Gu Yan rubbed his neck as he left the Leng Family residence, looking somewhat troubled.
Ouch, ouch, ouch. It seems Qingqiu is angry again.
But there was nothing he could do about it.
He didn't know if it was because of practicing the Pure Love Cultivation Technique (practicing pure love makes you stronger), but now he could sense the presence of many special auras.
For example, as soon as he stepped through the gates of the Leng Family home, he noticed that besides Leng Qingqiu, there was actually another person present in the study.
The aura of this other presence was slightly different from Mei Xue's, but similar in that both of their auras had a chaotic feel to them, like throwing all the leftover food into one pot and cooking it together.
It must be another one of Qingqiu's subordinates.
However, when he approached the study, he found that the aura quickly fled outside and disappeared.
So Gu Yan guessed that Leng Qingqiu must also be able to sense his aura.
Originally, he had a good plan: first, spend a loving evening with Qingqiu.
Then, when it was about time to leave, he would go with Mei Xue to Xiao Lin's place to carry out his plan.
But now it seemed this plan wouldn't work.
If he were to meet with Mei Xue so close to Leng Qingqiu, she would likely sense it.
He didn't want Leng Qingqiu to know what he was doing behind her back at the moment.
Firstly, because Leng Qingqiu's affection for him hadn't yet reached a very high level.
If she found out that he wasn't as ordinary as he appeared on the surface, she would definitely become wary of him.
Secondly, regardless of her affection level, given Leng Qingqiu's villainous nature in the original story, if she discovered that he might not actually be an ordinary person...
The consequences would be unthinkable.
At that point, she might mistakenly think he was involved in that massacre years ago.
Then everything would be ruined.
Sigh.
Gu Yan let out a light sigh. Whatever, he'd take it one step at a time.
If he was discovered, he'd deal with it then.
"Alright, let's see where Mei Xue is."
Gu Yan called out to the system in his mind.
Begin locating Mei Xue.
.....
......
Jianghai City.
Inside a tea restaurant called "Night".
Waiters dressed in maid outfits and butler uniforms bustled between tables, carrying aromatic dishes.
At the cashier counter in the restaurant, a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses was observing everything in the store methodically.
This restaurant had a special feature.
From the staff to the manager, everyone was actually a blind person with their eyes covered by cloth!
"Customer No. 1 wants a bowl of pork chop rice with a fried egg."
"Alright, coming right up."
"Mei Xue, the customer at table 3 has left, go clear the table."
"Yes, manager."
Although Mei Xue had her eyes covered, she could still steadily stack dozens of plates.
"See, this is what makes this tea restaurant so impressive."
"Look, all the staff are blind, but they can carry plates and clean up just like they can see."
A customer was explaining to the friend he had brought along.
"It must all be fake. The cloth they're wearing over their eyes must be transparent from the inside."
The friend scoffed, refusing to believe in this so-called blind tea restaurant.
Just then.
"Would you two handsome gentlemen like to order something?"
A sweet voice came from beside the two men.
They turned in surprise to see:
A girl with long white hair in a high ponytail, wearing a maid outfit, holding a menu, with her eyes covered.
Although her eyes were covered and her full appearance couldn't be seen, she exuded an aura that made people want to cherish her.
Gulp.
The two men swallowed hard.
"Ah, this is my second time here. My... my friend is here for the first time."
Hearing this, the high-ponytailed girl lightly placed her hand by her mouth and spoke in a soft, cottony voice: "Oh? Then Lian Lian must take extra special care of the little brother who's here for the first time~"
Saying this, she put down the menu, reached out to hold the hand of the blushing first-timer, and moved his hand to point at the most expensive dish on the menu, priced at 8,888 yuan.
"This 'Love is Like Water' Tender Bone Ramen is one of Lian Lian's most recommended dishes!"
"It represents Lian Lian's deep love for you, little brother."
Love... love...
Feeling the warmth on his hand and the heavenly beauty so close, the first-timer was stunned.
He nodded dazedly: "Then I'll have one of those."
