Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 902: Chapter 700: Family Life (Part 2)

"Ah? Little Yuan is back!"

Hearing the commotion at the door, Tang Shiyang happily came to greet him.

Seeing Su Yuan’s head full of silver hair, Tang Shiyang was immediately shocked and said, "Little Yuan, why is your hair all white, what’s going on!"

Su Yuan smiled and said, "It’s nothing, mom, I’ve just made some progress in cultivation."

"Oh... this white hair does look quite shiny." Tang Shiyang carefully looked and then relaxed a bit, "It’s different from my gray hair."

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan’s heart tightened, and sure enough, he saw a few strands of white hair at the ends of Tang Shiyang’s hair.

Although Su Yang and Tang Shiyang lived very comfortably, with some life-extending, spirit-nourishing items sent back by Su Yuan.

But compared to physical nourishment, the mental exhaustion was even more severe.

Su Yuan was away for years, which made Tang Shiyang very worried.

Sometimes she’d wake up in the middle of the night, frightened by nightmares fearing that something had happened to Su Yuan.

Su Yuan gently stroked his mother’s gray hair, fell silent briefly, and couldn’t help but step forward to gently hug her.

After a while, Su Yang behind them laughed and called, "Alright, wife and son, come on in!"

The four of them returned to the table and sat down.

After setting up another place setting, Tang Shiyang asked while serving Su Yuan food, "Why did you suddenly come back? Little Ai said you were busy with something important in the Capitol City."

Su Yuan smiled and said, "Well, I just finished up, so I came back first."

"Was it smooth?" Su Yang couldn’t help but ask.

Su Yang and Tang Shiyang never asked Su Yuan about his exact work, one is because they didn’t really understand it, and the other is because they knew Su Yuan needed his private space.

Su Yuan said, "It went smoothly."

Tang Shiyang happily said, "Good! As long as it went smoothly!"

Suddenly remembering something, Tang Shiyang gave Su Yuan a large portion of shredded potatoes.

"Try the shredded potatoes, how is it?"

"Mmm!..." Ashley immediately became tense and turned to look at Su Yuan, feeling another wave of expectation in her heart.

"It seems a little different from how you used to make it, mom." Su Yuan ate a couple of bites and then nodded slightly, "Hmm... but it’s still quite good."

Tang Shiyang smiled and said, "I didn’t make this, Little Ai made it. You just happened to come back on the first day she tried making it!"

"Oh?" Su Yuan looked at Ashley beside him and nodded in praise, "Really? That’s impressive then!"

"Auntie was always by my side teaching me." Ashley felt her face warm up slightly, quickly maintaining her composure as she served Su Yuan another portion, "You... have more."

Su Yuan smiled and said, "Alright, then I’ll taste it thoroughly~"

...

After the meal and a brief rest, the Su family prepared to go out for a stroll to digest the food.

Su Yuan and Ashley naturally didn’t need to digest, but for Father Su and Mother Su, a walk was definitely beneficial.

"In the past couple of years, our Guangchuan City has developed quickly~" Su Yang remarked with emotion as they walked along the streets near Nanhe Park.

Tang Shiyang proudly said, "According to Director Wang, our Little Yuan played a part in all this!"

Su Yuan and Ashley’s silver hair was already quite eye-catching, and when Tang Shiyang said this, it attracted even more attention from people nearby.

Su Yang hastily said, "Shh! Honey, keep it down, be modest, be modest!"

Tang Shiyang snorted, "What am I afraid of? My son is excellent, so what’s wrong with being a little proud? Right, Little Yuan?"

Every time Wang Haiping came back to Guangchuan for work, he’d visit Father Su and Mother Su.

Therefore, Tang Shiyang and Wang Haiping became quite familiar and learned some things about Su Yuan’s recent activities from him.

Su Yuan didn’t know exactly what Wang Haiping had told the elders, only that he could smile and say, "There’s a bit of truth to it, but Senior Brother Wang, who rose from Guangchuan City as a leader in Qingye, naturally takes care of Guangchuan City."

Tang Shiyang pondered and said, "Oh... that’s true."

After walking for a while, Su Yuan received a new message on his phone.

