...

Six ten in the afternoon.

Chen Lusi left Celestial Strategy Trading.

He was actually quite surprised.

Si Yujie would say those things to him.

So when going downstairs, he was slightly distracted, constantly thinking about Si Yujie's words.

Until he walked out of the building and saw Xia Panqiu and Shu Li.

The two stood at the building entrance, not sure what they were doing, one raising a fist, chasing, while the other dodged around.

Upon closer observation, the two were actually quite similar, both petite and delicate types, just with completely different styles.

One had twin ponytails, height and figure completely mismatched, with a strong anime vibe; the other had short shoulder-length hair, a much more normal figure, full of youthful energy.

Of course.

That was Chen Lusi's impression upon seeing their current state.

The two quickly noticed Chen Lusi.

Xia Panqiu immediately stopped her actions and lowered her fist.

While Shu Li stopped dodging, her eyes lit up, and she ran up to Chen Lusi.

Xia Panqiu didn't have time to stop her.

"Chen Lusi, you haven't talked to me just now... Have you forgotten about me?"

Shu Li came up to Chen Lusi, stopped abruptly, then straightened up, proudly looking at him: "Remember me as the one you punched in the Monkey Anomaly Realm?"

"I remember." Chen Lusi was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Shu Li continued to ask: "Do you still hold a grudge against me? If so, I can apologize, you can punch me again."

Not knowing what she wanted to say, Chen Lusi looked down at her for a while, then replied: "... No."

"That's good."

Shu Li immediately let out a sigh of relief, a bright smile shown on her face: "Then I'll say it straight, I think you're very handsome! Initially, in the Monkey Anomaly Realm, I thought you were really cool when hitting Sang Chao, but I found you even more handsome when you saved me from Mirror Flower Water Moon recently, and of course, there's also when you killed Yan Kan! In short, very comforting!

You're much better than so-called geniuses like Sang Chao!

So, do you have a girlfriend? Can I be your girlfriend?"

Chen Lusi: "...?"

On the other side, Xia Panqiu was stunned for a while, seemingly not expecting Shu Li to actually say it, and immediately ran up and raised her little fist again.

But Shu Li was actually stronger than her.

So she easily dodged.

Xia Panqiu found she couldn't hit Shu Li, and could only slowly lower her hand, pursing her red lips, looking at Chen Lusi.

Chen Lusi finally snapped out of it, shaking his head: "Sorry."

"Why?"

Shu Li's smile stiffened: "Is it because you have someone you like?"

Chen Lusi shook his head again: "It's unrelated."

"..."

Shu Li was silent for a moment, then continued to ask: "Is it because you think I'm stupid due to the Monkey Anomaly Realm incident?"

Chen Lusi thought about it: "No, it's just because I'm not familiar with you and don't like you."

"Oh."

Shu Li raised her little face, carefully looking at Chen Lusi for a while, then said softly: "I get it."

After saying that.

She lowered her head again, turned, and jogged away.

Chen Lusi watched her lightly swaying twin ponytails, just about to look away.

"By the way, thanks."

Shu Li suddenly stopped, turned her head: "You honestly don't think I'm stupid."

Then, without waiting for Chen Lusi to say anything, she jogged off and vanished from sight.

Chen Lusi watched the direction she disappeared for a while, then thoroughly looked away before looking at Xia Panqiu in front of him, silent for a moment: "... Do you know what's going on?"

"..."

Xia Panqiu pursed her red lips, recalling what had happened when that video first circulated in the group.

"Panqiu, he's so handsome!"

"Don't you feel very safe?"

"And do you remember? When we just came out of Mirror Flower Water Moon, like headless flies, he didn't call me an idiot and even held my ponytails teaching me what to do... It's the first time, usually on missions, they all think I'm stupid..."

"You probably don't like him, right?"

"I'm going to confess!"

"..."

Until now, she really hasn't figured out Shu Li's thought process.

So she didn't know what to say.

"Forget it."

Chen Lusi looked at Xia Panqiu for a while, thinking she might not understand either, stopped further inquiry, and headed towards Qinyuan and Mansion: "Let's go back."

Xia Panqiu snapped back to reality, unsure how to explain, simply not explaining, directly following Chen Lusi.

The two quietly walked forward, as if returning to those previous days.

"... By the way, what did Xiaoxiao tell you?"

As the distance lengthened.

Xia Panqiu regained her calmness, thought of something, suddenly asked.

"... What's up?" Chen Lusi looked at her, a bit puzzled, this wasn't something she would actively ask.

Xia Panqiu shook her head, not directly answering, but looked at Chen Lusi's side face, earnestly saying: "Regardless of what she said, remember not to try imitating Ah Yue's Authority Ability soon, it's very harmful when the soul becomes thin, absolutely don't do it.

Ah Yue's Authority is too special, the burden on you is definitely not small."

Chen Lusi halted his steps.

Xia Panqiu followed suit, watching him, thinking he was going to say something.

But Chen Lusi didn't speak, just looked at Xia Panqiu in front of him, then back at the location of Celestial Strategy Trading and the direction Shu Li left.

"She didn't ask you to try it, right?"

Xia Panqiu's face changed slightly.

"No."

Chen Lusi came back to his senses, shook his head, then continued forward: "Let's go."

Existence is meaningful...

...

At the same time.

Imperial Capital.

Yu Zhou rushed back from the sea, first thing he did was find Ji Xin.

Ji Xin still sitting in a wheelchair, except this time not playing with a dog, instead holding a laptop, not sure what she was looking at.

"How's it going?" Ji Xin noticed Yu Zhou, but didn't look up.

"Smooth sailing!"

Yu Zhou flicked her hair back: "With me in action, even little Ise Jingu didn't dare to fight back! It was easy to regain the upper hand."

"Okay."

Ji Xin finally moved her eyes away from the laptop: "Then head to Peng City now, meet up with Li Zheng and the others, head to the border nearby."
