With a sense of humiliation, she lowered her head, âMiss-Miss Si, Iâm sorry, earlier I, I am truly sorryâ¦â
The thought that Si Fuqing might malign her in front of Lin Bojian, ensuring sheâd face severe consequences, brought tears to Lin Wansuâs eyes. Lin Bojian, unable to contain his irritation, snapped, âWhy are you crying?
Whats the big deal?â
Si Fuqing, paying no heed to Lin Wansu, said, âUncle Lin, Iâll be leaving now.â
âSure, sure,â Lin Bojian, ignoring Lin Wansu, smiled and said, âIâll have Qingchen and Jihuan walk you out. I need to discuss the project further with the other shareholders.â
The surrounding shareholders chimed in with a laugh, âWithout Miss Si, we truly wouldnât have secured this project.â
Lin Wansuâs ears buzzed, and she didnât even realize how she left the place.
Lin Qingchen and Lin Jihuan escorted Si Fuqing out.
Nearby, a tall and imposing man narrowed his eyes and slowly said, âCheck this Si Fuqing for me.â
His assistant responded respectfully, âYes, Mr. Ll.â
Outside.
âQingqing, Iâll be waiting for you at Northern State No. 1 Middle School,â Lin Jihuan said reluctantly. âI can tutor you!â
Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow, âAlright, see you on the day I report.â Lin Jihuan nodded eagerly.
She had already planned her schedule for the next semester.
There wasnât much new knowledge to learn in her senior year; she just needed to practice more exams to free up time to visit Si Fuqing on the set of âCrossing the Demon Realm.â
Thinking of a wonderful senior year, Lin Jihuan poked Nian Yiâan on QQ.
[Lin Jihuan]: Desk mate, Iâm coming back tomorrow. Bring the exams youâve done, and letâs meet at the coffee shop.
[Nian Yiâan]: â¦Why donât you just pretend Iâm dead.
[Lin Jihuan]: No way, Iâm telling you Iâm full of energy now. Tutoring you will definitely be more effective.
Reading the words âfull of energy,â Nian Yiâan suddenly felt it was a mistake to let Lin Jihuan tutor him.
âYiâan,â Ye Zhenmian Imocked on the door, âhave you finished your homework?â
Nian Yiâan sighed, âNot yet.â
âYouâve been studying too long today,â Ye Zhenmian said. âIâve made some late-night snacks for you. Come out and eat something.â
Nian Yiâan rubbed his head and got up to eat.
Ye Zhenmianâs cooking was indeed delicious, both in taste and appearance.
âMom, whatâs the filling in this glutinous rice ball?â Nian Yiâan bit into a chilled rice ball, âItâs pretty good.â
âThatâs great,â Ye Zhenmian was relieved. âItâs a new snack I invented. If you like it, other students will definitely enjoy it too.â
Nian Yiâan: â
Turns out he was just a guinea pig for taste testing.
Nian Yiâan quickly finished a bowl and returned to his room to continue working on the practice exams.
In Sijiu City.
Feng San pushed Yu Xiheng to the parking lot.
He found it odd to see Yu Tang returning alone, âWhere is Miss Si? Didnât you see her, Miss Yu Tang?â
âNo,â Yu Tang deflated, âWhen I got there, Qingqing was already gone. I donât know if Queen Lu took her away.â
âIt shouldnât be, â Feng San was uncertain. âMiss Lu just got married. Even if she wanted to invite Miss Si, Mr. Shen would definitely not agree.â Yu Tang grew anxious, âThen Qingqing might be in trouble?â
Feng Sanâs expression changed too.
With so many influential families attending today, Si Fuqings beauty was undeniable, and it was indeedpossible that something could happen.
Someone might act recklessly.
Feng San immediately said, âBrother Nine, letâs go look for Miss Si.â Yu Xiheng finally spoke, âNo need, sheâs currently enjoying herself.â
Feng San:
Yu Xiheng put down his phone.
It displayed a message sent just a few minutes ago.
[Miss]: Boss, I found a new toy, off to play
Feng San saw this message.
The emoticon smiley face at the end gave him goosebumps all over in an instant.
