Chapter 154 That bastard's apology is better ignored.

Huo Yuchen spoke very frankly; it was a true expression of his inner thoughts.

What was supposed to be a heartfelt confession to Meng Qianqian turned into a feeling of unease. Instead of being happy, Meng Qianqian felt even more upset.

Huo Yuchen's words were undoubtedly an admission that, in his eyes, Meng Qianqian's appearance was indeed worse than many others.

And indeed, this is true; there are countless women around Huo Yuchen who are more beautiful than Meng Qianqian.

Not to mention the exceptional looks of Feng Yin and Shen Baisu, even those who are not as good-looking as Feng Yin and Shen Baisu are still prettier than Meng Qianqian.

Huo Yuchen meets many people who are prettier than Meng Qianqian every day.

Thinking of this, Meng Qianqian, who was originally happy to reunite with Huo Yuchen, suddenly became very unhappy.

However, she didn't show any displeasure. Instead, she smiled at Huo Yuchen and said, "What you said makes some sense. It seems I was overthinking it. Our Brother Chen is still as devoted and affectionate as he was when we left."

After saying that, Meng Qianqian took Huo Yuchen's hand and pulled him outside, saying, "Let's go home."

Huo Yuchen smiled gently as she led him forward. They had only taken a few steps when they reached the corner.

The road was not far away, and Meng Qianqian spotted Shen Baisu and Feng Yin waiting by the roadside at a glance.

Meng Qianqian paused, subconsciously glancing at Huo Yuchen.

Clearly, Huo Yuchen also saw Shen Baisu and Feng Yin. The two were standing right where Huo Yuchen had parked his car, and Huo Yuchen frowned instinctively upon seeing this.

Some wild guesses inevitably arose in my mind.

However, just as the speculation began, a car stopped in front of Shen Baisu and Feng Yin, and they got in.

The car that picked them up was a very ordinary brand, but the design was very unique. Huo Yuchen felt that the design of the car looked very familiar, so he glanced at its license plate - Emperor J.00101.

Upon seeing the license plate, Huo Yuchen was slightly taken aback. Although he had never seen that car before, he knew that cars starting with "Di J" were exclusively used by the military in the capital.

How could Shen Baisu, the daughter of a merchant, have any connection with people in the military?

"Brother Chen, what are you looking at?"

Huo Yuchen was puzzled when he suddenly heard Meng Qianqian's voice in his ear.

Huo Yuchen shook his head at her, "It's okay, let's go."

Seeing his preoccupied appearance, Meng Qianqian bit her lip secretly, a fleeting gloom in her eyes.

**
Shen Baisu and Feng Yin got into the car that Xia Yanqing had helped them call.

Although Xia Yanqing did not return to the capital with the two of them, she arranged for someone to pick them up. Shen Baisu and Feng Yin waited outside the airport for a while before the driver arrived.

After getting in the car, Feng Yin suddenly asked about what happened at the airport earlier, "Junior Sister, who was that guy at the airport? He seemed to know you."

Shen Baisu: "Not familiar with each other."

Upon hearing this, Feng Yin continued, "You don't seem to like him very much?"

Shen Baisu: "It's not that it seems like it, it's just that I don't like it."

When Shen Baisu said she didn't like Huo Yuchen, it wasn't the kind of dislike where she neither liked nor disliked him, but rather the kind of dislike where her favorability rating was negative.

Shen Qi is no good, and neither is Huo Yuchen.

As the head of the Huo family, Huo Yuchen could have easily prevented Shen Qi from even seeing him with just a word if he didn't want to, but he didn't do that.

He let Shen Qi hover around him, simply because Shen Baisu and Meng Qianqian looked alike, and he wanted to see Shen Qi and think of Meng Qianqian.

Not only Shen Baisu, Huo Yuchen also kept several stand-ins around him, all of whom looked like Meng Qianqian. Shen Baisu's eyes were very similar to Meng Qianqian's. Of all the stand-ins, Huo Yuchen liked Shen Qi the most.

So, while he hated Shen Qi's pestering, he let her hang around him, and sometimes he would even take her shopping.

