"I agree!"
Shen Aohai hastily spoke up, realizing that in the current situation he had no choice but to agree, otherwise the entire Shen Family could be on the verge of destruction at the hands of this mysterious powerhouse.
"Very good, it seems you are quite intelligent." After the man in the black robe finished speaking, the terrible pressure emanating from him disappeared, and Shen Changfeng and his brother gasped for air.
Shen Aohai then reached out to open a drawer of the desk, pressed sothing inside, and the bookshelf behind him slowly split to both sides.
A door with a combination lock was revealed, and Shen Aohai walked over and pressed a few numbers. The door slowly opened, exposing a passage.
A minute later, Shen Aohai ca out of the passage, holding an old wooden box in his hand.
"What you desire is inside this box."
Shen Aohai handed the box to the figure, who imdiately opened it to find a damaged piece of parchnt that resembled a map inside.
"I’ve studied this damaged parchnt for a long ti and have never understood what it is. I want to know what its purpose actually is," Shen Aohai asked, locking eyes with the man in the black robe.
"You don’t need to know that, knowing too much is not good for you," the man in the black robe said, and with a turn of his body, he vanished from the balcony.
As the man in the black robe left, Shen Changfeng and Shen Changqing walked up to their father and asked, "Father, what exactly is that damaged parchnt? We’ve never heard of it before."
Shen Aohai’s eyes flickered as he spoke, "This damaged parchnt is a legacy passed down by our Shen Family ancestors. As to what it is, I do not know either. I only know it should be part of a map, which is now divided into several pieces. Our Shen Family has one of them, and I didn’t expect that this man in the black robe would know about it."
"Father, with that man in the black robe’s strength, his identity must be extraordinary. Now that he has made such an effort to seize this parchnt, it seems the secrets it hides must be significant," said Shen Changqing, his expression solemn.
"No matter, it’s not sothing we can intervene in. I need to advance to the Saint Realm as soon as possible. Only with strength at the Saint Realm can I enable the Shen Family to thrive further."
"Lately, I will be in seclusion. You also need to press Yun Fei on his developnt, utilizing all of the Shen Family resources to ensure his strength increases. The battle for the youth ranking is the best opportunity for our Shen Family to relive its forr glory, and we absolutely cannot miss it."
After giving these instructions, Shen Aohai left, leaving behind Shen Changfeng and Shen Changqing deep in thought, wondering about the implications.
In Capital City, after leaving the Leng Family, Ye Luo returned to the Capital City Hotel. Upon entering his room, he saw Ling Huatao, who had already been discharged from the hospital.
Ling Huatao appeared sowhat embarrassed as he looked at Ye Luo.
Although Ye Luo harbored so dissatisfaction with Ling Huatao’s previous actions, considering his current relationship with Ling Qingya, he did not say much.
"Ye Luo, President Qin was here earlier," Ling Qingya erged from the bathroom and said to Ye Luo.
"Miss Qin ca?" Hearing Ling Qingya’s words, Ye Luo’s expression shifted slightly, his heart tensing up.
"Why do you look troubled?" Ling Qingya’s eyes fixed on Ye Luo, a glint flashing in her gaze.
"No, why would there be anything wrong? Did Miss Qin need sothing?" Ye Luo asked, calm as still water.
"Oh, President Qin ca to thank you for your help in quelling the Qin Family’s internal strife and said she has booked a place to invite you for dinner tonight."
"Oh," Ye Luo nodded, glancing at Ling Qingya before asking, "Do you think I should go or not?"
"Why not go? Unless, do you have so secret with President Qin that I shouldn’t be aware of?" Ling Qingya asked, looking intrigued.
Ye Luo quickly shook his head: "Of course not, I was just worried you might misunderstand. Since you say so, then I’ll go."
"You can go, but I’m only giving you one hour’s ti, not a minute more," Ling Qingya declared, her eyes locked on Ye Luo.
"Alright." Just as Ye Luo responded, his phone suddenly rang.
Seeing "Sister Yan" displayed on the phone, Ye Luo looked surprised. He had been in Capital City for quite so ti, and this was the first call from Yan Ling.
"I need to take this call," Ye Luo inford Ling Qingya and then stepped out of the room.
"Hello, Sister Yan, what’s up?"
"Little guy, you’ve been in Capital City for so long and not once did you call . Have you already forgotten about ?"
Yan Ling’s coquettish voice ca through the phone, causing a thrill to pass through Ye Luo, as if an electric current flowed through his entire body, his mind replaying the passionate monts they shared.
"Sister Yan, please don’t tease . You must have a reason for calling , it’s not just to tell this, right?" Ye Luo asked.
"You really have no sense of romance," Yan Ling said a bit plaintively before continuing in a more serious tone: "Your aunt had so problems; when can you co back?"
"What? What happened to my aunt?" Ye Luo’s expression changed as he pressed for details.
"We were about to start production of several skincare products that were going to be launched, but these past few days, all of the companies that had contracts to supply us with dicinal materials have breached their agreents. They are refusing to provide us with any materials, even if it ans paying high penalties."
Yan Ling explained: "We’ve approached multiple dicinal material companies, but sohow they all refuse to supply us. Without the materials, we can’t produce those products. Your aunt is nearly frantic with worry over this issue, so I’m calling to see when you can co back and if you might have a solution."
"That’s serious; I’ll co back as soon as possible."
After a brief conversation, Ye Luo hung up, and Ling Qingya appeared.
"Whose call was that, why do you need to go back so soon?"
"It was a sister of my aunt’s, my aunt’s company is having issues, and I need to return to Zhonghai as soon as possible," Ye Luo told Ling Qingya.
"Do you need my help?" asked Ling Qingya.
"No need, I might leave tomorrow."
"Then you should go. Once I’ve signed the contract and discussed so details with the Qin Clan, I also need to return to Zhonghai."
"Alright, call imdiately if anything cos up after I leave," Ye Luo said to Ling Qingya with concern.
Ling Qingya looked at Ye Luo for a mont before suddenly embracing him and planting a kiss on his lips.
A smile appeared on Ye Luo’s lips as he too embraced Ling Qingya, kissing her passionately.
