Chapter 193: Chapter 129: Rage

Thousands of eyes watched as a beam of pulling light shot from the Cang Qiong above; under this traction, the four of them slowly floated up and soon entered the Cang Qiong.

“Buzz buzz buzz!”

There was another roar of the engine until the Cang Qiong had completely vanished from above the school, and the group of young people still hadn’t come back to their senses.

Tens of seconds later, people began to whisper among themselves.

“I can’t believe that Song Ting from the second class actually has a brother who’s a Torch Ship Captain.”

“What’s so special about a brother? I’ve heard her dad is a Second Rank Torch Ship Captain with an astonishingly powerful Escort Ship under his command.”

“Damn, why didn’t anyone tell me sooner? I think my future self will absolutely regret this: to think that a cushy life was right there in front of me, and I didn’t cherish it. I really should die!”

“Get lost!”

…

Aboard the Cang Qiong, the three girls couldn’t stop looking around, filled with indescribable curiosity about everything on the Cang Qiong.

Because they had not yet awakened the Seed of Torch and couldn’t control Spectral Energy, the Torch Warship had no restrictions on them who were still ordinary people.

After looking around for a while, Song Ting seemed to remember something and asked Song Chi, who was in the Main Control Room:

“Brother, did something happen at home?”

She wasn’t stupid. To have Song Chi come all the way to the school to pick her up, and with none of the teachers opposing it, was clearly not normal.

Song Chi didn’t rush to explain but said casually:

“You’ll know when we get home!”

Dropping that topic, he changed the subject:

“By the way, don’t even think about going shopping tomorrow, at least not in the morning. I have something to discuss with Xiao Xue and Xiao Jing!”

Hearing this instruction, Song Ting’s face turned bitter. Stuck in school for so long, she just wanted to take this opportunity to go out and have fun with her friends.

“What about in the afternoon?”

“No, I have to attend a gathering in the afternoon.”

Song Chi spoke with determination, but his words only piqued Song Ting’s interest even more.

“A gathering? What kind of gathering? Can the three of us go?”

Song Chi’s eyes turned as he considered for a moment before replying:

“It’s a reunion for our graduating class; are you sure you want to go?”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

Song Ting’s thought was simple. A gathering meant there would surely be a feast. She was fed up with the school’s nutritious meals, and she definitely wouldn’t pass up a big meal.

…

After dropping off Lu Xue and Wang Meng Jing at their homes, Song Chi and Song Ting also quickly returned home and then went with Song Chao and Chen Lixia to have dinner at Shen Wenjie’s house.

With their imminent departure from White Tower Floating Land, it wasn’t just Song Chi who had to deal with his own social affairs; his father, Song Chao, had to do the same.

That night, Shen Wenjie and Song Chao drank a lot and shared heartfelt conversations, having been close friends for decades.

At nine in the evening, Song Chi’s family, seen off by Shen Wenjie and his wife, got into their own Benteley Type 3 Kinetic Car, with Song Chi naturally being the driver.

To enjoy themselves, both Song Chao and Shen Wenjie had not used their Spectral Energy to dispel the effects of alcohol and were thoroughly drunk by now.

…

The next day, close to noon, Song Chi drove the Kinetic Car, picking up Song Ting, Lu Xue, and Wang Meng Jing, and then headed straight to the hotel Sun Hao had mentioned the day before.

Wensheng Hotel, in all of Jiangyuan City, wasn’t very famous. The business was just okay on normal days, but today, the hotel was several times busier than usual.

After parking the Kinetic Car in the hotel parking lot, Song Chi led the three girls into the hotel.

Led by the waiter, they made their way to the fourth floor of the hotel.

When the elevator doors opened, a large number of young and fashionably dressed figures, his classmates who had graduated with him, immediately caught his eye.

As a Torch Ship Captain who had successfully awakened the Seed of Torch and, even if their development wasn’t ideal, they were beyond comparison to ordinary people.

Stepping out of the elevator, Song Chi leisurely surveyed the fourth floor, silently observing these former classmates.

Most of these classmates had Guidance Techniques between lv4 and lv5, with a small fraction reaching lv6. As for lv7 and above, he hadn’t spotted any yet.

While assessing, a familiar greeting suddenly came from in front.

“Chi Bro, you’ve finally arrived.”

It was Sun Hao, who saw him exiting the elevator and came over, followed closely by two others.

If Song Chi remembered correctly, these two were among the sixteen who had awakened in their class.

Seeing them acting subordinate to Sun Hao, Song Chi wasn’t surprised. After all, Sun Hao was a white Torch Seed bearer, and currently one of the only three First Rank Torch Ship Captains in the first youth division; having a few followers seemed pretty normal.

To Song Chi, these details weren’t important; what mattered was that despite Sun Hao’s “status” having risen quite a bit, his attitude towards him hadn’t changed, which was evident as he still addressed him as “Chi Bro.”

“Haizi!”

“Chi Bro!”

The two men hugged each other tightly, then Sun Hao noticed Song Ting and the other two girls following Song Chi.

“Wow, such an honor, our Miss Ting is actually gracing the event!”

With that address, Miss Ting, Song Ting puffed up with pride, her fair neck lifting involitarily like a vain white swan.

“And who are these two?”

Before Song Ting could respond, Song Chi spoke up first:
