Seeing Zhao Guo'an lying on the ground and Zhen Jinghan helping him up, Qi Xiaoman and Xiao Yalan exchanged a glance, both feeling an indescribable disappointment.

When they unexpectedly bumped into Xiao Feng at the temple, they were ecstatic and excited, thinking it was a magical twist of fate, and they might just have a romantic story with this incredibly handsome guy.

However, after realizing that the women around Xiao Feng were all exceptionally beautiful, they felt a bit deflated.

But if Xiao Feng couldn't be relied upon, there was still Zhao Guo'an as a backup plan.

But now it seems, this backup plan is also hopeless.

At that moment, their faces remained calm, but their hearts were already in turmoil!

Why, why did fate have to be so cruel to them?

It was rare to meet two handsome guys, but both had their hearts taken, and what's more infuriating, the women around them were all more beautiful, was this even fair?

After lamenting the injustice, they exchanged another look, deciding in their hearts to take their leave.

No choice, the blow was too big, they needed some time to recover.

Before they could speak, a young man carrying some wine and food walked in: "You haven't eaten yet, have you? I brought some wine and dishes, shall we have a drink?"

The newcomer was Di Junxiong, but after speaking, he froze, staring intently at the injured Zhao Guo'an.

"Uncle, did someone beat you up?" Di Junxiong asked curiously.

"Adult matters are none of your concern," Zhao Guo'an reprimanded in an old-fashioned manner, although he wasn't much older than Di Junxiong.

The appearance of Di Junxiong reignited some hope in Qi Xiaoman and Xiao Yalan, although this one's looks might be slightly lacking, he still could be considered relatively handsome.

With this thought, they began planning in their minds how to introduce themselves properly, and what to say later.

Xiao Feng waved Di Junxiong over: "You came at the right time, come by my place at seven tomorrow morning."

"Okay, Master!" Di Junxiong readily agreed, not even asking what for.

Everyone went to the kitchen to have dinner together, Xiao Feng felt a bit regretful, a good show hadn't even started and it was over, this wasn't how he imagined it at all.

At the dinner table, Di Junxiong sensed something odd, why did those two girls keep looking at him?

Could it be his zipper was open?

Looking down, he found that wasn't the case.

Before he could figure it out, Ninth Master stood up, grabbed an empty bowl, and took a few servings of food from each dish, saying: "I'm going to find Old Sun for a drink, you young folks enjoy your meal."

With that, he grabbed a pair of chopsticks and left.

At this point, Xiao Feng and the others also noticed the oddness of Qi Xiaoman and Xiao Yalan, they exchanged looks and then, as if in a race, hurriedly finished their meal.

Five minutes later, everyone had left, leaving only Qi Xiaoman, Xiao Yalan, and a bewildered Di Junxiong at the table.

"Hello, I'm Qi Xiaoman," Qi Xiaoman said, extending her hand with a slight blush.

Di Junxiong smiled and was about to shake hands when Xiao Yalan also extended her hand: "Hello, I'm Xiao Yalan."

"Uh…" Hesitating for a moment, Di Junxiong simply extended both hands, shook theirs, and smiled: "I'm Di Junxiong. One question, why were you two looking at me like that earlier?"

"Before answering your question, you have to answer mine first," Qi Xiaoman half-joked: "Do you have a girlfriend?"

"Not at the moment," Di Junxiong honestly shook his head.

With a clear answer, Qi Xiaoman and Xiao Yalan turned to look at each other, unable to separate for a while, as if an invisible lightning bolt existed between their gazes, intensifying the atmosphere.

This scene made Di Junxiong feel uneasy, he stood up to excuse himself, "You two take your time, I'll be going…"

Before he could finish, they both turned to him and sternly said, "Sit down!"

Di Junxiong plopped back into his chair, his expression seemed to ask: Who am I? Where am I? What's going on here?

For a moment, Di Junxiong even felt like a criminal in an interrogation room, with two "female officers" warning him to come clean, offering leniency for confession, severity for resistance!

Fortunately, Qi Xiaoman and Xiao Yalan's aura soon diminished, smiling, they began to fire off a series of questions.

Like what he liked to eat, drink, watch on TV, whose novels he liked to read, and so on.

Di Junxiong answered each question, truly feeling like he was embodying a criminal.

However, this was just the beginning.

Next, Qi Xiaoman and Xiao Yalan continued their probing questions, digging into what Di Junxiong did for work, how many people were in his family, whether he owned a house, a car, everything was investigated.

This made Di Junxiong sweat, thinking that if these two didn't go into law enforcement, it would be a real waste of talent, even interrogating a suspect wasn't done with this level of detail.

This questioning session, with two asking and one answering, lasted a full half-hour, finally reaching the ultimate question…

"If you had to choose one of us as your girlfriend, who would you pick?"

Di Junxiong's gaze lingered uncertainly between Xiao Yalan and Qi Xiaoman, finally he couldn't help but shout: "Master, save me!"

Moments later, Xiao Feng walked in, instructing Di Junxiong: "When you leave, escort these two beauties home, you all can continue talking, I won't intrude."

Di Junxiong grabbed Xiao Feng, pleading: "Master, you can't just leave me like this..."

But Xiao Feng just pushed Di Junxiong away: "Don't make a scene among men."

Watching Xiao Feng's carefree departure, Di Junxiong felt coming here today was a complete mistake, where did these undiscovered law enforcement talents come from in the first place?

"You still haven't answered the question," Xiao Yalan reminded him.

"..." Di Junxiong.

...

Smoothly disappearing, Xiao Feng went to Sun Shijie's room, with only a day and night left before they had to leave for the underground structure, it was high time to get some answers.

Like what mechanisms were in the underground structure, how to avoid them?

As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy, win a hundred battles without peril, Xiao Feng was not willing to fight an unprepared battle.

Sun Shijie pondered for a while and said, "In fact, during the time we rescued Iwakami Ryoji, I reached the deepest part of the underground structure; how far it extends beyond that, I don't know.

As for dangers, they mainly lie in the narrow roads; once the mechanisms along the way are activated, reacting even slightly slow will leave you with no escape. Back then, I only had some basic martial arts training; I wasn't any sort of expert.

With your skills, the first thousand meters pose no threat at all."

Hearing this, Ninth Master chimed in: "Old Sun, such a large project must have design plans, think carefully, did your elders leave behind any drawings or anything like that?"
