Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest

Chapter 103 Yunjin, You Are in Love
No matter how Su Ma tried to persuade her softly or threatened her harshly, Su Yunjin remained gentle and repeated the same words over and over again.

There's no way I'm going to quit. I'm the team's core! Without me, the team will fall apart.

Dangerous? No, I'm the team's main force! How can I be the main force without some strength?
Mom, Dad, I know you are worried about me, but you should actually be more proud of me.

Because I am the main force of the team!

Su Ma racked her brains and tried her best to persuade her daughter, but she never thought that her daughter, who had never been rebellious since she was a child, would be so stubborn and unyielding. This forced her to give her husband a look of annoyance, meaning, "Just look at our daughter contradicting me like this?"

Dad Su had been quietly observing and listening at the side, and he couldn't help but feel emotional.

From childhood to adulthood, Su Yunjin has always been a super obedient girl in front of her parents, relatives and teachers.

She loves reading, but never pushes her parents to buy her books. She also likes clothes, jewelry, and makeup, but she doesn't actively buy them. In her daily life, she follows her parents' lead, going to whatever school they want her to go to and majoring in liberal arts, without asking any questions.

Of course, this submissive character is not very good, and it once made Su's father quite worried.

Now that he sees his daughter finally starting to have her own opinions, Su's father feels relieved on the one hand, but on the other hand he wants to know more about what changed her.

Then, Dad Su noticed some details:
Every time Su Yunjin said, "I am the main force of the team," his eyes would unconsciously glance quickly at Yan Yu next to him.

Dad Su pondered for a long time and finally smiled with relief.

Really…

After all, Yunjin has grown up.

Maybe it's time to trust her judgment of people.

"Forget it." Dad Su hinted to Mom Su with his eyes, "You should stop interfering. Your daughter is not a child anymore. You have to respect her opinions."

"This isn't a matter of opinion." Su Ma didn't notice her daughter's subtle movements or her husband's subtle hints at all. She just insisted on her own opinion and advised, "Yunjin, you're my only daughter in this life. If anything happens to you, what do you want me to do?"

Su Yunjin was a thoughtful girl. When she heard Su Ma speaking with such emotion and tears in her eyes, she felt sad and wavered. She thought to herself, should she not take risks so easily and make her parents at home worry?

But she soon remembered something else.

In the era of spiritual revival, the power of cultivators will only become stronger and stronger, but mortals cannot keep up with the times. If this continues, there will definitely be problems.

In that village in Longquan Prefecture, an old man who accidentally embarked on a spiritual journey possessed the power to massacre the entire village. What if the next illegal cultivator appeared in Gusu Prefecture? He showed up in the neighborhood where my parents lived, seeking to use the souls of innocent people to refine magical instruments? What would we do?
Should I strive to improve my own strength so I can protect Mom and Dad? Or should I listen to Mom and avoid the front lines, hoping for rescue from powerful monks like the captain when danger strikes? What if they're too late to save me?
I'm sorry, Mom. I'm actually very afraid of dying, but I'm even more afraid that no one will be able to save you.

From the moment I became a monk, I embarked on this dangerous and thorny road with an unknown end.

I won't look back.

"Mom." Su Yunjin held the coffee cup, lowered her head, and said softly, "I have made up my mind."

Hearing Su Yunjin say this, Su Ma was stunned and silent, not knowing how to react.

"Yunjin, don't mind it." Father Su advised from the side, "Your mother is just worried about you. But if you are really determined, we will all stand by you."

"Yeah." Su Yunjin suddenly wanted to cry, but she held it back very hard.

"By the way, your dad has finally been selected as an academician of the Hanlin Academy." Father Su said with a boastful smile, "You can tell your classmates that you have an academician father."

"Really?" Su Yunjin exclaimed in surprise.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and the Imperial Academy, collectively known as the Three Great Academies of the Lu Kingdom, represent the pinnacle of academic careers. All academicians are appointed for life, with a fixed number of members, and new members are added only after the passing of senior members.

For Su's father to be selected as an academician of the Hanlin Academy, his ability is definitely sufficient, but luck definitely plays a role as well.

When talking about her husband's career achievements, even though Su's mother was still worried about her daughter, she couldn't help but smile.

"Then Dad has to treat us to dinner this time?" Su Yunjin asked playfully.

"Of course, otherwise why would I come to see you?" Father Su said proudly, and then looked at Yan Yu next to him, "Yan Yu, are there any restaurants near your school?"

