There was no accident; Lu Zheng drove the M8 Master and left the sports stadium.

"I never thought modern life could be so colorful," Shen Ying said with a smile.

She smiled while searching for information and videos of the Star of Sea City on her phone, then held up the phone and laughed, "I didn't expect there to be places like this. Do you want to go out tonight and have some fun?"

Liu Qingyan softly shook her head and said, "Don't give Lu Lang trouble. Is that a place where decent people would go?"

"Alright, alright!" Shen Ying laughed, "We've already experienced Lu Lang's heroics in saving the beauty, so there's no need for that."

"Nightclubs are quite chaotic, but there are some quieter bars that are worth visiting," Lu Zheng said, "They usually have resident singers or bands, and guests generally mind their own business; it's relatively quiet."

Liu Qingyan nodded, "That sounds good."

"Alright, we have a place to go tonight." Lu Zheng nodded and said, "I'll check the place, and then we'll head straight there."

"The bars on Yanghai Road are like that, and the well-known ones are Dark Night Star and Drunken Sea Wind," Lin Wan said, "I've been there with Xiaoying; it's quite nice."

"Got it!" Lu Zheng snapped his fingers.

Just then, the business vehicle turned a corner, and thick black smoke suddenly appeared on the left side of the overpass.

"Is there a fire?" Lin Wan immediately turned her head to look.

At this moment, the business vehicle was driving on the overpass, providing a good view. You could clearly see the fire blazing less than a kilometer away on the left side, around the seventeenth or eighteenth floor of a community apartment building, spewing out thick black smoke straight into the sky.

"There's a fire!" Lin Wan said.

"Someone is calling for help," Shen Ying said.

"There are people in the burning building." Si Lingxi squinted her eyes.

"The fire trucks haven't arrived yet?" Liu Qingyan's eyes flashed, "It's too late!"

As soon as the words fell, Si Lingxi, sitting in the front passenger seat, gently moved her fingers.

In the next moment, the fire in the apartment suddenly subsided and was extinguished, not even a spark remained.

Then, a breeze arose seemingly out of nowhere, clearing the remaining black smoke from the apartment building, allowing those who were suffocating inside to suddenly breathe fresh air, leaving them bewildered.

Trapped crowd: ???

The crowd downstairs who were filming, moving electric vehicles, and directing fire trucks suddenly noticed that smoke stopped coming from above.

"What's happening?"

"The fire's out?"

"No way! Just now, the fire was so big!"

"What's going on? Did someone close the window or something?"

"Are you kidding?"

"Hey, look, it's really not smoking anymore. Was there no fire at all, just someone burning something inside by mistake?"

"I don't know. Let's go upstairs and check!"

A bewildered crowd and confused firefighters went upstairs and quickly saw the walls blackened by smoke, a clearly damaged household, and affected neighboring residences above and below.

"How did the fire go out?"

"I don't know!"

"Did someone come to extinguish the fire?"

"I don't know!"

"What just happened?"

"I don't know!"

Firefighter: "…"

Trapped crowd: "…"

...

On the overpass, an M8 Master sped by without even tapping the brakes.

Lu Zheng driving with one hand, raised a thumb towards Si Lingxi, "Impressive!"

Si Lingxi shook her head, then unexpectedly gave a playful smile, "You only said not to use spells publicly where ordinary people can notice. This doesn't count, right?"

Lu Zheng nodded, "Certainly not!"

If this counted, Lu Zheng would be daring enough to livestream using the Thunder Technique.

Moreover, his mindset was gradually changing, frankly speaking: if they find out, they find out, what can they do about it?

...

The Full Armor Combat match lasted throughout the afternoon, and it was almost six o'clock by then. With the early darkness in winter, when the business vehicle arrived at Yanghai Road's Dark Night Star, it was entirely night.

They ordered some snacks and drinks and quietly listened to the singer on stage.

A girl with looks rated at seventy percent, and eighty percent with makeup, was quietly sitting on a high stool on the bar stage, playing guitar and singing.

Si Lingxi and the three girls looked around and saw groups of three or two, chatting, listening to the music, and eating.

"Isn't this similar to the idea of eating and listening to music at a restaurant?" Liu Qingyan asked.

Lu Zheng blinked, thought for a moment, and had to nod in acknowledgment, "It really is the same thing."

"But the atmosphere they created is quite nice," Si Lingxi nodded, "and the lighting and sound effects are something Da Jing Restaurant can't match."

Shen Ying lay back, her two fair little feet jumped out of her shoes, lightly rested on Lu Zheng's thigh, her toes wiggling as if teasing, yet seemingly provocative.

Liu Qingyan asked Lin Wan, "Do Blue Star People come here for a drink and a song to relax after a day's work?"

Lin Wan thought about it and added, "Yes, those with a bit of money seeking spiritual enjoyment."

Just then, the singer on stage finished two songs and went down to rest, and the staff unexpectedly brought a zither onto the stage.

The bar owner introduced on stage, "An exceptionally talented girl from the music academy is here for her first day, bringing you several zither pieces."

"Clap clap clap!" Applause resounded.

Then a girl dressed in traditional attire gracefully walked onto the stage, sat in front of the zither, and began playing, accompanied by sounds of nature in the background.

"Zheng—Zheng—Zheng—"

As the zither played, bar patrons began bobbing their heads in enjoyment, some even keeping rhythm as if they were professionals.

However, Lu Zheng was frowning lightly on one side, and Si Lingxi couldn't help but shake her head, "The level is too poor."

The previous singer played the guitar rather well, and though Si Lingxi hadn't seen a guitar before, she listened casually without comment—but now with the zither, this was her specialist domain.

Listening to low-quality music was sheer torture for her ears.

And the zither performance by the music academy's exceptionally talented girl was indeed an auditory torture for her.

"Please stop playing."

Si Lingxi calmly interrupted the girl on stage, "Your zither skill is still a bit rusty; practice for a few more days before coming out again."

Using just the term "rusty," Si Lingxi had already been very polite, and though her voice wasn't loud, it reached the girl clearly and eerily.

The girl's face turned pale.

She had heard before that bars sometimes target newcomers for trouble; she never expected to find a bar with good reviews, yet still couldn't escape such fate.

Meanwhile, some patrons below also heard Si Lingxi's words and instinctively stood up for the girl.

"She plays well enough!"

"Young lady, keep going, just ignore any nonsense spouted by some haters."

"If you think her music isn't good, just leave. Does criticizing make you feel competent?"

"If you find fault, point out what's wrong, step up, and play a tune. Don't just talk big without action. That makes you look incapable!"
