Earth, Kankyo University.
The sunshine forms mottled light and shadow through the shade of the trees. The temperature in July is slightly high, and the sun feels hot on the skin.
On the familiar tree-lined path, Su Linrui sat on a bench with her chin in her hands, looking at the water on the lake in concentration, her mind following the rippling ripples that had already flown to the past.
It is now summer vacation. The freshman year ended three days ago. After two months of rest, students will move up a level to become sophomores. At the same time, the new class of junior students will also arrive.
I vaguely heard that so-and-so has the qualifications to be a monster, but has the qualifications to be a saint.
Whenever she hears these rumors, she will naturally think of the person who worries her. Now when it comes to genius, no one can avoid him. He is now synonymous with genius.
It is also because of his existence that Luyuan, a city that was not so famous among the human race, suddenly became known to many people.
Some people who were concerned would deliberately inquire about the environment in which Xu Sheng grew up to see if they could learn anything from it, but in the end they found nothing. The information everyone got was also shown to them by senior officials. Now Xu Sheng is no longer just a random person. People can figure out growth information, and even senior executives are not able to obtain it easily.
If we divide the human race's confidentiality levels, then Xu Sheng must be at a very high level, and the human race spares no effort to protect him.
"I don't know what he is doing now..." She thought more intently. After calculating that nearly two months had passed since the last time the two met, it was really too long.
And it seemed that he was performing some top-secret mission. Every time she wanted to ask, the information she could get was very peripheral.
There was a sound of wheels rolling across the ground. She looked over subconsciously and found that it was a couple preparing to go home. Judging from the current time, it was most likely that they were freshmen. Only they were not qualified to go outside the territory, so they stayed behind. The school is not of much significance. After returning home, you can still enter the world and develop your people.
Originally, she should have returned to Luyuan at this time, but this year's changes allowed top students like her to enter the outside world in advance, and summer vacation was no longer summer vacation.
Even if you find a random area outside the territory, the time flow rate is more than a hundred times that in the World Sea. That is, one day is equivalent to three or four months in the World Sea. With such a big gap, no one will except temporarily enter the bottleneck period. Choose to go home and rest.
All along, the more ordinary the university, the more rest time students have, and the better the university, the less rest time.
In a place like Qianjing, if you don't want to fall behind, rest is basically a luxury.
What most people do is to go outside the territory to do tasks, and then come back to make up for the physical deficit and stay at home for two days. Calculated in this way, the two-month summer vacation can be almost ten days. This is what can be squeezed out. No.
And if you have a Taoist companion, your time will naturally be further compressed.
That is to say, you don't have to worry about things that your parents won't see when they get old. There will still be a lot of time to reunite in the future, and there is no rush. This is the biggest difference from ordinary humans.
Looking at the couple walking towards the school gate, she inevitably thought of Xu Sheng. Deep in her heart, she longed to be like them, but she knew that such opportunities were too rare. Xu Sheng's talent was doomed for him. It's impossible to stop.
I was so lost in thought that I didn't even know there was a person standing next to me.
"Linrui! What are you thinking about!"
Su Linrui suddenly woke up, looking at the beautiful woman standing next to her, she couldn't help but apologized: "I'm sorry, Susu, I was lost in thought just now."
Wu Su, who was dressed in bright red, joked: "You must be thinking about Xu Sheng again. You have been like this all the time during this period."
Su Linrui's pretty face turned red, but she made no excuse.
Wu Su walked to the side and sat down. She sighed in her heart: "Being a Taoist companion with someone like him, you have to be prepared to endure this."
Even as conceited as she is, she can only feel admiration for Xu Sheng.
As the number one scholar in a continent, Wu Su had never felt that she was inferior to anyone since she was a child. It was not until last year's quota selection that she saw what it meant to be a real monster.
However, there was a gap between them at that time, but it was not very obvious. Even the strength of the two sides might have been at the same level at the beginning. But in just one year, everything had changed. Everyone around her, including her, could not imagine Xu Sheng. How did you achieve such rapid improvement?
Even now, her law comprehension is only just 15%, which is definitely among the top few in the entire freshman year, but compared with that person, it is pitiful.
Don't talk about him, even the sophomores and juniors have been left out of sight by him, and now they do tasks directly with the seniors.
As for why she and Su Linrui call each other so affectionately now... it can only be said that their personalities are quite compatible.
Wu Su has always been the most talented girl in the top pick class. Although there are other girls in the class, they are all geniuses since childhood, and no one can convince the other.
But Su Linrui is different. Although Su Linrui has always been considered a genius, she is not the best among the people around her. She has always had competitors. Coupled with the family environment she received, the teachers she met, and her own personality, she has developed Her character is as elegant as orchid.
With such a personality and her rapid improvement in strength in the past year, it is reasonable for her to be recognized by Wu Su. The two met because they happened to meet during an experience outside the territory, and then they formed a team and worked together for a while. I found that the other person had a good personality, so I kept up my behavior. After a few months, the relationship is now very good.
For people who were not familiar with Su Linrui at the beginning, their first impression of her was naturally related to Xu Sheng, and they had some thoughts in their minds. But after a long time, everyone understood that Su Linrui's current strength was more about herself. s hard work.
Objectively speaking, Su Linrui is the typical type who works hard quietly and then surprises everyone. She was the same in high school. She was ranked second or third in most of Luyuan, but she was far behind in the college entrance examination. She joined a group of people and achieved fourth place. In comparison, Han Yu and his like were now far behind her.
If Xu Sheng's light was not so dazzling, many people would be surprised to find that Su Linrui's strength has improved far more than others since the quota selection.
"I'm going to go to the place I discovered last time tomorrow to practice. What about you?" Wu Su chatted with Su Linrui for a while, and then revealed his true purpose.
