Luoguan City.

Fine threads of rain slanted down, wetting the bluestone road and casting hazy shadows of wine flags and lanterns along the street.

On the bustling street, a man in a white robe kept his eyes wandering between the shops. Beside him, a woman in a yellow skirt followed him obediently, her eyes occasionally falling on the man, and her eyes moving around, hiding a bit of imperceptible obedience and attention.

"Akira, is there anything you want to eat?"

Lin Chuan asked, his eyes shifting from the food stall on the street back to the people around him.

"I will listen to you, sir."

Qiu shook his head gently, with a hint of obedience in his eyes.

"I heard that the local specialty, Bai Feng chicken, tastes great. Why don't we go try it together?" Lin Chuan thought for a moment and suggested softly.

"Okay." Qiu smiled and nodded slightly.

"Then let's go."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chuan started walking towards the restaurant not far away.

However, Qiu beside him did not move, but turned around suddenly, looking straight behind him across the flowing crowd.

"what happened?"

Lin Chuan stopped and followed her gaze. He scanned the crowd behind him but found nothing unusual.

"..."

Qiu did not respond immediately, but his eyes quickly searched the people around him, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was confirming something.

After a moment, she slowly withdrew her gaze, a smile reappeared on her face, and she said softly: "It's nothing, maybe I was too nervous to be with the young master, and I had an illusion for a moment."

"..."

Lin Chuan silently spread out his spiritual sense, carefully scanning every corner nearby, but still did not notice anything unusual.

He withdrew his consciousness, glanced at Qiu beside him, whose expression had returned to normal, and said softly, "Then let's go."

"it is good."

……

The restaurant was bustling with people.

The air is filled with the aroma of various dishes, and the sizzling sound of cooking in hot oil mixed with the diners' laughter and conversation, giving the place a lively atmosphere.

"I suddenly feel like eating some pastries. Qiu, wait for me here for a moment. I'll buy some on the way here."

While waiting for the food to be served, Lin Chuan glanced out the window and suddenly spoke, his tone somewhat casual, as if he had spoken on impulse.

"I'm with the young master."

Qiu was about to stand up when he saw Lin Chuan gently shaking his head.

"Be good, I'll be back soon."

Lin Chuan gently rubbed Qiu's head, then turned around and walked out of the restaurant quickly. His figure soon blended into the rain and crowd outside the door.

"..."

The rain outside the door grew denser and denser, turning the crowd into a swaying, blurry shadow. Qiu's eyes searched in the rain until he could no longer see the familiar figure, and then he slowly lowered his eyes.

And at this moment, the vague murderous intent that he had felt on the road earlier came again from behind, bringing with it a biting chill.

Qiu shuddered and turned around suddenly, his eyes fixed on an inconspicuous square table in the corner.

There, a man in a moon-white gown, with delicate features that were almost soft, was sitting quietly, looking at her with a serious gaze.

"Xu...Sister."

Qiu pursed her lips, walked slowly to the man, and bowed slightly.

"..."

Xu Hanyi was slightly startled, his eyebrows slightly raised, and his tone was emotionless: "How did you recognize my identity?"

"I usually don't let people I've offended live. Now, the only person in the entire Qingluan Continent who has murderous intentions towards me is probably Sister Xu. Besides..."

Qiu's gaze lingered on Xu Hanyi's neck, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes: "Even if Sister Xu deliberately conceals it, there are very few men like this."

Xu Hanyi: “…”

"Sister Xu, would you like to come over and have something to eat with us? The young master has gone out to buy some cakes and will be back soon." Qiu invited softly, his tone full of sincerity.

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Xu Hanyi narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, and the murderous intent in her eyes became even stronger.

"..."

Qiu didn't say anything, just shook his head slightly.

Xu Hanyi stared at her for a long time before he spoke slowly, his voice somewhat cold and hard:

"Don't even mention that I have nothing to do with him now. Even if we do, you can't call me sister."

As soon as he finished speaking, a biting chill suddenly blew over, and Xu Hanyi's figure disappeared, as if he had never appeared.
