Mrs. Su sighed quietly and said, “We’re fine with Su Xue’er making friends since she likes doing that. But I’m definitely not going to allow a poor student like you near my daughter since you actually wanted to confess in public and dreamt of latching onto Xue’er.”

Gu Qingshan looked up and said, “That was Zhang Ye—”

Mrs. Su cut him off. “The Bais were the ones who arranged that incident with Zhang Ye, but so what? The Bai family was annoyed with you long ago since you were always hanging around Su Xue’er all day.”

She continued in a more severe tone, “I had thought of allowing Xue’er to mix around with people from all walks of life so that she could get to see different sorts of people, but now, even I can’t stand it anymore.”

Gu Qingshan asked, “What is it that you cannot stand?”

Mrs. Su looked at Gu Qingshan with a completely calm face.

“It’s my daughter’s birthday next week. Bai Hongyu has given her a resort island worth more than 80,000,000 credit points. And you? That pitiful mecha model?”

Her voice was flat and stable, without even a tinge of emotion.

“You eavesdropped on our conversation?” Gu Qingshan narrowed his eyes for the first time but still tried to explain himself, “That’s not a mecha mode—”

“Enough. It doesn’t matter what stunts you pull, and whatever you’re giving her isn’t important anymore,” Mrs. Su cut him off with an expressionless face.

She stood up and looked down at the young man in front of her.

“I forgot to mention, my daughter has already discovered she has one of the Peculiar Five Elements and will develop the Spirit Power of Wind.”

Gu Qingshan looked up with a start and he was pleasantly surprised.

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth were the Positive Five Elements, while Wind, Thunder, Light, Darkness, Sound were the Peculiar Five Elements.

The Spirit Power of Wind was not bad at all and very useful. It was a superpower that many people dreamt of having.

In his previous life, Su Xue’er had eventually discovered and developed the Spirit Power of Wind, but that only happened two years later.

This time she had actually discovered it earlier, so it was a good thing.

Because the earlier someone with Extraordinary Elemental Arts discovered their ability, the greater their potential to mature and develop their element became.

Mrs. Su leaned forward a little and looked at Gu Qingshan as she asked, “What are you happy about? Don’t you feel that the difference between the two of you is even greater now?”

“If you don’t have any comparable ability, then don’t go after something that you shouldn’t get. That would cause you to fall from a greater height, and you might even lose your life in the process.”

“This is a piece of advice I will give you as the mistress of the Su Family, and this will also serve as a warning.”

She didn’t look at Gu Qingshan anymore. She elegantly turned and started to walk out of the pavilion with quick steps.

After settling this small matter, she had to rush to attend the banquet. This was a banquet hosted by the Su family, after all, and the mistress of the house had to go and host it.

“Mrs. Su, wait a moment.”

Gu Qingshan’s voice came from behind her.

Mrs. Su turned and looked at him coldly.

Gu Qingshan stood up and said, “I have to tell you something.”

“Say it.”

Gu Qingshan started, “I respect some of the opinions that you have.”

Mrs. Su looked at him, and there was a faint smile on her face.

So this young fellow was going to back off?

So he was a clever boy who knew how to behave at the right time after all.

That wasn’t a bad thing.

Those were Mrs. Su’s thoughts, but Gu Qingshan cleared his throat and spoke seriously, “Since the ancient days, besides the Extraordinary Elemental Arts, Martial Artists and Chosen Ones have also been considered heroes of this world.”

He touched a part of his body and pulled out a bow from nowhere.

Then, an arrow appeared in his hand seemingly out of nowhere too.

Mrs. Su’s heart tightened when she saw this.

Someone had already searched him secretly several times before this young fellow could reach the island and had confirmed that he didn’t bring any weapons with him.

But he had actually managed to pull a bow and arrow out from the air.

He couldn’t be faking it; what sort of power was this?

Was he a Chosen One who could materialize things?

If that was so, then he was rarer than most others now.

Mrs. Su slowly went through these thoughts as her heart suddenly tightened even more.

There were people guarding her from afar, but since this boy had materialized a bow and arrow at such a close distance to her, he could just kill her right now.

“What are you trying to say?” Mrs. Su asked in a low voice.

Before she could finish her question, she suddenly saw a blur in front of her as a sharp and shrill noise rang out.

That was the sound of an arrow rubbing against the air at an extremely high speed.

What a fast arrow!

As the wife of the Su family’s eldest son, Mrs. Su wasn’t an ordinary person either, and she could see that the arrow had flown out from Gu Qingshan’s hand.

She watched as the arrow flew out in an arc, went one round around the pavilion, and then finally landed back neatly in Gu Qingshan’s hand.

It was a perfect shot!

What sort of archery technique was this?!

All the guards who had come rushing over from around Mrs. Su were all stunned by what they saw.

Gu Qingshan shook his hands gently, and the longbow and arrow disappeared together.

He placed his hands behind his back and quietly said, “Mrs. Su, I think there are some things that you could reconsider.”

“I take my leave.”

He turned and left the pavilion.
