At three o'clock the next morning, the return plane finally brought You Chu back to the airport in Blue City.
Blue City was the city where You Chu lived after his rebirth.
The authorities were quite concerned about the placement of their victims. The return flight was officially arranged, even the arrangements of a car to send him home.
When he got out of the car and returned to the entrance of his neighborhood, it was not yet four o'clock.
Darkness still dominated. The lights of the city reflected the sky in warm tones. A faint dawn was waking.
Even though it was early in the morning, he could still see the light coming from his window from the bottom of the building. As he followed the stairs to the door, he could hear the faint sound of a television coming from inside.
Taking a deep breath, You Chu fumbled for his key and opened the door.
Two faces filled with worry and anticipation immediately came into view.
That was You Chu's parents.
His father's name was You Xiangyang, and his mother's name was Mo Shiyu.
It was similar to the image of his parents he remembered, but much younger.
You Chu's parents had passed away early in his previous life, and many of his memories were already a little blurry. Now that he had been reborn in another world, when he saw his closest relatives who had long left him in his previous life in person and saw the concern in their eyes, You Chu felt a wave of sadness.
"… I'm back," he said.
You Xiangyang pulled him into her arms without a word and patted his back.
"It's good to be back."
"…"
Actually, before You Chu returned, the relevant parties had already contacted You Chu's parents to inform them of the relevant situation. You Chu had also called them to inform them that he was safe. Therefore, they already had a rough idea of You Chu's thrilling journey.
But he only had a general idea.
So You Chu tried his best to avoid the main point and described the circumstances of his journey. He tried his best to describe the situation as not as dangerous as it could have been, and only briefly explained what had happened.
From the moment he entered, You Xiangyang and Mo Shiyu noticed the girl swordsman behind him.
Because he couldn't take back the card vault, Light Swordsman, Moonlight followed You Chu the entire time. Her small and exquisite face was expressionless, and she didn't make any sound the entire time. She was like a ruthless bodyguard killing machine.
However, her temperament was too special. She had extremely good looks that could single-handedly destroy the entire street. Coupled with her white armor and sword, she attracted a lot of attention on the way home even in the middle of the night.
However, ever since she appeared, she had been silent. It was unknown if she was unable to speak or unwilling to speak.
If not for the fact that she was very obedient to You Chu's orders, You Chu was not even sure if she could understand him.
When You Chu introduced that this "Light Swordsman, Moonlight" was the first spell card in his life, You Xiangyang and Mo Shiyu were overjoyed. With this card, he had officially broken through to become a Summoner. Moreover, at the critical moment, it was Moonlight who had stood up to save him.
From now on, their son would also be a Summoner!
You Chu's family was not considered wealthy. But in any case, You Xiangyang and Mo Shiyu had never been stingy in their education of You Chu—even more so after You Chu was tested to have the talent of a Summoner.
Now, as they looked at their son—a true Summoner, a man they had never been able to reach in their lives—they felt that everything had been worth it.
At this thought, they sized up Moonlight seriously.
They already knew that not only was this spell spirit called "Light Swordsman, Moonlight" their son's first priority, but their son's safe return was largely thanks to her. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was his savior.
The female swordsman drew back her belly and puffed out her chest, her hand on the hilt of her sword like a straight flagpole.
"She's very handsome." You Xiangyang held back a comment for a long time.
You Chu was speechless.
Part of him wanted to say, Dad, your focus is wrong, isn't it?
She's a spell spirit, not a wife. My purpose is to duel, not to warm the bed. Shouldn't your focus be on the combat power panel and skill effects?
She was quite handsome!
However, he could understand. After all, his parents were ordinary people and did not know much about spell spirits.
The serious but confused look on their faces reminded You Chu of the expression of a friend's mother when she saw a wall of figurines.
His friend's mother was puzzled. "Hey, son, why aren't you wearing any clothes?"
His friend was speechless.
You Chu coughed and continued his story.
It wasn't until he said that they had been rescued by the sheriff's office and that Luo Qing had extended an olive branch to him that You Xiangyang couldn't help but interrupt him.
"Wait a minute." You Xiangyang suspected that he had misheard. "You said she invited you to… Jiangdu Summoner University?"
"Yeah." You Chu nodded.
"…That top school in Jiangdu?"
"Could there be another school with that name?"
"Really!?"
Mo Shiyu cupped his son's face.
"You're not kidding, are you!?"
"I haven't decided yet. She only said that she can help me get a spot in a competition organized by Jiangdu University. Whether I can get in or not depends on me…"
Even so, You Xiangyang and his wife were already pleasantly surprised.
"We have to seize this opportunity!" Mo Shiyu said.
His mother didn't need to emphasize that You Chu had intended to do just that.
Not only was he planning to get in, but he was also thinking about the five million yuan.
Although this goal seemed a little difficult to achieve at this stage, but what if?
People have to dream, don't they?
After explaining the situation, it was almost dawn.
After such a long time, You Chu was finally home. He was already exhausted. Actually, his eyelids were twitching as he spoke. He didn't want to do anything now. He just wanted to rush into the soft bed and sleep.
It was obvious that You Xiangyang and his wife had not rested well either. The two of them had not slept since they learned that their son was out there—even if You Chu called back to report that he was safe.
They had been up all night and it was only now that their son entered the room that their tense nerves relaxed.
Mo Shiyu was a kindergarten teacher. She was on vacation during the summer vacation, so she could go back and catch up on her sleep.
However, You Xiangyang was suffering. He had stayed up all night and could only take a nap. He still had to go to work later.
When You Chu returned to his room, he slept for eight hours. When he woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.
You Chu sat up lazily in bed and opened his sleepy eyes. The first thing he saw was the girl in the corner of the room.
Moonlight sat quietly in the pure white sunlight, her eyes closed as if she were resting.
You Chu felt that there was reason to believe that she might have been sitting in this position for the past eight hours, watching him toss and turn in bed.
You Chu was lost in thought.
If she followed him the entire time, it would feel strange to wear such armor and carry a sword…
Thinking of this, You Chu casually asked, "By the way, can you take off your equipment?"
Moonlight tilted her head. Then, she silently put down the sword in her hand and prepared to take off her armor without a word…
"Wait, stop!" You Chu quickly stopped her. "I'm just asking. Don't take it off yet!"
