"Tsk tsk, the food in this restaurant is really good, Lin Demon, your taste this time is really impressive. The food here is indeed very authentic. When we go back, pack some for me; I want to have it as a midnight snack."

Lu Tianxing commented while eating without any reservation.

"Should I just buy this restaurant for you then?" Bai Zhiqing responded with mock irritation after hearing Lu Tianxing’s words.

"Honey, are you serious?"

Lu Tianxing’s eyes widened, looking at Bai Zhiqing with anticipation, like a child waiting for a teacher’s praise.

Bai Zhiqing gave Lu Tianxing a sidelong glance, rolled her eyes, and ignored his reaction, continuing to eat elegantly.

Lu Tianxing watched Bai Zhiqing with a faint smile on his face, showing no signs of the tension and pressure of an impending war, nor any anxiety, giving off an aura of control and confidence.

"Right, Lin Demon, how is the situation in Xiangjiang now?"

Lu Tianxing suddenly turned to Lin Yafei and said, "Has the Huang Family found out where the opposing forces are hiding?"

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Lin Yafei gently shook her head: "The other side is hiding very deeply. Even though the Huang Family and Zhao Long have teamed up, finding a few people in a short time is still very difficult, especially since these people came prepared. Finding their whereabouts is almost impossible."

Lu Tianxing’s expression remained unchanged after hearing this, as if he had anticipated this outcome, and he calmly said, "There’s no rush on this matter. Even if we don’t find them, they will show up in three days anyway. The pressing task, Lin Demon, is for you to deal with the Qingtian Alliance quickly, and strive to make the Qingtian Alliance disappear by the fifth of next month."

As he spoke the last part, a cold glint flashed in Lu Tianxing’s eyes. Although the Qingtian Alliance was just a fly to him, posing no threat, he didn’t want a fly buzzing around when he and Tang Qingyun were about to make a move. Better to swat the fly first.

"Okay, no problem, leave it to me. I assure you the Qingtian Alliance will not appear again by the fifth of next month."

Lin Yafei nodded lightly, but a hint of sharp killing intent flashed in her beautiful eyes, indicating it was indeed time to take action against the Qingtian Alliance.

"Okay."

Lu Tianxing nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "Be careful."

"I know."

Lin Yafei nodded and said, "As long as Tang Qingyun doesn’t intervene, dealing with Chen Changwu is easy for me."

Lin Yafei’s tone carried a touch of arrogance and disdain. Previously, she could make Chen Changwu kneel and crawl away from the Sky Dragon Club. Now, she believed she could make Chen Changwu vanish into thin air, leaving him with no place to be buried.

After hearing Lin Yafei’s words, Lu Tianxing softly said, "Rest assured, Tang Qingyun won’t get involved. To him, the Qingtian Alliance is just a plaything, irrelevant if destroyed."

Slightly hesitating, Lu Tianxing looked at Lin Yafei and said, "Just to be safe, I’ll arrange for someone to protect you in secret."

"Okay."

...

Meanwhile, in a classical courtyard in Beijing.

Ji Xingyun sat leisurely on a large stone by the edge of a pond in the backyard, holding a fishing rod, fishing in the pond. Next to him was a small table with a teapot and a teacup, steam rising from the cup, filling the air with a rich tea fragrance that refreshed the senses.

Ji Xingyun had a relaxed and pleasant demeanor, seemingly unbothered by the impending storm in Beijing, as if he were just an ordinary old man enjoying life in seclusion.

He sat on the stone without expression, focused intently on the pond as if waiting for a fish to bite.

Suddenly, Ji Xingyun seemed to sense something, his brow furrowing slightly before quickly relaxing. A smile appeared on his aged face, and with a light flick of his arm, the fishing rod seemed to come alive. The fishing line cut through the air, re-entered the water, then flew back out, now with a large grass carp on the hook.

With a flick of the rod, the grass carp flew into the nearby fish basket.

The entire process was fluid and seamless, revealing Ji Xingyun’s frequent fishing practice in the past.

After casting the fish into the basket, Ji Xingyun cast the line back into the water, gently placed the rod beside him, and said slowly, "What a pleasure to have friends visit from afar. I was wondering how to entertain such a distant guest, and now a fish has arrived at my doorstep. I wonder if my friend likes fish. If so, let me provide a demonstration."

Ji Xingyun’s voice echoed, but the surroundings remained silent, as if he had been speaking to the air.

"What’s the matter, friend, aren’t you coming out?"

Ji Xingyun’s voice sounded again: "Since you’ve come to find me, are you afraid to meet me?"

After speaking, Ji Xingyun slowly stood up, turned, and looked at the backyard entrance: "Friend, since you’ve come to see me, why not show yourself? Considering your presence, you shouldn’t be the hiding kind. Come out; rest assured, I will never harm a friend. You have my word."

Ji Xingyun’s voice echoed in the backyard, but the surroundings remained quiet, with no figure appearing.

Ji Xingyun stood motionless, refraining from saying more, and kept his gaze on the backyard entrance, waiting quietly.
