Is It Too Late to Leave the Chat Group?

“Hehe! I even deliberately ate less before I came to mooch off your fugu feast!” Mo Qingtong did not feel embarrassed at all.

“Alright, alright. I’ll get you a pair of chopsticks. Elder Sister Raven, come try as well?” Chen Heng brought out two pairs of chopsticks from the kitchen. He handed one to Mo Qingtong and proffered the other to Raven.

“There’s no need.”

“Nom! Nom! It is quite tasty. Little Heng, tell me, how come you can cook so well after learning for just a few days, and my mother’s cooking still tastes so strange despite having learned for so many years?”

“This… To tell the truth, Aunty’s knife skills and fire control are very good. It’s just her usage of seasoning that cannot be praised. You know she is the culinary equivalent of tone-deaf. Furthermore, Uncle Mo and you dare not say anything. That’s right. Remember to do the dishes after you are done eating.”

Sirin did not feel anything when seeing that elder sister called Mo Qingtong eat the fugu feast her elder brother made for her. As she sat on the sofa, she even felt like laughing. In the end, you are just eating Elder Brother and my leftovers. How pathetic!

Chen Heng found that aside from himself, Sirin had no interest in speaking to others. He wanted to help her change this introverted nature and did not know where to start.

Send Sirin to school? That was doable but pointless. It was almost the end of the school year. After sending her to school for ten days, he would have to take the college entrance exams. After that, he would bring Sirin to various places to sightsee and relax. How could there be time to send her to middle school?

Furthermore, Sirin was currently 14 years old, about the age for second year in middle school. Children of that age often formed cliques and excluded those not from their cliques. If she transferred in at this moment, she would likely be excluded. What would happen if she got bullied and that formed a psychological trauma? Chen Heng would probably send down a few meteors.

[TL Note: China follows an education system where you have six years of grade school starting at age six, three years of middle school, and three years of high school. Here is the Wikipedia entry on the Chinese education system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_China.]

The main reason was that Sirin’s memories were sealed right now. She was as pure as a piece of white paper. If she were already the Herrscher of the Void, Chen Heng would not worry about sending her to school. She would go, Huh? Bully me? It’s judgment time!

This was a little hard on Sirin. Before taking the college entrance exams, Chen Heng could only leave her at home alone.

Huh? That’s right. Chen Heng suddenly recalled, Vast Sea City First High School has a rule that allows students to apply for leave to self-study at home before the college entrance exam. This is a good solution.

What about the college entrance exams? Did Chen Hen need to worry about it? After all, he even knew the questions… This is a good solution. I will go and discuss this with the class adviser. If that goes well, I can spend this entire month accompanying Sirin. Furthermore, there are fewer people sightseeing now. I can bring her around.

In the days leading up to the college entrance exams, the Vast Sea City First High School teachers had already stopped teaching, as they had completed the curriculum. All that remained was a war with practice questions; they frantically set all sorts of mock exams.

“That’s right. Qingtong, have you considered applying for self-study at home before the college entrance exams?”

“Huh? Apply to self-study? No. My parents won’t agree to it. They feel that I am more effective at school. Otherwise, they would not have moved to this house nearer to school. Of course, they also hired tutors for me. However, my parents feel that aside from gaining knowledge in school, there are opportunities to interact with people of the same age too.” When Mo Qingtong heard Chen Heng asking her a question, she put her chopsticks down.

------

In the end, Mo Qingtong did not do the dishes; Raven did them for her.

After the two left, Chen Heng and Sirin remained. He felt it would not be good for her eyes if she just played with her phone and computer. However, he did not know what he could do with her.

After thinking for some time, he decided to teach Sirin something that she could use to protect herself with.

He could not teach her the Chen Clan cultivation method, as one could not become a cultivator without the ancestral crystal. In reality, a martial artist still had not broken through the limits of a human, so he felt that it would not be very useful for her.

Thus, Chen Heng decided to teach Sirin the Void Sword God—just joking. Although the association’s store did sell the Void Sword God, he did not intend to practice it or teach it to Sirin. Be more reasonable. It was normal for peak sword immortals in Chen Heng’s world to explode a star with just their bodies. Wasn’t that much better than the Void Sword God?

[TL Note: The Void Sword God is a sword technique mentioned in the Honkai Impact series’ backstories. Some places translate it as the Taixu Sword God. The sword technique is taught in Fu Hua’s sect, and she and her disciple know it.]

Indeed, Chen Heng had not reached the level of a sword immortal. Furthermore, he did not have the ancestral crystal and could not change to a sword immortal’s cultivation technique. However, that did not mean he did not have other sword immortal cultivation techniques besides the Chen Clan Cultivation Technique.

Back when the Chen Clan’s ancestral crystal got stolen, the Ji Clan sent several sets of sword immortal cultivation techniques and immortal cultivation techniques to Chen Heng. After all, Chen Heng had half the Ji Clan’s bloodline, considered one of them. The Ji Clan was a prominent clan and did not care about these cultivation techniques. Furthermore, these were not the Ji Clan’s exclusive, hereditary cultivation techniques, so there was no problem giving them away. After all, no one would use them if they remained in storage.

Objectively speaking, these cultivation techniques were pretty good. However, the Chen Clan Cultivation Technique was extremely domineering. After cultivating it, one could not adopt another cultivation technique. Hence, these cultivation techniques had been left in Chen Heng’s spatial storage collecting dust, not that spatial storages had dust.

As for whether handing Sirin a cultivation technique would ruin the storyline? Chen Heng did not care. Can’t I teach Sirin some skills to protect herself with?

The world consciousness will feel upset? Well, come over and beat me up if you can.

Actually, as Sirin was not a Dimension Administrators Association member, Chen Heng had no means of transmigrating to Honkai Impact 3rd’s world without the world consciousness issuing a mission. Even if she grew stronger than before, she still would not escape the trajectory of her fate.

“Sirin, come here. I’ll teach you something.”

“What?”

“A cultivation technique.”

“Cultivation technique? What’s that?”

“Sirin, don’t you like the rollercoaster? You can fly freely in the sky if you learn this cultivation technique.”

“Oh! Elder Brother is talking about those immortal cultivation techniques that would make one very powerful in those fantasy novels, right?”

“That’s right. Do you want to learn?” It looked like Sirin had not been playing with her phone or computer for nothing.

“I do!”

“Very good. Come to the basement with me.” Chen Heng led Sirin to the basement. There was nothing there, so he did not have to worry about it getting messy.
