Reborn through an arranged marriage, I awakened the Shennong farming system.

After Uncle Xin finished saying what he needed to say, he shut his mouth. Su Bai didn't want to talk either, so he kept his eyes closed and pretended to sleep. For a while, there was no other sound in the car except for the engine and breathing.

After driving for more than half an hour, the car slowly came to a stop in front of a huge iron gate. "We've arrived," the driver said, turning around to remind them.

Su Bai was momentarily dazed. When he saw the Su family's old house again, all the complex emotions he had suppressed surged up in an instant, so heavy that he could hardly breathe. As Su Bai calmed himself down, Uncle Xin had already gotten out of the car and opened the door for him.

Su Bai tightened his grip slightly at his side, then slowly relaxed it. He took a deep breath and got out of the car.

After getting off the car, Uncle Xin led Su Bai into the Su family's old mansion. The Su family's old mansion was a standard European-style manor. There was a huge fountain right inside the gate, with flower beds and groves on both sides. After passing the fountain, a huge five-story building came into view.

The Su family's old residence occupies such a large area because it has been expanded by several generations. Even in the northern suburbs, the fact that the Su family can occupy such a large piece of land is enough to demonstrate their status in the northern city.

Su Bai glanced at it indifferently, then looked away and focused on the road beneath his feet.

Uncle Xin, who had been secretly observing Su Bai's reaction, muttered to himself, "Could he have been scared out of his wits?" Uncle Xin continued to lead Su Bai toward the main house, "Second Young Master, the Master instructed that you should go see him as soon as you return."

Su Bai wasn't surprised at all, because it had been the same in his previous life. Su Bai remembered feeling a little excited when he first heard those words. Did this mean his father had never forgotten him?

With this in mind, Su Bai's first impression of Su Shengrong was not very good, which made Su Shengrong have a very bad first impression of him. Afterwards, Su Bai did a lot of things to change Su Shengrong's opinion of him.

This time, however, Su Bai didn't care about Su Shengrong's opinion, so he remained unmoved.

"Then let's go see him!"

Su Bai's nonchalant attitude finally made Uncle Xin's expression crack. Is this really the attitude one should have when an illegitimate child is brought back to the main family?

Entering through the main gate, passing through the main hall, and going straight up to the second floor, Uncle Xin arrived at the largest room on the second floor and knocked on the door, "Knock knock."

"Come in!" A young voice rang out from inside the room.

Upon hearing that voice, Su Bai's body immediately tensed up. The voice was so familiar, it was as if it were etched into his bones.

Su Bai's unusual reaction did not attract Uncle Xin's attention. After hearing the sound, he opened the door, stood in front of Su Bai, and reported to the people inside: "Master, eldest young master, second young master are back!" After saying that, Uncle Xin stepped aside, exposing Su Bai to the people inside the room.

Before Su Bai was ready, Uncle Xin suddenly stepped aside, and Su Bai's flustered eyes met those warm, spring-sunlight eyes.

"Second brother is back!" Su Yangxia said with great surprise. He walked towards Su Bai with a perfectly timed smile on his face, which made one feel as if they were in the warm spring sunshine.

Su Bai subconsciously took a step back; he wasn't ready to meet Su Yangxia. In his previous life, he first met Su Yangxia at a family banquet, where Su Yangxia helped him out of an awkward situation after Su Chengjun teased him for not knowing how to use utensils.

The person in front of him had the same smile he remembered. He had once vowed to protect that smile for the rest of his life, but he never expected that he would be sent to hell by such a smile.

Su Bai's actions made Su Yangxia slow down. She stopped three steps away from Su Bai and said with a smile, "Father has been waiting for you for a long time. He was worried that something might have happened to you on the way."

"It's nothing, just a bit of traffic on the way." Su Bai tried his best to make his tone sound normal, but in fact, the hatred in his heart was almost uncontrollable. He wanted to punch Su Yangxia in the face, shatter his smile, grab his collar and demand why he treated him like that? If he disliked his feelings, why didn't he say so earlier? Was it fun to watch him fawn over him like a clown?

Su Yangxia was somewhat surprised by Su Bai's aloofness and...hatred towards him. Although there was indeed a competitive relationship between them, Su Bai was the first person to avoid him like the plague the moment they met!

"Are you Su Bai?" Su Shengrong asked, his tone inscrutable and unpredictable, at least Su Bai couldn't detect any worry in his voice.

Su Bai nodded upon hearing this, and walked past Su Yangxia into the house. Seeing Su Yangxia was indeed unexpected, but all of this real feeling also told Su Bai that he really had a chance to start over!

This time, he will definitely not repeat the same mistake!

Su Shengrong didn't intend to talk to Su Bai for long. After asking a few simple questions, he had Uncle Xin take Su Bai away. Before leaving, he told Su Bai, "There's a family banquet tomorrow night. Remember to be there on time."

