Gai Chuanjing, who always prided himself on being a gentleman, simply couldn’t believe the reality before him. He slumped to the ground, his eyes hollow, unable to co to his senses for a long ti.
Their mission this ti had failed so utterly that the Lord would certainly not let them go. What should he do now? What should he do?
Feeling that he had reached a dead end and was completely at his wits’ end, a crazy idea suddenly surged in Gai Chuanjing’s mind.
If he went back, he’d be facing death anyway; it might be better to die right here, at least he would have company!
Gai Chuanjing got up chanically, found Anzumiko’s dagger, and returned to where Anzumiko was, laying her upon the bed with care.
He stared dully at Anzumiko for a long ti, then slowly got onto the bed and lay down beside her.
Then, he raised the dagger in his hand and plunged it fiercely into his own abdon.
The next day.
The news that Anzumiko was killed by her boyfriend Gai Chuanjing in a scandal, and that Gai Chuanjing, after killing her, committed suicide out of devotion to her, once again beca the headline, causing a sensation throughout Shenzhou Country.
Because Anzumiko and Gai Chuanjing were international students, the relevant departnts took their responsibilities very seriously, securing the scene right after the incident occurred, and notified the embassy of Sun Country, inviting them to investigate and verify the truth.
It was confird that Anzumiko indeed had been killed by Gai Chuanjing, who had indeed committed suicide.
The embassy of Sun Country was left without a plausible explanation.
This scandal, once leaked back to Sun Country, made the Lord absolutely furious.
Subsequently, representatives from the Sun Country embassy received a phone call from their holand, instructing them to send the bodies of Anzumiko and Gai Chuanjing back to the country imdiately.
In a mountain villa sowhere in Sun Country, a man was muttering to himself in the direction of Shenzhou Country, "It seems I must take matters into my own hands. Shen Tianxing, I hope you don’t disappoint !"
That sa evening, the respected Lord from Sun Country boarded a plane from Sun Country to the Capital City of Shenzhou Country, headed for his target, Shen Tianxing.
After the incident with Anzumiko and Gai Chuanjing, Shen Tianxing too wondered if Sun Country might send soone to cause trouble here. She calculated her recent fortunes and found no ominous ons, which struck her as strange.
But since there were no bad ons, she decided not to think too much of it.
If danger were truly approaching, she would certainly have a premonition.
Without Anzumiko and Gai Chuanjing, the Departnt of Traditional Chinese dicine also beca more harmonious.
As Shen Tianxing was studying with her classmates, she also joined the Institute of Traditional Chinese dicine of Shenzhou Country at Sun Datong’s request, becoming one of its high-profile mbers.
Shen Tianxing thought, if the traditional Chinese dicines she developed could benefit people all over the world, then the rit she received would surely be imnse.
It was for this reason that she did not refuse Sun Datong’s invitation and joined the national Institute of Traditional Chinese dicine.
Dugu Zixi also returned from his mission, once again bringing back a first-class military dal.
For him, earning military dals was as easy as eating a al, causing the n in the military to both envy him and admire him greatly.
Ti flew, and in the blink of an eye, the eve of the International Wine Festival had arrived.
Shen Tianxing was also set to take her Spiritual Wine, along with the Shenzhou Country delegation, to the capital of the Federal Empire, Eternal City, to participate in the grand competition of the International Wine Festival.
Shen Tianxing had great confidence in her Spiritual Wine and, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this year’s championship was surely hers.
Like Shen Tianxing, there were others who had great confidence in their own wines, such as the world’s most famous international rchants Ruffi Bull, Benny Fer, and John Chivas.
These three most renowned international rchants had monopolized the championship for the previous editions.
This ti around, they naturally considered the first prize as sothing they were destined to win.
They saw each other as formidable opponents but scoffed at the representatives from Shenzhou Country, not even considering the eternal losers beneath their notice.
Even at the gathering before the competition, they openly mocked and insulted the wine rchant representatives from Shenzhou Country, using terms like "decorative greenery" and "stepping stones" to describe them.
What they didn’t know was that this ti, reality was going to slap them hard in the face.
The plane carrying Shen Tianxing and the Shenzhou delegation slowly landed at the international airport of Eternal City.
The organizers of the International Wine Festival had sent people and vehicles to pick them up and bring them to Changdao Manor, the venue for this international competition.
Changdao Manor, owned by the prominent Moore Family of the Federal Empire, was said to have been built in the eighteenth century and covered more than a hundred acres. Inside, there was not only a castle-style luxury mansion but also vast vineyards, a winery, as well as gardens, lawns, swimming pools, and more...
When Shen Tianxing and her group arrived, most representatives from around the world were already there.
In the eyes of these foreigners, Shen Tianxing, with her beauty akin to an Eastern Angel, also instantly caught their attention.
Fine wines and beautiful won have always complented each other.
Jas Moore, the young master of the Moore family, approached with a warm smile, "Welco, envoys from the East. I am the owner of this manor, Jas Moore. We are honored by your presence and hope you will find your stay here pleasant and joyful."
As he spoke, his eyes were fixated on Shen Tianxing without wavering.
Upon noticing Jas’s wolf-like gaze, the head of the delegation, Sheng Jingtong, subtly stepped in front of Shen Tianxing, shielding her behind him.
He extended both hands towards Jas, smiling, "Thank you very much for Mr. Moore’s warm hospitality. I believe we will have a very pleasant and joyful visit."
When Jas saw that Sheng Jingtong blocked his view of Shen Tianxing’s lovely figure, he felt displeased internally.
But outwardly, he couldn’t show anger toward Sheng Jingtong and could only respond with a forced smile, "This manor belongs to our family, and I am very familiar with it. I am very willing to serve you all, so let take you through the check-in procedures."
Sheng Jingtong did not miss the flash of displeasure in Jas’s eyes, but he likewise maintained a warm attitude towards Jas, "Then on behalf of everyone, I thank you, Mr. Moore."
Jas laughed repeatedly, "Not at all, not at all. Please give your docunts!"
Jas thought to himself, once he had their docunts, he would know the na of that Eastern Angel.
With the young master of the Moore family personally handling their check-in procedures, Sheng Jingtong and the others were of course willing, so they handed over their passports to Jas to register.
