Zhu Yu walked nervously to the entrance of the supplies warehouse.

He felt the path was extremely long!

And when he finally arrived.

He saw Zhuo Yifei standing there with Zhang Dabin, waiting for him with serious expressions!

Seeing this!

Zhu Yu felt even more uneasy!

...

"Yifei, Zhu Yu! You two are outstanding among the superpower users in the district, and you’re the ones I have my eye on!"

Zhang Dabin’s voice was steady!

His eyes were filled with expectations for the two young men!

"I’ve decided to pass on my legacy to you! So that you can become the new guardians of the district!"

Upon hearing this!

Zhu Yu was instantly stunned!

Passing on a legacy?

Wasn’t he going to be held accountable?

He let out a long breath as if he had survived a catastrophe!

His mood gradually became joyful!

...

Zhang Dabin continued:

"Although your combat power isn’t the best!"

"But your efforts and talents give me a lot of confidence in you!"

"As long as you maintain this momentum!"

"In the future, not to mention breaking through C-Class, even breaking through to B-Class, or even A-Class, is not impossible!"

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Yifei’s eyes flashed with determination and pride!

Zhu Yu, however, was still immersed in the joy of narrowly escaping a disaster and wasn’t listening very attentively!

He secretly resolved in his heart to repay Teacher Da Bin well in the future!

...

"Yifei, you have a mature character and are fair in doing things!"

"From now on, you’ll take on the role of supplies manager!"

"Responsible for exchanging supplies for the district residents!"

Zhang Dabin said!

"Yes!"

Zhuo Yifei accepted!

"Zhu Yu! You’re still young, start with some simple work to train yourself!"

"Um..."

"Go help Old Luo with the fire!"

Zhang Dabin arranged.

"Yes!"

Zhu Yu also agreed —

From now on, he would be responsible for assisting Luo Hong’an with alchemy!

Using the Flame Pearl to control the power of the fire!

Although this job seemed simple, it required extremely high focus and patience, and was an indispensable part of the alchemy process!

...

After arranging the two young men, Zhang Dabin took a deep breath and a trace of relief flashed in his eyes.

"So, Teacher Da Bin, where are you going?"

Zhuo Yifei couldn’t help but ask.

Because whether it was exchanging supplies for the hunting team or tending the alchemy furnace fire!

It had always been done by Zhang Dabin!

"Me?"

Zhang Dabin merely smiled!

"I am going into seclusion for cultivation, aiming for A-Class!"

"When I come out, I’ll be a master!"

Upon hearing this!

Zhuo Yifei’s eyes lit up:

"Teacher is aiming for A-Class? That’s amazing!"

"It’s not set in stone yet! I’m off!"

After speaking!

Zhang Dabin turned and left!

Leaving Zhu Yu and Zhuo Yifei to smile at each other!

They knew!

In this Xingfu District, they had finally established their foothold!

"Brother Yifei, thank you! From now on, I’ll listen to you, and never do anything foolish again!"

"Don’t mention it! Focus on cultivation, it’s the most important thing!"

"Mm!"

...

Bright Moon City!

Patek Square!

Queen’s Hall territory! 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

On this late night!

The moonlight was obscured by thick clouds, only faint starlight occasionally pierced through, scattering outside the small room where Yan Lan and Shen Chuchu were.

For Yan Lan, this small room was more like a cage!

It restricted her freedom and imprisoned her glory.

Yan Lan curled up in a corner of the room, covered only with a thin blanket.

Her eyes were empty and confused, as if recalling her past glory.

Since being imprisoned here, her world had turned dark and cold.

Suddenly!

There was a sound of footsteps outside the window!

A woman’s voice said:

"You rascal, where exactly are you taking me? Blindfolded and not letting me see!"

Then a sleazy male voice:

"Hehe! It’s more exciting if you can’t see! Don’t peek!"

The woman’s voice stretched:

"You’re quite something! Just don’t let anyone catch you!"

"Relax! I guarantee no one knows! Come here, let me give you a kiss!"

"Oh! Stop it!"

...

Upon hearing this!

Yan Lan’s heart suddenly tightened!

She realized the woman’s voice was familiar, a member of the Queen’s Hall, named Xiaoling!

What?!

Why is this Xiaoling flirting with a man?!

How dare she sneak out to meet someone in the middle of the night?!

All along, she thought—

She was in her current state of ruin because she resisted men, and that was something to be proud of!

The women of the Queen’s Hall all took pride in her!

However!

Reality dealt her a heavy blow!

These women who once fought alongside her were now colluding with the Gods’ Team!

Betraying the spirit and principles of the Queen’s Hall!

Compared to their ingratitude towards her!

This!

Imbued Yan Lan with deep disappointment and anger!

...

"How dare my Queen’s Hall women get entangled with men?!"

She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, her heart burning like it was set ablaze!

She couldn’t stand the women of the Queen’s Hall being so indecent with men!

Because it was a violation of her beliefs!

A woman may be killed but not humiliated!

So she suddenly stood up, pounded on the small door with all her might, and loudly stopped their actions:

"What are you doing?!"

Yan Lan’s voice echoed through the night sky, carrying an unmistakable anger and disappointment!

It even startled Shen Chuchu, who was in a deep sleep, awake!

She sat up suddenly!

In fear, she asked:

"What happened? Hmm? Where’s Lin Lang? Wasn’t Lin Lang coming to save me?"

...

The woman named Xiaoling was clearly startled by Yan Lan’s sudden outburst!

She instinctively wanted to run!

However!

Yan Lan accurately called out her name:

"Xiaoling, where do you think you can run off to?"

...

Outside the door!

Xiaoling’s body slightly trembled, knowing she had nowhere to escape.

She then blamed the man:

"Damn it! Why on earth would you lead me here?!"

The man said indignantly:

"Damn! How was I supposed to know someone was living in this little broken storage room!"

"Who’s in there anyway?!"

...

Xiaoling didn’t answer the man’s question!

She took a deep breath, gathered her courage, opened the door to the storage room.

And walked in!

Then warned Yan Lan:

"Don’t say anything, or it won’t end well for you!"

However!

Xiaoling’s warning did not make Yan Lan back down.

Yan Lan glared at her:

"This is what the Queen’s Hall is without me!"

"Did that traitor lead you all to this?!"

Xiaoling’s face turned crimson!

She hurriedly pleaded:

"Ms. Lan, please don’t tell anyone!"

"I’ll bring you delicious food every day!"

Upon hearing this!

Shen Chuchu’s eyes lit up:

"Delicious food! Yes, yes!"

But Yan Lan just snorted coldly:

"You’ve betrayed the spirit of the Queen! And you want to drag me down with you?!"

...

But at this moment!

The man also noticed Yan Lan’s presence!

His eyes already filled with lust became even more greedy and evil upon seeing Yan Lan’s beauty—

Yan Lan stood at that moment in the dim room!

Emitting an aura of nobility and inviolability!

Despite her downfall, it couldn’t conceal her innate beauty and dignity!

Her features were uniquely angelic and exquisitely formed!

Even in the dim lighting!

Her skin’s creamy and delicate texture was as clear as the purest porcelain under the moonlight!

Her hair was slightly disheveled, with strands falling across her forehead, adding a touch of unintentional elegance!

Her attire, though old, was kept clean, without a wrinkle!

Even in her most difficult moments, she maintained her self-respect and standards!

...

Yan Lan’s beauty was a beauty that fused aloofness with dignity!

Even in destitution, she still exuded an indomitable force!
