Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 904: Chapter 702: Departure

”Boss, here you go.” At this moment, Ashley pushed the neatly sliced beef over to Su Yuan.

”Alright, thank you.” Su Yuan nodded, spearing a piece with his fork and taking a bite. ”Not bad.”

Su Yuan rarely ate Western food, but the texture and taste here were indeed quite good, worthy of being a restaurant run by the Rhein people.

Wang Haiping also smiled and said, ”I’ve been so caught up in talking, I haven’t even had my meal yet.”

With that, Wang Haiping also picked up a knife and fork and started cutting into the meat.

As he ate, Su Yuan asked, ”Speaking of which, the conflict between the north and south doesn’t seem to affect someone like Jeff, who is from the north of Great Flame, too much?”

Wang Haiping replied, ”For those in the Lower Three Levels and ordinary people who have been in Great Flame for years, as long as they don’t cause trouble, we usually don’t interfere.

People like Jeff have had their families settled here for a generation. The war between the north and south must make these ordinary people quite distressed, I imagine~”

Su Yuan nodded. Most people desire peace, I suppose.

However, when disaster strikes, variables appear and balance is disrupted, naturally, one is not in control.

If you don’t fight, others will;

If Great Flame doesn’t fight, not to mention Qiguang, Black Snow and Huo Luo will certainly fight!

If the forces of Black Snow and Huo Luo thereby increasingly press onto Great Flame, it would not be a good thing for Great Flame...

”Speaking of which, junior brother, you must have received quite a reward for your great achievement, right? Why not strike while the iron is hot and cultivate instead of choosing to come home, which is unlike you?”

Wang Haiping speared a piece of beef and then took a sip of red wine.

Su Yuan said, ”Because I’ve already made a breakthrough, I’ve entered the Burning Sun level.”

”Pfft!!”

Wang Haiping didn’t even have time to lower his head as a mouthful of red wine sprayed out.

”Drip, drip...”

The red liquid halted entirely in front of Su Yuan and then dripped into Wang Haiping’s own plate below, not even staining Su Yuan or the table.

Though this scene was extremely strange, Wang Haiping’s thoughts weren’t on that, but tightly focused on Su Yuan.

”Junior brother, you... you reached Burning Sun?!”

”That’s right, I just had a breakthrough.”

Su Yuan didn’t hide anything from Wang Haiping.

The higher his cultivation, the more attentive the other would be to his parents.

Moreover, now that the Grey Realm has appeared here, it’s not as if he could keep a low profile even if he wanted to.

Hearing Su Yuan’s confirmation, Wang Haiping’s pupils shrank, while Xiao Yu beside him also became slightly dazed, opening her almond-shaped mouth.

A few years ago he was just a Star Apprentice, and now he’s already at the peak of the Upper Three-level Burning Sun?

”Ahem...” Wang Haiping quickly came to his senses, hurriedly grabbing a napkin. ”Got a bit choked up, junior brother, sorry~”

Wang Haiping wiped his mouth and the table with the napkin, but from his still-trembling pupils and the constantly fidgeting hands clutching the napkin, it was clear his shock was far from settling.

Burning Sun Level... the significance is enormous!

In any case, Wang Haiping never expected that Su Yuan would breakthrough to Burning Sun at this time!

”Well, should I ask Jeff to make a few more portions?” Wang Haiping said.

Xiao Yu snapped out of it, standing up, ”Director, I... I’ll go.”

”No need, we’ve almost finished eating anyway.” Su Yuan interrupted the two, saying to Wang Haiping, ”Senior brother, the teacher is with me, do you want to pay your respects?”

Wang Haiping asked with confusion, ”With you?”

Su Yuan nodded, then waved his hand, and with a glint of silver light, everyone at the table was pulled in...

After a long while, as night fell, the four walked out of the Western restaurant.

Wang Haiping still appeared somewhat dazed, asking Su Yuan, ”Junior brother, are you sure you don’t want a ride? At worst, I can have Xiao Yu take you home, and I’ll grab a cab?”