Checking it, it was indeed from Wang Haiping.

Wang Haiping: "Junior Brother, I’m in Guangchuan City. Where are you?"

Su Yuan looked around, noticing that the crewcut man who was of Shining Star Level and had been across from the Four Seasons Garden earlier hadn’t followed them over.

Su Yuan thought briefly and understood Wang Haiping’s intention.

Since Su Yuan himself was present, there was no need for others to protect Su Yang and Tang Shiyang.

And in Wang Haiping’s view, someone like Su Yuan would definitely dislike being followed secretly.

Being fellow disciples, asking upfront upon arrival actually made them seem closer.

Tang Shiyang turned back and asked, "Little Yuan, something’s up?"

"Hmm, Senior Brother Wang is here."

Tang Shiyang was surprised and said, "Oh? Director Wang came from Qingye again? He was here last week to visit us, bringing some ’Spirit Fruit’ and saying it’s good for health."

Su Yang said, "Dear, Director Wang must have come because he heard our son was back. They have things to discuss."

"Oh, that must be it."

Su Yang said to Su Yuan, "Then your mom and I will head back, you stay and wait for Director Wang. We won’t understand what you talk about anyway."

After a brief contemplation, Su Yuan nodded and instructed Ashley, "Ashley, you can escort Mom and Dad back."

Ashley was just about to agree when Tang Shiyang waved her hand and said, "Hey! No need, just take care of your matters, your dad and I will take another stroll by ourselves."

With that, Tang Shiyang smiled at Ashley and said, "Little Ai, you stay with Little Yuan and come back together~"

"Auntie, this..." Ashley turned to look at Su Yuan.

Su Yuan could only say, "Alright then, Mom and Dad, be careful on your way."

"It’s fine~" said Tang Shiyang, as she tugged Su Yang away for their own private time.

Su Yuan took out his phone and sent his location to Wang Haiping, then walked slowly along the riverbank with Ashley.𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Su Yuan walked in front, with Ashley trailing half a step behind.

"Congratulations, boss, on successfully stepping into the Burning Sun Realm," Ashley said in congratulation.

"Yes, I owe it to you for taking care of my parents all this time, and the construction of the Qingming Realm is going well too. Thank you for your hard work, Ashley."

Ashley calmly replied, "You’re welcome, boss. It’s what I should do."

Su Yuan glanced at the inscrutable Ashley, always feeling he couldn’t quite see through her.

"How’s your cultivation going?"

"Thanks to your concern, if I can continue cultivating in the Qingming Realm, I should reach the Full Moon in a year or so."

"That’s quite fast~"

Su Yuan nodded. Now the Qingming Realm boasts advanced star veins, spiritual plants and fruits, the Jade Lotus Enlightenment Platform... Such cultivation resources are rich and top-notch.

Though not enough to support armies or colleges, they’re more than sufficient for a few individuals.

Su Yuan never hesitated to share with Ashley, Mo Fei, and Antonios, so their cultivation progress was also not slow.

As the two strolled along the roadside, Ashley gradually informed Su Yuan about the current situation in Guangchuan and the surrounding cities.

Currently, this entire region, including Guangchuan and Qingye, which connects to the Grey Realm Sand Swamp Zone, is overseen by a King-level figure from Shuzhou City.

And Guangchuan City, as one of the gateways to the Sha Ze Domain, has a Burning Sun level expert from the Southern Military District stationed.

As they conversed and walked, Su Yuan looked up, somewhat surprised.

"What a coincidence, running into them again? And they’re actually together?"

Four people were approaching from the front: Zhuang Xun, Fang Kun, Jiang Jun, and the long-haired female classmate who was with Jiang Jun last time.

It had been a while since Su Yuan last saw Zhuang Xun and Fang Kun. They had maintained contact during college, but after these years, they had lost touch.

Su Yuan didn’t deliberately avoid them, and the sharp-eyed Zhuang Xun soon saw Su Yuan and Ashley walking toward them.

Zhuang Xun blinked in surprise and uncertainty before he hesitantly said, "Su Yuan?"

"Zhuang Xun, long time no see," Su Yuan said with a smile.

