Who says I can't become a Grand Master?

Chapter 182 Lovers End Up as Siblings (By the way, Chapter 182 is banned and is being revised)

Su Nianxi was startled when she suddenly saw her mother faint.

"Mom? Mom!"

She quickly got up to help him.

A kind customer in the shop put down his cup and quickly came over to help.

But what was unexpected was—

Su Qiuyue, who was fiercely competitive all her life, suddenly regained her senses the moment she hit her forehead and broke her skin.

At the same time, the demonic energy within her body suddenly surged violently.

Bright magical circuits appeared on her fair skin, like countless fine blue lines crawling all over her body.

Immediately afterwards, a ring of magical energy storms suddenly exploded around her!

The magic storm, like a raging tornado, instantly swept through the entire coffee shop.

Tables, chairs, coffee cups, plates, decorative paintings—all the clutter seemed to lose their gravity and spun wildly in the air.

The surrounding glass windows shattered with a deafening roar, and the shards were swept inside by the storm before they could even scatter.

The icy rain tried to pour in, but was forced back by the magic storm, forming a strange water curtain outside the window.

The café owner and several customers were all pressed tightly against the wall under the terrifying pressure of the magic storm, unable to move and even struggling to breathe.

Today is a day that is both tragic and joyful.

Sadly, a pair of star-crossed lovers are about to be separated.

The good news is that Green Island City has gained another [Grand Witch of the Palace].

That's right!

In the midst of that extreme sorrow and shock, Su Qiuyue broke through her limits and ascended to the [Transcendent] realm.

She became a true [Grand Witch of the Palace].

However, even though she had evolved into a mythical creature, Su Qiuyue still couldn't escape worrying about her daughter.

She stood up straight, her eyes gleaming with a dazzling light.

He radiated a light that mortals could not look directly at, like a god descending from the heavens.

She continued to clutch her aching stomach, took a few steps closer to her daughter, and placed her hand on Su Nianxi's shoulder.

"Since it's already done—there's no going back. But there's one thing you must do immediately. Go to the hospital right now; you absolutely cannot let the baby be born."

Su Nianxi was stunned.

She first stared wide-eyed in confusion at the magical circuits around her mother, feeling the suffocating pressure emanating from them.

My mom got promoted at this time?

Then, an even greater doubt arose in her mind.

After her mother was promoted to the rank of [Grand Witch], the first thing she worried about was this?

What secret is hidden here?

Su Nianxi picked up a wet wipe from the dining table and gently wiped the bloodstains from her mother's forehead.

She lowered her head with some remorse and finally admitted honestly, "Mom—I lied to you just now."

"You lied to me? Where did you lie to me?" Su Qiuyue quickly asked, her voice tinged with urgency.

"I just lay on my brother's bed and chatted for a while."

Su Nianxi whispered, "My brother is a very good person. He never intended to bully me."

Su Qiuyue suddenly felt a sense of relief, and her whole body relaxed.

"So—" she took a deep breath, "you didn't do it at all, right?"

"Um!"

Su Nianxi nodded.

"That's good—" Su Qiuyue finally felt relieved.

As her body relaxed, the emerging magical circuits began to stabilize and gradually disappeared beneath her skin.

The magical storm around him finally stopped, and the debris that had been floating on the ceiling fell down, making a series of ping-pong sounds.

The shop owner and customers who had been squeezed against the wall also slid down, temporarily losing consciousness in the storm of magic energy.

Su Qiuyue then reached out and pressed her hands heavily on her daughter's shoulders, "You must never see Zhang Qingzhe again."

She looked tired, yet unusually serious. "I'm afraid you might actually do that kind of thing."

Su Nianxi frowned, her delicate brows furrowing, her eyes radiating a determined light.

"Then Mom, please tell me the reason, otherwise I will never give up on my brother."

Su Qiuyue gritted her teeth.

That usually aloof and powerful woman's face was now contorted with worry.

After a long silence, she finally made up her mind, "Okay."

She released her grip on her daughter's shoulder and casually sat down on a broken chair: "You and I are really alike, both of us are the type who won't turn back until we hit a wall."

