The person involved didn’t feel it, but instead felt a bit overwheld that so many people ca to rescue him.
While supporting the wobbly-legged Cyril and walking towards the exit of the base, Su Li tilted his head and said oddly, “This feeling is like… wasting too much police force for no reason.”
He had a strange sense of déjà vu, as if he were a kidnapped salted fish being rescued, and the rescuers even deployed helicopters.
Even the boss ca…
In this situation, Su Li could only say, “Perhaps it’s because Dean Asa thinks I’m doing a decent job as a librarian?”
Otherwise, if he died, Asa Academy would have to find a new librarian. This might give people the impression that even the position of a librarian has a mortality rate…
Probably?
Cyril was already used to Su Li’s sotis overly jumpy thoughts, but regarding his idea, Cyril gave a negative answer.
“I rember telling you that you should value yourself more.”
“…This probably has nothing to do with so many people coming to save .” Su Li wasn’t being overly humble. He felt happy that so many people ca to rescue him; this was an instinctive concern for safety that ordinary people have.
He just felt that he didn’t know how to repay them, after all, he wasn’t soone with any special powers.
He was the type of person who, if soone threw a punch at him, the attacker would have to kneel and beg him not to die the next second. He was that weak.
Therefore, the inability to repay was what made Su Li feel a bit uncomfortable.
“It’s all related,” Cyril stopped and looked steadily at Su Li. “Because you’re very important, that’s why we all thought of using every ans to save you when we learned you were in trouble.”
“Although emphasizing this point gives the impression that we can’t live without you, it’s actually very close to the truth.”
Cyril couldn’t imagine how he would live if Su Li’s figure was no longer lying on the couch in the small building, spacing out.
“What you think doesn’t matter to . What matters is that you’re safe now.”
“And from now on, you will always be safe.”
Only the incompetent fail to protect their treasures.
Egbert nodded beside them. “Cyril is right.”
The Son of Light understood Cyril’s current thoughts very well. Constantly expressing one’s care for Su Li wasn’t a good thing. Occasionally ntioning it was enough to give Su Li a sense of security, but when it becos too frequent, it would only beco a constraint for Su Li.
This feeling would very likely cause Su Li to restrict so of his actions due to overly caring about others’ excessive care. For example, no longer being a librarian, which wasn’t impossible, on the contrary, it was highly probable.
Once that situation occurs, the protectors might feel more relaxed, but more often, they would realize that they were indeed important enough to influence his thoughts.
At that ti, everything would beco different from now.
For those who gathered around him of their own accord, it was enough for Su Li to just stay there, quietly treating everyone equally, guiding them on how to continue on the path they had chosen, then doing his own things and living the life he wanted to live.
Euphia was unwilling to maintain that confrontational stance with the leader of the Lion’s Club in front of Su Li, so she left a ssage for him. “Since this matter has nothing to do with you, why don’t you just go ho and stay there?”
While the other person was full of question marks, Euphia decisively walked towards Su Li. Everyone saw her raise a bright smile and say in a relaxed tone, “Since the matter has been resolved, let’s go ho early. It just so happens that there’s nothing in the alliance that requires my attention today.”
Cyril’s eyes beca vigilant after Euphia said this, “The food stock at ho currently doesn’t support you coming over for a free al, and bringing people is even more out of the question!”
Heaven knows, due to Su Li’s small stature, Cyril had been worried for a while that Su Li wouldn’t grow tall.
But with limited funds at ho, Cyril could only provide Su Li with as much nutritious food as possible when given the choice. Despite this, Su Li’s growth rate still made him worry if his little companion would actually grow tall…
At tis like this, others coming to freeload wasn’t just freeloading, it was compressing Su Li’s growth space!
There was no way Cyril, who wielded supre power in the kitchen, would agree to this.
Euphia didn’t mind Cyril’s excessive vigilance, which even showed a hint of obvious pickiness. She said quite frankly, “I can bring my own food.”
Not far away, Euphia’s father and Dean Asa were walking side by side, occasionally discussing how to significantly improve Su Li’s security without affecting his daily life.
When they heard about the option of freeloading, the two exchanged glances. Dean Asa chuckled twice and said, “I wonder if Su Li would welco us to have dinner at your place together.”
The old man was indeed more eloquent than Euphia, who planned to bring her own food. He smoothly changed the topic. “If you guys are not living well usually, I wouldn’t mind giving Su Li another raise.”
