In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 154 You're just a student, can you shoulder the burden of other people's lives? (4K, please subscribe!)

At 5 p.m., after a day of studying, Su Yuan dismissed all the students.

Only he and Chen Nuoyi remained in the classroom.

"Squad leader, I heard from others that your Chen family has a special bloodline that only awakens after adulthood. Are you aware of this?"

Su Yuan pulled up a chair and sat opposite Chen Nuoyi, asking solemnly.

The girl was slightly taken aback when Su Yuan suddenly asked about this secret that he shouldn't have known.

Then, somewhat embarrassed, she lowered her head and murmured:

"So you already knew... I was originally planning to keep it from you and secretly awaken my bloodline in the suburbs."

"When our family first awakens its bloodline, there may be instances of it going berserk, which can easily injure others."

Su Yuan shook his head and said:

"From what you're saying, awakening your bloodline must be quite dangerous, right?"

"What if we encounter danger without anyone protecting us? You're keeping this from me, that's not very brotherly of you."

He thought for a while and said:
“From now on, I’ll stay by your side every step of the way. Tomorrow I’ll invite Yin Qiyue and a few of my close classmates to celebrate your birthday.”

"After my birthday, I'll happily go and awaken this bloodline."

"Don't worry about me getting hurt after my blood goes berserk. I have powerful backers."

As he spoke, Su Yuan's collar moved, and a small, blood-red snake crawled out from his collar.

It was Bai Ling.

Su Yuan didn't take Bai Ling back because he got home too late yesterday and was worried about disturbing the white-haired loli's sleep.

Now that we need to use Bai Ling again, it's perfect timing.

Hearing Su Yuan's unusually serious tone, the girl felt a warmth in her heart.

She carefully considered the family's records regarding the process of bloodline awakening.

Even if a berserk situation occurs, my strength could never surpass that of Bai Ling, who is at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Therefore, no matter when his bloodline awakens or whether he goes berserk, Su Yuan is safe.

Since that was the case, she had no reason to refuse and nodded.

“Let’s go buy a birthday cake now. I remember Wu Xingqi’s family owns a bakery, so they should have all the ingredients for making a cake. I’ll call her now.”

"Yes, remember to invite Qiqi to your birthday party too."

"It's natural."

As Su Yuan spoke, he took out his phone and dialed Wu Xingqi's number. They settled the matter in just a few words.

When the tanned hottie heard that the cake was made to celebrate Chen Nuoyi's birthday, she immediately gave it to her for free.

The two did not refuse Wu Xingqi's offer, but made an appointment with her to celebrate Chen Nuoyi's birthday together the next afternoon.

Su Yuan then used his connections with a restaurant manager in the part-time worker group to reserve a private room.

After everything was ready, the two went to the school cafeteria and streamed live for more than two hours as usual.

They didn't end their broadcast until nightfall, then strolled through the deserted campus and headed out of the school.

But upon arriving at the school gate, an unexpected yet perfectly logical black high-class airship stopped not far ahead.

This flying boat is a level higher than the Wanxing S-Class that Grandpa Chen rode in last time.

It is the latest S-class Mai Bahe released by Shenchi Sect.

The reason this flying boat is called Mai Ba Crane is because the spirit pet of the Divine Speed ​​Sect Master is a rare species of crane called Mai Ba Crane.

Among all flying mounts, the Crane is among the best, so the name of this flying boat itself carries a sense of luxury.

Not long ago, Mai Bahe, the leader of the Shenchi Sect, passed away.

To commemorate his beloved spirit pet, the Sect Master Shenchi personally oversaw the creation of this limited-edition, ultra-luxurious flying boat based on the Wanxing S-class design.

Its price is naturally skyrocketing compared to the regular Wanxing S-class.

However, for a big shot like Grandpa Chen, price is never an issue as long as something can be bought with money.

It's not surprising that he changed to such a new car.

Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Grandpa Chen said he would only come again when it's time to fill out college application forms, so why did he appear earlier than expected?
The next second, the boat door of the Mai Bahe opened.

But it was the driver's side door that opened.

A well-dressed, impeccably groomed old man with a squinty-eyed, butler-like demeanor appeared before Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi.

"Grandpa Zheng, what brings you here?"

Upon seeing the old butler, a hint of surprise flashed in Chen Nuoyi's beautiful eyes.

“Young Miss, I am here on the orders of the Master to bring you home and protect your safety in awakening your family bloodline.”

The old butler, surnamed Zheng, bowed respectfully to Chen Nuoyi.

He extended his white-gloved hand in a gesture of invitation, and the door to the Maibahe passenger cabin opened, revealing the incomparably luxurious and prestigious genuine leather cabin.

"Grandpa wants me to go back to the family to awaken my bloodline?"