She came to find Su Linrui to be her teammate. The place she found was considered a small treasure realm. There may be some useful law comprehension items in it. After getting them, her strength can be improved a lot, but if it is not good, it will not be good for her. One person's strength is still a bit lacking.
To her disappointment, Su Linrui shook her head and refused.
"I don't know why, but I've been feeling a little restless these past few days, so I want to be quiet for a while. If nothing else happens, I should go home first."
Wu Su frowned slightly, not because she was unhappy at being rejected, but because she was worried about Su Linrui's words. Although Su Linrui's strength was slightly lower than hers, her premonitions about certain things were also extremely keen. It happened naturally, and naturally it wasn't There is no wind but no waves.
"If you have any problems, tell me as soon as possible and we will solve them together."
"Thanks, I will." Su Linrui smiled at her.
Early the next morning, Wu Su went to the outside world. Su Linrui originally wanted to send her off, but Wu Su refused, saying there was no need to waste this time.
After Wu Su left, all the familiar people were outside the territory, and there was no one in the school who could talk to her heart. After thinking about it for a while, she decided that she might as well go back to Luyuan first.
So she arrived home at four o'clock in the afternoon.
At 4:27, she arrived at her home on Saint Island.
Su Qinglian and Tu Zhaojiu were naturally very surprised when they saw their daughter suddenly coming back, and then they were happy.
Tu Zhaojiu complained while unpacking her daughter's luggage: "Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back? I asked your dad to pick you up. It saved you the trouble of having to take public rail transit."
Su Linrui smiled softly and said: "My daughter has grown up, and you don't need to worry about anything... and you also have a lot of things to be busy with, and time is precious."
Su Qinglian also walked to the side at this time. He deliberately said with a straight face: "Nothing is more important than picking up my precious daughter!"
If there are levels of daughter slaves, then Su Qinglian is definitely the very high one.
Everyone's personality is not created out of thin air. Although nature plays a large role, the environment in which one grows up is equally important.
The reason why Su Linrui is as gentle as she is now is because her parents gave her all the love.
The family of three had a heartwarming dinner.
Su Linrui naturally did not forget her teacher, but the teacher also had his own family, and she did not need to disturb him at this time.
During the chat time after dinner, Su Qinglian naturally asked Su Linrui carefully about her experience during this period.
Naturally, Su Linrui would only pick out some non-dangerous situations, and those dangers she had encountered were ignored. Both husband and wife knew this well, because they also came here like this back then.
Even if their daughter doesn't say anything, they can still think of how much she has paid to have the strength she has now.
They had never thought that their daughter would be able to reach her current heights and become a leader in a place like Qianjing University. With such a speed of progress, it is no surprise that her future achievements would be higher than theirs.
This is naturally something that makes them happy. How many parents don’t want to see their children grow up?
"You still have to pay more attention to safety when training outside the territory. Sometimes there is no need to keep fighting for treasures that can be given up. It doesn't matter if your strength improves a little slower." Tu Zhaojiu still felt sorry for her daughter and couldn't help but say this.
"Yes." Su Linrui nodded obediently, but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. If she didn't try to improve her strength, how could she chase after him?
Both of them were very familiar with Su Linrui, and they could both feel what she was thinking. After the couple looked at each other, they both had a tacit understanding and said nothing more.
But after thinking for a while, Su Linrui finally made an important decision.
She raised her head, looked at her parents, her tone became extremely formal, and said, "Actually, my daughter has something else to tell you."
Su Qinglian and Tu Zhaojiu both subconsciously sat upright, and then they heard a sentence that made their hearts full of mixed emotions.
"Xu Sheng and I... have confirmed our relationship."
Surprise, joy, sadness...all kinds of emotions came out.
Although Su Qinglian had imagined this moment many times, there had never been a moment when his mood was so complicated.
It was better for the mother to recover first. Tu Zhaojiu sighed: "It's a good thing that my daughter has found her Taoist companion."
Xu Sheng and the others are naturally no strangers. Although they have not met him yet, they have heard this name too many times in the past year.
The name "The First Genius of the Human Race" is too familiar. The higher the level of people, the more they know what this name means.
Therefore, in terms of their own talents, they are not picky, and their background is not too picky. Even better, they are also from Luyuan.
They still don't know what kind of person he is, after all, they have never met him face to face, but they all believe in their daughter's vision. If his character is not good, his daughter will not be able to like him.
"Now that the relationship is confirmed, let's bring him back for the New Year this year." Tu Zhaojiu said with a smile. The child has been alone for so many years and became a Taoist couple with his daughter. Naturally, he can no longer spend the New Year alone.
"Humph, I haven't agreed yet." Su Qinglian said with some amusement.
Originally, he wanted to find some faults. Dads generally treat their daughters' boyfriends like this... But even though he didn't want to admit it, he had to say that the Taoist monk his daughter had found really didn't seem to have any faults with him. The place.
Outside, such a good son-in-law would be hard to find even with a lantern, but this was the case, and he couldn't get rid of the taste in his heart.
"Why didn't he come back with you this time? Is he practicing outside the territory?" The mother thought more carefully and asked curiously.
There is nothing to hide from her parents. Su Linrui said helplessly: "I haven't seen him for a long time. He seems to be doing a very important task now, and I don't know too much information."
Su Qinglian didn't say that Xu Sheng didn't even tell him this information. Instead, he nodded in understanding and said: "He is now a half-saint. It is indeed too early for you to carry out tasks at the semi-saint level. It is normal for you not to know."
Tu Zhaojiu felt sorry for her daughter. She had also gone through this step back then and knew what it felt like not to see each other for a long time. More importantly, she could now predict that such things would happen more often in the future.
