Chapter 252 – As Long as You Have the Heart, Fate Will Come

Although Yun Langyue did not understand Su Ming’s actions, she did not oppose them.

From an objective standpoint, Su Ming’s approach was undoubtedly unwise.

Especially in the eyes of a woman as intelligent and resourceful as Yun Langyue, Su Ming’s behavior was no different from those who were so immersed in power that they refused to extricate themselves—essentially, it was nothing short of seeking death.

Under normal circumstances, Yun Langyue would have looked down on such a person inwardly, even if she didn’t express it outwardly.

But when it came to Su Ming, Yun Langyue offered unconditional support.

It wasn’t because Yun Langyue saw him through rose-tinted glasses, believing he was inherently extraordinary, but because she was well aware that Su Ming possessed many extraordinary methods.

She had always known that her great benefactor harbored significant secrets.

How could an ordinary person possess an invaluable treasure like the Bloodline of a Nightmare Species without having secrets?

How could an ordinary person have the means to acquire an adaptation potion that even major Families and powerful factions sought in vain?

Where did Su Ming obtain those precious Extraordinary Items, alchemical weapons, and alchemical potions that he occasionally produced?

Moreover, Su Ming had repeatedly performed the trick of “materializing objects out of thin air” in front of Yun Langyue and a few others. Despite having nothing in his hands and no convenient place to carry items, he could always flip his hand and produce strange and peculiar things. It seemed like magic but was far more Xuanhuan in nature.

In this regard, Xu Qianqian was likely the most qualified to speak.

After all, during their first transaction, Su Ming had waved his hand toward the empty air in front of her, and a truckload of Extraordinary Items descended from the sky, piling up into a small hill before her. Even someone as composed as her was so startled that she couldn’t hold her teacup steady, dropping it with a clatter on the spot.

Su Ming had also repeatedly materialized armed motorcycles like Dragon’s Gall out of thin air—a feat that, at the very least, Xu Qianqian had never heard of before.

Yun Langyue had witnessed such scenes several times as well. From initial astonishment to subsequent curiosity, she eventually grew accustomed to it, no longer surprised by Su Ming’s mysterious methods.

And it must be said that these enigmatic methods added a great deal of luster to Su Ming.

Yun Langyue firmly believed that Su Ming would one day reach the pinnacle of this world, not only because she had witnessed his incredible potential but also because she had seen his array of extraordinary methods.

At times, Su Ming could even produce Extraordinary Items that she, the true highest authority behind Cloudflow Commerce, had never seen before—this alone was astonishing enough.

After all, in this world, there were very few Extraordinary Items that Yun Langyue could not recognize.

Otherwise, she would not be worthy of leading Cloudflow Commerce, the largest operator of Extraordinary Items among the Four Coastal Base Cities.

Even if there were Extraordinary Items from the inland regions that had not appeared in the Four Coastal Base Cities, Yun Langyue might not have seen them, but she had certainly heard of or knew about them.

This alone illustrates how incredible Su Ming’s methods were in Yun Langyue’s eyes.This resulted in Yun Langyue’s blind trust in Su Ming, firmly believing he could accomplish things others couldn’t.

When it came to faith in Su Ming, perhaps no one in this world could surpass Yun Langyue.

Not Xu Qianqian.

Not Lei Hao, Ye Bai, Jiang Wanyu, Yao Beibei, or the others.

Not even Su Ming’s own parents and relatives might trust him more than Yun Langyue did.

The only person who could potentially rival Yun Langyue in this regard was probably An Zijin, right?

That overly adorable girl next door had gone beyond mere trust—no matter what happened, she would mindlessly support Su Ming. Even if he told her jumping off the rooftop would make her a Seven-Star Professional, she’d probably leap without hesitation.

Of course, while jumping, this girl next door would definitely drag Su Ming along with her.

She would never forget her “Brother Su Ming” when it came to such “good fortune” (laughs).

In any case, since Su Ming had made his decision, Yun Langyue wouldn’t question it further.

She believed that if Su Ming had decided this way, he must have his own methods to resolve the matter.

Thus, under Professor Ying’s rather respectful (reluctant?) gaze, the two left the underground base and returned to the Yun Family Estate.

Once upstairs, Su Ming took the opportunity to shed his “Ming Wang” alter ego, storing away all his incognito attire and returning to his normal appearance.

This way, if anyone saw Su Ming at the Yun Family Estate, they would simply think Yun Langyue was entertaining her young lover—far better than having “Ming Wang” wandering around here.

However, Su Ming didn’t stay long at the Yun Family Estate before Yun Langyue dragged him away.

Where did she drag him to?

Naturally, to shopping malls, amusement parks, and movie theaters.

That’s right, Yun Langyue had caught Su Ming on the spot and, without another word, took him out on a date.

