Gu Wenzhu replied irritably, âIâll arrive by noon. Get yourself to the Sijiu City airport to pick me up. I need to straighten you out first.â
Qu Lingyun:
Yes, his dear teacher.
Here he was, a man in his thirties, still being treated this way.
Resigned, Qu Lingyun could only hurriedly book a night flight to Sijiu City.
Who exactly was the workaholic here?
The next morning.
Pei Yan returned from abroad, bringing along a master.
The Pei familyâs situation was dire, with several subsidiaries facing financial crises, and their contracts being snatched up by competitors.
If they couldnât turn things around urgently, theyâd only last two more days at most.
After that, not only would these companies fail, but Pei Yan would also be ousted as chairman by other family branches.
The middle-aged man, after inspecting the houseâs layout and examining the ashes and spirit tablets unearthed from several bedrooms, shook his head repeatedly.
Pei Yan asked, âMaster, what do you think?â
âMr. Pei, thereâs nothing I can do,â the man replied. âThis is a dead end, and itâs been like this for at least a decade. Iâm sorry, but this is beyond my abilities. I should take my leave.â
Pei Yan furrowed his brow.
Initially, he didnât believe a young girl could surpass real masters in this field.
But reality had proven otherwise.
After Si Fuqing removed items from Pei Mengzhiâs room, his condition had noticeably improved.
âSo, this Miss Si is truly formidable,â Pei Yan exhaled slowly. âWe must treat her as a guest of honor. Letâs prepare something and go now!â
âMiss Si wonât be free at this time,â Mrs. Pei glared at him. âShe finishes work at six. Donât disturb her. Think of something that might entice Miss Si to help us.â
âIâll think about it,â Pei Yan said seriously. âI remember grandfather left some ancient jade pieces in the safe. Money is indeed too mundane for masters like her, hardly of any use.â
âYes,â Mrs. Pei recalled. âQuick, get those jade pieces. Weâll send them to Miss Si tonight.â
âMom, donât rush,â Pei Mengzhi finally spoke. âMiss Si might not even fancy them.â
Mrs. Pei was adamant, âWeâll send them anyway. Itâs a pity we donât have a better son to offer. Otherwise, weâd send him first.â
She glanced disdainfully at Pei Mengzhi and went upstairs to retrieve the safe.
Pei Yan turned and hesitated, as he said, â1 donât see any improvement in your momâs condition. Didnât we cut down all the trees in the yard?â
Pei Mengzhi replied resignedly, ââ¦After watching last nightâs performance, sheâs become a diehard fan of Miss Si.â
Pei Yan: â What?
Elsewhere.
Si Fuqing, just arriving at the training base, received a flurry of calls from Qu Lingyun.
As soon as she answered, Qu Lingyun excitedly blurted out, âDid you know? Yun Lan is in Great Xia!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Si Fuqing:
She Imew.
It was she who had exposed the location.
Si Fuqing touched her chin, pondering.
But to have found out so quickly, had Zero or T18 been involved?
âWait for me,â Qu Lingyun spoke rapidly. âIâll pick up my teacher soon, then weâll go find her. After we find her, Iâll introduce you two. She has incredibly strong connections in the entertainment industry, enough to help you soar!â
Si Fuqing:
Indeed, she could give herself a boost.
Her voice grew serious, as she asked, âYour teacher is coming in person?â
âYes, and heâs the one who told me,â Qu Lingyun said. âHe scolded me too.â
Si Fuqing took a deep breath, âHeâs so old, why is he running around?â âAlthough heâs over seventy, heâs in great shape and can still run five
Kilometers. Besides, ItâS aDOut Yun Lan, or snoma 1 say⦠tne oreat Demon King Yun,â Qu Lingyun paused, his expression changing. âHow did you know my teacher is old?â
Not many people knew he was Gu Wenzhuâs student.
âJust a guess,â Si Fuqing casually brushed it off. âAt his age, he shouldnât worry too much. You should handle it.â
Qu Lingyun: â
Something about her words didnât sit right with him.
âWhat if you canât find her?â Si Fuqing paused. âGreat Xia Empire is so vast, how will you search?â
âIf we canât find her, weâll keep waiting,â Qu Lingyun said slowly. âSheâll come back eventually.â
Si Fuqing fell silent for a moment before smiling, âYes..â
