Chapter 46 - Transmigrated into the world of an NTR novel as the NTR Bastard
Beep beep beep... Cars passed through the gate in front of the academy. Luo Changsheng stared at his younger brother's delicate face and sighed softly, "I knew it, old habits die hard, right?" Luo Qingchuan had nothing to say. Luo Changsheng examined Luo Qingchuan and found that unexpectedly, he did not use his hoarse and distorted voice to mock him anymore. Instead, he remained silent. The golden-haired young man's pupils were deep and dark, like they were hiding an abyss. "Did I make you angry last time when I slapped you?" Luo Changsheng paused, tilted his chin slightly, and looked down at Luo Qingchuan with lowered eyes. "Our mother scolded you out of concern, but you have no respect for her, let alone the fact that she's our mother. If there's a next time, I'll still hit you. Don't think that just because you're in the Dao Seeker class and started cultivating, I can't deal with you. With your pathetic talent, I can easily find some random folk cultivator and leave you defenseless. Normally, I just don't bother with you, you know?" His hands were tucked in his pockets, and beneath his thick eyebrows, his gaze was icy cold. "To be honest, I don't want to be your older brother, so don't blame me for not fulfilling my responsibilities as an older sibling. I've given you chances." Luo Qingchuan was already quite tall, but Luo Changsheng was noticeably taller than his younger brother. Coupled with his status as an "older brother," it unconsciously pressed down on Luo Qingchuan, creating a sense of oppression. "I understand, brother, I understand," Luo Qingchuan tiredly smiled and didn't pay attention to Luo Changsheng's threat, "I was in the wrong." Luo Changsheng's pupils, already shadowed, shrank. Suddenly… He didn't know what to say in front of his obedient younger brother. Is this still Luo Qingchuan, who was said by the fortune teller to be born an evil spirit? Luo Qingchuan casually laughed, "I have something else important to take care of." Luo Changsheng fell silent for a moment. He asked, "Where are you living now? The old place?" "Mhmm." "You're not going home tonight?" "No." "What's the matter?" "Can't say." The young man in the suit nodded, his expression somewhat cold. "Illegal?" "How is that possible?" Luo Qingchuan chuckled and shook his head. "Let's go." Luo Changsheng turned and headed towards the black business car, opening the door. "Come along." "I said I'm not going home." "I didn't ask you to come back, I'll just give you a ride." …… …… …… "Where is he going?" "Home, I suppose." Zuo Tian stood with his arms crossed on top of the academy's walls, overlooking the figures of the two. A transparent white flame enveloped the boy's body, concealing his figure and masking his presence. Zuo Tian practiced an ancient technique from the Golden Tower, the "Scripture of Supreme Mystery". The Golden Tower came from ancient times, bearing countless ancient skills and treasures. Now that spiritual energy was recovering, Zuo Tian became the master of the current generation's Golden Tower. Endowed with heavenly destiny. For thousands of years, no one from the Zuo family had been able to push open the tower, nor could they even perceive the existence of the divine tower... But Zuo Tian had pushed it open. In front of the gate to the first level of the Golden Tower stood an ancient stone tablet with large characters engraved on it. "For the heart of heaven and earth." "For the life of the people." "For continuing the ancient teachings." "For eternal peace for all generations." The ancestral founder said, "Those who are intrinsically linked to the tower shall carry the Heavenly Mandate, bear the supreme fortune, and be a leader for the world. Uphold righteousness and never falter, protect the human realm from falling!" Now, the path of the one who carries the Heavenly Mandate was still being obstructed. Zuo Tian stared at the departing black business car, and with a slight movement, he drew out afterimages. He leaped and moved gracefully across the buildings on both sides of the main road, swiftly navigating through the air, keeping his gaze fixed on the car. "Luck is on my side." Zuo Tian smiled, "It's good that he has family by his side to take him to the hospital in case of any emergencies." Suddenly, the ancestral founder said, "Don't you use your divine sense to eavesdrop on their conversation?" "No, Luo Qingchuan is sensitive to spiritual fluctuations." Zuo Tian continued to move, his short black hair dancing in the wind. He spoke cautiously, "There's a possibility of being discovered." The ancestral founder sighed deeply, "Child, you've changed." "I'm not the one who changed." Zuo Tian said softly, "Ancestral founder, everything is changing." …… …… …… "You've changed a lot." Inside the business car, Luo Changsheng looked straight ahead and spoke. "Well, that's good. Passed the rebellious phase," Luo Qingchuan sat in the passenger seat. "People will