• Yu Xunhuan felt relieved that Yu Xunge had run away and decided to try his food-related luck at more banquets, keeping the skill secret from the Su Family.

Yu Xunge agreed to travel to another world with Zhao Shuying and Wu Qingbai, accepting steep fees and a loan to cover her return. After preparing for the trip and joining hundreds of players at the meeting point, she learned the expedition rules, while Su Yitong discovered that the authorities had taken over Yu Xunge’s skill.
