Miaojiang, sowhere within this primitive forest, a figure clad in black and wearing a purple mask stood, the very sa mysterious woman who had appeared earlier in the Blood Demon Sect’s cave.
Soon, six graceful silhouettes abruptly appeared before this mysterious woman. Each of these six was dressed in long skirts of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, their delicate features radiant with an aura that seed to lift them above the mundane world, much like the legendary seven fairies.
"Greetings, Saintess!"
The six won knelt on one knee, looking up at the woman with the purple mask with faces full of reverence.
"He is at a critical mont of his breakthrough. To prevent the Blood Demon Sect from intervening again, all six of you must guard that valley and forbid anyone from entering and disturbing him," said the black-clad woman with the purple mask, her voice crisp and commanding.
"As you command, Saintess," the six won nodded in unison.
"But Saintess, what if the Sect Master of the Blood Demon Sect appears? With our combined strength, we may not be able to withstand him," one of the won expressed her concern.
"He was gravely injured in that battle; it is impossible for him to erge so easily. Do not worry," the masked woman reassured them before her figure vanished in a flash.
And the six won disappeared from the spot just as suddenly.
The day passed quickly once again, and the raging waves of Zhonghai remained relentless.
Ling Corporation managed to resist the sneak attack from the Fang family, thanks to the Liu family’s intervention, but the Fang family had tied up all their company’s funds in the stock market.
A staggering thirty billion in funds was poured into the stock market to suppress Ling Corporation’s stock. Even with the Liu family’s support, they could not hold out for long, as they certainly couldn’t, like the Fang family, invest all their corporate funds to help Ling Corporation.
As for i Yue Company, though the relatives of the five deceased and their bodies had been taken away by the police, i Yue Company’s image and reputation plumted.
The avalanche of condemnation online did not cease, and the once established reputation was now thoroughly shattered. Despite Luo Jingxuan’s attempts to clarify the situation multiple tis, it was futile as i Yue faced the danger of closing down.
Inside the Ling family living room.
Ling Zhenguo and Ling Qingya sat there, the latter looking sowhat haggard, her head bowed in silence.
"Grandfather, I’m sorry."
After a while, Ling Qingya looked up at Ling Zhenguo with a hint of remorse in her eyes and spoke.
"Why apologize?" inquired Ling Zhenguo indifferently, gazing at his granddaughter.
"Grandfather, you built Ling Corporation from scratch, and you entrusted it to , but instead of improving it, it has co to this state. I have let you down," Ling Qingya said with her head lowered.
"You haven’t let down. I know you’ve done your best. This isn’t your fault, and maybe it’s just a calamity destined for Ling Corporation. However, what I want to tell you is, if Ling Corporation is gone, then it’s gone,"
"But if a suitable husband is gone, it will be very difficult to find another. I still hope you think it over carefully. Are you truly done with Ye Luo? Don’t end up regretting it later, for it will be too late by then," continued Ling Zhenguo, looking at Ling Qingya with a serene expression.
"But Grandpa, it’s because of Ye Luo that Ling Corporation has ended up like this," said Ling Qingya, her eyes briefly flickering.
"We can’t bla him for that, and besides, I believe if he were here, he would definitely have a way to resolve all of this. I can tell that you both have feelings for each other. But Ye Luo is a man, and not just any man—he’s a charming one."
"A man like him is bound to have more than one woman by his side, no matter how outstanding the woman is, unless you plan to marry an ordinary mortal in the future. Otherwise, you can’t guarantee he’ll stay faithful to you alone."
Ling Qingya hung her head, her face changing colors as she seed lost in thought.
"Think about it. As for the matters of Ling Corporation, don’t worry about them. Let things take their natural course; your grandfather can afford the loss," Ling Zhenguo said, standing up and leaving, leaving Ling Qingya alone in contemplation.
anwhile, in Miaojiang, inside a room in Miao Village, the sisters Nie Wenling and Nie Wenyu sat together.
"Sister, if Ye Luo really can co back this ti, I will definitely marry him," Nie Wenling suddenly said.
"Are you serious?" Nie Wenyu looked at her sister with a sowhat astonished expression.
"Of course. If it weren’t for him this ti, our sisters, as well as our father, would probably be finished. He’s also saved us several tis. And this guy doesn’t seem too bad as a boyfriend choice," Nie Wenling said, a smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
"But he already has a fiancée," Nie Wenyu couldn’t help but interject.
Nie Wenling pursed her lips and said, "A fiancée is not a wife. They’re not married yet, so what’s there to be afraid of? Besides, if it cos to it, the two of us sisters can marry him together. I refuse to believe we can’t match up to Ling Qingya."
Hearing Nie Wenling’s bold words, Nie Wenyu’s fair face instantly turned red, and she shyly said, "Wenling, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Nonsense? I am not speaking nonsense," Nie Wenling said with a narrowed gaze, watching as Nie Wenyu’s face beca flush with embarrassnt.
"Ever since the last ti Ye Luo saved you, sister, I noticed you don’t look at that guy the sa way. You often zone out alone—are you thinking about Ye Luo?" Nie Wenling said with a sly smile.
"Oh my, stop talking nonsense. That’s not true," Nie Wenyu replied, her personality being on the reserved side. She felt quite shy and sowhat at a loss as Nie Wenling spoke.
"Giggle... Sister, there’s no need to deny it. I rember when we were little, we said we would grow up and marry the sa man so we would never have to be apart."
With her complexion crimson, Nie Wenyu said, "That was just silly talk when we were kids. How could you take it seriously?"
"But I think it’s a really good idea. Why don’t we both marry that guy, Ye Luo? He always appears when we’re in danger. I think he’s the guardian deity for the two of us sisters," Nie Wenling said with narrowed eyes, murmuring to herself.
Nie Wenyu’s expression turned complex, her mind replaying images of Ye Luo, which proved hard to forget.
As the two sisters were discussing Ye Luo, in the valley outside the cave of the Blood Demon Sect where Ye Luo was located, a gust of wind began to blow, and under the moonlight, two figures in black appeared, their faces emotionless and their bodies emanating a cold and sinister aura.
"You’ve finally co."
A cold voice suddenly rang out in the valley, causing the expressions of the two figures in black to change as they scanned the area.
