Who opened the Lingmeng Mountain restriction?
This has led to a gathering of demons, all wanting to devour "Su Yu Luo," this golden carp.
But Qin Ye Xuan felt something was off.
If Yu Luo was truly the reincarnation of a golden carp, why had he never noticed it all these years?
His brow furrowed, and the restaurant grew quieter.
After a long while, Qin Ye Xuan snapped back to attention, "I'm sorry, Auntie, I was a bit distracted."
The Fourth Madam doted on him more and more. She stood up and took his hand, "Auntie, my whole family relied on your help to get through the difficulties. I'm so grateful. Xiao Qin, are you getting used to living in the dorms? Why don't I have Qing Ya buy a villa for you nearby?"
Her words were quite forward.
Directly gifting a villa?
Song Qing Ya was embarrassed and anxious, "Mom, why are you so crass? Gifting villas..."
Unexpectedly, Qin Ye Xuan actually nodded on the spot, "That sounds good. I'll still live in the dorms, but if something comes up, I might need a villa outside."
The Fourth Madam was impatient. In her excitement, she immediately dragged Qing Ya to look at properties nearby.
Just then, there was a loud bang from outside as the door was kicked open, and several people in police uniforms appeared.
They lined up on both sides, and outside, a handsome young man with a grim expression walked in.
He scanned the people inside and walked directly towards Qin Ye Xuan, "Who did Minister Su come to see just now?"
Minister Su, referring to Su Ning Shuang.
Qin Ye Xuan frowned. Who was this guy? Such a show of force.
The young man seemed short-tempered and suddenly became angry, "I'm asking who Ning Shuang came to see! The people outside said there's a student here who's her little boyfriend? Stand up and let me see!"
Who is this guy?
Qin Ye Xuan stepped forward, "Ning Shuang came to see me just now. But who are you?"
His tone was calm and composed.
The young man, however, was furious, "Who am I? I'm Lu Xiu Ming from the Investigation Department. Ning Shuang is the one I love most. Who do you think you are, competing with me?!"
Is this guy crazy? So narcissistic.
Qin Ye Xuan was utterly speechless.
This kid must have heard that Ning Shuang was meeting her "little boyfriend" at the hotel, and he just exploded.
"Don't rush yet..." Qin Ye Xuan said with a smile.
"I'm damn rushed!" Lu Xiu Ming stared at him, "Show me your ID and put your hands up, step back. I need to investigate you!"
Qin Ye Xuan didn't move.
Lu Xiu Ming grinned menacingly, "Don't say I didn't give you a chance. As the only man worthy of Ning Shuang, I need to investigate all the ill-intentioned guys around her..."
Qin Ye Xuan immediately interrupted him, "Then you're a bit of a pervert."
Damn! Such audacity.
Everyone around gasped.
This Lu Xiu Ming was the only son of the Director of the Great Xia Police Department, the eldest young master of the Lu family in Chaoge. He came from the military and, after earning his stripes at a young age, became the Deputy Director of the Investigation Department.
This led to his arrogant and disdainful personality.
The college student opposite him daring to provoke him face-to-face was a suicidal act.
As expected, Lu Xiu Ming became enraged and reached behind him for a weapon.
This was too much. The people who came with him quickly grabbed him, "Brother Lu, Brother Lu, don't be impulsive."
These people glared at Qin Ye Xuan, "Get lost! Do you really want to be shot dead?"
Qin Ye Xuan was furious. He took another step forward and shouted, "Anyone who dares to make a move, I'll make you trash disappear completely!"
He was rarely this angry, and his tone became stern.
Lu Xiu Ming roared, "Get out of the way! I'll beat him to death today!"
Get lost!
He kicked his subordinates aside.
But these people knew it was a public place, and if this was filmed, Su Ning Shuang would never let him off. So, they desperately disarmed Lu Xiu Ming.
Lu Xiu Ming was enraged. He grabbed a nearby oak chair and smashed it towards Qin Ye Xuan.
Bang!
The chair shattered. Qin Ye Xuan stood there, unmoving, while Lu Xiu Ming had "disappeared."
Everyone was horrified and dumbfounded. Only then did they notice Lu Xiu Ming lying by the trash can next to the table.
"Brother Lu? What, what happened to you?"
Lu Xiu Ming was also bewildered and jumped up in embarrassment, "My foot slipped just now."
He was about to continue arguing when Zhang Tian Guang, accompanied by his secretary, entered from outside. He frowned and reprimanded, "What's going on? Has Chaoge become a place where people can fight as they please?"
Lu Xiu Ming reluctantly stopped and nodded at Zhang Tian Guang, "For City Lord Zhang's sake, I'll let him off this time. Be careful next time you see me."
Pointing at Qin Ye Xuan, Lu Xiu Ming left in a huff.
The secretary was displeased, "No manners at all, just nodded and left?"
Zhang Tian Guang shook his head, "Just a spoiled brat. His family background is too strong. Don't pay attention to him."
He looked around. The restaurant was very quiet.
Then he looked at Qin Ye Xuan and thought dismissively, "I thought he was some genius. He's just some effeminate fellow."
Zhang Tian Guang, a tough guy like himself, couldn't stand or even felt disgusted by the popular androgynous looks or cross-dressing trends.
He immediately lost interest in Qin Ye Xuan and turned to say, "Prepare for the banquet to welcome Marshal Li. This time, keep it simple. Marshal Li dislikes extravagance."
The secretary followed him out, "But, City Lord, this banquet is jointly organized by several major families in Chaoge. They said it's a high-society event, and we can't control it."
"Nonsense!" Zhang Tian Guang became even angrier, his dissatisfied voice echoing from afar, "What high society? I think they're all useless gluttons."
Outside, Lu Xiu Ming saw Zhang Tian Guang come out and was about to cause trouble for Qin Ye Xuan again.
Fortunately, a directive came from Su Ning Shuang's side, ordering them to return to headquarters for a meeting immediately.
Lu Xiu Ming excitedly got into the car and couldn't help but brag on the way, "My dad got an invitation to the banquet welcoming Marshal Li Tian Xing of Jiuzhou. I'm going to invite Ning Shuang to the banquet!"
A smug smile played on his lips, "This banquet is said to be the top in Chaoge, and a rare gathering of the powerful and influential in Great Xia."
Yes, only such a banquet could match Su Ning Shuang's beauty and background.
The Lu family wasn't top-tier in Chaoge, as their rise was too rapid, lacking deep foundations.
However, among the second-tier influential families, the Lu family was definitely top-notch.
This time, the old man of the Lu family had spoken sternly: "Son, you must win Su Ning Shuang over and make her my Lu family's daughter-in-law. Her older sister is Dean Su of the Heavenly Surveillance Institute and has a close relationship with the Lord of the Imperial City. But the most powerful is the man behind the Su sisters."
With Lu Xiu Ming's intelligence, he could only understand half of his father's words.
But he was very familiar with the legends of the man behind the Su sisters.
"People outside only know four words: Peerless National Scholar. In fact, that man is from the grandfather's generation of the Su sisters!"
The people from the Investigation Department all wore expressions of "Young Master Lu really knows a lot."
Their status was too low to access information at that level.
Lu Xiu Ming became even more smug, "You wouldn't understand if I told you. That Great Xia National Preceptor must be over a hundred years old this year. The Su sisters were all raised by him."
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Lu, have you met that old immortal?"
Lu Xiu Ming's face flushed with embarrassment, but he continued to boast, "Of course, I have. Who hasn't my Lu family met? That old immortal, with white hair and a white beard, a ruddy complexion, and a voice like thunder."
