Unknown Intrusion

Chapter 50 Delivery
However, Su Yu couldn't place all his hopes on Xu Cheng. Even with the intelligence gathered by the Night Watchmen, he was still a little uneasy.

The Song family also needs to be dealt with again.

A venomous snake has been spotted hiding nearby. If it is not caught and eliminated in time, it could easily bite you.

The centipede is dead but not stiff.

For Su Yu, who has not yet matured, who knows how many things his boss, who has been eyeing the Song family for who knows how long, has done in secret?
Even a cornered dog will jump over a wall, let alone a person like this.
"The Song family..."

"If I want the Song family to believe me, I need to offer something more and increase my bargaining power."

“A noble family like the Song family would not easily make an enemy of a force that possesses secret techniques just because their daughter favors someone.”

"Unless the Song family discovers that this organization is also targeting them."

He can't say he has absolutely no such evidence.

However, more conclusive evidence is needed to convince Song Qiongyao's father and get him to take immediate action.

His father's safety was also an urgent matter that needed to be addressed.

This matter also requires gaining the trust of Song Qiongyao's father.

Thinking of this, Su Yu suddenly turned cold: "Xu Cheng, I have already shown goodwill. If you still lie to me about this... then don't blame me!"

Without a word, he lit the gas lamp, adjusted the wick to the appropriate position, and the bright candlelight shone on the table.

"Knowledge."

Su Yu sighed softly, sat down in front of the pile of books, and gently picked out the school history. The pages were slightly yellowed, the words were rather unfamiliar, and some parts were not easy to read.

It roughly records the history of the school since its founding, major events, important figures...

"Schools originated from sages and virtuous men; unsurprisingly, they are disseminators of knowledge!"

"No, not just disseminators, but also controllers." Su Yu recalled Mr. Cheng's reminder when he picked up the textbook; those words were stained with blood.

Su Yu shook his head, deciding to put this matter aside for now; it was too heavy a topic.

Sages, indeed, seem to carry a somewhat deified aura in this world…

Many prayers and even oaths are addressed not to gods but to sages, or even to local governments and guilds. Why is this?

He was confused, but he didn't say anything.

Putting aside the school history, Su Yu took a deep breath. Studying normally step by step was too slow; he needed to use some cheat codes.

"System, enter!"

"A grand dream spanning millennia, unaware that one is merely a guest."

A faint white light appeared, and the light curtain gradually spread outward, rippling in the air. As it passed the porch, two lanterns hanging on the porch suddenly burst into flame.

The warm and gentle light dispelled the chill and darkness, illuminating the courtyard.

Su Yu looked around. Indeed, it was a two-bedroom, one-living room, one-bathroom, and one-kitchen house, which was his home before he transmigrated to this world.

I turned around and looked at the bookshelf. It was empty before, with only a few booklets left, two of which were covered in metal—a book on fitness exercises and a book on basic meditation.

Now, a few more books have been published.

*Collected Essays of Sages*, *A Thousand-Year History of Schools of Thought*, *37 Fundamental Principles of Meditation*, *Basic Language of Spells*, *Basic Herbal Identification*, *When Evil Spirits Knock on the Door*, *Teaching You to Identify Dark Forces*, *Wild Dark Life*, *A Thousand Questions for Apprentices' Employment Guide*, *General Knowledge of Magic*, *Advanced Numbers and Models*

"They're all made of copper, representing advanced knowledge, and we brought them all in!"

Su Yu casually picked up "37 Basic Principles of Meditation" and skimmed through it.

When it came to that part, I immediately felt overwhelmed.

Even Su Yu found it quite difficult to understand.

A few seconds later, a faint, clear light appeared before my eyes, with a phantom image within it, resembling a semi-transparent light curtain.

"This is professional knowledge. Should I consume both Ash and Ash Crystals?"

"Please note that the current gray crystal level is too low and can only support three hours."

"no!"

