The setting sun was like blood as it gradually descended to the west.
Pei Qian bid farewell to his classmates and returned to the luxury car. He sat next to his father, Pei Yousheng.
"Father, we've already sent all the students away.”Pei Qian lowered his eyes and said seriously.
" Hmm," Pei Yousheng replied softly. Then, he slowly opened his eyes. He looked ahead and said in a deep voice," Self-reflect. What did I not do well?"”
Pei Qian took a deep breath. Then, as if he had practiced it countless times, he said fluently," First, there are no security personnel accompanying you.”
" Secondly, when you saw the Tyrant Carp Dragon, you didn't choose to retreat decisively. You contacted the security personnel immediately.”
" Hmm, it seems like you've been reflecting." Pei Yousheng nodded slightly, his voice low.
" Father…" Pei Qian saw this and hesitated for a while. In the end, he could not help but ask," Father, why did you choose to give that thing away…"
Pei Yousheng glanced at him lightly. His dark eyes were deep as if he could see through Pei Qian's thoughts. He said," Do you think that thing is too valuable and does not match his actions?"”
"No, I just feel that…" Pei Qian shook his head when he heard this.
Pei Yousheng's voice suddenly rang out and interrupted him," Sometimes, daring to admit is also proof of courage.”
Pei Qian was silent for a moment.
Pei Yousheng placed his hands on his thighs and asked in a low voice," In the past three years, I didn't take the initiative to tell you the identities of the other students. How many of them do you know?"”
When Pei Qian heard this, he sat upright as if he was reading an exam paper. He replied," Seven people. Up until now, three of them are still unknown."”
"Which three?" Pei Yousheng asked.
"Yao Ying, Liu An, and Chen Qi.”Pei Qian answered truthfully.
Pei Yousheng nodded slightly and continued,"Do you know why I didn't choose to tell you their identities?"”
"Father's actions must have a deeper meaning."”
"This is a test for you.”
"I know your character. When you are in such a class, every student has a great background. You will definitely think of ways to find out everyone's identity.”
Pei Qian was silent.
"It's not bad to be able to figure out the identities of the seven of them.”Pei Yousheng commented lightly.
Hearing this, Pei Qian's eyes flashed with joy.
"However, these seven people's identities aren't particularly well-hidden. Moreover, they didn't intentionally hide their identities, so they can only be considered pretty good.”Pei Yousheng continued.
There were three types of students in the noble academies. The first type had a special family background and deliberately hid their identities from others.
One was to keep a low profile, but would not deliberately hide their identity. Most students belonged to this category.
The last type was to act in a high-profile manner and deliberately show off their identity, even to the extent that the entire school knew about it.
Yes, Pei Qian was the last one.
"Now that you are an adult, you should know a thing or two about your family. I will tell you the identities of the remaining three.”
Hearing this, Pei Qian widened his eyes and listened carefully.
"The first person is Yao Ying. Her family background is special. Her father is the head of the Public Security Bureau of South Sichuan City, so she keeps a low profile and doesn't show off.”
Pei Qian nodded.
The sheriff had a special status, and his juniors were especially low-key.
"The second person, Liu An." Pei Yousheng continued.
"He was born in the Liu family of Chuannan City. The Liu family has a great background and is a branch of the Liu family in Beijing.”
Pei Qian frowned slightly. Then, his eyes lit up and he asked,"Father, is it the Liu family that guards the Dragon Cave?"”
"Yes." Pei Yousheng nodded gently.
"No wonder, no wonder his initial sprite is a miniature dragon. It turns out to be a branch of the Liu family in the imperial capital.”Pei Qian thought to himself.
"This third person is also the one with the greatest background.”Pei Yousheng said slowly.
Pei Qian understood this principle. After all, the main character always appeared last.
"This Chen Qi is the grandson of the current Heavenly King of the superpower system, Heavenly King Chen.”Pei Yousheng said.
Pei Qian's eyes widened and he was flabbergasted.
After a moment, he said in surprise,"The grandson of Heavenly King Chen?"!!”
Although Chuannan City was considered a big city in the southwest region, it was not worth mentioning compared to the capital, Shanghai.
All the descendants of top aristocratic families or Heavenly Kings lived in these two places.
Liu An's background was already very deep in Pei Qian's eyes, but compared to Chen Qi, it paled in comparison.
Immediately after, Pei Qian seemed to have thought of something and quickly asked,"Does Heavenly King Chen live in Chuannan City?"”
Pei Yousheng nodded." This is a secret. Many years ago, Heavenly King Chen brought his clansmen to Chuannan City and settled down there for many years."”
"Do you know why?"
Pei Qian naturally did not know and shook his head.
