Su Xiyan also found it strange that Chen Shuo was a vampire, and logically speaking, her father's level should have allowed him to sense that Chen Shuo was a vampire.
But he seemed indifferent.
From her father's expression, it seemed like he didn't even know that Chen Shuo was a vampire.
Chen Shuo was the Demon King, very powerful! However, in front of Su Yuanying, a fully leveled Platinum Tier Three Demon Hunter, the vampire's presence should have been impossible to conceal.
Yet, Chen Shuo was able to hide effortlessly.
Su Xiyan didn't have time to dwell on this issue because what she was currently facing was how to conceal from Chen Shuo the fact that her father was the new head of the Su City and about to take office.
Keeping it hidden from Chen Shuo was mainly due to their relationship.
Chen Shuo was already struggling to survive in Su City, facing suspicion from the Demon Hunters and being viewed as a traitor by the vampires.
If he were to find out that her father was a Platinum Tier Three Demon Hunter and also the new leader of the Demon Hunters in Su City, his sense of crisis would definitely intensify.
Would he distance himself from her then??
Su Xiyan cared too much about Chen Shuo! Any question related to him, she couldn't think about it calmly and rationally.
Su Yuanying didn't consider herself an outsider either. She stood at the kitchen door, her tone even carrying a hint of teasing:
"As the saying goes, a skilled housewife can't cook without rice."
"Are you two planning to make me an air banquet in the kitchen?"
In Su Yuanying's hand, she held ingredients taken out of the refrigerator.
Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan exchanged a glance, and the atmosphere became awkward once again.
"Eating some plain noodles for breakfast is the most appropriate." Su Yuanying handed the instant noodles and vegetables and eggs to Chen Shuo. "Based on your skill in buying groceries yesterday, you must cook often, right?"
"Wanna try your culinary skills?"
Where would Chen Shuo dare to refuse? He took the ingredients and started bustling around.
Su Yuanying was like a supervisor, watching his every move.
Fortunately, she didn't say much. No matter how Chen Shuo operated, she didn't express her opinion.
As a result, Chen Shuo became even more uncertain. He thought, if you say something, I would feel a bit more at ease. If you don't say anything, how would I know if I've done something wrong??
Chen Shuo even began to doubt life itself, wondering if he had made countless mistakes in cooking plain noodles?
Luckily, everything turned out fine.
Three bowls of seemingly plain noodles but actually filled with enticing aroma were served on the dining table.
The dining table in Su Xiyan's home was rectangular.
As an elder, Su Yuanying naturally sat at the very top, while Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan sat on opposite sides.
Chen Shuo remembered that during his conversation with Su Yuanying yesterday, he should have shown respect for the younger generation.
So, until Su Yuanying picked up her chopsticks, Chen Shuo also sat upright at the table without moving.
This gesture undoubtedly increased Su Yuanying's favorability towards Chen Shuo.
However, due to the status of being an elder and a future father-in-law, Su Yuanying still didn't show any signs of liking him.
Su Yuanying picked up her chopsticks and started eating noodles, and only then did Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan begin to eat.
Su Yuanying expressed great admiration for Chen Shuo's culinary skills.
"No wonder Xiyan looks a bit plumper than when I last saw her. It turns out you're the master chef behind it," Su Yuanying remarked.
Chen Shuo obediently replied, "Xiyan enjoys eating, and it brings me joy to cook for her."
Su Xiyan glared at Chen Shuo and said, "I want to lose weight. Don't cook for me anymore!"
Chen Shuo replied, "You don't need to lose weight. Being a bit plumper looks good."
"Isn't that right, Uncle Su?" Su Xiyan asked.
Su Yuanying nodded, "Yes, girls shouldn't be too thin."
Because of a bowl of plain noodles, the distance between Chen Shuo and Su Yuanying was significantly reduced.
After some casual conversation, Chen Shuo casually asked, "Uncle Su, are you planning to stay in Sucheng for a long time this time?"
Su Yuanying glanced at his daughter Su Xiyan and from her expression, he guessed that she hadn't told Chen Shuo about his identity as a demon hunter.
He calmly replied, "I might stay for a while."
Chen Shuo seemed to have grasped a lifeline and said, "I'm currently staying in the guest room. I'll quickly move back to my dormitory at school."
The way he said it was reminiscent of a child desperately trying to cover up a mistake.
Didn't Su Yuanying see them both coming out of the same room with his own eyes?
Su Yuanying rejected Chen Shuo's proposal, "Although my humble Su family can only be considered a well-off family, we still have quite a few properties. I bought this house for Xiyan to live in while she's in college."
"The house is too small, I can't get used to it."
"I feel suffocated unless it's a mansion with several hundred square meters."
Chen Shuo: "..."
Was I short-sighted? So, Su Xiyan's family also has a large mansion?
Did I just hook up with a wealthy sugar momma?
After finishing breakfast, Chen Shuo's forehead was already covered in cold sweat.
He had never been this nervous during the college entrance exams!
Fortunately, Su Yuanying wasn't a narrow-minded person and didn't plan to stay here for long.
The clock had already struck seven-thirty, and both Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan had classes at eight o'clock.
Su Yuanying took out a bright red invitation and placed it on the table. "Next weekend, your third aunt's cousin is getting married, and we'll all go together."
Su Xiyan raised her phone and said, "Yes, my cousin already told me."
So they were going to attend a wedding? Chen Shuo was about to come up with an excuse to avoid it, but unexpectedly, Su Yuanying directly named him.
"Chen Shuo, you'll come with us next week."
"Now that we're all together and our parents have met, shouldn't we get to know each other's relatives?"
With the words spoken to this extent, could Chen Shuo still refuse?
Su Xiyan's phone beeped with a message notification again, and she widened her eyes. "My cousin said that a groomsman and bridesmaid suddenly dropped out, and they need to find another pair. She asked if I wanted to be her bridesmaid."
Chen Shuo couldn't help but tease, "You as a bridesmaid? What about the groomsman?"
Su Xiyan and Su Yuanying both looked at Chen Shuo and said in unison:
"You."
Seeing Chen Shuo hesitating, Su Yuanying directly asked him, "Bridesmaids also need to wear formal attire. Don't you look forward to seeing what Xiyan looks like in a dress?"
Chen Shuo: "Of course, I do."
Su Yuanying: "Then that settles it. Xiyan can be the bridesmaid, and you can be the groomsman. It's quite appropriate for you to familiarize yourself with the wedding procedures in advance, isn't it?"
Su Xiyan tugged at Su Yuanying's sleeve and said, "Dad, what are you talking about?"
Su Yuanying couldn't hide her liking for Chen Shuo, but there was a hint of something else in her eyes.
As the highest-ranked Platinum Tier 3 Demon Hunter in the present, he couldn't sense whether Chen Shuo was really a vampire or not?
It was too suspicious!
Therefore, letting Chen Shuo attend the wedding of the Su family was also a way of testing him.
By then, all the Su family members attending the wedding, including the bride and groom, would be top demon hunters from various regions!
If there was even a hint of Chen Shuo's vampire nature exposed, he wouldn't be able to leave the wedding scene alive!

So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty!

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”

. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
