Yu Daochen didn't say much more and turned towards the door.
If he was a smart person, he would know what to do.
Outside the door, Guo Lian and Liu Xiaocheng saw Yu Daochen emerge and smiled broadly, "Farewell, Master Yu."
Yu Daochen looked at their subservient demeanor and reminded them, "Since you're in Jiangdu, abide by the rules. I don't want to be looking for you two next time, understand?"
They quickly nodded, agreeing profusely, "Understood, understood."
Yu Daochen nodded with satisfaction and walked downstairs.
The strength of these three couldn't even get them onto the Earth Ranking. If they didn't want to stay in Jiangdu forever, they knew what they should and shouldn't do.
Yu Daochen returned to the hotel from yesterday, planning to take the little girl back to the shop tomorrow.
In the private room from earlier, Guo Lian and Liu Xiaocheng returned to their seats.
Guo Lian slowly asked, "Brother You, are you really planning to return your lifespan to Han Hui?"
You Hai sighed and shook his head, "What else can I do? Do you think I can last a few rounds against the Kang Long Jian?"
"How do you plan to explain this to the sect?" Guo Lian continued to ask.
You Hai leaned back on the sofa, looking up at the purple light of the ceiling. "How can I explain? I have to offend one side anyway. Offending Yu Daochen means certain death, while offending the sect at least offers a glimmer of hope for survival."
"Sigh, if only we had known, we wouldn't have joined the Xi Shou Sect. It's all because money blinded our eyes," Liu Xiaocheng beside him lamented.
Half a month ago, a man calling himself a member of the Xi Shou Sect had found the three of them.
The man from the Xi Shou Sect invited the three of them to join, promising to pay each of them five hundred thousand yuan monthly if they worked for the sect.
They were unaffiliated and had unstable incomes. Upon hearing such a good offer, they immediately agreed and signed a contract.
When they arrived at the sect, they were injected with a secret technique that allowed them to be tracked no matter where they fled.
The Xi Shou Sect tasked them with taking people's lifespans, and they were required to take a certain amount each month. Failure to complete the mission meant no pay and immediate elimination.
Many others, mostly unaffiliated rogue cultivators, were deceived and brought in with them.
They had considered escaping, but without exception, those who tried were ruthlessly eliminated.
Taking lives was a sinful act, and if other sects found out, they would surely be executed. It was a path of no return.
"The person responsible for collecting lifespans hasn't left Jiangdu yet. I'll go find him tomorrow," You Hai continued.
Guo Lian and Liu Xiaocheng both sighed, remaining silent.
You Hai's trip was likely fraught with danger.
"Don't think too much about it. Come, let's have a drink," You Hai said with a smile, raising his glass.
Guo Lian and Liu Xiaocheng smiled faintly, clinked their glasses, and drank them dry.
You Hai chuckled, a lewd smile spreading across his face, "After drinking, I'll take you two to our usual spot for a massage. My treat."
"Sure, sure. I want the same girl as last time," Guo Lian licked his lips.
Liu Xiaocheng shook his head helplessly, "You two..."
"Come, let's drink!" You Hai raised his glass again.
Enjoy today's wine, worry about tomorrow's sorrow.
Whether they lived or died tomorrow, they would live for today.
The uncertain tomorrow would be left to fate.
Early morning~
Yu Daochen was still asleep when his phone rang. He picked up his phone and saw it was an unknown number.
He pressed the answer button and yawned, "Hello, who is this?"
"Master Yu, my appearance has returned to normal!" Han Hui exclaimed excitedly on the other end of the line.
Yu Daochen rubbed his eyes and sat up, "It's good that it's recovered. I'll come pick up the little girl in a moment."
Yu Daochen hadn't expected You Hai to be so efficient.
After confirming the location with Han Hui, Yu Daochen began to wash his face and brush his teeth.
Half an hour later.
Yu Daochen arrived at the entrance of a stylishly decorated restaurant. Just as he was about to call Han Hui, he saw a woman walk out.
She wore a white tight-fitting t-shirt and blue jeans, with her hair tied up high. Despite her simple attire, she exuded an aura of a mature woman.
But it had to be said that Han Hui was naturally very beautiful.
"Miss Han?" Yu Daochen asked, unsure.
Han Hui nodded and led Yu Daochen towards a private room in the restaurant.
Upon entering the room, he saw Yu Yijun holding two ice creams, wearing a pink Lolita dress, her golden hair styled in two pigtails.
She was as cute as could be, looking like she had stepped out of an anime.
"Daddy, look, look, does Auntie Han's new dress look good on me?" Yu Yijun ran to Yu Daochen, giggling.
Yu Daochen sighed. Seeing the little girl's demeanor, Han Hui had likely figured out the relationship between him and the little girl.
"It looks good. The little girl looks good in everything," Yu Daochen said, patting Yu Yijun's little head.
"Daddy, Auntie Han also bought me many pretty dresses." Yu Yijun said, looking at the four or five bags placed on the chair.
Yu Daochen looked at Han Hui beside him with slight embarrassment, "I'm sorry to have made you spend so much, Miss Han. I'll transfer you the money for these."
Han Hui shook her head and smiled, "Master Yu, you're too kind. Yunyun is so adorable, I wanted to buy them for her myself."
