However, Shen Lang's sudden appearance completely shattered her common sense and understanding.
First, she confirmed that the ancient inscriptions on the walls of a cave in the Kunlun Mountains were real, and not just the imagination of the ancients about cultivation and seeking the Tao.
Secondly, there was Shen Lang's talk of lifespan trading, which completely overturned her understanding. During the five years she extended her grandfather's life, she could use all sorts of rare and precious materials and defy the heavens to borrow life from the heavens.
However, Shen Lang told her that he could trade his lifespan. You should know that she was a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine and understood matters of life and death better than anyone else.
Such unpredictable methods were something she had never heard of in her life.
Furthermore, she didn't doubt what Shen Lang said. As a divine physician, Xiao Yu could judge a person's physical condition by their facial features and complexion. Shen Lang's eyes were clear and unwavering, without any pretense. Moreover, according to her observation, the aura of the white-clad woman beside Shen Lang was terrifying, a feeling she had only experienced when facing martial arts masters on Longhu Mountain.
Xiao Yu reinserted the silver needles into her face, returning to her ordinary appearance, and returned to her office with a heavy heart.
After Shen Lang left with the two women, the little elf fluttered beside his ear and asked, "Master, why did Xiao Yu refuse? Isn't this a rare opportunity for anyone? What was this human thinking?"
Shen Lang communicated with it telepathically, saying, "All living beings are born with a yearning for freedom. Perhaps she doesn't want to be restrained."
"Freedom?" the little sprite murmured to itself, its tiny eyes suddenly looking somewhat lost. Then it disappeared from Shen Lang's side and returned to the system.
After saying goodbye to Mi Qi'er at the school gate, Shen Lang returned to Wangshanhe No. 1 Villa with Dong Xue, feeling depressed.
At this moment, Yu Xian'er was sitting in the living room, embroidering a piece of Shu brocade.
"Young Master, you're back." Upon seeing Shen Lang, Yu Xian'er put down her embroidery and stood up to greet him.
Shen Lang's depressed mood improved a little when he saw Yu Xian'er.
He walked slowly to Yu Xian'er's side and said softly, "Why don't you lie down and rest in bed?"
"Hehe, I'm fine." Yu Xian'er giggled, then picked up the embroidery in her hand and showed it to Shen Lang: "Young master, do you think this blue lotus I embroidered is pretty?"
Shen Lang took the moonlight-colored embroidery from Yu Xian'er's hand, examined it carefully for a while, and exclaimed, "This lotus flower is so lifelike, so beautiful. My wife's craftsmanship is truly exquisite."
Although Yu Xian'er was already a married woman, a blush still rose on her face when she heard Shen Lang's address, and she felt incredibly sweet inside.
The title "Shen Lang" officially signifies that from now on, she is his partner and the mistress of this home.
Just then, Sun Minghui called.
Shen Lang handed the embroidery to Yu Xian'er and answered the phone, "Captain Sun, is there any news?"
“Yes, I found it. This Zhuge Jing is currently using the alias Ge Qingqing and is staying at the Xingyu Hotel in X City. I have sent her information to your email.” Sun Minghui said.
"Okay, thank you for your help, Captain Sun," Shen Lang replied with a smile.
"You're welcome, this is for my own sake too." Sun Minghui didn't stand on ceremony either.
Yu Xian'er asked, "Is Young Master going to be busy again?"
Shen Lang put away his phone, shook his head and smiled wryly, "I do have some things to take care of, looks like I have to go out again."
"Then go ahead and get busy, young master. Remember to come home for dinner tonight." Yu Xian'er touched Shen Lang's cheek tenderly, but didn't say anything more.
Although Shen Lang acknowledged that he was her partner, she needed to know her place in the relationship.
Shen Lang nodded, then called Dong Xue and Xia Bingyan, and the three of them drove their Porsche Cayenne straight to the Xingyu Hotel in X City.
On the way, Shen Lang dialed Han Yuming's number.
"President Shen, what brings you here to call me today? Have you decided to come to work here?" Han Yuming answered the phone with a smile.
Shen Lang replied with a smile, "President Han, I have something I'd like to ask you for a favor. Is that alright?"
"Haha, Brother Shen, just say what you need. As long as it's within my capabilities, I'll never refuse you," Han Yuming laughed heartily.
Shen Lang then spoke with Han Yuming over the phone about his trip to the Star Domain Hotel.
Originally, I thought it would be a long and complicated process, but to my surprise, Han Yuming agreed immediately: "No problem, I'll talk to the store manager over there and ask her to cooperate fully with you."
Shen Lang hadn't expected Han Yuming to agree so readily. He knew that leaking customer privacy was a taboo in any hotel industry, let alone a five-star hotel like this.
However, without thinking too much about it, he said, "Then thank you in advance, Mr. Han. I'll treat you to dinner tonight. I wonder if you're free?"
"Hahaha. Brother Shen, since you've spoken, even if you're busy, you have to make time for it." Han Yuming laughed loudly.
The two then hung up the phone and chose to meet at Baiyun Villa.
Shen Lang smacked his lips and said, "Have I become too picky? Why am I always thinking about running errands for the manor?"
Dongxue, who was beside him, smiled and said, "That's because the manor is also the young master's home."
Shen Lang smiled knowingly: "It seems so."
The Xingyu Hotel is located in Yucheng District of X City, and it took half an hour to drive there. Shen Lang had been invited to provide guidance when the hotel opened, so he found his way to the lobby without any trouble.
At this moment, a beautiful woman wearing an expensive suit and with a layer of sheer flesh-colored stockings was standing in the hall.
"Mr. Shen, you've finally arrived." Upon seeing Shen Lang, the beautiful woman immediately strode over in her long legs and high heels, greeting him with a happy smile, "Long time no see."
Shen Lang looked at the beautiful woman and teased, "President Tan, hello there! It's been a long time. Aren't you afraid I'll steal your job?"
The beautiful woman in front of me is Tan Bing, the current general manager of Xingyu Hotel, and also Han Yuming's cousin.
When Shen Lang came to provide guidance three years ago, the two had a period of friendly exchanges and occasionally met for meals to discuss some work-related issues. Their relationship was quite good.
"Haha, if President Shen comes to the Starfield, I, Tan Bing, am willing to be your deputy." Tan Bing laughed heartily.
Shen Lang laughed and said, "That's settled then. You can't sabotage me behind my back."
Tan Bingfeng glanced at Shen Lang with a thousand different expressions: "I really want to trip President Shen up here."
"Haha." Shen Lang laughed awkwardly and said, "Let's go to the office; there are too many people around here."
Tan Bing made a welcoming gesture, placing her right hand on her abdomen and her left hand pointing towards the elevator, and bowed slightly, saying, "President Chen, please."
President Shen shook his head and smiled, and without being polite to Tan Bing, led Xia Bingyan and Dong Xue toward the elevator.