"Chuannan City is close to the border, and the border isn't like the inland. From time to time, there will be a lot of chaos. Donghuang needs a strong trainer to guard this thousand-mile border.”
"And Heavenly King Chen's combat strength is monstrous. He's undoubtedly the best candidate.”
Pei Yousheng paused for a moment and sighed.”
"The reason why Chuannan City's business is so developed and why we have achieved so much is all thanks to Heavenly King Chen.”
"With him around, the border will be fine, and Chuannan City will prosper.”
Pei Qian was stunned when he heard this. He had never thought that Heavenly King Chen would be so important to Chuannan City. He had never thought that the prosperity of a city depended on one person.
Then, Pei Yousheng sighed and said," But Heavenly King Chen is old. If he steps down and the other heavenly kings come here, I don't know what changes will happen. Will it be good or bad for Chuannan City?"”
"But now, I see hope.”
Pei Qian's expression froze and he continued,"Father, could it be that you are referring to…Chen Qi?"”
" Yes." Pei Yousheng nodded." According to what you said, not only does he have the potential to become an elven scholar, but he also has the talent to become an excellent trainer."”
"It's very rare to be able to nurture a senior sprite at this time. It's enough to prove his talent.”
"With the clan's careful nurturing, perhaps another Heavenly King Chen will appear to guard the border.”
Pei Qian was stunned for a moment before he asked,"Father, do you mean that Chen Qi might become a Heavenly King?"”
" As long as he shows a certain talent," Pei Yousheng said in a deep voice," there will be countless people in Chuannan City who will pave the way for him and support him in his progress.”
"The current situation in Chuannan City is very good. No one wants to ruin the current good situation.”he said.
Then, Pei Yousheng's eyes flashed as he whispered,"Ten years!"”
"As long as he can become a Heavenly King within ten years, Chuannan City will forever prosper.”
Ten years…
When Pei Qian heard this, he was momentarily dazed.
Even the youngest and most talented Heavenly King Liu only became a Heavenly King at the age of 26.
Ten years later, Chen Qi would be twenty-eight years old, and the chances of him becoming a Heavenly King would be slim.
Moreover, the resources and support that Heavenly King Liu received were unparalleled. He was born in a top-notch aristocratic family with a thousand years of history.
Thinking of this, Pei Qian felt an inexplicable pressure in his heart.
"That thing is not worth much. As long as it can make Heavenly King Chen understand our thoughts, it's enough.”Pei Yousheng said.
……
At home.
Under Father and Mother Chen's watchful eyes, Chen Qi opened the exquisite wooden box on the table.
It was a crystal clear gem that emitted a purple luster under the light.
"This is the Evolution Strange Stone." Aunt Julia said after taking a look.
"Give this to the Strong Chicken. It's useful for it.”Aunt Julia continued.
Evolution Stone. If the elf carrying this item can evolve, its defense and special defense will increase by 50%.
It just so happened that the Strong Chicken's defense and special defense were relatively low, which could effectively make up for its shortcomings.
Seeing this, Father Chen sighed,"Pei Yousheng is so thoughtful.”
Aunt Julia chuckled and glanced at Father Chen.”
Chen Qi looked at the two of them suspiciously.
The two of them just stopped there and did not discuss this topic in depth. Instead, they said to Chen Qi," There is only one week until school starts. Do you want us to send you there?"”
Chen Qi shook his head and smiled.”
"That's fine. I'm quite busy during that period of time.”Aunt Julia yawned.
As a university professor, Aunt Julia was often so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground every time school started.
"By the way, your cousin said that she'll pick you up at the station and that you shouldn't take the new student reception car.”Father Chen suddenly said.
"Alright." Chen Qi nodded.
Bai Yue, Chen Qi's cousin, was about to be a sophomore at Imperial University.
She did not choose to go home during the summer vacation. Instead, she chose to team up with her classmates to explore the mystic realm and improve her strength.
This was also the choice of most college students.
The next morning.
Pei Qian sent a message in the class group chat.
"The results of the exploration at the bottom of the lake are out!!”
"How is it? What's inside?”
"Is there still a Violent Carp Dragon hidden?”
Pei Qian chuckled and tapped on the screen to send a message.
"No, no. We sent an unmanned submarine in to investigate and found that there were no other elves in the cave. Instead, it led to the outside.”
"To put it simply, you can treat the cave entrance as an underground river, from the lake to the Han River.”
"Han River?"
"The Han River is some distance away from there, right?”
"It's obvious that you haven't been studying hard. Our Southern Sichuan City is widely distributed with karst landforms. It's very normal for there to be an underground river.”
So that was how it was…
Chen Qi looked at the messages in the group and nodded silently.
Presumably, the Violent Carp Dragon had originally lived in the Han River. It had somehow entered the lake through this underground river and became Chen Qi's fishing master.
