Chapter 364: The Dragon King’s Temple Washed Away by the Great Flood

Wang Keai stared at the silver-ranked, full star 【Refinement Liquid】, stunned in place.

This was the resource card her father had commissioned someone to obtain from the black market auction.

Her father’s intention was simple: he hoped she could use this opportunity to break through to the gold level.

However, when Wang Keai saw this card, she could roughly guess who the seller might be.

Standing in Xu Yourong’s room, she held the card and asked, “Yourong, this is your boss’s card, isn’t it?”

Xu Yourong’s boss was Luo Sheng.

Now, Xu Yourong, like Xu Xiaoqin, referred to Luo Sheng as “boss” in front of others.

Xu Yourong’s expression was peculiar at this moment, but she didn’t answer, as she didn’t know how Wang Keai had obtained this card.

Then she heard Wang Keai continue: “My father bought this at a black market auction, I heard it cost over 2,000 card coins.”

After hearing this, Xu Yourong quietly said: “It’s really a case of the great flood washing away the Dragon King’s temple.”

She then fell silent and continued to focus on her meditation.

At this moment, with the aid of 【Spiritual Surge】, she had just broken through to gold 2-star. The speed of her level increase was extremely fast, so she needed to stabilize properly.

Seeing that Xu Yourong was no longer answering her questions, Wang Keai left the room.

She then saw Luo Sheng, who had just returned home not long ago.

She showed him the card she had just received.

Luo Sheng’s expression was equally peculiar, somewhat incredulous. Finally, pretending to know nothing, he prepared to escape.

Wang Keai questioned, “Luo Sheng, are you selling cards on the black market?”

“Not really?”

Luo Sheng inwardly sighed with resignation. This card had circulated and ended up in the hands of someone he knew well.

Of course, Luo Sheng would never consider returning the money. Who would give back money that’s already in hand?

So Luo Sheng pretended to take the card and examine it carefully, then handed it back to her, saying, “This is a good card. Use it well, and you should be able to break through to the gold level.”

After saying this, Luo Sheng turned to leave.

Wang Keai grabbed his clothes, “Stop right there. I’ve only ever seen this card with you. No one else could possibly have it.”

“Maybe it’s from the Alliance Envoy? After all, my cards were given by her too.”

“But she has no reason to sell this card. She doesn’t lack money. Besides, a gold-level Enhancer appeared in the black market before, and now this resource card shows up. It’s hard not to suspect you, you naughty Luo Sheng,” Wang Keai said coquettishly.

Luo Sheng laughed awkwardly, “There are so many gold-level Enhancers in Pingcheng. One more or less of me doesn’t make a difference. Perhaps that person really wasn’t me.”

“But you’ve been frequenting the black market recently.”

Wang Keai inquired again.

Then she further questioned: “You created this card, didn’t you?”

Luo Sheng immediately shook his head: “What are you talking about? I’m not that skilled to create such a resource card. I think someone must be selling the Alliance Envoy’s cards.”

Anyway, Luo Sheng would never admit it.

Just then.

His phone rang. He opened it to find it was a call from Yuchi Xueyao.

Luo Sheng immediately showed Wang Keai the Alliance Envoy’s phone number, then left without looking back to answer the call.

The moment he answered the phone, Luo Sheng suddenly sighed with relief: “You’re really a timely rain.”

Yuchi Xueyao looked puzzled, “What do you mean?”

“Nothing, I just encountered some issues earlier. Your call came just in time for me to easily escape,” Luo Sheng explained briefly, then asked, “Teacher, what can I do for you?”

“I’m leaving tomorrow, so get your things ready quickly,” Yuchi Xueyao said casually.

“So soon?”

“Some things have happened in Yuncheng, and there are rumors of Evil Card Masters being spotted. I need to go back and check,” Yuchi Xueyao said briefly.

Of course, she didn’t go into much detail.

“Alright, no problem,” Luo Sheng nodded, then shamelessly added, “By the way, Teacher, I need to bring two more people. Is that okay?”

“Hmm, as you wish.”

With that, Yuchi Xueyao hung up the phone.

She had matters to attend to.

“Seems like the situation in Yuncheng is not small,” Luo Sheng muttered. The original plan was to leave a week later, but now it had been moved up by several days.

