At this time, Xiao Zechuan had already helped Pei Wusu, who had fallen behind the box door, up.

Chen Yan said to Xiao Zechuan, "There's a soft couch over there. Help him sleep there."

The best private rooms are usually furnished with soft couches and separated from the dining table by a screen.

"Okay." Xiao Zechuan responded and helped Pei Wusu onto the couch.

Xiao Zechuan came out from behind the screen. He first glanced at Zhuge Weiran with a dark look in his eyes, and then chose to send a message to Chen Yan: "He hasn't been quite right since yesterday."

After being together day and night for so long, they could more or less notice Pei Wusu's emotional changes.

Chen Yan had already vaguely guessed the truth, but she couldn't reveal Pei Wusu's identity. She raised her head slightly, met Xiao Zechuan's inquiring gaze, and replied in a voice transmission: "Everyone has secrets, right?"

Xiao Zechuan choked slightly when he heard this, and he sat down next to Shen Yan again.

He looked at her sideways and said, "It seems like I have no secrets in front of you."

The people he once wanted to protect have left, and the things he once pursued have also changed. He hopes to experience more things and go to more places with them.

His sister once said to him: Go see a wider world for her.

Chen Yan transmitted a message: "Having no secrets isn't necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes secrets are too heavy and can be suffocating."

Xiao Zechuan laughed and sighed slightly: "Chen Yan, you are a few years younger than me, but you think more clearly than me. You are a bit like the legendary old monster who has taken over the body of a young girl."

Hearing the last sentence, Chen Yan raised her eyes and glanced at him.

"Unfortunately, I'm not an old monster."

At this time, Zhuge Weiran supported Zhuge Youlin and returned to the dinner table, and Jiang Xianyue also came back.

Zhuge Youlin's right hand was injured, so he could only use his left hand to pick up food. He said indignantly: "If Pei Wusu wakes up, I will make him pay for it!"

Jiang Xianyue retorted, "You went over there on your own, who can you blame?"

As Zhuge Youlin spoke, a feeling of grievance welled up in her heart. "Auntie, I was just concerned about him! Who knew that he would injure my hand with just a backhand?"

Chen Yan smiled: "Eat some pork elbow, it will replenish the body."

Zhuge Youlin glared at Chen Yan: "Chen Yan, you are not allowed to gloat over other people's misfortunes."

After saying that, Zhuge Youlin stretched out his left hand, picked up the pork elbow on the plate, and started to bite it in big mouthfuls. It was so delicious that it made people dizzy.

"tasty!"

Jiang Xianyue said disdainfully, "Your table manners are terrible. If Wen Yuchu were here, he would definitely stay away from you."

Zhuge Weiran looked at Chen Yan.

Chen Yan noticed his gaze and looked at him, "What's wrong?"

Zhuge Weiran hesitated to speak, but he was obviously hesitant, but he finally asked, "Miss Shen, have you heard about what happened to the Shen family in Nanxiao Kingdom a few months ago?"

Hearing the name 'Nanxiao Kingdom's Shen Family' again after such a long time, she felt as if she were in another world. She shook her head and said, "No."

Zhuge Weiran said, "A few months ago, the Heart-Seeking Palace sent people to surround the Shen family of Nanxiao Kingdom. They probably intended to kill or capture the Shen family as revenge or to threaten you. However, unexpectedly, a powerful figure blocked the Heart-Seeking Palace's attack and killed all the people sent by the Heart-Seeking Palace, leaving only one person alive to report back."

Chen Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, "Who is that powerful figure?"

"I'm not quite sure either." Zhuge Weiran shook his head, thinking of something, and immediately reminded Chen Yan: "Because of the appearance of that important figure, the Shen family of Nanxiao Kingdom was able to survive. It was also because of that incident that the Shen family learned about your outstanding performance at the Western Region Academy and that you had offended forces such as the Palace of Questioning Heart. They denied severing ties with you and claimed that you would always be the Second Miss of their Shen family."

"You are so shameless." Chen Yan sneered with a sarcastic look in his eyes.

Xiao Zechuan, Jiang Xianyue, and Zhuge Youlin looked at Chen Yan with a little surprise. They rarely saw Chen Yan express his emotions so openly.

Xiao Zechuan frowned: "Did the Shen family mistreat you?"

Jiang Xianyue said angrily, "The Shen family always looked down on our Yanyan, and now that they see our Yanyan has become successful, they shamelessly come to us to try to get close to her! It's disgusting!"

Zhuge Youlin immediately stood up, holding the big pork elbow in one hand, and said excitedly.

"Let's go and kill them!"

"Sit down." Chen Yan glanced at Zhuge Youlin indifferently.

Zhuge Youlin immediately lost interest. He sat back and took a bite of the fragrant pork elbow. As he chewed, his voice became unclear. "Since they bullied you, we'll help you vent your anger! Isn't that good?"

Chen Yan didn't answer Zhuge Youlin's question, but looked at Zhuge Weiran and asked, "Did they use my name to do anything?"

Zhuge Weiran said, "I haven't heard of that, but I heard that many forces, after learning that you are the daughter of the Shen family and that there is a mysterious and powerful figure protecting the Shen family, have taken the initiative to establish ties with the Shen family. As a result, the Shen family's prestige has risen significantly in the past few months."

Chen Yan's face was slightly cold, and he sneered: "The higher you stand, the harder you fall."

Jiang Xianyue and the others understood what Chen Yan said.

Chen Yan looked at Zhuge Weiran and said, "I don't have time to go to the Shen family in Nanxiao Kingdom to deal with this matter now. I will go back when I have time. Master Zhuge, please help me keep an eye on the Shen family's movements in Nanxiao Kingdom when you are free."

"Okay." Zhuge Weiran chuckled.

"Thanks."

"You are welcome."

Chen Yan smiled at Zhuge Weiran, then turned her head to look at Jiang Xianyue, "Yueyue, has your family contacted you?"

Jiang Xianyue paused, raised her head, and nodded. "I sent a message to my father yesterday and told him that I would be heading to the Central Region. He was very supportive."

Chen Yan looked at her.

Then, she picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs with her chopsticks and placed it in Jiang Xianyue's bowl. "Eat some."

Jiang Xianyue smiled, nodded, and then took a bite of the sweet and sour spareribs. The sour and sweet taste, accompanied by the tender taste of meat, was indeed delicious.

In the afternoon, they had already left the Yuelan Restaurant.

Pei Wu Su hasn't woken up yet.

So, he was carried on Xiao Zechuan's back.

The group returned to the Western Region College.

Pei Wusu's cheeks flushed, and he looked dazed. He kept murmuring, "Mother... Father... Grandpa Taisui... Don't leave me..."

Since Xiao Zechuan was carrying Pei Wusu on his back, his whispers reached Xiao Zechuan's ears. When Xiao Zechuan heard the name "Taisui", his expression changed slightly.

Tai Sui was once the ancestor of the Tianfang Sect and was also a powerful swordsman!

His cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Heavenly Grade Realm. With one sword strike, he could cut off a cliff and his power was feared by all!

Pei Su, the once famous young master of the Tianfang Sect, had most of his sword techniques taught to him by the ancestor Tai Sui.