The rain was still falling outside the window, and through the broken glass, I could hear the sound of raindrops hitting the windowsill.

"If you really want to know, then I'll tell you the answer, but you'd better be mentally prepared, because this will definitely change your life," Su Qiuyue said solemnly.

Su Nianxi took a deep breath.

She felt her heart rate suddenly spike, pounding against her chest.

A strong thought suddenly arose in my subconscious—I wanted to just cover my ears and run away.

I don't want to seek that terrible answer anymore.

She had a very ominous premonition that once she heard that answer, nothing good would ever happen to her again.

The coffee shop was a mess.

The guests and the owner were all stunned by the magic storm and lay sprawled on the floor.

Tables and chairs were broken into pieces and scattered everywhere, and brown liquid flowed all over the ground.

The decorative paintings on the wall were hanging crookedly, and some had fallen down and broken in half.

The entire café looked like a post-apocalyptic ruin.

Outside the window, the wind and rain continued to rage.

Thunderclaps boomed in the distance, and lightning repeatedly tore through the gloomy sky, illuminating the ruined café in a stark white light.

A cold wind, carrying icy raindrops, swept in through the broken window and splashed onto the faces of the mother and daughter.

Rainwater slid down Su Nianxi's cheeks, indistinguishable between rain and tears.

Although Su Qiuyue has been promoted to the rank of [Grand Witch of the Palace], it seems that this power is not enough for her to easily reveal that secret.

She tried many times, her lips trembling, but no sound came out.

Finally, she opened her mouth: "Zhang Qingzhe—is your brother."

Su Nianxi was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile.

"Yes, I've always called him brother, and he really is the right person to be an older brother."

Su Qiuyue shook her head heavily. "What I mean is—"

She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and used all her strength to say, "He is your blood brother."

"What?"

Su Nianxi's eyes widened suddenly.

Just then—

A thunderclap exploded outside the window.

The blinding flash of lightning illuminated the entire café, turning the faces of the mother and daughter deathly pale.

Su Nianxi stared wide-eyed, but her pupils were empty and unfocused.

Her brain seemed to freeze, remaining blank for a long time before finally starting to function again.

"What... what on earth is going on?"

Her voice trembled violently, "How could he be my brother? Could it be—that our fathers are the same person?"

This was the only possibility she could think of.

But Su Qiuyue closed her eyes in pain and gently shook her head, "That's not how it is."

"So what exactly happened?"

"Sigh!" Su Qiuyue bit her lip hard, blood seeping from the wound again. "Your father—is actually his mother?"

"ah?!"

Su Nianxi was even more confused.

She couldn't understand what that sentence meant at all.

"What's going on? I don't understand!"

Su Nianxi shook her head frantically, her brain feeling like it had been hit hard with a hammer.

"Could it be—Aunt Zhang Qingxi, was she a man before?"

Su Qiuyue shook her head again.

"No, she was born a witch, and a very beautiful and very talented one at that."

"So, Mom, were you a man before? Were you a half-witch who transformed?"

"No. My mother is also a pure-blooded witch."

Her eyes became somewhat unfocused, as if lost in distant memories. "We've known each other since we were very, very young. I've always—very much liked her."

"Wait, wait a minute."

Su Nianxi reached out a hand, interrupting her mother's reminiscence.

Her mind was a complete mess, and she couldn't hear anything else.

"I don't want to hear who you like, I just want to know—why is my father a woman?"

Su Qiuyue opened her mouth, trying to say something.

But those words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't get them out.

Her face turned bright red; she was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground.

Su Nianxi slapped her head hard, trying to sort out the relationship between them.

Then, something else suddenly occurred to her, and she asked with a hint of fear, "Then—what about Zhang Lingyue? What is our relationship?"

Su Qiuyue felt even more embarrassed.

She frantically grabbed at her meticulously styled long, wavy hair, struggling like a trapped animal for a while before finally answering helplessly, "I am actually—Zhang Lingyue's father."

"What?!"

Su Nianxi's eyes widened even more, almost as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.