Su Yunjin suddenly felt something was wrong. The whole family was having a dinner together to celebrate his father's success in his career. Why were you asking about the captain?

Of course, since the captain was sitting next to him, it was normal to ask... but it was still weird.

Dad! Can't you wait until the captain leaves? We're having a family dinner together, and it would be weird to ask the captain!

"Restaurant." Yan Yu thought for a while, and suddenly said with high emotional intelligence, "I'm not very familiar with food. Yunjin knows more about it than I do." Su Yunjin just breathed a sigh of relief and was about to recommend some food spots to Su's father, but he heard Su's father ask with a smile:

"Don't you two usually go out to eat?"

When these words were spoken, Yan Yu raised his eyebrows, Su Ma was stunned, and Su Yunjin's heart skipped a beat.

Wait! Did my dad misunderstand something?

She wanted to clarify quickly, but the words stopped abruptly at her lips.

Miss Su loves reading. People who love reading are quick-witted. She quickly realized that the subject of her father's words, "you two," can actually be understood in two ways:
One refers to couples. If this is the case, then it is a presuppositional question. The focus is not on the question itself but on the presupposition. Whether you answer yes or no, it is equivalent to tacitly accepting the presupposition, so it must be corrected directly.

The other one refers to the team members. You two are in the same team. Don’t you often go out to eat?

If my father meant the latter and I hurriedly clarified it, it would seem stupid and like I was trying to cover up something.

Su Yunjin thought it over quickly and said with a smile:
"As for the team dinner, it's actually quite good..."

Before she finished speaking, she heard Su Ma quickly look at Yan Yu, then turn her gaze back to her daughter, and then she shouted in shock:

"Yunjin, are you in love?!"

Su Yunjin's smile froze on her face.

--------

Su Yunjin finally went to dinner with her parents.

As for how she explained that there was no personal relationship between her and the captain, that was her own business. Yan Yu chose to believe in Miss Su's wisdom.

After having a casual dinner outside, Yan Yu just returned to school when he received a call from Qi Changping.

"Hello, is this Mr. Li looking for me?"

"Yes." Qi Changping said speechlessly, "But can you change the honorific and call me Chief, please?"

"Okay, I'll go to his office right away."

On the way to the office, Yan Yu thought silently.

What does this old commander-in-chief want me to do again?

Could it be that she heard that Su Ma mistakenly thought that I had a relationship with her daughter, so she called me over to mock me?
No, no, no, he shouldn't be so disdainful. He's not Chen Lingyun! Perhaps another secret realm has been revealed.

When he arrived at the principal's office, Yan Yu pulled a chair and sat down without waiting for Li Weiguo to ask him to sit down.

"You're quite polite, kid." Li Weiguo said with a smile while holding up the teacup.

"Your time is precious, so I won't waste it." Yan Yu asked directly and straightforwardly, "Which secret realm has been revealed? Do you want me to take people to take it down?"

"Oh, that's not it." Li Weiguo put down his teacup. "A few secret realms have indeed been revealed recently, but the higher-ups are still confirming the allocation. We'll let you know when it's ready."

Now the Lu Kingdom has rich experience in dealing with the sudden appearance of entrances to secret realms.

In a large secret realm like Wuyi Mountain, for example, located in Minhai Province, the main team is the Zhendong Army Team, and then a visiting team is found from the other three armies to simulate confrontation exercises and jointly compete for the control center of the secret realm.

However, if it is a smaller secret realm like Longquan Mountain, the two-team competition system will not be used in the future. It will be handled by the side in whichever province it is located, so as to avoid excessive waste of monks' manpower.

"However, Liu Longtao's team has been very active recently," Li Weiguo continued. "Last week, they captured three secret realms in one go and defeated Zhou Hongyu's team from the Pingxi Army. They currently have a perfect record."

Three secret realms in a week? Yan Yu couldn't help but be amazed. Are all the members of Team Jingye practicing triathlon?
Apart from anything else, just flying around all day long is enough to make people tired.

Not to mention that you have to plan tactics before the battle, fight in the secret realm, and review the battle afterward... Even if you had five livers, you wouldn't be able to handle this!
"So, what do you think?" Li Weiguo asked with a smile, "Their historical record and number of victories have already surpassed yours."

"What are you looking at?" Yan Yu asked cautiously. "If you're asking what I think of Liu Longtao, then judging by past records, he's my defeated opponent. If you're asking what I think of his team, then my current impression is that it's a team led by someone I've defeated..."

"Okay, stop it." Li Weiguo suddenly felt a headache.