"Understood!" Su Bai nodded in agreement. Apart from the unexpected encounter with Su Yangxia, everything else unfolded the same as in his previous life. Su Shengrong's first impression of him was not very good, and he was very eager to arrange a marriage between them.

Uncle Xin showed no interest in finding out what Su Bai and Old Master Su had said in the room. He led Su Bai to the westernmost room on the third floor and said, "Second Young Master, this is your room."

Su Bai pushed open the door and looked at the room, which was exactly the same as in his memory. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

"Young Master, you can rest for a while. Dinner will be brought up later." Uncle Xin walked to the wardrobe and opened it. "Here are your changes of clothes. Someone will come to take your measurements tomorrow."

After graduating from university, Su Bai disposed of everything he could, keeping only a few sets of clothes. However, shortly after his rebirth, he received a call from the Su family. In his panic, he lost track of where he had his clothes and only had a cell phone and a wallet with him. He also accidentally broke the screen of his cell phone.

"Do you have a spare phone? My phone is broken." Su Bai took out his broken phone and showed it to Uncle Xin. Although he didn't have many people to contact, there were some things he couldn't do without his phone.

"We have a spare at home. If you need one urgently, Second Young Master, I can bring it over."

"Thank you for your help!" Su Bai said.

Uncle Xin paused for a rare moment, not expecting that the first word of thanks he would hear from Su Bai would be because of a cell phone! He composed himself and then left, returning shortly with a spare cell phone for Su Bai.

Su Bai took the phone and started fiddling with it. Now that he had been reborn, he needed to seize the initiative in some matters. He vaguely remembered that a company called "Ruisheng" was going to experience a stock crash during this period. Just when everyone thought it was going to go bankrupt, Ruisheng's stock surged three months later, increasing its market value by several billion. This made many people who had sold their shares regret it immensely. Now was the best time to buy the stock.

In this life, he will use other methods to firmly grasp the Su family in his own hands!

He had a total of about 60,000 yuan in assets. Su Bai decided to use 40,000 yuan to buy stocks and keep the remaining 20,000 yuan for emergencies.

After buying the stocks, dinner was delivered. Su Bai quickly finished it, rested for a while, then washed up and lay back on the bed.

"It feels like a dream!" Su Bai murmured, staring at the ceiling.

So much happened that day! He still doesn't fully understand what's going on. He always thought he was an unlucky person, otherwise he wouldn't have been an orphan in his past life, nor would he have experienced unrequited love. So why is it that he is the one who gets a second chance?

Could it be that even God thinks he died too unjustly in his past life? He simply can't bear to watch anymore?

Lost in thought, Su Bai drifted off to sleep. However, his sleep was not very restful. In this environment, he inevitably thought of some unpleasant things, often waking up in a fright from his dreams.

The next day, Su Bai woke up with dark circles under his eyes and wandered to the dining table. The aroma of the food helped him feel a little better.

"Didn't you sleep well last night, second brother?" A concerned voice came from the side, causing Su Bai to pause in his grabbing of bread and quickly turn to find the speaker.

It was that familiar smiling face, as if it had been carved into Su Yangxia's face. For some reason, under the morning sun, Su Bai felt that Su Yangxia's smile was obviously fake at this moment, and even her gentle eyes seemed to look like the eyes of a rag doll, full of falseness.

"I'm not used to sleeping in the same bed," Su Bai said casually, picking up a piece of bread and eating it.

Su Yangxia's smile paused slightly, then quickly returned to normal. She said in a slightly reproachful tone, "This is our own home. If Second Brother isn't comfortable with anything, just say so. It's just a different bed, nothing serious." Turning to Uncle Xin standing to the side, she said, "Uncle Xin, immediately give the order to have some beds sent over so Second Brother can choose carefully."

Watching the person eating bread by himself, a hint of interest flashed in Su Yangxia's eyes. Yesterday, he avoided him like the plague, but today he can ignore him!

After Uncle Xin acknowledged, he bowed slightly and left. Su Bai wanted to refuse but couldn't find an opportunity. He glanced at Su Yangxia indifferently, and Su Yangxia returned the smile. Su Bai turned his head and stopped looking at Su Yangxia.

Let them change it! Anyway, the Su family is rich and powerful. It's just a bed; it won't affect the Su family's foundation.

After breakfast, Su Yangxia went to the company with Su Shengrong. As for Su Chengjun and the others, Su Bai learned from Uncle Xin that they all lived outside and only returned to the old house when necessary.

Su Bai thought he had time to catch up on his sleep, but he was pulled up from his bed by Uncle Xin as soon as he fell asleep, who said that the tailor and stylist had arrived.

Su Bai was manipulated by the tailor and stylist like a rag doll. This manipulation took up most of the day. After everything was settled, Su Bai felt like her bones were about to fall apart.

"This is simply unbearable for an ordinary person!" Su Bai exclaimed indignantly as he threw himself into the quilt.

"Second Young Master, the bed has been delivered. Please go and choose one." Uncle Xin appeared silently at Su Bai's door and told Su Bai some very bad news.