"I want one too!"
The second-timer quickly chimed in.
As soon as the words fell:
The high-ponytailed girl immediately withdrew her hand, picked up the menu, and called out to the kitchen with a gentle expression: "Two S-set meals."
Then she turned and left without looking back.
Ah, how boring. Why do we have to do this kind of thing here?
With her back to the two men, the girl instantly dropped her sweet smile, replacing it with a look of disgust.
Mei Xue, who was passing by clearing plates, said quietly: "Bai Lian, watch your expression, more customers are coming."
Hearing this, Bai Lian put on another sweet smile.
Old lady Mei Xue, just because you were summoned first and are favored by the master, you're acting all high and mighty.
Bai Lian was very disdainful in her heart.
But on the surface, she still sweetly said: "Okay, Sister Mei Xue!!"
Mei Xue couldn't be bothered to deal with this two-faced person.
She stacked dozens of plates in her hands and walked into the back kitchen.
Bai Lian gave her the middle finger behind her back.
The next second.
Ding-a-ling~~
The front door was pushed open.
Bai Lian quickly put on a smile and turned to greet: "Welcome~"
When she saw that the newcomer was a man outstanding in both looks and temperament, Bai Lian's eyes lit up.
Wow, it's a handsome guy!
Gu Yan walked into the tea restaurant called "Night".
He first looked around: there weren't too many or too few customers, with one or two staff members greeting people outside.
A middle-aged man wearing sunglasses stood at the cashier counter.
It looked just like an ordinary tea restaurant.
But... the aura freely emanating from inside, the same as Mei Xue and the others, made Gu Yan curl his lips into a smile.
Tsk tsk tsk.
Who would have thought, who would have thought.
So this is where the Night Organization's base from the original story was located.
The original story didn't specify exactly where the Night Organization's base was, only vaguely mentioning that it was hidden in Jianghai City.
"Little brother, Lian Lian hasn't seen you before. Is this your first time here?"
Seeing that Gu Yan wasn't speaking, Bai Lian thought he must have been captivated by her beauty.
She felt a hint of disdain in her heart. Tonight's meal ticket is secured.
He looks quite wealthy. I'll have him treat me to dinner at Jianghai City's most luxurious restaurant!
However, Gu Yan only glanced at Bai Lian before walking straight to an empty table.
?
Bai Lian, who had been ignored, slowly raised a question mark. Her expression was becoming difficult to maintain.
Ignoring me?
Hehe, playing hard to get, are we?
Rich people really know how to play games.
Bai Lian took a deep breath. She couldn't believe that any man could resist the charm naturally exuded by her alluring physique.
Thinking this, she put on a smile again and walked towards Gu Yan.

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
invincible power, Gu Changge transmigrates into a fantasy world, bound to a sign-in system that grants him cultivation rewards and various peerless treasures daily. While others struggle desperately to break through their cultivation realms, he has long since reached the pinnacle of the Great Dao, becoming a reclusive Emperor whose true strength even he himself cannot fathom. Originally planning to lie low and retire peacefully on Purple Bamboo Peak, the system suddenly issues a new task — take on disciples. With no other choice, Gu Changge casually picks up a few disciples: The eldest disciple, born with a War God Constitution, is thrown a copy of "War God Stratagems" by him, and ends up conquering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, becoming a peerless War God who sweeps across the cosmos. The second disciple, possessing a Chaos Sword Body, can break all techniques with a single sword, his swordsmanship unmatched throughout history. He points his sword at the heavens: "My master said, the sword and the man stand together. If the sword perishes... my master will give me another one." The third disciple, a reborn Empress who returns to her throne, her elegance and grace overshadowing all beings. And without anyone noticing, his own sect, the Qingxuan Sect, has become the number one sect on the continent. Looking at these unbelievably formidable disciples, Gu Changge, holding the "Primordial Purple Qi" he just signed in for, falls into deep thought: — Wasn't this supposed to be a peaceful retirement? How did I become the ultimate master?!