While Su Li was still pondering how much higher his monthly salary of 100,000 could go, Cyril had already rushed forward and grasped the other’s hand.
“Please do visit our humble abode!”
“By the way, I wonder if the Dean’s academy needs any other staff…”
Cyril seized the opportunity, trying to arrange a job for himself.
The reason Su Li could be a librarian was that he had no elental affinity. Even if books detailing elental cultivation thods were placed in front of him, he couldn’t understand what they ant.
Thus, precious things like elental cultivation thod inheritances had less practical value to him than a loaf of bread. Therefore, no one was more suitable for this kind of work than him.
But Cyril knew he was very ordinary, completely lacking Su Li’s uniqueness. So his requirents weren’t high; he thought even sweeping the floor would be fine.
Asa Academy was the only elental academy in this city. After Cyril erged from the daze of escaping Jisuo Town, he developed the idea of wanting to beco better, and thus learned about Asa Academy’s fees.
That number… how to put it, Su Li’s monthly salary was only equal to the monthly tuition consumption of their elite students.
It was said that the academy also had field training missions, during which the tuition would even double!
Cyril figured he probably couldn’t afford to attend school in this lifeti, so he thought maybe he could sneak into so classes while sweeping the floors there…
Dean Asa saw through his little sche at a glance. The corners of his eyes, marked with crow’s feet, crinkled into slits that made it impossible to see the expression in his eyes as he smiled. He declined on the spot. “I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you.”
As for later…
Su Li didn’t want to think about why the story hadn’t developed as he had imagined.
Shouldn’t the normal developnt after the kidnapping incident be Mark starting a new Chapter by choosing a new employer based on his personal strength?
Why did everyone follow him ho instead? Even the leader of the Lion’s Club, whose na he didn’t know, chose to follow along after being left puzzled by Euphia’s words.
This leader even added an excuse in his heart for this action. “I’m just observing up close to see what’s so special about Su Li, who’s gotten everyone’s attention.”
Su Li: headache.jpg
An ordinary twelve-year-old boy of 160cm was bearing a pain that he shouldn’t have to at this age.
Yet the soul inside decisively suggested when a bunch of people all sat down, “With so many people, why don’t we have hotpot?”
The soul’s thoughts belonged to the soul, and the body’s thoughts belonged to the body, not interfering with each other.
After Su Li explained what hotpot was, these people casually expressed that they would be very willing to experience this new food.
As the Lion’s Club leader boldly snatched the last atball from Euphia’s hand, he felt the spicy ball burst in his mouth. The scalding broth and chili’s heat made it difficult for him to close his mouth, yet his upbringing forced him to keep it shut.
Only after swallowing did the Lion’s Club leader, under Euphia’s glaring eyes, say, “I admit that the person you favor does indeed have sothing special.”
By now, everyone understood his unspoken implication.
Even from this novel food alone, one could sense Su Li’s uniqueness.
Su Li: ???
Euphia sneered, “Is that your reason for snatching my atball?”
“If you want to start a war, I’ll accompany you to the end!”
“There’s no need to escalate over a single atball,” the beneficiary spoke confidently. “You should be happy that I’m taking special notice of him.”
“In this city, the blind spots that the rcenary Alliance can’t reach have always been Lion’s Club territory.”
Euphia’s gaze turned cold, “Then can you explain why an organization dared to plot against you, and nearly succeeded?”
“If I weren’t too lazy to use this as an excuse to thoroughly tear into you, I guarantee you’d be eting the God of Light by now.”
“Or do you think that if you, as the leader, were to die, your subordinates, that loose collection of sand, would still dare to contend with the Alliance?” As Euphia spoke, her eyes showed blatant recklessness, and the aura around her gradually beca more violent.
Euphia’s specialty elent was intensely hot fire. Moreover, compared to the Lion’s Club’s short-term establishnt, the rcenary Alliance’s deep-rooted foundation had always been sothing the Lion’s Club could never hope to match.
“Don’t fight,” Su Li pinched the bridge of his nose. He had the distinct feeling that the table was about to be flipped by one of the two people before him.
“The dining table has always been one of the best places to discuss cooperation.”
Egbert promptly took note.
“Besides, since the Lion’s Club leader had the courage to co to enemy territory, he must have enough confidence,” Su Li didn’t want to be forced to replace a set of tableware for the house after the table was flipped.
And possibly chairs too…
