Chapter 551 - 545: Miss Ni's Invitation

Mu Weishuang is only a few years old? She's already a Grandmaster!

The shock from this discovery is even more terrifying than recognizing Mu Weishuang's identity earlier!

"Don't worry, since you brothers have such deep feelings, I'll send you down to meet him," Mu Weishuang said without any nonsense, picking up a dead branch from the ground and flicking it forward!

"Whoosh!"

The dead branch shot into Yuan Zhenlei's forehead like a bullet!

The next second.

Yuan Zhenlei's eyes widened, and the life in his eyes gradually faded!

Mu Weishuang raised her head, glanced at Nan Xuan hiding behind Li Chuan, and Qingyi standing at the entrance of the hall with a sword, showing a sarcastic expression: "Sect Leader, how dare you attack someone from our sect, isn't that a bit too much?"

Li Chuan looked dissatisfied: "What are you saying! I'm just cultivating here! Don't get me wrong!"

Mu Weishuang: "Alright, alright! Whatever you say, you're the Sect Leader!"

Li Chuan was speechless: "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute! Hurry up and throw this guy into the sea to feed the sharks, so as to not pollute the sect's place of meditation."

Mu Weishuang casually grabbed one of Yuan Zhenlei's legs and was about to leave, but after taking a few steps, she stopped, turned her head, and said: "The matter with Ni Yongruo is pretty much the same as what we investigated earlier, and in three days, it's her engagement day with Zhao Siyuan."

Li Chuan frowned, he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Moreover, he didn't expect Ni Yongruo to agree, which made him feel a bit unbelievable.

Thinking about it, he simply picked up his phone and called Huo Xiuxiu.

Logically, Huo Xiuxiu should know the truth.

But when the call connected and he mentioned the matter, Huo Xiuxiu's attitude was very unusual: "I didn't expect you to know about this too, but you can't interfere with this matter, it's the Ni Family's business. Li Chuan, Ruo's marriage is unusual, so don't get involved!"

After saying this, Huo Xiuxiu directly hung up the phone.

While Li Chuan was still dumbfounded, Nan Xuan suddenly said next to him: "Uncle, your phone is ringing again."

"Uh..."

Li Chuan snapped back to reality, picked up the phone, and saw that it was none other than Ni Yongruo calling.

Last time when he met Ni Yongruo, they exchanged phone numbers.

Seeing Ni Yongruo's call now, Li Chuan felt very complicated.

He never expected that there would be a day when Ni Yongruo would call him proactively.

It felt like witnessing the changes of time.

Although he was very surprised, Li Chuan still answered the call, and immediately Ni Yongruo's familiar, slightly cold voice resonated through the phone: "I've arrived in Wulin County, do you have time to meet?"

Li Chuan smiled and said: "Of course, send me your location and I'll come over."

Ni Yongruo: "I'm at the Starbucks in Wanda Plaza."

"Alright, wait for me there."

Thirty minutes later.

Li Chuan arrived at Starbucks, and in front of Ni Yongruo, there was a cup of coffee. She sat there lost in thought, looking a world apart from the composed and commanding figure she seemed before.

The previous Ni Yongruo always loved to have a lollipop in hand.

But now, that little girl's lollipop was gone, disappeared.

Today's Ni Yongruo was wearing a beige trench coat, her long hair tied back into a simple ponytail, and her face bore no makeup, yet exuded a natural beauty.

Li Chuan walked over, sat in front of Ni Yongruo, and said with a grin: "What made you think of coming to find me? This isn't like you."

Upon seeing Li Chuan, a wry smile appeared on Ni Yongruo's face: "After thinking it over, it seems that in my life, you're the only friend I have. Can I consider you a friend?"

Li Chuan nodded seriously, "Of course, we go way back."

Li Chuan took out a Face Stabilizing Pill.

He sent one to Huo Xiuxiu, but not to Ni Yongruo because he didn't know where she was.

Although Ni Yongruo still wasn't his woman, after all this time of interactions, she had become a significant girl in his life.

When he was making the Face Stabilizing Pills, he had counted her share as well.

Ni Yongruo picked up the Pill and sniffed lightly, instantly feeling refreshed and couldn't help but be curious: "It smells pretty nice, what is it?"

"An Immortal Pill, the same as Chang'e takes, once you've eaten it, you'll never age, even at a hundred years old, you'll still look like this, it's better than all beauty products," Li Chuan said with a slight smile, sipping Ni Yongruo's coffee.

Because, from returning to Qingfeng Temple to leaving the mountain, he hadn't had a single sip of water.

Ni Yongruo looked incredulous: "So amazing? I find it hard to believe."

Li Chuan shrugged, "We've known each other for so long and you still doubt my medical skills, truly disheartening."

Ni Yongruo bursted into laughter, casually popped the pill into her mouth while saying: "I'm not doubting, just that it's shocking. I didn't expect your medical skills to be this advanced. Have you given one to my aunt?"

"Of course," Li Chuan replied, "but did you just invite me out to have coffee?"

Ni Yongruo: "I only ever drink coffee wherever I go. Wulin County, this is my second visit, and I don't know any good places to eat; would you take me out to eat?"

Li Chuan casually put down the coffee he'd finished and smiled, "Want to eat something good? That's simple, let's go!"

"Lead the way," Ni Yongruo then stood up and followed Li Chuan outside. As they exited the Starbucks, Ni Yongruo hesitated for a moment, then reached out to link arms with Li Chuan.

What surprised Li Chuan was that she not only linked her arm with his, but held it very tightly, as if afraid he would escape.

Clearly, Ni Yongruo had something on her mind, but since she hadn't mentioned it, he didn't ask.

After all, the current atmosphere between them was relaxed.

Then, driving Jing Tian's car, the two of them arrived at a restaurant in Wulin County called Eight Directions Seafood City.

Wulin County is famous for its seafood.

Li Chuan had not been to Eight Directions Seafood City before, but he had seen it on Douyin. It's a newly opened seafood restaurant with heavy investments by the owner, featuring many seafood items from the deep sea, sourced from all over the world.

Seeing the grotesque-looking seafood in the tanks, Ni Yongruo couldn't help but say: "The seafood here is so expensive, it's costlier than back in Jiangzhou City. Shouldn't we find another place to eat?"

Although Ni Yongruo is a young lady, she isn't accustomed to extravagant dining.
