Chapter 668: Chapter 658: Visiting or on Vacation

Having eaten and drank their fill, Jiang Lingxi pushed Shen Yunqing back to their room to rest.

In the spacious bedroom, two luxurious beds of different styles were placed side by side.

Shen Yunqing’s head was still dizzy, and with his face injured, he couldn’t take a bath, but Jiang Lingxi definitely needed one.

Watching the person leisurely lie down on the bed, she decisively turned and went into the bathroom attached to the bedroom.

She took off the clothes that had become somewhat tattered after the night’s ordeal, and while her hands could still barely move, she quickly took a shower, wrapped herself in a bathrobe, and came out to see Shen Yunqing still lying on the bed, not yet asleep.

"Why haven’t you slept yet?"

"Let me see your hands."

Jiang Lingxi had no choice but to stretch out her hands in front of him, trying to find humor in the situation: "Tomorrow, you might have to feed me."

Looking at the pair of hands with obvious blue, white, purple, and red lines in front of him, Shen Yunqing replied without hesitation, "Okay."

After waking up, everything had already happened, and it was too late to blame himself for being careless. What he could do was ensure the comfortable recovery of the person who always stood in front of him to solve problems.

"Get some sleep early."

He suggested to the person on the nearby bed to sleep early. After going to bed herself, Jiang Lingxi fell asleep before Shen Yunqing, slipping into a dream before long without even turning off the bedside lamp.

Having dealt with Wu Hua, a major threat, the follow-up with the Changcang Sect would naturally be handled by Wu Jue and his people. Although her hands would suffer for a while, she wasn’t worried since they would eventually recover. She felt relaxed all over, leading to better sleep quality.

In contrast, Shen Yunqing had trouble falling asleep. After the breathing next door settled, he quietly got up to turn off the light, then leaned quietly against the bed for a moment before closing his eyes to endure wave after wave of headache, trying to find sleep.

The next day was bright and sunny, and the sky was blue.

As soon as Jiang Lingxi woke up, she noticed something was off.

Her hands felt non-existent.

Upon lifting her arms to look, they hadn’t changed much since last night. At a glance, they still looked a bit scary, but after a while, she got used to it.

Seeing the person on the adjacent bed still asleep, she was preparing to get up quietly when she accidentally hit the bedside table.

Her hand didn’t feel much, but the sound was quite loud.

Sure enough, when she looked up, the person was awake.

"Did I wake you up? Does your head still hurt?"

"Much better."

Seeing no signs of him forcing himself to endure pain, Jiang Lingxi was relieved and folded her hands. "Well, you might have to start work a little early."

As for what needed to be done, it was naturally to assist her with washing up.

Luckily, it wasn’t the first time doing such a task. Practice makes perfect; from waking up to getting ready and leaving the room took less than half an hour.

No one was in the living room outside. Changning was practicing boxing in the courtyard. Seeing the two people appear in the living room, she quickly stopped and waved, "Sister Xi, mister, good morning!"

Jiang Lingxi smiled, seeing her full of energy, "Where’s Wu Jue?"

Changning pointed to a room behind her, "He went to question Yin Chong. Sister Xi and mister, are you having breakfast? We’ve been waiting for you."

Jiang Lingxi glanced at the room where Yin Chong was, then decisively chose the latter when weighing the person’s potential misery against breakfast, "Eat."

The two people who had been waiting in the courtyard quickly went to prepare breakfast.

"Miss Jiang, where would you like the breakfast to be served?"

Jiang Lingxi glanced at the table in the courtyard, "Set it in the courtyard."

They could enjoy breakfast while basking in the sun, making the best of both worlds.

Just beyond the wall, in a dimly lit room lacking much natural light,

Yin Chong had been lying on the ground all night. Luckily, the residents didn’t intend to let him starve to death, and he was given some food.

After a night of self-recovery, he could barely sit up against the wall.

Upon hearing the sounds outside, he suddenly chuckled lightly a couple of times.

His voice was strong, indicating that he hadn’t been significantly harmed.

He was genuinely curious about how Jiang Lingxi had managed to kill Wu Hua.

Standing before him, Wu Jue, though not understanding why the man suddenly laughed, didn’t ask. He left a pen and a stack of blank paper, "Your status in the Changcang Sect is second only to Wu Hua. Don’t think you can move up now that Wu Hua is gone, unless you want to follow in her footsteps. I don’t mind taking you to see Wu Hua’s body. She kept the biggest secret about the Eternal Life Secret Technique from you sect members."

Eliminating the Changcang Sect wasn’t easy. Wu Hua’s ability to manipulate people was something Wu Jue had long witnessed, not to mention the allure of eternal life itself to some people.

However, with this man’s cooperation, the process would be much smoother.

This was also why he came to see Yin Chong first thing in the morning.

"Think about it."

Wu Jue said, turning to leave.

A somewhat hoarse voice called from behind.

"I’ll write at the door. Give me a desk and chair."

Yin Chong knew what Wu Jue wanted him to write.

The Changcang Sect wasn’t just the inner sect members; there were also many associates active in various fields.

For instance, Aibosi Hemier, the eldest son of the Aibosi family personally controlled by Wu Hua, or Xu Qingmei, an actress he had already abandoned.

Investigating these people one by one would indeed be a lot of work.

Wu Jue looked back at him, "Okay."

He personally moved a set of desk and chair to the door and stepped out of the room.

Jiang Lingxi had just sat down at the table when she saw Wu Jue come out, "How is it?"

"Cooperative enough."

To his surprise, even Wu Jue didn’t expect that Yin Chong didn’t make any conditions.

Changning came back with a straw, placed it in the cup in front of Jiang Lingxi, and speculated, "Probably because he was thoroughly disappointed after being used by his master yesterday."

Jiang Lingxi sipped some water through the straw, glanced at Yin Chong, who had slowly walked to the door and sat down, withdrew her gaze, and saw a spoonful of minced meat and egg custard in front of her, which she ate.

While taking a seat, Wu Jue glanced at Jiang Lingxi’s hands resting on the chair’s armrest, "No sensation?"

Jiang Lingxi swallowed the egg custard, smiled, and nodded, "I thought my hands had ceased to exist when I woke up."

"The weather’s nice today; you should just stay in the courtyard to bask."

Jiang Lingxi: "..."

Just as Yin Chong began writing a few words on the paper, he heard the conversation in the courtyard and turned his ears, unable to resist taking a peek.

But all he met was Shen Yunqing’s cold gaze.

While the person he had been observing was enjoying being fed by someone nearby.

Nonexistent hands? What’s wrong with the hands?

At Chongxiao Building.

Tong Yue and her companions packed their things early in the morning. Having just finished breakfast, they awaited the car sent by Aibosi Manor to pick them up.

The family emblem on the car dispelled their last trace of doubt.

With excitement beyond words, they climbed into the car with their luggage.

After spending the night apart from their artist, they finally saw Jiang Lingxi again. She was lying in a rocking chair set in the courtyard, basking in the sun with eyes half-closed, while Mr. Shen sat next to her, occasionally feeding her a piece of fruit. This scene gave the impression of leisure to the utmost degree.

Nearly left them dumbfounded.

Weren’t they supposed to be visiting? Why does it seem more like she’s on vacation at someone else’s manor?

Arrogant, so arrogant!
