The Chen Family Is Truly Too Dark!

Li Ziquan ignored the classmates shouting about a cover-up and said calmly:

"In my opinion, those in the class with higher martial arts achievements than Su Yuan, such as Chen Nuoyi, Chu Lanxi, and even Wu Xingqi, have the solid strength to enter the Special Class."

"The Martial Arts Competition isn't that important to them."

"But Su Yuan is a late bloomer. If we go by this month's monthly exam scores, it will be difficult for him to enter the Special Class."

"Therefore, this opportunity is more important for Su Yuan, and it's more suitable to leave it to him."

"As for the classmates whose martial arts scores are below those mentioned above, if you have any objections, just keep them to yourselves."

The classmates fell silent.

Wu Xingqi's Rising Sun Fist and Seven Star Steps were both at the Great Accomplishment level. Her martial arts monthly exam scores consistently remained above 140, and her martial arts ranking was always in the top five, or even top three.

In terms of martial arts, the only ones stronger than her were indeed the few Li Ziquan had just mentioned.

And Su Yuan had instantly defeated even these powerhouses. To be honest, Su Yuan truly deserved this competition spot.

But as the saying goes, a brother's success is truly agonizing!

Seeing this, Li Ziquan nodded with satisfaction. She turned to look at Su Yuan, who was still a bit stunned, and her tone softened:

"Su Yuan, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Just like our class won't necessarily produce an ace, other classes will likely select students with special talents in martial arts, rather than the top ten overall."

Su Yuan naturally had no reason to refuse Teacher Li's kind intentions. He quickly came back to his senses and nodded solemnly.

Then Li Ziquan continued:

"That powerhouse who graduated from the top ten should arrive within a few days. In such a short time, practicing Rising Sun Fist and Seven Star Steps won't significantly improve your abilities."

"So, I plan to teach you a special combat Mind Method."

"You should comprehend as much as you can during this time to achieve a surprise victory."

"If you can master it, you'll have two trump cards in the Martial Arts Competition: Variant Spiritual Power and the combat Mind Method. Your chances of placing will be very high."

Without waiting for Su Yuan's reply, Li Ziquan took out her phone and tapped on it a few times:

"The electronic version of this Mind Method has already been sent to you via the class group chat. Please receive it after school and cultivate it well at home."

Su Yuan: "Uh, okay."

With that, the selection for the Martial Arts Competition was finalized, and martial arts class continued as usual.

As the sun began to set and the dismissal bell rang, Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi immediately headed to the kitchen behind the cafeteria.

Because the Dragon Scale Roasted Goose was very popular at noon and had many pre-orders, Chef Li waved his hand and had Su Yuan roast two geese at once, without Su Yuan even needing to ask.

As for the profit sharing, Chef Li stated that daily settlements were not possible, but he guaranteed weekly settlements.

Both of them had no objections and happily got to work.

Processing one Dragon Scale Goose took nearly two hours, but processing and roasting two geese together only added about half an hour to their workload.

Just past 8:30 PM, only a few minutes after nightfall, they were done with work.

"Class Monitor, that combat Mind Method Teacher Li sent me, I don't think I can cultivate it quickly. Could you study it with me tonight?"

Su Yuan flipped through the electronic version of the Mind Method information on his phone, speaking to the girl beside him without looking up.

However, he received no reply for a long time.

Su Yuan paused slightly, stopped, and turned to look. He then realized that Chen Nuoyi had fallen several steps behind him and was standing still at the school gate, staring blankly ahead.

Su Yuan followed her gaze forward and was almost blinded.

Outside the school gate, a flying boat, entirely jet black and shimmering under the night sky like a work of art, had appeared at some point.

This flying boat hovered about thirty centimeters off the ground and was eight meters long! Its luxurious aura was overwhelming!

Household flying boats were generally only about four meters long. Judging by its size alone, it was clear this flying boat was extraordinary.

"Holy crap!"

Su Yuan couldn't help but exclaim.

Could this be the legendary flagship luxury flying boat, the Wanxing S-Class, produced by Shenchi Company?

This was an ultra-luxury flying boat worth tens of millions, equivalent to a Golden Core True Person's annual income!

"Why would a flying boat of this caliber be here? When did Taihua High School get such a rich student?"

Su Yuan couldn't help but wonder.

The next second, he suddenly realized something, and his heart skipped a beat.

Chen Nuoyi's unusual reaction just now, combined with her family background, made the situation very clear.

He quickly moved to Chen Nuoyi's side and lowered his voice:

"I understand this trope. After the Dragon King falls into despair, his former enemies will all come out to court death, targeting his wife and daughter."

"And then, your Dragon King Father will make a grand entrance, instantly killing all the enemies just as you're about to be captured, making a big show of it."

Chen Nuoyi: "..."

After a long silence, she spoke softly:

"The person who came is likely... my maternal grandfather."

"Ah, your grandfather? Then I take back what I said, hahahaha."

Su Yuan chuckled awkwardly, inwardly scolding himself fiercely.

Su Yuan, Su Yuan, you've watched too many short dramas and let them get into your head. Where are there so many Dragon King tropes of rising from obscurity to show off?

Now you're in an awkward spot, having mistaken the man's grandfather for a brainless villain.

"Wait, your grandfather?"

Su Yuan suddenly realized something, his expression shifting to one of feigned concern for a friend's struggles, contrasted with envy for their success!

You, with your serious demeanor, weren't you supposed to be ruined and bankrupt? And now, if the Dragon King father isn't reliable, here comes a Dragon King grandfather?

Su Yuan was filled with anguish.

The fallen young lady only experienced life in the common class for a few days before being welcomed back into the embrace of the wealthy elite. Who's going to help me roast goose now?

The Chen Family is just too dark!

But at this moment, as if sensing Su Yuan's thoughts, Chen Nuoyi softly explained:

"My father married into the Chen family. He was kicked out because he owed my maternal grandfather's family 16.8 billion."

"I can't abandon my father, and for some other reasons, I don't want to go back to that home."

Su Yuan: "..."

Well, that adds even more elements.

Not just a modern-day Dragon King, but a modern-day Dragon King who married into the family. Will he learn ancient medicine next?

By now, Su Yuan had finally completely understood Chen Nuoyi's relationship with the owner of the flying ship before them.

It was a very cliché development: Chen Nuoyi wanted to leave the family and make it on her own, taking care of her lonely father.

Her maternal grandfather didn't agree, so he specifically came to the School to intercept her, intending to forcibly take the Chen Family's daughter away.

But this was, after all, their family matter, and Su Yuan couldn't comment.

As Chen Nuoyi bravely walked forward, Su Yuan followed behind her, ready to spectate.

When the young woman reached the flying ship, its window slowly rolled down, revealing the face of a middle-aged man, around forty years old, with an imposing presence.
