My portable grandfather refreshes every week

Chapter 115 Maybach on the Elevated Highway in the Rain

He had just finished reviewing the information on the three people, and to be honest, it was quite an eye-opener for him.

That Yunxing looks like a hot-blooded fool, but he is an orphan and now works as a servant in a noble family. He studies at school during the day and works hard at the noble family's house at night.

It could also be because of his good looks that he was able to be hired as a male servant by a noble family despite being an orphan. It was also because of this identity that he was able to be tested for psychic aptitude and then join this psychic academy.

That noble family may have allowed him to work while attending school in order to cultivate more loyal followers.

If Xue Dinglu hadn't come, this child's future life would probably have been to become a near-Tier 2 psychic, then marry into some noble family's collateral branch and become a butler for life.

Ronald, on the other hand, was a bit luckier than Yunxing. Although his parents had both died, he was diagnosed with psionic talent when he was 5 years old.

That is, the year Lieutenant Robert joined the artificial behemoth project, he was placed under protection by the higher-ups and his case was recorded.

Even though his original city was destroyed and he was moved to the capital, his recorded label of "possessing exceptional psychic talent" made him a highly sought-after figure among countless nobles, high-ranking officials, and tycoons.

Therefore, when he was 7 years old, he was directly married into the family of a high-ranking official. The official only had one daughter and no son, so he was able to become a member of the family and attend the Psionic Academy.

Of all the people in Xue's group, only Ronald, the loser, is married—he's actually engaged and has moved in with his wife's family.

The high-ranking official had no intention of letting Ronald join the political arena. Instead, he allowed Ronald to focus on developing his psionic abilities. Even so, having lived under someone else's roof since the age of seven, he still developed this insecure personality.

Or rather, he is very insecure and lacks love.

His fiancée is actually a very nice young lady, but she has been sickly since childhood and spends most of her time in the hospital. He, on the other hand, has been studying psychic powers since childhood, so the two of them don't see each other often, and when he does visit, it's usually to take care of her illness.

But he was indeed lucky. Even though Lieutenant Ronald died, he grew up smoothly because of the psychic talent that was detected when he was young, unlike Yunxing who suffered a lot at the bottom of society before finally reaching the position of a noble servant.

Or perhaps it's simply a lack of love, a lack of hardship; his heart is also very fragile, as if a lion is hiding in his pupils.

On the contrary, this girl is the most ordinary of the three. Her father is a working-class man, her mother is a working-class man, and she grew up in an ordinary life amidst constant nagging.

For some reason, Xue Dinglu felt a strong sense of déjà vu about this three-person team.

"Let's go, I'll take you home." Xue Dinglu pressed the key, the garage door opened, and the car lights flashed.

"Then I'll trouble you, teacher," Wu Li replied, her words always sharp and eloquent.

The original owner's car was one of the world's top luxury cars, or rather, a limited edition gift from a luxury car company to him, the monarch.

If it were on Earth, it would be at least a Maybach-level sports car.

Once inside, the overall structure is simpler and the operation is much more convenient. The driving mode is more like using a joystick, and Xue's Law quickly got the hang of it.

The three little ones also got into the car. The unlucky guy sat in the passenger seat, while the senior sister and the silly star sat in the back seat.

Actually, the guy really wanted to sit in the back seat with his senior sister, but she quietly told him to go to the passenger seat. Being shy, he could only sit in the passenger seat first.

"Wu Li, your house is the closest, let me take you there first," Xue Dinglu said as he started the luxury car.

"Ah."

On a rainy night, the sky hung low, as if to swallow up this bustling capital. Streetlights flickered, and rainwater pooled on the ground, reflecting hazy light and shadow.

The vehicle emitted a deep, powerful roar, its tires churning through the puddles, splashing water everywhere, while the windshield wipers swung back and forth across the windshield, tracing clear lines.

The rain intensified, and the raindrops made a crisp sound as they hit the car.

"Want to listen to some music?" Xue Dinglu asked casually.

The raindrops pattered, and the three little ones seemed too afraid to speak.

"Then I'll play one of my favorites." Xue Daolu didn't turn on the car's music system. Instead, he took out his phone and played a famous song from Earth, "Take Me Higher."

"By the way, Ronald, how's your fiancée's condition?" Xue asked the unlucky kid next to him while driving.

At the same time, Xue Luding sensed that the Zero Beast within his body seemed to have some instinctive reactions. Even though he knew that Lieutenant Robert's consciousness had long since disappeared, the Beast still instinctively retained its love for its son.

"I...I'm not feeling well..." the loser stammered. He suddenly looked at the senior in the rearview mirror and didn't dare to say a word. With his secret exposed, he felt like he could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of the car's chassis with his toes.

A bolt of lightning flashed and disappeared in the clouds, followed by a deafening explosion, and the rain intensified.

The luxury car climbed up the side road and onto the elevated road, while the elevated road stretched out in the distance like a gray rainbow, disappearing into the white rain.

"Oh, you're already married?" the senior student asked, quite surprised.

This seemed to make the loser even more self-conscious. Sitting in the passenger seat, Xue Daolu felt like he wanted to bury his head in his clothes like an ostrich.

Another Yunxing was equally surprised, not expecting that the youngest among them would be the first to get married.

