Who says I can't become a Grand Master?

Chapter 154 [Old Tentacles] Card

Chapter 155 [Old Tentacles] Card (Combined Chapter)

He held the card up to the light and glanced at the information on it:

Card Name: Old Tentacle

[Rank: Lv.3]

[Effect: Summons tiny tentacles from the unspeakable abyss.]

[Warning: Excessive use may lead to mental instability.]

Zhang Qingzhe gasped!

This was the first time he had ever seen a card with a warning message.

This card seems a bit risky, but its performance in the previous battle was quite effective.

Zhang Qingzhe hesitated for a moment.

He carefully slipped the ominous card deep into his card pack.

What do a few dangers matter when something is "easy to use and practical"?

Then, Zhang Qingzhe took out his phone and made a call to Xia Qiwei.

The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.

"Professor, something's happened to me," Zhang Qingzhe said bluntly. "The situation is a bit urgent."

"You're so annoying! It's the weekend, I'm not working!"

Xia Qiwei's voice was almost a shout, with a noisy background.

The deafening music, people's laughter, and the clinking of glasses mingled together.

She appears to be in a lively bar.

"But this is very important." Zhang Qingzhe lowered his voice and spoke faster, "I just—killed two people."

"What?!"

Then, Zhang Qingzhe heard the sound of a wine bottle being accidentally kicked over on the other end of the phone.

Then came Xia Qiwei's hurried footsteps.

The background noise quickly diminished, and she seemed to have moved to a relatively quiet place.

"Who did you kill?" Xia Qiwei's voice became serious and clear.

"Two members of the Deadpool organization."

"You really have a knack for being connected with the Deadpool organization," Shakira said with a hint of helpless teasing.

Zhang Qingzhe also felt that this was indeed the case.

Since he learned of the Deadpool organization's existence, six members have died because of him.

"Anyway, Professor, what should we do now?" Zhang Qingzhe asked. "Should I call the police?"

"Don't get involved in this matter, and don't call the police."

Xia Qiwei's tone was decisive.

"You're still a student, and your first priority is to finish your studies. It's best to avoid getting involved in this kind of thing as much as possible."

"So what do we do now? Those two guys are still lying in the alley."

Send me the specific address.

Xia Qiwei decisively ordered, "The Witch Sisters will take over this matter."

"Oh—thank you, Professor."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Xia Qiwei's tone softened slightly, "I am your master, so of course I have to take full responsibility."

After making the call, Zhang Qingzhe suddenly felt something in his heart.

Having a master who is a "great witch" is quite lucky.

Although this guy is usually quite unserious.

But when it really matters, she really helps!

Zhang Qingzhe let out a long sigh of relief.

He sent his location to Xia Qiwei, and then walked back the way he came towards the alley entrance.

A golden light shone from the alley entrance, like a white wall, suddenly hitting his eyes.

He squinted unconsciously.

The newly grown, pale skin on my left arm stung slightly under the scorching sun.

The deathly silence in the alley behind us was shattered in an instant.

The sounds of car horns, music emanating from shops, and the indistinct laughter and chatter of the crowd—

All the noise from the commercial street merged into a huge torrent, rushing into his ears all at once.

The pungent smell of blood that had just filled my nostrils was quickly replaced by the aroma of baking wafting from the bakery on the street corner.

People dressed in brightly colored dresses walked past him, chatting and laughing.

A child's colorful balloon suddenly slipped from his hand and floated wobblingly into the azure sky.

The world is vibrant and noisy, like a life-or-death struggle in a dark alley, but it's just a hazy nightmare.

Zhang Qingzhe stood there swaying for a while before finally getting used to the dizziness.

The gleaming glass revolving door of the gray-white building not far away suddenly spun open gracefully.

Several well-dressed ladies walked out side by side, chatting and laughing.

Two of the pretty girls inadvertently caught sight of Zhang Qingzhe standing at the alley entrance.

Their gazes paused noticeably for a moment, revealing undisguised admiration.

These two beautiful older sisters.

A woman with shoulder-length wavy hair, the ends of which casually draped over her shoulders.

The other one was taller, with her glossy black hair styled in a bun, revealing the graceful lines of her neck.

