"Hmph! A woman nad Zhou Hanyu in East Sea City, who's also getting advanced training from Witch Zhang—I'm sure it's her."
The one speaking wasn't anyone else but Li Zheng, who hadn't appeared for a long ti.
After Master Zhou's birthday celebration, he couldn't stay in East Sea any longer and had returned to the Imperial Capital first.
"She actually ca to the Imperial Capital? Haha, this is getting interesting! Go, spread the word—I want to host a banquet tonight."
Li Zheng swallowed his tea in one gulp and said coldly.
Hearing Li Zheng's words, Master Li, who was initially apprehensive, beca excited too.
He knew his brother Li Zheng's temper well; he definitely wasn't the type to accept losses easily.
From childhood to adulthood, whenever Li Zheng suffered a loss, didn't he always co back to settle it?
He still rembered the last ti a woman embarrassed his brother in a bar—the next day, she was taken care of by soone.
Thinking of this, Master Li started feeling excited.
He delightedly thought to himself that Zhou Hanyu wouldn't escape from his grasp.
Especially thinking about that angelic face, he couldn't help rubbing his hands and chuckling indecently.
"Aren't you going to your ntor today?"
Yang Yan suddenly asked Zhou Hanyu.
Zhou Hanyu nodded lightly:
"Mm! I don't need to go today. Not just today, I won't need to go for a while. My ntor is going back ho for the New Year."
Yang Yan smiled and looked at Zhou Hanyun:
"Alright, it's almost Christmas. Let's see if there's anything you want; I'll buy it for you."
"Yes, it's almost Christmas."
Zhou Hanyun said excitedly.
"Forget it, let's go shopping and buy so things for the girls."
Yang Yan stood up and said proactively.
He always despised shopping, so it was indeed rare for him to suggest it himself.
"Great, we're going shopping again."
Cai'Er was dancing with excitent.
Her two little companions quickly exchanged glances, looking extrely excited.
On the street, they kept looking into shops on both sides, checking this and that.
Anything that slightly caught their eye or seed interesting, they'd go in and take a closer look.
Seeing the excited shopping group, even Yang Yan, who dreaded shopping, felt genuinely happy.
After all, life needs a touch of simplicity.
As they were preparing to go ho carrying large and small bags, Zhiyuan and Lv Jian suddenly appeared in front of Yang Yan.
"Is it convenient? Can you co over for a mont?"
Zhiyuan asked.
"If you have sothing to do, go ahead; we can go ho ourselves."
Although Zhou Hanyun didn't know these two people, she didn't ask much and proactively took the bags from Yang Yan.
Perhaps because Yang Yan had just helped teach a gang of thugs a lesson, Zhou Hanyu also seed unusually obedient, taking on so of the load.
"Help send them back and ensure their safety."
Yang Yan looked at Lv Jian and said solemnly.
"Alright."
Lv Jian nodded decisively.
With a wave of his hand, a few stern-looking n ran up imdiately.
"Send these ladies back and make sure they are protected until Mr. Yang Yan returns."
Lv Jian spoke sternly.
After taking the bags from Zhou Hanyun and Zhou Hanyu, the n escorted them into a car with a Jing G license plate and drove off.
"So, have those Dragon Tiger Mountain rebels confessed?"
Yang Yan turned and asked Zhiyuan.
"Yes! They've confessed. We wanted to ask for your help to catch their accomplices."
Zhiyuan looked at Yang Yan with anticipation.
"Alright, when do we act?"
Yang Yan agreed imdiately.
Hearing Yang Yan's words, Lv Jian's eyes widened in shock.
He looked at Zhiyuan as if he were seeing a monster.
Reluctantly, he took a short sword from his treasure gourd and handed it to Zhiyuan, asking suspiciously:
"How did you know he would agree?"
"Haha! It's a secret."
Zhiyuan gave Yang Yan a aningful glance and then turned to Lv Jian, replying mysteriously.
"What, you two bet on ?"
Yang Yan looked at the short sword in Zhiyuan's hand, squinting his eyes as he asked.
He had to admit the quality of the short sword was excellent.
The Lv Family excelled at sword nurturing, and judging by the sword's appearance, Lv Jian must have put a lot of effort into it.
But now, he had lost to Zhiyuan and had to accept it.
Zhiyuan explained with a smile:
"I said you'd definitely help us, this guy said you wouldn't co, so we made a bet. As you can see, I won. Thank you!"
"Haha, you used to win a bet, so what do you plan to give ?"
Yang Yan looked at Zhiyuan, smiling playfully as he asked.
"Consider it compensation for last ti."
Zhiyuan blushed a little and then put on a serious face.
Hearing this, Yang Yan smacked his lips but had nothing to say.
"Last ti? When did you ever offend this crazy girl?"
Beside him, Lv Jian asked with confusion.
Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow and scolded:
"None of your business! Hurry up, or if those guys run away, I'll make you pay dearly."
"Damn! I haven't offended you; why are you grumbling at ?"
Lv Jian said, feeling frustrated.
"What did you say?"
Zhiyuan looked at Lv Jian coldly, asking word by word.
"I said I didn't offend you, why grumble at ?"
Seeing Zhiyuan's expression, Lv Jian shivered, imdiately caving in and squeezing out a smile worse than crying.
"No, before I said I haven't offended you, what did you an?"
Zhiyuan shook her head, saying softly.
"Before? Damn..."
As soon as these words ca out, Lv Jian knew he was in trouble.
He quickly ran to the side, trying to dodge Zhiyuan's attack.
"Haha! Lv Jian, run all you want; I'll just tell Mr. Lv everything you just said. Let's see where you run then!"
Seeing Lv Jian run to the side, Zhiyuan didn't chase but said with a sly smile.
Hearing Zhiyuan's words, Lv Jian sighed heavily, slouching as he walked back.
He looked at Zhiyuan pitifully, smiling flatteringly:
"Go easy, we're about to make a move; don't beat so hard that I can't even join the battle later!"
Zhiyuan shook her head, speaking softly:
"How could I bear to hit you? Be good, let's talk after we catch them."
Hearing Zhiyuan's words, Lv Jian's head hung lower.
He knew this wasn't over yet.
After catching the targets, there would be a reckoning.
He only hoped that the little mistress would just give him a beating and be done, and not target his sword again.
Having witnessed the entire scene, Yang Yan couldn't help but laugh but didn't speak.
He knew full well that in this situation, the best approach was silence is golden.
