Since his exact abilities are unknown, and he has no specialized ether weapon yet,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>if equipped with a suitable weapon, reaching fifth grade would be no problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then recounted the details of his fight with Ye Qingfeng to the mayor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Leicaen confirmed repeatedly, Ye Qingfeng was not wearing any weapon; he had held back initially out of caution for Leicaen’s leg device, but later revealed his direct ability to attract or control ether.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he had done so deliberately...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he know beforehand that Victoria Housekeeping was backed by the city government? Was he testing or trying to curry favor with him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Interesting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When buying something, you compare three vendors—how much more so when choosing a partner?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No rush. First, send someone to observe him for a while. After all, such unorthodox abilities are hard not to associate with the Praise Society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unaware that Ye Qingfeng had merely revealed a sliver of his ability to observe Leicaen’s reaction, he was instead pushed into a full official procedure by the mayor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mayor quickly formulated a plan regarding Ye Qingfeng and relayed it to Leicaen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t wait passively for an opportunity. During this time, I’ll assign people to observe Ye Qingfeng. If no issues are found before the new year, we’ll invite him to collaborate under city government authority. If a special opportunity arises, I’ll let you take your phone with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re entering the Agos Hollow with him today, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” Leicaen answered truthfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Try not to exert yourself. Afterwards, write a detailed report on Ye Qingfeng’s performance and abilities inside the Hollow—no less than a thousand words.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leicaen, rarely showing discomfort, subtly grimaced but agreed without comment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he appeared refined and scholarly, this sort of task was not his strength—usually, he left it to Lina to handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was better at solving people than solving problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ugh... at thirty years old, still writing paper reports...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll wait for your report.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he finished speaking than, after roughly three or four seconds, the mayor hung up the call himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leicaen put away his phone, gripped the nearby handrail, his eyes deep as he gazed at the distant anomalous spherical space, a strange feeling rising within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d already sold out Ye Qingfeng—there was a touch of guilt, but not much, just like before...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might owe him something, yet he didn’t believe he was wrong; perhaps it was just differing positions, or perhaps...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the call, roughly half an hour passed before Ye Qingfeng arrived with Ies, making a dazzling entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dressed in a tailored white suit, whether deliberately chosen or not, he exuded less eccentricity and revealed an air of refined gentleness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A warm smile on his lips, standing beside Leicaen, creating a stark contrast—one dignified and solemn, the other kind and approachable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only drawback... Leicaen’s nearly two-meter height and muscular limbs made Ye Qingfeng appear slender and frail from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ies jumped from his arms, scampering off on short legs to inspect closely; from the video store, Ling emitted a string of giggles, muttering Leicaen and Ye Qingfeng’s names over and over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing Ling’s strange behavior, Zhe felt his scalp prickle and a chill run down his spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Ling’s wild fantasies, Ailian and the others, upon seeing Ye Qingfeng’s attire, brightened instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little person inside their hearts screamed hysterically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leicaen and Ye Qingfeng were entirely different in style; the comparison held little real meaning, since one was always like this, while the other was trying it for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In pure visual impact, Ye Qingfeng won decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, he was still young, his body not yet fully formed, still growing—whether due to improved nutrition’s accumulated effect or the effects of a physique-enhancing potion, it was unclear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His usual attire was mostly casual; unlike a suit, which accentuates physique and aura, this look made him appear more handsome and composed, instantly captivating Ailian and Lina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their hearts fluttered, cheeks flushed faintly red, their minds conjuring visions of attending various events alongside Ye Qingfeng in his suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weddings, banquets~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dreaming of a beautiful future, they hoped for more time with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Ailian, Ye Qingfeng in a suit carried an added air of maturity that made him irresistible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina, conversely, felt none of the “old cow eating tender grass” sensation; to those who knew her well, the two looked perfectly matched together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ding! Lina’s affection increased: 10%】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Current affection: 70%】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelin blinked her eyes cutely, simply thinking Ye Qingfeng looked handsome in this outfit, with no messy thoughts in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she had to say something, she hoped Young Master Ye Qingfeng would take a photo with her in this look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would people mistake them for siblings?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can we leave now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng, feeling awkward under their stares, asked hastily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, yes, yes!” Ling wiped the drool from her lips, “Let’s get going!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The support mission is up to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leicaen looked at Lina and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kelin will do her best!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelin clenched her fists, giving a motivational gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leicaen nodded approvingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leave it to us. Compared to us, you and Young Master Ye Qingfeng should be more careful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leicaen nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leicaen! Be careful!” Ailian called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ailian? Moved! (～￣▽￣)～\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leicaen’s eyes grew moist; he quickly turned away and waved his hand, but had barely taken two steps when Ailian’s voice rang out again behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve got thick skin—don’t let Qingfeng get hurt!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bastard! Give back my moment of emotion!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group followed Ies’s guidance straight toward Renn’s destination. Along the way, Ye Qingfeng no longer held back, easily eliminating every enemy they encountered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the enemies’ belongings, they found the official airship schedule and flight routes, even the hardware blueprints for the integrated control system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same moment, Ies’s facial screen changed, displaying a phone icon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, a call from Billy is incoming. Transferring now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice of Ixian, emotionless and mature, sounded out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello? Is that the shopkeeper?” Billy cried anxiously: “Something terrible’s happened on the airship!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Billy, calm down. What happened to the airship?” Ling asked softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Billy, sweat beading on his forehead, explained slowly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A few minutes ago, Perman said he wanted to check the suit inside the box, so the guard agreed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But as soon as the box opened, a cloud of smoke burst out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then everyone on board—including the pilot—passed out! I only avoided it because the intake system malfunctioned...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Then who’s flying the airship now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The airship is currently in auto-cruise mode—it won’t crash for now.” Billy stared at the flight map. “But shopkeeper, I noticed something—the scheduled flight path has been altered!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1122,"2026-06-20T20:13:18.411Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","c60e85e5df668b3ede0cdbec6690e249de063a4632c4b3e800b1e9964d8e33fa","love-life-begins-in-new-eliad-chapter-264","love-life-begins-in-new-eliad-chapter-262",280,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flove-life-begins-in-new-eliad-cover.jpg"]
