Chapter 2714: Chapter 1686: Second Update, Seeking Monthly Votes!

"Bro, having small bowl dishes again?"

Martial Saint swiftly tossed his backpack into the backseat, then closed the car door and sat in the front passenger seat. Seeing Brother Chen here to pick him up was not at all surprising, he casually said, "Arguing with Sister Shurui again?"

Have to admit.

This kid’s intuition is extraordinarily sharp.

"What small bowl dishes, let’s go home and eat instant noodles."

Jiang Chen started the car, driving away from the street filled with luxury cars.

"Bro, why don’t I treat you? Let’s eat at our cafeteria, it’s quite lavish, better than those small bowl dishes from last time."

Martial Saint generously offered, seemingly in a good mood, after all, it’s the monthly break again.

Jiang Chen ignored it, "What flavor? Braised beef or pickled mustard?"

Got it.

Definitely argued again.

But why always drag me into it?

"Bro, is it because of that beauty?"

Martial Saint whispered, "Is she gone?"

He was rushing to school in the morning, couldn’t say goodbye to her.

"Gone."

"Left so soon?"

Martial Saint was slightly disappointed, then quietly said, "Bro, now can you tell me? What’s that beauty’s deal? She’s pretty skilled, holding her own against Sister Duanmu for so long, definitely no ordinary person."

"Don’t you know her name?"

"I know. Sakura."

"Have you seen Naruto?"

"I’ve seen it."

Martial Saint instinctively nodded, then suddenly had a realization, "Come to think of it, she does look a lot like Sakura from Naruto."

Martial Saint returned to the topic, "Bro, you’re still supposed to answer my question."

"Didn’t I already answer you?"

Martial Saint was puzzled, inexplicably, after a while, he laughed, "Bro, you’re not saying she’s a ninja, are you?"

"Hmm. Could potentially become the youngest upper-level ninja in Japan."

Jiang Chen calmly said while driving.

Martial Saint was lost in thought.

Wait a minute.

First, the Sunflower Manual.

Then a ninja appeared.

Has the Cultivation Era begun?

"Bro, that Sunflower Manual of yours, it isn’t real, is it?"

"Do you want it?"

Martial Saint hesitated, eventually nodding, "If you don’t mind, Bro, let me take a look."

Made a miscalculation.

Shouldn’t have given it to Luo Peng.

Should have given it to this kid.

Let Lan Peizhi understand what cause and effect is.

"Too late, already given away."

Martial Saint was shocked again.

Giving the Sunflower Manual away?

"Who did you give it to?"

"Your Brother Peng."

Though not very familiar, there’s definitely recognition, Martial Saint smirked.

"Bro, you’re really loyal."

"Forgot your phone, right?"

Jiang Chen suddenly asked, using an old trick.

But Martial Saint learned his lesson and wouldn’t fall for it, "No! You can search my backpack if you don’t believe me."

Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself.

Having experienced student days himself, Jiang Chen certainly wouldn’t do such a thing.

Being the adult you needed as a child is the shortcut to becoming a qualified guardian.

Sakura’s visit clarified all the puzzles, maybe she wasn’t that close to Brother Wang, but since he died in gunfire, given the personality of that Xiao Princess, she must be somewhat sad.

Of course.

These stories are certainly not to be shared with this kid.

"Where did that scarf come from?"

Only then did Jiang Chen notice the warm yellow scarf around Martial Saint’s neck, looking roughly made, even with exposed threads, but the vibe was cozy.

During this season, wearing a scarf for warmth isn’t surprising, but with this kid’s personality, he probably wouldn’t like this kind of outfit, right?

Hmm.

Outfit and personality are strongly related.

Some people like flashy colors, bright reds and purples, while others are resistant, even dislike them.

Wearing a scarf is the same.

Anyway, Boss Jiang never wore one, even in freezing weather, just like some won’t carry an umbrella in a heavy downpour.

"Someone gave it to me, said it was hand-knitted. Bro, you know, I’m thin-skinned, so I wore it to keep up appearances."

Martial Saint said while taking off the scarf, likely having forgotten about it earlier.

Jiang Chen automatically ignored his latter half statement, "A girl gave it to you?"

"What else?"

Martial Saint’s expression was peculiar, immediately clarifying: "Bro, although I’m from Bashu, I have no unsavory quirks."

A thought Jiang Chen hadn’t even considered made him burst into laughter.

Almost forgot.

This kid is a Jin Guanren.

"Quite the charm, huh."

Since the girl gave it out of her own accord, Jiang Chen certainly wouldn’t criticize.

Martial Saint humbly smiled, "Not really. My birthday is coming up, so it’s like a birthday present."

"Your birthday’s coming up?"

Jiang Chen was surprised.

Martial Saint wasn’t bothered at all, if the other remembered his birthday, he’d actually be surprised.

"Yeah, I’ll be fifteen. Sigh, time swiftly pushes one away, reddening cherries, greening bananas."

Jiang Chen almost laughed, but couldn’t, people writing poems and verses, certainly wasn’t wrong.

"So, you should cherish the present, every moment you’re idle now is time you won’t get back in the future."

Martial Saint sighed with emotion.

"My mom called me yesterday, wanted to send me money, but how could I accept? A son’s birthday is a mother’s day of hardship."

Though this kid refers to his dad by name with no patience, it doesn’t mean he lacks it.

It seems sons are generally closer to their mothers.

But not always.

Lan Peizhi is a daughter, yet she doesn’t seem particularly close to her father either.

"Aren’t you on break? You can go visit."

"It’s only a four-day break, I’d spend it all traveling back and forth. It’d be better if my mom came here instead," Martial Saint said instinctively.

"That’s not impossible either."

Martial Saint was dazed, "Bro, really?"

"Your parents haven’t been to East Sea yet, have they?"

"My mom, she’s never even left the village."

Martial Saint’s voice lowered.

"While you still have the chance, try not to leave any regrets."

Jiang Chen softly said.

Martial Saint looked at the man driving, "But how do I tell my sister?"

"You are you, she is she."

The logic is there, but...

"Bro, I’m still a student, I have no money."

Jiang Chen almost couldn’t hold it in, but, how could he argue with that?

"I’ll pay."

Boss Jiang said succinctly.

Martial Saint was tempted, but still hesitant, "Bro, won’t that be inappropriate?"

Thinking he was referring to Jiang Chen footing the bill, instead he said: "If my mom learns about Sister Shurui...

This kid, truly thoughtful.

Even Jiang Chen hadn’t considered, his composed demeanor cracked, he lightly coughed, continuing to drive calmly.

"Why would you let your mom know."

"Makes sense!"

Damn, they really are a perfect match!

Martial Saint no longer hesitated, "Then I’ll give it a try."

Jiang Chen quietly drove.

"Bro, we’re going the wrong way."

Realizing the direction was off, Martial Saint pointed it out.

"Let’s eat first."

"Weren’t we having instant noodles?"

"What instant noodles, let’s go for seafood."

Every kid deserves a treat.
