Is It Too Late to Leave the Chat Group? Book 6: Chapter 30: Mister Chen Has a Rudimentary Understand

“Master, I’m back!” Chen Heng called out as he entered, carrying groceries.

Having soone waiting at ho felt wonderful.

“You’re back? Why are you alone? I thought your senior sister went to fetch you,” Fu Hua inquired from the sofa, where she’d been ditating, when she saw Chen Heng return alone.

“Senior Sister? She went to recapture a target with Rita. That target escaped again. But don’t worry, Master. She’ll be back before dinner without any issues.”

“That’s good, Little Heng. So, what did you buy?”

“Just so ordinary ingredients. I’m planning to cook XXXX tonight,” Chen Heng replied, placing the ingredients in the kitchen.

“Little Heng, you can cook?”

“I can. I once bought a mid-tier cooking skill from the Dinsion Administrators Association store to care for Sirin. Don’t underestimate that mid-tier cooking—just mid-tier already places at the apex of ordinary chefs. Relax, Master; I’ll handle dinner tonight.”

“Alright, then.” Fu Hua trusted the skills sold by the Dinsion Administrators Association. Anything could be bought with the right amount of points, and quality was assured.

With a nod, she resud ditating. What a cultivation maniac!

Upon seeing Fu Hua’s dedication, Chen Heng felt a pang of guilt.

Since becoming a cultivator, he rarely cultivated, focusing instead on refining Will Energy swords.

He had already mastered 89 sword conceptions from the Chen Clan Sword Technique. However, it was just these 89 sword conceptions. He had not even practiced the Void Sword Technique he had received in exchange for the Void Arts.

Sword conceptions were not easy to cultivate. Right now, Chen Heng was busy forming Will Energy swords. However, once he ford Will Energy swords for all 89 sword conceptions, he could switch to studying sword techniques and also cultivate Spiritual Energy to raise his cultivation realm.

Shortly after Chen Heng finished preparing a few dishes, he washed his hands and headed to the door. There, he found Mo Qingtong about to knock and Raven, who was almost always by her side.

Speaking of which, Chen Heng was genuinely surprised by Raven. Before playing Honkai Impact 3rd, he hadn’t thought much of her. However, after playing the ga, he found it uncanny how similar the Raven standing before him looked to the Raven in Honkai Impact 3rd.

Was this so parallel-world thing?

After the world rger, the lore set the two Ravens as blood-related relatives but not siblings.

Chen Heng wasn’t sure if the two Ravens knew of each other’s existence. He knew about this peculiarity due to possessing the settings of the world rger.

The settings of the world rger recorded all the changes that took place after the world rger. Although he hadn’t read through them entirely, he’d skimd enough.

“Why are you standing there like a fool? Co in.” Chen Heng beckoned to Mo Qingtong, who was still in a knocking posture.

Mo Qingtong smiled foolishly at the apron-clad Chen Heng. Then she guessed what had happened. She knew about Chen Heng’s Absolute Precognition.

Setting aside her intention to knock, she and Elder Sister Raven stepped in.

“Qingtong, take a seat. I’ll finish cooking. There’s a portion for you. Also, this is my master, so be respectful and understand the seniority.”

“Got it.”

“Oh, by the way, Elder Sister Raven, if soone knocks later, please answer. It will likely be my senior sister, Cheng Lixue.”

“Understood, Young Master Heng.”

After giving Mo Qingtong a heads-up, Chen Heng returned to his cooking. He had interrupted his al preparation earlier only to open the door for Mo Qingtong.

Soon after he finished cooking, a knock sounded. This ti, Elder Sister Raven answered the door, revealing Cheng Lixue outside. Standing behind Cheng Lixue was another person, Rita Rossweisse.

When Rita Rossweisse saw Raven, her eyes montarily widened in surprise, but she quickly regained her composure.

After Raven invited the two in, she kept staring at Rita Rossweisse.

Although Raven didn’t know who Rita Rossweisse was, she felt irritated by the other woman’s presence but couldn’t pinpoint why.

Could their character settings have clashed? The one covered eye, the maid outfit, and the mature air?

“Master, I’m back.”

“Hmm.”

“Rita pays her respects to Madam Fu Hua. I hope Madam Fu Hua has been well?”

“I’ve been good. What brings you here, Rita?”

“I’m rely here on an assignnt. I heard Madam Fu Hua was around and wanted to pay my respects. However, it seems I’ve co at an inconvenient ti. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave and visit so other day.”

Glancing at Chen Heng bustling in the kitchen, Rita Rossweisse realized dinner preparation ti wasn’t the best ti to visit.

“You don’t need to leave so soon. If Little Heng likes you, he’ll surely include you in the al.”

“Huh?”

“Please stay for dinner, Miss Rita. I prepared enough for six people.”

That was how the sowhat bewildered Rita Rossweisse found herself seated at Chen Heng’s dining table.

Rita Rossweisse originally planned to leave after a brief visit with Fu Hua. However, the tantalizing aromas emanating from Chen Heng’s kitchen and the fact it was dinner ti made her reconsider. Having worked the entire day without a al and encouraged by Chen Heng’s invitation, she decided to stay.

During the al, Chen Heng occupied the host’s seat, not Fu Hua. Upon noticing this, Rita Rossweisse beca pensive and shifted her gaze toward Raven seated across from her.

Coincidentally, Raven was also looking at Rita Rossweisse. Their eyes t for a mont before they averted their gazes, both with a hint of disdain.

------

After the al, Rita Rossweisse did not depart imdiately. “Mister Chen Heng, have you considered enrolling at St. Freya Academy? With your academic prowess, you’d surely qualify. Furthermore, as Madam Fu Hua’s disciple, passing the St. Freya Academy’s tests should be easy, right?”

“…Why does everyone want to attend St. Freya Academy? I’m just an ordinary person with no special combat skills. What I’ve learned from my master are scholarly pursuits and life experiences. As you can see, I only have a rudintary understanding of swordsmanship. I’m no match for those ability users and Valkyries.”
