Zhong Nianyao frowned, then spoke up, “Could you describe what that Ling Chao you know looks like?”
Zhang Jing was somewhat puzzled but still carefully described Ling Chao’s appearance.
After listening to Zhang Jing’s description, a flash of realization crossed Zhong Nianyao’s eyes.
Indeed, it was the same Ling Chao she knew. In the past, she had only thought of Ling Chao as a selfish person; she hadn’t expected that he was burdened with a person’s death!
During the time she had invoked the “pen spirit,” she hadn’t paid too much attention to Ling Chao. Otherwise, she would also have noticed the debt of life on him.
“Master, what’s wrong?”
Seeing Zhong Nianyao’s expression, Zhang Jing felt somewhat uneasy, not knowing if something had happened.
“It’s nothing, it’s just—” Zhong Nianyao turned toward Zhang Jing, flashed a brilliant smile, and then said, “The Ling Chao you mentioned, I know him as well.”
“What?” Zhang Jing was shocked, then worried, “Then you—”
What she was most concerned about now was whether Zhong Nianyao had a close relationship with Ling Chao and would take his side. If that were true, seeking justice would be much harder for her.
She had witnessed Zhong Nianyao’s capabilities. Moreover, Zhong Nianyao had a fathomless Lu Yichen by her side. No matter how she looked at it, they were not people she could afford to provoke.
However, having been harmed so badly by Ling Chao, it was absolutely impossible for her to just let it go. If Zhong Nianyao indeed sided with Ling Chao, then even at the risk of her spirit scattering in desperation, she was determined to drag that beast Ling Chao down to hell with her.
Watching Zhang Jing’s changing expressions, Zhong Nianyao didn’t need to guess to know what the other woman was thinking. She felt somewhat speechless, “You don’t need to let your imagination run wild. My encounter with that Ling Chao was just a brief one. So, however you plan to take your revenge, I won’t stop you.”
Only after hearing Zhong Nianyao’s words did Zhang Jing finally breathe a sigh of relief. If she wasn’t in the state of a ghost at the moment, her back would probably be covered in cold sweat by now.
“Alright,” Zhong Nianyao waved her hand dismissively, “you can disappear now! It’s getting late, and I need to rest.”
The next day, Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao did not return to the Gambling Stone Market but went to visit some famous scenic spots instead.
After a day of touring, Zhong Nianyao still wanted more. But because she was somewhat tired, she decided to return to the hotel to rest.
Watching the slightly weary Zhong Nianyao, a hint of helplessness crossed Lu Yichen’s eyes, “You still have a lengthy vacation ahead. If you like, we can stay here for a few more days; there’s no need to rush through all the scenic spots.”
“I’m not in a rush, okay?” Zhong Nianyao chuckled as she shook her head, “It was just a little hurried today.”
“Alright, alright, as long as you’re happy.”
In front of Zhong Nianyao, Lu Yichen always had the patience of a saint, “So, are we going to continue sightseeing tomorrow, or do you want to go back to the Gambling Stone Market?”
“Let’s continue sightseeing tomorrow!” Zhong Nianyao was quite enthusiastic, “We’ll visit more scenic spots then. The sights here really are quite different from those back home.”
She was genuinely interested in these things.
Back in Lai Country, she spent most of her time at National Master Hall. Since arriving in the modern world, she had never traveled abroad. The only thing that could count as a trip was accompanying Lu Yichen to a tomb, which barely qualified as travel. They were rushed the entire way, went straight to the tomb upon arrival, and immediately returned home after everything was resolved. It had indeed been a hurried trip.

Seeing Zhong Nianyao’s high spirits, Lu Yichen’s smile grew even more sincere.
Zhong Nianyao looked up and saw the smile on Lu Yichen’s face and those deep, inscrutable eyes that seemed to radiate an emotion she couldn’t comprehend.
For a moment, she didn’t know why, but she felt her heart in tumult.
Lu Yichen, who was always careful to notice Zhong Nianyao’s every reaction, quickly picked up on it. A tinge of excitement appeared deep in his heart, and his gaze grew even more profound.
He had been restraining himself all along, trying to proceed with caution, but only he knew there was a wild beast locked deep within his heart. Zhong Nianyao held the key, and should she one day fall for someone else, that beast would break free and shatter all his rationality.
Now, seeing that Zhong Nianyao was already showing some response, the joy in his heart was unimaginable.
For Lu Yichen, such moments were the most blissful, and he wished time could just stop right there. But, unfortunately, someone untimely disrupted this perfect moment.
“Miss, please, I beg you, help me! I really can’t afford to lose my current job!”
A figure quickly stepped in front of Zhong Nianyao and knelt down.
This sudden turn of events jolted Zhong Nianyao out of her thoughts. She hastily diverted her gaze, then properly turned to look at the person who had suddenly kneeled before her.
It was none other than the rash front desk attendant from the day before.
Lu Yichen’s expression instantly darkened at this disruption. If his gaze towards this front desk attendant was indifferent yesterday, now it was as cold as if looking at a dead person, utterly devoid of warmth.
It seemed that if he could, he would immediately deal with this person disturbing his and Zhong Nianyao’s time.
“Please get up,” Zhong Nianyao looked at the person kneeling before her, frowning deeply and with an unpleased expression, “Besides, you are blocking my way.”
“Miss, I beg of you, help me!” The front desk attendant continued to kneel there, pleading earnestly as she looked at Zhong Nianyao, “The manager is going to fire me, only you can help me now. Please do a good deed and speak a few kind words for me to our manager! You’re staying in the Presidential Suite; he will certainly respect your wish.”
After being scolded by the manager yesterday, she had received a notice of dismissal. Though she had anticipated it, accepting it when the notice actually came was still difficult.
She had gone through so much to secure a job at this Five-star Hotel. Yet now, she was being let go over a minor matter, which she found unacceptable. Furthermore, with such excellent conditions here, it would be hard for her to find such a good job after leaving.
