Return of the King, Chapter 1521 - 1506: The Scheme Begins

Chapter 1521: Chapter 1506: The Sche Begins

"What’s going on here?" Song Yun watched Qingluan playing word gas with the white-haired woman, feeling a bit puzzled. At the sa ti, he was confused by the white-haired woman’s words; this seed to be defending Qingluan.

Could it be that I’ve wronged Qingluan sohow?

"With Qingluan’s talent, if it weren’t for the obsession with you in her heart, she would have long since reached legendary status," the white-haired woman turned to look at Song Yun and said, "It’s precisely because of the concern she holds for you that this concern has beco her barrier to advancent. I’ve seen too many talented individuals stop just short of legend due to such attachnts, and Qingluan, whom I’ve seen, has the best talent, yet she too has halted progress because of this attachnt to you. You owe Qingluan."

After speaking, the white-haired woman turned deeply gazing at Qingluan and said, "Qingluan, if you are willing to let go of this obsession, I am willing to teach you everything I know."

"No need, elder," Qingluan shook her head and said, "Qingluan feels that she has learned what she needs to know, and wherever I end up in the end, Qingluan, I no longer hold any strong desires. With no desire, one stands strong; without desire, one is invincible."

"You... well, I hope your choice is the right one." The white-haired woman shook her head, turned, and left without saying another word to Song Yun.

"Qingluan, you..." Song Yun looked at Qingluan with a slightly complicated expression, just about to say sothing, when Qingluan’s face broke into a smile so captivating it could bewitch thousands, then gently took Song Yun’s hand and said, "I missed you very much."

"Ah."

Song Yun was montarily stunned.

"During my days on the mountain, I thought of you every day," Qingluan said. "The master wanted

to give up attachnts and beco legendary, but I couldn’t do it. However, I also have my own path to walk. So, Song Yun, now I am, in fact, even better than before."

"Qingluan..."

Song Yun earnestly said, "To , it doesn’t matter whether you’re powerful or not, really. I don’t want you living entirely as if just for . You should have your own pursuits, your life. I am a man, and I’ve been continually improving. I now believe I have the strength to protect you, so Qingluan, please don’t strive to improve yourself for

anymore. In the future, just stand behind , and I’ll handle whatever cos up, okay?"

Qingluan looked at Song Yun with slight surprise and then squinted her eyes with a smile.

"The current you are quite charming," Qingluan said.

"I’ve always been charming, don’t you think?" Song Yun rubbed the back of his head and said proudly.

"Take

on a tour of your school," Qingluan said. "If I guess correctly, you should be leaving here soon, right?"

"Mm, Shishi is about to give birth, so... Qingluan, shall we head to the capital together, is that alright?" Song Yun asked.

"Mm, I won’t leave you again," Qingluan said. "Just as you said, I’ll stand behind you, and you must protect , right?"

"That’s right, exactly like that."

Song Yun smiled, took Qingluan’s hand, and said, "Let’s go, I’ll show you around."

Qingluan, in the end, returned.

She gave up the opportunity to beco legendary and returned to Song Yun’s side. As for how much Qingluan’s strength had really improved, that will only be revealed in ti.

Song Yun took Qingluan around the school, causing quite a stir throughout Danfu University. Known for its abundance of beauties, with several at the celebrity level, Danfu University had never seen soone like Qingluan. Her appearance completely stunned many people.

Almost everyone was so srized by Qingluan’s overwhelming beauty that they lost the ability to think straight.

Combined with her unparalleled ethereal temperant, it took no more than a few minutes for Qingluan to beco the dream girl of all the male students and even so female admirers at Danfu University.

Because of this, Song Yun felt a lot of pressure, jokingly saying that this is just how it is for guys like him — he’s never short on beautiful won around him, so others might as well envy and spite him.

Many wished they could pull Song Yun out and replace him, even if only for a second, and even knowing they’d be replaced themselves imdiately, they wouldn’t regret it. Being able to hold the hand of such a goddess would be worth a lifeti.

So even tried to chat Qingluan up right in front of Song Yun.

For those people, Qingluan simply smiled and shook her head, not saying a word. Eventually, those who had intended to persist found themselves unable to stay in front of her after seeing Qingluan’s smile.

This gentle smile has the power to dissolve any kind of negative emotion in the world.

All the n smiled upon by Qingluan felt as though the world had brightened; they felt they should continue contributing to societal progress instead of getting caught up in matters of romance.

Song Yun could only express helplessness about this.

While Qingluan and Song Yun were touring the school, on the other side,

After taking over the Wen Comrce Association, Wen Changlin, without any apparent reason, began plotting against the system in sh and especially against Ma ChunTian.

Under Wen Changlin’s instructions, countless funds were withdrawn from sh, and many companies even relocated directly out of sh.

Generally speaking, private comrcial organizations don’t dare to attack local systems; simply put, no matter how the system offends you, you have to appease it. Why? Because you can’t run a business without their support. Otherwise, they could perform a tax check today, a hygiene check tomorrow, and a fire drill the day after that, leaving you unable to conduct business.

But the organization controlled by Wen Changlin was different. Wen Changlin himself had a very strong background, and with this deep background, he was truly unafraid of how Ma ChunTian might retaliate. Moreover, Ma ChunTian also did not dare to retaliate too strongly against Wen Changlin, especially now that Wen Changlin had taken control of the Wen Comrce Association, further adding to Wen Changlin’s leverage.

"Hmph."

At this mont.

In Ma ChunTian’s office.

Ma ChunTian coldly snorted while looking at the report brought in by his subordinates, "Wen Changlin, oh Wen Changlin, though there were misunderstandings and conflicts with your daughter and Lele, we settled it once ourselves. I thought you would let it be, but after taking over the Wen Comrce Association, you’ve intensified your actions. Withdrawing capital, alright, let’s see how far you can go with this."

Just then, Ma ChunTian’s phone suddenly rang.

This was Ma ChunTian’s private number, which generally no one would call. If soone did manage to reach it, it would surely be a trusted confidant or soone very close.

Of course, even people like Song Yun have Ma ChunTian’s private number because soone like Song Yun qualifies to have it.
