Meanwhile, in the other office, Nangong Nayue had been staring blankly at her cup of red tea for an hour. There weren't many classes in the afternoon, and it would be time to go home soon. She was about to encounter the secret that Lan Yu Qiancong had mentioned, but she had no idea what the outcome would be.
"Sigh... what a mess this is..."

Chapter 466 Nangong Nayue is having a headache, and the lucky Kurumi (Please subscribe~)
Time flew by and it was almost time to get out of school. Tsukushima Rin found Aiba Asagi, who was still packing her schoolbag. Aiba Asagi was stunned for a moment before saying helplessly, "Rin, you don't think I'm going to run away, do you? Do I even want to go to school?"
"Oh my, I'm so excited! I'm finally going to meet Asagi, the husband you look at hundreds of times a day!"
Asagi rolled her eyes and didn't say anything, continuing to pack her bag while looking at the chat interface on her phone. Tsukushima Rin glanced down and said with a strange look, "Asagi, what's the meaning of this sisterhood group? Do you have any cousins?"
Asagi looked up at Tsukushima Rin, and after a long while, she said with a strange smile, "This... you'll know when you come with me. Alright, alright, we should go find Chairman Nangong, otherwise she might be so anxious that she'll be pacing around in her office."
"Huh? Chairman, you can't be that serious... But if that's the case, it's actually quite cute..."
Lan Yuqian shrugged and didn't say anything, while Nangong Nayue on the other side really didn't spin around, but she had been picking up and putting down her cup of black tea for more than three hours, but she hadn't drunk a drop.
"If we're sure there's no danger, then... um?"
As Nanami 957 Natsuki was talking to herself, she saw her office door suddenly open. No one in the school had ever dared to enter her office so directly.
However, the furrowed brows that had just appeared immediately calmed down when she saw Lan Yu Qian Cong and Tsukijima Rin walk in. Nangong Nayue said softly, trying to appear calm, "So, you're not here to tell me that there's been some unexpected situation, are you?"
"No, not at all. But speaking of which, I'm more curious about why you, Chairman Nangong, are holding a cup of iced black tea. Does it taste better?"
Nangong Nayue's eye twitched almost imperceptibly as she said in a deep voice, "I made some black tea and went out for a while. When I came back, it was cold."
"Oh, I thought you were staring blankly at your tea for so long because you were so excited and anxious, Chairman Nangong."
Nangong Nayue really wanted to cut it open to see if Lan Yu Qiancong did it on purpose, but her eyes told her that the child really didn't have that intention.
Nangong Nayue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In that case, can we set off now?"
"Huh? Chairman Nangong, the sun hasn't even set yet. My husband's restaurant is a night restaurant, how could it be open at this time?"
"so?"
"So, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Chairman Nangong, you and I should go home first."
Nangong Nayue paused for a moment and said, "Huh? To your house?"
"Chairman Nangong, you don't think there's any danger... My husband is such a good person! Besides, he's been busy all day, and we're not even sure if the opening will be on time!"
Nangong Nayue was also a little embarrassed, as if her tone did sound suspicious. She coughed lightly and said, "Of course I don't need to worry. I'm just wondering why we can't do it in the office."
"Because I need to change my clothes and touch up my makeup, Chairman Nangong. You must have never been in a relationship. Unless you're unhappy in your marriage, how could you not dress up nicely before meeting someone you like?"
Nangong Nayue suddenly didn't really want to go to the store anymore. She had a feeling that if she went there today, a lot of things might happen, at the very least, something called "dog food" would definitely be thrown in her face.
Nangong Nayue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then let's do it this way, let's go."
"Hmm? Chairman Nangong, did you bring an umbrella tonight?"
Nangong Nayue paused but didn't say anything before leaving the office. However, if you could see her face, you would see that Nangong Nayue's usually calm expression was now slightly clenched, indicating that she had broken down.
Asagi and Rin exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with amusement, and quickly followed. Meanwhile, on a park bench on the other side, a black-haired girl was holding a cat and staring blankly into the distance.