The two exchanged a glance, then walked toward him without saying a word.

Excuse me.

The woman with brown curly hair spoke first, her voice as soft as melting chocolate.

"I noticed you earlier, all alone here—did something happen to you?"

Her eyes were filled with concern as she looked Zhang Qingzhe up and down.

The older sister with her hair up is more direct.

Her rosy lips curled up slightly, forming a somewhat alluring curve.

"It's rare to see such a handsome face outside the company. Are you waiting for someone? Or—"

Zhang Qingzhe quickly suppressed his anger and put on a clean smile.

"Thank you for your concern, but I'm fine."

Zhang Qingzhe paused for a moment, looked up at the gray-white building, and naturally changed the subject.

"Actually, I wanted to ask what this building is for? Are you employees there?"

The two beautiful older women exchanged a smile, their smiles tinged with amusement.

"So, this is what you're interested in?"

The woman with brown curly hair leaned forward slightly, and a faint scent of cologne emanated from her.

"How about I buy you a coffee? We can chat while we drink. We know there's a really good shop around here."

The woman with black hair and glasses added at the opportune moment, her gaze softening as she looked at Zhang Qingzhe's face: "Yes, it's not very convenient to talk standing here."

Zhang Qingzhe bit his lip, a slight hesitation creeping in.

Just then, the building's glass revolving doors began to slowly rotate once again.

Zhang Lingyue and Su Nianxi, the younger sisters, walked out of the room side by side.

The younger sister still looked a little tired from work, but when her gaze inadvertently swept across the street corner, she suddenly froze.

She saw her brother.

And the two mature and beautiful 0L ladies beside him.

My little sister's fair face instantly went from sunny to cloudy.

Her pupils contracted slightly, and she paused for a moment.

She turned her head almost instinctively, pretending not to see anything.

In this situation, especially with Su Nianxi present, she absolutely did not want to go over and acknowledge her brother.

That's so embarrassing!

Moreover, Su Nianxi's mouth can never be closed.

If she were the only one to find out, it would be the same as letting the whole high school know.

However, her feet seemed to be glued to the spot.

His gaze drifted uncontrollably in that direction, especially fixed on the long-haired older sister, who was almost touching his brother's arm at that intimate distance.

Her brows furrowed involuntarily, and her pink lips pressed into a stubborn straight line.

"Hmm? Lingyue, what are you looking at? Why aren't you moving?"

Su Nianxi, who was chattering away, looked in the direction of her gaze with a puzzled expression.

The next second, Su Nianxi's eyes lit up, as if she had discovered some rare treasure.

"Wow! That guy over there—he's so handsome! He looks like a movie star. Wait, it looks like he's being hit on?"

She observed the scene of "two women and one man" with great interest.

His large, dark eyes were filled with excitement and curiosity.

She even gently tugged at her sister's sleeve, her voice laced with encouragement.

"Is this what adult romance is like? Let's take a closer look."

My sister's heart tightened suddenly.

She instinctively wanted to grab Su Nianxi's arm and turn to leave in the opposite direction.

"There's nothing to see here. Wandering around in a place like this, and flirting with strange women, he's definitely not a decent man."

Let's go quickly—"

But it was too late for her to act.

Zhang Qingzhe's gaze passed over the shoulders of the two 0L sisters and landed precisely on the younger sister.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

He caught a glimpse of panic in his sister's eyes, and a hint of resistance in them.

Almost instantly, he understood his sister's thoughts: she didn't want to acknowledge him, her brother, here in front of her friends.

So Zhang Qingzhe could only stand quietly in place, without shouting or making any waving gestures.

He simply watched his sister leave with eyes as calm as an icy lake.

There was no blame or urging in his eyes, only an unyielding worry.

The two 0L sisters keenly noticed that Zhang Qingzhe was distracted.

They followed his gaze and immediately spotted two vibrant high school girls not far away.

The two exchanged a quick glance, alarm bells ringing in their minds.

—Does this handsome young man prefer young and fresh girls?

"Um, the coffee shop is just around the corner, shall we go there now?"

The older sister with brown curly hair immediately took action.

