A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 144 What the hell kind of monster is this?

"Senior brothers, you're finally back!"

In the hotel corridor, Chu Zihang and Caesar, who happened to return at the same time, were both cold-faced when they soon saw Lu Mingfei excitedly coming to greet them.

That expression was like that of a child who couldn't do their homework and was crying because the questions were too difficult, but finally saw their parents come home.

Even my two senior brothers couldn't figure it out.

Caesar originally thought that it was bad enough that he had spent the whole day visiting the site and had gained nothing, but it was even more unlucky that he returned at the same time as Chu Zihang.

When he got back to his floor, he discovered that even more unpleasant things seemed to be waiting for him.

"What's wrong with you?" Caesar scrutinized Lu Mingfei closely, unable to discern any of the demeanor of an S-class elite.

As if he had found a relative, Lu Mingfei began to complain endlessly: "I don't know either, I don't know what suddenly happened to Senior Sister Su Qian."

"I was given a form with irregular times on it, such as reminding her to sit on the east side to look up information in three minutes, or reminding her to move to the west side in two minutes and twelve seconds."

"When I was worried about not being able to wake up the next day during spring outings, I set multiple alarms, but none of them were as exaggerated as Senior Susie's schedule."

"Fingal had no idea where he learned all this knowledge, saying that in the mysticism, doing certain things at different times will bring good luck, and he even started explaining divination and astrology to me."

"I'm about to lose it. Aren't we supposed to be learning about dragons? How did this get into astrology and fortune telling?"

He complained all the way, leading his two senior brothers to their senior sisters' room, which bored Caesar to no end.

No, what's wrong with Susie?
Chu Zihang appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he began to feel anxious. He had been silent for too long and had indeed become complacent.

They should have gone back to the hotel and immediately provoked Caesar upon seeing him. Susie and Fingel have already started taking action; if this continues, his potion digestion progress will fall behind.

"Chu Zihang?" Caesar was completely unaware of these matters and, solely focused on completing the mission, asked, "Shouldn't you explain?"

"Susie is in charge of online research, and she keeps changing the direction of her research. How strange is that? How much time does that waste?"

"You'd better persuade her to change this strange behavior."

This time, Chu Zihang seemed to be deliberately saying, "Don't worry about it."

"?!" Caesar instantly flew into a rage. No, this person was uncommunicative?

What do you mean by "don't worry about him"?

The principal's task for them was to complete the task quickly.

According to Lu Mingfei, what information could Susie possibly find by searching in that way?
If Lu Mingfei hadn't happened to open the unlocked door to the two senior sisters' room at that moment, Caesar might have uttered a few Italian curses.

However, the noble and gentlemanly demeanor ingrained in his bones restrained Caesar.

He absolutely could not lose his composure in front of the two ladies.

Especially in front of Chen Motong, whom she likes, she shouldn't act like this.

Even though Caesar found Susie strange, he wouldn't say it to her face; that would be too ungentlemanly and inappropriate as a comment on a lady.

"You're back?" Chen Motong simply waved at the small dining table in the suite, which was considered a greeting.

The table was already laden with food, but no one touched their knives and forks, clearly waiting for Chu Zihang and Caesar to return before eating together.

Chen Motong pulled out several bottles of alcohol from somewhere: "Come on, you've all worked hard today, have a few drinks to relax." Caesar didn't refuse. Wine tasting was also part of his style. He even once spent 20 million to buy champagne for a pool party and held an all-champagne pool party at the student council.

Chu Zihang also wanted to see how Chen Motong would handle digestion and learn from her, so he remained silent. Only Lu Mingfei seemed a little embarrassed, torn between whether or not to drink.

Susie's potion-making progress was currently the lowest, but she didn't want to miss the opportunity to have Lu Mingfei and Caesar present at the same time. Suppressing her discomfort, she took out the electric kettle provided in the hotel room, which she had washed in advance: "Nono, fill it up."

"???" Caesar, who was about to savor the wine and show off his elegance in front of Chen Motong, suddenly froze, watching helplessly as Chen Motong poured the wine into the electric kettle.

who I am? where am I? What am I going to do?
As if his thoughts had been stolen by a dream thief, Caesar's mind went blank for a moment.

Then Caesar saw Susie holding a heavy electric kettle in both hands, drinking alcohol from the spout, and he completely lost it. What the hell is this monster?!

Caesar felt a surge of intense emotion welling up inside his heart, and Chu Zihang had already taken a bottle of wine.

Chu Zihang dislikes drinking. His biological father, Chu Tianjiao, used to be scolded by his mother, Su Xiaoyan, every day because of his drinking problem.

Chu Tianjiao always smiled and coaxed Su Xiaoyan, but he would still continue to drink and be scolded. Every time this happened, young Chu Zihang would feel uncomfortable.

Over time, I've come to keep my distance from alcohol.

But if it's for digesting the potion—Chu Zihang glanced at Caesar: "Can't drink it?"

Caesar's temples throbbed, and the veins on his forehead visibly bulged. Were Chu Zihang and Su Xi, the Lionheart Club duo, sent by God specifically to annoy him?
I couldn't stand it anymore and told the lady that the correct way to taste wine is also a form of gentlemanly conduct.

It's not gentlemanly at all to just watch a lady make a fool of herself!
Fueled by anger towards Chu Zihang and a steadfast commitment to gentlemanly conduct, Caesar was about to say something when Chen Motong handed him a glass of wine.

"You've been to so many places during the day, you must be exhausted."

The gentle, soothing voice, like autumn water that could calm all emotions, inexplicably calmed Caesar's heart, and he calmly accepted the wine: "I'm fine."

“I usually pay attention to exercise. I swim and sail every week. If you want to try it, Nono, we can try a two-person sailboat next time.”

"Phew..." Lu Mingfei, who had been virtually invisible since entering, breathed a sigh of relief. That was terrifying!
Just now, it seemed like Senior Brother Caesar was releasing murderous intent!

He was initially relieved that Susie's illness hadn't become so severe when he reminded her, but now Lu Mingfei was no longer so relieved and even wanted to run away.

Later, seeing how easily Chen Motong dealt with Caesar, he felt a surge of admiration.

As expected of Senior Sister Nuonuo, she managed to calm Senior Brother Caesar down with ease.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei tactfully flattered him: "Impressive, Senior Brother Caesar. Could you tell me about sailboats and such?"

"Hey, Mingfei, I told you you were curious about sailboats!" Fingel seized the opportunity, putting an arm around Lu Mingfei and starting to pontificate, "This sailboat, let me tell you..."

Damn it, Lu Mingfei wanted to cry but had no tears. Why couldn't he control his loose tongue? He had completely forgotten that Senior Brother Fingel was here!

Just as Chen Motong was about to take a sip of wine, she inadvertently noticed the faint bitterness on Lu Mingfei's face and chimed in to Fingel, "Oh, so that's how it is."

For some reason, Lu Mingfei also listened attentively to Fingel's guidance, and from initially complaining about his poor performance, he became interested in sailing.

Strange, he's never been involved with sailing before, so why is he suddenly interested?
With Chen Motong effectively mediating, the six of them were quite satisfied with the dinner, despite it being a bit strange, chatting and laughing, expressing both anger and joy.

Whether Lu Mingfei and Caesar were happy or not, the four students had no way of knowing.

Anyway, they were quite happy to feel the accelerated digestion of the magic potion in their bodies.