always mature, and eventually, a youth transforms into an adult." Luo Changsheng glanced at his younger brother beside him and suddenly asked, "Is it because of love?" Luo Qingchuan was somewhat surprised and nervous, as if he had been caught doing something wrong. He tugged at his seatbelt and said, "What?" Watching the slightly cramped appearance of the young man, Luo Changsheng couldn't help but chuckle softly. "I've been waiting for you at the gate of the school. I thought that since you joined the Dao Seeker class, you wouldn't be playing around everywhere these days and that I could find you here. Then I saw you talking and laughing with that girl... Your expression was so radiant. I've never seen it before, and I almost thought I had mistaken you for someone else." "Maybe you really did mistake me for someone else." Luo Qingchuan said. "That's fine too." "Huh?" Luo Qingchuan smiled, "What about the little brother from before?" "I don't want him anymore," Luo Changsheng seemed to be joking, and he turned the steering wheel and made a turn. "Never wanted one in the first place." Luo Qingchuan was speechless. "Brother, you're a bit heartless, aren't you?" "Just average, in this world, you have to treat different people differently. Actually, your sister-in-law always says I'm too boring, that I never get angry at subordinates. She says a good leader should show some temper and that I'm not a good one. But I also know that it's not easy for everyone, we all have our own hardships. Before... when our family didn't have you, I suffered alongside our parents." Luo Qingchuan listened silently, feeling unexpectedly relaxed in both body and mind, comfortably lying back in the seat of the car. Luo Changsheng smiled faintly, "I've told you countless times, you've never listened so quietly before." The young man tilted his head back, "I really have important matters this time, I'll definitely come home next time." "Mhmm." They fell into silence again for a while. Luo Changsheng said, "Do you need money?" "Huh?" "I'll buy you a place closer to the school." "It... it's possible?" Luo Qingchuan felt that this brother of his was really kind. "What's your girlfriend's name? It's so beautiful, like a fairy." "You're quite nosy." "Seeing that you have a good relationship," Luo Changsheng said, "I have to thank her. I think it's because of her that you've learned how to love others." Luo Qingchuan felt a bit ashamed for some reason. Her name is Su Yingxue." "Nice name, suits you." Strangely, in Luo Qingchuan's impression, Luo Changsheng never had a good expression and always kept to himself. He continued, "Little Chuan, send me a picture of the two of you. I'll show it to our mother and your sister-in-law. They'll be very happy." "Okay... I'll send one next time we take a picture." "How did you win her over?" Luo Qingchuan pondered for a moment, "Chased after her persistently, with a little trick..." Feeling guilty. Luo Changsheng pursed his lips and chuckled lightly, glancing at his brother's gentle face. "If your sister-in-law saw her, do you know what she would say?" "What?" Luo Changsheng laughed, "She'd definitely say something exaggerated like 'The beauty is so stunning that just one look can add years to your life.'" Luo Qingchuan couldn't help but laugh either, "My sister-in-law is good at praising people." The two brothers, who had opened up their conversation, chatted away. The originally dull journey quickly reached its destination. Luo Changsheng got out of the car and handed Luo Qingchuan a card. "The password is your birthday." Luo Qingchuan was taken aback, "Thank you, brother." "Mom told me to give it to you, there are more than ten of them, and I never gave you even one before." Luo Changsheng chuckled. "Don't blame me." Luo Qingchuan rolled his eyes, "Remember to give me the rest next time." "Depends on the situation." "Then I'll go in." Luo Changsheng suddenly held onto Luo Qingchuan's shoulder. Luo Changsheng's usually stern face grew serious, less sinister and more imposing compared to Luo Qingchuan's sullen and cold demeanor, but it carried a sense of authority. "There's something I want to tell you." "Hmm?" Luo Qingchuan curiously raised an eyebrow. Hesitant, hesitant, as if under great pressure, Luo Changsheng ultimately said, "Nini's three-year-old birthday is this year. You should come, I didn't want her to see you all these years." "Brother, please don't say anymore," Luo Qingchuan said in a warm voice. "I will go." Luo Changsheng fell silent, but he patted his younger brother's shoulder twice. "Take care of yourself, come home when you have time." Luo Changsheng seemed tired, still wearing a somewhat disbelieving expression. He sat back in the car and drove off with a complicated expression. Luo Qingchuan looked at the bank card in his hand and then looked up at the black and blue sky, exhaling a breath of warm air. His heart felt heavy. The night grew darker, the autumn wind grew colder, and the air was not gentle.