Her smile remained unchanged, but she naturally took a step forward, extending her fair arm as if to gently take Zhang Qingzhe's arm.

As she moved, she deliberately puffed out her chest, trying to use the advantages of a mature woman's curves to distract Zhang Qingzhe.

Another girl also sprang into action, trying to support Zhang Qingzhe from the other side.

The two girls were like well-trained hunters, working together seamlessly to hunt down a rare beast.

But in that very instant...

"elder brother!

'

A crisp, urgent shout shattered the subtle, ambiguous atmosphere at the street corner.

My sister couldn't hold back in the end.

As she watched her brother being carried away, a strange sense of grievance welled up inside her, like a flood bursting its banks, instantly shattering her facade.

She shouted it out.

The sound was louder than she had expected.

Zhang Qingzhe was slightly taken aback.

Then, a faint smile flickered in those calm eyes.

It was as if they had been waiting for this moment.

He nodded calmly to Sister 0L, his gentle voice still calm: "Sorry, my sister is calling me."

Zhang Qingzhe naturally stepped aside from the two ladies and walked towards his sister.

The two 0L ladies immediately looked embarrassed, their smiles freezing on their faces.

Especially the woman with her hair up, whose outstretched hand was still awkwardly hanging in mid-air.

Taking it back is not an option, nor is leaving it.

"Ah—it's my younger sister."

They gave an awkward laugh and quickly adjusted their expressions.

She regained her professional composure, but her smile looked somewhat forced: "Then I won't bother you siblings any longer, goodbye."

The two women, as if fleeing some kind of disaster, quickly left in their high heels.

Meanwhile, Su Nianxi covered her mouth with both hands in surprise.

His eyes were wide open, like two dark grapes.

"Brother, brother?!"

Su Nianxi's voice suddenly rose eight octaves, filled with disbelief.

She grabbed Zhang Lingyue's arm tightly and shook it violently.

"This...this is your brother?! Zhang Lingyue! Didn't you say he was just average-looking, had a terrible temper, and always bossed you around like an old man, and that you hated him?! Zhang Lingyue! You completely fooled me!! How is he average? He's clearly a super handsome guy!"

My sister's face was so red it looked like it was about to bleed.

Half of it was because her best friend publicly exposed the "lies" that "slandered" her brother.

The other half was due to his own completely impulsive shout just now.

She dared not look at her brother, who had already walked up to her and was looking at her with calm eyes.

Embarrassed and annoyed, the younger sister could only quietly move her hand down and quickly and accurately pinch the soft flesh on Su Nianxi's side.

"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense!"

Caught off guard, Su Nianxi let out a soft "hmm" as she was pinched.

Zhang Qingzhe's gaze swept calmly over his younger sister's slightly red and adorable ear tips.

"Finished work? How are you feeling? Tired?"

Zhang Qingzhe asked very casually, as if it were just a commonplace expression of concern.

The younger sister lowered her head, her eyelashes trembled, and her voice was barely audible.

"It's alright—not tiring."

"It's not just okay!"

Su Nianxi immediately picked up the conversation lively, seemingly having completely forgotten the pain in her waist.

She took a half step forward and tilted her delicate little face up.

Her large, jet-black eyes, as bright as gemstones, looked at Zhang Qingzhe, her speech as light and quick as bouncing glass marbles.

"It's actually quite mentally taxing! We were put on a big bed, and then—"

Her words stopped abruptly.

Because my sister's fingers have struck again, at an even faster speed and from a more concealed angle.

This time, the pinch landed precisely on Su Nianxi's pert buttocks, and the pinch was given half a turn as a warning.

"hiss--!"

Su Nianxi winced in pain, her pretty face scrunching up.

She looked at her sister with a wronged expression, just in time to receive the "warning" in the other's eyes.

"Okay, okay————"

Su Nianxi pouted and swallowed back the rest of her complaint.

He then put on a fake, dumb smile.

The younger sister quickly chimed in, "Yeah, it's just—a very ordinary job. Nothing special."

Although Zhang Qingzhe was very curious about what kind of "part-time job" his sister and her beautiful friend had been doing in that building,

But since his sister didn't want to talk about it at the moment, he could only suppress his desire to find out.
