Servey whispered into Ning Chen's ear, secretly tugging at his clothes to signal him to follow.

"Ye Lisi is returning."

Listening, Ning Chen withdrew his gaze from the blond man and hurriedly followed Servey out while no one was paying attention.

Just as the three walked out, the blond man's gaze fell upon the girl behind Ning Chen.

How could that girl's figure be so familiar?

Just as he intended to walk over that way, the black-robed figures in front suddenly moved toward him, murmuring in unison.

"Accept judgment!"

"Accept judgment!"

The blond man was gradually pushed backward step by step by the black-robed figures. "What are you doing! I am Wang Zi!"

Hearing his words, the black-robed figures showed not a shred of emotion and continued walking toward him.

"Stop!"

Ye Lisi's voice suddenly carried over. As Ning Chen walked out, he happened to pass by him; Ye Lisi glanced indifferently at Ning Chen but noticed nothing amiss.

"I will take you back first. As for this little girl, I have other guest rooms at home; I will tidy one up for her, and she can move in."

Hearing Servey's words, Ning Chen nodded indifferently.

He indeed needed to go back and rest properly; today's events, neither few nor many, were just enough for him to catch his breath.

That middle-aged man, another organization; just how many organizations are there in this place that he does not know about?

"A reminder: you have not streamed for a long time."

The system's voice sounded.

Ning Chen replied indifferently, "Understood."

He did not want to say much; after all, if streaming were opened in this place, leaking too many things would cause unrest.

With that thought, he followed Servey all the way back to the house.

Just as he was about to take the girl to the empty guest room, the girl stood motionless in front of Ning Chen, staring blankly.

Ning Chen looked down at the girl's feet and suddenly noticed she was not wearing shoes.

Walking barefoot all the way back with them, why did she say nothing?

"Servey, do you have shoes that fit her?"

Hearing this, Servey looked down at the girl's feet and frowned. "How did you bring her? You didn't even put shoes on her."

Although Servey had a daughter, she had grown up by now, so he could only search to see if any shoes from her childhood remained.

663. God, thank you for saving me.

Servey rummaged around the house until he found a pair of pink shoes and handed them to Ning Chen.

"I did my best; this is all I could find."

Looking at the pink shoes, Ning Chen glanced at the girl. "Try them on."

As he finished speaking, the girl looked at the pink shoes, nodded, and took them.

The shoes were neither too big nor too small; they fit perfectly.

Seeing the girl's feet now shod, Ning Chen felt perhaps a bit more at ease.

"This girl looks good; what is her name?"

Hearing Servey ask this, Ning Chen did not answer.

Simply because he did not know the girl's name.

Since rescuing the girl, she had obediently followed behind him without speaking, and he did not want to ask too many questions.

He did not want to get involved in the affairs of this place at all.

His sole purpose was to destroy Ye Lisi's headquarters and wipe out his branches as well.

Thinking this, Ning Chen did not answer Servey's question and turned to walk back to his room.

"Hey, this guy."

Watching Ning Chen walk away, Servey muttered a complaint. Seeing the girl move and about to enter, he quickly grabbed her shoulder.

"I prepared another room for you; come with me… Hiss."

For some reason, the hand he placed on the girl's shoulder suddenly felt a faint electric current, forcing him to immediately let go.

Holding his wrist, he watched the girl walk into Ning Chen's room and sighed, "Hey, all strange people."

Having said that, Servey had no choice but to turn and go downstairs.

Meanwhile, Ning Chen was standing outside the window, thinking of something, when a crack suddenly came from the doorway; he turned and saw the girl slowly walk in.

"God."

Seeing the girl, Ning Chen sighed.

He did not want trouble on his head, but the other party had come knocking on his door.

"Why are you following me?"

Ning Chen asked indifferently, while the girl obediently closed the door behind her first, then formed a fist with one hand and slowly placed it over her heart.

"God, thank you for saving me."

Looking at the girl before him, her eyes were still as hollow as before, as if she had been brainwashed.

"I am not your god; you have mistaken me for someone else."

As he finished speaking, Ning Chen turned and continued looking out the window.

The girl, who should have been behind him, had somehow appeared at his side.

"God, I still have shackles on me; you need to help me remove them."

Hearing this, Ning Chen paused in surprise.

He did not want to know what this shackle was, nor did he wish to help her; if he were to open his mouth and ask, matters would instantly become troublesome.

He kept staring out the window, stubbornly paying no attention to the girl's words.

Ning Chen kept staring out the window, while the girl stood by his side, not moving a single step.

With no other choice, Ning Chen turned around and lay back down on his bed.

He watched as the girl slowly turned to look at him.

The girl standing here forever was not a solution; if he did not find a way to get the girl to leave, he feared that by the end of the day, this girl would still be staring at him like this.

"Go out and find a room to sleep in."

Ning Chen spoke, and the girl, instead of arguing, obediently walked out.

Watching the door close once more, Ning Chen took a deep breath, covered his eyes with one hand, and slowly, he fell asleep.

Not knowing how long he had slept, Ning Chen suddenly heard someone calling his name.

"Ning Chen, Ning Chen?"

When Si Shiya's voice sounded in his mind, Ning Chen immediately knew he had fallen into anxiety again.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw a beautiful face crouching by the bedside, looking at him.

"Shiya."

This was a scene he had imagined countless times, yet Si Shiya was no longer by his side.

Si Shiya by the bedside suddenly smiled at him, stood up, clasped her hands behind her back, and hopped over to the window.

She tilted her head and smiled, then instantly vanished from Ning Chen's side.

And the next second, the entire room began to collapse; Ning Chen stood up calmly and unhurriedly.

When the surrounding environment reshaped itself, he found himself at Ye Lisi's headquarters.

He stood still in place while the things around him gradually sped up; suddenly, time resumed.

"Do not run around recklessly, or the God will punish you."

Ning Chen watched as Ye Lisi stroked the girl's head, smiling and saying these words to her.

The girl's expression was clearly not as empty as it was now; instead, she revealed a look of fear.

This was the first time he had seen the girl possess human emotions.

After a while, the figures of Ye Lisi and the girl vanished; immediately after, the figure of that middle-aged man appeared by his side, pointing to a building not far ahead and saying.

"Boy, that is the place you are looking for. Go ahead; I will wait here for your safe return."

As he spoke, when Ning Chen turned to look back, the figure of that middle-aged man had already grown farther and farther away, yet his voice was still shouting loudly.

"Boy! You must return safely!"

As the voice finally vanished, suddenly the scene before him instantly disappeared.
