As I lamented, Wang Zai suddenly collapsed. We rushed to check—he had passed out! We couldn’t help but laugh and cry. This little guy really knows how to surprise people.
Mu Ji Yu had been drinking with Meng Yu and might have had too much. His cheeks were flushed, eyes misty, with a charming smile. Tapping the table, he slurred: “Xiao… New, I’ll… sleep over there.”
I nodded, handing Shi Ran to him: “Help me take care of him. The little one had a bit to drink too.”
Now only I, Jing Hao Bai, Xiao Zizi, Feng Qing Yin, Yi Qing, and Meng Yu remained. Heh, all my people… well, Yi Qing and Meng Yu are half each. Yi Qing wants me when I don’t want him; Meng Yu is the opposite.”
Ah, how complicated. I took a bite of food and saw Xiao Zizi yawn: “Why so sleepy?” His yawn was contagious, and we suddenly felt drowsy.
Meng Yu stood up: “We’ve been careless!” Then he collapsed.
We were shocked and quickly stood up. Soon, we heard two thuds—Jing Hao Bai and Feng Qing fell, and Xiao Zizi, unable to regain his consciousness, slumped back into his chair and fell on the table with a frown.
“Flower Sect Master, we meet again.” The door opened, revealing Iron Book Zi’s group, now led by someone of high status, as indicated by Iron Book Zi’s respectful demeanor.
I stared at him: “You actually use such methods?” It was surprising that the famous Cold Family Fortress resorted to such tactics. Aren’t heroes supposed to be upright and honorable?
As if reading my thoughts, the leader sneered: “Cold Family Fortress rose to power across both black and white worlds in just over a decade. The Flower Sect Master is still too naive.”
Before he could finish, I narrowed my eyes and struck, each move ruthless. I had to act quickly or face unbearable consequences.
I felt like I was going crazy, my pupils dilating. I grabbed my face, my nails digging into my cheeks, drawing blood.
Blood droplets burst out, making the world completely insane. Chaos, chaos, chaos. When I came to, I met Taibai’s worried gaze.
“Taibai!” I saw hope, gripping his shoulders tightly, afraid he would disappear, “Save him, please save him! I beg you!”
