"Susu, are you sure you can still eat this meal?"

Looking at the mess on the dining table, Xiaoqi felt it was cruel, utterly cruel.

But Su Ning remained calm, "Just you wait and see. After this meal, I guarantee I'll be able to unlock Lou Xianyue's progress bar."

Even at the very first meeting, the objective of the mission under the beauty's skirt had already been unlocked: Lou Xianyue.

Currently, the task progress above shows that Yu Xinglai's progress is full, Lin Ci's is 50%, and the names of Song Hengxue and Lou Xianyue are still chained and indicate that they have not been unlocked.

Therefore, the progress of the two characters' tasks cannot be seen.

As for the last one, the leader of the Wuxiang Sect, Su Ning hadn't even considered him. He was a hidden villain who didn't even appear in the original story, and Su Ning didn't have any hope that he would appear in front of her.

Even if she ultimately fails to complete the mission, Su Ning doesn't feel anything is wrong.

She could simply forgo the reward, but at least she had slept with the man; as long as she enjoyed the process, that was enough.

Su Ning never dwells on her own problems, only causing internal strife among others.

Let's start by enjoying the appetizers; we should eat our meal one bite at a time.

After Tang Xi was stopped by Su Ning, she could only stammer and didn't know how to refute the other party, which made Yue Zijin very angry.

Wasn't Tang Xi usually quite witty when she scolded him? Why can't she utter a few words now? If Su Ning hadn't been there, and if this weren't a table from the Sword Casting Manor, he would have already started fighting with her.

Pei Yunlian, whose seat was about to be taken, also stood up. He was dressed in a sky-blue outfit, and his whole body was covered with a layer of coldness that kept strangers away. His thin lips were pursed into a sharp arc, and his cold eyes stared at the other person.

His voice was as cold as ice, "You're not qualified."

The two were instantly locked in a stalemate. One was arrogant and haughty, the other aloof and indifferent. Their gazes collided in mid-air, as if sparks were flying, neither willing to back down even slightly.

Yue Zi was practically standing by, cheering Pei Yunlian on.

Good lad, you've really made him proud!

Just when everyone thought the two were about to fight, Su Ning said lightly, "Yun Lian, your injuries haven't healed yet. Brother You said you need to rest for a while and can't fight."

"You agree, right, Brother You?"

The girl's voice was sweet and clear, yet it carried a hint of intimacy.

You Xunchun was already sitting furthest away from Su Ning, and when she suddenly heard the girl in the eye of the storm mention her, a trace of lingering surprise remained in the depths of her eyes.

But he saw that the other person was looking directly at him without any attempt to hide it, their pupils pure and innocent, just like the stars hanging in the sky tonight.

It was as if they were asking for his opinion.

But with just that one sentence, the atmosphere on stage instantly changed, and Lou Xianyue was the first to focus her gaze on the man in blue in the corner.

Is this old man also connected to her?

Noticing that the spotlight had been quietly shifted to her, You Xun Chun unconsciously rubbed the hem of her clothes with her fingers hidden under the table.

Is it not enough that this little fox has already turned the situation upside down? Does he really want to drag him down with him?

Gazing at the girl opposite him with a slight upturn of her lips, the man in blue trembled with his long eyelashes, concealing the expression in his eyes. When he looked up again, his usual gentle and soothing demeanor returned.

"Young friend Pei's health does indeed require some rest for now. It's best to avoid martial arts, otherwise, it might lead to chronic illnesses that could hinder your martial arts training."

Pei Yunlian naturally believed You Xunchun's words. Although he felt that his body had recovered well enough, he still hesitated to take action under Su Ning's disapproving gaze.

Tang Xi, having prepared her words, said, "Young Master Lou, guests are always welcome, and my Sword Forging Manor will certainly treat them well. But the people at the table are all friends of my Sword Forging Manor."

"We can't break the rules because of you, right?"

"If Young Master Lou isn't here for dinner tonight, then please return to your own courtyard. The servants will bring you the exact same dishes that were on the table tonight."

"I will certainly not let Young Master Lou suffer any injustice."

Tang Xi looked at Lou Xianyue, who seemed to have ill intentions. Even if she was stupid, she could tell that he was clearly after Su Su.

Then, thinking back to what Yuezi said today about someone surnamed Lou, could it be that what happened after Susu was kidnapped last night is related to the person in front of me?

After Lou Xianyue's outburst, she was so angry that she surprisingly stood on the same side as Yue Zijin.

Now that Yue Zijin had gained power, she echoed Tang Xi's words, "Yes, this young master Lou from Dongjian, Miss Tang has already spoken. If you don't want to sit at the table with us, then you should go back to your own courtyard to eat."

Lou Xianyue, however, seemed not to hear her and instead asked Su Ning with concern, "Miss Su, you caught a chill last night. Are you feeling better today?"

"If it doesn't go well, I brought quite a few precious medicinal herbs with me on this trip, and I'll have them delivered to your residence later."

Su Ning had said that she would thank him if she met with her friends, but now she was being attacked by her friends, and he didn't believe she would stand idly by.

As expected, upon hearing this, Su Ning bit her lower lip slightly, seemingly a little embarrassed, and said, "Thank you for saving me last night, Young Master Lou. I'm feeling much better now."

After speaking, she looked at Tang Xi again and said softly, "Xi Xi, it was Young Master Lou who saved me last night, but I forgot to tell you clearly. I didn't expect to see Young Master Lou so soon."

No wonder Su Su was able to control herself; I never expected that she and Lou Xianyue had such a relationship.

It must be because she's shy, and Lou Xianyue is a man; it's understandable that she didn't tell her immediately.

Tangxi quickly found an excuse for Su Ning.

The blame for this should fall on Yue Zijin. He must have seen Lou Xianyue bring Su Ning back, and then, out of jealousy, deliberately smeared him.

Although Lou Xianyue is indeed annoying.

"Since you're Su Su's savior, please sit down. However, Su Su is already seated. If you forcibly take someone else's seat, it wouldn't be proper conduct for the Lou family, would it?"

Lou Xianyue raised her eyebrows slightly, her gaze lazily sweeping around the table, as if she knew the other party would say that, and did not argue with her much.

He simply uttered, "Kong Qing."

Then everyone saw the cold-faced guard carry a chair from outside and forcefully squeeze between Su Ning and Pei Yunlian.
