“You have a daughter?!” Su Hao was shocked by this news.
He had been following his master for years. He could be considered knowing his master quite well. Forget about a daughter; his master didn’t even have a woman! He even once thought that his master’s sexual orientation had gone wrong…
But now a daughter?
Su Hao seemed to understand now.
“Is it that before you left the Zhang family, you actually had children? Your family is still in the Zhang family?” Su Hao asked.
Only this explanation made sense! Because of some matter or having bad blood with the Zhang family, he got expelled, but his wife and daughter remained in the Zhang family! That was why his master focused everything in pharmacy so that he won’t be thinking or worrying about his family.
However, unexpectedly, Zhang Zhongtian shook his head slightly.
“Not that?” Su Hao was surprised.
“That was at the beginning.” Zhang Zhongtian sighed, “Then both mother and daughter also left the Zhang family after knowing that I left. I had been looking for so long before I managed to find them…”
“Looking for so long?” Su Hao raised his eyebrows and suddenly thought of a possibility, “They’re also in Jianghe City?”
“Yes.” Zhang Zhongtian nodded.
“Jianghe City!” Su Hao’s eyes lit up!
It turned out to be like that.
The previous Jianghe City was just a small city! No wonder Zhang Zhongtian, the berserk master would come to such a place. It turned out that he had been protecting his family in secret!
Now, all the doubts in the past were explained.
“Who is it?” Su Hao asked with interest.
The desire for gossip within his heart thickened. Master’s daughter? This…
“I’ll tell you later.” Zhang Zhongtian smiled bitterly, “But you’re not to tell them my identity.”
“En?” Su Hao went blank and quickly reacted, “You all haven’t met yet?”
“They probably still hate me.” Zhang Zhongtian smiled bitterly, “In their eyes, I am probably an irresponsible father and husband, who had given up on the family for the sake of pharmacy. I don’t want to say anything about the past, nor do I seek their forgiveness. As long as they’re safe, I’m fine.”
Su Hao went silent.
He hadn’t been in contact with his master for a long time, but he could sense the affection shown by his master. Such a person, will he give up his family? Su Hao definitely wouldn’t believe this!
“Everyone will have a time when they are a frivolous youth…” Zhang Zhongtian sighed, “In a flash, so many years have passed. The past matters are no longer important. Now, to actually decide who is in the wrong, does that even have any meaning?”
Su Hao sighed for a bit.
Yes.
Whether it’s love or hate, so many years have passed…
It was already meaningless to investigate who’s right or wrong. How to protect them was the most crucial matter! However, what was the identity of this mother and daughter than they required protection?!
“Are they in danger?” Su Hao’s eyes lit up.
His master’s daughter, he would never allow others to bully her regardless of whether she recognized her dad or not! As he approached closer to the world realm, Su Hao’s self-confidence also increased! Only by seeing more, will one realize how big this world is!
“There is always danger.” Zhang Zhongtian smiled, “This girl, she has gone farther than I thought. Her identity is a bit unique.”
“Unique?” Su Hao paused for a second.
“En.” Zhang Zhongtian smiled proudly, “My daughter is a big superstar!”
Su Hao: “…”
Big…sup…erstar?
Su Hao went frozen for a long time before he carefully asked, “A genius star?”
“No, a famous idol.” Zhang Zhongtian replied in a serious tone.
Famous… idol?
Damn, Master’s brain has some screws loose!
Su Hao wiped off his cold sweat. If it were the era before the arrival of origin ability, when one said he’s a big superstar, that would refer to those heavyweights! But these days, it’s now the era of origin ability! There can only be one real type of superstar, the genius superstar — for example, someone like Su Hao, Tian Zi, and the others.
Only people like them could forge a path to advance further and achieve glory!
In the past, during the college entrance exam, Su Hao created a name for himself, standing tall among countless talents and becoming a true genius superstar!
But an idol?
Damn, what the hell is that?!
It wasn’t like there weren’t any singing idols in this era, but singing and acting are considered entertainment categories. Moreover, due to the emergence of virtual reality, the entertainment industry had been declining gradually from a popular topic into a niche.
As for the so-called singer idol, their standings were even lower than ever. This was actually easy to comprehend.
Architect, engineer…
Even singers, actors, etc. belong to the common people’s world. What do they have any relation with origin ability?
Especially for people like Su Hao.
Who are those people they are in contact with? The clan heads of families, powerful leaders, peak domain realm espers… Where does this idol suddenly come to their world? It seemed that Zhang Zhongtian saw the doubts within Su Hao’s eyes, and he became furious. His anger was even higher than the time he got angry for himself.
“My daughter is a big star, a real big superstar!”
“Yes, yes, yes.” Su Hao hurriedly responded, “If you say yes, then it must be true then!”
