"Are you really leaving?"
The next morning, after breakfast, Ye Feng informed Xie Yuyan that he would be going out later.
"Yes, I’m currently working as a tutor and bodyguard. I have to go teach my student every weekend."
"But today isn’t the weekend."
Xie Yuyan, wearing the dress Ye Feng had bought her the day before, couldn’t bring herself to smile. She had thought they would spend the entire day together.
"There’s a special situation today. Last night, I was asked to meet someone at Su Corporation."
"Is it a man or a woman?"
For some reason, Xie Yuyan blurted out this question, and from the way she swallowed hard, it was clear she cared deeply about the answer.
"It’s probably a girl."
"Oh..."
At this, Xie Yuyan’s heart felt as if it were being pricked by needles. The thought of Ye Feng being with another woman made her extremely uncomfortable.
"Then... how long will you be gone, Ye Feng?"
Xie Yuyan knew that trying to stop Ye Feng at this point would be futile. She just needed to gradually build their relationship. Besides, perhaps Ye Feng’s students only saw him as a teacher. She didn’t need to be so sensitive.
"I’ll probably just meet them and come back. Honestly, I don’t really want to go, but it’s part of my job."
Ye Feng changed his clothes and headed to the door, with Xie Yuyan silently following behind, watching him.
"Be careful on the way."
"Don’t worry."
"Bang."
As the door closed, the house fell silent again. Xie Yuyan stood at the door, staring blankly at the spot where Ye Feng had left. The smile on her face vanished, and the unease in her heart surged once more.
"Don’t... don’t go, okay?"
"Ye Feng..."
The ticking clock on the wall felt like a hammer pounding on Xie Yuyan’s heart. As a former assassin, she had never felt fear or loneliness before. But now, she hugged herself tightly and crouched down, trying to calm her restless heart.
Why... why am I feeling this way? Why?
Xie Yuyan touched her flushed cheeks, as if realizing something.
She was no longer the cold-blooded killer she once was. Perhaps this was her true self now.
......
Is this the place?
After taking a taxi to the Su Building, Ye Feng checked the address Ah Fu had sent him on his phone and confirmed it was correct before heading toward the entrance.
Just as Ye Feng reached the door, two stern security guards stopped him. Despite their imposing appearance, one of them spoke respectfully, "Hello, sir. Are you an employee of the company? Without a work badge, you can’t enter."
"Ah... I’m not an employee. I was called here to meet someone."
"Who are you meeting?"
"I’m here to see..."
Just as Ye Feng was about to say Su Yuxin’s name, a cute voice called out from behind him.
"Big brother! What are you doing here?"
Huh? That voice sounds familiar.
Before Ye Feng could turn around, the two security guards in front of him looked startled and were about to salute when Su Yuxin, standing behind Ye Feng, stopped them with a gesture.
Su Yuxin put her finger to her lips, signaling the guards to stay silent. At that moment, Ye Feng turned around.
When he saw Su Yuxin’s face, Ye Feng opened his mouth to say something but couldn’t recall who this girl was, though she seemed familiar.
Seeing Ye Feng’s confusion, Su Yuxin pouted and said, "Big brother, don’t you remember me? We met just a few days ago."
"A few days ago... Oh! You’re the girl from the elevator!"
With Su Yuxin’s reminder, Ye Feng finally remembered her. It wasn’t that his memory was bad; he was just focused on his mission, and everything else had been pushed to the back of his mind.
"Looks like your memory isn’t too bad, big brother~"
Hearing that Ye Feng still remembered her, Su Yuxin happily pinched the hem of her skirt. She was glad she had dressed up today, or else she would have been embarrassed.
Looking at this golden-haired loli in front of him, Ye Feng couldn’t help but marvel at how all the girls he knew were so beautiful.
Unlike others, Su Yuxin had short, golden hair with two small braids tied with butterfly ribbons on either side of her face. Her bangs reached just above her eyebrows, and her petite stature made her look like a child.
But one feature completely shattered Ye Feng’s assumptions—it was something Li Mucheng didn’t have: the difference between a small hill and a flat plain.
It seems this girl is quite picky with her food, and all the nutrients went to other places.
"By the way, big brother, what are you doing here? Are you here to apply for a job?"
Su Yuxin couldn’t help but lean closer to Ye Feng. Looking at his handsome face, which made her heart flutter, she felt like she was bubbling with joy.
"Well... I’m not sure. I’m just here to meet someone."
"Meet someone? Leave it to me! I can help you find anyone, big brother~"
In just a few words, Su Yuxin had dropped the "big" and simply called him "brother," making it sound much more intimate. Every time she called him "brother," her heart skipped a beat.
Ah... I can’t believe I ran into big brother here. I’m so happy! Forget that jerk Ye Feng! I’m going to spend the day with big brother~
Ever since the elevator incident, Su Yuxin had already considered Ye Feng her prince charming. Meeting him again only made her more convinced that it was fate, and they were destined to meet.
Since fate brought us together, of course, I’ll gladly accept it~
"Is this really okay? Will they let us in?"
"Don’t worry, big brother, just follow me~"
Having read many romance novels and watched countless dramas, Su Yuxin knew that opportunities were for those who seized them. Beneath her innocent girl facade was a little devil with a spade-shaped tail.
In an instant, Su Yuxin grabbed Ye Feng’s hand and, blushing, led him inside under the astonished gazes of the security guards.
......
"Oh no... the young miss has been whisked away by that pretty boy."
"Yeah! In all the years we’ve been guarding this door, nothing made us happier than seeing the young miss smile. But now, some guy has her all excited. It’s so frustrating."
"Quick, let’s inform the president! He’ll definitely be angry!"
"Right! It’s like that guy rolled up in a flashy car, called the president an old man, and took the young miss away! This is a blatant provocation!!!"
Clearly, Su Yuxin’s adorable appearance was universally acknowledged...

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
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.
