Chapter 103 Farewell

Fortunately, Wang Fei didn't say anything, and Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Li Ziqing wouldn't give up. She pouted, looked at Chen Xiao with hopeful eyes, and called out in a sweet voice, "Hubby~~"

"Uh..."

"Use that move, Ghost Knocks on the Back of the Head!"

Chen Xiao was helpless and slapped the back of Wang Fei's head.

"Why did you hit m—"

Wang Fei stopped halfway through his sentence and suddenly became dazed, his eyes blank.

"I'm asking you, why did the Ba Tian Gang want to capture Li Ziqing?"

Although Chen Xiao was worried that the truth might scare Li Ziqing, some things had to be faced sooner or later.

However, Wang Fei's answer was that he didn't know, so it seemed that Li Ziqing could face the truth a little later.

"It seems he really doesn't know..."

Chen Xiao said, spreading his hands.

"Okay then."

Li Ziqing bit her lip, a trace of worry hanging in her eyes.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xiao felt a twinge of heartache. He gently took Li Ziqing's hand and said softly, "Wife, no matter why they want to capture you, I will never let them succeed."

Li Ziqing raised her head and smiled sweetly at Chen Xiao: "Mm!"

"What about him now? Should we…"

Chen Xiao gestured at his neck, asking Li Ziqing if they should kill Wang Fei.

"Forget it, let him go back and send a message to the Five Great Families. We'll settle the score tomorrow!"

Li Ziqing had been looking forward to this day for a long time, but when it finally came, she wasn't as excited as she had imagined.

This might be because the process of revenge was too easy, or perhaps because she was a little distracted.

She had always been suspicious about why the Ba Tian Gang wanted to capture her and had a particularly bad premonition.

Unexplained irritability and anxiety.

Chen Xiao saw that Li Ziqing was distracted and knew what she was worried about.

After dealing with the aftermath, he immediately took Li Ziqing away and returned to the old mansion.

In the old mansion, Li Ziqing nestled in Chen Xiao's arms, and the anxiety in her heart lessened a little.

"Chen Xiao, I want to go home. It's too deserted here."

The Li family's ancestral home was a large mansion. Although Li Ziqing had grown up here as a child, she could no longer regard it as her home.

Her home was in Jiang City.

"Should I bring your uncle and older brother over?"

Chen Xiao asked tentatively.

Li Ziqing thought for a moment and finally shook her head, "Forget it, let them come over when we leave… After we take revenge tomorrow, let's go back, okay?"

"Okay!"

Chen Xiao nodded heavily.

Li Ziqing's trip to the Imperial City was very different from what she had imagined.

She had thought she would take root here and restore the Li family to its former glory.

But after arriving in the Imperial City, she found that she didn't like it here. The only reason she had always longed for this place and wanted to return was because of her obsession with revenge.

So after taking revenge on the Five Great Families tomorrow, she would go home.

Back to Jiang City, that was her home.

"Chen Xiao, will you leave me?"

Li Ziqing suddenly asked such a question.

Although she knew this question was silly, even foolish.

But at this moment, she really wanted to hear Chen Xiao say the answer.

"Of course not."

Chen Xiao said without hesitation, "Even if the seas run dry and the rocks crumble, even if heaven and earth combine, I will not leave you. We will never be separated."

Hearing Chen Xiao's answer, Li Ziqing smiled.

"Chen Xiao."

"Mm?"

"You're so good!"

"I know!"

"..."

Perhaps because she had been tossing and turning too much last night, even though she had slept all day, Li Ziqing's strength had not fully recovered.

Unknowingly, she fell asleep in Chen Xiao's arms.

Chen Xiao gently put her on the bed and covered her with the quilt.

To prevent her from waking up halfway, Chen Xiao infused some spiritual energy into her body to calm her nerves and help her sleep more soundly.

After doing all this, Chen Xiao pushed open the door and walked out of the old mansion, his slender figure disappearing into the night.

...

On the other side, Su Su returned to her club, Qing Yi Fang, after leaving the banquet.

Qing Yi Fang was a high-end club that had recently risen to prominence in the Imperial City. It was membership-based, and being a member of Qing Yi Fang had become a symbol of status.

Su Su was the owner of Qing Yi Fang. The title "Fang Zhu" (literally, "Head of the Fang") added a bit of sensuality to her image and made her famous in the martial world.

But this was never the life that Su Su liked.

And today, she had finally made up her mind to break away from her current life and get away from everything here.

She was going to leave Qing Yi Fang, she was even going to leave the Imperial City. She was going to change her image, change her name, change her location, and start over.

Everything she had done in the past was to complete the tasks assigned by her master.

And this time, she could finally live for herself.

Arriving at Qing Yi Fang and returning to her office, Su Su took one last look, without any reluctance.

She made a call and summoned her assistant.

The assistant's name was Xiao Xiao, a pure-looking, delicate, and lovely young girl.

Of course, if anyone thought she was as pure as she looked, that person must be a fool.

After all, she was a girl working at Qing Yi Fang and was Su Su's assistant.

"Xiao Xiao, I know you've always been coveting my position."

Su Su's words frightened Xiao Xiao, who had just entered the door, and her face turned pale.

"Fang Zhu Su, I…"

She was about to deny it, but Su Su waved her hand and said with a kind smile, "It doesn't matter, I don't care. If you weren't so ambitious, I wouldn't be able to use you so smoothly."

People with ambition usually have the ability to match it.

Although Su Su was only a female enchantress, she also knew how to employ people, which she learned from Li Ziqing.

Xiao Xiao was even more confused and didn't understand what Fang Zhu Su meant by telling her this.

"Today, I'm handing Qing Yi Fang over to you. From now on, you will be the owner here."

Su Su said casually, then smiled sweetly, two elegant dimples appearing on her cheeks, "Congratulations, Fang Zhu Xiao!"

"Fang Zhu Xiao…"

Xiao Xiao muttered, looking extremely shocked, "Fang Zhu Su, what do you mean by this?"

"I'm leaving here."

Su Su said with a shallow smile, "Leaving Qing Yi Fang, leaving the Imperial City, leaving my current life. I'm going to start over!"

As she said this, an unusual light sparkled in Su Su's eyes.

It was a light that Xiao Xiao had never seen before, full of hope, and very moving.

"Okay, that's it. With your understanding of Qing Yi Fang, we don't need to hand over anything, right?"

Su Su asked as if to confirm.

She was acting as if she would 'help someone to the very end'.

However, Xiao Xiao's expression was cold, the cautiousness on her face gradually faded, and she said expressionlessly, "Su Su, you can't leave!"
