Failed Awakening, Summoning a Divine Beast, I Take Off On the Spot – Chapter 39

Ch 39: Unexpected Hidden Worry

After listening, Xiao Ya nodded, fell into contemplation, and then showed a look of doubt.

“If that’s the case, then Li Chuan is likely a descendant of the Li family from Ding City. However, why would he appear in our Yu City and come into conflict with you?”

Chu Qiu was equally puzzled. Li Chuan’s background was clearly far above his. Why would he come to snatch his insignificant Soul Orb?

Could it be that he was really bored, or were there other unknown reasons? He couldn’t figure it out.

The group arrived at the antique “Juying Pavilion” and, led by the waiter, requested an elegantly decorated private room.

Xiao Ya only tasted the dazzling array of delicacies on the table, seemingly maintaining a sense of restraint with each dish.

Xia Mo was completely different. She was full of curiosity and enthusiasm for every dish, eating with relish and occasionally making satisfied exclamations.

Chu Qiu, on the other hand, ate heartily, gobbling down the food without regard for his image, as if he wanted to take all the delicacies into his stomach.

Diting, having made great contributions today, had the right to be on the table. His eating habits were even more heroic, sweeping away the food like a whirlwind.

“By the way, how much is this Soul Orb worth?”

Chu Qiu, who was enjoying his meal, suddenly remembered the Bronze Tier Soul Orb in his arms, quickly took it out, and handed it to Xiao Ya, who was beside him.

Xiao Ya took the Soul Orb and carefully examined it. Faint Soul Power fluctuations flowed on it. She looked up at Chu Qiu, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: “You got it?”

Chu Qiu nodded, his face full of pride, and suddenly remembered that many parts of those defeated Exotic Beasts could be sold for a good price, so he asked expectantly: “How much is a Storage Space?”

Xiao Ya smiled slightly, pointed to the Soul Orb in her hand, and said in a relaxed and casual tone: “Storage Spaces aren’t expensive, one for one.”

Chu Qiu couldn’t help but click his tongue secretly, and muttered in his heart: “Rich lady, I beg for your patronage, I can lick and hold!”

After the meal, Chu Qiu naturally got up to pay the bill, and then went home with Xia Mo in Xiao Ya’s car.

When the car slowly stopped in front of Chu Qiu’s house, Xiao Ya couldn’t help but frown when she saw the dilapidated house in front of her, which seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

She turned to look at Chu Qiu, her eyes full of doubt: “Now that you have money, why don’t you buy a better house?”

Chu Qiu’s eyes became deep and complicated, and he sighed softly, turning his gaze to the two graves in the corner.

He slowly said: “This house, one was built by Grandma Huang, and the other was exchanged for with Chun Lei’s life. There are too many memories and concerns here.”

Xiao Ya nodded silently when she heard this, and didn’t say anything else. After all, everyone has their own stories and persistence.

Chu Qiu quietly watched Xiao Ya’s departing back, his heart full of gratitude and respect.

He knew that Xiao Ya was not only his mentor, but also his guide, giving him countless help and guidance on his path to growth.

Even when he was young and frivolous, and mischievous in class, Mentor Xiao Ya never looked at him differently, but patiently guided him.

Back in the house, Chu Qiu lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, his mind still constantly thinking about everything he had experienced in the past few days.

“Ding!”

An information prompt suddenly sounded, interrupting his thoughts.

Chu Qiu picked up his phone and glanced at it. It turned out to be a message from Fang Yan: “What level are you at? No carry, so tired!”

Chu Qiu curled his lips and replied: “Just reached Tenth Level, how about you?”

Fang Yan replied quickly: “Ninth Level, missing the first day of lying down and winning.”

Chu Qiu smiled, didn’t reply, exited the chat interface, and began to think about his next plans.

Now that he had reached the peak of the Bronze Tier, he needed to awaken his Skill before he could continue to improve his Tier.

Most Skill Awakenings are self-awakened by chance, except for using a Skill Book.

As for the Skill Books that Fang Tian Ce and Xiao Ya had given him before, although they could temporarily solve his problems, that was just a last resort.

Not to mention whether the Skill matched his needs, once he used the Skill Book, it would become more difficult to self-awaken later.

Moreover, if he could self-awaken, using the Skill Book would undoubtedly be a waste, especially for a poor person like him.

Of course, he could also use some special methods, such as taking an Awakening Potion, but this potion was expensive and had a very low success rate, so Chu Qiu couldn’t afford it.

So, it’s the same principle as everyone competing successfully from billions of their peers. The fewer Summoners there are in the later stages, the more powerful the family becomes.

“Sleep, how can you sleep with others if you can’t sleep well yourself?”

Chu Qiu sighed, threw his phone aside, thinking that he would have everything in his dreams, closed his eyes, and gradually fell asleep.

Xiao Ya returned to her warm little nest, and as soon as she entered the door, she couldn’t wait to take off her high heels, letting them scatter in the entrance hall, and also unloaded the fatigue of the day.

She walked into the bathroom, looked herself up and down, just right, and let the warm water slide over her skin, taking away the fatigue.

After coming out, Xiao Ya wore a soft beige oversized knit sweater, which always gave her an unspeakable peace.

She slowly sat on the soft sofa, picked up a glass of red wine that had been prepared long ago, the deep wine gently swaying in the light, flashing an attractive luster, like her complex mood at the moment.

After thinking for a moment, she put down her glass, picked up her phone, and skillfully swiped across the screen, dialing a little-known phone number.

On the other end of the phone, almost as soon as the first ring sounded, a respectful yet steady voice came: “Miss Xiao Ya, what are your orders? I am willing to serve you.”

“Help me investigate Li Chuan. I need to know if he is really a descendant of the Li family, and why he suddenly appeared in Yu City. Is there any unknown secret behind all of this?”

Xiao Ya’s voice was calm, and every word revealed an unquestionable authority.

On the other end of the phone, an even more respectful voice came: “Yes, Miss Xiao Ya, your wish is my command. Please wait a moment, and there will be a reply.”

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Ya picked up her glass again and gently sipped the mellow red wine. The aroma of the wine lingered between her lips and teeth, soothing the waves in her heart.

She slowly leaned on the sofa, closed her eyes, and let her thoughts float freely in the darkness.

After about ten minutes, a burst of rapid phone ringing broke the silence in the room.

Xiao Ya suddenly opened her eyes, picked up her phone and glanced at it, confirmed that it was that mysterious number, and quickly answered the phone.

“I found it, Miss Xiao Ya. Li Chuan is indeed a descendant of the Li family, and he is recognized as a genius in the family. He has always been secretly cultivated in the ancestral land away from the hustle and bustle. Recently, he was urgently recalled by the family.”

The person on the other end of the phone did not speak quickly, but the information was dense, and every detail was clear and accurate.

“Because the National Exam competition in Ding City is extremely fierce, the Li family spared no effort to dredge up relationships in order to allow him to pass the exam more smoothly, and arranged for him to participate in the National Exam in Kan City, where the competition is relatively small.”

“As for why he appeared in Yu City, we have no way of finding out at the moment, but please rest assured, Miss Xiao Ya, I will continue to investigate in depth and strive to give you a satisfactory answer as soon as possible.”

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Ya couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise on her face.

She originally thought that Li Chuan was just a descendant of a small family, but she didn’t expect his background to be so deep.

Even more unexpectedly, his visit to Yu City this time was for the National Exam.

This series of unexpected discoveries couldn’t help but make her feel a little worried about Chu Qiu’s situation.

What’s more, she knew through other channels that Chu Qiu had just killed Chen Che, and the Chen family would naturally not let him go.
