The guild leader of Huarong, Mao Yue, was recalled by an emergency call. She walked into the guild hall holding her latest boyfriend, her sweet smile turning into that of a furious harpy upon seeing the destroyed buildings in the hall, "Aaaahhh! Who! Who! My money!!!"
Seeing the president throw a tantrum, those who sensed trouble quickly scattered. A member who was in the process of repairing a building, startled by the commotion, accidentally interrupted their supernatural ability, causing the half-repaired structure to crumble to pieces again.
"President, you're finally back—oof!" One of the core members, their face alight with excitement, had barely approached Mao Yue before their collar was roughly grabbed.
Mao Yue's pigtails stood on end like terrifying antennae, her voice a chilling whisper from the abyss, "Speak! Who dared to destroy the guild? I'll kill them!"
The member, whose head was being shaken so violently they were dizzy and foaming at the mouth, managed to stammer out "in the conference room" before being mercilessly thrown aside, gasping for breath.
Mao Yue's entire aura exuded a terrifying, destructive rage. She kicked open the conference room door, "Which bastard dared to wreck the guild building? Come and pay with your life!!!"
Inside the conference room, Lu Zhi, seated beside Shen Qi, was startled by the sudden outburst. He cautiously asked, "Wh-who is that?"
Shen Qi toyed with one of Lu Zhi's hands, glancing at the fiery dragon, "The guild leader of Huarong, Mao Yue."
Lu Zhi was surprised to learn that the guild leader of Huarong was such a sweet-looking girl. Just as he was considering greeting her, he saw Mao Yue, who was radiating an aura of intense anger, catch sight of Shen Qi's profile. With a bang, she slammed the door shut, leaving behind a hurried "Sorry to disturb."
Everyone else: ...
Lu Zhi looked at the closed door, then stared thoughtfully at Shen Qi's profile for a moment, his eyes filled with suspicion. "Tell me, what's going on?"
What was that tone of interrogation?
Shen Qi cupped Lu Zhi's chin in one hand, then closed his fingers, puckering Lu Zhi's lips into a goldfish-like pout. "Tsk, with that tone, you sound like you've caught someone in the act."
Lu Zhi: "Let go, how can I talk when you're pinching me like this!" Lu Zhi rubbed his cheeks and turned to ask Lu Chengxuan directly, "Brother, you must know, President Mao Yue ran off as soon as she saw Shen Qi. Is there something going on between them!"
Lu Chengxuan wanted to add fuel to the fire at this opportunity, but he truly knew nothing about it.
"What nonsense are you thinking?" Shen Qi flicked Lu Zhi's forehead.
Lu Zhi bared his teeth, rubbing his forehead, and asked Jiang Shi, "Vice President Jiang must know, right!"
Jiang Shi glanced at Shen Qi and hesitated, "Well... actually, it was a beautiful... misunderstanding."
Under Lu Zhi's repeated questioning, Jiang Shi finally stammered out the story.
"Hahahaha..." After hearing the story, Lu Zhi burst into unrestrained laughter, "Really? President Mao Yue really teased him? Hahahaha..."
Shen Qi looked helplessly at Lu Zhi's uncontrollable laughter, "Is it really that funny?"
The guild leader of Huarong, Mao Yue, was notoriously a playgirl and a flirt. Every good-looking man she encountered was teased by her. She herself was not bad-looking; she possessed fame, strength, beauty, and wealth. However, she was quite fickle and prone to moving on, never dating a boyfriend for more than three months.
Back then, Shen Qi had just become the captain of the first team. During a mission, he accidentally bumped into some of Mao Yue's guild members. Then, that woman's lust got the better of her, and the first thing she said to Shen Qi was, 'Little handsome, want to spend a night with me? How about I keep you?'
"Hahahaha..." Lu Zhi never expected Shen Qi to have such a romantic past, "Wh-what happened later? What was Shen Qi's reaction?"
Jiang Shi dared not continue, mainly because Shen Qi's sidelong glance was too terrifying.
Lu Zhi's curiosity piqued. Seeing Jiang Shi's hesitation, he decided to ask Shen Qi himself.
Shen Qi gently pinched Lu Zhi's ear and said calmly, "I ignored her. She just wanted to use forceful means on me."
Lu Zhi's eyes widened, "Heavens, she wanted to use force on you too! Hahahaha..."
