Go back? There's no going back.

He really still respected her as he said.

But at the same time, she also noticed that this little ghost... had become quite seriously distorted.

The eight-year-long succession seemed to have worn away his ego without him noticing, turning him into a person who had no self-respect and who prioritized considering other people's defective products over respecting himself.

In fact, Celsia knew what was going on in her mind. As the initiator and beneficiary of this incident, she did not accuse the other party of "not loving themselves".

In fact, when she suddenly took a tough attitude and tried to change the other party's flawed worldview, she had already realized that once those words were spoken, the gap between herself and this kid would suddenly deepen a lot.

After all, Celsia had noticed in the hospital before that although this kid always seemed to be submissive to her, his psychological defenses were unexpectedly fragile.

Even if it wasn't shown on the surface, whether it was the initial dismissal of the other party or the ruthless accusation just now, in the end... it would definitely make this kid become more and more distant from me subconsciously.

But even so, Celia did it.

She no longer wanted to see this brat groveling to anyone, no matter who it was.

He was clearly not afraid of her, but when facing her, his former employer with whom he no longer had any substantive employment relationship, he still chose to compromise.

Celsia couldn't even imagine what would happen if the other party were to meet a bitch who had bewitched him to the point of losing his mind the first time they met... this kid would end up being bullied and exploited.

Just the thought of this made her feel like her heart skipped a beat.

Even if a kid is really kidnapped by someone else in the future, she hopes that he can at least hold his head high in front of others and not always look submissive and fawning.

However, what gave Celsia a headache was that a certain little kid just now... seemed to have gotten stuck in a dead end in a strange place again.

The only thing he was unwilling to give in on was this matter. He first said frankly that it was natural for him to respect and love her more than himself. Later, when there was no room for explanation left, he simply played ostrich and responded to her with a submissive reaction.

Finally, in an extremely bad and depressing atmosphere, the vehicle set off again and arrived at the main gate of the training camp.

"..."

Standing in front of the main entrance of the training camp, Su Wei looked back with a dazed look.

All that was seen was a single carriage still standing there.

But the next second, when he vaguely saw the figure behind the car window, the animal cart started slowly and disappeared little by little around the corner of the street.

Seeing this, Su Wei remained silent and withdrew his gaze.

Now, he felt an indescribable sense of powerlessness permeating his whole body.

Just now... he made the princess feel worse again.

And this time, it was entirely his own fault.

Obviously, if I just lied a little and nodded to show that the princess was right and that I should learn to love myself more than respecting her... I could make that gentle lady feel better.

But, in the end, he really didn't want to lie to the princess and chose to respond honestly.

Inexplicably, the illusion in his mind reappeared, and the princess's various reactions to him appeared again. Su Wei swallowed silently.

If even such a gentle princess really loses patience with me because of this unpleasant ending... then I can only say that he deserves it.

"..."

After a long silence, Su Wei sighed silently, patted his face, and forced himself to cheer up.

Today, there are still many important things to do, and he has no time to hesitate here.

Just like yesterday, at this moment, in front of the main entrance of the training camp, countless yellow... receptionists gathered in groups, constantly arguing with passers-by.

But this time, no one approached Su Wei.

Even after he approached, the receptionists lowered their voices when promoting their products, and when their eyes accidentally met, they would back away with terrified expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

...No, are you really that afraid of a specially called student?

Although he was somewhat puzzled by the reactions of the receptionists, and did not see the kind-hearted person who had sponsored his admission fund of 5,000 gold coins, Su Wei did not pay too much attention to it and walked straight into the main gate of the training camp.

After entering the door, Su Wei did not hesitate and went straight to the Hunter's Guild branch built in the camp.

Although the square-faced team leader had transferred the balance of the atmosphere group's money to him this morning, Su Wei still had to go there in person to handle the upgrade of his hunter rating.

Moreover, the cultivation resources that are regularly distributed to the trainees in the training camp every week are also collected from the union.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

A moment later, when Su Wei stepped into the guild hall and came to a front desk, the young male receptionist who was sitting at his seat and chewing his fingers hurriedly stood up and raised a stiff and professional smile on his face.