"Ah, the weather's getting cooler... I guess I should go grab a coffee... Hmm? What's that...?"
The girl, or rather, Kurumi Tokisaki, suddenly seemed to have discovered something. She put the cat aside and disappeared into the shadows, leaving only a bewildered cat. Where did the person go?
Not far away, a blue-haired girl said with a headache, "Kotori, are you sure you're not dreaming?"
"Onee-chan! Believe me! I've been telling you this for ages. Besides, even if I'm dreaming, come with me to wake me up and break this dream, okay?!"
The girl sighed and said, "Okay, but Kotori, shouldn't you have gone today to prove it? Today is Friday, and there's no school tomorrow, so what's the difference?"
After thinking about it seriously for a moment, Kotori Itsuka nodded and said, "But... there is a very serious problem."
"what?"
"I want to have a kids' meal today, but if I go to the restaurant, they offer a full meal. I'm so conflicted..."
The girl's eyes twitched slightly as she said with a bit of a headache, "Then I'll buy it for you tomorrow. Let's just prove it today... otherwise you'll nag me until midnight again."
"Onee-chan! I didn't mean it! I was just trying my best to make you believe me! Anyway, let's go early today, so we can chat with the manager and the others more!"
Only after the two left did Kurumi Tokisaki emerge from the shadows of the nearby woods. She gave them a meaningful look before smiling knowingly, "Oh dear... I didn't expect to have new customers at the shop. I guess I should go get a coffee..."
After saying that, she walked in the opposite direction with a smile on her face. However, before leaving, she turned her head back for a look. Seeing Kotori Itsuka's head twitch slightly, Kurumi Tokisaki's smile became even wider.
"Sure enough, when you're lucky, everything you do will be lucky..."

Chapter 467 Katarina's Advice: Never Go Back to Piltover (Please Subscribe~)
"So, Katarina, you came here specifically to talk about more than just this, right?"
After dinner, Lucifer and the others opened their shop as usual, and Justice and the others gathered together as usual. However, Katarina, who had been getting along well with Justice and the others these past few days, suddenly pulled Riven and the others into her room.
That's right, it's Riven and her group. "The group" refers to Vi and her friends. Katarina breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You might find this a little strange, but... after we go back this time, try to go back as little as possible."
Fiona frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
"Simply put, if Akali comes, she will bring Karma with her, and after that, as she said, the third party hiding behind the scenes will find me. At that time, she will not be able to obtain the power here, but she will do everything she can to obtain the connections here, and this will also be the best hiding place for her if she runs into trouble."
Jinx blew on her ahoge (cowlick) and casually said, "What's so special about that?"
Fiona seemed to have thought of something and said seriously, "You mean, because she's coming, Swain of Noxus will definitely try to find out something, and the result will be..."
“That’s right. Swain is farsighted. He must have realized that once the third party gains something, even if it’s just superficial friendship, he will definitely not sit idly by. The conflict between the two sides will become more and more obvious. And Noxus… Riven, you should know one thing very well.”
"what?"
Katarina said with a serious look, "Since the time of the kings, Noxus has always been about the supremacy of force. Therefore, Noxus is a huge war machine. Physical battles, magical battles, power, wealth, intrigue, cunning... everything that is deadly can be fought."
Riven nodded and said, "I know, so what?"
"So...warlords..."
Riven was stunned for a moment, and then her pupils suddenly contracted. Fiona and the others also frowned. Even Jinx knew that Noxus had always been dominated by powerful families and warlords, and this was even more true now.
Katarina clenched her fist and said in a deep voice, "Once it begins, the warlords and powerful families will definitely take action. I don't know whether Swain or that third party wants to see that, but this turmoil will definitely not be limited to just Noxus..."
"Piltover, Zaun, arch-rival Demacia, Ionia following behind, Bilgewater, Shurima deep in the desert... This may be the only, and last, chance to change the course of the war since the last great war. We can't afford to do nothing."
