Who says I can't become a Grand Master?

Chapter 109 No matter how beautiful the younger sister is, in the end she'll just be a spoiled brat.

Zhang Qingzhe's gaze also focused on it.

To his astonishment, he discovered that the pair of short swords, which were originally just patterns, were now faintly shimmering with a flowing halo, as if they were covered with a thin film of blazing flames!

Zhang Qingzhe frowned.

This seems to be —

A chain reaction occurred?

The fire element energy contained in the [Fireball] card was absorbed by the "World Card" and added to the original [Throwing Knife] card.

In other words, if everything goes smoothly, he can now use the [Enchanted Throwing Knife].

Of course, he wouldn't dare try it in the bedroom right now.

If a fire breaks out, he and his sister will have to sleep under a bridge tomorrow.

However, now is not the time to delve into this.

Zhang Qingzhe had a more pressing task—delivering the goods to Wang Dong tomorrow.

The dozens of Fireball cards that I painstakingly created were instantly drained by the World Card.

He could only rub his sore eyes, force himself to stay awake, take out the materials again, and continue working diligently.

Although my mother sent me living expenses, learning magic is very expensive.

If he wants to continue improving, he must find a way to make money.

The cicadas outside the window stopped sometime ago, and the moon quietly moved to the west.

But Zhang Qingzhe still had to do backbreaking work.

***

The next morning.

Zhang Qingzhe, sporting prominent dark circles under his eyes, yawned as he walked into the campus.

Because he woke up too late, he gave up his plans to do morning exercises and just wanted to get to the classroom quickly to catch up on some sleep.

But to his surprise, he was blocked on the tree-lined path leading to the teaching building.

Gu Xintong stood there, gently twirling the ends of her hair with both hands.

The morning light filtered through the leaves, casting shimmering spots of light on her.

Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were glaring at him fiercely, her soft, fair cheeks puffed out slightly.

Although she was wearing makeup, she couldn't hide her fatigue, and there were faint bluish shadows under her eyes.

The two stared at each other for a while, and both could clearly see the "panda eyes" on the other's face.

Zhang Qingzhe was stunned for a moment.

Thinking that he himself was staying up all night making cards, he wondered why this pampered young lady also looked like she hadn't slept well.

She doesn't need to worry about making a living, does she?

Gu Xintong was also stunned.

She tossed and turned almost all night, barely sleeping, because of feeling wronged and overthinking. Unexpectedly—

He was just like me?

Could it be that he is heartbroken for himself?

Well!

It seems I went too far and hurt his feelings.

Gu Xintong, who had been holding back her anger and questions all night, was moved when she saw his equally haggard face.

The softest corner of my heart was suddenly and deeply touched.

That little bit of anger that had been building up, like a balloon punctured by a needle, silently leaked out most of it.

"you----"

Gu Xintong spoke first, her voice softer than expected, "You shouldn't make yourself look too haggard."

"oh."

Zhang Qingzhe nodded somewhat blankly, "I'll be careful."

"Actually, I'm not that angry with you." Gu Xintong lowered her head, her toes unconsciously grinding a fallen leaf on the ground.

"Okay."

Zhang Qingzhe gave a dry reply, but he was a little confused.

Although the two were chatting, they weren't on the same wavelength. Gu Xintong hesitated for a moment, then finally asked the question that had been nagging at her since last night: "Why didn't you call me to explain?"

"Explain what?" Zhang Qingzhe didn't react for a moment.

"Explain Lin Wan's matter."

Gu Xintong's tone rose slightly, and she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed—this person is such a blockhead!

I almost burst into tears when I ran away yesterday.

Doesn't he know he should have made a phone call afterward, even if it was just to offer a few words of comfort?

Zhang Qingzhe scratched his head, looking somewhat troubled.

"Like I said, she really is my cousin. Although—I only found out yesterday."

He himself felt that this explanation sounded a bit absurd, and was thinking about how to add to it when he saw Gu Xintong burst out laughing first.

That smile was like sunlight breaking through the morning mist, instantly softening the lingering grievance on her face.

"Okay, okay, I know, I believe you, alright?"

Gu Xintong pursed her lips, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Like—like believing that young high school girl who went shopping with you last time was your younger sister."

"That's true too." Zhang Qingzhe's tone was even more helpless.

"You're really lucky!"

Gu Xintong tilted her head slightly, the morning light dancing on her soft hair. "Both of my younger sisters are so beautiful."

"Is having a beautiful sister a form of happiness?" Zhang Qingzhe sighed. "In the end, didn't that brat get the better deal?"

The two looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter at the same time.

The minor conflict and misunderstanding from yesterday have completely vanished at this moment.

The subtle distance between them seemed to have been shortened.

They strolled slowly along the tree-lined path, chatting about trivial campus matters.

The lingering awkwardness from last night gradually melted away in the gentle morning air.

Just as the two were about to part ways and head towards the teaching buildings of their respective schools of thought—

A deep engine roar came from afar, abruptly shattering the tranquility of the campus in the early morning.

A bright red Porsche sports car, with dazzling lights, executed a sleek drift and came to a precise stop beside Zhang Qingzhe.

The dazzling sunlight reflected off the sleek car body, casting a blinding red light that made Zhang Qingzhe instinctively squint.

The car window rolled down, revealing Xia Qiwei's bright and beautiful face.

Today she was dressed in hunting attire, like a rider ready for battle.

The form-fitting leather jacket perfectly outlined her exquisite figure, with a wide leather belt around her waist that accentuated her slender waist, giving her a wild yet capable beauty.

"It's perfect to run into you," Xia Qiwei waved to him, her purple eyes appearing particularly deep in the morning light. "Get in the car quickly."

"Professor, I still have class—" Zhang Qingzhe tried to emphasize.

"I'll ask for leave for you."

"What is it now?"

Xia Qiwei blinked, her gaze seemingly casually sweeping over Gu Xintong before she said mysteriously, "A new intern."

As soon as Zhang Qingzhe heard "internship", he immediately understood.

Although the specific details are still unknown, there is clearly only one destination: the [Dragon Disaster Area].

He turned to Gu Xintong with a hint of helplessness and said a brief goodbye: "Then I'll be going now."

Gu Xintong slightly furrowed her delicate brows, looked at Xia Qiwei facing her, and raised a slightly smug chin.

He deftly put on his cool black sunglasses and then slammed on the gas pedal.

The red sports car carrying Zhang Qingzhe sped away, leaving only a faint trail of exhaust fumes.

Gu Xintong frowned!