Yu Xiheng turned off the phone screen and glanced indifferently at Feng San, who was shivering, âSheâs not playing you.â
Feng San:
He knew that, but he couldnât control his bodyâs reaction.
Feng San carefully asked, âSo, we just wait for Miss Si here?â Yu Xi Heng closed his eyes, âYou take Yu Tang back.â âAlright.â Feng San immediately left with Yu Tang.
Meanwhile, in an abandoned underground parking garage.
Si Fuqing slowly opened her eyes.
The surroundings were pitch black, illuminated only by a few lights.
âSi Fuqing, didnât expect to end up in my hands, did you?â Zuo Xianyuâs gaze was filled with both pleasure and hatred. âStill dreaming of mingling with the great elites? Letâs see if anyone comes to save you.â
Si Fuqingâs gaze was casual, âStolen things are gone, so is your brain.â
This statement hit a nerve with Zuo Xianyu, her voice rising in pitch,
âNonsense! It was mine to begin with, what did I steal?!â
âMiss Zuo, donât be angry,â Fujisan Shinji interjected. âAnger harms the body and could disrupt the upcoming transfer of luck.â
Zuo Xianyu calmed down.
Si Fuqing looked up, her eyes narrowing, âTransfer of luck?â
âFirst, allow me to introduce myself,â Fujisan Shinji smiled politely. âMy name is Fujisan Shinji, and this is my junior brother, Fujisan Kotei.â
âWe are disciples of Master Fujisan Shinya. But with your knowledge, you probably havenât even heard of the Fujisan surname.â
Master Fujisan Shinya had secluded himself for a long time and had mentioned before his seclusion that he came to the Great Xia Empire thirteen years ago, hoping to gain some experience from Masters of Yin-yang. Instead, he encountered a Lady of Luck whose luck had been almost entirely plundered.
The terrifying thing about that Lady of Luck was that even if she lost ninety percent of her luck, the remaining ten percent wasstill unimaginably vast.
Master Fujisan Shinyaâs decision to transfer the Lady of Luckâs fortune to the
7.110 family was merely to hone his own abilities
However, upon returning, Master Fujisan Shinya often sighed regretfully, saying if he had visited Sijiu City earlier, he might have met a Lady of Luck with a full hundred percent of her luck, which would have been truly beneficial for the Fujisan family.
A mere ten percent of luck did not catch their interest.
Fujisan Shinji looked at Si Fuqing with pity.
It was a pity the Lady of Luck herself didnât know she was a Lady of Luck, having her luck stolen from her.
âIâve heard of the Fujisan surname,â Si Fuqing replied calmly. âIn the year 704 of the Xia calendar, your ancestor crossed over to the Great Xia, learning the ways of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements from the ancestor of the JI family of the Great Xia. After mastering it, he returned and established the Fujisan family lineage. â
âI read in the history books that to gain the approval of the JI familyâs ancestor, your ancestor would rise at the third watch of the night to clean the JI familyâs courtyard, serve tea and water, working tirelessly.â
This statement caused the expressions of Fujisan Shinji and Fujisan Kotei to darken.
The historical record was indeed true.
Even though the Fujisan family might have tried to obscure this part of their history, it remains an indelible fact.
Twenty years after the death of Emperor Yin, the Great Xia entered an unprecedented golden age.
Nations far and wide came to pay homage, and envoys and merchants from all directions visited the Great Xia.
But times have changed.
Not just ordinary people, even if the JI family were to emerge again, they wouldnât be able to stand against the Fujisan family.
Otherwise, the JI family wouldnât be unaware of the emergence of a Lady of Luck within the Great Xia.
âMiss, you seem to have studied history well,â Fujisan Shinji said with a forced smile. âGiven your knowledge of history, you should understand how weak your Great Xia is now, with only the Supernatural Management Bureau being notable.â
âBut donât count on the Supernatural Management Bureau to come. Tonight is a full moon, and many evolved beings will lose control of their powers. Theyâre too busy.â
âFujisan Shinya, his junior brother Fujisan Kenji,â Si Fuqing nodded slowly, her smile broadening.. âDo you know how he died?â
