Chapter 259 The Quiet Disappearance of the Mental Defense
Almost everyone was drunk that night.
As expected, Lei Hao and Ye Bai fell drunk one after another. As they fell, they were still muttering to themselves, as if they were denouncing Su Ming.
Jiang Wanyu and Yao Beibei were also drunk.
Although the two were trying to restrain themselves, as girls of only seventeen, they could not drink much. Under the influence of the atmosphere, they accidentally drank a few glasses too much. As a result, they fell on An Zijin, with a red face and an unconscious look. If a person with bad intentions saw this scene, he would probably have bad thoughts and would involuntarily consider how to pick up the body.
Su Ming was fine. Perhaps it was because he was a senior hunter and his physique was no longer what it used to be. He had already entered an inhuman state, so he was not completely drunk.
However, as a person who was the focus of special attention, Su Ming was naturally forced to drink a lot of wine by his two bad friends. As a result, he was also a little dizzy and was not far from being drunk.
In the end, only An Zijin remained awake.
There was no way. From beginning to end, only An Zijin was really restrained and didn't drink much.
In other words, the girl's appearance of sometimes staring at Su Ming, sometimes blushing, sometimes sad, and sometimes depressed made her have no intention of drinking at all, and in the end she became the only person who remained completely sober.
But even so, the group of six would not be able to return to the academy tonight.
After all, An Zijin is a weak sorcerer and it is impossible for him to go back with five people of his age.
Because it was getting late at night, the outside became deserted as usual. No one wanted to go out on the street, and there was not even a taxi. There was no way to send Su Ming and others back.
Fortunately, this KTV has already taken measures in this regard.
Merchants who are well aware that it is not advisable to go out at night in this world naturally think of various ways to solve the problem for the sake of their own business.
This KTV is the same, with a number of guest rooms upstairs for rent to guests who are not willing to risk going home after getting drunk.
Su Ming and his companions had planned to get drunk before returning home, so they had already booked a room to rest in advance.
Then, Su Ming, who was not yet completely drunk, gloriously became a porter. He not only had to carry the two rough men who accused him back to the room, but also had to be responsible for sending the two cute school girls into the room.
This process is both enjoyable and torturous.
Enjoying naturally means enjoying the delicate bodies of two cute school girls.
Su Ming was hugging one person and carrying another on his back. The one he was hugging was Jiang Wanyu and the one he was carrying was Yao Beibei. The bitterness and pain in this process cannot be described to outsiders.
The torture was naturally caused by two bad friends.
Although Su Ming was not gentle at all and almost carried Lei Hao and Ye Bai back to the room, he was punched twice by Lei Da Shao and kicked twice by Ye Lao Da in the process, which made his method a little violent. In the end, he just threw Lei Hao and Ye Bai into the room.
After doing all this, Su Ming returned to his room dazed, lay on the bed, and didn't want to get up.
Of course, An Zijin was also traveling with them.
"Are you okay? Brother Su Ming?"
An Zijin brought a glass of water and handed it to Su Ming, with a look of deep worry on his face.
"fine."
Su Ming responded with a wry smile, took the water given by An Zijin, and drank it while shaking his heavy head, trying to stay awake.
"You've drunk too much, Brother Su Ming." An Zijin said to Su Ming in a rare reproachful tone, "You drank so much wine, but you kept drinking without stopping for even a second. It's frightening to see you."
An Zijin had indeed never seen Su Ming drink like that.
In other words, she had never seen Su Ming drinking.
So, An Zijin was actually a little scared when Su Ming drank so much today.
"There's nothing I can do." Su Ming spread his hands and said, "Those two beasts will never let me go, and they won't stop either. I can only sacrifice my life to keep them company."
After this drink, it won’t be easy to drink again.
Thinking of this, Su Mingcai really risked his life to accompany the gentleman for once. He basically accepted everything that came to him and refused to even eat any food. He just drank.
If it weren't for his extraordinary physique, he would have felt uncomfortable by now.
Fortunately, Su Ming finally defeated those two animals in drinking.
