The Master of the Hall of Hell

Afternoon.

The time of love was ultimately fleeting. Leng Qingqiu had company issues, revenge issues, and King of Hell Palace issues to deal with. It was impossible to remain in the realm of tenderness indefinitely.

Leng Qingqiu pulled Gu Yan aside and said to him, "Although Mei Xue is my best friend, she can't stay here forever. Gu Yan, why don't you see her off?"

Mei Xue also coughed dryly, "That's right, I have to work this afternoon. You can just drop me off at my workplace."

Gu Yan nodded, "Alright then."

As he spoke, he held Leng Qingqiu's small hand, gently caressing it. After all, he could only do this now. After indulging himself, he said softly, "Qingqiu, I'll be back later."

Leng Qingqiu forced a smile, while actually desperately wanting to pull her hand away from Gu Yan's grasp: "Okay, be safe on the road."

"I'm leaving then."

"Go ahead."

"I'm really leaving now."

"..."

Sensing a hint of murderous intent, Gu Yan reluctantly let go of her hand and left the Leng family home with Mei Xue.

After feeling the two of them leave, Leng Qingqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her face flushed with embarrassment as she clenched the hand that Gu Yan had been vigorously rubbing.

"That annoying guy! He really knows how to take a mile when given an inch!"

Never mind, the urgent matter at hand was still to investigate the King of Hell Palace.

After some thought, Leng Qingqiu turned and went upstairs.

Meanwhile, with Gu Yan.

He was driving his luxury car on the road, instructing: "Remember what I told you, you must protect Leng Ling'er's safety at all costs."

"Don't be as foolish as you were when dealing with Xiao Lin before. Remember, don't fight battles you can't win."

"Running away isn't something to be ashamed of. For the sake of finding your brother as soon as possible, you must stay alive to complete the task I've given you."

Mei Xue listened, feeling somewhat ashamed. She naturally knew that she had been too arrogant at the police station before, but she didn't want Gu Yan to lecture her here.

So she took a deep breath and said, "I understand."

After saying this, her form gradually disappeared, instantly leaving Gu Yan's car.

Seeing this, the corners of Gu Yan's mouth turned up slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of mysterious meaning.

Arriving at Jianghai High School.

Mei Xue hid in the darkness of night. She quickly found her mission target - Leng Ling'er.

The girl was currently in the classroom, frustratedly looking at the content in her textbook.

It seemed like she was studying or something.

Beside her was a girl eating snacks and laughing, who looked somewhat familiar, seemingly the young miss of the Bai family.

She seemed to be wearing some kind of accessory around her neck, but that wasn't important.

Mei Xue secretly sensed the surroundings and found no danger nearby.

It seemed the mission would be quite easy.

Just then, she frowned, because she noticed a skinny boy in a corner who kept staring at Leng Ling'er.

Was he an enemy?

Mei Xue looked carefully.

She saw that the skinny boy's eyes were full of admiration.

But within that admiration was also three parts timidity and four parts guilt...

Oh, so he was just a pure but useless boy.

Mei Xue sneered disdainfully. How could such a weak guy be worthy of the master's sister?

What a laughable clown, a toad lusting after swan's flesh.

Shaking her head, Mei Xue stopped observing the boy and instead focused intently on observing her surroundings to prevent any unexpected situations.

At the same time, she thought to herself that if it were her brother, he would also be about the age for college entrance exams.

She wondered how he was doing and if he had a girlfriend yet.

As Mei Xue thought about it, she couldn't help but smile. She really looked forward to meeting her brother again.

......

......

At the King of Hell Palace's headquarters, inside the Yan Xing Group.

In the office on the top floor.

An old man shakily picked up a document with his withered arm.

He carefully examined it. Opposite him stood a man with a stern expression.

He respectfully said, "Godfather, according to our investigation, Leng Qingqiu from the Leng family is indeed blind."

"The information we obtained from their company is about technology related to treating blindness."

Hearing this, the old man put down the document in his hand. He nodded, seemingly relieved, and said in a hoarse voice, "If that's the case, then we don't need to bother with the Leng family anymore. We've already made too many mistakes regarding the past events."

"If it weren't for 'that thing' being with the Leng family, we wouldn't have... cough cough cough!"

He was cut off mid-sentence by a fit of coughing, even coughing up fresh blood.

The stern-faced man's eyes revealed a hint of indifference, but on the surface, he still walked over, appearing concerned: "Godfather, are you alright? I'll call for a doctor right away."

"No need, this is all retribution."

Yan Huang's eyes revealed a hint of pain as he waved his hand: "The hidden injuries from the great battle years ago are too terrible. Ordinary medical methods can no longer cure them."

"Unless we find the person who caused this wound back then to heal it, there's no way to cure it."

The stern-faced man paused upon hearing this, then said mysteriously, "It's rumored that within the Dragon King Palace, there's a miracle doctor who can bring the dead back to life and mend broken bones. If we could get them to..."

Hearing this, Yan Huang's eyes widened, but he still shook his head and laughed bitterly, "The incident years ago shattered the Dragon King Jade, and even the old palace master's whereabouts are unknown, let alone the hidden Dragon King Palace."

"This is all fate..."

He looked seriously at the stern-faced man beside him: "Long'er, you're my most valued adopted son, so your godfather wants to tell you something from the heart. The Leng family is no longer the Leng family of the past. We've already made many mistakes in our efforts to eliminate the demonic path, affecting too many innocent people."

"So you must never again..."

Before he could finish speaking, Long Zaitian nodded solemnly: "Alright, godfather. I promise you."

Yan Huang nodded with satisfaction, closing his eyes contentedly as he leaned back in his chair: "Long'er, let me rest for a while. I'll leave the group's affairs to you."

"But remember, we cannot do anything that harms ordinary citizens."

"Our only goal is to eliminate the demonic path."

Long Zaitian responded, "Alright, godfather. I'll do as you say."

However... what Yan Huang could never have imagined was that when he closed his eyes to rest, Long Zaitian's eyes revealed a hint of contempt.

He mockingly looked at Yan Huang, who already had one foot in the grave.

In his heart, he sneered -

Old fool, your era has passed. With such immense power and influence at your disposal, you only think about hiding away in Jianghai. Rest assured, after you die, I will certainly unite the world under the King of Hell Palace!!

The first target will be the Leng family that you've felt guilty about for so many years!!

In the shadows, a butterfly fluttered silently, disappearing in an instant.
