Chapter 216 DemiG.o.d Burial

Their mother answered the call right away. Su Lingyue made up a quick excuse to ask her to go to the pet shop.

A moment after, Li Qingru showed up at the shop on hurried steps and threw Su Ping a worried glance, only to see her son sitting there just fine.

“Lingyin? Didn’t you say that your brother got injured? Something hit his head??”

“Oh, well… He just came to.” Su Lingyue didn’t look embarra.s.sed at all.

Su Ping rolled his eyes after finding out about his sister’s terrible lie.

Since his family was finally there with him, he was less concerned about whether the unknown enemies would bother him or his family first. He a.s.sumed that the evildoer would soon find out everything about a poor family if they wanted, including his name and where he worked. They probably had no reason to go after his family first.

“What’s going on here?” Li Qingru looked at her children and demanded.

Su Ping also tried thinking of an excuse since he couldn’t tell his mother about the danger he was in.

“Eh, mom? I’m planning to expand the shop a little. It’s… well, important, so I hope you can come and maybe give me some advice.” “Expand the shop?”

Su Lingyue grew impatient and moved somewhere her mother couldn’t see, before she told Su Ping to prepare their escape plan as fast as possible using eye contact. In her view, they had to make their getaway fast, rather wasting time talking about this small shop.

Overhauling the shop sounded costly. Though she then believed that her brother had enough money for it after seeing him spending merit points like crazy.

However, this wasn’t the time for that.

All of her moves were met with Su Ping’s complete nonchalance.

But weren’t you driving like a drunk just now?? She madly protested without any sound. What’s next??

Unfortunately, she had no idea that Su Ping’s “safe house” was right there, at the shop.

To Su Ping, this place was the safest in the whole world right at the moment. There was no point in wandering outside.

But… they couldn’t live there together because it wouldn’t be comfortable for three people to live in such a small s.p.a.ce. Not to mention that there were a lot of things he didn’t want to show his family, such as why he would often vanish into cultivation planes and pop back up again.

To expand the shop was not entirely a lie-he needed it to accommodate his mother and sister.

Money wasn’t an issue at all since he had enough funds to buy this entire street for his own use. More so, doing this meant putting the whole place under the system’s administration, by which time he could simply prepare another house for his family to live in, while the system would take care of any trespa.s.sers with bad intentions.

“But how would you—” Unlike Su Pingyue, Li Qingru didn’t think Su Ping had earned enough income for such a big plan. “I can take care of the money problems, mom.” Su Ping feigned a proud look. “You only need to sit here and um, help me keep an eye on things.”

Li Qingru didn’t protest. She was ready to stop Su Ping from making any silly adjustments to the building. Su Lingyue was so anxious about the situation that she finally spoke out, “Are you sure it’s time for this stuff??”.

“I know what I’m doing.”

Su Lingyue saw her brother’s serious look and chose to trust him for now. “You… mean to revamp the shop, like, right now?”

“That is correct.”

“But how?”

“I’ll find help.”

“Who can help us?”

“Professionals, of course.”

As he explained, Su Ping opened the main settler website on his computer, found the “lodging” tab, and began checking several business holders meant to help settlers with rents and housing affairs. Most of the time, those who did business with settlers were pretty reliable.

Li Qingru couldn’t see what her son was doing from her position. “Hold on, dear, we need to carefully plan ahead. You can’t just look for companies you don’t know well on the Internet. I can help you ask around, you know.”
