Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 133: New Edition


The next day, Sunday afternoon.

Chen Shouyi stood at the high-speed rail station exit, waiting and glancing at his watch from time to time.

He had not long returned home last night when Mrs. Chen called, saying they would arrive this afternoon. As soon as he finished lunch, he quickly rushed to the high-speed rail station.

After waiting for nearly two hours, his parents and Chen Xingyue finally came out, carrying large bags and small packages.

"Dad, Mom, Xing Yue!" Chen Shouyi called out eagerly.

"Brother!"

They had all gotten much tanner, but they looked even more spirited.

Chen Dawei refused Chen Shouyi's attempt to help with the luggage, smiling he said, "Go help your mom, didn't I say there's no need to come and pick us up?"

"I have nothing to do at home anyway."

Mrs. Chen also wanted to refuse but was intercepted by Chen Shouyi: "Mom, what's in here, it's so heavy?"

"Just some local snacks and specialties." As she spoke, Mrs. Chen complained, "Sigh, these days have thinned my legs. It's just paying to suffer!"

But seeing her radiant look, it was clear she didn't quite mean what she said.

"Brother, why don't you help me carry mine? My luggage is the heaviest, okay?" Chen Xingyue said discontentedly.

"You're a Martial Artist Apprentice, and you can't carry it?" Chen Shouyi glanced at his sister.

After a trip, she was noticeably more lively, clearly having completely moved past the previous shadows.

"Even as a Martial Artist Apprentice, I'm still a girl! No wonder you can't find a girlfriend!" Chen Xingyue huffed.

"Who says I can't?" Chen Shouyi chuckled, saying, "Your brother just hasn't found one yet!"

"Okay, you two stop arguing and be quiet," Mrs. Chen said, seeing Chen Shouyi heading straight out of the station, she couldn't help but ask, "Shouyi, aren't we getting a taxi?"

"I called a car over!"

Of course, the car was driven by Bai Xiaoling.

What's the matter with using official resources for private use?

Bai Xiaoling is his personal driver and liaison officer, isn't she?

By this time, Bai Xiaoling had long been waiting outside the car. Seeing everyone coming over, she hurriedly greeted, "Hello Uncle, Auntie, Xing Yue, you're getting prettier!"

"Oh my, Officer Bai, this is too much trouble!" Mrs. Chen said, flattered.

"We really appreciate it," Chen Dawei also said politely.

"Uncle, Auntie, it's my duty."

...

Half an hour later, the car quickly arrived at the community, and the group took their luggage and stepped out of the car.

Just at that moment, a balding, slightly overweight middle-aged man also came out of an Audi, he instinctively glanced at them, and when he saw Chen Shouyi, his expression slightly froze.

Chen Shouyi also noticed him and politely said, "Hello, Uncle?"

"Ah, hello, hello!" Song Qiran was so surprised he couldn't close his mouth.

"Shouyi, you know him?" Chen Dawei asked curiously, and Chen Xingyue and Mrs. Chen also turned to look.

"Yes, I've met him a few times, they live next door. Let me introduce, I'm Chen Shouyi, these are my parents, and this is my sister. And this is Mr. Song," Chen Shouyi introduced.

Stunned by the flood of information, Song Qiran quickly reacted: "Hello Brother Chen, hello Madam, your son is promising, and your daughter is pretty, really enviable."

"You're too kind, Mr. Song. To be honest, we just moved in not long ago, always busy with business, never got around to visiting neighbors. We wanted to find some time, but ended up going on a trip, just got back today." Being a businessman, Chen Dawei smoothly replied with these pleasantries.

"The ones who should be embarrassed are us. My wife and I leave early and return late every day, didn't even know there were new neighbors. What business are you in, Brother Chen?"

"What big business, just a small restaurant near the community entrance to make a living," Chen Dawei quickly waved his hands.

"Brother Chen, you're humble, but with a son as a Martial Artist, you should enjoy some peace!" Song Qiran complimented, then suddenly remembered something, "By the way, where do you live?"

"502, how about you?" Mrs. Chen replied.

"What a coincidence, we're next door, 503. We'll have to keep in touch more often," Song Qiran said, and just as he finished speaking, he seemed struck by lightning, suddenly freezing.

He glanced at Chen Shouyi, thinking this kid had a pretty face, easily attracting naive young girls, and recalling his daughter standing by him last night, reluctantly leaving when called.

And thinking how several times his daughter went out at night only for a minute, returning strangely. Clearly, that's not enough time to go outside.

Along with always taking so many snacks.

Everything quickly connected in his mind.

Damn it!

It was you, you punk.

No wonder he was flattered when greeted as "Uncle", and now he gnawed his teeth in secret.

Seducing my daughter, Ting Ting is only sixteen!

Still in her senior year, this beast!

If the other party wasn't a Martial Artist who could take him down with a finger, he would've punched him long ago.

"Mr. Song, are you alright?" Chen Dawei asked concerned, seeing Song Qiran's changing expressions.

Song Qiran snapped back to reality, forcing a smile, "Oh, oh, nothing... just suddenly remembered some company affairs."

Luckily, the elevator reached the fifth floor, avoiding continued awkwardness.

Song Qiran watched them open the door next door.

"We'll go inside first, unless you want to come in and sit for a bit."

"Ah, no need, no trouble," Song Qiran quickly walked a few steps to his door, sighed, and then opened the door.

Zhang Jingyi, mopping the floor, stopped and asked, "Back so soon, didn't you say there was something at the company?"

"Already dealt with!" Song Qiran collapsed onto the sofa, asking, "Where's Ting Ting?"

"In her room doing homework?" Zhang Jingyi laughed.

Song Qiran wanted to call his daughter out to sternly scold her, but after thinking for a long time, he reluctantly gave up. First, this precious daughter was always obedient, never scolded or hit her. Second, at this age, during her rebellious phase, pushing her could backfire. He could only subtly approach the topic over dinner.

But whatever happened today, she can't go out, what would that look like.

...

After dinner, Chen Shouyi returned to his room and opened his laptop.

When the boot screen appeared, he opened a webpage, planning to read the news for a while.

But as soon as he opened it, he was surprised to find a big "Fourth Set of Body Refinement Thirty-Six Forms Released" on the Baidu homepage.

Delayed for so long, the Martial Arts Bureau finally released the fourth set?

Chen Shouyi pondered then immediately clicked with his mouse.

Soon a video appeared on the screen.

No ads. After loading, the formal video started playing.

The young performer in the video looked quite raw, seeming only about fifteen or sixteen, but his movements were immaculate, each gesture had a certain charm, indicative of mastering introspection, reaching the stage of embodiment.

The other party probably is a teenage genius Martial Artist.

However, Chen Shouyi only slightly surprised, considering there are 1.6 billion people in the country (this world has no birth control), geniuses aplenty, he didn't give it much thought, continuing to watch the video.

As the video played.

Chen Shouyi couldn't help feeling a stir inside.

Isn't this set the optimized version of the Book of Knowledge?

Although not identical, with slight differences in places, their similarity exceeded ninety percent.