Luo Sheng then opened the door to Xu Yourong’s room.

He informed her about leaving this place and asked if she had any valuable or personal items that could be stored in his Azure Feather Wood Shift.

Xu Yourong said, “I don’t have any valuable items here. I can pack everything in half a day.”

She had become Luo Sheng’s subordinate after being chased and nearly killed, so she didn’t have much luggage to begin with, and her clothes were pitifully few.

In short, she didn’t have many things.

“Then let’s call Xu Xiaoqin,” Luo Sheng instructed.

He returned to his own room and dismantled the enhancement equipment, putting it into Dongfang Muqing’s Azure Feather Wood Shift.

Wang Keai watched Luo Sheng busying himself.

Feeling a bit unhappy, she asked, “Are you leaving so soon?”

Luo Sheng nodded: “I’m leaving tomorrow. Teacher has some business to attend to, and I’ll probably need to help later.”

“Oh.” Wang Keai could only respond softly. After all, whether in status or strength, Yuchi Xueyao was far above her.

So, Luo Sheng indeed had no reason to refuse.

Luo Sheng comforted her, “Don’t worry, we’ll see each other soon. There’s still over a month until school starts. I’ll come find you then.”

“Mm, it’s a promise then.” Wang Keai looked at him intently and extended her pinky finger. “Pinky swear!”

Luo Sheng laughed helplessly, “Are you still a child?”

Nevertheless, he extended his hand without hesitation and hooked his pinky with her soft one. “Pinky swear.”

Wang Keai suddenly kissed him on the cheek.

“Hmph! Don’t mess around while I’m not here.”

Luo Sheng helplessly patted her head, then said, “See you in Yuncheng.”

After saying this, he escorted Wang Keai back.

He also returned all the commission cards Wang Keai had given him before.

Because Luo Sheng was preparing to move, he had no time to take care of Wang Keai, so it was more appropriate to send her home.

After Wang Keai returned home.

Holding the 【Refinement Liquid】 her father had bought from the black market, she didn’t know how to bring it up.

At this time, Wang Meili appeared beside her and teased, “Oh my, little Keai, did you enjoy staying at your little man’s place?”

“He’s not a little man!” Wang Keai retorted righteously.

Wang Meili looked at her with a smile, “Then tell me, what’s big about him? That?”

Wang Keai initially wanted to refute, but the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. “Wang Meili, why are you always so improper?”

“I’m just worried he might corrupt you,” Wang Meili said, hugging Keai’s waist and rubbing her fair cheek against Keai’s face.

Like someone petting a cat.

Wang Keai felt extremely frustrated.

Her sister was really annoying, always liking to tease her.

“Go away, you’re such a big person now, how can you still be so childish?!”

At this moment, Wang Bin also returned from outside. Seeing his eldest daughter continuously teasing his younger daughter, he shook his head helplessly and then spoke, “Alright, stop bullying your sister.”

“This isn’t bullying, it’s doting,” Wang Meili said, reluctantly letting go of her hands.

Wang Bin then sat on the sofa. A servant brought him a newspaper and coffee.

While reading the newspaper and drinking coffee, he said without looking back, “Don’t keep running to his place recently. You need to focus on improving your level.”

Wang Bin was warning Wang Keai not to forget about improving her strength.

Of course, he was also telling her to stay away from Luo Sheng.

He continued, “Use that card well, otherwise you won’t live up to the money spent.”

Thinking of the 2,000-plus card coins for that card, Wang Bin felt a bit of heartache, but when he thought of his lovely daughter, he felt it was worth it again.

Wang Keai remained silent for a while, “Father, why did you spend so much money?”

“It’s for your own good. No amount of money is too much,” Wang Bin said casually. Although it hurt, he still maintained a calm exterior.

Wang Keai walked directly in front of him.

She wanted to speak but didn’t know where to start.

Seeing her hesitant manner, Wang Bin asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I don’t know how to say this. Never mind, since Father has given me this card, let me give you a card in return.”

“Oh? What kind of card can you give to your father?” Wang Bin laughed.

Wang Keai silently took out the gold-level 【Refinement Liquid】 and gently placed it in her father’s hand.

Wang Bin: “…”