"I want to advance in hunter rating."

Taking out his hunter ID card and handing it over, Su Wei added: "And collect the resources distributed this week."

"OK, just a second."

The receptionist took the card with both hands and verified it skillfully.

"Huh? Are you the Su Wei student who was specially summoned by the magic department yesterday?"

Not long after, Su Wei heard the receptionist's surprised voice.

"…It's me, what's the problem?"

Su Wei looked at the other party.

"No, there is no problem at all. You have successfully completed a commission from the King's City, and your rating has now been successfully promoted from trainee to junior hunter."

"In addition, in addition to the training resources that were originally going to be distributed to you this week, we also have a gift that the dean left for you alone."

After returning the hunter ID card to Su Wei, the receptionist's professional attitude became even more friendly. He said, "Let me see. It was 1600 gold coins at first... but it seems to have increased to 2000 gold coins later."

"..."

Hearing this, Su Wei was slightly stunned.

At this moment, the image of the extremely handsome and tough middle-aged dean reappeared in his mind, along with everything in the training camp. It seemed that at this moment, they became more familiar and more touching.

Our training camp...is really great.

"Thank you."

After a while, after receiving the box containing this week's training resources and the passbook with an extra 2,000 gold coins from the receptionist, Su Wei did not leave immediately.

He turned and walked to a seat in the corner of the hall, opened the box directly, and looked at the red and white capsule inside.

Picking up the small note folded in the box next to the capsule like an instruction manual, Su Wei quickly understood the effects of the medicine.

Magic-enhancing capsules for beginners (Supreme Deluxe Edition, strawberry flavor).

In theory, it is the most suitable medicine to lay a solid foundation for newcomers who have just embarked on the path of cultivation.

As long as the talent for cultivation is up to the standard, one only needs to take one pill a week and fully absorb the medicinal effects through sufficient intensity of cultivation. Most people will be able to officially enter within half a month and become a first-level strongman!

Although for those with sufficient qualifications, going from level zero to level one is the most basic stage of practice and is not difficult, this speed is obviously very fast.

Usage: Take orally directly.

The next second, the fire element in the air gathered slightly. After burning the note with the name of the capsule on it, Su Wei did not hesitate and put the capsule into his mouth directly on the spot.

Cultivation resources were not circulated in the market. He had no intention of taking these precious resources, which could only be obtained from the official imperial court, outside to show off.

"Yeah, it does taste like strawberry."

After swallowing it in one bite, although he was a little confused at first as to why the surface of the capsule was specially flavored with fruit, at this moment, after swallowing the capsule smoothly and feeling like he was eating a bite of dessert, Su Wei suddenly understood.

Is this the detail of the Supreme Deluxe Edition?

...really good.

After putting away the passbook and making sure that there was nothing else he had forgotten to do, Su Wei stood up and walked out of the hall.

Although he really wanted to go directly to the equipment training area to sweat and start the first training in his life, considering that he had just swallowed the capsule and the medicinal effects in it had not had time to be stored and absorbed by the body, Su Wei hesitated for a moment and decided to leave the training camp first.

Su Wei once again came to the luxurious hotel not far from the main entrance where he had stayed yesterday. He planned to book a room on the top floor first.

But the next second, when he saw a familiar figure walking out of the hotel lobby out of the corner of his eye, he was stunned for a moment, and then walked up without thinking.

"Hello, do you remember who I am?"

Su Wei smelled a strong smell of alcohol and stopped the man whose legs seemed to be trembling, with an expressionless face.

"Hmm? Who... who are you?"

The way forward was blocked, the man blinked his eyes, and was several beats slow before he looked up at Su Wei.

Then, perhaps because he had something to hide, the man suddenly froze after he staggered closer and squinted his eyes to see Su Wei's appearance clearly.

Even his originally cloudy eyes became much clearer at this moment.

"That's good. It seems you still remember me."

