I, Su Chen, Am a Proper Person Who Writes a Diary

On the road.

Ye Lingling arranged for people from Martial Soul Hall to drive the carriage, while Su Chen began recording yet another new day!

[Look at that, I said yesterday would be a beautiful day, and it truly was wonderful.]

[Hu Liena is such a tormenting little enchantress, and Ye Lingling is also a tormenting little enchantress; life is truly infinitely beautiful!]

[Today is another day full of vitality... wait, my vitality isn't full today. My Three Points Return to Origin Qi outputted all night long, good thing the Nine Yang Divine Skill recovers quickly.]

[Hmm... heading back with Ye Lingling to meet her parents today. I'll stop writing for now; I need to ask her who exactly is in her family first. It seems I haven't prepared any gifts either—this is awkward.]

[Damn, I have to write about Huo Wu again today?]

Su Chen was stunned as he wrote this.

Something was wrong.

Writing about Huo Wu yesterday, and writing about Huo Wu again today.

Could it be that these sneaky peepers aren't even the same group of people?

Absurd.

Based on his experience reading books in his past life, he figured he had guessed correctly. Since he had to write about Huo Wu again today, he would just have to observe further.

But it didn't matter.

Regardless of what he had to write or which sneaky peepers were watching, he was writing a proper diary. Everything he wrote could withstand scrutiny, and there was absolutely no content that would cause a social death.

Sigh.

It was a good thing he had kept his wits about him from the very first day, never being a pervert in his diary. How great! How wonderful!

I, Su Chen, am a serious man who keeps a diary.

What you see is only what I want you to see. Don't think I don't know you sneaky peepers are all watching!

Thinking of this, Su Chen suddenly said to Ye Lingling, "Lingling, while we have a moment, hurry and tell me about your family situation."

"Hmm... let's stop on the way to buy something. Since it's my first visit, I should bring some gifts!"

Ye Lingling looked at Su Chen tenderly and said:

"You've forgotten, you've already given the most precious gift—my Martial Soul Evolution. What gift could be more precious than that?"

"And you helped my family secure their future; these are all infinitely precious gifts that I could never repay."

Su Chen ruffled her hair, dotingly saying, "That's how you see it, but I still need to be polite. Buying anything at all is better than showing up empty-handed."

"I'll give you the chance to show off. Take me to pick out some things your family likes, and we'll head over with those gifts."

Spirit Branch Hall.

Hu Liena saw the contents of this diary entry and was instantly dumbfounded.

Are you serious?

Su Chen, do you even realize what you're writing?

Can't you write something proper? If not, why don't you just write about Huo Wu!

Clearly.

Others might not understand these entries, but after receiving a night of "vitality output," how could Hu Liena not understand the implications?

You're just bullying them because they don't understand your dirty metaphors!

"Forget it, I'll go find Xiao Xue first."

Hu Liena put on her clothes, but after just two steps, she felt that her gait was a bit strange today...

This?

Maybe she shouldn't meet Xiao Xue today.

No, that won't work!

Su Chen said he was leaving tomorrow; if she didn't meet Xiao Xue today, there wouldn't be any time left tomorrow!

Whatever.

Xiao Xue is still a naive novice; what could she possibly notice? Hmph, despite being older than me, she knows nothing!

Crown Prince Mansion.

Qian Renxue had just returned from the imperial palace when she was informed that Hu Liena was already waiting for her at the mansion.

Hmm?

Qian Renxue couldn't help but feel a bit suspicious. She had only seen her yesterday, so why was she here again today?

Wasn't it agreed that because of their special status, they shouldn't have too much intimate contact?

In the mansion's reception hall.

Seeing Qian Renxue return, Hu Liena hurriedly stood up and called out:

"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Qian Renxue nodded slightly and said elegantly, "Miss Hu Liena, there is no need for such formalities. We are friends, so you may simply call me Brother Qinghe."

She was currently in the guise of Xue Qinghe.

Hu Liena nodded and asked, "I enjoyed our conversation yesterday, Brother Qinghe. Would it be possible for us to share a few drinks again today?"

Qian Renxue smiled and nodded, "Of course. Please, Miss Hu Liena, this way."

The two walked together toward the backyard.

Before long, they were sitting quietly in a room. Pufferfish Douluo's voice drifted in from outside, "Young Master, the area is clear."

Qian Renxue looked at Hu Liena and asked, "Nana, we only just met yesterday. Why have you come to find me again today? You're making it difficult for me to explain this to others later."

Hu Liena looked a bit sullen and said, "Honestly!"

"I didn't sleep all night just to bring you news, and yet you're complaining about me? Should I just leave then?"

Qian Renxue immediately softened her tone, "My fault! Tell me, Nana, since you didn't sleep all night, how did you manage to get the hidden reward?"

"Huh?"

Hu Liena gave her a strange look, "I'm trying to tell you something important, why are you asking such shameless questions?"

"Shameless?"

Qian Renxue instantly caught the key point.

Hu Liena's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly changed the subject, "It's like this: Su Chen came back yesterday and told me about your situation. He asked me to arrange a meeting with you tonight!"

"What?"

"Su Chen wants to meet me?"

Hearing this, Qian Renxue's tone turned excited. A strange, inexplicable tension rose in her heart, accompanied by a tiny spark of surprise.

Hu Liena continued, "Su Chen said your approach isn't as good as the Teacher's. That Xue Beng has been feigning incompetence all along, and he has Xue Xing supporting him from the shadows."

"He said you are going to fail, so he wants to meet you tonight to give you some guidance!"

Qian Renxue felt a surge of nerves, "Did he say anything else?"

Hu Liena shook her head, "He didn't say anything else. I suppose he'll tell you when he meets you tonight."

"Hmm... I told him I hoped he would stay and help you, but he said he dislikes trouble. He said there is only one condition under which he would help you."

Qian Renxue was instantly overjoyed, "What condition? What did he ask for? As long as it helps me, I will certainly satisfy him!"

Hu Liena chuckled, "Don't be so happy yet. He didn't set any conditions. What he meant was that he only intervenes personally in matters concerning Ye Lingling and me."

"If you were willing to be his wife, he would have no reason to watch you fail. But I know you'd find that hard to accept, so you shouldn't get your hopes up."

Qian Renxue was stunned into silence.

Although she felt a certain resonance with this Su Chen whom she had yet to meet—a shared sense of homesickness—this was just too reckless.

Was she supposed to sacrifice herself just to complete the Heaven Dou infiltration mission?

As proud as she was, Qian Renxue might have considered it if Su Chen were single, but he already had two wives. How could she possibly share a husband with others?

Qian Renxue looked at Hu Liena with a bewildered expression and asked, "Nana, you are the Teacher's disciple and you are proud enough yourself; how could you agree to share a husband with others?"

"You aren't an ordinary woman, either!"

Hu Liena pondered the question, then said with a serious face, "Because I'm a romantic fool!"

"I liked him a little the first time I saw him, but he only had fifteen levels of Soul Power back then, and I knew we could never be together."

"Later, he unlocked some sort of Golden Finger—that Diary—and I stopped worrying. But when I pursued him, he was completely honest and shared his dream with me."

"What dream?"
