NOVPUBWu Qiong looked at Zhang Qingxue with a sly smile on her face: "Who would have thought that Miss Zhang would end up as an attendant at the Health Care Hall!"
Zhang Qingxue was furious: "Wu, if it weren't for you, would I have fallen to this point?"
Wu Qiong shook her head indifferently: "The Zhang Family's mistake is being too arrogant. If you hadn't stolen the plaque from the Health Care Hall, how could things have escalated to this level?"
Chen Nan didn't hear anyone stealing the plaque last night, but her East Wing was close to the entrance, and she clearly heard noises coming from there.
Wu Qiong continued: "Several days ago, Chen Nan's battle at Luming Island shook the entire Jianghu. Although no one saw her face clearly, now a Chen Nan who can overpower you has appeared in South City. Haven't you connected the two identities?"
"I..." Zhang Qingxue was speechless.
When she first heard the name Chen Nan, she did feel it was familiar, but she never linked her to the super master who crushed Hu Ba at Luming Island.
After all, this Chen Nan looks like she's just in her early twenties.
How could someone so young be the super expert who crushed Hu Ba?
"When did you learn her identity?" Zhang Qingxue asked irritably.
"Of course, after she defeated you!" Wu Qiong showed a faint smile, her face turning a little red.
The reason why she let Chen Nan help her wash her body, and even let her help in private areas, was all because she knew Chen Nan's true identity.
After all, as a child of the Jianghu, which woman wouldn't admire a great warrior?
Especially someone like Chen Nan, who is handsome, skilled in medical and Gu techniques, and a super master!
Zhang Qingxue was still angry, but when she saw Wu Qiong's infatuated demeanor, her lips curled into a meaningful smile: "Wu, could it be you've fallen for Chen Nan?"
Wu Qiong rolled her eyes, pouting irritably: "She's so remarkable, isn't it natural that I like her?"
Zhang Qingxue snorted, saying: "Then let's see who gets her first!"
She didn't have much fondness for Chen Nan, but knowing that Wu Qiong was infatuated with Chen Nan, made her want to compete!
After all.
She and Wu Qiong have always been rivals!
"You're shameless!" Wu Qiong's face turned pale with anger, she didn't expect Zhang Qingxue to compete with her for Chen Nan!
"How can this be called shameless?" Zhang Qingxue laughed dismissively: "Like you said, she's so outstanding, why should only you get to like her?"
"Besides, I've sworn that one day, I'll make her kneel beside me and beg for mercy."
"But her skills are so strong, even if I train for a lifetime, I might never be able to make her kneel in remorse before me!"
"Yet even so, I can still make her kneel and [soften] before me!" Upon saying this, a wicked smile appeared, clearly having thought of a way to deal with Chen Nan!
As the saying goes, the pursuit of love by a woman is thin as silk!
With her looks, figure, and demeanor, how hard can it be to win Chen Nan?
------
Chen Nan was sitting cross-legged in the front yard, cultivating, while sunlight filtered through the leaves of the sycamore tree, casting mottled shadows on him.
His breathing was steady, surrounded by a faint aura of Spiritual Energy.
Looking around, an air of profound mystery enveloped him!
Suddenly, a light footstep accompanied by a familiar jasmine scent drifted over.
He slowly opened his eyes to see Shen Qinglan approaching gracefully.
She wore a black silk strap dress, with thin shoulder straps accentuating her exquisite collarbones; the V-neck design perfectly traced out her faintly seen curves.
The dress fit her graceful figure perfectly, swaying gently with her light steps, occasionally revealing her long, fair legs.
A head of black soft hair lay somewhat disheveled on her shoulders, adding a touch of morning laziness.
Her makeup-free face bore a natural blush, with almond eyes slightly hazy from waking, long lashes casting soft shadows under the sunlight.
Her red lips curled into a gentle smile!
Her slender ankles wore soft plush slippers, with nails painted pale pink, shining like pearls under the sun.
She exuded a captivating aura of laziness.
"Awake?" Chen Nan's voice softened unknowingly, gazing at her tenderly.
A breeze passed, stirring the faint scent of her shampoo through her hair, mixing with her unique fragrance, lingering at the tip of his nose.
Shen Qinglan softly hummed, a hint of sorrow between her brows: "I'm sorry, dear, I must return to Beijing!"
The smile on Chen Nan's face froze instantly, a trace of reluctance flashing in his eyes: "Didn't we agree on staying for ten to fifteen days? Why are you leaving early?"
Shen Qinglan shook her head, helplessly saying: "My family called earlier saying there's an urgent matter requiring my return.".
Though deep down, she didn't want to leave, the moments spent with Chen Nan have long become her most cherished memories.
"Since your family has urgent matters, go back then." Chen Nan suppressed his reluctance, feigning ease: "Finish your tasks and come again; you're always welcome here!"
Shen Qinglan smiled brightly, her eyes glistening with tears: "Even if I return home, I will think of you, morning, noon, afternoon, and evening!"
Chen Nan stood up, gently pulling her into his arms, whispering by her ear: "I miss you too." His arms unconsciously tightened, as if wanting to remember every detail of the embrace!
After a brief farewell, Shen Qinglan left the Health Care Hall.
A discreet luxury black business car awaited at the entrance, its windows covered with dark anti-peep film.
Before getting in, Shen Qinglan turned back to look deeply at Chen Nan, eyes full of reluctance.
She slowly raised her hand, waving gently in the air!
As the car door closed, Chen Nan saw her lips move slightly, seemingly uttering something!
The business car slowly started, gradually disappearing at the street corner.
Chen Nan stood still, unwilling to leave, until he couldn't see the car anymore, finally sighing and turning back into the courtyard!
But at this moment.
He couldn't calm his mind for cultivating!
Because he could sense that Shen Qinglan didn't want to return, but was forced by unavoidable reasons!
And just at this moment.
Someone knocked on the medical hall's door!
Upon hearing the knock, Chen Nan's pupils revealed an unmistakable gleam, quickly rushing towards the door!
He had a premonition that perhaps Shen Qinglan had returned, unable to bear leaving him!
But upon opening the door, his brows furrowed, looking at the person with full disappointment: "Why is it you?"