“Back during the Phantom Demon Potion incident, you promised me you’d accompany me for a proper outing and carry my things,” Yun Langyue brought up the matter, leaving Su Ming no opportunity to refuse.

Coupled with the fact that the “Ming Wang” affair had indeed caused some trouble for the Yun family, and considering how much he’d been under Yun Langyue’s care and protection lately, Su Ming—who had already been thinking about making it up to her—decided not to be tactless.

That evening, the two visited many places together.

Throughout the journey, Yun Langyue kept holding onto Su Ming’s arm, her breathtaking smile never fading.

Watching her like this, Su Ming suddenly felt her smile seemed much more genuine and unrestrained than usual.

Although Yun Langyue often smiled in daily life, it was usually a slight, pursed-lip smile—somewhat seductive and full of charm, enough to bewitch any man who saw it.

But those smiles felt more like polite, external gestures rather than genuine laughter from the heart.

Even when facing him, this enchantress would deliberately smile in a provocative, alluring, and calculated manner, clearly trying to charm him.

Only at this moment did Yun Langyue’s smile appear truly authentic, even carrying a hint of innocence, giving Su Ming the feeling that he wasn’t out with a woman three years his senior, but rather like he was spending time with a girl his own age.I have to say, this gave Su Ming a completely new experience.

“So, she can laugh like this too.”

Su Ming’s impression of Yun Langyue began to shift somewhat.

He had always kept his distance from Yun Langyue precisely because many of her actions were beyond his comprehension.

To put it simply, she treated him too well and was excessively indulgent, making Su Ming feel it was all very unreal.

A heaven-blessed young woman who had overturned the many great Families that destroyed her own, reassembled a behemoth like the ‘Cloudflow Commerce’, achieved things at a young age that even seasoned leaders couldn’t accomplish, with schemes and methods so masterful they were beyond compare—so beautiful, so outstanding, so extraordinary, the goddess in countless people’s hearts—had suddenly appeared before him, seemingly offering herself for free. How could anyone not find that unreal?

Perhaps if it were someone driven by lust, faced with such good fortune, they would only be overjoyed, feeling a stroke of luck had come their way.

Unfortunately, Su Ming wasn’t like that.

He only believed that pies don’t just fall from the sky for no reason, so he felt overwhelmed, wanting to flee and keep his distance.

Now, thinking it over carefully, wasn’t his reaction influenced by all the rumors about Yun Langyue?

Because subconsciously, he felt that a woman with such formidable methods approaching him couldn’t possibly be just to repay a kindness, and even less likely to sacrifice herself for it, Su Ming had remained guarded against Yun Langyue.

It was only at this moment, seeing another side of Yun Langyue, that Su Ming began to think maybe he had been mistaken.

To him, it was just a trivial matter not worth mentioning.

But for Yun Langyue, it seemed otherwise.

In that moment, Su Ming felt an impulse to ask Yun Langyue what she truly thought.

But seeing her so purely, utterly happy just for the sake of enjoyment, Su Ming held himself back.

“Forget it, let’s leave it at that for now.”

Su Ming felt that some things didn’t necessarily need to be questioned.

Just as Yun Langyue never pried into his secrets, he shouldn’t ask things he shouldn’t ask either.

Moreover, it didn’t seem all that important.

Regardless, Yun Langyue had already proven herself—she genuinely cared about Su Ming and his affairs.

In that case, he only needed to trust her unconditionally, just as she unconditionally trusted him. That was enough.

Besides, the time they had together like this might not last much longer.

Su Ming brought up the matter.

“Before long, I should apply to the Academy for early graduation and leave Longyao City for Tianfeng City.”

When Su Ming mentioned this, surprisingly, Yun Langyue didn’t seem the least bit shocked.

She even looked as if it were only natural.

“I also think it’s about time.”

Yun Langyue inexplicably said such a thing.

“What?”

Su Ming couldn’t help but be taken aback.

In response, Yun Langyue gave him a calm and serene smile.

“I’ve said it before—you will surely reach the pinnacle of this world. So, sooner or later, a small temple like Longyao City won’t be able to contain you.”

This was a scenario Yun Langyue had envisioned from the very beginning.

After all, Longyao City was just too small.

At least, in the context of this world, it was small.If Su Ming wanted to reach the top, the possibility of him staying in Longyao City indefinitely would approach zero.

Yun Langyue, who was well aware of this, had long been mentally prepared for it.

“But don’t think you can get rid of me that easily, okay?”

Yun Langyue extended her delicate finger, tapped Su Ming’s cheek, and smiled brightly.

“Underestimating how persistent a woman can be will lead to great trouble.”

After leaving this puzzling remark, Yun Langyue stopped dwelling on the matter and continued enjoying herself happily.

Su Ming was utterly baffled, but seeing how cheerful Yun Langyue looked, he decided it didn’t matter.

Longyao City was small, but the world wasn’t all that big either.

As long as one had the intention, fate would eventually bring them together.
