At noon, on the outskirts of University City, Shen Qiang, after following the agent around for a long time in search of a house where he could live with Dark Department Xiu Ju, directly gave up the idea of renting.

Because it was simply too exhausting and too troublesome.

Moreover, the neighborhoods with rental houses usually consisted entirely of rental properties, with messy residents and poor environments. Although it saved money, it was utterly impossible to find peace.

Shen Qiang hadn't yet reached the level of a top-tier wealthy individual.

However, after accounting for various expenses, Shen Qiang still had over four hundred million in cash in hand.

In such a case, rather than keeping records with other students and vendors in a dirty and messy neighborhood, he might as well just buy an apartment outright.

Think of it as an investment, given the surroundings of University City, he wouldn't lose money if he sold it in the future.

When Shen Qiang shared his thoughts with the agent, the agent immediately perked up, after all, how much could they earn from renting compared to selling an apartment?

Moreover, because Shen Qiang was not short of money and didn't want to waste time, he straightforwardly stated his requirements.

That was, not to consider the issue of money at all.

Whichever apartment the agent himself most wanted to buy, that was the one Shen Qiang would go see.

With that, the agent took Shen Qiang directly to a comparatively upscale residential neighborhood located between Medical University and the Dance Academy, which was also around University City.

The location was unbeatable.

The environment within the community was also very good, as the buildings were multi-story, the overall feeling was less bustling and more serene.

The house was very clean.

The decor was simple and unadorned, yet had a quality feel.

The agent said that this house belonged to a university professor who had just retired and had returned to his hometown in the countryside to enjoy his old age.

This was a 130-square-meter apartment with three bedrooms and two living rooms, including a flat-roofed attic and a balcony on the sixth floor, with two garages on the first floor, including a basement, facing the community's landscape belt. Since it was surrounded by multi-story buildings, the view was exceptional, the air was great, and the natural light was fantastic.

The asking price was 2.6 million.

This quote was a bit high.

In reality, compared to the central city area, housing prices in University City were somewhat lower. After all, University City lagged behind the central city area in terms of bustling convenience.

But fortunately, the house was quite nice.

And since Shen Qiang didn't like the idea of someone stomping over his head, he directly decided, signed the contract, and bought the apartment. Since he had the keys, he could move in that same day.

But Shen Qiang still had someone change the door locks.

He decided to speak on it the next day.

After all, once the house was bought, it wasn't going anywhere.

In the evening, when he got home, he briefly mentioned to Su Xiaonuan that he needed to live near the school for a while. On Saturdays and Sundays, depending on the situation, he would come back if he had time.

Su Xiaonuan showed understanding and mentioned that Bikang was quite busy during this period and wanted to stay at her parents' home for a while. Moreover, since Bikang was closer to University City, she could also go there when she had time.

However, considering that Dark Department Xiu Ju would also be there, Shen Qiang chuckled and told Su Xiaonuan, "Forget it, it's inconvenient there. If you miss me, we'll just come back."

With her cheeks flushed, Su Xiaonuan coquettishly spat, "Like I would miss you."

Besides that.

Shen Qiang specially communicated with Jin Chan.

She was very smart. Since cultivating the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra, Shen Qiang wasn't sure how strong her abilities were, but intellectually, she was no different from an adult woman.

She wanted to stay and look after the house.

The focus was still on the downstairs plant nursery, as it was full of treasures. The loss suffered during the Foundation Establishment stage had already pained Shen Qiang enough; if there were any more accidents, Shen Qiang would really be helpless.

Fearing that Jin Chan would be lonely by herself at home, Shen Qiang left her a phone number, bought her a computer, provided a TV, and prepared many delicious treats for her.

This made Jin Chan somewhat downcast, but also somewhat surprised.

The loss lay in the fact that ever since she arrived, Shen Qiang seemed never to have spent a night outside. Hence, she could see him every day. But now, Shen Qiang was going to live somewhere else and might not be able to come back for days at a time.

However, what was surprisingly delightful was that Shen Qiang had arranged everything, and this concern made her inexplicably feel happy.

The next morning, Su Xiaonuan left a bit early.

When Shen Qiang got up, Su Xiaonuan had already left.

After packing some clothes simply, Shen Qiang and Xiu Ju from the Dark Department headed for University City.

On the road, sitting in the car, Shen Qiang took a careful look at Xiu Ju, who was driving.

Her appearance was actually not bad.

Just considering her facial features and physique, she could be considered beautiful.

However, her face had many freckles, and her skin was somewhat dark.

Moreover, she did not wear makeup.

She wore glasses.

Her clothes were very ordinary, even a bit plain.

Basically, unless one observed carefully, she belonged to the kind of girl who one might pass by without giving a second glance.

And this was probably an important factor for her presence in the Dark Department.

Because she was very inconspicuous.

If she were like Qian Shanxue, with an aloof queen demeanor and stunning beauty paired with a fine figure, she would become the center of attention wherever she appeared.

In such a situation,

Aside from resorting to brute force, she really couldn't do anything else.

But Xiu Ju was different.

Now, in the academy, she was practically invisible.

With no one noticing her, the things she could do were virtually countless.

Protection, assassination, investigation, as long as she wished, whatever she did, she could act as if she were in a place with no one else around.

Soon, they arrived at Medical University.

Shen Qiang and the unremarkable Xiu Ju had just reached the front gate of the Graduate School.

Shen Qiang immediately spotted the stunning parkour girl, Miao Xiaoxia, and her quirky friend, Zhang Jing, standing at the roadside in front of the Graduate School.

"Shen Qiang!" Seeing Shen Qiang, Zhang Jing called out with a smile, "Hey, why did you just get here? We've been waiting for you for so long."

Shen Qiang was slightly surprised and smiled, "Something up?"

"Can't I look for you if there's nothing wrong?" Zhang Jing pouted.

Shen Qiang, feeling helpless, looked at Xiu Ju, who was acting like she didn't know him, walking past the two girls, "That's also fine, it's just that I and Professor Ju have a small project and are quite busy."

"Lucky you, that beauty teacher from the Chemistry department is considered a goddess by those male students," Zhang Jing laughed, glancing at Miao Xiaoxia, who looked shy and was staring at her feet, haa smiled and said, "But she's quite old, isn't she?"

Shen Qiang was stunned. Twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, was that very old?

While he was puzzled, he noticed Zhang Jing kicking Miao Xiaoxia's foot. Seeing that Shen Qiang had noticed, Zhang Jing smiled awkwardly, then said, "Shen Qiang, you've helped our Xiaoxia twice already, she's very grateful to you. She wanted to treat you to a meal yesterday, but you were busy, so she personally made breakfast this morning and brought it for you. I think you definitely won't refuse."

Shen Qiang was stunned.

Hearing Zhang Jing's words, the beautiful Miao Xiaoxia blushed, barely daring to look at Shen Qiang, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "Umm, it's just a simple breakfast, please make sure to accept it."

Looking at Miao Xiaoxia's delicate slender jade hands holding the cute pink lunchbox.

Shen Qiang was dumbstruck, and somehow, he unexpectedly recalled Lv Shuyao from Bikang, who always said playfully, "A smart woman always knows, to catch a man's heart, one must first catch his stomach!"
