Everyone looked at each other.
It seems to everyone that this position is a hot potato for these two.
With the meeting concluded, it was a foregone conclusion that Liu Nian would become the next president.
After everyone else left, Liu Nian finally spoke, saying what she had been unable to say in front of everyone.
"Master, I really am not cut out to be the Z-level leader. Can you please rescind your order?"
Jiang Xuanjin said calmly, "No."
I picked up the water on the table and took a sip.
fleeting time,"……"
Liu Nian took a deep breath. "Master, what's the reason you're unwilling to become the Z-President? Is it because of Miss Jian?"
He had used Miss Jian's name to help his master regain his spirits back then, and now, he couldn't think of anyone else but Miss Jian who could make his master easily let go of everything.
Jiang Xuanjin looked at Liu Nian with his deep gaze, "Yes and no."
"What do you mean, Master?" Liu Nian asked.
Jiang Xuanjin withdrew his gaze and looked out the window into the distance. "I'm tired of this kind of life. I want to change my way of living."
If you look closely, you'll notice that his gaze is unfocused; he's lost in his own thoughts.
Upon hearing this, Liu Nian frowned, pondering for a long time without finding a solution.
Is the master giving an irrelevant answer or is he implying something?
...
On the other side, Zijinyuan.
Because she had something to do today, Jian Yixue set an alarm. After she got up, she went to see the cola with Ye Mohan. After Ye Mohan finished looking at it, he went downstairs first, while Jian Yixue fed the cola before she got up and went downstairs.
Upon entering the living room, she saw Dongfang Tinglan and Aunt Qiu busy in the kitchen, and Ye Mohan and Gong Beize enjoying tea on the sofa. A smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.
This kind of happy scene was something she dreamed of seeing when she was little.
It has finally come true.
She couldn't be completely happy without Lemon.
However, the thought of finding lemons soon made her feel a little better.
Jian Yixue went into the kitchen to help Dongfang Tinglan. Dongfang Tinglan originally disagreed with letting her help, but she couldn't resist wanting to do something.
Thinking about what happened last night, Dongfang Tinglan realized that she must have returned empty-handed, otherwise Jian Yixue would have told her.
Dongfang Tinglan sighed helplessly and let Jian Yixue go about her business.
If she were busy with other things, she probably wouldn't be suffering so much.
Soon, it was time for dinner, and at that moment, Dongfang Yi and Ding Yi came downstairs.
Jian Yixue looked at the two of them, her expression inscrutable.
He then gave Dongfang Tinglan a meaningful look, which Dongfang Tinglan understood perfectly.
During this time, she had already noticed that the relationship between the two had progressed by leaps and bounds. Based on her experience, she was afraid that the Dongfang family would have a happy event soon.
If Dongfang Yi puts in a little more effort, it's very likely that he will have double happiness.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Tinglan smiled and invited the two of them to have dinner together.
Dongfang Yi remained calm, while Ding Yi felt somewhat embarrassed by the gazes of Dongfang Tinglan and Jian Yixue.
She really wanted to explain that she and Dongfang Yi just happened to bump into each other on their way out, so they came down together.
It wasn't as everyone thought.
But seeing the looks in everyone's eyes, Ding Yi realized that it would be pointless to say anything, so she gave up struggling.
The family finished their meal with each member preoccupied with their own thoughts.
After finishing their meal, Jian Yixue asked Aunt Qiu to call someone to clean up, while she had the others follow them upstairs.
In the study, everyone sat together.
Seeing this scene and thinking about what happened last night, Dongfang Tinglan couldn't help but worry. Ignoring whether it would arouse Jian Yixue's suspicion, she asked, "Xue'er, is something the matter?"
Otherwise, Xue'er wouldn't have let her come up at this time, in such a hurry, not even willing to wait for the time to clear the dishes.
It seems she didn't want to delay everyone's meal, which is why she chose not to say anything.
Upon hearing Dongfang Tinglan's words, everyone turned their gaze to Jian Yixue.
Under everyone's gaze, Jian Yixue nodded solemnly.
Then she told everyone everything that had happened the night before.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan disregarded all decorum and immediately rebuked, "How can there be such a shameless person in this world! They have utterly disgraced Shennong Pavilion!"
Although the other four didn't say anything, their expressions showed that they thought the same thing.
Then, Dongfang Tinglan looked at Jian Yixue and said, "Now that we know that the lemon is very likely in Shennong Pavilion, shouldn't we set off as soon as possible?"
After all, who knows what that madwoman Qu Rui might do?
Jian Yixue nodded and said, "That's what we mean. Let's get ready and set off in a bit."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Aside from anger, Ding Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In her view, Qu Rui's actions were nothing short of bullying.
She brought this all on herself, and has no one else to blame.
She had long hoped that Dongfang Tinglan could return and purge the Shennong Pavilion, and now was the perfect opportunity.
"Mom, if Qu Rui and the others really kidnap Lemon when we go to Shennong Pavilion this time, I will absolutely not let her go."
Just before leaving, Jane Yixue suddenly spoke.
The reason I said this was to make things clear beforehand, so that if something really happened, it wouldn't cause a rift between the mother and daughter.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan immediately said, "Of course. If she really kidnapped Lemon for the sake of the Shennong Token, not only you, but even I wouldn't let her off easily."
Putting aside the fact that her relationship with Qu Rui was only so-so to begin with, although they were fellow disciples, their friendship was not deep.
She actually had a better relationship with her senior.
She didn't care much when Qu Rui took the position of Pavilion Master.
In her view, this position was a shackle, locking away her yearning for freedom.
As long as Qu Rui can lead Shennong Pavilion well and live up to the expectations of her master and predecessors, she has no intention of taking back this address.
For her, this loss was liberation.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and now... she can't forgive someone for doing something like this for the sake of the Shennong Token.
...
Shennong Pavilion.
Early in the morning, Jiang Lie emerged from Qu Rui's room refreshed and quietly led his men to his secret dungeon inside Shennong Pavilion, avoiding everyone else.
He had discovered this by accident, and he never expected it to come in handy now.
After many twists and turns, Jiang Lie arrived at the entrance of a dungeon deep within the Shennong Pavilion. He ordered his men to guard the entrance while he went straight into the dungeon.
Hearing the noise, the people in the dungeon looked up suddenly, but were blinded by the sudden light and saw nothing.