“He got married when he was 7 years old. You might know his fiancée; she’s the daughter of the head of the Imperial Capital Industrial Company.” Xue Dinglu revealed the secret that the loser had been hiding all along.

He was a son-in-law who had to marry into the family to gain admission to the psychic school.

"Wow, Ronald, you've got a gigolo! I'm so envious!" Yun Xing genuinely congratulated him. Having lost both his parents, he had struggled from the bottom of society since childhood, relying on his own strength and ability to get into a noble family as a servant before starting his new life. He naturally didn't have the self-pitying thoughts of a spoiled brat; he just felt that this junior brother was really lucky. He wished he could have had a gigolo when he was young.

The loser seemed unwilling to continue the conversation; he didn't want others to know about his life...

Stop talking, stop talking...

Teacher, please stop talking...

Looking at the mask of pain on his face and the pathetic lion in his pupils, Xue Dinglu couldn't help but find it amusing.

Luxury cars drove on the elevated highway, their windshield wipers constantly clearing away the rain.

On Xue Dinglu's phone, the song "Take Me Higher" continued to play, seemingly the only sound remaining in this rainy night.

"Oh, so that's how it is. You chose super-fast regeneration for your fiancée, kid? Looks like I misunderstood you." Wu Li patted her non-existent chest, thinking to herself, "Thank goodness, it seems I was wrong before."

The loser turned out to be married, and even chose the least combat-effective super-speed regeneration for his fiancée. Luckily, he didn't give her the "friend zone" card beforehand, otherwise it would have been too embarrassing if he had just been delusional.

"Senior sister... I..." The loser didn't know how to respond. He didn't know what to say at this moment. He just opened his mouth out of habit and then froze on the spot.

“You don’t need to be embarrassed. Actually, your fiancée and your father-in-law both like you quite a bit. You may not know, but your fiancée secretly keeps your photos and fills her diary with records of being with you, fantasizing about her married life with you after she recovers,” Xue Dinglu said calmly.

A clap of thunder sounded, and the loser froze in the passenger seat.

The two little ones in the back seat pricked up their ears, as eager as seagulls stretching their necks after hearing gossip.

There's no way around it; boys and girls around thirteen or fourteen are most enthusiastic about this kind of thing. Hearing such gossip, especially about their junior brother, can even get them excited to the point of waving their flags.

"I...I rarely see her..." The loser struggled for a long time before finally managing to utter these words, his face flushed.

"So you should visit her more often. Now that you have super-fast regeneration, her condition may improve soon, and you will be able to get married smoothly, instead of being like this, detached from that family, like a family member but also like an outsider."

"Boom!" Lightning flashed like branches in the distance, followed by the sound of thunder.

"Sigh, why don't we go see that child today? We're fellow disciples now, let's go together?" Wu Li suggested, and Yun Xing didn't object.

Only the unlucky guy didn't give a clear answer. He stammered, looking at the rainy scene on the elevated road, and said, "But, won't this trouble the teacher..."

“We can go, the steering wheel is in my hands.” Xue Dinglu smiled behind his sunglasses.

Within his consciousness space, Zero Super Beast seemed to be smiling as well.

The boy was stunned. He hadn't expected his teacher, who was a monarch, to be so interested in his gossip. He was speechless.

However, the unlucky guy couldn't bring himself to refuse in the end. The luxury car drove onto a side road on the elevated highway and onto another elevated road, heading towards the Imperial Hospital.

After the songs on my phone finished playing, it's time for another classic, "I Just Want to Protect You".

The three children couldn't understand the songs Xue Dinglu played, but music transcends national boundaries, languages, and civilizations, and can be felt by all of them.

But suddenly, static crackled through the song, and the whole world seemed to distort in the rainy night.

The three little ones had no idea what was happening; at that moment, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and their faces showed panic.

The teacher's face suddenly changed; bluish veins instantly bulged from the corners of his eyes, like restless snakes, and then tightened, as if red-hot iron had been quenched with ice water.

"Teacher, what's wrong?" asked the girl, Wuli.

The next moment, they felt the sudden braking in horror, along with the earth shaking violently as if the sky were falling and the earth were splitting apart.

The entire viaduct seemed to be trembling. The rain blurred their vision and the sky and earth, but even so, they could see the incredibly terrifying scene ahead of the viaduct.

A 40-meter-tall behemoth suddenly appeared, its giant hand smashing the overpass in front of it, and it came toward them, seemingly targeting the four of them.

Seeing the giant beast's terrifying crimson pupils, like a blood moon in the night, an overwhelming fear suddenly enveloped the three little ones. They clutched their heads in anguish and curled up.

Why would there be a giant beast in the heart of the capital?

They were all stunned, unable to believe it.

With the accelerator floored, the luxury car vibrated as it accelerated dramatically, completing a U-turn and acceleration in an instant.

"Don't be afraid, your teacher is here." Xue Dinglu's voice came, like a hand pulling a drowning person back from the water.

"Fasten your seatbelts!" Xue Luding whispered.

The three children looked up at their teacher, who showed no fear whatsoever. His face was as hard as iron, and his pupils seemed to hold endless rage, making him look like a king.

　3 chapters, one more to go, but I can't keep going today, I have to go to work tomorrow, so I'll have to postpone it... I'm really sorry...