Caitlin and the others also looked solemn. Katarina said with some helplessness, "I was thinking about a question before. Mrs. Lucifer and the others said that many worlds may have reached their own golden age, a golden age that may be long or even never come again."
"So...our world...Shurima's sudden resurgence, Noxus's end of the King's era, the restless Shadow Isles, all of Runeterra is in turmoil, and Piltover...as a city of progress, possessing Hextech technology, is very likely to attract the attention of the Noxian warlords in this regard."
Caitlin said in a deep voice, "Do you have any ideas?"
"No, I am just an assassin from a wealthy family. Politics and history are not my concern. Moreover, since the end of the King's era, Swain has been the de facto emperor. Although he only calls himself the Grand Commander, under his separation of powers and meritocracy, these warlords and families have long been engaged in open and covert struggles."
“Piltover is too close to Noxus. If a major family, preferably a warlord family, falls into a disadvantageous position, then Hextech could very well become a key weapon that is fought over. And Swain and the Third Horn, whether they manage it or not, are by no means simple.”
Jinx pursed her lips and said, "So, does that mean that big-headed Yordle and that bastard Jayce will both be found?"
Vi sighed and said, "Boom, Jayce is a jerk, but Dr. Heimerdinger is still respectable. What do you mean, 'big-headed Yordle'?"
"Hmph! He just has a big head!"
Vi sighed but didn't say anything. Caitlyn thought for a moment before saying in a strange tone, "But if we're going to take action against Piltover, Piltover is now under the control of Lady Grey, and Lady Grey isn't someone to be trifled with."
Asking for flowers
"So, we don't know what will happen yet. Therefore, Caitlyn, you and Vi absolutely cannot go back to Piltover. Your presence in Piltover is limited to what you said about going home to visit family."
Wei paused for a moment and said, "Although I never planned to go back, since my family is all here, I still want to ask why you said that."
Fiona and Riven realized something almost instantly. Their eyes widened, and Fiona said in a deep voice, "You... don't have enough background, but you have enough prestige. As long as you create enough surprises, they can push you to the top and thus sideline Piltover, making you... the nominal rulers of Piltover."
....0 ...
Caitlin paused for a moment and said, "But... what could possibly make...?"
"Never underestimate those truly capable Noxians. If they want to make a move, it's beyond your imagination. So you'd better stay away from Piltover. If they find someone to support them, then let that Grey Lady handle it or find someone else to take the blame."
Lux tilted her head and said, "What about us? Sona and I are sure no one will find us, and the Bouvier family and the Crownguard family are both top-tier families."
Katarina sighed and said, "Piltover is under Hextech control, but as for Demacia, the best way... you haven't forgotten what it is, have you...?"
"war?!"
“That’s right… It all depends on what that third corner does when she goes back. I have no right or ability to restrict or even advise her. She has a safe place to retreat to, and she knows about powerful forces and the power and treasures of countless worlds.”
"No one knows what methods she will use to become your friend or one of your own. This will definitely cause turmoil in Noxus, and Swain won't just stand by and watch, especially with Darius, that reckless brute, around. Since we can't just let things simmer, let's make this pot of soup boil."
"Even I know this..."

Chapter 468 Nangong Nayue's Pressure, Nangong Nayue is in an Awkward Situation (Please Subscribe~)
Lux and the others had anticipated what would happen, so they were already considering how to "communicate" with this upcoming third party.
While Lux and the others were still discussing, in the other apartment, Asagi Aiba had already taken a shower and changed her clothes, and was sitting in front of the vanity, carefully putting on her makeup.
Seeing Lan Yuqiancong like this, Nangong Nayue, who was sitting to the side, pursed her lips. It was clear that Lan Yuqiancong loved her fiancé very much. A woman dresses up for the one she loves, and Lan Yuqiancong was humming a song while putting on makeup, and she didn't hide her smile at all.
However, even though that's what she said, what does it have to do with Nangong Nayue?! It's not like she's in a relationship; she's only concerned about when they can set off.
