"Okay, okay, I understand."

Xu Tian didn't want to argue with him about something that was made up out of nothing, but Chu Lan, who was listening from the side, took it somewhat seriously.

"What exactly is that thing you're talking about?"

Xu Tian chuckled, "Lan'er, you're supposed to be a representative of the modern woman, do you really believe in these things?"

Chu Lan replied seriously, "The Ouyang brothers are very knowledgeable. Just because they haven't seen something before doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

"Isn't there a saying that science ends in metaphysics?"

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Ying smiled knowingly, "President Chu's expertise is truly superior, but my brother and I have only seen those things once."

"When?" Chu Lan pressed.

Ouyang Ying continued, "In my dream..."

puff!

Xu Tian couldn't help but spit out what was in his mouth and quickly wiped the soiled tabletop.

"Alright, alright, let's eat."

Chu Lan glared at him and then said nothing more.

However, Ouyang Ying's words were already etched into her mind.

After eating and drinking his fill, Xu Tian called over the waiter to pay the bill.

Ouyang Ying stood up at this moment.

Xu Tian joked, "Are you going to treat us?"

Ouyang Ying shook her head and looked at the waiter seriously.

"Ten more of the same size steak that you just served me, please pack them up."

Xu Tian nearly vomited blood in anger. "Eating and taking things at the same time? Is this how you cultivators show your generosity?"

Ouyang Ying said seriously, "I want to take it back for my younger brother to try."

After saying that, he felt that it was inappropriate to say it that way.

"May I?"

Xu Tian's face darkened. "Just do as he says, pack ten more portions."

After suppressing a smile, the waiter settled the bill and went to instruct the kitchen to pack it up.

"Then you wait here to pack up, I'll take Chu Lan back first."

Xu Tian held Chu Lan's hand, intending to leave.

Ouyang Ying quickly stepped forward, "Young Master, to prevent you from making a mistake, you should put on the mask."

Xu Tian was stunned. "Are you crazy? This is the city center. If I wear that thing, how many people will laugh at me?"

"With your current abilities, you should be able to control some of the mask's functions."

Ouyang Ying insisted.

Xu Tian took a deep breath and put on the mask in front of everyone.

This was the first time Chu Lan had seen the mask that had been made specifically for him, but when Xu Tian put it on, the mask disappeared into thin air.

She subconsciously touched Xu Tian's face, and indeed there was nothing there.

"Where...where's your mask?" Chu Lan exclaimed in surprise.

Xu Tian gave a helpless, wry smile. "I'm already embarrassed enough, so please stop teasing me!"

"Really, you'll see."

Chu Lan turned on the camera on her phone and showed it to Xu Tian.

Xu Tian took the phone and then returned it to Chu Lan.

"Of course I'm wearing it, don't joke with me."

Seeing this, Ouyang Ying smiled and explained.

"President Chu, there's no need to be surprised. This mask uses special materials and techniques, and only the young master can see it."

"This is because the young master has mastered a certain degree of energy manipulation ability, and can make the mask appear or disappear at will."

As he spoke, he gently patted Xu Tian's shoulder. A faint light seemed to flash across Xu Tian's face, but the mask remained invisible to Chu Lan.

Chu Lan stared wide-eyed, circling Xu Tian several times, trying to find the legendary mask from different angles, but only caught Xu Tian's innocent yet smug smile.

"What about other abilities?"

For example, it can transform into the appearance of any person at will.

Ouyang Ying continued, "This mask recognizes its master. This change only means that it has recognized you as its master. As for the abilities you desire..."

"Your qualifications are not quite there yet, young master."

Xu Tian responded with a disappointed tone, but it was already quite good that he could make a seemingly ordinary mask invisible according to his wishes.

He was content and didn't ask for anything more.

However, it must be said that he originally wanted to get rid of Ouyang Ying and hurry home with Chu Lan to do some bad things.

But when he put on the mask, he instantly lost the desire to do that kind of thing.

Instead, he was surprisingly calm, as if nothing in the world was worth his attention.

"Okay, then you wait here, I'll take her home."

With that, Xu Tian took Chu Lan's hand and left the Western restaurant.

Even after getting into the car, Chu Lan remained intensely curious about the mask.

Xu Tian felt quite helpless seeing her staring at him.

How can I make this mask appear in front of Chu Lan?

Thinking this way, something unexpected happened.

"I saw it! I really saw it!"

With a gasp from Chu Lan, the mask gradually appeared.

Xu Tian smiled knowingly. Sure enough, this mask could be changed at any time according to his inner thoughts.

Chu Lan curiously touched the mask with her hand; it was icy cold, and she could clearly feel the chill gently passing through her fingertips.

"that's amazing!"

She smiled at Xu Tian like a child.

Xu Tian's eyes softened, "Silly girl, you're only thinking about the mask, don't you think about how many days it's been since we had marital relations!"

Chu Lan blushed and became shy.

"Isn't this for your own good? I don't want to become a burden to you in the future."

Xu Tian gently flicked the tip of her nose. "How could that be? The reason I trained so hard was so that I could protect you."

"makes sense."

Chu Lan chuckled to herself.

But then she became serious again.

Today I was so busy dealing with the crisis at the American Medical Group that I overlooked a text message from a mental hospital.

Meanwhile, Xu Tian also had something on his mind, considering whether or not to tell Chu Lan that he and Zhao Jing had slept together.

"I have something to tell you."

"I have something to tell you."

The two said almost in unison.

Xu Tian hesitated for a moment, then said, "You go first, your matter is more important."

Chu Lan nodded. "Zhang Qian escaped from the mental hospital!"

Xu Tian frowned. When Zhang Qian decided to receive treatment, she went in with the mindset of getting better. How could she have escaped from there?

In addition, mental hospitals are managed very strictly, and almost no one can leave there.

So he felt something was wrong.

Chu Lan continued, "It seems someone took her away, but I don't know the specifics."

"Forget it, let's just ignore her. We've done more than enough. What she does or where she goes in the future is none of our business."

Xu Tian comforted him.

Chu Lan hummed in agreement, then asked, "What were you trying to tell me?"

Xu Tian's throat tightened; he didn't know how to bring it up with Chu Lan.

Xu Tian took a deep breath, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

"Actually, it's about..."

Just as Xu Tian mustered up the courage to confess to her, Ouyang Ying suddenly rushed to the front of the car and anxiously pounded on the car window.