"Actually, you don't have to come along."
Su Ming looked at the girl next door standing at the head of the bed and couldn't help but say this.
But it was this sentence that made An Zijin's eyes turn red.
"If I don't come, when will I be able to see Brother Su Ming again?"
An Zijin's voice, with a hint of tears in it, made Su Ming feel a little pain in his heart.
As expected, this girl has always been concerned about her upcoming graduation and leaving the academy.
Today, this girl was unusual in that she rarely interrupted Su Ming the whole time. She followed Su Ming the whole time and looked at him silently. Although she was still as clingy as usual, she no longer had that lively and cheerful energy.
It is conceivable that Su Ming's upcoming graduation still had a significant impact on An Zijin's mood.
"Don't say that." Su Ming could only make a bitter face and said, "Even if I leave the academy, I won't disappear directly. I won't even see you in the future, right?"
Su Ming's original intention was to comfort An Zijin so that she wouldn't be too obsessed and unable to get over it.
Who would have thought, "Will he really not disappear?"
An Zijin raised his eyelids, stared at him straight, and said something that surprised Su Ming.
"I"
Su Ming was stunned.
For some reason, he felt like An Zijin had seen through him.
That's pretty much the case.
"Brother Su Ming." An Zijin looked directly at Su Ming and said, "Where are you planning to go this time?"
This is neither a question nor an exposure, but a consultation with an affirmative meaning.
This told Su Ming that An Zijin had seen through his lies.
She knew that she graduated early not because she was noticed by a strong stranger in the industry, nor because she wanted to enter the professional circle to hone herself.
The reason is simple.
"Don't underestimate your childhood sweetheart, Brother Su Ming." An Zijin said with some sadness: "Although we haven't seen each other for many years, I have always been watching you."
The implication is that others cannot tell the difference between what it is like when Su Ming tells the truth and what it is like when he lies, but An Zijin can.
Therefore, An Zijin was sure.
"Brother Su Ming has another reason for graduating early, right?"
The direct questioning caused Su Ming to fall into silence.
To be honest, he was very surprised and felt complicated.
He never knew that An Zijin knew him so well.
Behind this understanding lies the girl's attachment and infatuation with him, which has never made her take her eyes off him.
This girl next door who has been watching Su Ming knows this much about Su Ming.
Perhaps, she is not as smart as Yun Langyue, nor does she know as many secrets of Su Ming as Xu Qianqian does. However, in terms of knowing Su Ming's every move, she is definitely not something that Xu Qianqian and Yun Langyue can match.
"Tell me, Brother Su Ming."
An Zijin's voice slowly reached Su Ming's ears.
"Where are you going?"
It was just a simple sentence, but it carried such strong emotions that it directly shook Su Ming's heart.
Su Ming had to admit that this was the first time in his life that his defense was broken.
It doesn't mean that your emotions are out of control, but that you can't help but let go of your vague vigilance towards others.
As a person who traveled from a peaceful world, although Su Ming never showed it, he has actually always been slightly wary of the outside world.
This overly dangerous world has forced Su Ming to be on guard more than once, and to hide himself fully for his own personal safety.

Su Ming is clearly a person with strength that is far beyond the reach of other students, but he is willing to stay in the academy, to grow up, to be a minor role, and not be noticed by anyone. Why is this? Although he has many incredible means, he has always kept them hidden, always keeping a hand for himself, only doing things in secret, and never letting himself step into the real front. Why is this? Undoubtedly, all of this is for self-protection.
If Su Ming really exposed all the incredible things about himself, he might directly become the protagonist of this world.
But by then, he will become a hot commodity in the eyes of many people, and both good and bad intentions will be directed at him.
Su Ming is undoubtedly quite resistant to being targeted by others.
He didn't want to be treated as a hero by good people, pushed to the front line to fight against the phantom demon, and eventually end up with a heroic sacrifice. At worst, he would encounter all kinds of dangers.
