Martial Arts: I Have Diligence Reward System

Chapter 458: Chapter 185: Let Me Make Everyone Even Happier_2

”Su Yue, how have you been lately?”

Su Jianzhou asked.

”Mm, pretty good.

”I saw dad on the second battlefield; he should be on the fourth battlefield now.”

Su Yue thought for a moment and decided to share some edited details about the second battlefield with Su Jianzhou. As for Jiao Qingyuan, since it was a Military Department secret, Su Yue didn’t mention it.

Hearing about his dad, Su Jianzhou was visibly stunned.

”I could guess that the prison wouldn’t be able to hold him.

”The people at Cangyuan Sixth Camp, have they been treating you well? They haven’t bullied you, right?”

Su Jianzhou asked again.

”Mm, they’ve all been good. Uncle, do you know the people from Cangyuan Sixth Camp?”

Su Yue asked curiously.

”I used to be one of them. Unfortunately, I got seriously injured not long after I joined, so I’m not very familiar with Wang Anhu and the others. But they would occasionally visit your dad, and we would chat.”

Su Jianzhou smiled.

”I see.”

Su Yue nodded.

He didn’t ask more, fearing that too many questions would only tear open another wound for Su Jianzhou.

”By the way, have you met a person named Jiao Qingyuan?

”He’s been holding down the source mine alone, and it’s tough. If you have time, you should go see him. Though he’s somewhat reclusive, you should be fine getting through to him.”

”Forget it, I’m probably overstepping. The Cangyuan Sixth Camp will definitely take you to meet Jiao Qingyuan.”

Su Jianzhou reminded with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Su Yue’s heart skipped a beat.

As expected.

What’s feared is bound to happen.

Even though the Military Department hasn’t made it public, Su Yue didn’t know whether to hide the truth about Jiao Qingyuan from Su Jianzhou.

”Uncle, I’ve met him, and I even got dad’s old skull knife.”

Su Yue thought for a moment and said.

”The skull knife, so that’s it. That skull knife was something your dad passed on to Jiao Qingyuan, and I didn’t expect it to end up in your hands again.”

”Actually, because of your dad, I’ve had some occasional text contact with Jiao Qingyuan, but he hasn’t replied for the past few months.

”Just yesterday, Jiao Qingyuan’s Martial Arts Network account was suddenly deactivated, and I thought he had retired.

”This is a bit strange; I wanted to catch up with him.”

Su Jianzhou continued.

”Maybe... he likes peace and quiet.

”Jiao Qingyuan has indeed retired, and Wang Anhu has advanced to Grandmaster, taking Jiao Qingyuan’s place.”

Su Yue thought for a moment and decided to keep it from Su Jianzhou.

Leave it as a beautiful memory.

”I see, that makes sense, it’s consistent with his usual character.

”Since he deleted his Martial Arts Network account, maybe he just doesn’t want to be disturbed in his retirement.”

Su Jianzhou chuckled, feeling happy for Jiao Qingyuan.

”Mm,”

Su Yue nodded.

After lying, he felt quite uncomfortable inside.

But looking at the situation of the people in Cangyuan Sixth Camp, Su Yue felt that concealing it was not necessarily a bad thing.

After all, Jiao Qingyuan was an exceptionally unique person.

Then, Su Jianzhou gave Su Yue some more advice, particularly reminding him to be safe.

”Uncle, I heard before that some wealthy families’ children start taking mild spirit medicine from a young age, with the goal of speeding up Qi Blood cultivation during high school. Do you know what these spirit medicines are called?”

Su Yue suddenly asked.

With time in mind, Su Jianjun was about to enter junior high and soon high school, where Qi Blood cultivation would begin.

Although starting Qi Blood cultivation too early could damage the basics, using mild medicines from a young age was a subtle nurture.

Look at Du Jing’s Book.

Although his character wasn’t great, his cultivation speed was fast, which made Su Yue envious at times.

Now that he had the means, he wanted to prepare Su Jianjun ahead of time.

But he had scoured the Martial Arts Network and found no relevant information.

It might be that the Divine Land Government didn’t want regular citizens engaging in premature cultivation, so related posts were blocked.

”This... I’m not sure either. You don’t need to worry too much about Su Jianjun.

”Back then, your dad didn’t use that method to nurture you. It’s not necessarily a good thing, and the cost is reportedly terrifying. It’s said that once you start taking those medicines, you can’t stop, and there are certainly side effects.”

Su Jianzhou laughed.

He knew Su Yue was concerned about Su Jianjun, but in martial arts, everyone has their own fate, and it’s not something to force.

”Mm, I understand.”

Su Yue nodded.

He’d take the opportunity when it came—if it really would damage Su Jianjun’s basics, it might be better not to use it.

They exchanged a few more pleasantries, then hung up the phone.

...

There was still time before the student council meeting, so Su Yue wandered aimlessly on the street.

He decided to visit the nursing home in the morning.

On one street, Su Yue bought breakfast from all the shops, ensuring the elderly wouldn’t have anything to say.

The nursing home was just as it always was.

Su Yue cursed himself for being sentimental, as he’d only been away for about 20 days, yet it felt like years.

But he had to admit, every time he returned from the Wetlands, it felt like a whole new world.

Early in the morning, two elders were playing Gomoku.

Big Girl and Second Girl were practicing square dance moves in the yard.

Da She Wan had dyed his hair yellow and seemed to be muttering about Turtle Energy Waves.

The scene was still one of tranquility.

”Hello, grandpas and grandmas, I’ve brought you breakfast.”

Su Yue kicked open the nursing home’s door and barged in boldly.

It must be said, he strangely felt a sense of home, which was quite odd.

Hush!

However.

This time, the atmosphere was eerily strange.

Crash.

The moment Su Yue crossed the threshold, the door slammed shut, and the air shock made him stagger.