Seeing his reaction, Shen Qi preferred to believe that there was a problem with his affection level rather than that Huo Yuchen had ulterior motives for letting her stay by his side.

Later, when Meng Qianqian appeared, Huo Yuchen distanced himself from all the stand-ins, including Shen Qi.

After Shen Qi noticed that Huo Yuchen refused to see Meng Qianqian after she appeared, she began to target and frame Meng Qianqian...

In short, neither Shen Qi nor Huo Yuchen are good people.

Feng Yin blinked after hearing Shen Baisu's words and said, "Since you don't like it, why did you stop me when I made him apologize to you?" Shen Baisu replied, "I don't want to see that bastard again."

"Besides, I don't really want to hear that bastard apologize."

A verbal apology is actually pretty useless. Besides, even if that bastard Huo Yuchen did apologize, it wouldn't be sincere. It's better not to listen to it.

Feng Yin: "...Okay."

"But what exactly is your grudge against him? Tell me." Shen Baisu rarely said she disliked someone directly. Feng Yin was curious about what Huo Yuchen had done to Shen Baisu, so she grabbed Shen Baisu's arm and asked her.

Shen Baisu naturally wouldn't tell her that she had been a sycophant to Huo Yuchen, so she rejected him without hesitation.

Feng Yin refused to give up and kept pestering Shen Baisu to tell her the story.

"Junior sister, tell me about it, please tell me about it~"

Feng Yin was born with a beautiful voice. When she used her voice to act coquettishly, it was charming and alluring. Shen Baisu couldn't resist and told Feng Yin the truth.

After listening, Feng Yin blinked and said, "You couldn't even seduce five men at the same time, you're no good... Oh, it's that Shen Qi, her methods are too bad, she can't even handle five men."

Shen Baisu did not refute Feng Yin.

Compared to Feng Yin, Shen Qi is indeed inferior. After all, for Feng Yin, winning over men is as easy as eating.

If Feng Yin wanted to, there probably wouldn't be many men in the world that she couldn't handle.

**
On the day he returned to the capital, Shen Baisu gave his students two lessons.

One lesson is given to students who have not yet successfully guided Qi into their bodies, and another lesson is given to students who have already successfully guided Qi into their bodies.

After finishing the two classes, Shen Baisu received a call from Su Qing.

"Sister?"

Upon hearing Shen Baisu's voice, Su Qing went straight to the point and talked about the situation at Nan Jin Lake. "I've been to Nan Jin Lake. There is indeed a formation there, but as you know, neither Mu Ye nor I are very knowledgeable about formations. The people who came to me did hire some professionals to study it, but I'm not sure if they can handle it. Would you like to take a look?"

After listening, Shen Baisu simply said, "Let me think about it first."

"Let's see if they can figure it out tonight. If not, I'll come to Yaocheng tomorrow."

Su Qing: "Okay, I'll let you know tomorrow morning."

"Where is Fifth Junior Sister? If you return to Yaocheng, will she come with you?"

Shen Baisu nodded, "Of course."

Su Qing: "Okay, send me a message before takeoff, and I'll pick you two up at the right time."

"it is good."

Su Qing was busy with something, so she didn't chat with Shen Baisu for too long and hung up the phone after finishing her business.

"Teacher Su, are you leaving again?"

As soon as Shen Baisu hung up the phone, a female voice rang in his ear.

Shen Baisu turned her head and saw Min Yu looking at her with a somewhat downcast expression.

Shen Baisu: "It's not certain yet. How's it going? Is your cultivation progressing smoothly lately?"

Upon hearing Shen Baisu mention cultivation, Min Yu's attention was diverted. "It's not going too well. I happen to have some questions I'd like to ask you."

As she spoke, Min Yu brought up all the problems she had encountered in the past few days and asked Shen Baisu about them one by one.

"Third Miss, something terrible has happened!"

Shen Baisu had just finished explaining the problem to Min Yu when Uncle Lin rushed over in a panic.

Shen Baisu turned her head to look at him, her eyes questioning.

"The master said the old lady is ill and in critical condition. He wants you to rush back immediately!"