”No need, senior brother. It’s close, I’ll walk back.”

”Alright then, I won’t insist. See you later.”

”See you later.”

Watching as Wang Haiping’s car departed, Su Yuan turned around and called out to Ashley, ”Let’s go.”

”Okay.” Ashley followed behind Su Yuan.

Just now, Su Yuan had taken Wang Haiping to the Qingming Realm to meet Yang Yifeng.

The newly rejuvenated Qingming Realm had left a profound impression on Wang Haiping.

Everything from the endless Qingming Realm to the Holy Ancient Tree and the Jade Lotus Enlightenment Platform had greatly astonished both Wang Haiping and Xiao Yu.

And as Yang Yifeng happened to be awake, seeing his teacher in a condition better than expected made Wang Haiping quite happy.

After chiding Wang Haiping a bit reproachfully, Yang Yifeng patiently provided him with detailed guidance on cultivation issues.

Then, Yang Yifeng also let Xiao Yu experience the Jade Lotus Platform, which took up quite a bit more time.

Su Yuan walked with Ashley back home, and the day was essentially over.

”Little Yuan, are you sleeping in the study?” That night, Tang Shiyang asked.

Su Yuan replied, ”I’ll sleep in the room.”

”Hmm? So where is Little Ai sleeping... oh~~~” Tang Shiyang’s face suddenly showed a subtle smile.

Su Yuan immediately realized her misunderstanding, ”Mom, I’m a Space Star Card Master; I can create space.”

Tang Shiyang simply laughed, ”You’re both adults now, manage yourselves wisely. It’s up to you~”

Su Yuan shook his head, turned around, and saw Ashley sitting by the bed looking this way.

The whole room had been tidied up by Ashley, clean and organized, with a faint scent of jasmine.

Su Yuan asked, ”Ashley, have you been sleeping in my room before?”

”Yes, Auntie said there weren’t any more beds in the house.”

”I could have gotten a big flat in the city center long ago, but I mentioned it several times, and they just won’t move because they’re sentimental.”

Su Yuan shook his head with a sigh, then looked at Ashley.

”If you have nothing to do, just go back to the Qingming Realm.”

”Alright.” Ashley didn’t say much, agreed with a nod, and after helping Su Yuan make the bed, she returned to the Qingming Realm.

It’s not that Su Yuan was rushing her away; Ashley herself said she wanted to focus on cultivation and achieve a breakthrough to the Full Moon soon.

Su Yuan then took a moment to savor his own bed again; otherwise, Su Yuan himself could sleep anywhere.

At night, Su Yuan lay on the bed, thinking about the Beast Tribulation.

After resting at home for a day today, he would have to check out the Grey Realm passage tomorrow.

Although he had just broken through, and they hadn’t assigned him a task, with the Grey Realm being in Guangchuan City, how could Su Yuan be at ease?

Suddenly, there was a ”click,” and Su Yuan heard the door to the room next door open, followed by a series of stealthy footsteps approaching from the master bedroom.

Without the All-Knowing Vision, Su Yuan already knew what was going on and couldn’t help but find it amusing.

Originally not wanting to bother with them, the two stood at the doorway for over half an hour, their perseverance was astonishing.

Su Yuan worried they might catch a cold or strain their backs, so he got up from bed.

”Brother Yang, why hasn’t there been any noise for so long...” Tang Shiyang whispered quietly.

Su Yang tugged at her, softly advising, ”Forget it, stop listening. Darling, let’s go back...”

”Wait, just a little longer, a little while longer...”

”Click!”

The door suddenly opened, and Tang Shiyang and Su Yang both jumped in surprise.

”Little Yuan, why don’t you make any sound when you walk!”

Su Yuan naturally intended to scare them a little; otherwise, this couple wouldn’t stop.

”Dad, Mom, what are you two up to?”

Tang Shiyang stammered, ”We... we were going to the bathroom.”

Su Yuan said with a half-smile, ”Going to the bathroom together?”

