Happiness is the Most Important

"Is this true?" Chen Shuo sat up straight, his mind racing.

If it were true, wouldn't he be able to return to a normal life soon? No, the phrase "return to a normal life" sounded strange somehow.

Su Xiyan gave Chen Shuo a big eye-roll: "How could it be false? When I heard about it, I was quite surprised too. The last time Su City caught the attention of the capital was because of my father."

"That's why I'm not sure if I can attend your class reunion. If I can't go, you'll have to go alone."

Su Xiyan's face was full of apologies, while Chen Shuo remained silent.

This unusual behavior did not escape Su Xiyan's notice. She didn't want things to be this way, but everything has its priorities. To ease Chen Shuo's mind, she continued, "How about this, after this matter is resolved, I'll make it up to you, okay?"

Chen Shuo shook his head slightly: "It's not about the meal."

What he cared about was not the class reunion.

In his view, the reunion could happen anytime, but the arrival of the person from the capital was uncertain in its implications.

"Then what is it?"

"I don't know how to put it, but I feel uneasy. I hope it's just my overthinking."

Chen Shuo said gravely, and the atmosphere around them seemed to grow heavier.

This was not the Chen Shuo Su Xiyan was used to seeing. She became more serious: "If you have any thoughts, just say them. We should face everything together, right?"

Hearing this, Chen Shuo decided not to hide anything. In fact, he had no intention of hiding, but many things were just his momentary speculations and couldn't be taken as absolute.

After Chen Shuo shared his thoughts with Su Xiyan, the originally light-hearted and cheerful Su Xiyan also began to ponder.

The first problem they had to face was Chen Shuo's identity. After all, the other party was a Legendary Realm Demon Hunter, whose strength was formidable.

Although Chen Shuo was now a Demon Saint, who knew if the other party had some special secret techniques to uncover his identity?

If his identity were exposed, things could get out of hand. Chen Shuo wasn't worried about his own safety; with his Demon Saint abilities, even if he encountered a Legendary Realm Demon Hunter, he could handle it.

But what about Su Xiyan? What about those who knew his identity? They might all become key targets of the capital's attention.

Moreover, due to their relationship, they might encounter some unpredictable situations.

It was these considerations that made Chen Shuo hesitate.

"Then what should we do? Should we ask that Legendary Realm Demon Hunter not to come?"

Su Xiyan's impulsive words almost stunned Chen Shuo. It was clear that she hadn't thought it through.

Did she think it was a game? Did she think she could just tell someone not to come?

Besides, even if she wanted the other party not to come, there had to be a reason, right? In any case, it was a difficult problem.

"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have hunted those vampires!" Su Xiyan was frustrated. She had never imagined that such a small action would complicate things so much.

"No, I need to discuss this with my father. Maybe he has a better solution."

Su Xiyan said and was about to leave, but Chen Shuo stopped her.

Chen Shuo pulled Su Xiyan into his arms, gently wrapping his arms around her slender waist: "Okay, you don't have to worry too much. Didn't I say it's the worst-case scenario?"

Despite Chen Shuo's comfort, Su Xiyan couldn't be happy.

Often, the more you don't want something to happen, the more likely it is to happen. If Chen Shuo's prediction came true, how to deal with it became a pressing issue.

Because behind this Legendary Realm Demon Hunter, there was the Demon Hunters' Guild of the capital.

This guild was still an unknown to Chen Shuo. Whether there were even stronger individuals was unclear. If there were more than one Legendary Realm Demon Hunter, it would be unwise to provoke such a force in the short term.

At least deep down, Chen Shuo didn't want to be enemies with these people.

He was just someone who had "gone astray" and only wanted to return to a normal life.

When he learned that a Legendary Demon Hunter was coming, Chen Shuo even had the impulse to ask the other party to restore him to a normal human. But reason prevailed over his thoughts.

He was no longer the person he used to be; he was no longer alone.

Now he had Su Xiyan and responsibilities. If he became a normal person, he would lose all his abilities. Without his Demon Saint powers, where would he go?

There was still a Demon King to deal with, and if he became a normal person, Su Xiyan and the others wouldn't be able to handle it.

As a Demon Hunter, the difficulties Su Xiyan would face in the future would only increase, and the vampires she encountered would become stronger.

To protect her, he couldn't lose his powers.

Chen Shuo was caught between a rock and a hard place, much like a scene from a movie where putting on the headband meant he couldn't love, and taking it off meant he couldn't protect.

It was this dilemma that made Chen Shuo unable to make a decision.

"But..." Su Xiyan's brows furrowed, and seeing her troubled expression, Chen Shuo gently smoothed her frown: "Alright, what will come will come. We'll face it together, come what may."

Su Xiyan nodded seriously. Her previously anxious mood was dispelled by Chen Shuo's words.

Yes, instead of worrying, it was better to face it together.

"I understand. I'll definitely attend your reunion." Su Xiyan's words made Chen Shuo pause.

Wait, wasn't she saying she didn't have time before? How did it suddenly...

"What? What kind of expression is that? I can arrange my own time, can't I? What does it matter if someone from the capital is coming? Compared to him, you are more important to me." Su Xiyan raised her head proudly, looking a bit smug.

Chen Shuo was taken aback; this was an outcome he hadn't expected.

Seeing Chen Shuo's surprise, Su Xiyan smiled and cupped his cheeks, looking into his eyes tenderly: "What? Don't you want me to?"

Chen Shuo shook his head vigorously; he wanted it, very much.

But loving someone meant respecting their decisions. Even if Su Xiyan couldn't go, Chen Shuo wouldn't have any complaints.

It was just that Su Xiyan chose him between the two, which deeply touched Chen Shuo.

"Alright, who cares about that broken capital coming, or that so-called Legendary Realm Demon Hunter? Nothing is more important than our happiness!"

"Yes, happiness is the most important! I've decided, I'll go, and I'll bring my best friend!"