Taking in the man's reaction, Su Wei took a deep breath, slowly raised one hand, and supported himself on the wall behind the man.

"The original price of this flower is at most several dozen silver coins, but you put a shell on it and sold it to me for ten gold coins... I don't blame you for this. I didn't understand the market and bought it voluntarily. On the contrary, I admire your packaging skills."

She lowered her head slightly and stared closely at the man's face, which was squeezed together in fear. "But when you sold it to me, you said that the flower didn't need special care and could be kept alive by watering it normally... What's going on?"

"Why did the flower die the next day? And... I also found a lot of strange things in the soil below. Can you explain it to me?"

Looking at the man in front of him who was completely sober and trembling, Su Wei felt a nameless anger rising in his heart.

God knows, during the hospitalization, Su Wei had been worried and planned to give flowers as a gift to the princess when she visited again as the Empress of the Empire said... When he noticed that the flower suddenly died, how confused his face was.

Even later, when he was investigating the cause of Zhou Hua's death, his face was still livid. In the soil below, he found countless cigarette ashes and butts, as well as a strange ball of paper buried with something wrapped in it.

All I can say is that fortunately the princess was very busy at the time and ultimately did not go to the hospital again.

Otherwise, Su Wei wouldn't even know that once the princess accepted it and discovered something unusual later, he would have to hang himself on the tree first.

It would be fine if he was deceived, but if it affected the princess, then it would be a big deal...

The more he thought about it, the angrier Su Wei became.

Even the look he gave the flower shop owner in front of him became even gloomier.

"Calm down! Calm down first, little brother...!"

He was blocked by Su Wei in front of the hotel, with something cold and hard pressing against his waist.

Although Su Wei had not yet pulled out the thing, the man had obviously realized what it was. His face turned pale and he kept shaking his head: "I...I...By the way, after I sold the flowers to you last time, I have actually been looking for you!"

"That pot of flowers is wrong! I took it by mistake! I didn't mean to trick you! Really!"

"I'll return all that money to you now—"

As he said this, the flower shop owner reached into his pocket and started groping around.

But in the end, looking at the dozen or so silver coins trembling in the man's hand, both Su Wei and the man himself fell silent.

"...Follow me to the gendarmerie."

He let out a long breath, silently suppressing the slightly excessive emotions in his mind, and looked at the man expressionlessly: "Let's see if the laws of this empire will listen to what you just said."

"S-Stop! Please let me go, please!"

Hearing Su Wei say this, the man's face was suddenly filled with fear. His knees softened and he actually knelt down in front of Su Wei: "I went in there once last year. It's not a place for people to stay. If I go in there again this time... I would rather die!"

"Does your life or death have anything to do with me?"

"..."

Seeing that Su Wei was not buying it at all, the man who was originally in tears fell silent again.

"gone."

Su Wei glanced at him with increasing impatience: "Do you want to surrender yourself, or let the military police come to invite you?"

"Little brother, can we discuss this again?"

With a painful expression on his face, the man reached into his purse again with his right hand, fumbled around for a while, and took out a small box with beautifully packaged items.

"This is a new product in our store. It costs at least thirty gold coins each. I'm giving it to you now. Please be kind and let me go this time, okay?"

The florist held the small box in both hands and handed it to Su Wei with a sincere expression.

"..."

However, Su Wei simply slapped his hand away and carried him to the gendarmerie office.

The man was not too thin, but he was just an ordinary person who had not practiced martial arts. There was an obvious gap in strength between him and Su Wei, who had been exercising for several years, and he was completely unable to break free.

"I'm serious, little brother! Even though few people buy this, it's very expensive in our store!"

Seeing that Su Wei was not moved, the man immediately became angry and said while struggling, "Didn't you say you were going to give the flowers to an important woman last time? I'm wrong to have cheated you because you're young, but if you just go and give this to her now, no matter how big the conflict between you two was before, you will definitely be able to reconcile... No, you look so pretty, maybe it can even make our relationship better!"

"..."
