72: Chapter 72 Wei Heng's Shock!

"What's going on!?"

Hearing Lu Li's roar, Wei Heng, who was waiting nearby, quickly appeared before her.

In this room, besides the little ancestor Lu Li who needed his concern...

...there was another ancestor who absolutely could not be neglected.

If anything happened, Wei Heng felt he might as well just end his own life.

He rushed over in a single stride, only to see a huffing Lu Li.

At this moment, Lu Li was rubbing her own face.

Wei Heng could still see the red marks on the girl's face.

Was she teased by the Senior?

Although the girl was getting on in years, her charm was still unparalleled.

"What are you doing, looking at me with such a disgusting expression?" Lu Li noticed Wei Heng's look, and a wave of revulsion rose in her heart.

This old fogey must be thinking about something weird.

"It's nothing, nothing." Wei Heng hurriedly waved his hand and Dao: "Where is the Senior?"

Wei Heng poked his head into the room again, but the figure in the red armor was gone.

"Gone," Lu Li said crossly.

"How did the communication go?" Wei Heng immediately asked.

"Not great," Lu Li clicked her tongue. Just wait.

She would soon let Fang Xun know exactly what "perks of the job" meant.

And she would let Fang Xun know what it meant for a "good person" to be held at gunpoint!

Handling an old chuunibyou otaku was simply too easy.

It just required paying a small price.

She, Lu Li, could afford it!

"Huh!?" Wei Heng had no idea what had happened.

Hearing Lu Li say this, Wei Heng was so startled he almost croaked like a toad.

"My ancestor! The Senior didn't Life Qi, did he? How dare you throw a tantrum with him? What did you do?"

"I stepped on him," Lu Li snorted.

Hearing this, Wei Heng was petrified on the spot.

What was the point of living anymore? He might as well just die.

Lu Li glanced at the old fogey, too lazy to explain in detail.

There wasn't much to say anyway.

Pushing the old fogey aside, Lu Li lifted her leg and walked away.

Being pushed by Lu Li, Wei Heng finally snapped out of it.

Wei Heng looked at Lu Li's back and muttered, "East City... is finished...?"

It wasn't until Lu Li had moved some distance away that he noticed the change in her attire.

Wei Heng: "?"

"Where are your shoes?" Wei Heng swallowed hard. He suddenly noticed Lu Li's choice of words.

Stepped?

"They flew off."

Lu Li didn't even turn her head.

"Hey!" Wei Heng suddenly perked up. He ran a few steps and caught up with Lu Li.

"Oh, Little Lu. What exactly happened? Don't Life Qi yet."

"It's nothing."

"Did the Senior... seem satisfied with you?" Wei Heng got straight to the point.

"Heh."

"Tell me. Besides, Little Lu, you're not exactly young anymore."

"Heh."

"You know, a person like the Senior... if he... it's not like you couldn't consider it, right?"

"What?" Lu Li suddenly stopped. "If the Senior wanted me to serve him in bed, would you want to tie me up and send me over?"

"That won't do," Wei Heng said righteously. "The happiness of the many cannot be built upon the suffering of an individual."

Lu Li rolled her eyes immediately upon hearing that.

He said that now, but when the time came, he would surely use 'the greater good' to pressure her.

"Then stop guessing. I'm going to work." Lu Li waved her hand, shooing Wei Heng away like a fly.

Wei Heng didn't get annoyed.

Watching Lu Li's actions, he began to realize something.

With Lu Li acting like this, if there wasn't something going on between her and the Senior, even a dog wouldn't believe it.

Now, a conjecture formed in the mind of this old fox, Wei Heng.

Initially, Lu Li didn't have this kind of attitude.

When she first entered, Lu Li was just as cautious as he was.

However, in such a short amount of time, Lu Li's attitude had undergone such a drastic change.

Why was that?

No matter how fast the emotional exchange, such a rapid shift was impossible.

There was only one possibility.

Lu Li knew that Senior.

Or rather, they had met before, and she only just discovered his identity.

"It feels like this is quite easy to guess now."

Thoughts flashed through Wei Heng's mind, but he cut himself off.

"Stop thinking about it. If the Senior doesn't want to reveal his identity, then don't think about it. But I can rest easy now.

This Senior is definitely 'one of our own'."

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Humming a cheerful tune, Wei Heng walked toward his office. He had never felt so relaxed.

He looked at the meeting notifications appearing on his phone.

He swiped through the messages one by one.

They wanted him to go to the Imperial Capital for a meeting? They might as well all come to East City.

After swiping through a few, he saw the temporary permissions he had granted Lu Li.

Wei Heng thought about it and decided to keep Lu Li's permissions.

This girl... there's definitely something there!

...

While Wei Heng happily pushed everything onto Xiao Xu, letting Xiao Xu handle those troublesome communications...

...Fang Xun had already returned to his room. Of course, it was a different one.

He unbuckled the belt, and the armor vanished from his body, returning to the cabinet.

"Not bad, this is much more convenient now."

Now that the girls had gone to eat, Fang Xun didn't have to sneak home.

He walked out openly and returned to his own home.

With this free time, he might as well start a game!

"Onii-chan, You Have to Hold Me Tight Before Waking Up in the Morning!"

Fang Xun scrolled through his computer and clicked randomly on an icon among a sea of gala game icons.

"Oh, it's this one."

Fang Xun opened it and realized that the folder he had scrolled into was the kind that absolutely could not be seen by his sister.

It was filled with 'wonderful' games, like things such as 'Euphoria'.

Come to think of it, Jiang Qin actually knew about this game.

Doesn't that mean she's seen it all!?

Oh no, no wonder she always thinks he's disgusting!

Fang Xun felt a pang of grief in his heart; now, only a heartwarming gala game could heal him!

Fang Xun opened the game without hesitation.

Game time.

It really flew by.

After battling in the game for dozens of minutes, Fang Xun suddenly felt very sleepy.

He didn't even want to turn off the computer; he just lay down on the bed, pulled a thin blanket over himself, and covered up.

And so, he fell into a light sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Fang Xun woke up again; it was already night.

It was dark outside, and the computer screen had automatically turned off.

Fang Xun felt a bit dizzy, and it took a while for him to clear his head.

He wanted to go use the bathroom, but as he pushed the door open, a slip of paper fell from the doorway.

This girl still really liked using such primitive methods to communicate with him.

Fang Xun picked up the note and looked at it.

It said:

"Bro, the food we brought back is on the table, already packed up. Remember to heat it up in the microwave yourself.

Also, no ordering takeout.

Tomorrow morning, I'll come back to cook for you.

———— Jiang Qin

—— And me too, Onii-chan~

—— Shen Yue is here too, Brother.

—— I'm here too, Brother."

Fang Xun didn't even need to look closely to know who those superfluous additions were.

Jiang Qin, Tang Xiaotang, Shen Yue, Qi Lian.

Really easy to guess.
