Suyi: "How Is My Daughter Supposed to Win?" [First Update] (Continued)
While everyone was sizing up Ji Yuan and the Robin, the Robin was also sizing up Ji Yuan.
Is this the legendary figure?
The special envoy of the Marshal of the Celestial Ark Alliance, the secretary to the chairman of the Interastral Peace Corporation and the deputy director of the Strategic Investment Department, and a member of the Genius Society. These three positions combined hold extremely important positions throughout the universe. They are even comparable to Penacony's [Dreamweaver], and that's only considering that Ji Yuan's physical strength is insufficient to Emanator's level.
In the Robin's imagination, such a great figure should sit in a spacious and tall building, reviewing various documents from the Celestial Ark Alliance or the Interastral Peace Corporation every day. With just a wave of his hand, he could decide the survival or destruction of civilizations on several planets.
And what does Ji Yuan look like now that appears before the Robin?
Are you playing games with two girls?
How did you manage to keep going with this identity?
The Robin imagined what it would be like if their Penacony's "Dreamweaver" were idly playing cards on the street.
"No, I never expected this."
Just as she was thinking this to herself, Ji Yuan looked her over and asked, "Miss Robin, is there something you need from me?"
Before today, I didn't know any Robin. What did she want from me? Ji Yuan was completely confused.
"I was invited by the Interastral Peace Corporation to attend your ceremony. The company said it was a grand event jointly organized by the Celestial Ark Alliance and the Interastral Peace Corporation, so they hoped I could perform at this event. When I was touring the entire galaxy, I received a lot of help from the company, so naturally I had no reason to refuse."
The Robin answered Ji Yuan. After answering, she didn't forget to ask Ji Yuan, "By the way, Mr. Ji Yuan, what exactly is this grand event that the company is talking about? That way I can prepare my performance for it."
Before Ji Yuan could answer, Qingque spoke for him, "Of course, it's my friend's coming-of-age ceremony. For Celestial Ark Native, coming of age involves a trial and a ceremony. Of course, given my friend's abilities, the trial and such are unnecessary. So only the celebration remains."
Cheng, coming-of-age ceremony.
Upon hearing the Qingque 'Robin words, the robin felt as if she were watching an absurd comedy. Invited to attend the important ceremony of someone of great stature in the entire universe—a coming-of-age ceremony?
You might as well say it's a birthday celebration of several hundred years; that would make the Robin comfortable.
Seeing the Robin's frightened expression, Tingyun quickly added, "The coming-of-age ceremony is only part of it. The main purpose is to celebrate Ji Yuan's achievements in the battle between the Luofu Starfaring Vessel and the Buli Ren. He killed the Emanator of Abundance, the Living Planet, and the leader of the Buli Ren, and led the Cloud Knights to eliminate nearly a million Buli Ren soldiers."
Oh, I see. Now that you put it that way...
That's even more absurd, isn't it?
Whose youth, not even past adulthood, has already gone to slay Emanator on a living planet? Robin once felt her brother was already a standout among young people, exceptionally intelligent and possessing extraordinary skills. But compared to this youth before her, the gap was vast.
"Okay, I understand."
The Robin forced a smile and nodded.
At this moment, Qingque was worried that Ji Yuan would think of his last Stellar Jade, so she quickly stood up and said to Robin, "By the way, Miss Robin, are you staying at a hotel over here? I'll take you there."
The Robin thanked the Qingque, saying, "Thank you so much."
"It's nothing, it's nothing, it's what I should do."
I should thank you, because if it weren't for your arrival, I would have lost my last Stellar Jade.
Qingque didn't really care about money; she wouldn't mind even if she lost it all. But the fact that she could gain an advantage over Ji Yuan made her feel very happy.
Ji Yuan and Tingyun had nothing else to do, so they decided to walk towards their lodgings together with the Qingque and the Robin.
"Is this appropriate? Shouldn't you have many things to do?"