"Haha, it really is you!" Zhuang Xun exclaimed with surprise and delight, closely scrutinizing Su Yuan, "It’s been a long time indeed, your hair color has changed, I couldn’t quite be sure!"

"Su Yuan!" Fang Kun greeted as well.

However, Jiang Jun remained silent, merely looking at Su Yuan.

Su Yuan asked, "How come the three of you are together?"

Zhuang Xun laughed, "With the star beasts frequently spilling out from the Grey Realm into Guangchuan now, Fang Kun and the others asked me to join them in providing some protection.

Besides, the ’War Preparer System’ of the Star Card Master Association offers generous rewards for Grey Realm-related tasks, it’s a good chance to find a breakthrough opportunity~"

Su Yuan assessed the group, recognizing Zhuang Xun and Fang Kun, former special admissions students of Shuzhou, who were now at the Gold Limit, just a step away from Radiant Moon.

Meanwhile, Jiang Jun and the long-haired girl Chen Qiao, both Green Card Masters, progressed more slowly, each being at the Gold Middle Stage.

Of course, progressing slower was only relative to top-notch students at elite colleges. In Shuzhou College, Jiang Jun and Chen Qiao were considered above average.

Zhuang Xun and the others also sized up Su Yuan, finding themselves increasingly astonished.

Fang Kun took a deep breath, sighed, and said, "Su Yuan, you truly are becoming more and more unfathomable..."

Zhuang Xun joked half-seriously, "Su Yuan, care to share what level you’re at now?

It’s rumored that you graduated early during your sophomore, Shining Star level. Have you already become a Radiant Moon expert, shaking the Great Flame, and commanding your own territory?"

Fang Kun, Jiang Jun, and Chen Qiao couldn’t help but gaze at Su Yuan at these words.

Seeing this, Su Yuan replied with a half-joke, "Hard to say, don’t want to discourage you~"

Zhuang Xun and the others were all taken aback by this response, which they interpreted as a silent confirmation!

If it were only Shining Star level, he would have said so directly!

Although reaching Radiant Moon within four or five years seemed exaggerated, if it were this extraordinarily impressive individual, it didn’t seem so exaggerated at all!

"Really at True Bright Moon Level?" Zhuang Xun smacked his lips, unable to resist confirming again.

Su Yuan just smiled, saying no more, not wanting to truly discourage him.

Zhuang Xun took a deep breath and suddenly shouted up at the sky, "I’ve been stuck at Shining Star level for almost two years! Oh, the heavens are unfair!"

"Cough, cough..." Fang Kun quickly gave a dry cough, "Lower your voice, we’re surrounded by people."

But this put everyone in a lighter mood.

Su Yuan smiled, "I think you and Fang Kun are about to break through as well. I’d say, within two months or at most half a year, you’ll be there."

"Oh?" Zhuang Xun and Fang Kun’s eyes lit up.

Zhuang Xun grabbed Su Yuan’s hand, immediately asking, "Really, Radiant Moon expert!"

"Nine times out of ten. Just tough it out. Spend more money on cultivating in high-concentration Star Mist Pools now, and you’ll see better effects~"

Zhuang Xun rejoiced, "Great, great! Just in time to earn more War Preparation Contribution Points from this task!"

Su Yuan continued chatting with Zhuang Xun and Fang Kun for a while.

Zhuang Xun turned to Ashley, teasingly asking, "Su Yuan, is this Northern beauty next to you...?"

Ashley immediately said, "I’m the emp..."

"She’s my friend." Su Yuan interjected, feeling no need to explain about "contracted subordinates" to Zhuang Xun and the others.

"Oh?" Zhuang Xun chuckled, wearing an ’I understand’ expression.

The silent Jiang Jun suddenly said faintly, "I remember it was another girl last time."

"Uh..." Su Yuan was taken aback, detecting a hint of grievance in Jiang Jun’s tone.

"Oh? Really!" Zhuang Xun and Fang Kun laughed out loud, "Su Yuan, your charm is something else!"

Su Yuan chuckled and shook his head, knowing full well it couldn’t be explained clearly.