He didn't want to be seen as a thorn in the eyes of evil people, and he was always on guard against the conspiracies and tricks of others, until one day he fell into the calculations of the ambitious people.
The world is so complex and full of potential dangers.
Therefore, Su Ming has always been on guard against the outside world. He would keep a hand hidden no matter when and where, leaving himself some room for a comeback.
Even when facing his parents, relatives, and friends, Su Ming never revealed anything extraordinary about himself.
This is not because he is low-key, nor because he does not want to brag and let others look at him with admiration and worship, but because he does not want to attract some bad guys one day and be calculated and targeted by others without knowing it.
Don't think this is groundless worry.
You never know, when you are the best among the crowd, there is someone among those cheering and applauding you who is madly jealous of you and hates your behavior of seeking attention.
You will never know, when you show your outstanding qualities, there may be someone watching you behind your back, thinking of using you or getting rid of you.
This is by no means a paranoid delusion or a groundless conspiracy theory, but it really exists in this world.
For this reason, even when facing the most trustworthy people, Su Ming would not show everything about himself without reservation.
Isn’t this a form of defense?
But now, this defense was torn down in one breath in front of his childhood sweetheart.
When he knew that there was someone who had been watching him, looking at him, knowing his every word and action, and silently guarding him, perhaps because he had drunk a little, or perhaps because this person was his neighbor's sister, Su Ming finally let down his long-held guard.
then--
"I'm going to Tianfeng City."
Su Ming finally told the truth to his neighbor's sister.
"Tianfeng City?"
This time, it was An Zijin's turn to be stunned.
Next, Su Ming explained everything to his neighbor's sister.
That's right, all of them.
Including the fact that he is actually a dual-professional and has been promoted to a higher level.
Including making a pseudonym called "Ming Wang" and obtaining a magical artifact called the Demon Emperor Sword.
Naturally, this also includes everything Su Ming has done during this period.
Like how he met Xu Qianqian and how they formed a cooperative relationship and transaction.
Like the involvement with the Yun family and how entangled he is with Yun Langyue.
Naturally, this also included the recent series of chaos in Longyao City, the role he played and the good things he did in it, as well as what was sealed in the Wang family ruins and how special this base city was. Su Ming told An Zijin everything almost as if he was confessing something.
The result was that Su Ming told An Zijin almost everything about himself, except that he had traveled from a parallel world and had a golden finger mall in his mind.
This was undoubtedly the first time in Su Ming's life that he told others everything about himself without any precautions, and it was also the first time that he revealed how extraordinary he was.
Perhaps, Su Ming himself has always hoped to have someone to whom he could confide without reservation like this, so he took advantage of the atmosphere and the alcohol to tell everything to the girl next door who also trusted him without reservation.
At least, after doing this, Su Ming felt more relaxed than ever before, as if all the stress and accumulated depression had been swept away.
Obviously, being on guard against the outside world all the time and hiding one's true self is also a very tiring thing for Su Ming.
He himself may not realize that he has actually accumulated a lot of pressure.
All these pressures disappeared today, at this moment, along with Su Ming's frankness to An Zijin.
On the other hand, when An Zijin was listening to Su Ming's story, he was surprised at first, then stunned, then couldn't believe it, then shocked, and finally calmed down and accepted it all silently.
"Sure enough, I knew it."
An Zijin smiled broadly at Su Ming.
"My brother Su Ming is the most powerful person in the world."
At this moment, the first thing An Zijin felt was happiness.
Happy for Su Ming's achievement.
I am happy for Su Ming's extraordinaryness.
She has always believed that Su Ming is the most powerful person in the world and a brother next door who is much better than anyone else.
This blind belief was confirmed at this moment a few days ago, and An Zijin couldn't help but feel happy and excited about it.
But after being happy, An Zijin also understood Su Ming's plan.
"So, Brother Su Ming plans to go to Tianfeng City in person in order to have more opportunities for growth, and he is willing to take many risks for this, right?"
An Zijin confirmed this.
"That's right."
Su Ming nodded.
Suddenly, An Zijin lowered his head.
