The leader of the cultivation alliance has a crush on me.

As they were leaving after dinner, He Yunming looked at Song Ke and asked, "Song Ke, are you and Chu Tiancheng together?"

Song Ke didn't understand why He Yunming asked this, but she nodded without hiding anything: "Yes."

"Don't worry too much about He Wen. The fact that there's no news yet is a relief. I believe she'll be alright."

"By the way, Chu Tiancheng said he found He Wen's assistant. I'll let you know when she's here."

He Yunming nodded: "Okay, thank you very much."

When she got home, Song Ke called Chu Tiancheng, but the line was always busy, which made her uneasy.

Love-struck thoughts suddenly surfaced and made a sound that startled Song Ke.

Song Ke clutched her chest, still looking shaken: "I was wondering why you always come and go without a trace, without any pattern. I'm sure you'll be scared to death sooner or later."

The lovestruck girl smiled somewhat guiltily and said, "I didn't want it to be like this either."

If it weren't for the scarcity of spiritual energy in this world, and the fact that I was tricked and imprisoned, my spiritual energy wouldn't have appeared so intermittently.

The lovestruck person asked, "What's the situation here right now?"

Upon hearing this, Song Ke became excited and asked, "That's what I wanted to ask you too."

"Didn't you say that as long as I was with him, the mission would be complete? Now that we're together, what about the mission?"

Upon hearing this, the lovestruck girl asked excitedly, "You two are really together?"

Song Ke gave her a look that said, "What do you mean by that? You don't believe me?"

"I didn't say I didn't believe it, it's just a bit strange."

"But don't worry, if you're together, the mission should be complete."

At this point, the love-struck person suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, I know."

Song Ke looked bewildered: "What do you know now?"

Love-struck: "Of course it's you and Chu Tiancheng. If you two really like each other, his feelings will definitely be attached to you. Come on, let me see."

Song Ke listened to his words, looking completely bewildered: "Love root? What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Is your system malfunctioning? This is a romance world, not some fantasy world."

The lovestruck girl said with a look of disdain, "Oh, you don't understand."

"Show me your Kuaishou (a Chinese short video platform)."

Song Ke reluctantly opened her palm, and glanced at it herself: "There's nothing in my palm."

The lovestruck woman leaned closer for a closer look and indeed saw a faint red thread floating in the flesh of her palm, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

The lovestruck person was surprised: "That's strange."

"what happened again?"

The lovestruck man chuckled sheepishly, then said guiltily, "It's nothing, it's nothing."

Strange, even someone with a love-struck mind can't figure it out, but they're incredibly lucky to have stumbled into the right storyline by accident.

But judging from how weak that root of affection was, it looked as if a root of affection had been broken into several pieces.

"You talk to Chu Tiancheng first, and I'll study it."

"No, how can you be unsure about something like this? And you're even researching it? Are you using me as a guinea pig or something?"

The love-struck man chuckled, "Don't be in such a hurry. Besides, I see you and Chu Tiancheng are getting along quite well. Have you fallen for him too?"

If this love interest truly belongs to Feng Xun, and Song Ke has fallen for him, then Feng Xun will be incredibly grateful to her when they return.

Thinking of this, the love-struck person laughed out loud.

Song Ke looked at her with a puzzled expression: "What are you laughing at?"

"And that smile is...so sinister?"

The lovestruck man quickly composed himself and said with a serious face, "No, you're overthinking it."

"Wait here for my news. I'll let you know once I've confirmed it."

After saying this, the love-struck man was about to leave when Song Ke quickly called him back.

"Anything else?"

Song Ke asked her, "How much do you know about He Wen?"

The love-struck man wore an expression that said, "I don't know anything about the plot involving people unrelated to the mission."

Song Ke was speechless: "Then what exactly is your role?"

"Question reader?"

"That's insulting!" the love-struck man retorted with dissatisfaction.

Song Ke asked with a half-smile, "Are you human?"

"I...."

Then it realized what it was saying and muttered, "You're still cuter than before."

Before leaving, it kindly added, "Chu Tiancheng is facing a calamity soon; tell him to be careful."

Song Ke looked at the disappearing love-struck mind and realized, wait, why is Chu Tiancheng still in trouble even though she's obediently doing the mission?

Isn't this bullying?

The next day, Song Ke went to Chu Tiancheng's house to look for him, but was told that he was not home. She immediately dialed Chu Tiancheng's number when she got back to her car.

She thought, what kind of calamity could Chu Tiancheng possibly face? She'd only been here for so long and had only been in two car accidents.

The phone rang, and Chu Tiancheng's voice came through. It sounded like he was outside, as there was a gust of wind.

"Keke, I have something to do outside right now. I'll come find you later."

Song Ke asked directly, "Where are you?"

"You're coming to see me?"

“That’s good. It’s just as well that not only He Wen’s assistant has arrived, but Chen Bin has also been caught. However, don’t tell He Yunming about this yet.”

Song Ke asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Chu Tiancheng said, "We'll talk when you get here."

"I'll send you the location."

Song Ke hung up the phone and had just started driving when, coincidentally, she received a call from He Yunming.

She looked at the caller ID and thought, "No way, what a coincidence! They called right after I finished speaking."

When Song Ke answered the phone, He Yunming asked in a fairly normal tone, "Song Ke, where are you now? Do you have time today?"

Song Ke looked conflicted as she listened to his question.

"I have something I'd like to ask you, about Gu Qing."

Upon hearing this, Song Ke felt that it would be unreasonable not to go.

"Where are you?"

He Yunming said, "I'm near your shop. If it's convenient for you, let's meet at your shop."

Looking at the address Chu Tiancheng sent, which also indicated that she would be passing through that area, Song Ke nodded and said, "Okay, see you later."

After saying that, she sent another message to Chu Tiancheng: "I have something to do, I'll be over later."

Chu Tiancheng looked at Song Ke's message without giving it much thought. He never imagined that this would be the last message Song Ke would send him.

He looked out at the road, where there were large patches of wild grass. It was an abandoned factory, and it was here that he had captured Zhou Chu.

Assistant Fang came out, looking rather grim: "President Chu, we've already notified the doctor. The person is alright."

"However, this matter will probably not be resolved so easily. He Wen has quite a few injuries, including a broken ankle. Even if it is set, she may not be able to recover to her previous state."

Chu Tiancheng's face was gloomy, and he sighed: "Have people do their best to treat him. If all else fails, call Ji Mingchi over."

Assistant Fang nodded: "Understood."

Chu Tiancheng turned and walked inside, asking, "What did Zhou Chu say?"

Assistant Fang told the truth: "He still refuses to confess and is causing trouble inside."
