It seemed as if she hadn't even noticed what Su Chen was doing.

Hmph, sister-in-law, I know you can disguise.

In terms of disguise skills, even ten of me are not as good as you.

No reaction, huh?

Let's see if you can always remain calm!

Su Chen deliberately held Yu Meiren's hand.

Yu Meiren seemed a little shy.

However, she did not resist.

Letting Su Chen hold her hand.

She's not stupid, she obviously knows that Su Chen is likely doing this to provoke the stunning woman in front of her.

Earlier, when she saw Gu Niwei'er, she felt that Gu Niwei'er was incredibly beautiful.

In her lifetime, she had never seen a woman more beautiful or with a better aura than Gu Niwei'er.

However, when she saw this woman suddenly enter the private room.

She was suddenly astonished.

Turns out, there was indeed a woman even more beautiful than Gu Niwei'er in this world.

This woman, whether in looks or figure.

Was the best of the best.

Perfect of the perfect.

Even Yu Meiren couldn't find the slightest blemish.

Especially the aura that was on her.

That kind of gaze...

Just what kind of gaze is that, exactly?

It feels almost like...

A deity looking down on all beings.

With Gu Niwei'er, Yu Meiren still had a bit of competitive spirit.

But with the woman in front of her.

She had no such notions at all.

Because it's completely a different level of existence.

Actually, speaking purely of looks.

This woman perhaps isn't much more beautiful than Yu Meiren.

However, when everything about her combines.

It instantly elevates her beauty several levels.

The most crucial is, the woman was wearing a very simple casual outfit.

Black pants, a white off-shoulder T-shirt.

This is the most ordinary attire.

People generally say clothing enhances the person.

But to this woman.

The opposite is true; it is the person enhancing the clothing.

A not-so-stunning outfit, when worn by her, immediately becomes special.

No reaction.

Still no reaction.

The look in Long Lan's eyes was like the drink Yu Meiren once called eternal.

Vast and profound.

Calm as water.

Su Chen was dissatisfied.

He wanted to see some change in Long Lan's expression.

Even just a hint would be enough.

Yet, Long Lan calmly looked at him.

As if viewing air!

Su Chen became quite frustrated.

He finally realized that no matter what he did, it was impossible to incite any emotional change in his sister-in-law.

Su Chen sorrowfully released Yu Meiren and then said to her, "You should leave first. I have something to discuss."

"Okay." Yu Meiren obediently nodded.

She sensibly withdrew.

Not forgetting to take one last glance at Long Lan as she left.

Truly beautiful.

Made her unable to summon even an ounce of jealousy.

Yu Meiren left.

Only Su Chen and Long Lan remained in the room.

Every time Su Chen met with Long Lan.

He felt a significant pain in his heart.

He could clearly sense that sister-in-law was like this due to some reason.

But sister-in-law was unwilling to tell him.

Could it be because his power wasn't enough?

Not qualified to know?

The atmosphere was somewhat silent.

Neither of them spoke.

Seemingly waiting for the other to initiate.

The fact that Long Lan came was a bit unexpected for Su Chen.

He had already prepared for the possibility that Long Lan wouldn't come.

However, Long Lan did come.

This gave him a bit of joy.

It seems Long Lan hadn't abandoned that emergency contact.

This indicates that Long Lan hadn't completely given up on the past.

She still held onto a glimmer of hope for the future.

However, when Su Chen deliberately acted intimate with Yu Meiren to provoke emotional change in Long Lan.

Long Lan merely looked at him as if seeing through him.

This made Su Chen feel a bit hurt inside.

Time ticked by minute by minute.

Finally, it was Long Lan who spoke first.

"If you have something to say, say it. I have other things to do."

Su Chen took a deep breath, suppressed the feeling of helplessness in his heart, and said, "Sister-in-law, I need your help."

"I am not your sister-in-law."

"Alright, Ghost Lan, I need your help." Su Chen sighed.

"Why should I help you?" Long Lan's tone was extremely mild.

"..." Su Chen's expression froze.

Indeed, Long Lan had no reason to help him at all.

In the past.

The two were willing to sacrifice their lives for each other.

But now...

Su Chen felt even more sorrow.

"What do you need my help with?" Just when Su Chen felt extremely disappointed, Long Lan suddenly asked.

Su Chen's heart once again came alive with hope, saying, "I want to meet Heavenly."

Long Lan's face finally showed some emotional fluctuation, frowning slightly as she said, "Why do you want to see him?"

"I want to take him down." Su Chen did not hide his intentions.

Long Lan said, "Give up, you can't do it."

"I've never tried, how do you know I can't do it?" Su Chen retorted.

Long Lan's gaze finally rested on Su Chen's face and said word by word, "Because if you want to kill him, you'll have to defeat me first."

If you want to kill him, you'll have to defeat me first!

Upon hearing Long Lan's words, Su Chen suddenly became stiff.

He didn't have absolute certainty of victory against one Heavenly, and if Long Lan was added to the mix...

There's no need to even think about it.

"Why do you want to kill him?" Long Lan asked.

"If I said it was to rid the world of evil, would you believe me?" Su Chen asked.

"I don't believe it." Long Lan replied without a moment's thought.

"Alright, Gu Niwei'er asked me to kill him." Su Chen sighed.

He didn't hide anything from Long Lan.

He didn't want to hide either.

He wanted Long Lan to understand.

Even though their situation has become like this.

He still was willing to trust Long Lan.

Believing, she wouldn't harm him.

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Long Lan wasn't particularly surprised and said, "I just knew it was her."

"Then do you know why she wants to kill Heavenly?" Su Chen asked.

"She didn't tell you?" Long Lan countered.

Su Chen shook his head.

"Of course, how could she possibly tell you." Long Lan said.

"Sister-in-law, don't keep me in suspense, tell me, what's going on? Why does Gu Niwei'er want to kill Heavenly?"

Long Lan paused and then said, "Actually, it's not much of a secret. To the outside world, Gu Niwei'er is Heavenly's fiancé, isn't she?"