So, ash is acceleration, and gray crystals are learning energy?
Theoretical knowledge is necessary, but not now. Su Yu turned his gaze and saw something.

Basic Meditation (75%)

Without the slightest hesitation, I pressed it down deeply.

Beneath the golden hourglass, the ash diminished; the gray crystals didn't just evaporate slightly, they vanished entirely. Then, a notification appeared: "Insufficient resources; can only maintain maximum meditation for two hours!"

"Last time it increased by 20%, this time it might be about the same, not enough, but not far off!" Su Yu closed his eyes and entered meditation.

As dusk fell, a doorbell rang downstairs; someone had rung it.

Su Yu was immediately startled awake, only to find that he had fallen asleep on the table without realizing it.

"They must be Xu Cheng's men!"

The IOU was returned so quickly?

Su Yu got up, pushed open the door to her room, and ran down the stairs to the door.

I happened to see my mother still wearing her apron, peering through the door to see who was outside.

Hearing footsteps, his mother turned to look at him, her expression carrying a wariness that was both unfamiliar and familiar to Su Yu.

He had actually seen that look in his eyes before he awakened.

But at that time, unaware of the truth, even if he saw his mother's gaze, he wouldn't understand what it meant.

Now he understood perfectly well that his mother had shown this expression because she knew the people from the Flying Whale Flag had arrived, and it was just the two of them at home.

They were worried that outsiders would harm them, and they were also worried that Su Yu would be frightened if she found out about this.

"Mom, is someone outside?" Su Yu pretended not to know, walked over, and asked in a low voice.

Mom nodded, but didn't answer immediately.

After a while, there was still no sound outside.

She then spoke, saying, "Someone knocked on the door and told me that something had been delivered and put in a box outside the door, and that I should go and get it myself."

She hesitated and didn't continue.

Logically speaking, since everyone is preparing dinner, no one should be visiting. Even if someone comes to deliver something, it's usually before sunset, or even around noon.

Furthermore, this time the visitor only confirmed that someone was in the house before leaving the things and departing.

The messenger preferred to hand the item directly to the customer to avoid any disputes.

Knowing someone was there, yet directly dropping the package into the box outside the door without giving any explanation, is rather strange.

As Su Yu listened to her mother speaking softly, she became certain that the person who delivered the items was probably not Xu Cheng, but someone from the Flying Whale Flag.

In matters like lending, the people responsible for returning the IOU are usually ordinary members.

Flying Whale Flag has both laundered its money and is now engaged in "legal" lending business.

Once someone helps redeem the IOU, it will naturally be returned.

Although the boss wanted to do something to him, the boss was not a direct member of the Flying Whale Flag team—the senior and middle-level cadres of the Flying Whale Flag team were almost all hereditary, leaving no room for outsiders.

Even if the boss joins in and spends twenty years working his way up from a low-level employee to a manager, he will still only be a junior manager.

Therefore, the boss cannot join, so Xu Cheng is the only option.

Besides, who doesn't know that the Night's Watch is also keeping an eye on the Whale Banner?

There should be no ulterior motive in returning the IOU this time.

Su Yu said, "Mom, it's evening now. The person who delivered the package probably had an emergency and left early. Why don't I go out and see what they delivered?"

This is a reminder to the mother that Feijingqi dares not do anything in the residential area, and although it is dark at this time, the community is relatively safe, and she should not go out until later at night.

You can still take it now, otherwise you'll have to wait until tomorrow.

After listening, Mom nodded and said, "You're right."

With caution, she opened the door from the inside. The room was empty; there was indeed no one there.

Su Yu stood to the side, glanced outside, and didn't notice anything amiss.

"Mom, you wash the dishes first, I'll go check on them!" Su Yu said, and walked out.

The drop box was right next to the door; it was a small box that looked a bit like an artificial bird's nest, and it was hanging on the wall.

There is a small sliding door that anyone can push and pull open.
