After walking a distance, Liu Manyun asked Liu Mosheng, puzzled:

"Brother, who was that guy just now? He seemed to know Mom!"

Liu Mosheng: "He might be someone my mother knew, but we don't need to pay attention to him. He's not a good person."

Liu Manyun nodded: "Oh, I understand."

Over the years, she had gotten used to not asking questions she shouldn't ask. If Liu Mosheng didn't want to talk about it, then he couldn't talk about it, so she wasn't curious.

"Didn't I tell you not to go to the Investigation Bureau? Why did you barge in today?" Liu Mosheng asked, frowning.

Liu Manyun lowered her head and murmured:

"Brother, I was wrong! My idol didn't bring an umbrella today, and when I saw it was raining, I took an umbrella to pick her up."

Liu Mosheng: "She's a grown woman, and you're not the only one who cares about her. Why do you need to bring her an umbrella?"

Liu Manyun: "When someone gives a gift, it's their sentiment; when I give one, it's my sentiment. How can these be confused?"

"I don't have much time left. If I don't see her soon, I'll miss my chance."

Upon hearing Liu Manyun's words, Liu Mosheng felt a sharp pain in his heart.

He quickly hugged Liu Manyun, his eyes reddening:

"Yunyun, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have yelled at you!"

Liu Manyun smiled and said, "It's okay. I had a great day. I visited my idol's house and even stayed for dinner!"

"My idol invited me to travel abroad with her during the May Day holiday, but those days happened to coincide with the Tribulation, so I had to go back to Tianji Sect and couldn't go."

Liu Manyun sighed in disappointment.

Liu Mosheng looked at her with heartache: "I'm sorry! Yunyun, it's my fault for being useless and unable to protect you."

Liu Manyun smiled and shook her head:

"No, brother, you're already amazing."

"This is my destiny, I can't escape it."

Liu Manyun took a deep breath and tried her best to smile:

"Now I treat every day like a year. If I do the math, I might live for hundreds of years!"

The more Liu Manyun laughed, the more heartbroken Liu Mosheng became, but he couldn't change anything, so he could only try his best to make Liu Manyun happy.

He handed a bottle of medicine to Liu Manyun:

"Take this, and you won't need to go back to Tianji Sect for May Day. I'll help you get your passport later, and you can go on a trip with Lu Qing."

Liu Manyun was overjoyed:

"Brother, you're not lying to me, are you? If I take this medicine, I won't have to go back to the Heavenly Mystery Sect to undergo tribulation?"

Liu Mosheng nodded: "This medicine can temporarily suppress the poison in your body. There are six pills in total, and it will only last for six days. After six days, you must return to Tianji Sect to undergo the tribulation, otherwise there will be danger, understand?"

Liu Manyun nodded repeatedly: "I understand, thank you, brother!"

"Great! I can go on a trip with my idol!"

Liu Manyun happily ran back to her dormitory to pack her things.

Over here, Lu Qing worked for more than an hour and finally finished calculating the last set of data for the experiment.

"There's only one last step left: drawing the diagram. I estimate it should be finished before May Day."

Lu Qing stood up, stretched, and then was picked up in a horizontal embrace the next second.

"You're done with your work, now it's my turn."

Gu Xicheng carried Lu Qing and strode into the bathroom.

...

The May Day holiday is fast approaching, and those who didn't have classes the day before have already left school.

After finishing their last class, Lu Qing and the others all went back to their dormitories to pack their things.

Besides Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng, the group traveling abroad together included Gu Fei, Ruan Yinchen, and Liu Manyun, making a total of five people.

Everyone else went back to their own homes and to their own mothers.

After telling her parents and brothers at home, Lu Qing went to the airport with Gu Xicheng.

She hadn't prepared anything, only bringing her personal belongings. Gu Xicheng had already sent the other daily necessities over for the housekeeper to pack for them.

Sitting on the private jet, Liu Manyun couldn't help but sigh, "It's so good to be rich!"

"No wonder rich people love to travel. They don't have to carry suitcases, rush to catch trains, or worry about not having enough money. I'd be willing to travel like that for the rest of my life!"

Lu Qing found Liu Manyun's words somewhat familiar.

It seems she thought the same way when she first went out with Gu Xicheng, but now she seems to have gotten used to it.

"Do you have water?" Liu Manyun asked, pulling the flight attendant aside.

The flight attendant smiled and nodded: "Yes, we do. Would you like cold, warm, or hot water?"

Liu Manyun: "Warm water, please."

"Okay." The flight attendant quickly brought her a cup of hot water.

Liu Manyun took the warm water, poured out a pill from the bottle Liu Mosheng had given her, put it in her mouth, and then quickly swallowed it with water.

Lu Qing was sitting in front of Liu Manyun. After smelling the medicine, she turned her head to look at her.

Are you taking medicine? Are you sick?

Liu Manyun quickly put the medicine bottle away: "I'm not sick. This is to replenish my qi and blood. My brother gave it to me."

"You have poor blood and qi? I really can't tell!"

Lu Qing felt that Liu Manyun's energy was enough to exhaust an ox.

"This just proves that the tonic is effective!" Liu Manyun said with a smile.

Lu Qing turned around and didn't say anything more.

Liu Manyun's smile slowly faded, replaced by a hint of sadness.

The plane flew for more than three hours before landing, and as soon as they got off the plane, a professional guide came to take them to the villa they had booked.

The local guide was a young mixed-race man named Eric, who spoke fluent Chinese.

“Mr. Gu, we have arrived at your villa. You must be tired after getting off the plane. Would you like to rest?” Eric asked.

Gu Xicheng looked at the others:

"It's not dark here yet. Do you need to rest and adjust to the time difference? Should we go sightseeing tomorrow or head out to the attractions now?"

"We slept for a while on the plane, so we're not too tired. But it's too rushed to go to the tourist attractions now. We can wander around the area first," Gu Fei said.

Ruan Yinchen: "Actually, we can do it ourselves. Tomorrow we'll head to the scenic spot and Eric will take us there."

Gu Xicheng nodded slightly: "Alright then."

"Eric, let's play around nearby for now, and you can come over tomorrow!"

Eric nodded: "Okay, Mr. Gu, have fun!"

Just as he reached the door, Eric suddenly stopped as if he had thought of something, and turned back to remind everyone:

"I forgot to tell you, never go to that house in the back after dark. There was a devil girl there who was said to kill people."

"Devil Girl???"

Everyone's curiosity was piqued.

"Eric, what's the story of the devil girl? Tell us about it!" Lu Qing became interested.

Eric found it strange that these people were not only not afraid of the devil girl, but were even a little excited about it.

"The devil girl is one of the twelve undead from hell in legend. She disguises herself as an injured little girl to lure kind people to rescue her, and then takes the opportunity to cut off their heads to make necklaces."

“There used to be a family of four living in that house, but they all had their heads cut off because they saved the devil girl. That happened last year.”

Eric's words sounded terrifying, but for Lu Qing and his group, who were used to all sorts of things, it was nothing.
