Chapter 257: Chapter 209: Daily Life Chapter 257: Chapter 209: Daily Life The next day, Su Yang drove his small fruit delivery truck and took the whole family for a fishing trip to the suburban lake.
Upon arrival, Su Yang was the first to get ready, eagerly rubbing his hands together.
“I’m telling you, with my current skill level, I can catch two baskets of fish in this lake in one afternoon!”
Su Yuan smiled and said, “Impressive, Dad.
Your skills have improved.”
“Haha, I have more time now, so my skills have improved.
Of course, maybe my state of mind has also become much calmer.”
Life used to be tight, even the mindset was quite anxious.
Now that Su Yuan had become a Star Card Master, Su Yang and his wife were basically worry-free regarding food and clothing.
The two were content with their lives; they didn’t ask for much else, just hoped Su Yuan would be safe and sound.
“Yo, Brother Yang is here?”
“Hey, the whole family is here today!”
As they reached the lake, a few fellow anglers greeted Su Yang from afar.
Su Yang smiled and said, “Yes, it’s rare for my son to come back, so we decided to come fishing together.”
“So your son is already this old; you never mentioned him before.”
These fellow anglers were just casual acquaintances from fishing by the lake.
Su Yang wasn’t someone who liked to show off.
Naturally, he wouldn’t talk about his family situation to these people.
“He’s been studying away at college and only found time to come back today.”
“Not only did your son come back, but he also brought such a beautiful girlfriend?
Impressive!
I haven’t seen such a pretty girl in Guangchuan City before!”
“No, no, they’re just classmates,” Su Yang said as he took a closer look before turning and saying, “You’ve caught quite a lot already, nearly half a basket!”
“Not bad, we were lucky today.”
Su Yang said, “Alright, I won’t disturb you today.
ƝοѵǤ0.ᴄο
I’ll go over there.”
“Sure, go ahead.”
…
Su Yang prepared a fishing rod each for Su Yuan and Tang Shiyang, while Luo Bingtong sat on a small bench beside Su Yuan.
“Son, watch me catch two full baskets of fish today, enough for these few days!”
Tang Shiyang said, “Alright, don’t boast too much.
Don’t embarrass yourself in front of the kids if you don’t catch any.”
“Ha, impossible!
Just watch!” Su Yang said confidently as he operated two fishing rods by himself.
…
Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was almost five o’clock.
The baskets next to Su Yang’s group didn’t have a single fish in them.
Su Yang kept shaking his leg, “Strange…
there are usually a lot of fish here.
Why can’t I catch any today!”
He initially wanted to show off in front of his wife, son, and little girl Luo Bingtong, but in the end, he got nothing!
Su Yuan smiled nonchalantly and turned to look at Luo Bingtong, who was resting her chin on her hands and staring at the water.
He shook his head silently.
With Su Yuan’s eyesight, he could see the situation in the lake clearly.
At first, there were indeed a lot of fish nearby.
But after they arrived, most of the fish had already swum away, and far away too.
The reason could only be because of Luo Bingtong.
Although she had completely suppressed her own aura, the pressure of a top-level Star Beast still made the fish in the lake faintly sense it, and they subconsciously stayed away from this area.
Not to mention fishing in the afternoon; if this continued, it would be hard to catch anything even if they stayed until midnight.
But since he was with his family, it didn’t matter if they didn’t catch any fish.
“Brother Yang, you slipped today~” Tang Shiyang smiled, then looked at the time, “It’s getting late.
Let’s showcase your skills next time.”
“Just wait a little longer, a little longer…”
Su Yang gritted his teeth, staring intently at the water, determined to catch a few fish to prove himself!
Tang Shiyang quickly spoke up to stop him, “If we wait any longer, Bingtong will be hungry.
Let’s go now!”
Huh???
Luo Bingtong turned to look at Tang Shiyang, a bit puzzled.
Su Yuan shook his head with a smile.
Sure enough, the label of “big eater” on Luo Bingtong couldn’t be shaken off.
“Well…
alright, since we didn’t catch any fish, I’ll treat you all to a big meal at Yunxi Building today!”
Tang Shiyang smiled, “That sounds better!”
…
This time, with Su Yuan’s reminder, Luo Bingtong knew she didn’t need to eat that much.
But after witnessing her appetite, Su Yang and his wife were afraid she wouldn’t be full.
They not only ordered a lot but also continuously urged her to “eat your fill, we can order more if it’s not enough!”
In the end, the waiter who came to clean up was shocked to see nearly twenty exceptionally clean plates.
…
The next day, Su Yuan went to the Education Bureau to visit his fellow senior apprentice.
“It’s only been a year, and you’re already at Silver Middle Stage?” Wang Haiping looked at Su Yuan with a bit of surprise in his eyes.
“I’ve seen people break through to Silver Stage, but I’ve never seen someone reach Silver Middle Stage this quickly.”
Even during his four years in Demon Capital, Wang Haiping had rarely seen such rapid cultivation speed.
The further one progressed in cultivation, the more difficult it became.
From Silver Beginner Stage to Middle Stage might seem like a small step, but many people couldn’t cross it even in a year or more.
Su Yuan shook his head slightly.
If he had brought Luo Bingtong along, seeing someone who broke through to Silver High Stage in just a year, he really didn’t know what Wang Haiping would think.
Of course, “taming Mystic Ice at Silver Beginner Stage and leaping two stages” sounded too fantastical.
“Xiao Yu, go get my collection of yellow tea and brew a pot.”
Xiao Yu was Wang Haiping’s pretty secretary, standing by his side as always in a black suit and stockings, looking sexy and slender.
“Yes, Director.”
Xiao Yu responded, bowed to Su Yuan, and went to brew the tea.
“I couldn’t tell before, but now it seems she’s actually a Gold Level expert…” Su Yuan’s gaze moved away from Xiao Yu as she left, pondering silently.
A Gold Level expert could be a squad leader in the City Guard in Guangchuan City, like Xiao Yong.
Even within the Education Bureau, there were better positions available.
Yet, Xiao Yu was willing to stay under Wang Haiping as a secretary.
In the previous life, serving as a secretary to a big shot was quite an impressive credential, crucial for one’s career advancement.
But in the world of Blue Sea Star, where strength mattered, credentials didn’t mean much.
A secretary was just a regular secretary.
Su Yuan thought for a moment and asked, “Senior Brother, I’ve had a question for a long time, but it might be a bit presumptuous.”
Given their status as fellow apprentices discussing privately, there was no need for Su Yuan to keep addressing him as “Director Wang.”
Wang Haiping smiled and said, “Junior Brother Su, feel free to ask.”
“You are also our master’s student.
After so many years, you are still at Shining Star Level…”
Wang Haiping understood Su Yuan’s meaning and laughed.
“Although I’m also our master’s student, I’ve told you before, I’m the one who has made the least progress under our master.
Of course, I know you want to ask about Shining Star Level cultivation…
What I can tell you is, although I’m not as talented as you, my cultivation speed is definitely not slow!”
