Chapter 166: Excitement

After hearing Sun Siyu's reluctant vows, Li Nianlong smiled slightly, "Good, we can continue talking."

"Hmph!" Sun Siyu's face was not looking good, "If you don't give me a good explanation, don't blame me for turning hostile."

"I'm not that bored," Li Nianlong said calmly, "because I am also a psychic."

"What!?"

A scream burst out, and the constipated woman who had been holding it in was about to relieve herself but was scared stiff by the scream. This time she was completely blocked.

"Damn it!" The constipated woman, pulling up her pants, was about to rush out. "Who?! Come out! I'm going to kill you!"

Sun Siyu was startled, hearing the commotion, she quickly ran out of the bathroom and hid in the men's restroom...

The men who were relieving themselves saw a woman running into the restroom and were so scared they almost urinated on their shoes. They quickly turned around to protect their privates, lamenting in their hearts: Are girls nowadays so bold? How are hooligans supposed to survive?

Although Sun Siyu had the personality of a domineering rich girl, she was still a woman. Seeing these men exposing themselves, she blushed but forced herself to look composed: "If you need to pee, hurry up. A bunch of grown men acting all shy, even less bold than a woman."

What a fierce young lady.

These men, mostly middle-aged around thirty to forty, were embarrassed being scorned by a girl in her twenties. However, most men of this age have some status and a stable job, and they wouldn't dare to be rough with a young girl for fear of scandals affecting their future. For their future, they held back.

Hmph! Being seen by a woman isn't a loss, let her look!

Seeing these men didn't dare to mess around, Sun Siyu breathed a sigh of relief, took out her phone: "Hey, where were we?"

"..." Li Nianlong was speechless, "Where did you run off to?"

"The men's restroom! So what?"

"You... fine! As I was saying, I am also a psychic." Before Sun Siyu could speak, Li Nianlong continued, "Listen, I am different from you. My abilities are already developed, but you are still in a semi-developed state. So you need a teacher, and I have found one for you. If you want to develop your abilities, we can continue talking. If not, let's stop here."

"Isn't that obvious!" Sun Siyu was already convinced, excitedly said, "Of course I want to develop! If you can help me develop, I won't mistreat you!"

Hearing the word 'develop', the middle-aged men gave Sun Siyu strange looks.

Hmm, legs are tight together, eyebrows not spread, a strong fragrance, indeed a virgin.

Who's so lucky to 'develop' a virgin? These middle-aged men felt all sorts of envy and hatred. This pretty girl, if they could 'develop' her, they'd be willing to live twenty years less!

Maybe feeling their malicious intent, Sun Siyu frowned and glared fiercely at the middle-aged men. They guiltily turned their heads.

Sun Siyu snorted coldly, and when she sensed the woman outside had left, she walked out of the men's restroom and returned to the women's restroom: "Hey, brother, I'm back in the women's restroom. When will you take me to see the master?"

"..." Li Nianlong sighed, "This teacher lives in Longcheng. She is old and doesn't want to travel around, so if you want to develop your abilities and learn how to control them systematically, you need to separate from your family for a while and go to Longcheng for training. This could be a few months or three to five years. It's up to you."

"That long?" Sun Siyu looked troubled, and quietly asked, "Brother, is the teacher a man or a woman?"

"Does it matter?"

"Of course it does. If he's a man and a psychic, what if he bullies me?"

"..." Li Nianlong didn't know what to think of her brain. He helplessly said, "Don't worry, it's an old lady, very kind."

"An old lady! That's good." Sun Siyu breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll go back and discuss it with my family..."

"No!" Li Nianlong said, "Didn't I tell you? Psychics are rare nowadays, and people are hostile towards them. If the news about you being a psychic spreads, it will be dangerous for you, your teacher, and me."

"Is it that serious?" Sun Siyu was skeptical.

"If people weren't hostile, psychics would have gone public long ago. We wouldn't be like legends," Li Nianlong said sternly. "There's no room for discussion. If it wasn't for the fact that you are Yu Yu's cousin, I wouldn't tell you this. If you don't want to put us at risk, don't tell anyone. If you do..." His tone suddenly became cold, "No matter where you are, all psychics will unite to hunt you down."

These words were like a cold wind, piercingly painful.

Sun Siyu hurriedly promised, "Brother, don't worry, I won't tell anyone! I'll just say I want to go to Longcheng to relax, nothing more."

