This is as absurd as asking a peerless swordsman how to reach the pinnacle of skill, and after thinking for a long time, the other party tells you to drink more hot water!
"What's wrong?" the black-haired boy asked curiously.
Kaguya Shinomiya silently brought the teacup to her lips and took a sip.
"...It's nothing, thank you for your hard work."
Li Qingyang casually changed the subject, "Speaking of which, don't you have school today?"
Upon hearing this, Kaguya Shinomiya put down her teacup, her tone returning to its usual coldness.
"It's been a long time since I've been to school."
She looked up at the neatly manicured courtyard outside the window. "Shuchiin Academy was severely damaged in the previous monster attack disaster and is still under reconstruction."
"Currently, she is receiving tutoring at home from a private tutor."
Li Qingyang picked up a fried egg with his fork, somewhat surprised: "Then why not transfer schools?"
With the Shinomiya family's wealth, securing a place at any top school in Japan shouldn't be difficult.
This question seemed to touch on something, and Kaguya Shinomiya lowered her gaze to the plate in front of her, her voice also becoming softer, "The Shinomiya family has its own rules."
"Transferring schools is not a decision I can make."
"Shuchiin is more than just a school; it's also a crucial place for the Shinomiya family to maintain its connections. Until it's fully restored, as the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, I can't go anywhere..."
Li Qingyang was speechless.
The Shinomiya family's darkness, isn't it?

Bringing this up shows you really don't take your Mother Earth seriously.
"If you have any thoughts, just tell your family directly," Li Qingyang advised kindly.
"Whether you transfer schools or not, it's your own business. You're the Earth Spirit's officially recognized daughter, after all. It was one thing if you didn't know before, but now that you do, shouldn't you have some self-awareness as the chosen one? Why do you still care about those family rules and regulations? If the little ghost girl finds out you're holding back your grievances, it's hard to say whether the Shinomiya family will still exist."
Kaguya Shinomiya paused slightly in the hand holding her teacup.
The chosen one's...self-awareness?
This word, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirred up a tidal wave in her mind.
From childhood, she was instilled with the awareness of being the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family and the awareness of being the heir to the family.
Every action and every decision must be based on the highest principle of the family's interests.
She was used to using all her cunning to scheme and plot within the framework of the rules in order to achieve her insignificant goals.
Should I just say it directly?
Should I go directly to my father and those people and tell them what's on my mind?
She had never even considered such a thought.
That was foolish, reckless, and self-humiliating.
In the Shinomiya family's survival rules, this was tantamount to courting death.
But......
Ryukizaki I Erbashi_/Q*-un Chosen One......
Her little girl mother is the planet itself.
This realization overturned everything she had built up over the past decade.
Hayasaka Ai, standing to the side, also digested this astonishing fact that had only been revealed not long ago, a barely perceptible ripple flashing in her sea-blue eyes.
She knew better than anyone else Kaguya's situation in the Shinomiya family—a magnificent cage made of gold thread and shackles.
Lord Qingyang's words were simple and blunt, yet they were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into the keyhole of that cage.
Yes, the young lady's mistress is Mother Earth... No matter how powerful the Shinomiya family is, can they be more powerful than Earth?
No wonder Shinomiya Hikari has been silent for so long.
So they've become enemies of Mother Earth...
He dared not imagine how desperate his life must have become after she spoke to the mistress.
Kaguya Shinomiya remained silent, her dark red pupils flickering with light, revealing no emotion.
She looked down at her blurry reflection on the surface of the red tea.
After a long while, she finally raised her head again and looked at Li Qingyang, her cold, dark red eyes revealing a resolute look.
"I see."
"..."
Why did I suddenly get a vegetarian face?
Li Qingyang ate his meat silently.
He must not be eating enough meat; he should eat more.

(Setting out the bowls~)
Main text: Chapter 140 The Sage's Thoughts; Eriri explodes: Ugh! How could I be so unlucky!
The sky was bright.
Above Chiba Prefecture, a silvery-white streak, almost invisible to the naked eye, silently tore through the sea of clouds, plummeting vertically along a trajectory that defied the laws of physics, and finally dissipating gently on the rooftop of an apartment building.
As the light faded, the figures of a person and a dog appeared in the spot.
The black-haired boy, returning to Chiba from the Shinomiya Villa, stretched, his joints making a series of subtle popping sounds.
The little yellow dog following at his feet sniffed the damp morning air on the rooftop, then hopped and skipped to the rooftop entrance, turned back to look at him, and grinned with its tongue sticking out.
Li Qingyang felt a sense of fullness and strength in his muscles after extreme training and subsequent light repair, and he was in a very good mood.
The heavy barbells prepared by the Shinomiya family were indeed impressive, finally giving him a thoroughly enjoyable training experience.
However, after taking a small taste, he checked the time and figured that the Kato family should all be up by now. So he decided to return to Chiba, said goodbye to Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka, and took his dog son back to Chiba temporarily, planning to visit the Kato family.
The Kato family was truly kind to him; their pure and selfless kindness was the first warmth he felt in this unfamiliar world.
Mrs. Kato, in particular, would fill his bowl to overflowing with rice, as if afraid he wouldn't have enough to eat.
As the saying goes, when you are well-fed and warmly clothed, you should be grateful and repay kindness. The kindness of a meal should never be forgotten!
He remembered this favor.
He kept this profound favor firmly in his heart.
If someone disappears without a word all day, not answering calls or replying to messages, it's only right and proper for them to visit immediately, let the other person know they're safe, and avoid causing unnecessary worry.
A close neighbor is worse than a distant relative; if someone treats you with respect, you can't afford to be indifferent.
