"Ling, rest for a while," Yuan picked up the cup and poured water for Ling. As he saw Ling just drinking without raising his head, he sighed helplessly.
Lately, he has never played a game again. Liam was busy in the herb lab every day. In addition there was Su Yuri there, he would be more and more busy making the potions that Ling ordered.
"Why?" Ling stood up and picked up the document he had just printed. Hearing his question, Yuan glanced at him. Although his face looks very tired, but he is still handsome as usual.
"Aren't you going to see Miss Zhuo? Leave these tasks to me" Yuan said.
"You? No, Young Master Qi. Do you know what this is?" Ling smiled looking at Yuan. He pointed to a design on the computer.
Yuan replied, "Wen Ai will ...."
Before he could finish his sentence, he only remembered that Su Wen Ai was not here because she had gone with A Shui to complete the mission.
"Alright, just continue with your activities. I'll be done soon" Ling said. He re-engaged with his computer and focused on its design.
Yuan was agitated, but he did not want to disturb Ling. He just sat quietly on the chair and watched Ling. As he saw Bo Jie enter, he complained to her, "Uncle Bo, am I really that useless?"
"Huh?" Bo Jie was confused.
"Ling and the others have great skills, except for me. I couldn't help them," Yuan lowered his head and sighed.
The more Yuan thought about it, the more he felt he was extremely useless. In the past, he had not realized that Ling, Liam, and Su Wen Ai were always with him. When he lost or was in trouble, he always asked Su Wen Ai and Ling for help to solve his problems. However, as the three people were very busy these days, Ling gave the task to everyone except him. He usually asked Su Wen Ai for help more often to solve the problems at hand. When they were no longer by her side, she felt like she was truly a useless person.
Yuan stood up, "I'm so useless. Uncle Bo, I'll just go to the training room. I can't let myself get left behind with them."
He just left without giving Bo Jie a chance to speak.
Bo Jie and the fifth Captain were dumbfounded.
"Manager, did Young Master Qi misunderstand himself?" The fifth captain looked at Bo Jie confused.
A level six cultivator said that he was useless? Then, those who are under it, are they trash?
Since earlier, Bo Jie also wanted to answer Yuan if he really could not see himself. However, Yuan had already left before he could say that.
Bo Jie suddenly recalled Ling's words. He looked at the fifth Captain seriously and said, "The one I fear the most is not someone more handsome or prettier than you, but a person who is more handsome or beautiful than you and also more hardworking."
Bo Jie now knew the reason Yuan said that. Maybe Ling was comfortable just being friends with him. However, at the same time, Yuan also felt a little depressed.

After Ling finished his work, he went to meet Zhuo Xia. He felt guilty because he was too busy these two days.
Right now, Zhuo Xia was in a hotel, but Ling did not know who he was meeting with.
When Zhuo Ai saw Ling, he immediately pulled out his phone to tell Zhuo Xia if Ling was here. However, Ling raised his hand and stopped him.
"It's okay, I'll wait" Ling said. He leaned against the wall near the hotel door and was lost in thought. He thought about his recent problems.
Seeing Ling like this, Zhuo Ai did not question the reason. However, just as he wanted to tell Ling about the recent events, he saw Ling lowered his head. He also chose not to talk.

Upstairs, in a room.
Right now Zhuo Xia was meeting Lord Shangxuan.
"I never thought I'd see you again. I thought you would never come back again," said Mr. Shangxuan looking at the flat-faced Zhuo Xia. He sighed.
"I think so too. When are you going to get out of here?" asked Zhuo Xia. With his pitch-black eyes, he looked at Master Shangxuan. Anyone who heard his tone so cold would be afraid.
"There are still some talented students I have to choose from. It seems like I will be leaving for another 10 days after everything is done," replied Mr. Shangxuan with a smile. He did not care about Zhuo Xia's grim expression.
"I know he went to see you. I hope, you know the limit for these 10 days," Zhuo Xia knocked on the table.
Master Shangxuan still kept smiling as if he did not hear the threatening tone in Zhuo Xia's words. He said, "Can I know? The person you were referring to should be Young Master Chen, right?"
Zhuo Xia glanced out the window and replied coldly, "You don't need to think about this."
It stands.
Before he left, Mr. Shangxuan handed him a bottle of potion, "This is for you. That's enough for a year."
Seeing Zhuo Xia leave, Master Shangxuan was deep in thought. Then, he chuckled, "At first I didn't want to make a fuss about this, but that young man looks more attractive than you. I can't even resist it. Hm. .. a pair of interesting people."

