Two days had passed, but Chen Li decided to stay in Tianyi Realm, as he would get a new quest if he returned to Seven Moon Realm. After all, he had decided to finish their training ahead of schedule, for he wanted to solve Mayumi Keiko and Shiori Aya’s problems first.
Chen Li asked his families to pack up their camping equipment, especially since the Nalan Clan already had suspicions about their presence in the Southern Forest.

“Where is Big Brother, Big Sis Xing’er?” Xing Bao’er asked disappointedly that Chen Li didn’t come to pick her up.
Sun Xing’er carried Xing Bao’er and explained it to her. “Brother still hasn’t finished his training, so he asked me to pick you up, and you can meet him after we arrive at home.”
Xing Bao’er nodded and turned to Yu Shi and Yang Nianxue. “Grandma! Aunty! I’m going home now.”
“Good girl.” Yi Shu rubbed Xing Bao’er’s head. “We will wait for you, so you have to come here again, okay?”
“Yes, Grandma.” Xing Bao’er responded by nodding repeatedly.
Yang Nianxue then asked her daughters. “Do you two really want to go there again?”
Di Chen was the first to answer her. “Mother, those jerks continue to monitor me, which makes me uncomfortable, so I’m going there.”
“Chen’er! You can’t curse like that.” Di Xiong immediately reminded his eldest granddaughter.
“Haha.” Di Chen laughed and stuck out her tongue.
Di Jing then said to her. “Hui Ling and I want to enjoy the food there, so we want to go there again, Mother.”
Yang Nianxue could only shake her head at her second daughter’s answer. “You two can go there again, but you guys have to come back in a week. My father will be coming here next week, so you two have to be here.”
“Yes.”
When the four of them entered Tianyi Realm, Feng Xian’er and the others were already waiting for them, and they immediately returned to Qingshui Mansion.
However, Mayumi Keiko and Shiori Aya stayed behind to wait for Chen Li, and Xuanyuan Feng’er went to Xiao Jianyi to ask for her guidance.

Sometimes later, Chen Li had finished his training, and he immediately met the two women. “Are you guys waiting for me?”
“Yes.” Mayumi Keiko then asked him. “Are you going to my house directly? The meeting is tonight, and those people will definitely be there.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll go to your house after I check some things in Beijing, and I’ll accompany you guys to deal with them.” Chen Li then hugged and kissed Mayumi Keiko. “All right, you and your mother can go back now, and we will meet again tonight.”
After they left Tianyi Realm, Chen Li summoned Xiao Hei, and she appeared before him instantly. “When will Sister Kong’er and Sister Huoli come back?”
“I don’t know, Master.” Xiao Hei answered with a shake of her head. “Some of those herbs are very rare, so they might take a little longer.”
“I see.” Chen Li nodded in understanding. “I will return to my mansion now.”
“Yes, Master.”
.

After he arrived at his mansion, Chen Li could only shake his head because everyone had already left, especially since they still couldn’t abandon their habits as ordinary humans.
Chen Wei’er, Xiao Xianglin, Xuanyuan Wan’er, and Yun Mingyue had already gone to check on the progress of his two companies.
Dongfang Wenxin and Yun Zhi went to check out Qingshui Restaurant.
Liu Ling’er, Yun Qing, and Su Mengyao went straight to Wen Xuanxuan’s office.
Meanwhile, Liu Ying directly returned to her house, for she was worried about Liu Zhen.
The Di Sisters went along with Feng Xian’er and the other three to stroll around the city.
The other older women, such as Bei Lian’er and the others, decided to rest in their rooms, as did the Long Sisters and Anna, because they are night demons and not used to activities in the morning.
“Li’er, Zhiyi returned to the country three days ago, and he is looking for you.” Chen Li turned to her mother with raised eyebrows, and Lin Qingzhu showed him the message from her niece. “Do you want to see her? What if I ask her to come here now?”
Chen Li sighed softly and answered her directly. “En, you can ask Zhiyi to come here, Mom. However, I’m going out to check on something first, so you can ask her to wait for me.”
“Wait a minute.” Lin Qingzhu grabbed his hand. “What are you going to do about Zhiyi?”
“I don’t know, Mom.” Chen Li answered by shaking his head. “I still haven’t made up my mind about Chen Hu, so I haven’t thought about Zhiyi.”
Lin Qingzhu sighed heavily after hearing that. “At least, you can talk to Zhiyi first, and it would be better if you told her the truth. That way, she doesn’t have to keep waiting for you if you don’t want to reciprocate her feelings.”
“I know.”
After that, Chen Li kissed her mother’s forehead before disappearing from her sight, and Lin Qingzhu immediately replied to Chen Zhiyi’s message, asking her to come to the mansion.
.

