Chapter 258: Success Achieved
Lu Zechuan slightly furrowed his brow and looked up at Xia Mian.Xia Mian gave him a calming glance, signaling him to wait here.
Although Lu Zechuan was still uneasy about Xia Mian, he feared that insisting on following might anger Qin Shuang and spoil Xia Mian’s plans, so he could only stand there with a sullen face, silently waiting.
Ling Fei and Wei Wei cautiously stayed with Lu Zechuan, guarding the spot, while Wei Wei carefully wiped the stone bench in the yard with her sleeve, saying to Lu Zechuan, "Young Master, come sit here?"
Lu Zechuan gave a low "Hmm," and then sat down on the stone bench.
After that, he turned to look in the direction where Xia Mian and Qin Shuang had disappeared, his dark eyes deep and thoughtful.
Sun Xiao stood by Lu Zechuan’s side, rubbing his hands with a slightly strained smile, "Mr. Lu, I have already helped you find the person, but I have matters to attend to at home, so I’ll be heading off first..."
Lu Zechuan gave a low "Hmm," and Sun Xiao carefully withdrew from the dilapidated yard.
If he hadn’t run into Xia Mian by accident, he really wouldn’t have wanted to wade into these troubled waters.
After all, the people from the Heavenly Maiden Clan are notoriously vengeful.
And he, indirectly caused the death of Qin Cui before.
Although this Qin Shuang was expelled from the Heavenly Maiden Clan long ago, she still bears the blood of the Heavenly Maiden Clan, who knows if she might suddenly go crazy and seek revenge.
Not long after Sun Xiao left, Gu Zhi emerged from the house with a plate of fruit. Her expression cold, she walked to the stone table in the yard and sat down opposite Lu Zechuan, pushing the plate of fruit towards him, "They probably won’t be back for a while, have some food!"
Lu Zechuan glanced at Gu Zhi, his eyes indifferent, "No need."
There was certainly no camaraderie between him and Gu Zhi.
Previously, she was hostile towards Xia Mian, and now she was actively being friendly, likely with ulterior motives!
Lu Zechuan’s attitude was cold, and Gu Zhi did not persist; instead, she glanced towards Wei Wei and Ling Fei.
These two gave her a strange feeling, she had never seen them before, probably people Lu Zechuan brought back from another world?able for three days and nights.
Three days later, Xia Mian opened her eyes.
Her gaze had deepened further, akin to miles of starry galaxies.
Seeing Xia Mian open her eyes, the worry in Qin Shuang’s heart finally eased.
Fortunately, Xia Mian had not lost herself in the river of time.
"Miss Qin, thank you." Xia Mian nodded slightly towards Qin Shuang, her smile becoming more genuine.
Qin Shuang smiled lightly, "Miss Xia, you are too kind."
After a brief pause, Qin Shuang spoke slowly again, "I hope Miss Xia won’t forget what you promised me before."
Xia Mian gave a faint laugh, "Rest assured, what I promised you, I will definitely achieve."
After speaking, Xia Mian stood up, "I am returning to the Divine Clan, will Gu Zhi come with me now, or wait until I return?"
Qin Shuang slightly bowed her head in thought, "We will go with you to the Divine Clan."
To prevent Xia Mian from misunderstanding, Qin Shuang added, "You have never used the magic for Defying Fate before. The first time you use it, with me observing, we can prevent you from veering off course."
