My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

Lin Ke'Er always had a strong urge to preach.

This personality made her have a natural impulse to become a teacher.

Moreover, Lin Ke'Er's preaching was always heartfelt, with a gentle reassurance, so it rarely made people feel annoyed.

Just like now, even though Shen Sui was already a professional fifth-tier Life Card Master, Lin Ke'Er, who was only a first-tier Life Card Master, still couldn't help but remind Shen Sui about various things to watch out for in the competition.

At first, Shen Sui just listened half-heartedly.

But the more he listened, the more he felt something was off.

Because much of the knowledge and experience Lin Ke'Er mentioned about the events didn't seem like what low-level Life Card Masters of one or two tiers would have access to.

"Teacher, didn't you also compete before?" Shen Sui asked with a hint of curiosity.

Lin Ke'Er paused, and for a moment, a sorrowful look flashed across her face, but she quickly concealed it.

As a teacher, she couldn't pass any negative emotions to her students.

Even though Shen Sui was no longer her student, she hadn't changed this habit.

"I participated for a while," Lin Ke'Er said softly, looking at the ancient buildings on either side, lost in memory.

"Why did you retire later?" Shen Sui asked curiously.

Thinking back now to Lin Ke'Er's classes, Shen Sui suddenly realized that much of the knowledge Lin Ke'Er taught really didn't seem like something a retired first-tier Life Card Master could say.

Especially since Shen Sui had personally fought in a B-class top-tier professional duel, recollecting Lin Ke'Er's teachings made this feeling even stronger.

Lin Ke'Er fell into silence.

Shen Sui initially thought he had said something wrong and quickly stopped dwelling on the topic, but to his surprise, after a long silence, Lin Ke'Er ambiguously said, "It's better if you don't know."

Something was off.

This answer felt very off.

If it were a personal or family reason, it definitely wouldn't be this kind of answer.

Shen Sui immediately remembered what Lin Ke'Er had said to him before he went to Modu.

Never divulge the information of your Soul Card to others.

"Was it because of peer persecution?" Shen Sui said immediately.

In the domestic professional Life Card Master circle, peer persecution is the most common.

Some envious people just can't stand others doing better than themselves, and they will use the domestic culture of compulsory verification on complaints to recklessly report key cards of their better-performing peers.

Similar things happen in various industries. Shen Sui, when he was bored and writing online novels in his past life, had suffered from this.

The real audience doesn't have so much time.

If they don't like your competition, they simply won't watch it; they won't report your cards.

Hearing Shen Sui's words, Lin Ke'Er clearly paused.

She pondered for a long time, then slowly said, "Not exactly, I'm the one who couldn't see clearly, I can't blame others."

Shen Sui squinted his eyes.

If it were anyone else, Shen Sui wouldn't bother with this kind of mess.

But Lin Ke'Er really was an exception.

It's not because Shen Sui had any unseemly thoughts about Lin Ke'Er; he simply wanted to repay the favor.

When he first crossed over, he knew nothing about this world and didn't have a penny. If it weren't for Lin Ke'Er's aid and guidance, his days wouldn't be so delightful now.

Just for this friendship alone, Shen Sui didn't want to see Lin Ke'Er so sorrowful.

Indeed.

Although Lin Ke'Er hid it well, there was always a trace of invisible sadness about her. After Shen Sui gained Extraordinary Power, he became more sensitive to such emotional perceptions.

"Is that person still competing in professional arenas?" Shen Sui asked.

"You don't need to get involved in this matter," Lin Ke'Er shook her head and said.

Shen Sui chuckled, saying, "The more you say that, teacher, the more curious I get. Ah, now all I can think about is what happened to make Miss Lin decide to retire. If you don't tell me, it could affect your adorable student's competition."

Freymia glared at Shen Sui without amusement.

This sounded very much like "Oh madam, you wouldn't like…..".

Both used things the other cared about to threaten the other.

Lin Ke'Er was someone with a strong teacher complex, particularly attentive to students and naturally would not allow her students to be distracted because of her.

But this matter was indeed her deepest secret... although saying it out might be nothing, it could just serve as an example to warn her student.

Not to have any romantic or affectionate link with their Soul Card.

Lin Ke'Er looked up, seeing Freymia affectionately and happily holding Shen Sui's arm.

However, Shen Sui already had a girlfriend, so he shouldn't do such foolish things, right?

"If you make it to the finals, I'll tell you then," Lin Ke'Er smiled, "after all, it's no big deal."

"Great! It's a deal." Shen Sui cunningly succeeded.

He couldn't do much else, but if the Life Card Master who forced Lin Ke'Er to retire was still lurking in the professional circles, Shen Sui would make sure they'd have a very unforgettable professional career.

He had never tried to make someone else retire before and was keen to try.

The Wu Yue Cup semi-finals, like the previous matches, were held publicly in the town square, and anyone who had purchased a ticket to the ancient town could watch the Wu Yue Cup matches for free.

Shen Sui's match was scheduled toward the end, as the climactic final act.

So when Shen Sui arrived at the venue, it wasn't his turn to compete yet, and he comfortably nestled on the side.

But with a great beauty like Freymia standing beside him, he couldn't lay low even if he wanted to.

In addition, Freymia was now also styled as a traditional beauty, making her even more eye-catching.

"Whoa! God of Age has changed girlfriends again?" A fan who came specifically to see Shen Sui's match immediately spotted Freymia beside him.

The puzzled fans on the side hurriedly asked, "Tell us, brother! Tell us! What's with that beauty? What do you mean changed girlfriends again?"

That fan immediately recounted what they saw the last time with the girl in Modu Ancient Town to those around.

"The silver-haired maid girl? I've seen her! It was at the God of Age Duel Tournament match site!" Another fan exclaimed in shock.

"Could it be... God of Age is..."

"It shouldn't be, right? This is public, and he hasn't tried to hide it in any way. He most likely isn't running two-timing like that."

"Maybe they broke up, and there's a new flame?"

"Darn it! God of Age has such luck! How does he always find such beautiful girlfriends!"

While Shen Sui's fans discussed his love life enthusiastically, the duel on the field had already started.

In the honorary guest seat, a young girl held the list, drawing circles with interest.

The red pen circled Shen Sui's name over and over, eventually directly scratching off his name.

The girl held Shen Sui's name in her hand, looking at Shen Sui, who was laughing and talking with Freymia in the distance, fury flaring in her eyes.

"Shen... Sui..."
