"It's a bit cold, put on your coat, I'll call someone to pick us up." Pale took out his coat from his personal space and draped it over Longyue from the front.

It was nearly midnight when they came out. Pale originally wanted to go back by himself, but it seemed difficult to explain if he just went back like that, so he decided to have someone pick them up.

Seeing that neither he nor Oborozuki looked disheveled at all, Pale made wounds on his own body and pretended to look disheveled and weak.

However, Cang Bai was unaware that the Cang family was about to undergo a major upheaval. After all, the main branch of the Cang family was a single line of succession, while the collateral branches were thriving, and many ambitious individuals were eyeing Cang Bai's position.

The disappearance of the pale figure gave them an opportunity.

During this period, the entire Cang family was in dire straits, with people from other aristocratic families also eyeing them. However, since the head of the Cang family was still in power, they couldn't openly take action. So they could only contact the collateral branches of the Cang family and secretly support them in their schemes.

The best way to show support is through marriage.

With no direct descendants, the Cang family can only rely on collateral branches. And as long as their marriage partner becomes the young master of the Cang family, the Cang family will eventually fall into their hands.

Lin Yu'er was no exception. The abnormal behavior of the system during this period made her a little panicked, but now was not the time for her to panic. Her other sisters in the family had already made their moves, and the situation was not in her favor.

If she continues like this, I'm afraid what she was about to get will be taken away.

She wants the Lin family, and she won't give up the Cang family either.

Originally, this seclusion was supposed to be a breakthrough, but as she approached that point, there was no sign of a breakthrough, and the system was also ignoring her. This forced her to grit her teeth and give up the idea of ​​breaking through.

The paleness is gone. If one wants to further enhance one's power, the only option is to find a husband from a family with ability, strength, and status.

Without prior arrangement, Lin Yu'er also thought of the younger generation of the Cang family, wondering who could be worthy of her.

After much deliberation, Lin Yu'er gritted her teeth and decided that none of them were as good as Pale White; either their talent was too poor or they were too ugly.

It's all that bitch's fault. It's all because of her that she wouldn't have stooped so low.

However, if she chose someone from another aristocratic family, they might not only fail to become an asset, but she might even have to pay them extra, which made Lin Yu'er very unhappy.

Lin Yu'er was confident that the Cang family would eventually fall into her hands.

Therefore, they were even more ruthless in dealing with the Pale lineage.

In the end, she took a liking to a young man from a collateral branch of the Cang family who was decent-looking and had some talent, and the two families got engaged.

The Lin family head naturally supported Lin Yu'er's idea. Rather than marrying into another family and competing for the position of young master that someone else had already secured, it would be better to compete for the position of young master of the Cang family from the beginning. In any case, the fate of the original young master was unknown, and he was probably dead.

In Binnan District, Huang Guozhong had already lain down, with his wife beside him. It was another sleepless night for the two of them.

They remained silent, neither of them speaking, while Huang Guozhong gently comforted her.

They originally planned to go to the battlefield, but Longyue's sudden accident made them lose all interest in going out. Fortunately, after Longyue returned, she gave Huang Guozhong a large sum of money, enough for them to live comfortably for decades without working.

Huang Minxing and Zheng Zhong have already met in Binnan District and are now living in the Third Residential Area, where they have rented a house. They are now waiting for news from Pan Shuang.

It shouldn't have been this complicated. Given Pan Shuang's influence in the Binnan District, finding two people would have been incredibly easy.

However, to her utter bewilderment, her men couldn't find the person even after a whole day.

Pan Shuang was quite angry about this, but realizing that getting angry was useless, she held back and simply waved to them, signaling them to continue.

Pan Shuang couldn't understand it either. Could three ordinary people just vanish into thin air? Why couldn't she find them?

Could it be because the Liang family got involved?

Pan Shuang thought it was unlikely!

However, she just couldn't find it. If the Liang family didn't get involved, then who else could have such great power?

Pan Shuang felt that things might be as she thought, so she beckoned to the people serving her.

"Go and investigate the Liang family for me. See if they've made any moves lately."

"Yes, Miss."

Pan Shuang sneered. No matter what the Liang family was planning, it wouldn't matter this time. Anyway, it wasn't her who made the move, so whatever happened had nothing to do with her.

The night was dark, and the temperature was frighteningly low as winter approached, dropping directly below zero. Sure enough, since the revival of spiritual energy, the temperature difference between before the Spirit Era and now is getting bigger and bigger.

The large temperature difference between day and night is bad enough in summer, but it's the same in winter, it's just unbearable.

If humans today weren't different from those of the past, most of them would probably be frostbitten by now.

Actually, Oborozuki didn't feel that cold, since everyone had a fire burning inside them.

She had originally intended to refuse, but seeing his pale, cold eyes and expression that didn't seem to indicate refusal, Longyue subconsciously accepted.

Aren't you going to wear it?

Longyue exhaled, and a white cloud of gas appeared. The temperature was indeed very low, especially since this was by the sea, where the seawater was washing over the cold air, making the cold air particularly intense.

"Yes, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to them."

Everyone else was wearing thick cotton-padded coats and bundled up in heavy clothes, but he was the only one wearing a single layer of clothing, which seemed completely unreasonable.

Not long after, the pale-faced man arrived in his aircraft.

"Young Master!"

"Young Master, you're alright! That's wonderful!"