Chen Nuoyi paused slightly, then hesitated.

To be fair, Grandpa's decision to let her go home at this time was definitely for her safety and stemmed from good intentions.

The family does indeed have a lot of equipment and secret methods to help awaken bloodlines, which is obviously much safer and more controllable than relying on oneself to awaken bloodlines outside.

But she had already made an appointment with Su Yuan.

Chen Nuoyi turned to look at Su Yuan, hesitated for a moment, and then solemnly said to the old butler:
"Grandpa Zheng, I'm going to celebrate my birthday with Su Yuan and my friends tomorrow, so I won't be going back yet."

"Please tell my grandfather that I appreciate his kindness."

Butler Zheng's eyes showed a strange look, clearly not expecting to be rejected.

However, the strange look in his eyes quickly disappeared, and he turned to look at the boy next to Chen Nuoyi.

"You must be Su Yuan, young friend. I know you; the young lady trusts you quite a bit."

“Young friend Su Yuan, I have a favor to ask… I wonder if you could persuade the young lady to return to her family and awaken her bloodline? It would be a beneficial and harmless thing.”

"From a friend's perspective, I think you should help persuade them."

After listening to Steward Zheng's sincere words, Su Yuan also began to ponder.

What the other person said was indeed correct; he was a penniless wretch who could do nothing but protect the class monitor.

This kind of bloodline awakening, which is inherently dangerous, is best experienced at home.

But... why does it always feel like something's not right?

Su Yuan glanced at Butler Zheng, then turned to look at Chen Nuoyi, and unleashed his long-unused demonic skill, Fate-Pointing!
Several large, jet-black characters appeared above the girl's head.

[Towards the Demon (Unanswered)]

To the north for the demons?

Upon seeing this somewhat nonsensical fate prediction, a series of question marks popped into Su Yuan's head.

Putting aside the first two words of the verdict, it's clear that the system is slandering him.

So what does "northward" mean?

Does it literally mean heading north?
But... the Chen family's manor isn't in the north; on the contrary, it's directly south of Taihua City.

If the verdict about going north is taken literally, then Chen Nuoyi will not only not return to the Chen family today, but will instead embark on a completely opposite path.

But why?
Why did the squad leader eventually flee the Chen family?

Su Yuan was lost in thought due to his confusion, and the atmosphere became somewhat tense for a moment.

Just then, Su Yuan's phone vibrated slightly in his pocket. He quickly took out his phone and glanced at it, his pupils immediately contracting.

The message on my phone was from Chen Xian, and it was very simple.

"After the young lady returns to the family, she will be granted immortality. Su Yuan, you can decide for yourself."

After reading the brief message, Su Yuan remained silent for a few seconds before replying with only four words.

"Call me the leader."

He put away his phone, turned to look at Chen Nuoyi, and said calmly:

"Squad leader, it seems the Chen family has figured out a way to suppress your bloodline and prevent you from awakening it."

"They're probably lying to you about telling you to go back and awaken your family bloodline."

The girl was taken aback upon hearing this.

She turned to look at the somewhat astonished old butler, her bright, beautiful eyes filled with sadness:

"Grandpa Zheng, were you lying to me just now...? Even you are lying to me?"

"Young Miss, this is a white lie."

After offering a slightly apologetic explanation, Steward Zheng turned to look at Su Yuan and sighed helplessly.

"It seems there's a traitor in the family. Young Master Su Yuan, you've got some tricks up your sleeve."

Su Yuan nodded slightly:

"Thanks for the compliment."

Butler Zheng's expression turned serious as he solemnly said:

"The master has indeed developed a secret method that can suppress the young lady's bloodline, preventing her from awakening."

"Although it would force the young lady to remain in the family to maintain the suppression of her bloodline and prevent her from going to the Ten Greats, it would allow her to achieve immortality."

“Young friend Su Yuan, I don’t care where you got your information about the Chen family bloodline from, but I suppose you should know the dangers of the Chen family bloodline.”

"Once she awakens, the young lady will enter the countdown of her lifespan and follow in the footsteps of her mother and grandmother."

"My husband and I were truly heartbroken that our young lady died so young, so we had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure."

"Romantic feelings are a trivial matter. Young friend Su Yuan, if you truly care about the young lady, you should let go."

Su Yuan raised an eyebrow and sneered:
"It would be a good thing if the squad leader could live forever, but the fact that the Chen family tricked him into returning to the family without telling us outsiders proves that this matter is something that cannot be brought to light."

“You are actually more aware than anyone else that this so-called method of prolonging life has extremely serious side effects.”

"Once it's used, the class monitor probably won't even be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and will only become a mascot locked in a cage."

Butler Zheng snorted coldly and responded indifferently:

"That's still better than dying prematurely more than ten years later."

