Who says I can't become a Grand Master?

Chapter 104 also features a [witch cousin].

Chapter 105 also features a [witch cousin].

Wang Dong curiously leaned over and glanced at Zhang Qingzhe's phone screen.

Immediately, Wang Dong revealed an extremely strange look.

"Mother"?"

He read the words on the screen, then looked at Zhang Qingzhe with disbelief. "Isn't this a call from your mother? Why do you look like you're going to your execution?"

Zhang Qingzhe swallowed again, thinking to himself:

The problem is that it was "Mom" calling.

Since he transmigrated to this world, he has never met his biological parents.

In the original owner's memory, there was only one very young and beautiful older sister who had always taken care of the two siblings.

Zhang Qingzhe had previously speculated that it might be their cousin or some other distant relative.

But now, combined with this sudden phone call, Zhang Qingzhe suddenly realized something.

That beautiful older sister in his memory, that's his "mom"!

The reason she looks so young is actually quite simple—

Because she is also a witch.

Zhang Qingzhe was speechless for a moment, and felt even more that the world was absurd.

He simply couldn't imagine that the mother of two children could look as young as a teenage girl.

He took a deep breath, as if making a decision, picked up his still-vibrating phone, and strode out of the classroom.

He answered the call in the empty corridor.

"Feed————"

"Qingzhe! What are you doing? Why are you taking so long to answer the phone?"

A vibrant female voice immediately came through the receiver, instantly overlapping with those vague fragments from the depths of his memory.

"That—um—Mom—"

Zhang Qingzhe was speechless for a moment; he really didn't know how to communicate with the "mother" of this world.

That contradictory feeling of being both strange and vaguely familiar caught him off guard.

"Why are you like this again, child?"

The woman's voice on the other end of the phone carried a hint of reproach, speaking rapidly like popping beans, "Your habit of not liking to communicate with 'witches,' haven't you already corrected it? Your sister recently messaged me saying you've changed a lot. I thought your rebellious phase was finally over! How come you're still so hesitant even in college?"

Before Zhang Qingzhe could respond, she continued bombarding him with questions: "How's school been lately? Have you made any friends? Have you met any girls you like and started dating? I asked your sister, but that girl absolutely refused to tell me! Honestly! None of them are easy to deal with. I'm a widow, working and raising two kids, do you think it's easy for me?"

Zhang Qingzhe opened his mouth, only to find that he couldn't get a word in edgewise.

"Oh, and don't neglect your studies! Also, be sure to take good care of your younger sister. While Mom is away on a business trip to the moon, the family will be relying on you."

"oh----"

Zhang Qingzhe responded blankly, then caught a key word: "The Moon?"

"Sigh, the projects here are very busy."

There was a hint of weariness in her voice, but it was quickly masked by a cheerful tone. "I've already transferred your living expenses. You two need to be careful with your money and not buy any unnecessary things."

"oh."

Zhang Qingzhe could only continue to give brief responses, his brain still processing the information about "business trip to the moon," and he had no idea what to say next.

"And keep an eye on your sister, don't let her open any more blind boxes, those are all capitalist traps. As her older brother, you need to care more about her, understand?"

"Huh!? Mom, what kind of job does she do?"

"Oh! Don't ask about that. Oh, right, there's something else important!"

Her mother's voice suddenly rose, carrying an undeniable tone, "I only recently found out that you have a cousin who's in the same grade as you! She's run into some trouble and needs help, so you should go meet her right away."

"What? My cousin?" Zhang Qingzhe was even more confused.

He suddenly realized that the main purpose of this "suddenly appearing" mother's phone call was probably this.

"Your cousin's bloodline—well, it's a little special."

Her mother lowered her voice slightly, her tone carrying a hint of caution, "When you meet them, don't show any strange attitude of dislike or resistance. After all, we're still relatives."

Listening to the rapid-fire chatter on the phone, Zhang Qingzhe couldn't help but interrupt and ask, "What's so special about her bloodline? Could it be—she's also a [witch]?"

"Hmm—you could call her a witch, but she's not a traditional witch."

Mom seemed to hesitate for a moment. "If you want to know the specifics, it's best to ask her in person. Anyway, I'll send you the meeting place. Go find her now, understand?"

"This—how come a cousin suddenly appeared—" Zhang Qingzhe was still a little confused.

"Stop nagging! The lunar communication relay satellite is about to change orbit, and the communication window is almost over! That's all for today, remember to visit your cousin!"

"Wait, Mom—"

"Beep—beep—beep—"

The phone was already busy.

Zhang Qingzhe stood blankly in the corridor, the strange yet familiar voice still echoing in his ears.

The setting sun outside the window had just broken free from the rain clouds, and a clear golden ray of light slanted in.

Through the clean glass, his tall figure was projected long onto the polished floor.

He stood there in the light, his slightly furrowed brows in deep thought, which was edged with a soft gold.

The lines of her profile are exceptionally clear under the light and shadow, giving her a serene, classical sculptural quality.

Occasionally, girls passing by on their way home from school would secretly slow down and glance at him.

But when their companions whisper and encourage them to go up and chat, they blush and run away shyly.

It took Zhang Qingzhe a long time to recover from the sudden bombardment of information.

Although he didn't fully understand what this "witch mother" was trying to do, he could deduce one thing—

This mother's "magic loop" is probably quite high.

Whether it's her outward appearance of youth and beauty that defies common sense, or her free-spirited and uninhibited personality in conversation.

All of this points to one fact: she is a witch among witches.

It seems that the younger sister's outstanding appearance and talent are largely inherited from her mother.

"Ding-dong."

The phone emitted a crisp notification sound.

A map location message came through, and the sender was clearly labeled "Your Mom".
