This matter came without having time to be thought through and was interrupted by another matter.

"Luo Qianqian, Tang Tianyi, something urgent, I’m at the entrance of the neighborhood." Shi Bahao called directly, his tone full of urgency.

Because it was Luo Qianqian’s phone, it caught their attention.

After hesitating for a moment, Luo Qianqian nodded to Tang Tianyi, then turned to Old Master Luo: "Grandpa, I have something to deal with, something at school, I have to leave first." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Old Master Luo nodded: "Very well, the house is drafty, don’t rush back, come back after the door is fixed."

"Uh... okay." Luo Qianqian nodded.

The only thing she could think of when she and Tang Tianyi were mentioned was the matter Diwu Yan mentioned, the very reason he opened the back door for her.

She waved to Qin Nuan: "You go back to sleep, don’t forget my bathtub, those four."

"Got it." Qin Nuan and Luo Yanran nodded silently, watching the two turn and leave.

Luo Yanran didn’t know what was going on, but that didn’t mean Qin Nuan was also clueless.

Frowning slightly, she sighed.

Sitting in the car, looking at Shi Bahao who was driving, Luo Qianqian raised an eyebrow: "You can drive?"

"Yeah, of course." Shi Bahao said proudly and tossed two bags to them casually: "Change into these later, by the way, Qianqian, it seems like the Jimo Family is making some moves."

"Probably." Luo Qianqian took the bag and looked at the outfit inside, instantly speechless.

Wear this now? Wouldn’t people think I’m insane?

"Where to now? The airport?" He didn’t want so many people to think he was crazy.

Unexpectedly, Shi Bahao rolled his eyes at her in the rearview mirror: "Of course not, directly to the banquet site. By the way, do you two know how to dance?"

"Nope." Luo Qianqian shook her head decisively.

"Seen it." Tang Tianyi shrugged.

"Hey, hey, hey, is this my style?" She picked up the item from the bag, utterly clueless.

A black evening dress, and it’s backless, yet she’s still a kid.

"Picked by No. 2. The size should be fine." He didn’t know much about styles.

Sighing slightly at the white suit in Tang Tianyi’s bag, is this playing with black and white ethics?

Should I find a tall hat to wear?

"By the way." Shi Bahao suddenly spoke: "If your friend isn’t in a hurry, tell her to stop after things are settled. That’s what No. 2 said."

"Oh." Luo Qianqian nodded calmly.

The scenery outside the car window flew by, but somehow, Luo Qianqian felt a hint of poignancy.

...

Meeting Tang Tianyi’s eyes, the two exchanged a smile, linked arms, and pushed open the large door in front of them.

The banquet hall was large, but not many people were inside, probably only a little over twenty, not reaching thirty.

"Qianqian, Tianyi." Diwu Yan saw the two coming together, smiled, and waved.

The two walked slowly to him.

"This is Mr. Sawadera Ichiro, the leader from the Island country."

"These are our young generation from Huaxia, Qianqian and Tianyi."

Luo Qianqian and Tang Tianyi gave a formal bow in unison, ignoring the hand extended by Sawadera Ichiro.

"Yoshi yoshi." Sawadera Ichiro squinted his eyes at the two poised and unyielding young people, waving at the young people on the side: "Juro, Sanjuro, Shichijuro."

The three young people who came over were obviously not young, they didn’t look like young people at all.

"These are the talents from our country, if Miss Qianqian likes them..."

Luo Qianqian smiled: "My standards for making friends are high, my standards for choosing a partner are higher."

Looking at the few who glared with anger, she remained indifferent, instead looking towards a gaze that had been watching her, walking over to stand in front of a blonde girl, with sky-blue eyes, snow-white skin, and wavy golden hair, small face, tall and slender, she was an undeniably captivating beauty: "Hello."

"Hello." The beauty curled her mouth into a smile at Luo Qianqian: "I like you a lot."

"What a coincidence, I like you too." Luo Qianqian tilted her head and laughed, reaching out directly: "I’m Luo Qianqian, shall we get acquainted?"

"You can call me ’Yuxiang Rousi’." The beauty said so.

Y- Yuxiang Rousi?

"I’ll call you Sisi then." Luo Qianqian’s mouth twitched slightly: "Do you love eating Yuxiang Rousi?"

Sisi nodded repeatedly, her face full of undisguised excitement: "I love it the most."

That’s probably because you haven’t tried enough dishes.

"Exchange contact details?" Sisi’s eyes gleamed with excitement: "We should meet again, right?"

"Of course." Luo Qianqian smiled and asked a nearby waiter for a piece of paper and a pen, writing down her contact information.

The waiters were all in gray vests, white shirts, and black trousers.

That made them very easy to recognize.

Sisi carefully put it away: "That guy is super annoying." She pointed at Sawadera Ichiro, snorted: "He even told my brother about some alliance, my brother would never agree."

"I don’t like him either." Luo Qianqian shrugged: "He looks just like a bad guy."

The two hadn’t chatted long before being called away by their respective companions.

Tang Tianyi, seeing Luo Qianqian’s excited face, helplessly spread his hands: "Is that necessary?"

"Such a pretty girl, and you didn’t even react?" Luo Qianqian looked dismayed: "Sisi obviously looks better than that bad-guy-looking Sawadera Ichiro, doesn’t she?"

"Everyone here, they’re all adversaries." Tang Tianyi summarized coldly: "So you shouldn’t pay attention to anyone other than me."

Suddenly remembering her identity, Luo Qianqian stuck out her tongue.

"Don’t underestimate the Island country folks." Diwu Yan appeared behind the two, glancing at Shichijuro: "This time, only that one is a participant. The rest are just accompanying, or should be said, attendants."

Luo Qianqian froze, looking over; indeed, Shichijuro was the youngest, and positioned in the middle of the three, the other two were half a step behind, showing a follower posture.

"That one earlier is from the Sunset Empire." He pointed at the blonde Sisi, with a still indifferent expression.

After introducing each one approximately, he then said: "Do not casually trust others, despite seeming young, they are not kids like you."

Thinking of that magical Stay-Young Elixir, Luo Qianqian shivered. Don’t tell her Sisi is an ancient monster?

That can’t be, right? Appearances can deceive, demeanor and attitude as well, but surely not the eyes?

"Also, watch out for that guy." He pointed at a figure in the corner: "He’s an assassin."

Luo Qianqian was stunned, an assassin? What is an assassin doing here?

"He is also the leader for the Sunset Empire, ’Jingjiang Rousi’."

Yuxiang Rousi, Jingjiang Rousi... are you guys lacking meat?