"Good." Li Nianlong's tone softened, "Since you've decided, when will you go to Longcheng?"

"Well..." Sun Siyu thought for a moment, "I want to watch the Martial Arts Tournament first. Can I go after it's over?"

Li Nianlong nodded slightly, "Alright, we'll settle it for now. Send me your phone number, and I'll have her contact you."

"Okay, okay. Thank you, brother. If I succeed, I'll repay you for your kindness." Sun Siyu said excitedly.

Li Nianlong smiled faintly, "No need to talk about repayment. We're all psychics, and psychics are almost extinct nowadays. I'm happy to find a fellow psychic. We need to help each other to make our community stronger."

"Well said, brother." Sun Siyu was a bit excited, "When I succeed, I'll help us psychics to make a name for ourselves!"

Li Nianlong chuckled, "Making a name is too serious. Just being able to live well and be together is enough."

"Hehe, brother, you have such small ambitions, not matching your status and strength," Sun Siyu laughed.

"Ambition is good, but it depends on where it's used," Li Nianlong smiled slightly, "That's it for now. Remember to send me your number."

"Okay, brother. Goodbye, I'll wait for your call."

After hanging up, Sun Siyu excitedly saved Li Nianlong's number from Xiang Youyou's phone to her own and sent her number to him before returning to Xiang Youyou's side, "Sister Youyou, here's your phone."

"What did you talk about with my brother?" Xiang Youyou asked curiously as she took her phone.

"That's... um!" Sun Siyu quickly covered her mouth, "It's a secret, I can't tell."

"A secret?" Xiang Youyou laughed, "What secret can't you even tell me?"

"Just can't say, not even to my dad," Sun Siyu said seriously.

Brother, don't worry, I will never reveal the secret of us psychics.

A glimmer of light flashed in Xiang Youyou's eyes, and she chuckled, "If you don't want to say, it's fine. It's not a big deal anyway."

"What!?" Sun Siyu was furious, "What do you mean not a big deal! This is a big deal, a life-and-death matter!"

"Oh, life-and-death?" Xiang Youyou pursued, "What big deal?"

"It's about psychic..." Sun Siyu suddenly realized, quickly covering her mouth, angrily, "Sister Youyou! You tricked me!?"

Xiang Youyou sighed inwardly, "Pity," then smiled, "I didn't trick you. You were about to say it."

"Hmph! Anyway, I won't say anything," Sun Siyu stuffed chicken nuggets into her mouth, quickly finished, and drank the last bit of Coke, "I'm full, let's go shopping."

Meanwhile, Li Nianlong informed Yuexi about Sun Siyu and gave her Sun Siyu's phone number, "That's it, let the master contact her."

"Okay." Yuexi wrote down Sun Siyu's number, "Big brother, can we trust Sun Siyu? Will she keep our secret?"

"Don't worry," Li Nianlong smiled, a hint of coldness in his voice, "Even if she tells, it's fine."

Sensing his killing intent, Yuexi giggled, "You're right. If she tells, we just need to kill a few more people."

Li Nianlong smiled faintly, "Don't talk about killing all the time. Focus on your studies. I'm waiting for you to get your doctorate!"

Yuexi giggled, "Don't worry, you'll see that day. I'll call the master, talk to you later."

"Okay."

That afternoon, Sun Siyu received a call from the Yuexi sisters' master, displayed as a street payphone.

"Who is it?" Seeing the unusual display, Sun Siyu answered with a bit of her usual attitude.

"Hehe..." A kind laugh came through, "Such a temper, little girl. If you can't calm down, it will be hard to develop your abilities."

Psychic!?

Sun Siyu immediately understood who it was, quickly changing her tone, "Master, I'm sorry, I was just bargaining. He asked for fifty, I offered ten, he wouldn't sell, and we argued."

"..." The old

 lady was speechless, then chuckled, "You are interesting. My disciple told me you want to develop abilities, right?"

"Yes, yes, master, you have to help me!" Sun Siyu was excited.

"Hehe," the old lady said calmly, "I can help you, but I need to know if you really want to develop. Once we start, there's no turning back."

"Yes, master, I swear!" Sun Siyu quickly promised, "If I don't succeed, I'll stay in Longcheng and never leave until I do."

"Good. Come to Longcheng after the Martial Arts Tournament. I'll send someone to pick you up." The old lady chuckled, "Little girl, see you in Longcheng."

