful backing me up."
As he spoke, Su Yuan's collar shifted, and a little blood-red snake crawled out.
It was Bai Ling.
They had gotten back too late the previous night, and Su Yuan hadn't wanted to disturb the White-haired Loli's sleep, so he hadn't sent Bai Ling back.
Now that he needed Bai Ling again, it worked out perfectly.
