The Young Matriarch
Chapter 757 - Chapter 757 Chapter 757 He is the Grey Presence Within

Chapter 757: Chapter 757: He is the Grey Presence Within Chapter 757: Chapter 757: He is the Grey Presence Within This female cultivator is more reliable than Jiao Peng’s master; not getting to know her would be a pity if she might be useful in the future.

It’s just unfortunate his phone got water damage and broke again.

Due to the consecutive falls into the sea, he had to replace his phone twice in less than a month!

Liu Jinjin’s cheeks were slightly red as she nodded her head, “Okay, I’ll add you later.”

Xu Xingchen ran towards the outside, hailing a taxi on the go, then turned to shout back at Liu Jinjin, “Jinjin, remember to definitely add me!”

Xu Xingchen took the car back to the apartment he shared with Tong Qingyan near the university town’s second school district.

Tong Qingyan’s symptoms weren’t appropriate for a hospital stay.

After opening the door and entering the house, Xu Xingchen went to Tong Qingyan’s room, touched the major artery on her neck, and found it still pulsating.

He quickly took out a small box and opened it; inside was a brown-black pill about the size of a Malteser.

Xu Xingchen suddenly hesitated, he didn’t know the man who had given him the pill, nor did he know its composition or if it contained harmful substances.

No matter, he’d have to use it as a live-saving remedy.

Xu Xingchen propped up Tong Qingyan, broke the pill apart, and forced it into her mouth, praying silently for her recovery; otherwise, he truly would have to select the best funeral home in Imperial Capital for her.

The gathering of immortals ended smoothly, yet Wuming was nowhere to be seen in the QQ group, which led all the group members to feel…

Surely Wuming must have a common appearance, overshadowed amidst so many distinguished individuals at the gathering.

Heavenly Dao is indeed fair!

Having given Wuming such formidable skills but not a handsome face.

A failed attempt at meeting in person.

Su Qiuqiu felt uneasy throughout the “seafood feast”; she was like a lamb thrown into a wolf pack, with everyone eyeing her as if they wanted to eat her alive.

Su Qiuqiu returned with Bai Chuwei and others, staying in Imperial University’s visitors’ single dormitory. Upon reaching her room and opening the door, she saw that tall figure sitting on the sofa.

Su Qiuqiu’s hair stood on end, and with a shriek, she pounced, furious and powerless, “Wuming, I’m going to fight you! I’m your older sister, how can you treat me like this?”

The man sidestepped, easily dodging Su Qiuqiu’s claws.

“I didn’t do much.”

Su Qiuqiu looked extremely aggrieved, “You tricked me into going out to deliver medicine, you…”

Wuming propped his head up, leisurely watching her, “Didn’t they treat you to a big meal?”

Su Qiuqiu was momentarily speechless, glaring with her naturally upward-slanting fox-like eyes, and grumpily said, “Stinky little brother, what exactly did you go off to do?”

Wuming replied, “I went to deliver medicine.”

Deliver medicine?

Su Qiuqiu’s eyes widened, almost leaping to roar at him, “You rubbish, little brother, was that medicine for Tong Qingyan? My goddess hates Tong Qingyan the most, you’re so mean.”

“Wuu wuu wuu, what should I do? If she finds out, will she think I’m your accomplice? You bad person.”

Su Qiuqiu grasped Wuming’s collar, shaking him like crazy.

The entire finance department knew about Tong Qingyan taking sick leave.

Wuming’s brows furrowed, suddenly losing patience, and with a single finger, he pressed Su Qiuqiu down on the sofa, making her behave.

He stood up, straightened his white casual pants, walked to the dorm room window, pulled back the curtain, looked out into the night sky, and chuckled, “Su Qiuqiu, is your world so black and white?”

He was neither black nor white.

He was the grey in between.
