Summoners: One Golden Term per Level

Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Late Night Talk, From Even Earlier

After finishing the dungeon, Shen Fei naturally accepted the invitation to go along. As for worrying that they might make a move, what a joke! Not to mention that he is now someone Governor Han values.

He himself is a Chiliarch of the Breaking Abyss Army. If he hadn’t yet officially started a position, he’d be an officer with real power.

Like Fang Yuan and Su Muyu, they are not inferior to others in terms of status.

”Patriarch Wu, Principal Jiang. No need to be so formal.”

After arriving at the restaurant.

Shen Fei smiled. He had enjoyed slapping faces enough; naturally, he wouldn’t need to be arrogant and domineering in this setting of peace talks. Jiang Lan glanced at Fang Yuan, then smiled wryly, ”This time it’s indeed our Shimen First High School’s fault. It’s right for you to teach us a lesson; Shimen First High School definitely needs to tighten up on education.”

”If there’s a rat dropping in the soup, it just means the chef didn’t maintain hygiene and let a rat in, not that the chef’s cooking skills are poor. Principal Jiang, wouldn’t you agree?”

Shen Fei subtly hinted; he had actually already sorted this out on the train.

Although his Summoned Beast had appeared during the exchange match, to know he had at least three Summoned Beasts and have such a clear position could only have been known by those from the Snowfield Dungeon.

The true grudge was only with Whu Xiang.

Especially considering the way he came to Tang City, it’s all the more dubious.

He naturally placed his suspicion on the Wu Family. As for the gifts the Wu Family sent...

Who believes the actions of these old foxes!

Especially after he returned and looked into the Wu Family, it seemed they were still planning to expand their business into Shencheng City. It’s likely Whu Xiang approached Dusk Rain to open a path through her.

’Let’s see if there’s a chance to help the father-in-law’s business expand.’

Shen Fei glanced at Whu Mo, who pretended not to understand, and Jiang Lan smiled at Shen Fei’s words.

He was also experienced and naturally understood what Shen Fei meant.

But avoiding dealings with the Wu Family in Tang City was inevitable, not to mention the Wu Family controlled most of the healing items and equipment markets in Tang City, which are lifelines for professionals.

Otherwise, why would the principal of Shimen First High School tolerate so much from a student?

”Sit, sit.”

Jiang Lan laughed, inviting Shen Fei and the others to sit.

Whu Mo also didn’t say much, mainly echoing Jiang Lan.

Not long after, Jiang Lan finally stated the reason for this apology, which was to make some concessions so Shen Fei would not continue his challenge, and Shen Fei had no objection, having already benefited enough.

Through a few dungeons, Su Muyu had reached level 18, but Shen Fei had not even leveled up once, which was frustrating.

After Tier Two, defeating monsters below level 15 offered no visible experience gain unless they were of lord quality, which was absurd.

Still, he found that people in Tang City could bend and adapt.

They gave in within just one day.

Of course, there were many factors involved. Shen Fei also knew part of it was fear of the big backing he had, even though Governor Han hadn’t explicitly promised protection.

But Fang Yuan had told him about Governor Han’s intention to protect him during the exchange match.

Jiang Lan was also present then; Governor Han certainly played a significant role.

While eating, they discussed trade, and in the end, Shimen First High School’s factions were willing to offer a set of Tier Two Lord Sorcerer equipment, two Lord Summoned Beast skills, and one Lord Sorcerer skill.

In the end, everyone was happy.

However, Shen Fei had one extra condition: that Whu Xiang apologize to Shencheng First High School.

Whu Mo’s expression was unclear, but he quickly concealed it, smiling, ”Of course.”

...

At night.

Shen Fei and Su Muyu lay on the bed, shoulder to shoulder, Shen Fei holding Su Muyu, feeling the softness in his arms and the fragrance at his nose, yet he did not move inappropriately.

He was talking to Su Muyu about the speculation that suddenly arose today.

Su Muyu nodded, somewhat agreeing with Shen Fei’s words, ”The Wu Family indeed could be involved. Although we don’t interfere in our family’s business, I’ve heard my uncle say.

The Wu Family may appear to have cleaned up, but their previous methods were quite shady, so when the Wu Family approached Su Juncheng for cooperation before, he did not agree.”

Shen Fei pursed his lips, once again hearing how Su Muyu referred to her father by his full name.

But for her uncle, or other members of the Su Family, it seemed normal.

There was just a somewhat cold emotional surface, expect perhaps with Shen Fei.

In front of everyone else, Su Muyu seemed like an iceberg.

”I’ll see if I can ask Battalion Commander Liu to investigate, or Battalion Commander Wang here.” Shen Fei thought, if the Wu Family was truly connected to demons, it was necessary to eliminate them.

”Okay, I’ll also talk to the teacher.”

Su Muyu nodded, Shen Fei’s matters were her matters too, especially since Shen Fei agreed to come to Tang City to vent for her.

The two of them quietly embraced, and the idea that had come to him more than once before resurfaced in his mind.

The last time he wasn’t particularly outstanding; he had memories of his past life, understanding that if the gap was too large, even repeated attempts wouldn’t bring happiness.

Especially in this era of professionals, which compared to his previous world had more distinct social stratification, and where relationships and benefits were more direct. The strong tend to associate only with the strong.

So before the awakening ceremony, he never asked Su Muyu this question.

But now, he was qualified to stand alongside Su Muyu.

He couldn’t help but ask, ”Dusk Rain, have you ever thought about marrying me?”

He smelled the fragrance in Su Muyu’s hair, his tone carrying some uncertainty, though he believed in their relationship.

But in his eyes, Su Muyu was exceptional.

And he was just a hanger-on.

”Of course, who else would I marry? I already stamped my approval.

Would you be willing to marry me? Now that you are so outstanding, there’s no telling how many want to be your girlfriend or wife...”

Su Muyu looked up, her tone slightly concerned. Before, in her mind, Shen Fei was already excellent, whether in temper or handling people.

She knew Shen Fei was a very good boy. When Shen Fei awakened as a Summoner, she was secretly pleased, even though Shen Fei’s family situation wasn’t particularly great, with just some subsidies and allowances.

But to grow faster, more money was needed.

And she happened to have it, hehe.

Who would’ve expected Shen Fei to make such a name for himself, what happened during the exchange match amazed her.

In addition, today she saw Shen Fei’s resourcefulness in acquiring wealth, noticing his extremely high drop rate when hunting monsters. Hadn’t he fed a lot to the Vast Heaven Venerable?

Shen Fei could amass millions from the gear he’d looted.

”Of course, I’ll marry you.”

”Three years ago, when I first met you, I said I wanted to marry you, hmm.”

”Well, I liked you even earlier...” Su Muyu whispered, leaving Shen Fei slightly confused, ”Hmm? Earlier? Have you met me before?”

”Yes.”

Su Muyu replied with a smile, earlier.

So early, when I was very young.

When you stood in front of me, my childhood wish was to marry you, and it’s still true today.

”That can’t be. If I’d met you before, I should’ve recognized you.”

Shen Fei scratched his head.

”You’ll remember. By the way, do you think this year’s college entrance exam will be like?”

Su Muyu didn’t answer Shen Fei’s question but moved on to the next topic, starting a new conversation.

Shen Fei, hearing Su Muyu shift topics, didn’t continue to ask.

Since Su Muyu said he would know in the future, he naturally trusted her.

And began discussing the upcoming college entrance exam.

Even though getting into Imperial University was certain, the better his scores, the more resources he would gain when entering the university.
