The office suddenly beca quiet.
"...."
Leng Shuang froze.
For the first ti since Qian Lian entered the room, her expression genuinely beca speechless.
"You..."
She slowly looked at her friend.
"...delayed an entire flight?"
Qian Lian blinked. "What else was I supposed to do?"
"I had already arrived at the airport."
"It would’ve been wasteful to buy another ticket."
Leng Shuang: "..."
Qian Lian leaned back against the sofa lazily again.
"Anyway, after overcoming countless hardships and dangers..."
Her tired eyes slowly sharpened.
"...I’m finally here."
The lazy salted-fish aura around her gradually disappeared.
In its place appeared a dangerous coldness.
"So don’t you dare tell everything you said was fake."
Her gaze locked onto Leng Shuang.
"Otherwise..."
A faint smile appeared on her pale face.
"I’ll expose all your assassination records to the friends and relatives of your targets."
Leng Shuang rolled her eyes imdiately. "Didn’t I already send you the training videos? Aren’t those enough proof?"
"It’s because I believed them that I ca." Qian Lian leaned forward instantly.
At this mont, all exhaustion disappeared from her face. Only excitent remained.
Actually, after receiving Leng Shuang’s videos that night, she secretly conducted her own investigations too.
And the deeper she dug, the more mysteries were unearthed.
Strange disappearances. Rumors. Unexplainable incidents. Monstrous people who shouldn’t exist.
At first, she thought it was rely internet nonsense.
But eventually, even she had to admit sothing.
There truly existed extraordinary forces hidden beneath the surface of this world.
And for the first ti in years, Qian Lian genuinely felt interested in reality itself.
anwhile, Leng Shuang silently watched her increasingly excited expression and sighed inwardly.
Another fellow successfully dragged into this attractive strange world.
Qian Lian suddenly pushed aside her milkshake and stood up excitedly.
"So..." Her eyes sparkled brightly.
"When can I et this amazing master of yours?"
"I seriously can’t wait anymore."
"I want to beco his disciple imdiately."
Upon hearing Qian Lian’s excited declaration, Leng Shuang suddenly froze.
Then, a rare trace of embarrassnt appeared on her usually cold face.
"Actually... Lian..."
The mont she hesitated, Qian Lian’s eyes narrowed suspiciously.
"What?"
"Is there a problem?"
Leng Shuang subconsciously looked away.
For perhaps the first ti in a long while, she genuinely did not know how to explain sothing properly.
"I..." She coughed lightly. "I actually haven’t discussed this matter with Master yet."
Qian Lian blinked.
Leng Shuang continued awkwardly:
"So I don’t know whether he would be willing to accept you as a disciple..."
The office suddenly beca quiet.
Qian Lian slowly lowered her milkshake. She stared at Leng Shuang blankly.
"...What?"
Leng Shuang instantly felt danger.
Unfortunately, before she could continue explaining, Qian Lian suddenly grabbed her own hair dramatically.
"No! This can’t be!"
She imdiately stood up from the sofa.
"Are you telling ... After everything I suffered to get here..."
"All those sleepless nights..."
"All those dreams..."
Her voice beca increasingly emotional as she pointed toward the office window dramatically.
"I already imagined myself carrying a sword!"
"Flying across mountains! Passing through clouds!"
"Walking into ancient sects while mysterious music plays in the background!"
Leng Shuang: "..."
"And now you’re telling ..." Qian Lian looked at her with disbelief. "You forgot to introduce to your master?!"
Leng Shuang silently pressed her forehead.
anwhile, Qian Lian continued nonstop like a leaking faucet.
"It was fine before I knew the truth, I could still peacefully stay ho and order takeout every day!"
Leng Shuang: "..." Takeouts?
"But now?!"
"You revealed the magical side of the world to !"
"You gave hope!"
"And now you want to crush it just like that?"
Qian Lian pointed at her accusingly.
"Shuang... How can you be so cruel?"
"We are sisters who went through life and death together! Do I an nothing to you now?!"
"Now that you’ve found a powerful master, are you planning to abandon ?!"
Leng Shuang’s eyelids twitched repeatedly.
Finally—
"Enough."
She directly raised her hand and covered Qian Lian’s mouth.
"Mmph?!"
Qian Lian widened her eyes imdiately. Does she not even have the right to speak now?
Leng Shuang sighed deeply.
"Seriously... I only said I haven’t discussed it with Master yet."
"I never said he rejected you."
Qian Lian, who had been struggling against her hand monts earlier, suddenly stopped moving.
Her eyes imdiately beca serious.
The expression practically scread: ’I’m listening. Continue.’
Seeing this, Leng Shuang genuinely felt exhausted.
She removed her palm slowly before continuing:
"Don’t overthink things."
"My master values talent greatly."
"As long as you don’t touch his bottom line..." Leng Shuang paused briefly before adding confidently, "he’ll most likely accept you."
While speaking, she unconsciously rembered Du Wuchen.
Even soone like him had been accepted. (A.N: She completely ignored her own situation.)
Compared to that guy, Qian Lian honestly looked much safer.
Qian Lian imdiately grabbed Leng Shuang’s shoulders.
"Really?" Her eyes sparkled intensely.
"100% true." Leng Shuang nodded seriously.
"And based on what I know about your abilities..." She pushed her glasses slightly, "Master would definitely be interested."
The mont she finished speaking, Qian Lian’s serious expression instantly disappeared. Then she smiled brightly while sitting back down.
"...It seems after all these years..."
"We sisters are destined to stay together for a very long ti."
"Yeah, sure."
Leng Shuang rolled her eyes helplessly.
"I just hope your frail shut-in body can survive the training."
"Hah?"
Qian Lian imdiately beca dissatisfied.
"Don’t underestimate , Shuang!"
"As long as I believe in myself..."
She clenched her fist dramatically.
"I can even lift an elephant!"
Leng Shuang looked at her thin arms silently.
"On what basis?"
"The vitamins you consu every morning?"
"...."
Qian Lian’s face imdiately reddened.
"Don’t act so smug just because you got a head start!"
She pointed toward Leng Shuang angrily.
"Just wait!"
"I’ll learn cultivation and surpass you very soon!"
"By then..." Her lips curled upward slightly. "When I beat you, don’t go crying into your little lover’s arms."
Leng Shuang froze briefly.
Then frowned slightly.
"...What lover?"
"I don’t rember having one."
"Heh."
Qian Lian sneered aningfully.
"Chu Jing would definitely feel sad hearing those words."
"!!!" Leng Shuang’s expression instantly changed.