"Yes, master, see you in Longcheng."

Hanging up, Sun Siyu was so excited she jumped up, shouting, "I'm a psychic, I'm a psychic!"

"Calm down." Xiang Youyou, hearing the commotion, had a feeling, "Did my brother agree?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Sun Siyu hugged Xiang Youyou, "Your brother said he found a teacher for me, and the master called just now. They agreed to train me."

"Congratulations," Xiang Youyou felt happy for her, "Then you must work hard in the future."

"Of course!" Sun Siyu proudly said, "When I succeed, I'll definitely repay your family for your kindness."

"We're sisters," Xiang Youyou laughed, "No need for such formalities."

"Yes, we are." Sun Siyu excitedly kissed Xiang Youyou's face, "Let's go shopping!"

### Chapter 167: The Second Task

In the evening, Xiang Youyou brought Sun Siyu to Liu's residence.

"Brother!" Sun Siyu ran over and affectionately hugged Li Nianlong's arm, "Master agreed to take me in. Soon, I'll be initiated."

"Really? Congratulations." Li Nianlong was a bit unused to Sun Siyu's sudden affection but still congratulated her. The team of psychics would grow stronger.

"Hehe, I'm so excited!" Sun Siyu was happier than anyone. Being an ordinary person for twenty years, suddenly being told she could become a powerful psychic, who wouldn't be thrilled?

Everyone was surprised by Sun Siyu's sudden change, especially Nalan Ruyue. Her big eyes kept blinking, unable to understand why Sun Siyu, who was hostile to Li Nianlong yesterday, suddenly became so friendly.

Xiang Youyou guessed it had to do with the phone call at noon but couldn't figure out what exactly was said. Upon hearing the word 'master', Xiang Youyou pondered: Did her brother find a martial arts teacher for Siyu or something else?

"Brother." Xiang Youyou walked over and asked directly, "What did you talk about? Why keep it from me?"

Faced with Xiang Youyou's question, Li Nianlong's eyes flashed a hint of apology, "Sorry, Youyou, this matter is too important to tell anyone, even Ruyue. Please let us keep this secret, okay?"

Xiang Youyou looked at him for a long while, then gently nodded and smiled, "It's okay. Everyone has secrets they can't share, even with close ones. I understand."

Li Nianlong breathed a sigh of relief, "Youyou, thank you for understanding."

"Just saying thanks isn't enough." Xiang Youyou licked her lips, "Brother must take action."

Seeing her craving look, Li Nianlong chuckled, "Alright, brother will cook." He added, "Hot dry noodles."

Xiang Youyou drooled.

"Are you staying here?" Hearing this news at dinner, Li Nianlong was surprised.

"Of course!" Sun Siyu nodded, "Master said she'll come to Tianfu for the New Year and meet me. She told me to stay in Tianfu as much as possible. My cousin has to work and has limited time to accompany me. I don't want to bother her. Besides, I'm so close to brother, I should stay here."

Sun Siyu suddenly wiped her mouth and smiled, "Besides, brother's cooking is so good, I can eat delicious food every day here."

"…"

Shao Meiyun squinted her eyes and smiled, "Then Siyu will stay here. Tianfu is our Liu family's territory, we have the responsibility to host the guests from the Sun family. Besides, our families are close, so it's natural for us to take care of you."

"Thank you, Sister Meiyun." Sun Siyu politely thanked her.

Shao Meiyun smiled, "Not at all. The Martial Arts Tournament is in less than two months. Siyu can stay here until it's over to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"No, I must go home before the New Year." Sun Siyu shook her head, "There's a direct flight from Tianfu to Lingnan, just an hour. It's very convenient."

Shao Meiyun nodded, "Alright. Family should be together for the New Year. Youyou, when will you leave?"

"I'll leave the same day as Siyu," Xiang Youyou said, "Although we don't go the same way, we can keep each other company at the airport."

"Alright." Shao Meiyun nodded, "Come to Liu's residence before you leave. I prepared some small gifts for your families. Take them with you."

"No need, it's too much trouble." ×2

"Hehe, it's courtesy, nothing to worry about." Shao Meiyun smiled, "It's settled then. Let's eat. Liu's residence hasn't been this lively for a while. Even if you leave, come visit often. The door is always open for you."