Su Yuan shook his head:
"Whether it's suppressing the bloodline to prolong life, or awakening the bloodline, or seeking a way to stabilize the bloodline in the process of becoming stronger, neither you nor I can decide."

"It all depends on the squad leader's opinion."

After saying that, Su Yuan turned to look at Chen Nuoyi:
"Squad leader, do you want to accept the Chen family's arrangement for you?"

"I do not accept."

Without hesitation, under the incredulous gaze of Butler Zheng, Chen Nuoyi gave a resolute answer:

"I am a cultivator. Rather than living a life of mere survival locked in a cage, I would rather climb to the pinnacle of immortality, a path that ordinary people have never seen."

"It is indeed very, very difficult to break the curse of bloodline. It was so difficult that my mother, my maternal grandmother, and the ancestors of the Chen family all failed."

"But it is precisely because they failed that I should inherit their legacy, catch up with them, completely break the limitations of bloodline, and never repeat this cycle of despair again."

Hearing Chen Nuoyi's firm and powerful words, Butler Zheng became so anxious that he disregarded etiquette:
"Young Miss! You can't do it!"

“I’ve heard the same things from your mother and your grandmother, but they both failed!”

"You will fail too, you will definitely fail! So give up this unrealistic idea and come back with me, okay?"

The girl shook her head again, the determination in her beautiful eyes not diminishing in the slightest because of this denial.

And at that moment, Su Yuan's calm voice rang out:
"I don't know what the bloodline restrictions of the Chen family are, nor do I know how difficult it is to break them."

"However, I can guarantee that even if the class monitor fails to break the bloodline barrier, I will cover for her."

"So, old butler, please stop meddling in other people's business, okay? I really don't want to hear your disgustingly decadent remarks anymore."

"you?"

Butler Zheng suddenly turned his head, and his gaze toward Su Yuan had turned icy.

"You said you'd cover for the young lady?"

"How much determination did you have when you said that?"

"You're just a student, how can you shoulder the burden of other people's lives?"

With each word spoken, Steward Zheng's tone grew increasingly stern, and a terrifying sense of oppression, befitting a Foundation Establishment cultivator, pressed down on Su Yuan like a tsunami.

Faced with this terrifying pressure, Su Yuan did not back down an inch, calmly looking at the old steward.

After a few seconds of stalemate, the latter suddenly withdrew his oppressive aura and let out a cold snort:
"Enough, there's no point in arguing with a student like you. Whether the young lady likes it or not, I will take her away today."

After saying that, he ignored Su Yuan and reached out to grab Chen Nuoyi.

Under the pressure of a peak Foundation Establishment expert, the girl was almost unable to move.

But at that very moment, a beam of blood-red light shot out from Su Yuan's sleeve like lightning, striking towards Steward Zheng's outstretched hand.

The speed of this blood-red light was so fast that it almost exceeded the visual limit of a Qi Refining cultivator.

Even though Steward Zheng, who was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, reacted instantly and began to withdraw his attack, he was still grazed by the bloody light.

A bloody welt appeared on the back of his hand, extremely conspicuous.

"what?"

Butler Zheng looked at the blood-red light that had fallen to the ground, poised to strike, with some astonishment.

It’s Bai Ling!

Steward Zheng clearly did not recognize this suddenly appearing demon king at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, he could clearly sense Bai Ling's hostility towards him, as well as Bai Ling's combat power, which far exceeded that of a typical Foundation Establishment Peak Demon King.

If not careful, even Butler Zheng could fall into the trap.

"I'm sorry, but the class monitor is the vice leader of my Yuan Sect. I won't let her be taken away and crippled by the Chen family like this."

Su Yuan spoke casually, pulling Chen Nuoyi onto the Maiba Crane.

After sitting in the driver's seat, closing the car door, and fastening his seatbelt, Su Yuan rolled down the window and spoke to Butler Zheng, who was still confronting Bai Ling and dared not look away for a moment.

"By the way, Bai Ling is the spirit pet of Master Taibai. I don't care if you can beat him or not, if you dare to hurt Bai Ling, you'll be in big trouble."

After saying that, under the almost murderous gaze of Butler Zheng, Su Yuan smiled and rolled up the car window.

Then, sitting in the driver's seat, Su Yuan looked at the colorful and luxurious interior in front of him and was momentarily at a loss.

Speaking of which, you need a driver's license to fly a spaceship...

"Squad leader, do you have a driver's license?"

Su Yuan looked somewhat embarrassed at the girl sitting in the passenger seat, her bright, starry eyes fixed on him, and asked cautiously.

Chen Nuoyi: "..."

Hey! Can you please not mess things up at your most handsome moment? The whole thing fell apart!
