Chapter 454: Chapter 445: Overspending Life, People in Imperial City Have Jiang Lingxi

Xu Qingmei and Luan Feng exited the villa’s basement, full of respect.

If Jing Huai were present, he would be shocked to discover that Xu Qingmei, whom he had stabbed yesterday and left with a nearly ten-centimeter-deep wound on her chest, now had a rosy complexion, and the wound on her chest had completely disappeared, with her skin smooth as ever.

Upon returning to the surface, she provocatively said to Luan Feng, "See, the master values me more. I was injured, and the master came back from afar to heal me. But you, you got injured right beside the master and were sent back to the Imperial City to recuperate."

Seeing Luan Feng lower his eyes, silent as if utterly defeated, Xu Qingmei’s face showed even more pride, "So what if you’re stronger than me? If you dare hurt me again, the master won’t spare you. Move aside, I need to go to my room to rest."

Luan Feng remained silent and stepped aside, clearing the path to the bedroom.

Watching Xu Qingmei prance out of his sight, he cynically laughed to himself, "Fool!"

Such severe backlash couldn’t have been resolved so quickly.

Even Mei Shuiqing, whose abilities are not weaker than his, needed to confine herself to heal after backlash and still hasn’t emerged.

As for Xu Qingmei, an ordinary person who hasn’t even touched the surface of a magician’s abilities, recovering so swiftly, even he knew something was off.

Based on his understanding of the master, this time, the master likely directly overdrew Xu Qingmei’s life force to counteract the backlash, hence the remarkable and obvious effect.

Yet she was still bragging in front of him, calling her a fool was an overstatement.

In the basement.

Just after Xu Qingmei and Luan Feng left, Luan Hua, who stayed by Chong Yin’s side, knelt on one knee.

"Master, it was my lack of proper guidance that led Luan Feng to make mistakes, please punish me!"

Despite her usual affection for her brother, when she learned what he had done upon returning, she nearly couldn’t resist beating him.

If it weren’t for the conflict between Luan Feng and Xu Qingmei, how could the ordinary person named Jing Huai have injured Xu Qingmei under Luan Feng’s watch?

He even suggested Xu Qingmei control Jing Huai when she had not yet recovered from her severe injuries, directly alarming the master.

She never expected her arrogant brother to get along with Xu Qingmei, but couldn’t they at least coexist peacefully? This time he almost killed Xu Qingmei!

"Someone is behind this."

A confident voice came from above, making Luan Hua look up in surprise.

"Do you mean that someone has been deliberately exacerbating the conflict between Luan Feng and Xu Qingmei, resulting in such a violent outburst this time?"

Chong Yin tapped the table beside him, slightly tilted his head, and looked in the direction of Liangchuan.

"Even separated by such a distance, so much has happened. Ha!"

The ambiguous chuckle sent shivers down Luan Hua’s spine, a sudden realization dawning in her mind, "Jiang Lingxi, was it her?"

Chong Yin neither nodded nor shook his head, feeling no need to explain to Luan Hua, just instructed lightly, "Depart for Liangchuan the day after tomorrow."

Luan Hua was taken aback, she thought they were leaving tomorrow.

"Then tomorrow?"

"Rest."

Luan Hua immediately understood, "The master returned to heal Xu Qingmei, truly exhausting. I hope the master will have a good rest."

Chong Yin waved his hand, "Go out."

In the villa’s living room.

Luan Feng heard his sister’s distinct footsteps approaching and hurriedly fumbled to turn off the tablet in his hands.

But before he could press the lock screen button, a hand suddenly reached out and took the tablet.

Luan Hua looked at the person on the screen, "Watching Jiang Lingxi’s show?"

"Didn’t you always say, know your enemy and know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles without defeat? My most serious injury since my initiation was thanks to her, and now that I can’t see her in person, I can only fall back on watching her shows to maybe find some of her weaknesses."

Luan Hua listened, nodded, and before Luan Feng could show a recognized smile, she slapped him on the back of his head, "Do you know that Jiang Lingxi was the instigator of your and Xu Qingmei’s escalating conflict?"

"How is that possible," Luan Feng instinctively didn’t believe it, "wasn’t she filming with the master in Liangchuan, how could she reach the Imperial City?"

"She has people in the Imperial City, and they’re quite capable." This was the conclusion Luan Hua had just come to, "In Jiang Lingxi’s eyes, you and Xu Qingmei are just two clowns."

Luan Feng was suddenly full of discontent.

Seeing him this way, Luan Hua wanted to slap him again, barely holding back, "Even the master values Jiang Lingxi more and more, yet you overestimate yourself. You didn’t even realize something was off while being led by the nose, how could I have such a stupid brother!"

She looked again in the direction of Xu Qingmei’s bedroom, lowering her voice, "You’ve seen how the master handled Xu Qingmei this time, he seems amiable to her on the surface, but in private, he’s quite displeased. I guess if there’s one more incident, Xu Qingmei will be completely abandoned."

"But you’re different, the master still wants to punish you, which means he still has some expectations for you. Make an effort, brother, otherwise, even I as your sister won’t be able to help you."

"Think about Xu Qingmei’s future fate!"

Luan Feng finally shivered in realization, "Sis, how can I regain the master’s favor?"

"You’re in the Imperial City now, so try to find the person working for Jiang Lingxi, the one who incited conflict between you and Xu Qingmei. But with your brain, you probably can’t deal with that person and might alert them, so just give what you find to the master. You might regain some weight in the master’s eyes."

Luan Feng knew that in this world, only his sister would never harm him, and he nodded emphatically, "Alright, I’ll follow my sister’s advice."

Luan Hua indeed had good intentions, carefully planning for her brother.

The only thing she didn’t consider was that some people cannot be probed.

Shen Yunqing didn’t usually have the habit of eating a midnight snack.

After being surprised, Xia Zhi hurriedly cooked a small pot of vegetarian dumplings.

He accidentally cooked too much.

So, he poured a bowl for himself even though he wasn’t hungry yet.

The two of them sat at the dining table and started eating slowly.

Shen Yunqing swallowed the last dumpling and looked at Xia Zhi, who was about to put down his chopsticks, and suddenly asked, "Xia Zhi, do you think I’ve lost weight?"

Xia Zhi: "..."

This time the chopsticks in his hand fell onto the table.

After a few seconds of silence, he quietly got up and left, returning shortly with a body fat scale in his hands.

"Why don’t you weigh yourself with this?"

Just as Shen Yunqing had Xia Zhi bring a notebook and pen to record his daily weight changes and was about to step on the scale.

The phone on the dining table suddenly lit up.

Xia Zhi hurriedly picked it up and handed it over.

Shen Yunqing took it, and saw a message appear on the previously locked screen: [Zhang Anfeng’s affair and his illegitimate child were discovered by his wife Lin Yi.]

Shen Yunqing: "..."

Looks like I’ll need to keep an extra bottle of Quick Heart-saving Pill on hand.