She is completely unable to comprehend the situation at hand.

It's like a caveman who was suddenly abducted by an alien spaceship.

Then the Grand Unified Theory was forcibly implanted into my brain.

Her eyes, though wide open, were blank and devoid of any thought.

After a long pause, she finally spoke: "So—you're my mother, and Aunt Zhang is my father. At the same time, you're also Zhang Lingyue's father, and Aunt Zhang is Zhang Lingyue's mother?"

Yes, that's right.

Su Nianxi paused, swallowing hard. "So, Zhang Lingyue and I—are actually half-sisters?"

"That's right—you can understand it that way."

Su Qiuyue covered her face with her hands, her voice muffled as it came through her fingers, no longer displaying the arrogance of her former strong woman.

"So that means—Aunt Zhang is Zhang Qingzhe's mother, and also my father. Zhang Qingzhe and I are fifty percent related by blood?"

"Yes."

Su Qiuyue's voice was filled with deep guilt, "Therefore, the two of you absolutely cannot do that kind of thing, because you are blood-related siblings."

Su Nianxi suddenly felt her legs go weak.

She plopped down in the pile of debris, splinters of wood and shards of glass piercing her skin, but she felt no pain at all.

She gripped her hair tightly, tearing out several strands of her usually carefully maintained hair.

"How could this happen—what on earth is going on—?"

At this moment—

Su Qiuyue could no longer suppress her emotions.

She covered her face with her hands and began to sob, looking as helpless as a little girl.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault—I was too young back then—I'm the one who ruined you all—"

She sobbed loudly, her shoulders trembling violently.

"Don't hate your father—she actually—has no idea you exist—"

Su Nianxi took a deep breath of the cool, damp air.

Whether it was tears or rain, it kept dripping down her chin.

She remained silent for a long time, then raised her head and looked at her weeping mother with a complex expression.

"Mother!"

Su Nianxi's voice was soft, yet sharp as a knife.

"Even though you keep saying you hate Aunt Zhang, deep down—don't you still like her?"

"Hmm!"

"What exactly is your relationship with those two?"

Su Qiuyue suddenly raised her head.

Scalding tears mingled with icy rain, crisscrossing her face and ruining her makeup.

"Me? I————"

She opened her mouth.

But he couldn't say anything.

three days later.

Green Island University Affiliated High School.

As an elite school in Green Island City, students who can enter this school are either outstanding in academics or come from wealthy families.

The red brick teaching building was bathed in the afternoon sun. The mottled brick seams were covered with traces of time, yet they shone with a warm light under the sun.

The lawn on the playground was neatly trimmed; when the wind blew, the tips of the grass swayed gently, like a soft green velvet carpet.

On the playground, several boys were playing basketball. The sound of their shoes rubbing against the ground mixed with shouts, drifting in the tense air.

Everything looked so orderly.

It was as if nothing had happened.

In a classroom of the senior year of high school.

The teacher on the podium was giving a passionate lecture, writing and drawing on the blackboard with chalk in hand, reminding everyone of the precautions they might encounter during the college entrance examination.

Sunlight streamed through the window, casting patches of light on the floor.

Zhang Lingyue sat in the back row by the window.

But she wouldn't listen at all.

She would occasionally turn her head to glance at the empty seat next to her.

That used to be Su Nianxi's seat.

Since that morning, Su Nianxi has never come to school again.

Zhang Lingyue felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on her heart.

What exactly happened?

Will something happen to that guy?

The bell finally rang, signaling the end of get out of class.

As soon as the teacher stepped out of the classroom, a group of boys immediately surrounded her.

"Suzue, may I borrow your notebook?"

"Lingyue, are you free after school? A new bubble tea shop just opened—"

"Rinzuki, I bought your favorite chocolate!"

Among the boys who gathered around, there were many wealthy young men from well-off families, as well as handsome, athletic guys.

Without exception, they all wanted to be Zhang Lingyue's lapdogs.

However, Zhang Lingyue had absolutely no interest in them.

She just found these boys a bit annoying and childish.

Compared to her brother, she's far inferior.
