Chapter 38: Chapter 32: Good Fortune Brings Great Spirits

”What, it’s being demolished?”

Su Yue had just returned home, only to be hit by a demolition contract lying on the table.

This house was only bought a few days ago, how is it getting demolished already?

He opened the compensation document.

It turned out Cengyan City urgently decided to build a new highway. They had just surveyed yesterday, and it happened to occupy the land of this factory.

Demolition was inevitable.

Due to the house purchase qualification certificate, in this era of demolition, there was no monetary compensation. Instead, they compensated with a commercial house equivalent to the original area.

This factory was about 260 square meters.

The compensated area was in the Cosmic Mansion District, which, although not the most high-end residential area in Cengyan City, was still one of the top properties located right in the city center.

Su Yue checked, and the price in the Cosmic Mansion District was 22,000 per square meter.

Converted, it was nearly 6 million.

Cosmic Mansion was a well-furnished area, but the government also compensated with 500,000 for furniture and appliances, and waived 20 years of property fees.

Su Jianjun was in elementary school, and the Cosmic Mansion also had a good school district.

What luck.

The house was bought for 900,000.

And it flipped to over 5 million, indeed demolition is the fastest way to wealth.

Knock, knock, knock!

”Oh, landlord uncle, you’ve come.”

Su Jianjun opened the door, and it was the landlord.

Su Yue held the compensation document, feeling somewhat awkward.

They just bought someone’s house, and it immediately underwent demolition, really a bit embarrassing.

”Su Yue is also here. You received the demolition compensation, right?

”Haha, I’m really happy for you, such good luck.”

The landlord was smiling happily.

”Um, I’m really sorry, I didn’t expect the demolition.”

Su Yue scratched his head, Su Jianzhou also smiled a bit unnaturally.

”Haha, this house was with me for over 40 years, and there was no demolition. It’s your luck.

”Liang Youxin didn’t expect the house to be demolished, otherwise, he wouldn’t have lowered the price to 500,000. Your family is lucky; no one expected a highway here, truly good luck.”

The landlord patted Su Jianjun on the head, sincerely happy for them.

Though the warehouse was big, it was somewhat far from downtown, and the school district wasn’t very good.

”By the way, I’m here today to thank Su Yue and apologize on behalf of Old Liang.

”After the house is demolished, the project for this highway has been contracted to me by the Admiral’s Mansion, reviving my business.

”Those gifts at the door are from Liang Youxin, asking me to bring them as an apology to little Jianjun, he doesn’t dare to come.”

The landlord smiled brightly.

Being able to contract a government highway comes with good profits, and more importantly, it paves the way for deeper cooperation with the government in the future.

This time, thanks to Su Yue.

After the storm has passed, the spring breeze is still bright.

”Haha, congratulations to the landlord on thriving business.”

Su Yue and others quickly congratulated him.

”This project is urgent, so please pack your things soon and get ready to move. But you don’t have much there; with such a big mansion, you might as well furnish it anew.”

The landlord took his leave, and Su Jianjun sat excitedly, unable to stay still.

Finally, they would have a high-rise apartment to live in.

Su Yue sighed in relief.

Today indeed came with two pieces of good news.

He had just retrieved the detector, and after days of hard training, his Qi Blood value finally broke through to 16 cards.

Just one card away from the ”A” class Wuda admission line.

It was a good day.

...

In the afternoon, Su Yue went back to school.

According to classmates, Gong Ling had also taken leave recently, presumably to further increase her Qi Blood value.

For the liberal arts students, there was no need to take leave; they still had to review for next year’s liberal arts entrance exam.

Su Yue also visited the library to see if Ding Beitu was there.

When he arrived, he found Teacher Ding looking unusually rosy.

It seems these few days in the library have put Teacher Ding in a good state. He was reading, and since the library should stay quiet, Su Yue didn’t disturb him, and just turned to leave.

He still needed to make the most of his time to practice the Dead Step.

Before leaving, he asked classmates for some information.

Zhou Yuncan from class 1 was currently at 14 cards, still striving for 15 cards.

It was said that someone in First High had already reached 16 cards of Qi Blood.

Su Yue sighed.

Indeed, there are always fiercer people around.

Even with 16 cards of Qi Blood, it was hard for Teacher Ding to be first.

But no matter, getting into the top ten was already good enough.

Exam the day after tomorrow.

Su Yue continued to train in the Desolate Mountain. The Dead Step requires high jumps, and it was difficult to practice in the city.

Once the specific method of Qi Blood circulation was mastered, further training became less daunting.

It’s always hardest at the start.

Unknowingly, Su Yue could already jump close to 9 meters high.

This progress invigorated him.

Perhaps fortune favors those in high spirits, and Su Yue felt today’s training went remarkably well.

...

”Where did Hongyuan City’s wicked culprits go? How come they vanished overnight?

”I was counting on killing a few more to earn some money for semi-permanent eyebrows, strange, where did they all go?”

Xu Baiyan was somewhat frustrated.

”I wonder if my silly brother has been training the Dead Step, probably can’t even jump up 4 meters.

”Alas, maybe in a few more years, he might succeed. I’ll teach him after he reaches the third grade; being an elder sister is really tough.

”Let’s go eat Haidilao.”

Xu Baiyan’s stomach suddenly growled with hunger.

”Something’s not right; if this group of wicked people is not active in Hongyuan City, could they have gone to Cengyan City?

”Several cities in Renqing Province are experiencing high school student disappearances, could Su Yue be in danger?

”There should be no danger; if he avoids roaming the desolate mountains, the Yangxiang Sect wouldn’t dare abduct people in the city.”

Xu Baiyan paused for a moment, then dismissed her concern.

Besides, Su Yue is too weak. The high school students these wicked people are kidnapping have around 10 cards of Qi Blood.

It’s strange, though, that over a hundred have gone missing this time, all of them high school sophomores.

...

Cengyan City, Desolate Mountain.

Ding!

Su Yue opened his phone to find an urgent news alert:

According to reports, wicked members of the Yangxiang Race may recently have appeared in Cengyan City. Their target is high school students, and the Investigation and Arrest Bureau urgently advises that high school students should not venture into the rural wilderness alone.

”Ha, you could choke to death even while eating. If you believe such news, you might as well never eat in your lifetime.

”Making a fuss over nothing!”

Su Yue shut off his phone, not taking it seriously at all.

”Fellow student, you should actually trust the news. This way, at least, you can avoid some dangers.”

Suddenly, a light laugh came from behind Su Yue.

His heart skipped a beat, and he whipped around.

Was this a film crew?

There were directors wearing vests, cameramen carrying gear, and quite a few crew members, as well as a young man and woman who looked like the lead roles.

Their filming equipment was basic, but it was complete in its essentials.

”In such a desolate wilderness, with only two lead actors and no supporting roles, could they be filming an outdoor romance action film?”

Su Yue frowned, as the poor-quality camera couldn’t shoot any high-definition footage.

Unfortunately, he guessed wrong.

This wasn’t a film crew at all. The news was true.

The Yangxiang Race had arrived.

Pretending to be a film crew, they had brazenly infiltrated, preparing to capture people in Cengyan City.

Su Yue was terribly unlucky.

Run!

Run immediately.

Su Yue wasn’t foolish; these people smiled too oddly.

But surrounded by several martial artists of the third rank or higher, there was no escape.

”Damn, I’m a hostage now.”

Before he could move, Su Yue was struck at the back of his head, instantly knocked out.

Before losing consciousness, he remembered the female lead smiling, her face resembling a snake spirit’s with heavy makeup, pretending to be youthful.