Su Bai buried his head in the blankets, really not wanting to get up. But Uncle Xin, not having received a definite answer, remained standing motionless in front of Su Bai's door. Helpless, Su Bai could only reluctantly prop his head up and say to Uncle Xin, who was standing like a doorman, "Just pick a firmer one." He had always slept on a hard bed, and he really wasn't used to this soft one.

"Yes, Second Young Master." Uncle Xin left after receiving confirmation, and soon returned with his men to change Su Bai's bed. The speed was so fast that Su Bai couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in praise.

----

Inside an unnamed canyon.

A tall, slender figure stood before the ravaged fissure in the ground, his hands moving rapidly in a series of hand gestures, attempting to shrink the ever-growing crack and seal back the spiritual energy escaping from it. Suddenly, a beam of light flew from afar and stopped in front of the figure. Without even glancing at it, the figure immediately cast a spell on it, and a voice that made him grit his teeth in hatred immediately appeared.

"The thirty-year period has come to an end. When do you plan to come to the human realm?"

"The ley lines in the demon realm are unstable, and I can't spare the time," the man said coldly, as if the thirty-year period meant nothing to him.

The person on the other side got anxious, "The earth's veins in the demon realm are unstable every day, Hua Gengchen, don't try to fool me with this."

Hua Gengchen glanced at the spiritual incantation, his voice as cold as the snow that had never melted on the summit of a snow-capped mountain for thousands of years, "Bai Ze, who is lying to whom? It's been over a thousand years, when will the person you're talking about finally appear?"

"Uh..." Bai Ze choked, then said awkwardly, "As you know, with the spiritual veins severed, there's only so much I can divine. But I can guarantee that you have a very good chance of meeting him this time."

Hua Gengchen said coldly, "You said the same thing last time. The time before that, and the time before that, you said the same thing."

Bai Ze choked again. Had he said it so many times?

"Just trust me! I consulted the oracle last night, and the divination showed that this is the best chance yet."

“You said the same thing three hundred years ago,” Hua Gengchen said, enunciating each word clearly. “I’ve doubted more than once whether your divinations were accurate.”

Bai Ze remained silent this time. Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. If he could speak, he would have already done so. But wasn't he afraid of being targeted by the Heavenly Dao?

Given the scarcity of spiritual energy, how could he have survived this long? Can't we just let him retire in peace?

After a long pause, Bai Ze finally spoke, saying, "We've tried so many times over the years, what's wrong with trying again? What if? Without the descendants of Shennong, even if you exhaust all your merits, you still won't be able to repair the demon realm's ley lines." Heaven will not allow it.

Bai Ze's words struck at Zhonghua Gengchen's weak spot. The Heavenly Dao was promoting the human race, while the demon race was already struggling to survive. In the Second Demon War, the earth's veins were destroyed. If it weren't for his constant support with his spiritual power, the demon realm would probably have been wiped out long ago.

Even with all his efforts, he could only keep the demons alive; he couldn't hope for anything more.

Many powerful demons choose to hibernate to reduce the consumption of spiritual energy so that their offspring can survive. He only needs to go to the human world to find a partner once every thirty years. Compared with those powerful demons, this little thing is indeed very insignificant.

“Then let’s try one more time.” Hua Gengchen relented. Before Bai Ze could even rejoice, Hua Gengchen continued, “This is the last time. If we still can’t find it…” He would defy the laws of nature and use his own body to fill the earth’s veins. He would bear all the blame himself. He had waited far too long.

"Alright, alright, just this once." Bai Ze didn't listen to what Hua Gengchen said afterward and hurriedly arranged, "Then I'll have the grass you're raising spread the news first. You hurry up and deal with the matters in the demon realm, and then go back to the human realm for a blind date."

Hua Gengchen's expression changed, but he remained silent.

Bai Ze didn't hear Hua Gengchen's reply, so he had to change the subject. "The human realm hasn't been very stable lately either. It's time for you to come back and clean things up. After all, you're the only one who still has the ability." Bai Ze spoke the last sentence very softly. The burden of both the demon realm and the human realm fell on Hua Gengchen's shoulders. Hua Gengchen's responsibilities were indeed heavy, but he couldn't help much.

"Wait a few days, I'll go back once I've made arrangements." When it came to business, Hua Gengchen didn't beat around the bush and agreed immediately.

"Alright, remember to come see me when you get back," Bai Ze reminded him. He couldn't take responsibility for Hua Gengchen, but he could make some medicine to restore his spiritual power.

"We'll see!" Hua Gengchen said, then dispersed the spiritual light and focused on forming hand seals. He was going to be away for a while, so the seal on the earth veins needed to be reinforced.

On the other side, Bai Ze, who wanted to give a few more words of advice, looked at the scattered spiritual light and puffed up his cheeks in anger. It had been over a thousand years, and Hua Gengchen's cold personality had not changed at all!

That's so antisocial!