Unlike Nangong Nayue's anxiety, Tsukijima Rin was quite relaxed, sipping her drink and flipping through the photo album. She called Nangong Nayue to come and take a look, but Nangong Nayue only glanced at it before turning her head away again. She really couldn't concentrate on looking at any photo album.
Finally, after Lan Yuqian applied her setting powder, Nangong Nayue, still with a tense expression, spoke in a deep voice: "Now you should open the door, right?"
Lan Yuqian sighed and said, "Chairman Nangong, that's my husband! Why are you more anxious than me?"
Nangong Nayue's eye twitched slightly as she said, "Why can you make something so normal sound so strange? So, when are we leaving?"
"Let's leave now, otherwise being watched all the time will be a headache. However, Chairman Nangong, Alan, I need you to promise to do something."
"What?" x2
"It's best not to bring anyone with you."
"Huh?" x2
Asagi said with a serious expression, "You can bring people, that's your right and freedom, but you'll understand why we advise you not to bring people once you've been to the store."
Nangong Nayue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No problem, let's go then. I want to see how you just disappear from the room."
Tsukijima Rin was taken aback for a moment and said, "Huh? What? Suddenly disappeared? Weren't you going out?"
Lan Yuqian sighed and walked to the wardrobe without saying anything. Nangong Nayue said in a deep voice, "You're not going to tell me you want to change your clothes, are you? You spent an hour picking them out."
Asagi didn't say anything, but silently placed her hand on the wardrobe door. Tsukijima Rin was about to say something when he froze. Nagatsuki Nanami took a step back, narrowed her eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Aiyu, you'd better give me an explanation!"
Upon hearing this, Asagi Aoba opened her eyes and chuckled when she saw the glowing wardrobe. The next moment, she pulled it open, and a soft and warm light appeared in front of the two of them.
Aiba Asagi looked at the two stunned people and chuckled, saying, "Didn't you really want to go? Let's go."
After saying that, she ignored the two of them and went inside. Nangong Nayue came to her senses, clenched her fist, grabbed her parasol, and quickly followed. Seeing this, Tsukijima Rin didn't care about being surprised and quickly ran inside. It was clear that only Aiba Asagi could give them the answer to all of this.
In that brief moment, Nangong Nayue had already thought of a great many things. The light was truly amazing, and Ai Yu Qiancong really did leave the room directly, which meant that she wasn't lying.
Most importantly, Nangong Nayue did not sense any danger in the light. However, this did not mean that she would let her guard down. On the contrary, she was now in a state of readiness to fight at any time.
And so, this scene came about.
Asagi jumped straight into Shiro's arms, Tsukijima Rin looked stunned, and Nagisa placed her parasol in front of her with a cautious expression, looking like she was about to make a move, but she was also slightly taken aback when she saw this scene. Lucifer and the others were also stunned while eating their midnight snack. What the heck? The scene is so weird.
Lucifer and the others turned to look at Asagi Aiba, then turned back. Yuuko Ichihara said with a strange expression, "This always reminds me of Katarina..."
"Hmm..." xn
In fact, if Nangong Nayue knew Katarina's state at the time, she would definitely have said, "Can't someone give her a way out? She feels so awkward right now..."
Aiba Asagi also sensed that something was wrong. She turned to look at the frozen Nangong Nayue and said strangely, "Chairman Nangong, what's with that expression?"
"Ahem... I was just being cautious, so now let's talk about it."
"Sigh... I mean, we can talk while we eat. Besides, this is my house. Do you think I'm going to run away?"
As Aiba Asagi spoke, she pulled Tsukushima Rin, who was still in a daze, to a table near Lucifer and the others. Nanami Nagatsuki, on the other hand, focused her gaze on Lucifer and the others' faces. She sensed a deadly threat, a powerful feeling that only those with magical abilities could perceive.
Lucifer and the others remained silent, merely observing Nangong Nayue with interest. This girl was even more interesting than they had imagined. Yakumo Yukari opened her fan and chuckled softly, "Oh dear... she seems to be a very interesting guest."
Lucifer, resting his chin on his hand, said, "Instead of saying it's a very interesting spell, it's more like..."
