Chapter 246 A Storm is About to Begin!
In the bustling city of Jiangli, a coffee shop called "Time Walk" in the city center is filled with the rich aroma of coffee.
The store was bustling with customers, some chatting quietly, others engrossed in reading their books.
A pretty young girl sat in a spot near the window with a great view.
She was wearing a stylish windbreaker with a delicate camera hanging from her chest. She was anxiously looking out the window at the bustling streets and crowds of people, as if searching for the figure of some important person.
Time passed second by second, and finally, the girl's slightly anxious expression was instantly replaced by joy.
She suddenly stood up, excitedly waving her arms and shouting into the crowded street outside, "Senior Brother! Senior Brother Ye! I'm here, here!"
The girl's clear and loud shouts instantly attracted the curious gazes of many passersby.
However, the girl, immersed in joy, paid no attention to this and remained focused on the figure gradually approaching her.
At the same time, Ye Shang, who was struggling through the crowd, heard a familiar shout. Looking in the direction of the sound, he quickly spotted a girl cheering and jumping for joy standing in front of the coffee shop window.
He smiled and quickened his pace, walking briskly towards the direction the girl was.
Upon approaching, Ye Shang gently raised his right hand and affectionately tapped the girl's forehead, feigning a scolding, "Alright, stop shouting and disturbing others. You're such a grown-up, yet you're still so reckless. Have you forgotten your teacher's repeated warnings?"
"Hmph! I'm an adult now, okay? Even my dad can't control me anymore!"
"Also, you're not allowed to tap my forehead anymore, it really hurts!" The girl muttered in dissatisfaction while holding her head, and then playfully made a face at Ye Shang.
"Stop pretending, I didn't even use much force." Ye Shang replied to the quirky girl in front of him with an annoyed look.
The girl blinked her big, watery eyes and pouted, "Ouch, it hurts!" She then rubbed the spot where Ye Shang had just hit her.
Ye Shang crossed his arms, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "So, did you anger the teacher again by coming to see me this time?"
The girl quickly waved her hand in denial, saying, "No, no way! I just missed you, Senior Brother, so I came all the way here to see you." As she spoke, she gently shook Ye Shang's arm and began to act coquettishly.
Ye Shang remained unmoved, forcefully pulling his arm away from the girl's grasp. With a stern face, he threatened her, "Don't try that. If you don't tell me the truth, believe me, I'll send you back to the capital right now! Don't blame me for being ruthless then."
Upon hearing this, the girl seemed to have suffered a great injustice. Her lips trembled, tears welled up in her eyes, and she cried out in a sobbing voice, "You all bully me! I'm never playing with you again! Waaah..." Before she could finish speaking, she buried her head in her arms and cried bitterly.
Seeing this, Ye Shang's heart softened, and he sighed helplessly.
After all, although this little girl was not his biological sister, the bond between them was even stronger than that between biological siblings.
After his parents passed away, his teacher raised him single-handedly, and this little girl was his teacher's only child, so he had no choice but to spoil her.
So he quickly squatted down and gently comforted you, "Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry. Your senior brother was just scare you. He won't really send you away."
"No matter what happens, your senior brother will stand up for you. Be good, don't cry yet, explain things clearly first, okay?"
Upon hearing this, the girl slowly stopped sobbing. Her slightly trembling shoulders gradually calmed down, but her eyes were still red, and tears glistened at the corners of her eyes, as if they were about to burst forth again at any moment.
"I... I just couldn't stand that woman staying at home all day and fawning over my dad, so I couldn't help but say a few words. But instead of defending me, my dad gave me a severe scolding."
"I was so wronged and angry that I ran away in a fit of rage, but I didn't know where to go. After thinking it over, I realized that you were the only one I could come to." The girl sobbed as she recounted the events to Ye Shang in fits and starts.
Upon hearing this, Ye Shang's eyes widened, his face filled with astonishment and anger: "What! Putting everything else aside, fine! Ye Xuan, you're getting bolder and bolder, daring to come all the way from the capital here alone!"
"Don't you know how dangerous it is outside? What if you run into bad guys and get kidnapped?" As he spoke, Ye Shang felt as if his head was about to explode, and waves of excruciating pain surged through him.
However, just as he was about to continue scolding Ye Xuan, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of her pitiful appearance—her head was lowered, her hands were tightly clutching the hem of her clothes, and her eyes were full of fear and helplessness, which made people feel sorry for her.
Ye Shang sighed helplessly, and the anger in his heart dissipated by more than half in an instant.
"Sigh... never mind, I'll talk to the teacher about it. Since it's already like this, come back with me for now. But you have to stay put and don't wander off, understand?"
After finishing his sentence, Ye Shang quickly paid the cafe bill, then stood up, took Ye Xuan's soft hand with one hand, picked up her luggage with the other, and strode towards his rented apartment.

at the same time.
On the other side of Jiangli City.
Mu Qing suddenly opened her tightly closed eyes, her gaze revealing a hint of excitement and anticipation.
A new Gate has appeared; you can try to activate it!
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhuo, who was sitting idly to the side fiddling with his hair, instantly perked up.
He straightened up abruptly and strode towards the door without hesitation.
However, before Ye Zhuo could take a few steps, Mu Qing's voice came again: "Wait, you can't interfere with this mission. Leave it all to the Minotaur (Phantom), understand?" Mu Qing's gaze was fixed on Ye Zhuo's back as she spoke calmly.
Ye Zhuo paused for a moment, but only for a fleeting instant.
Immediately afterwards, he continued walking out without looking back, while raising his hand and making a big OK sign upwards.
Then, a flash of light appeared, and Ye Zhuo's figure instantly disappeared from the spot, leaving only a gentle breeze.
Watching Ye Zhuo leave, Mu Qing narrowed her eyes slightly and muttered to herself: "Wizard, I wonder what choice you will make this time!"
