Unknown Intrusion

Chapter 72 Bloodline Disease
"You have a photographic memory?" Li Ningzhuang asked thoughtfully as he continued flipping through the book.

"No, this is just a learning method."

Su Yu casually remarked, "There are two methods to learning: specialization and broad reading."

"I am the second type."

"The methodology of extensive reading is to first establish an overall outline of knowledge, then identify the internal connections, and determine the primary and secondary aspects."

"When I browse through materials, I first create a file and a table of contents, and then decide what to read in detail!"

“But you only have 24 hours,” Li Ningzhuang thought, and felt that there was some truth to it, but couldn’t help but refute it.

“There will always be opportunities in the future. Besides, in just 24 hours, you can only build an outline of knowledge through extensive reading, and how many pages can you read in detail?” Su Yu asked rhetorically.

“What Su said makes sense; even if it’s false, she can still come up with a convincing argument.”

Li Ningzhuang thought it made sense, but at the same time felt he was talking nonsense. She smiled, said this meaningfully, and then said nothing more.

Originally, giving the boy 24 hours was his own decision, which was equivalent to an investment. How to utilize it was up to Su Yu.

However, the importance of human relationships must be emphasized.

Besides, even if it's highly unlikely that I have a photographic memory, it doesn't matter; it won't affect anything.

Because Su Yu did indeed receive it.

Su Yu stopped reading, glanced at her, and seemed to be deep in thought.

Li Ningzhuang only said that she was Song Qiongyao's aunt and didn't say anything else. This attitude made Su Yu think more.

Even Song Shuying was never so "arrogant" when she met him.

This woman appeared in his previous life and was a key figure in it.

Whether in the past life or in this moment, it is shrouded in mystery, and this mysterious demeanor does not seem to be deliberately mystifying.

It's more like a habit.

The fact that this woman could develop such a habit suggests that her background is probably quite extraordinary.

"Are you curious about my background?" Li Ningzhuang asked with a smile.

Su Yu nodded frankly: "I am very curious."

During her conversation with Su Yu, she had already developed a fondness for his talent, and now she was even more determined to recruit him.

However, the faction she belongs to is not an organization that is easy to enter.

Even if she were to recruit him out of a desire to recognize his talent, and even if he were to marry Song Qiongyao, it wouldn't be an easy task for him to gain entry.

But that doesn't stop Li Ningzhuang from introducing herself.

"I currently work at the White Tower."

"The White Pagoda?"

"Yes, you are very talented and have a good chance of getting in. I hope to see you in the future!" Li Ningzhuang smiled gently and said no more.

Su Yu repeated the word. It was a mysterious force. He wondered which force was stronger, the Green Vine Society or the Green Vine Society.
But when he tried to ask again, the woman had vanished without a trace.

Su Yu was secretly horrified. It was understandable that he hadn't noticed when she arrived, but it was a little scary that he hadn't noticed her leaving in front of him at all.

Is it a spell?
Su Yu looked around with a solemn expression. He had been repeatedly reflecting on his memories of his life as a native. To be honest, apart from the curfew and the "accidents" that he had been trying to prevent but never completely prevented, this society was similar to his previous life—most people were working hard to make a living!
But Su Yu tasted the sweetness of being a "gifted person" and kept moving upwards, leaving his peers behind, and his life became more and more different.

Being a top student and a prospective professional are prestigious titles, but judging from Li Ningzhuang's attitude, she does value herself quite a bit, but this valuing doesn't reach a higher level.

This shows that in this county, he is indeed a rare gifted individual. But in the wider world, gifted individuals like him are probably not so rare.

The current level is still not enough compared to my ambitions.

We must not get complacent; we must work even harder to succeed!
Only by constantly improving one's talent and strength, and never letting up, can one avoid becoming a "Zhong Yong" (a child prodigy who failed to live up to his potential).

Although becoming a "Zhong Yong" already surpasses most people, he hopes to go further and stand higher.

After glancing once more at the spot where Li Ningzhuang had disappeared, Su Yu returned to his book and continued browsing the books on the second floor.

"Aunt, have you seen Su Yu?" Entering the room, one is immediately struck by its spaciousness; it's a reception room with sofas, a small table, and a wine rack.
The sofa had soft cushions, and Song Qiongyao sat on it, holding her milk tea and taking a satisfied and comfortable sip.

A maid was serving, and on the small table were a pure silver teapot, a silver sugar bowl, a silver milk jug, teacups, silver saucers, silver teaspoons, a silver dessert plate, a silver kettle, a silver tea tray, a silver tea strainer, and a silver cake fork.

This is the basic configuration for snacks and tea.

"Feels good, has great talent, and a good personality."

Li Ningzhuang also took a sip, waved the maid away, and after she left, she shook her head slightly and said, "Qiongyao, although we shouldn't place our hopes on an outsider, I think Su Yu is indeed acceptable. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Song Qiongyao couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

She lowered her head slightly, and two cat-like ears peeked out from her black hair, twitching slightly.

Under the light of the oil lamp, her skin seemed to shimmer with a faint glow.

This light is not the light of normal fair skin.

However, this unusual fluorescence disappeared in just a moment.

However, the cat ears were still trembling slightly in her hair, revealing that the owner of the cat ears was not quite at ease at the moment.

"Aunt, I haven't thought it through yet," Song Qiongyao answered honestly, her expression somewhat dazed. "After all, I'm the sacrifice."

"Although I don't hate my mother, I don't want my child to suffer like this!"

"Furthermore, I don't want such considerations to get mixed up between him and me."

This choice was very important to her.

It concerns not only her future, but also her life.

Song Qiongyao has a mysterious lineage, partly from her father's side, but mainly inherited from the Li family.

“Qiong Yao, I understand your feelings, but you should understand that the Li family’s bloodline is very special and is cursed.” Li Ningzhuang looked at her gently after hearing this: “Of course, curse and blessing are essentially the same thing.”

"First, once your bloodline is activated, you will gain inspiration, and you will see or feel many things that you shouldn't see during your growth."

"You should know that when you see it, it sees you at the same time, so it can be very dangerous, especially when you are a young child."

"Secondly, it will slowly improve your talent. The Li family has produced many strong individuals, but now, there are fewer and fewer family members."

Li Ningzhuang's smile had faded: "It has a side effect, which is that the more you grow, the stronger your talent becomes, but at the same time, you will see more and more..."

"...This is why many members of the Li family have short lifespans, or even go insane."

"Therefore you must become a professional. Only a professional's mindset and strength can help you get through the first hurdle."

"Furthermore, even if your bloodline is sealed, as you get closer to 16 years old, the bloodline disease will become more and more serious, which will reduce your chances of survival."

"Even with suppression, it's difficult to live past 18!"