Although he knew that Ji Yuan's personality was not like the other former members of the Star Sea, Robin still hesitated a bit when it came to personally delivering the gift.
Upon hearing that he might have something to do, Ji Yuan couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
Fu Xuan, why are you stopping me from working for the Xianzhou and from becoming a Scroll King?
"These past few days have been the most relaxed I've ever been."
"Oh well."
Robin was actually curious about Ji Yuan's personality, so she nodded in agreement.
The four then walked side by side toward Exalting Sanctum's residence.
At first Robin was a little nervous around Ji Yuan and felt uneasy and conflicted when talking to him. However, as they chatted more, the Robin gradually relaxed.
Ji Yuan is truly different from ordinary strong individuals.
While Ji Yuan was chatting with the Robin, he noticed something.
He stopped and asked the Robin, "Miss Robin, are you from Penacony?"
The Robin nodded. "Yes, my brother and I are Penacony. I belong to the Iris Family, while my brother is the head of the Oak Family. After attending your victory celebration, Mr. Ji Yuan, I will return to Penacony to attend the Harmony Festival."
After saying that, she asked somewhat nervously, "Um, Mr. Ji Yuan, is there something you need to ask about?"
"After my coming-of-age ceremony, I'll probably have to go to Penacony. In that case, we'll probably see each other again soon after I leave."
The Robin's beautiful face showed surprise. "Oh? Is that so? Is Mr. Ji Yuan also going to participate in the Harmony Festival?"
"Maybe so. I'm mainly going there to pick people up. But if it happens to coincide with the festival, I'll definitely attend the Harmony Festival."
"Then I will treat you well at that time, and I hope you will have a wonderful experience at the Harmony Festival."
"I believe you will also have an excellent travel experience in Xianzhou."
Ji Yuan made a promise to the Robin.
"Yes, I believe it will definitely happen."
The Robin nodded vigorously, the shape of its wings shining brightly in the light. Looking at her, Ji Yuan truly felt that no one was more suitable for the title of "cosmic superstar" than her.
After delivering the Robin to their hotel, Ji Yuan and Tingyun headed home.
Halfway there, Ji Yuan suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but clap his hands.
"Oh dear, I almost forgot about something."
"Hmm? What is it?"
Tingyun asked Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan picked up his phone and glanced at the time. "Judging from the time, Mother should be heading to the Luofu Starfaring Vessel by now. She's probably already there. I spent a bit too long fighting with Qingque over the Jade Abacus, so I forgot."
"Then let's hurry back."
Tingyun was also in a bit of a hurry.
He grabbed Ji Yuan and ran towards home.
At this moment, in Ji Yuan's home, in Sushang's room.
Looking at the woman standing in front of her, Miss Sushang was enduring immense pain.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch... Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, Mom, I was wrong..."
Suyi pinched her ears until they were almost swollen before Suyi finally let her go.
Looking around the room, Suyi frowned and said, "What kind of state is this? Not to mention the mess in the room, there isn't a single book. Have you not studied at all lately? You've even neglected your martial arts. I entered your room and you didn't even notice. If this were a battlefield, Buli Ren would have ripped your guts out."
He's bad at martial arts, lacks education, and most importantly, he doesn't even care about cleanliness anymore. Now, when I go out, I want to tell everyone that I only have one son.
Daughter? What are you talking about? I don't know anything about her.
Sushang quickly made up an excuse and lied to her mother. "I was just a little tired from fighting Buli Ren a few days ago."
Unfortunately, her mother ruthlessly exposed her lie. "So how many Buli Ren did you kill? Thirty, or fifty? Does your military merit amount to even one percent of your brother's?"
Upon hearing this, Sushang spread her hands and said dismissively, "How can I compare to my brother's freakish side? He can even obtain the blessings of the Trailblazer of the Hunt and the Keeper of the Celestial Forge. My level is indeed inferior to my brother's."
Suyi quickly patted her chest.
My own flesh and blood, my own flesh and blood, my own flesh and blood...
