Meanwhile, far across the sea.
An island training base.
A man in a blue-green uniform was furious after watching the live broadcast.
He smashed his phone on the spot.
"Damn it, how could Big Sister agree to date someone named Su Yang?"
Behind him, densely packed soldiers stood ready, holding firearms.
These men exuded a murderous aura, each a veteran who had patrolled the borders of Long Country for years, safeguarding national security.
"Someone, find out who this Su Yang is for this seat."
"Yes!"
As soon as Su Yang arrived home, he found the house full of women waiting for him.
Yang Mange smiled gently, holding up a poem she had copied.
"Su Yang, I didn't expect you could write poetry. It seems I've struck gold!"
Meng Lianxin put her hands on her hips, her face a mask of anger. "Mange, I think we should just take this guy's kidneys, or he'll keep chasing after other women."
Yang Mange chuckled. "Hehe, Lianxin, I heard that you and Su Yang were on the piano at the academy..."
"Alright, alright, I surrender. You know my feelings anyway. I want to be with you forever!"
"What's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours. We're good sisters, we share everything!"
Being discovered by Yang Mange, Meng Lianxin blushed a little and gestured for her to stop bringing up that night.
Su Yang casually sat between them, taking the red wine handed to him by Zhou Chengcheng. "Mange, is the company's TV drama production going smoothly recently?"
"It's okay. It's just that Li Chunfeng just transitioned, so the filming progress is a bit slow. It's not a big problem."
Su Yang remembered that Li Chunfeng used to act as a young heartthrob. "Mhm, then you can't overwork yourself. Let your assistants do more of the work."
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
Yang Mange smiled, not pressing Su Yang about his participation in the blind date show.
"Lianxin, you like music, don't you? Then you'll be the principal of the branch campus. Go and prepare."
Meng Lianxin's mouth fell open in disbelief that Su Yang would entrust the music academy, which was under construction, to her.
"Su Yang, you're too good to me. Should I reward you right now?"
Meng Lianxin blinked and pointed upstairs.
"I haven't had an in-depth conversation with Mange for a few days. Not tonight."
Su Yang shook his head and pulled Yang Mange upstairs.
Meng Lianxin followed closely behind. "Su Yang, I'm not suggesting a threesome."
"I am!"
"Your suggestion is useless. Just lie down obediently. Mange and I will do the work!"
After the three went upstairs, Zhou Chengcheng wore a bitter expression. "It's over, it's over. Tonight will be another sleepless night!"
Jiang Wanying smiled, covering her mouth. "Don't be afraid, Sister Cheng. I'll count sheep with you!"
The night passed without incident.
At dawn, Su Yang, who was fast asleep, woke up to find his pillow companions gone.
The pillows on both sides were still warm and carried a faint scent, suggesting that Yang Mange and Meng Lianxin had only left recently.
Su Yang quickly washed up and went downstairs to prepare for breakfast.
"Chengcheng, where did they all go?"
"Director Yang went to the company, Sister Lianxin went to inspect work at Coast Village, and Sister Wanying took Young Master Zhou Li out for a walk."
Su Yang suddenly realized. He almost forgot that Zhou Li was still here. He planned to give him acupuncture again today to see if his intelligence could be restored to normal.
— Knock, knock, knock!
A series of knocks came from the door.
"Who is it?"
"Young Master Su, it's Xiao Qi."
"Hmm? Why is this girl here?"
Su Yang put down his chopsticks and personally opened the door to greet them.
At first glance, Duan Linglong was also there.
"Mr. Su, there's no need to be surprised. I said yesterday that I would visit you!"
"Please come in!"
Duan Linglong and Duan Xiaoqi helped Duan Xiao San inside, appearing to be seeking medical treatment.
Su Yang observed that Duan Xiao San's blood had turned red, and she no longer needed to wear an eye patch.
Duan Xiao San, with a blush on her face and ears, pulled at her skirt. "Divine Doctor Su, do I need to have needles inserted like before?"
"If you're willing, that would be even better!"
— Pfft! Why did I say that? I should have just ordered her to undress.
Su Yang cursed himself. Duan Xiao San relaxed considerably.
Duan Linglong, on the other hand, was preoccupied with the Scroll of Immortality and said she wanted to look around.
Su Yang used his clairvoyance on Duan Linglong and saw that she indeed had two sheepskin scrolls hidden at the Cultural Relics Association.
They were similar to his own and were likely part of the Scroll of Immortality.
Su Yang didn't expose her and let her wander around on her own.
Duan Xiao San rolled up her sleeve, revealing her fair, smooth shoulder. "Divine Doctor Su, I'm ready."
"After I insert the needles, if you get tired of sitting, you can lie on the sofa."
Su Yang inserted several needles, and Duan Xiao San's hands became powerless, hanging limply at her sides.
Duan Xiao Qi clasped her fingers together. "Divine Doctor Su, I watched the live broadcast last night. Do you really like my Big Sister?"
"This... Of course!"
Su Yang could only say yes, gritting his teeth. In reality, he didn't believe in love at first sight; he just wanted the Scroll of Immortality.
Duan Xiao Qi looked disappointed and fiddled with her fingers, her head bowed.
Seeing this, Duan Xiao San sighed.
One afraid to confess, one a dullard.
"Divine Doctor Su, my Xiao Qi thinks about you day and night!"
"Ah? Third Sister, I didn't! I'm not..."
Duan Xiao Qi panicked and quickly pulled her third sister away, stopping her from speaking.
Su Yang was stunned. He recalled a few days ago when Duan Xiao Qi had invited him to the tall tower, and she had seemed hesitant to speak.
— This damn charm of mine!
Duan Xiao San pushed her sister's hand away and stated directly, "Divine Doctor Su, actually, our parents have been gone for a long time.
Little Six and Little Seven were raised by Big Sister, so this girl has always yearned for a strong man to protect her."
Su Yang suddenly understood. No wonder he hadn't heard anyone mention the older generation of the Duan family.
He remembered that when Duan Xiao San had her episode, there were no other men in the room besides him and Physician Chen.
"Third Sister, if you keep talking nonsense, I won't talk to you anymore..."
Duan Xiao Qi's heart fluttered like a startled deer. She lowered her head and hurried outside.
Su Yang felt a little awkward, wondering if he should chase after her.
Fortunately, Zhou Chengcheng arrived. "Director Su, the person upstairs has disappeared."
The villa was too large, and there were too many rooms.
Zhou Chengcheng had lost track of Duan Linglong and was afraid that something in the house might go missing.
"Third Sister, please sit. I'll go find some medicine to replenish your health."
"Okay, thank you for your trouble!"
Duan Xiao San secretly rejoiced. This fellow was actually calling her Third Sister.
Su Yang quietly went to the second floor and searched through more than a dozen rooms but couldn't find Duan Linglong.
"Could she have found the storage room?"
Su Yang muttered to himself and walked towards the storage room.
At first glance, Duan Linglong was indeed rummaging through things in the storage room, holding a short outfit from the Senju Tsunade costume.
"I didn't expect Miss Duan to like these things."
"No, it's not... I was just..."
Duan Linglong was startled by him and hid the outfit behind her.
"If you weren't looking for clothes, what else were you looking for?"
Su Yang pressed closer, his face inches from Duan Linglong's.
At this distance, they could both hear each other's heartbeats.
Duan Linglong pushed him away. "Forget it, it's not any good clothes. I'm going to have some tea."
