Fortunately, Su Xiaoxiao did not cause any more trouble. She obediently curled up in Su Chengyu's arms and slept soundly, like a docile but insecure kitten. Even when she was asleep, she still grabbed his clothes tightly.
He patted her head and revealed a doting smile.
Su Chengyu naturally understood Su Xiaoxiao's thoughts and feelings. This girl had given up on a top university and stayed in Lin Jiang to study. She could not bear to be separated from him.
However, to him, he had always treated Su Xiaoxiao as his biological sister who he had raised single-handedly. He did not have any improper thoughts.
Su Xiaoxiao slept until noon before waking up. Then, Su Chengyu brought her out for lunch.
She asked, "Brother, what do you plan to do next?"
"Take back the inheritance that belongs to us siblings," Su Chengyu said cleanly.
"But that's too difficult! The Chen and Jiang families have grown up. They're rich and powerful. Without Grandpa around, how can we win?" Su Xiaoxiao said indignantly.
"Don't you have confidence in your brother? It won't be long before I make them obediently spit out their inheritance."
"Of course I'm confident. I believe in Brother. But right now, you can't always stay in a hotel. Why don't we buy a suite?"
Su Xiaoxiao wanted a small family that belonged to her and Su Chengyu.
"I don't have the money to buy a house now."
Su Chengyu's current goal was to obtain strength and increase his cultivation realm.
"I have money," Su Xiaoxiao said seriously.
"Where did you get the money? Did Grandpa secretly leave it for you?" Su Chengyu asked in surprise.
"No, I earned it myself."
Su Xiaoxiao took out a bank card from her clothes and placed it in front of Su Chengyu.
"You're in your second year. How can you earn money?" Su Chengyu asked curiously.
"I earned it from singing. I have more than a million fans on the platform. There's more than a million in this card. Once I've saved the downpayment for the house, I'll pay the mortgage. Brother, you've raised me for more than ten years. I'll take care of you in the future. I'll give you all the money I earn."
Su Chengyu knew that Su Xiaoxiao had been able to sing and dance since she was young and was born with a good voice. He did not expect that she would be able to earn so much money by herself when she was only a sophomore. He felt very gratified.
"I'll settle the matter of the house. Keep your money well." Su Chengyu smiled.
"Brother, I'm in school. It doesn't cost much. Take care of it for me first."
Su Chengyu insisted on not accepting Su Xiaoxiao's bank card, so she could only give up. However, she secretly decided to buy a house as soon as possible and buy a home that belonged to them.
After dinner, Su Chengyu sent Su Xiaoxiao back to Lin Jiang University and discovered that the spiritual qi of heaven and earth near the university was quite abundant. It was a suitable place to cultivate.
He walked to a large banyan tree by the lake.
This banyan tree branch was lush and huge. It had a hundred years of history and the spiritual qi here was the most abundant.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Su Chengyu leaped up like a cat and climbed up in a few moves. He found a hidden tree trunk on the tree and sat cross-legged before immediately circulating the Supreme Dao Scripture.
Colorful spiritual qi of heaven and earth swarmed over and entered his limbs and bones through the pores on Su Chengyu's body. It washed over his body like a huge wave washing away sand, and in the end, it was like drops of rain gathering into a stream. The streams gathered into a river and finally returned to his dantian.
The speed at which Su Chengyu absorbed the spiritual qi of heaven and earth was something that those so-called geniuses could only look up to and call terrifying!
The ball of qi in his dantian also enlarged bit by bit as he cultivated. Soon, it was already close to the size of a lychee. Su Chengyu's divine sense spread out and sensed a caterpillar on the leaf. The ants in the grass crawled, the fish in the water swam, and even every scale on the fish could be clearly sensed by Su Chengyu.
The divine sense was equivalent to giving Su Chengyu an absolute vision in a certain range.
His divine sense spread out further and entered the lake. He discovered that there was a spring at the bottom of the lake that was filled with spiritual qi. The root of this large banyan tree was stabbed into the spring water and absorbed the spiritual qi of heaven and earth. It was no wonder it grew so lush.
"Hu…"
Su Chengyu opened his eyes. There was a bright moon hanging in the sky. He had entered the second level of the Qi Refinement realm and felt the pain in his stomach again. He hurriedly jumped down from the tree to find the toilet to relieve himself before taking a taxi back to the hotel.
At this moment, in the alley beside the Lia Hotel, Su Xiaoxiao was in trouble. Jiang Yuyan's younger brother, Jiang Mingjie, led a group of people and blocked Su Xiaoxiao's path back to the hotel.
"Su Xiaoxiao, you're quite bold. How dare you splash swill on my sister!"
As Jiang Mingjie spoke, he raised his leg and kicked Su Xiaoxiao in the stomach. She fell to the ground and held her stomach with an uncomfortable expression.
"She deserved it. She bullied my brother." Su Xiaoxiao stood up without any fear.
"How dare you be stubborn? Watch how I deal with you!"
Jiang Mingjie grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's hair and pulled her up from the ground. Su Xiaoxiao felt as if her scalp was about to be torn off by Jiang Mingjie.
He slapped her twice, causing blood to flow from the corner of her mouth.
"Brother Jie, well done!"
"I've long disliked her. I have to teach her a lesson today!"
Jiang Mingjie's girlfriend, Xu Li, was from the same faculty as Su Xiaoxiao, but she was inferior to her in all aspects. She was very indignant.
As soon as Su Xiaoxiao stood up, Xu Li also raised her hand and slapped her face. She shouted, "Don't you sing well? Don't you have millions of fans? You're very impressive! Let's see who can save you today."
Su Xiaoxiao was not going to let her continue. After being slapped, she wanted to retaliate, but Xu Li dodged.
"How dare you retaliate? You're asking for a beating!"
Xu Li kicked Su Xiaoxiao to the ground. Following Jiang Mingjie's example, she grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's ponytail and pulled her up. The few of them pushed her around and bullied her until she fell to the ground in a sorry state.
Jiang Mingjie said, "Su Xiaoxiao, kowtow and admit your mistake now. Then, tell me where that trash Su Chengyu is hiding and I'll let you go."
"I splashed the swill. It has nothing to do with my brother. If you want to take revenge, come at me. I'm not afraid of you."
Su Xiaoxiao's face burned, and her stomach hurt so much that she could barely stand straight. However, she did not admit defeat.
Since Su Xiaoxiao dared to slander Jiang Yuyan, she knew that she would be taken revenge. She would rather suffer a loss herself to avenge her brother!
"Alright! Let's see how long you can be stubborn. Xu Li, cut her hair!"
Xu Li took out a pair of scissors and let the other two women press Su Xiaoxiao to the ground, unable to move. Xu Li held the scissors and said proudly, "I'll cut your hair first and then cut your face. Let's see if your fans will still like you!"
"Xu Li, take off her clothes later and take some videos to post online. Everyone will like her very much." Another woman smiled evilly.
"Good idea, let's do that!" Xu Li said.
