Chapter 329: A Sugar

At Ling Jun’s residence in the International a.s.sociation…

“Has your arm recovered?” Ling Jun looked at Su Chen, who had been following behind him.

Su Chen pursed her lips. She could already feel the change in Ling Jun’s att.i.tude recently. “I’m sorry, Your Highness. Ling Jun. This time…” At this point, she lowered her head. “I implicated you and caused you to lose so much…”

“It’s fine.” Upon hearing this, Ling Jun ma.s.saged his temples. “You helped me back then. Besides, I only suffered a scolding from the head of the family. I didn’t really lose anything.

“Go back and rest first. I am contacting the clan to see if any high-level potion makers can help you recover your arm.” Ling Jun glanced at her and hesitated for a moment, but he didn’t say that the potion maker behind Su Huiqing’s potion shop could save her.

Recovering her arm! This was the best news Su Chen had heard today.

“Thank you, Your Highness, Ling Jun,” Su Chen said to Ling Jun before walking out.

Behind him, the conversation between Ling Jun and the guard sounded.

“Master, you look different today.”

Hearing that, Ling Jun lit a cigarette. Amidst the smoke, only his slightly deep eyes could be seen. “I don’t know why, but I feel that this King of Mercenaries is different from what I heard. Today, she actually gave up on Unknown Island…”

He couldn’t explain his current state. Initially, Ling Jun was very proud to bring Su Chen back. However, he didn’t expect that in just a few days, the people from the International a.s.sociation would refresh his values.

He felt that the difference between him and the King of Mercenaries was too great.

The guard glanced at Ling Jun. He knew what Ling Jun was thinking.

Ever since Prince Ling Jun was born, he had been a genius in the clan. In the end, he might even surpa.s.s the current chief. Right now, it was his first setback.

“And that Yu Shijin.” Ling Jun frowned. “I heard rumors about the death of the King of Mercenaries. He started a ma.s.sacre on the International Battlefield. Why did he come back this time…?” It was as if he didn’t know Su Chen at all.

Instead, he protected Su Huiqing.

“Your Highness, will you be mistaken…?” The guard standing beside Ling Jun frowned.

“No!” Ling Jun immediately replied, “When I woke up, she was by my side. Under the chief’s watch, no one could hide anything from her.”

Outside the door, Su Chen—who had heard everything—clenched his left hand tightly and said softly, “Yu Shijin…”

Her eyes flashed darkly.

…

Monster University, where Yu Shijin rented…

He was flipping through a doc.u.ment on the sofa downstairs. Beside him was a cup of tea. On the other side was a chat log with the people from Void Island. Dressed in a well-tailored suit, he sat there with a cold and stern view.

A faint voice came from upstairs. Yu Shijin had yet to put down the doc.u.ment, but his clear eyes turned over.

Yu Shijin’s hand paused for a moment before shifting his gaze away. “I got someone to send Auntie to Gideon.”

“I know.” Su Huiqing had just showered and was drying her hair with one hand while speaking to Dugu Yusheng with the other.

Upon hearing Yu Shijin’s voice, she told Dugu Yusheng before ending the call. She walked towards Yu Shijin. “I’ve asked Chi Yue to investigate what happened before. That’s strange. He can’t find anything.”

Yu Shijin’s face remained impa.s.sive. “Since you can’t find out, don’t force it.”

“Persistence?” Su Huiqing sat on the coffee table in front of him. She placed her legs on the table and bent down to smile at him. That smile melted the evilness on her face, making her look even more seductive. “Who did you say was that person who fell from history?”

Yu Shijin slowly crumpled the paper in his hand into a ball. Other than the dimness in his eyes, there was no change in his expression, and he didn’t reply.

“Let’s change the subject. How long have you known me?” Su Huiqing narrowed her eyes and instantly relaxed her aura.

“You can ask me in another way.” Yu Shijin heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her retreating.

Reaching out, he pressed his hand against his forehead. He was not even sure if she had said anything. “For example… how long have I liked you?”

“…” The look in her eyes was too deep. Su Huiqing tilted her head to look at the doc.u.ment. However, the doc.u.ment was filled with words that she could recognize. She was so smart that she could not understand what those words meant.

“Then, how long?” Su Huiqing placed her hand on the table and whispered.

Yu Shijin was stunned. He didn’t look into her eyes but stared at her perfect chin. “…you seem to be asking about my age?”

Su Huiqing was still deep in thought when she heard this reply. She almost laughed out loud. “It’s not like I asked you how long it has been since you found a girlfriend. But honestly speaking, aren’t you always frivolous?”

Yu Shijin frowned and was about to speak.

At this moment, Su Huiqing continued to wipe her hair. She tilted her head to look at him and gave him a lazy smile. “This is the first time I’ve seen someone so excited after reading a doc.u.ment.”

d.a.m.n!

Yu Shijin’s mind was still ringing. He was struck by lightning and instantly felt a little dizzy. He never expected Su Huiqing to notice it!

At this moment, Yu Shijin couldn’t even see the message sent by the people from Void Island. His mind was filled with roaring sounds, and he felt his body being injected with hot blood.

“I heard from Chief Detective that you are investigating something important overseas. Why are you back so early?” Su Huiqing lowered her eyes.

Yu Shijin’s mind was still blank, and he didn’t think much of it. When he heard the question, he only replied, “Only you can use a level seven weapon on Unknown Island. When you feel that a level seven weapon is needed, I came back.”

Su Huiqing looked at him with no surprise in her eyes. “Who made a level seven weapon?”

“The two of us,” Yu Shijin said.

Su Huiqing nodded and didn’t say anything. She just threw the towel onto the table. She then bent down and covered his lips.
