What? Chu Lanxi is colluding with the Devilish Dao!
Su Yuan was shocked!
Did he also go to be a security guard?
But soon, Su Yuan dismissed the idea.
Putting aside why Chu Lanxi, a rich kid, would run off to be a security guard like him, even if he did become one, he wouldn't bring him any opportunities, right?
So the collusion with Devilish Dao forces the System mentioned must refer to other industries it deemed to be in the Devilish Dao faction.
For example... bars? Internet cafes? Or bands?
In short, places related to pleasure.
Based on Su Yuan's thorough understanding of the System, this foolish conservative System that believed he had transmigrated to ancient times viewed these places of relaxation and entertainment as enemies.
But even these entertainment venues, what opportunities could they bring him?
Su Yuan couldn't figure it out and directly turned his gaze to the unusually handsome guy beside him.
Demonic Art: Command of Fate was quietly activated.
Rather than racking his brain to guess, it would be better to directly pry into Chu Lanxi's fate for today. Perhaps he could get some useful information.
The next second, several words wreathed in pink mist appeared above his head.
Upon closer inspection, Su Yuan almost thought he was seeing things!
[Stealing Fragrance and Jade (Unanswered)]
This was Chu Lanxi's fate for today.
Holy crap!
Chu Lanxi's fate was not right, it was nine-tenths not right!
Su Yuan's gaze was solemn as he scrutinized him from head to toe.
Hmm, handsome features, effeminate aura, fair and tender skin, and a good physique. He's perfect material to be a kept man.
Sensing the gaze from the next table, Chu Lanxi, who had been resting his chin on his hand and looking out the window, felt somewhat uncomfortable and instinctively sat up straighter.
He coughed lightly and turned to meet Su Yuan's scrutinizing gaze, saying coldly:
"Son, why are you staring at your father? I don't have a single cent to lend you!"
Su Yuan narrowed his eyes, preparing to directly ask the other person if he had someone else behind his back.
But as the words reached his lips, his heart suddenly stirred, and he changed his tune:
"Lanzi, I haven't seen you come eat my roasted goose these past two days. I'm roasting a new one in the cafeteria tonight. Do you want a hot serving?"
Chu Lanxi's eyes lit up, but then he sneered:
"Hmph! After two whole days, you finally remembered me?"
"Brother Yuan, you've gotten rich! You don't recognize your old father anymore."
His tone was filled with an unspeakable grievance.
"Stop the nonsense! Eat or not!"
"I'll eat."
More than an hour after school ended, Su Yuan cut a plate of the freshly made Dragon Scale Roasted Goose and had dinner with Chu Lanxi and Chen Nuoyi.
"Lanzi, thank you for waiting so long for me to roast the goose. How's my cooking?"
Su Yuan asked with a smile.
"It's this."
Chu Lanxi gave a thumbs up.
But immediately, as if afraid of the cold, he tightened his clothes and revealed a look of vigilance on his face:
"Sonny, why have I never seen you so attentive before? You're suddenly being so nice to me, and I can't help but feel a little creeped out."
Su Yuan's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to smile:
"What are you thinking? You used to treat me to meals often. What's wrong with me treating you once?"
"By the way, I remember you always have something to do every night. Do you have something to do tonight too?"
Chu Lanxi lightly patted his head:
"I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. It's almost eight o'clock, and I do have something to attend to."
Saying that, he got up to bid them farewell and hurried out of the cafeteria.
As soon as he left, the smile on Su Yuan's face instantly vanished. He whispered to the girl beside him:
"Class Monitor, I have a sneaking suspicion that Old Chu might have gotten involved with something he shouldn't have recently. I want to follow him and see what's going on."
A flicker of surprise flashed in Chen Nuoyi's beautiful eyes, and she immediately said:
"I'll go with you. If we really run into any bad guys, we can look out for each other."
Su Yuan didn't refuse. This was also why he had informed Chen Nuoyi about this matter.
Although high school students like them would be utterly outmatched by any Foundation Establishment expert, Chen Nuoyi still had the status of a young lady from the Chen Family.
Su Yuan didn't believe the Chen Family wouldn't have people secretly protecting her.
If she were truly in danger, wouldn't the Chen Family's people be able to rescue her with ease?
Of course, the possibility of encountering danger was extremely slim.
After all, everyone understood the System's nature; it was always pulling old UC shocker stunts.
If he hadn't encountered the incident with the white-haired loli at noon, he wouldn't have felt the need to be cautious at all.
Fearing they would lose track of him, the two informed the kitchen and set off immediately. They met Chu Lanxi, who was leisurely walking out, at the school gate.
As soon as they left the school grounds, they saw him take out a gleaming Flying Sword and ascend into the sky.
"Damn rich guy."
Su Yuan stared enviously at the cool, custom-made Flying Sword. He and Chen Nuoyi quickly scanned their Shared Flying Sword and chased after Chu Lanxi.
In terms of Flying Sword performance, the Shared Flying Sword was far inferior to Chu Lanxi's custom one. Fortunately, it was the peak of rush hour, and both the sky and ground routes were quite congested, allowing the two to follow Chu Lanxi at a leisurely pace.
They followed Chu Lanxi for over ten kilometers, arriving at the most bustling commercial street in Taihua City.
The sky had completely darkened. Neon lights powered by spiritual energy illuminated the entire street, making it as bright as day. Pedestrians bustled back and forth, creating a lively scene.
As a Takeout expert who had delivered all over the city, Su Yuan was naturally not dazzled by the prosperous street. He kept his eyes on Chu Lanxi, who was weaving through the crowd.
After numerous twists and turns, he and Chen Nuoyi found themselves in a secluded alley.
They peeked into the alley from the outside for a while. After watching Chu Lanxi disappear into the depths of the alley, they looked at each other in bewilderment.
Su Yuan was a bit confused. "There's an alley like this on the commercial street? How come I've never come here while delivering Takeout before?"
Chen Nuoyi said with some worry:
"Should we go in? I have a bad feeling about this alley. Maybe Chu Lanxi was coerced into going there."
Su Yuan hesitated.
Damn it, their life and studies had been so relaxed all along, why were dangerous things suddenly happening on the same day?
Could Chu Lanxi be colluding with the Devilish Dao?!
Just as Su Yuan was hesitating, a figure suddenly walked quickly in the direction of the alley.
Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi quickly pretended to be passersby and moved away, observing the newcomer carefully from a distance.
It was an urban beauty wearing a mask and sunglasses late at night, yet radiating an imposing aura.
She reached the entrance of the alley, first glanced left and right with a furtive air, and after confirming no one was paying attention, she zipped into the alley and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi, who witnessed this scene: "..."
After a long, long silence, Chen Nuoyi said with a blushing face:
"Su Yuan, I think I've seen this kind of plot in a TV drama before."
"You rascal, you!"
Su Yuan gritted his teeth.
A dark alley, the fate of "Stealing Fragrance and Jade," a customer visiting in secret... these elements were all too complete.
So, you were actually colluding with the Devilish Dao!
Is that Devilish Sect called the Joyful Union Sect?!
Then, why did you, darn System, think this place would be my opportunity?
