Chapter 141: Chapter 112: Ushering in Evolution

But anyone with a brain could tell she was running a background check on her future son-in-law.

Gu Qing’s expression was calm as he answered smoothly, "My dad is a designer, my mom is a Chinese teacher at No. 2 High School, and I have a younger sister who’s taking her college entrance exams this year."

"A son and a daughter, a family of four. That’s wonderful."

Chen Shulan said with a smile.

For the next few minutes, her enthusiasm unabated, she continued to ask about Gu Qing’s studies, future plans, and daily hobbies.

The questions came one after another, endlessly.

Gu Qing patiently answered each one, his demeanor composed and at ease the entire time, without a hint of awkwardness.

Seeing her own mother’s relentless questioning, Xia Shuran, who was sitting beside them, quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks to complain:

"Mom, stop asking so many questions! Who asks this much the first time they meet someone? It’s like you’re running an interrogation. You’re going to scare Senior so bad he’ll never dare to visit again."

’Fine, fine. Now that you have a handsome senior, you’re not on your own mother’s side anymore, are you?’

’No wonder your dad called to complain about you earlier.’

Chen Shulan couldn’t help but grumble internally for a moment, but on the surface, she just smiled sweetly and said:

"Oh, look at me. I just get carried away and ask too many questions when I’m happy."

"Here, Xiaogu, have some more food. If it’s not enough, Auntie will go cook some more for you."

"Whatever you want to eat, Auntie will make it."

Chen Shulan said, beaming at Gu Qing.

As for Xia Dongsheng, who was sitting to the side, he had a stern expression on his face from beginning to end.

After Chen Shulan stopped her interrogation, the conversation at the dinner table gradually shifted.

Gu Qing chatted with the mother and daughter about amusing school stories and the daily routine at the martial arts hall, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

...

「After dinner.」

The four of them returned to the living room to sit and relax.

Father Xia remained silent, leaning back on the sofa with his eyes closed to rest, only occasionally opening them to glance at Gu Qing.

Chen Shulan, on the other hand, was making small talk with Gu Qing, occasionally exchanging a few words with her daughter.

They chatted for quite some time.

Gu Qing picked up his phone and glanced at the time.

Seeing that it was getting late, he stood up and politely took his leave from Xia Shuran’s parents:

"Uncle Xia, Aunt Chen, it’s getting late. I plan to return to the martial arts hall to continue my Martial Dao training with Elder Xia. Thank you for your hospitality today, I’m sorry for the intrusion."

Hearing that he was going back to continue training, Xia Shuran’s delicate body couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

Back when she was still an ordinary person, her senior would drag her to the training grounds almost every afternoon, working her until her legs went soft and she couldn’t take it anymore.

She never thought that even after becoming an Extraordinary Awakened, she would still be ruthlessly put through the wringer by her senior like this.

’Is Senior an ox or something?’

’How can he be so tireless?’

’He’s so full of energy every day, constantly plowing the same field without a break, never letting it rest.’

’The field will break down if it’s overworked, you know?’

’It’s too much!’

Xia Shuran couldn’t help but grumble inwardly.

"Xiaogu, it’s rare for you to visit. Won’t you stay a little longer?"

Chen Shulan tried to persuade him to stay. "Auntie even bought a lot of fruit. How about I go cut some up for you to try?"

Gu Qing smiled and politely declined, "No thank you, Aunt Chen. Training is more important."

He had come to see his junior today mainly to farm Attributes from her [Martial Saint] tag. He really didn’t have time to stay and keep chatting.

Seeing this, Chen Shulan didn’t insist.

Xia Dongsheng just gave a faint nod in acknowledgement, his face remaining devoid of any smile from start to finish.

They didn’t linger.

Gu Qing and Xia Shuran quickly got up from the sofa.

And walked toward the door together.

Chen Shulan smiled, telling them to be careful on their way as she watched them leave.

A gentle breeze brushed against their faces as they stepped out of the courtyard gate.

Gu Qing looked in the direction of the Jixia Martial Arts Hall. The thought of being able to furiously farm Attributes from the [Martial Saint] tag to get stronger made him feel a surge of excitement.

The boost to his body from [+1 True Martial Arts Dao] far exceeded the previous [+1 Physical Strength].

He could vaguely sense that if he farmed just a few more points of True Martial Arts Dao, his Biological Level would evolve.
