Gu Wenzhu replied irritably, “I’ll arrive by noon. Get yourself to the Sijiu City airport to pick me up. I need to straighten you out first.”
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 family’s situation was dire, with several subsidiaries facing financial crises, and their contracts being snatched up by competitors.
If they couldn’t turn things around urgently, they’d 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 house’s layout and examining the ashes and spirit tablets unearthed from several bedrooms, shook his head repeatedly.
Pei Yan asked, “Master, what do you think?”
“Mr. Pei, there’s nothing I can do,” the man replied. “This is a dead end, and it’s been like this for at least a decade. I’m sorry, but this is beyond my abilities. I should take my leave.”
Pei Yan furrowed his brow.
Initially, he didn’t believe a young girl could surpass real masters in this field.
But reality had proven otherwise.
After Si Fuqing removed items from Pei Mengzhi’s room, his condition had noticeably improved.
“So, this Miss Si is truly formidable,” Pei Yan exhaled slowly. “We must treat her as a guest of honor. Let’s prepare something and go now!”
“Miss Si won’t be free at this time,” Mrs. Pei glared at him. “She finishes work at six. Don’t disturb her. Think of something that might entice Miss Si to help us.”
“I’ll think about it,” Pei Yan said seriously. “I remember grandfather left some ancient jade pieces in the safe. Money is indeed too mundane for masters like her, hardly of any use.”
“Yes,” Mrs. Pei recalled. “Quick, get those jade pieces. We’ll send them to Miss Si tonight.”
“Mom, don’t rush,” Pei Mengzhi finally spoke. “Miss Si might not even fancy them.”
Mrs. Pei was adamant, “We’ll send them anyway. It’s a pity we don’t have a better son to offer. Otherwise, we’d send him first.”
She glanced disdainfully at Pei Mengzhi and went upstairs to retrieve the safe.
Pei Yan turned and hesitated, as he said, “1 don’t see any improvement in your mom’s condition. Didn’t we cut down all the trees in the yard?”
Pei Mengzhi replied resignedly, “…After watching last night’s performance, she’s become a diehard fan of Miss Si.”
Pei Yan: ” 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, “Did you know? Yun Lan is in Great Xia!”
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?
“Wait for me,” Qu Lingyun spoke rapidly. “I’ll pick up my teacher soon, then we’ll go find her. After we find her, I’ll introduce you two. She has incredibly strong connections in the entertainment industry, enough to help you soar!”
Si Fuqing:
Indeed, she could give herself a boost.
Her voice grew serious, as she asked, “Your teacher is coming in person?”
“Yes, and he’s the one who told me,” Qu Lingyun said. “He scolded me too.”
Si Fuqing took a deep breath, “He’s so old, why is he running around?” “Although he’s over seventy, he’s in great shape and can still run five
Kilometers. Besides, It’S aDOut Yun Lan, or snoma 1 say… tne oreat Demon King Yun,” Qu Lingyun paused, his expression changing. “How did you know my teacher is old?”
Not many people knew he was Gu Wenzhu’s student.
“Just a guess,” Si Fuqing casually brushed it off. “At his age, he shouldn’t worry too much. You should handle it.”
Qu Lingyun: ‘
Something about her words didn’t sit right with him.
“What if you can’t find her?” Si Fuqing paused. “Great Xia Empire is so vast, how will you search?”
“If we can’t find her, we’ll keep waiting,” Qu Lingyun said slowly. “She’ll come back eventually.”
Si Fuqing fell silent for a moment before smiling, “Yes..”
