"Hey, excuse me, I wanted to ask, have we met before?"

A girl with delicate features ran up to Ye Qingfeng, speaking excitedly.

This girl had a delicate face, her hair draped over her shoulders, fair skin, and a simple ponytail. She wore sky-blue denim shorts, showcasing her long legs, exuding a youthful vibe.

"No, I don’t know you," Ye Qingfeng said straightforwardly.

"Oh, I see. Sorry about that." The girl smiled awkwardly, looking sweet.

"Liuying, what are you doing? Let’s go." At this moment, a slightly chubby girl called out from a short distance away before running over, instantly revealing a teasing look:

"So you were chatting up a handsome guy, huh? That’s why you didn’t come over."

This girl was none other than Wang Liuying, the girl Ye Qingfeng had casually helped before.

Hearing Xiao Mei’s teasing, Wang Liuying’s pretty face turned red immediately, and she quickly said, "Xiao Mei, don’t talk nonsense. I just thought this gentleman looked familiar."

"Familiar?" Xiao Mei was momentarily stunned, then laughed, "I get it. Do you feel like you’ve seen him somewhere before?"

"No, I really feel like I’ve seen him somewhere," Wang Liuying said, her face flushed, hurrying to explain.

"Then I’ll be off first." Ye Qingfeng said with a calm expression, turning to leave.

"Hey, wait a moment." Wang Liuying suddenly grabbed Ye Qingfeng’s arm, and when Ye Qingfeng turned around, she immediately let go with a blushing face.

"Um, I feel like we are fated to meet. How about we get to know each other and be friends?"

Wang Liuying said with some embarrassment.

Xiao Mei looked at Wang Liuying in surprise; she knew her best friend well, who rarely took the initiative to chat with other men, let alone proactively make friends with them.

Knowing that so many guys pursued her, she never felt moved and rarely paid any attention. Could it be that Liuying really liked this guy? Xiao Mei thought puzzledly.

She glanced at Ye Qingfeng; indeed, he was quite handsome and elegant, but Liuying wasn’t someone who judged people by their appearance. Why was she being so proactive?

"Hello, I’m Wang Liuying, and this is my best friend Xiao Mei. May I know your name?" Wang Liuying extended her hand proactively.

"Ye Qingfeng."

Ye Qingfeng’s expression was calm; surprisingly, he did not refuse but rather smiled slightly, gently holding Wang Liuying’s hand before letting it go.

Looking at Ye Qingfeng’s slender fingers, Wang Liuying’s eyes moved slightly; these hands were fair and clean, somewhat resembling a girl’s hands.

Xiao Mei looked at her best friend, feeling that she was acting strange; could it be that she was indeed moved by this guy? But they just met on the street, could it be love at first sight?

Wang Liuying looked at Ye Qingfeng, her pretty face slightly red, and said, "Um, Ye Qingfeng, we happen to have a gathering with a few friends. Why don’t you join us?"

Wang Liuying’s eyes slightly sparkled with a bit of expectation.

"Sure." Ye Qingfeng smiled faintly.

A trace of joy immediately appeared on Wang Liuying’s pretty face.

Wang Liuying and her friends were having their gathering at a bar, and the three headed towards the bar street.

Wang Liuying and Xiao Mei walked ahead, with Xiao Mei gently leaning on Wang Liuying’s shoulder, carrying a hint of a smile on her face, she softly said in her ear, "Liuying, you didn’t seriously fall for that handsome guy at first sight, did you?"

Wang Liuying’s pretty face turned red immediately; she secretly glanced at Ye Qingfeng and whispered, "Don’t talk nonsense. Didn’t you really feel that he looks like someone?"

"Someone? Do I know him?" Xiao Mei said, a bit confused.

"It’s the guy who saved us in the alley that day. I just saw his back, and it felt very familiar, so I went over to chat," Wang Liuying explained softly.

The guy who saved them that day?

Xiao Mei was momentarily stunned, then looked in surprise, whispering, "Liuying, how can you tell? That night the alley was so dark, and he stood in the shadows on purpose; you couldn’t see his face clearly."

"It’s the aura, or rather the vibe, a very special feeling." Wang Liuying shrugged, explaining.

"Oh no, Liuying, you must be enchanted. What aura or vibe?" Xiao Mei shook her head repeatedly, finding it hard to understand, "Last time you saw that drill instructor Zhong Ming online, you also said it was the guy who saved us, now you randomly meet a guy on the street, and you say it’s him."

"I’m telling the truth; they are the same person."

"Alright, suit yourself. Anyway, this guy is quite handsome, and you guys make a good match." Xiao Mei laughed immediately.

"I’m gonna kill you."

Wang Liuying’s pretty face turned red instantly, pinching Xiao Mei’s waist lightly.

Ye Qingfeng naturally overheard the conversation between Wang Liuying and Xiao Mei; with his hearing ability, even without using divine sense, their conversation couldn’t escape his ears.

Wang Liuying had a sharp sense; she could sense his aura, recognizing him several times, although unsure.

Ye Qingfeng’s divine sense searched the space ring; inside, there was a string of jade pendants lying quietly. The Spirit Nourishing Wood, indeed, was very rare.

Perhaps he was too indifferent last time; the Spirit Nourishing Wood’s value was high, able to preserve the soul from dissipating, and very rare in the Cultivation World.

This value warrants some compensation from Ye Qingfeng; in his mind, he planned to directly give Wang Liuying some money later to buy the Spirit Nourishing Wood.

A million will do, Ye Qingfeng thought to himself.

Maggie Bar.

Maggie Bar was the top bar in this area; although not top-tier in East River City, its prosperous location made it a favorite for many small rich second generations, with luxury cars gathering here frequently.

It was said that Maggie Bar was opened by a big boss in East River City and was very safe, making it a popular place for many girls to hang out.

"Liuying, Xiao Mei, over here." Suddenly, a voice called out. A short-haired girl holding a guy’s arm waved at the entrance of Maggie Bar.

Beside her stood a girl with long hair draped over her shoulders, wearing black tight-fitting clothes with a black short skirt, revealing her snow-white, jade-like legs, and high heels on her feet.

This girl had a pretty face, with exquisite makeup, and her looks were comparable to Wang Liuying, yet they were entirely different styles.

Wang Liuying exuded the aura of a pure girl-next-door, radiating youthful and sunny vibes from head to toe, while the long-haired girl at Maggie Bar’s entrance was cold and sharp, with the aura of a nightclub queen.

Wang Liuying and the other two walked over.