I just couldn't resist!
"Sushang, do you think it's possible that I gave birth to the wrong baby in the hospital?"
Qin Suyi was already starting to doubt reality.
Hearing her mother's words, Sushang's eyes widened:
"Mother, what are you saying? Look at our appearances, what else could we be but mother and daughter?"
Suyi asked Sushang again in a questioning tone, "How about we publish a notice in the newspaper announcing that we are severing ties? From now on, I will only have one son."
"It can't be that bad."
Severing ties is impossible, so the matter comes back to the choice of fighting.
Suyi launched into a thorough and engaging lesson for Sushang.
After the lecture, Qin Suyi's anger subsided slightly.
She then looked at Sushang, who had been shattered into black and white, and continued, "Now do you understand? After your brother's coming-of-age ceremony, come back to the Yaoging Star-skiff with me."
Upon hearing this, Sushang instantly regained her composure.
"No, I don't want to go back to Yaoging Star-skiff with you. My brother and Tingyun have both promised to take care of me for the rest of my life. So, I can stay here indefinitely."
As she said this, she wriggled violently on the bed a few more times, adopting a posture of "a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water," and "I'd rather be beaten again than leave."
Suyi said angrily, "Your brother and the others don't care, but I do. I want to see my grandchildren as soon as possible. How can you stay here?"
Hearing this, Sushang hesitated for a moment, then said very seriously, "Mother, I will absolutely not agree to being forced into marriage. If you dare to send me back to marry someone else, I will commit suicide before that happens. Then I will transform into something like that Shanbo and come looking for my brother."
Suyi's anger was almost solidified.
She grabbed Su Sushang and dragged her off the bed.
"Liang Shanbo is a man, so you should be studying Zhu Yingtai. With your intelligence, I have no intention of letting you have any more children, lest you become even more foolish. What I mean is that you stay here and disrupt Ji Yuan and Tingyun's life."
Qin Suyi showed no fear even when facing Buli Ren's Antimatter Legion, which outnumbered her by hundreds of times, but she finally broke down when facing her daughter.
"Oh, I see. I understand now."
After the explanation was clear, a smile returned to Sushang's face.
"Don't worry, I won't delay you."
"That won't work either."
Qin Suyi interrupted her directly.
"That's despotism."
Sushang offered various explanations, but Suyi remained unmoved.
"Mother, I have no choice. Tingyun is so good to me. I can't possibly ruin their relationship."
Upon hearing this, Suyi also felt somewhat troubled.
She glared fiercely at Sushang.
It's because you didn't take good care of yourself when you were young.
"Hmph, in short, you'll have to figure out what to do next yourself. I'll be here these next few days and try to think of a solution for you."
Suyi felt she was heartbroken over her daughter's situation.
As she was thinking this, she glanced out the window.
The room door opened, and Ji Yuan and Tingyun walked in.
Upon seeing Ji Yuan, the gloom on Suyi's face vanished instantly.
With a son like that, Li must be laughing in his dreams.
She walked outside in Suyi.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to glare fiercely at Sushang.
It's shameful, so shameful.
Ji Yuan and Tingyun had just walked hand in hand across the courtyard when Suyi appeared at the door of the house inside.
Seeing Suyi, Ji Yuan said somewhat embarrassedly, "Mom, I'm sorry that you made me come all the way from Yaoging Star-skiff after only a short time away last time."
Suyi smiled gently, "It's my child's coming-of-age ceremony, so no matter how busy I am, I have to come. Besides, you've made such a great contribution to the Xianzhou, if I don't come to celebrate for you, my colleagues on the Yaoging Star-skiff will think that my relationship with my son is not good."
"Who said that? I'm going to find him and make trouble for him right now."
Meanwhile, Tingyun, upon hearing Ji Yuan's words, naturally knew that the beautiful young woman before her was Ji Yuan and Sushang's mother, and also her own 'mother-in-law'.
"Aunt Suyi Yi, hello."