“Nonsense! Zhang Zhongtian could clearly see that this brat was just answering half-heartedly with a glance, “Brat, you haven’t been online for a long time already, right? You look down on idols, right? Let me tell you, my daughter is different! Her online fans far exceed yours!”
“Oh?” Su Hao was really surprised this time.
He had been busy with too many things lately. How could he have the luxury to watch those gossip news? But her fans were higher than his?
“Go and search for National Goddess.” Zhang Zhongtian proudly said.
“National Goddess?” Su Hao muttered. In this era, a goddess can still be popular? What era is this? Searching online, Su Hao casually had a quick look, and a message appeared.
National Goddess, Chen Xi!
Su Hao was stunned for a moment because his master was right! Chen Xi’s fans actually were twice as much as his! One needs to note that his fans had already exceeded ten million! It’s not that he was arrogant, but Su Hao knew that in this world, people had been aiming high regarding origin ability…
What singer could enjoy such status?
Su Hao casually selected a song sung by Chen Xi. When a light voice reached his ears, Su Hao stayed in place. All the negative emotions in his heart seemed to have disappeared at this moment. Su Hao continued to listen quietly.
Zhang Zhongtian didn’t bother him until Su Hao silently listened to the end!
“How is it?”
“This song…”
Su Hao was still immersed in deep shock. It went straight to his heart! That magical singing voice can directly penetrate deep into one’s heart for comfort. This was terrifying!
A spiritual talent esper?
Su Hao was astonished.
One needs to know that it’s not like there’s none who could perform such a feat. He could also do so by playing the piano, but it’s only limited to a live performance! This isn’t a joke. If a recorded performance could be this effective, who will go to watch live performance then? Just copy and paste, won’t everyone be able to enjoy the same thing?
Su Hao always thought that this was impossible since origin energy can’t be transmitted via electronic medium!
However, his thoughts had now been disproven.
A girl, who is only in her teens, achieved this miracle with her singing! The song that Su Hao just listened to was so calming that he had no doubt that the effect would be even more shocking if he’s to listen to it live! With such a terrifying effect, her popularity far exceeded Su Hao.
Su Hao was very sure that this is another powerful soul talent esper!
“What about photos?”
“I don’t have any!” Zhang Zhongtian waved his hands, “For safety reasons, her photos can’t be exposed. Even if a concert is held, no electronic devices are allowed to be turned on. You have been to a piano concert, and you should know that they have the ability to do so.”
“En.” Su Hao nodded.
With the current level of technology, it’s simply too easy to detect the activity of electronic devices. However, how can he find Chen Xi without a photo?
“I will arrange it for you.” Zhang Zhongtian muttered, “I will arrange it with my identity in the Pharmacy Association. This time, we will need to depend on Chen Xi if we wish to meet Zhang Wuze. Because of her fame, Chen Xi will meet with him for the next concert.”
Su Hao was shocked at this reply.
Zhang Wuze is none other than Zhang Yating’s master. The past Zhang family’s Clan Head, and now holds a high ranking within the Federation. Chen Xi had already mixed within such a circle?
The circle of those higher-ups in the Federation?
This is too terrifying!
No wonder Zhang Zhongtian was willing to help him to meet Zhang Wuze. As long as he became the bodyguard of Chen Xi, everything should proceed smoothly.
“Since it’s the higher-ups of the Federation, is there any need for us to prepare?” Su Hao was puzzled. He didn’t believe that the Federation would not protect Chen Xi well.
“I don’t trust them!” Zhang Zhongtian sneered.
Su Hao understood and said seriously, “Alright, I will go.”
Chen Xi is his master’s daughter. Since he knew this, he must protect her! Plus, it might be possible for him to meet Zhang Wuze. Wasn’t that his goal from the beginning?
“Zhang Wuze… Chen Xi…” Su Hao entered into deep thought.
“But then having said that…” Zhang Zhongtian suddenly changed his topic.
“En?”
“My daughter is actually very pretty. Do you want to…”
Su Hao rolled his eyes, “…”
Damn it, what’s with this familiar style?!
“Smelly brat, I am letting you approach her for your own good! Who knows, my daughter might be the future strongest esper!”
“Hmpph!”
Without wasting any time, that afternoon, Zhang Zhongtian arranged everything properly, and Su Hao rushed to Yitu City, the next concert venue of Chen Xi.
In the past, when his origin ability was only ten points or so, he had checked for tasks to protect idols, but that got snatched away by others. So, he had no such experiences. Never would he have thought that today, as a peak domain esper, he actually became a bodyguard for a star… This world is really full of unexpected things.
“May I know if you’re Mr.Su?” The receptionist at Yitu City asked.
“Yes, that’s me.”
“Hello, please follow me.”
Su Hao calmly followed. He wanted to see what Zhang Zhongtian’s daughter looks like, but if she’s to inherit Zhang Zhongtian’s face…
That would be a tragic sight.
Perhaps that was why she didn’t reveal her face?
Su Hao thought about it in curiosity.
