Lu Xing's face changed greatly, and he quickly tried to persuade him.
"Mr. Yan, things are not what they used to be. During your absence, Yan Jun could come and go freely in the underworld. Perhaps the other nine Yama Kings already know that we threw Yan Jun into reincarnation."
"What if Yan Jun has set up an ambush if we rashly go to attack him? Even if he doesn't have an ambush, what if the other nine Yama Kings interfere, or what if they become envious of us?"
"At that time, it will inevitably turn into a situation where all ten Yama Kings attack us, and we will become public enemies of the entire underworld."
"Please think twice."
Lu Xing used his hundred percent sincerity, trying to persuade Yan Jue.
But if Yan Jue were so easily persuaded, he wouldn't be Yan Jue.
"Hmph."
A defiant, fearless, and wild smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
"An underworld, yet ten Yama Kings occupy their own territories and rule independently. Isn't this division?"
Lu Xing's face instantly turned pale. He seemed to foresee that something earth-shattering was about to happen.
"Mr. Yan, you're not thinking of... This is too crazy!"
Yan Jue didn't speak, but the fire ignited in the depths of his arrogant eyes explained everything.
Seeing this, Lu Xing could no longer remain calm and knelt down on one knee.
"Mr. Yan, this matter is of great importance. Please discuss it with Miss Tang before making a decision. Do not act rashly."
Lu Xing's concern was for Yan Jue and the foundation they had built.
Having concerns and fears was only human.
Yan Jue didn't blame him.
Perhaps in the past, he would have been wary of the other nine Yama Kings, but now, everything was uncertain.
"I know your concerns, but even if we do nothing, will the other nine Yama Kings not be envious of our Immortal Mansion Group, this large cake?"
"It's only a matter of time before they gang up to divide us."
"Instead of waiting to die, it's better to take the initiative and gain the upper hand."
"This matter is settled. You don't need to persuade me anymore. I also know that this cannot be achieved overnight. The first step is to start with Yan Jun."
Lu Xing ultimately failed to persuade Yan Jue. He thought it would be better to tell Tang Xiaomin to persuade this crazy man.
"Lu Xing, discreetly gather people. And, you must not tell Minmin, or I will hold you accountable."
"Ah...?"
Lu Xing's thoughts were thus nipped in the bud.
To be honest, despite their familiarity, he absolutely did not want to anger Yan Jue, because the consequences would be dire. Su Dan Novel Network.
"Lu Xing, as you command."
...
In the blink of an eye, it was the first day of school.
Tang Yetian woke up before dawn and specially drove his newly bought Porsche to be washed and perfumed, creating as comfortable an environment as possible for Tang Xiaomin.
Zhang Meiyu had packed Tang Xiaomin's bag and was about to hand it to her when Tang Ye stepped forward and took it.
"How can our family's young lady carry her own schoolbag? Such rough work should be done by her brother."
Tang Ye was increasingly attentive to Tang Xiaomin, running errands for her to the point of being a sycophant.
Tang Xiaomin rolled her eyes at him. She knew his intentions all too well.
"If it weren't for that song, why would you be so solicitous?"
Tang Ye scratched his head sheepishly. He stopped pretending.
"Xiaomin, my whole life depends on you."
"Stop, stop, don't be so mushy. Otherwise, people might think I've done something bad to you."
Tang Xiaomin walked out the door, and Tang Ye followed closely behind.
Zhang Meiyu watched them bicker, and their harmony brought her comfort, causing her lips to curl up unconsciously.
Every time she saw Tang Ye, she would think of Tang Xu, and a trace of melancholy would tinge her smile.
"If only Tang Xu were still here."
...
At the door, Tang Ye绅士ly opened the car door.
"Xiaomin, I just washed the car this morning and even sprayed perfume. Come in and experience it."
Just as Tang Xiaomin was about to get into the car, a black car appeared on her other side.
The car window slowly rolled down, revealing Yan Jue's handsome face.
"Minmin, get in quickly. I'll drive you to school."
Disregarding Tang Ye's increasingly dejected expression, Tang Xiaomin took her bag from his shoulder and directly got into Yan Jue's passenger seat.
Watching them drive away, Tang Ye's mood sank to its lowest point.
"Heh... You only want me when you're being dumped. Now that he's back, you've abandoned me. Is your heart made of stone?"
...
They drove to Modu University and parked in their usual spot.
A group of over a dozen girls, led by Shu Ya, had already been waiting there.
As soon as the car stopped, Shu Ya happily stepped forward.
"Tang Ye, long time no see. How have you been...?"
Seeing that the person inside the car was not Tang Ye, but Yan Jue, Shu Ya's voice grew fainter.
Tang Ye hadn't come.
"Shu Ya, good morning." Tang Xiaomin greeted Shu Ya.
"Let's go in."
"Okay."
Shu Ya walked away with Tang Xiaomin.
The girls behind them also complained with disappointment: "We came so early, thinking we'd see Tang Ye. We haven't seen him all summer, and he hasn't posted anything on Weibo recently. I wonder what's wrong with him."
"Even if we can't see Tang Ye, the man driving just now was so handsome."
"Tch, you have no taste. That's the CEO of Immortal Mansion Group, Tang Xiaomin's boyfriend. If you want him, you'd better be able to beat Tang Xiaomin first."
"Forget it, forget it. Tang Xiaomin is such a freak, who can beat her?"
...
Shu Ya couldn't help but ask.
"Xiaomin, where is Tang Ye? He didn't post on Weibo at all this summer. How has he been recently?"
Shu Ya was falling deeper, and Tang Xiaomin didn't know how to persuade her.
"He's having a concert next week, and tickets will go on presale three days before."
Shu Ya's eyes lit up instantly.
"Ah? Really?"
"Yes, I wouldn't lie about something like this."
"Really, that's great."
Shu Ya's mood turned from gloomy to sunny just because of a single sentence.
"Shu Ya, I want to ask you about Lu Sisi."
"Ask away, I'll tell you everything I know."
Tang Xiaomin hesitated, then decided to tell Shu Ya what she had investigated.
"The night Zhang Guo'er hit me with her car, Lu Sisi went to a bar to drink with her. You hang out with Lu Sisi, so I wanted to ask you about her relationship with Zhang Guo'er."
"What did you say?"
Shu Ya's face suddenly became serious and solemn.
"Lu Sisi was with Zhang Guo'er before she ran me over. But as far as I know, they didn't have any interaction before. Is there some hidden reason?"
"Oh, right. Zhou Dan used to be best friends with Zhang Guo'er. Why don't we ask her?"
Together with Shu Ya, they found Zhou Dan in the corridor.
Zhou Dan looked at Tang Xiaomin with some wariness. Before they could ask, she spoke first.
"The incident of Zhang Guo'er hitting your brother with her car has nothing to do with me. I broke off all contact with her long ago."