"Thank you, Sister Meiyun." ×2

Li Nianlong, eating his hot dry noodles, felt that Shao Meiyun had ulterior motives. This woman, though beautiful and smart, was politically savvy and full of schemes. Luckily, her schemes usually benefited him, so he didn't mind.

After dinner, arranging Sun Siyu's room, and seeing Xiang Youyou off, Li Nianlong asked, "Youyou, when does your school break?"

"About a week." Under the moonlight, Xiang Youyou's ordinary face had a soft glow, adding a dreamy beauty, "Next week is finals. PE teachers like me have it easy. Classes stop two days before exams, so I'll be free then."

Li Nianlong smiled, "You'll go home then?"

"Yes." Xiang Youyou nodded, a hint of longing in her eyes, "Haven't been home for almost four months."

"Yes." Li Nianlong smiled, "Greet your parents and grandpa for me. Tell your father that I, Li Nianlong, am determined to win the Martial Arts Tournament's leader title and end the Xiang family's century-long dominance."

Xiang Youyou paused, looked at Li Nianlong, "Brother, whether you're arrogant or not, I won't say. I'll relay your message as is. But I'm curious, when did you know my identity?"

"Yesterday." Li Nianlong smiled, "When you called Sun Qing uncle, I felt something was off. You said you were just a side branch girl, but could the Xiang family marry Sun Qing's sister?"

"I see." Xiang Youyou tapped her head, "I tried not to show flaws, but still made a basic mistake."

"The wise sometimes err. Using a false identity, you'll slip up eventually."

"You're right, brother." Xiang Youyou rubbed her face, "Do you know anything else?"

"If you tell me, I'll know." Li Nianlong smiled.

Looking at Li Nianlong's charming smile, Xiang Youyou smiled, "When the time is right, I'll tell you. But in return, I hope you'll tell me your secret with Siyu."

Li Nianlong patted her shoulder, "That day will come."

Late at night, Li Nianlong entered the training ground, "29?2."

The door appeared, and he stepped through. The scene changed. Li Nianlong found himself on a cargo ship, a wave of unfamiliar memories flooding his mind. Moments later, he understood the situation.

He and Zhao Linger were on a cargo ship to Suzhou.

From the memories, he learned that since grandma got news of the black Miao people's discovery of Xianling Island, she had been very uneasy. Now the island's formation was destroyed. With her strength, she could fend off weaker opponents but not those like the fat man, leaving the old and weak on the island vulnerable to attacks.

At this point, 'Li Nianlong' suggested taking Zhao Linger to Miao territory to find the queen. His reason was solid: "Hiding isn't a solution. The best way is to solve the problem at its source."

He assured his martial prowess, capable of protecting Zhao Linger. Grandma was persuaded but rejected her proposal to join them.

Her reason was solid: "If you leave, who will protect those on Xianling Island? You're old, stay on the island. When Linger and I find the queen, we'll return together."

Thus, Li Nianlong and Zhao Linger boarded the cargo ship to Suzhou.

Meanwhile, the task appeared: Defeat Lin Yueru at the martial arts tournament and take her along.

Li Nianlong felt one thing: this is a trap!

Standing at the bow, Li Nianlong smiled bitterly: The system even controls memories, like the main god in Infinite.

"Brother Long," Zhao Linger came out of the cabin, seeing Li Nianlong gazing at the distance, happily said, "This is my first time leaving Xianling Island. I'm so happy."

Watching Zhao Linger's joyful expression, Li Nianlong smiled

, "I promised to take you around. On this journey, we'll explore. But don't leave my side, understand?"

"Yes." Zhao Linger nodded, giggling, "Brother Long, I'm so happy."

Li Nianlong's eyes softened, "Me too."

Zhao Linger blushed and leaned against Li Nianlong. As the sun rose, they approached Suzhou pier.

After disembarking, they headed to Suzhou's gates, encountering the scene where Miss Lin beat servants and maids.

After a fight, Miss Lin was easily subdued by Li Nianlong. Despite her cursing, the servants and maids fled under her 'urging'.

"Bastards! Don't let me see you again, or I'll kill you!" Miss Lin kept cursing.

"Hey..." Li Nianlong looked at the immobilized Miss Lin, "Save your energy. We don't want trouble. We'll release you when they're gone."

"Who are you? What are you doing in Suzhou?" Though angry, Miss Lin was shocked by how easily Li Nianlong subdued her. A young man of his age having such high skills impressed even the talented Miss Lin, making her cautious.
