Xinghe's eyes reddened, and Master Suiyuan was both angry and anxious, jumping up and down in the underworld.
"Who is it? Is it being bullied by a ghost? Or is it something that happens in the mortal world? Is it something related to your parents?"
As soon as Master Suiyuan said it, he denied it again, "Little Star would never be sad because he can't beat someone, and now no ghost can bully our Star."
"Your parents treat you quite well."
"That is—" Master Suiyuan's eyes darted around, "Your older brothers, right?"
"Old man, I'll go find them right now!"
Master Suiyuan rolled up his sleeves.
Xinghe took his hand and quietly hugged him, leaning against him like she did when she was a child.
Xinghe shook her head. "I just miss you a little."
Master Suiyuan's heart clenched. "Can't we meet anytime? You've also set up your Yin-Yang system. If you miss your master, just send a message anytime."
Xinghe buried her head and nuzzled against his shoulder. "It's different."
"Little ancestor, what do you want your master to do? Should I also learn from you and fight my way out of the underworld? But your master doesn't have that kind of skill."
Master Suiyuan said, "I've heard that there's now a technology in the human world that can turn ashes into jewelry. Perhaps you could—"
Xinghe reached out and covered the mouth of Daoist Suiyuan, her small lips pressed tightly together. "Alright, no need to say anymore."
"What kind of monstrous idea is this?"
Xinghe was a little disgusted; that little bit of emotion came and went quickly.
She even distanced herself from the old man because she disliked him.
The old man chuckled, "Are you not sad anymore? Then talk to your master properly and tell him who wronged our little star?"
Xinghe lowered her eyes, then frowned as she looked up. "What do you think?"
Could it be me?
Xinghe nodded seriously, "Yes! You still haven't told me what you've been hiding from me, what heinous things you did with those merit points."
"Did you hear a ghost calling to me?"
"?"
Master Suiyuan made a quick getaway. "The old man next door called me to play cards, so I'm leaving now. Xingxing, you should go back to sleep too. I've asked the Earth God to put your birthday present in your room."
Xinghe, "You run really fast."
What's the point of keeping it from her? Sooner or later she'll find out what the old man is hiding from her.
As the Milky Way returned to the mortal realm, the first thing I saw was the box on the table.
Besides what Master Suiyuan left her, the local deities also prepared birthday gifts for her.
Xinghe's birthday has passed, but her enthusiasm for unwrapping gifts has not waned.
She opened the birthday gift the old man had prepared for her; it was handwritten, containing the Three Officials' Blessing Mantra and the Four Imperial Masters' Compassionate Blessing Mantra.
It carries a faint magical energy; frequent contact with it is beneficial to the human body.
After the old man died, his soul could no longer bear the magical power. It's easy to imagine how much effort he put into writing these things.
Xinghe's eyes softened little by little as she hung the things on the headboard.
The soil sent by the local deities is the most fertile soil collected from all over the world. After being processed by them, it becomes the best soil for all plants.
Xinghe liked both the vines in her hands and the golden boy very much.
The Milky Way divided a portion of its territory, allowing the vines and the golden boy to play freely.
Addicted to unwrapping gifts, Xinghe simply opened all the other unopened ones as well.
When Wang Ma and the others were packing, they also moved the gifts to this manor.
The manor's area is no smaller than that of the Sheng family's estate.
Because it was a castle built specifically for Xinghe, almost all the rooms were prepared for him.
Xinghe found the room where the gifts were kept and sat down in the pile of gifts to open them.
Xinghe loves every single item.
Xinghe reached out and touched a small box.
There was no signature, and there were too many things, so Xinghe couldn't remember who sent them for a moment.
She opened it and saw that it was something like a USB flash drive.
"USB flash drive? Who gave it to you?"
Xinghe couldn't figure it out.
She took the USB drive out, put it in the media room, and started playing it.
The figure of Sheng Laosan appeared on the screen.
Sheng Laosan sat in front of the camera, holding his guitar, looking a little uncomfortable.
"On your birthday, I don't know what to give you, so I'll just send you a song I wrote myself to wish you a happy birthday."
As soon as the guitar riff began, Xinghe turned off the big screen with a blank expression.
She doesn't like them at all.
She doesn't need them to like her.
No way.
They already knew Sheng Yue's place in their hearts, so it was only right that they chose Sheng Yue without hesitation.
We agreed not to pay them any attention.
It's fine to just be strangers.
She didn't like them at all; she was a little unhappy and aggrieved, all because of her master.
Yes, that's it.

Xinghe stayed home with Ye Ning and Sheng Xiuwen for a few days.
The brothers tried to come in, but Ye Ning chased them away.
Ye Ning was serious this time, showing no mercy whatsoever.
The brothers didn't seem to be in good condition, but Xinghe noticed and didn't ask.
The school called Xinghe this morning.
The global competition is about to begin, and Xinghe's submission has been approved.
In the next few days, Xinghe needs to make some preparations in advance.
Three students from University A participated in the competition, Xinghe was one of them, and the other two were her seniors.
The school said that a teacher would accompany them on the way and asked Xinghe if the time was convenient.
Xinghe was different from the other students. People at the school knew Xinghe's identity better than others, and Xinghe did some important things.
Compared to those things, math competitions seem insignificant, which is why the school asked that question.
If Xinghe has something to do and can't go, they will understand.
Xinghe returned to the school and said that she was fine and could leave at any time.
The teachers at the school in charge of this competition were overjoyed.
They quickly replied that Xinghe had confirmed everything was fine and they could book the tickets. However, time was a bit tight, and there weren't enough first-class tickets available, so the teacher had reserved the first-class tickets for Xinghe and his group.
He went to fly economy class by himself.
There were four people in the group, with Teacher Liu traveling alone in economy class.
Xinghe stated that she is a student who respects her teachers and would never do such a thing.
She asked Ye Ning and Sheng Xiuwen for help, applied for flight routes, and then sent a message to Teacher Wu, who was in charge of the competition.
I told him about it.
Teacher Wu was in a daze.
I almost forgot, besides his impressive status, Xinghe also comes from an impressive family.
They really hit the jackpot at A University, hahaha.
"Then I'll hitch a ride on Xian-Xinghe's plane."
"You're too kind, teacher. Is nine o'clock tomorrow morning okay?"
"Of course, I'll contact the other two classmates. Don't worry, you guys focus on preparing for the competition, and leave the rest of the trivial matters to me. You can tell me anything if you need anything."
"The temperature in country A, where we are participating, is around 10 degrees Celsius during this period. Xinghe, please remember to prepare your clothes and keep warm. This trip will last about ten days in total, and I will be in charge of the whole process. You can call me if anything happens."