”Well...” Tang Shiyang stammered, glancing past Su Yuan towards the all-viewable bedroom, ”Hey, where’s Little Ai?”

”She’s not in this space for the time being. I said, your son is a Space Star Card Master, she has another place to rest.”

”Really...”

Su Yuan waved his hand, ”Alright, alright, you two go to sleep now~”

Su Yuan sent the two away and went back to bed.

But Su Yuan could still faintly hear Su Father and Su Mother talking in the next room.

”Bing Tong is good, and Little Ai is good, I like them both...”

”Wife, Little Ai said she’s just working under our son! Okay, wife, stop obsessing. Whether you like them doesn’t matter; it’s mainly about which one our son likes. We shouldn’t meddle in young people’s matters!”

”...Su Yang, can you be a bit more aggressive?”

”I... Alright, alright, wife, just go to sleep~”

...

Su Yuan shook his head, blocking out their voices. He stopped thinking about it and lay back on the bed to sleep.

Whether it was because it was his own bedroom or the lingering faint fragrance in the room, he fell fast asleep shortly after...

On the second day, Su Yuan slept until eight-thirty before waking up. He hadn’t slept so well in a long time and was very satisfied.

Seeing Su Yuan come out of the bedroom, Tang Shiyang, who was leaning by the window, immediately greeted, ”Little Yuan, look outside, are those people looking for you?”

Su Yuan walked over to the window and gazed out. Early in the morning, several green military trucks were already parked on the street in front of the Four Seasons Garden.

Noticing Su Yuan’s gaze, a lieutenant standing beside one of the trucks even saluted from a distance.

After a brief thought, Su Yuan said, ”Mom, I’m going out for a bit. If I’m not back, don’t worry about meals for me.”

”Eh...okay, be safe out there!”

”Got it~”

Su Yuan arrived at the neighborhood entrance, and the surrounding neighbors were already bustling with discussions.

Seeing Su Yuan approach, the lieutenant immediately saluted and opened the car door for Su Yuan, ”Imperial Envoy, please.”

Su Yuan looked inside the car; a man in military uniform was already seated, waiting for him.

The man had a tall and lean figure, appeared to be only in his early thirties, and seemed fairly young.

As Su Yuan glanced at the man’s shoulder, he saw he was a Major General.

General-level officers are all Burning Sun Experts. The age of a Burning Sun Level practitioner cannot be accurately deduced just by appearance.

Based on the aura emanating from him, Su Yuan estimated this man to be several decades old.

Of course, being not even a hundred years old is still considered quite young for a Burning Sun Level practitioner.

”Southern Military District Eighth Corps, Major General Wu Shaoyang, greetings to Imperial Envoy Su!” The Major General, sitting in the car, turned and saluted.

Su Yuan returned the salute with clasped hands, ”Sky Patrol Department Vermilion Bird Imperial Envoy, Su Yuan, greetings, Major General Wu.”

Major General Wu patted the seat beside him, ”Imperial Envoy, please come in.”

”Alright.”

Su Yuan got into the car, and the convoy of military trucks immediately started moving.

The direction was towards the suburbs, where the former Rainforest Secret Realm and now Grey Realm passage was located.

Wu Shaoyang said, ”Yesterday, the City Guard mentioned a master who intervened to resolve a crisis. Later investigations showed it was you, Imperial Envoy Su, so we invited you to visit the Grey Realm passage. I hope this isn’t presumptuous?”

In the organizational structure of the Great Flame, both the army and the City Guard Bureau belong to the Military Supervision Department, which is on par with the Four Imperial Offices of the Sky Patrol Department.

However, in a Star Card Master era where personal martial strength reigns supreme, the Sky Patrol Department, which gathers top experts, is naturally the highest authority.

Therefore, in terms of rank, a Sky Patrol Department Envoy is even half a level higher than a military officer of the same rank.

Su Yuan said, ”No problem, even if Major General Wu hadn’t come, I was going to visit the Grey Realm anyway.”
