After leaving Pan Ning's room, Su Yang quickly went down to the second floor.
When he reached the second-floor stairwell, he tilted his head to look at an open-door room a few meters down the hallway and walked over.
Looking inside from the doorway, he saw Su Qingci sitting on the sofa drinking water.
"Brother Su Yang?"
"Hey, nice room, huh~"
"Mhm, it's very comfortable. I especially love this balcony."
Su Yang smiled and walked into the room.
Seeing Su Yang enter, Su Qingci subconsciously grew a bit nervous, her heart starting to beat uncontrollably fast again.
When she was with everyone else, it was still okay; she could control it. But now, whenever she was alone with Su Yang, she couldn't help but recall last night's events in her mind.
The more she thought about it, the more restless she became. She looked at Su Yang, suddenly stood up, walked to the door, and closed it with a pull.
Su Yang was taken aback and turned to look at Su Qingci: "You... closed the door..."
"Brother Su Yang." Su Qingci bit her lip, took a deep breath, lifted her head to reveal a stunningly beautiful face, and stammered, "About yesterday... could you please not tell anyone..."
Hearing this, Su Yang thought to himself: 'Of course I won't say anything.'
"Uh... I won't tell."
"Phew~ That's good. Then let's not mention this matter again in the future, okay?"
Su Yang looked at Su Qingci, who seemed to have stepped out of an ancient painting, and nodded: "Okay, won't mention it."
Su Qingci breathed a sigh of relief: "Then, Brother Su Yang, you go put your luggage away~"
"Alright, you rest for a bit. Later, we'll go explore the ancient town."
"Okay."
Soon, Su Yang arrived at the door of his own room on the first floor. At that moment, the door to room number 11 not far away was also wide open.
Su Yang tilted his head to look, then took out his key card and opened his own room.
Just as he was about to enter, Zhong Qing from next door walked out, smiling brightly with her hands behind her back.
"Su Yang~"
"Why do you keep calling me by my full name? I'm probably older than you, you should call me Brother Yang~"
"No, I'll just call you Su Yang."
Su Yang shook his head helplessly: "Fine, fine, call me whatever you like." As he said this, he stepped into the room.
Zhong Qing trotted in after him.
All the room types in this courtyard were basically the same, with no major differences.
After entering, Su Yang casually tossed his bag onto the sofa and walked into the living room's bathroom.
Zhong Qing followed him in with a smile and sat down on a chair.
She called out towards the bathroom door: "Su Yang, how many days are you planning to play in Li City?"
Su Yang's voice came from inside the bathroom: "Probably just today and tomorrow, we have to leave the day after."
"So soon? I was thinking of playing a few more days, but it's fine. Anyway, you're all from Hai City, we can go back together then."
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~
The sound of flushing came from the bathroom, then Su Yang washed his hands, opened the door, and came out.
Drying his hands, he said, "Who said we're going back to Hai City?"
"Not going back to Hai City?"
"Mhm, actually, let me tell you about this." Su Yang said, throwing the hand towel into the trash bin and walking over to sit on the lounge chair on the balcony.
"This time it's a road trip. We're going to many places. The next stop should be heading north into Sichuan Province, then taking National Highway 328 into Tibet to reach Holy City (Lhasa). After that, we're going to cross an uninhabited area to enter Xinjiang Province, and finally reach Lake Saimu~"
While speaking, Su Yang glanced at Zhong Qing's facial expression. He saw her mouth agape, eyes wide open, face frozen in astonishment.
'Hehe, looking like that, she probably won't be coming with us.'
"So, this time we'll be out for a very long time. When we leave the day after tomorrow, you should head back to Hai City on your own. I'll reimburse you for your flight here and your return flight to Hai City. Okay?"
After Su Yang finished speaking, Zhong Qing rolled her eyes and said, "Not okay."
"Huh?"
"Your itinerary this time sounds really fun. I want to go with you." Zhong Qing said, standing up somewhat excitedly.
Su Yang frowned slightly: "No, we made thorough preparations for this trip. You came here on a whim with no gear. What are you going to do coming with us? We've met, we've gotten acquainted. The day after tomorrow, just obediently go back to Hai City, okay?"
Zhong Qing shook her head: "Not going back~"
Su Yang narrowed his eyes at Zhong Qing, "Don't you have to work? Uh... no, don't you have to go to school? Won't your family worry about you?"
Zhong Qing gave a gentle smile: "No, I just need to let them know. As for school, I don't need to go. I've already graduated."
"Graduated?"
"Aren't you only 21? Normally you'd graduate at 22, right? Don't tell me you went to a junior college?"
"How could that be? My academic performance was very good. I skipped a grade in middle school."
Hearing this, Su Yang finally understood: "Oh, oh, I see."
"Right. And my parents are very open-minded people. As long as I'm not doing anything bad, they let me do what I want."
"But you're a young girl. Aren't they worried about your safety?"
"I told them I'm traveling with friends. Why would they worry?"
"Alright then... suit yourself~"
"Hehe, I knew you were a good person, Su Yang. The moment I saw you, I knew I didn't come for nothing!"
Su Yang smiled wryly and shook his head.
"By the way." Zhong Qing sat back down and continued, "You said you have a girlfriend. The girls staying in the other two courtyards probably aren't, so it can only be one of the two in our courtyard."
"But from my observation, the most likely one is that beautiful sister on the third floor, right?"
"And~"
"And what?"
"The other three girls definitely like you too." Zhong Qing stated with certainty.
Su Yang looked at Zhong Qing and said flatly, "Don't go prying into things you shouldn't~"
"Hehe, you saying that means you admit it."
Su Yang: "..."
"So, one more person like me wouldn't make a difference, right~ Hehe."
"You... uh, there are a few single handsome guys in our group. Maybe you could consider them? They're all great people, and wealthy too."
Zhong Qing got up, walked onto the balcony, and looked at Su Yang: "I'm not short on money, and I came here for you. I'm not interested in anyone else."
Their gazes met, and once again Su Yang was left speechless by Zhong Qing's words.
A few seconds later, he nodded: "Alright then~"
After saying this, Su Yang called out in his mind.
— In that case, System, bind!
[Ding, binding successful. Zhong Qing's favorability towards the host: 80]
— What?? That high???
— Is it really love at first sight?
[It seems so]

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