Ling was still leaning against the wall thinking about the matter of the northern region. As soon as he started thinking, he couldn't stop. He sank so deep in his mind that he didn't realize someone was grabbing his hand.
He reflexively wanted to block that hand. However, a familiar voice suddenly sounded, "Look who I am first."
Ling pulled his hand back and raised his head to look at that familiar face. The man did not button his jacket, but the blouse he was wearing was draped to the neck. The aura of the nobility naturally radiated from his body.
"Xia" said Ling.
Zhuo Xia just looked at him and did not say anything. He glanced at Zhuo Ai, "Give him the address."
Zhuo Ai understood Zhuo Xia's intent. He immediately gave me the address.
Although Ling did not know the address, but he knew that the place was most famous abroad. The distance is not far either. You only need to drive a few minutes to get there.
When they arrived, Ling realized something was wrong. The people here .. seem to be less than before. He did not know if it was just his feelings or because he was too busy lately so did not know the outside world.
"Young Master?" as Ling was thinking, an unfamiliar voice sounded from behind.
"I didn't think we'd be reunited by fate. Do you want me to read your fate today?" ask the guy.
Ling turned around and looked towards the back. The old man had white hair, but his face was still young. Ling could recognize him. He has a photographic memory.
"I see the situation of the Young Master is not very peaceful lately. I think it's destiny. I'll read your luck for free. How's it?" said the old man with a smile.
Ling glanced at him, "I ...."
"Ling," as Ling wanted to speak, Zhuo Xia slightly looked up and looked at him. Her eyes look so beautiful.
"There's a milk teahouse up ahead. Do you want a drink?" asked Zhuo Xia gently.
Ling looked at the tavern that Zhuo Xia was referring to. It was indeed the brand of milk tea that he often drank. Since he was a milk tea addict, he was a little impatient to try it.
"buy. I will wait for you here," Zhuo Xia said stroking his hand.
He was not unaware of Zhuo Xia's change in expression. However, he did not want to dispute it. After all, he had not drank milk tea for a long time.
"Do you want to too?" ask Ling before leaving.
"Yes, just the originals," Zhuo Xia replied.
Ling nodded and left.
Zhuo Xia stood there and smiled looking at his departure. As Ling began to disappear from his sight, his smile also gradually faded. He turned around and looked at the old man in front of him, "Master."
Although the tone is cold, but if someone listens to it carefully, it will sound a little respect.
"I always wonder why there are people I can't read. Turns out it was you. I haven't seen you again in years. Your development surprised me," said the old man not to think Zhuo Xia's attitude was strange.
Zhuo Xia's expression softened.
"But sometimes, it's better to believe in destiny. Look atyou. You have tried many times, but still failed. After being reincarnated again and again for so long, it seems like it is time to give up" the old man said.
Zhuo Xia looked at the old man and chuckled, "Death? How can I agree with that? Precisely because I can't accept it, I have to reject it. I'm not like you."
The old man froze.
They both stayed quiet for quite a while.
The people passing by all avoided them.
As the old man saw Ling had already walked back, he glanced at Zhuo Xia, "He used the entire Dynasty to replace you. If he knew you were like this, he'd instantly want to turn to ashes on the spot."
"You must go," Zhuo Xia said.
The old man glanced at him and left without saying anything more.