*Bzzt… Bzzt…*
“Ugh! Who sends messages so early?” Chen Zhiyi complained as she took her smartphone, but she abruptly sat on the bed after she saw that the sender was Lin Qingzhu and immediately read the message.
Tan Qiu, who was sleeping next to her, immediately opened her eyes and asked her. “Who messaged you?”
“Aunt Qingzhu, she and the others just came back, and she asked me to come over.” Chen Zhiyi answered as she smiled cheerfully, because she was finally able to meet Chen Li after waiting for him for three days. She then got out of bed and said this to her best friend. “Qiu! Let’s take a shower! I want you to accompany me there.”
Tian Qiu sighed softly, and her expression was a little unusual, but she immediately followed Chen Zhiyi to the bathroom and took a shower together.

In the garden of a luxurious house, four people are gathered together.
Liang Rukai had actually arrived in Beijing three days ago, but he didn’t meet the three people directly, and they finished their other business first.
“Why are you so impatient, Jingtian?” Liang Rukai asked with a frown.
Luo Jingtian let out a heavy sigh. “I really need your help to get Liu Ling’er from Liu Zhen.”
“Oh?” Liang Rukai was surprised to hear that. “Are you sure that she is with Liu Zhen now?”
“Yes.” Luo Jingtian pointed at the other two people. “Liu Zhen told them that she had been staying with him since a few days ago, so we came here to pick her up, but he wasn’t willing to hand her over to us. Besides, we’ve been watching his house for the past few days, but we didn’t see her come out of that house, so we couldn’t do anything.”
“I see.” Liang Rukai nodded in understanding and turned to Liu Ling’er’s parents. “Where is your eldest daughter? You promised to hand her over to me in exchange for saving you two, but you still haven’t handed over Liu Yue to me.”
“I’m sorry, I persuaded Yue’er to go home, but she insisted on staying in Hainan with her friend.” Liu Bao answered with a bitter smile. “I even tried to take her home by force, but her friend’s family reported me to the police, so I was forced to withdraw.”
“Hmm?” Liang Rukai frowned and asked him again. “Who is her friend’s family?” .𝘤𝑜𝑚
“They are the Ming family from Hainan, and they have enormous influence in the city.” Lan Ting answered his question.
“Ming family from Hainan, huh?” Liang Rukai muttered to himself, but he then snorted. “Even though they have great influence in the city, their family is still a small family compared to my Liang family, and I can destroy them easily.”
The two people exchanged glances, and Lan Ting immediately asked Liang Rukai. “How about we go to Hainan? If you help us, we’ll definitely be able to get Yue’er back from them, and you can bring her back with you later.”
“All right, we will go to Hainan in a few days.” Liang Rukai then turned to Luo Jingtian. “Did you also ask Nan Wei for help?”
“I did ask Nan Wei for help before, but he wasn’t willing to help me.” Luo Jingtian released a sigh before continuing. “That’s why I can only rely on you now, and it would be best if we moved as quickly as possible, or else Liu Ling’er will run away again.”
“Why isn’t Nan Wei willing to help you?” Liang Rukai suspiciously asked. “His Kylin gang is very influential in this city, so he should be able to deal with Liu Zhen easily.”
Luo Jingtian shook his head and decided not to tell Liang Rukai the truth. “He told me that the situation in the underworld is chaotic, especially since the other four big gangs have joined Xiao Xianglin now, so he wants to focus on controlling the situation first.”
“Oh?” Liang Rukai was really surprised to hear that. “Since when did Xiao Xianglin unite the four gangs? Why have I never heard about the news?”
“You must know that the situation in this city has been chaotic for the past few days, right?” Luo Jingtian asked him back.
“I see.” Liang Rukai nodded in understanding. “I still didn’t expect that Long Jiuxiao and the others would fall, but who was the mastermind behind their downfall?”