He led Gedi down the stairs from the rooftop back to their floor.
He paused as he stepped out of the safety passage, which was filled with the smell of rust.
At the end of the corridor, next to the door of his own apartment, a familiar figure was quietly leaning against the wall.
The girl was wearing a brand-new Soubu High School uniform, and her chestnut-colored bob hair shone softly in the morning light streaming through the corridor windows.
She was looking down, intently at her phone screen, as serene as a painting.
Seemingly hearing footsteps, the girl looked up. When she saw that it was Li Qingyang, a visible joy instantly appeared in her usually calm and beautiful eyes.
She put away her phone, turned around and looked at him, her face bearing her usual gentle smile.
“Li-kun, you’re back,” Kato Megumi said softly, her tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible relief. “I haven’t seen you all day, and your mother was very worried about you.”
Li Qingyang's gaze fell on her new uniform.
The dark-colored suit jacket was well-tailored with smooth lines, fitting snugly around the girl's slender upper body, perfectly revealing her soft shoulder line and her incredibly thin waist.
A pure white shirt peeks out from under the coat, and at the collar, a bright red ribbon is tied into a pretty bow, resting peacefully on the plain background, like a red butterfly resting on the snow, adding just the right amount of brightness and liveliness to this neat and serious school uniform.
As my gaze shifted downwards, the dark plaid pleated skirt stopped perfectly at her knees. As she straightened up, the pleats rippled with subtle curves, making her legs, clad in black stockings, appear even straighter and longer. Her brown leather shoes were polished to a shine, reflecting the soft morning light.
"I'm sorry," Li Qingyang finished silently appreciating the youthful beauty, then smiled gently, "I had some urgent business in Tokyo and left in a hurry, so I forgot to tell you."
"The uniforms from Soubu High School have been issued. They suit you very well and look great," he exclaimed sincerely.
Kato Megumi was slightly taken aback, blinking her beautiful eyes as if she hadn't expected him to praise her so directly.
She subconsciously pursed her lips slightly, a faint blush flashing across her cheeks, but she quickly regained her signature calm.
"Really? Thank you for the compliment."
The bob-haired girl's voice remained soft, but the fingers behind her back unconsciously curled up slightly.
"My mom just brought it back and asked me to try it on. I think the design of this uniform is pretty good, but it just feels... a little strange."
“You’ll get used to it soon,” Li Qingyang said with a smile. “By the way, why are you standing here?”
Kato Megumi paused for a moment.
If she had to give a specific reason, she wasn't really sure herself.
Just as I changed into my brand-new school uniform in the morning and stood in front of the mirror, ready to go to school, the image of that black-haired boy inexplicably popped into my mind.
Then, the steps that should have been going downstairs unknowingly turned into going upstairs.
By the time she came to her senses, she was already standing in front of his door, like a fool waiting for something...
Hmm...actually, I probably wanted him to see it, right?
The thought flashed through her mind, and the bob-haired girl's gaze flickered for a moment before quickly returning to his face.
After a brief silence, she raised her eyes again, looking at him with clear eyes, and explained softly, "Because I couldn't get through to Li Jun on the phone and he didn't reply to my text messages, so... I thought it would be better to come and see for myself."
"Ah, sorry, sorry," Li Qingyang scratched his head apologetically, "The situation over there is a bit complicated, I didn't have time to check my phone."
As he spoke, he asked, "Where are Auntie and Uncle? Did they go to work?"
“Yes,” Kato Megumi nodded, “Dad and Mom have gone out.”
"And you? Have you had breakfast yet? Now it's time to..."
"I've already eaten and I'm getting ready for school," Kato Megumi replied. "Where's Li-kun?"
"I've already eaten. I ate in Tokyo. Since you're going to school, that's perfect. I'll give you a ride."
As Li Qingyang spoke, he stepped forward, took out the key with the Q-version Zoffy Ultraman pendant from his pocket, opened the door, then turned to the side and nodded to Gedi, who was wagging his tail expectantly at his feet: "Gedi, go in and guard the house."
The little yellow dog whimpered, rubbed its head against his trouser leg, and then reluctantly ran inside. It squatted on the entryway mat, its big, dark eyes watching longingly as its owner slammed the door shut...
The stairwell was quiet in the early morning, with only two sets of footsteps, one light and one heavy, echoing on the concrete steps.
As you walk down from the upper floor, a gentle breeze carries a slight chill, mixed with the aroma of toasted bread and fried eggs wafting from some apartment below.
A young boy and girl walking one after the other broke the tranquility.
"Has everything been resolved regarding Mr. Li's situation in Tokyo?" Kato Megumi asked softly, walking slightly behind him.
"Yes, it's resolved, and it went smoothly."
Li Qingyang walked ahead, turned half his face when he heard this, and recalled how he had been running back and forth between the Gaia Time and the Land of Light Time, acquiring all the professional knowledge of the Alchemy Star on one hand, and gathering light from all the Ultra Brothers and the two Blue Clan scientists on the other. His voice couldn't help but carry a hint of laughter.
"It was just a errand I ran, nothing serious."
"I see..."
Kato Megumi's voice sounded like she breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the boy's broad back, she asked casually, "Speaking of which, Li Jun's family in China... how are they? They must be very worried about you being alone in Japan, since Japan is now widely recognized as the most dangerous place in the world."
Li Qingyang paused almost imperceptibly.
His mother's face, which was always nagging him to get married and have children as soon as possible, flashed through his mind.
He, a perfectly healthy person, suddenly disappeared, especially after being launched into space by the UAV. Knowing the nature of his family, they must be frantic with worry right now.
"They must be... very worried about me."
