Ye Guan shook his head, perplexed about the meaning of the word girlfriend in the Milky Way. He thought hard and long but couldn't figure out the answer. In the end, he shook his head dismissively and went to sleep.

Meanwhile, Su Mu downstairs was stupefied as he stared at the corpses on the floor. Li Zichen, the young master of the Li Family, was one of the corpses. Ye Guan had killed them all in the proverbial blink of an eye.

The black-robed old man walked up to Su Mu. He cast a grim gaze at the deceased elder beside Li Zichen. With a somber tone, he said, "He's at least in the Third Stage of the Yaoguang Realm.”

The Yaoguang Realm was divided into nine stages. The majority of Huaxia's martial artists were on the Yaoguang Realm. A martial artist in the third stage wasn't that strong, but martial artists like them were worthy of respect in Baiyun City.

"And he was killed with a single blow," the black-robed old man added.

Su Mu fell silent, contemplating something. He looked up at the second floor of the building before him and frowned. Just who exactly was Ye Guan? He was not only strong, but he was decisive and ruthless as well.

Was he really just interested in Su Zi?

Su Mu couldn't help but feel a bit worried. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and dismissed his concerns.

"Go ahead and clean these up. Send Li Zichen's remains back to his family.”

The black-robed old man hesitated. "Should we say it was done by the Su Family or by Mr. Ye?"

"Our family did all this, of course!" Su Mu was furious. "He's our benefactor, and it's about time we repay the favor."

"Understood." The black-robed man nodded and left.

...

An ominous gloom shrouded Li Mingbo's face as he clenched his fists while staring at the lifeless Li Zichen before him.

A middle-aged man stood not too far away from him.

Li Mingbo turned to the middle-aged man.

"Who was that man?" he asked coldly.

The middle-aged man shook his head and replied, "Our investigation bore zero results."

"Zero?" Li Mingbo frowned and asked, "Nothing at all?”

The middle-aged man nodded and explained, "All we know is that he recently appeared from out of nowhere and got into an accident involving Mu Wanyu. He was then subsequently hospitalized. After getting discharged, he then got acquainted with the Su Family. That's all we know..."

Li Mingbo remarked, "He was extremely ruthless."

The middle-aged man nodded and added, "Every move he made was lethal.”

Li Mingbo stared at Li Zichen and spoke, "We shouldn't act hastily. The Su Family is surely on high alert at the moment, so it would be foolish to strike now. Moreover, we lack information about that man. Acting recklessly might bring great trouble, so..."

Li Mingbo's eyes narrowed as he continued. "We'll hire helpers.”

There was no way he wouldn't avenge his grandson. He turned to the middle-aged man and said, "Go to the Boundless Club and seek their assistance in investigating that man's background."

"Understood," said the middle-aged man with a bow. He turned around and left the room, leaving Li Mingbo by himself.

Li Mingbo's gaze landed on the lifeless Li Zichen once more, and his expression turned cold as he muttered, "You even chopped his head off. Is this a warning toward us?”

"Come," Li Mingbo muttered, and a black-robed figure appeared behind him.

Li Mingbo didn't even turn around as he coldly said, "I want you to summon the people of the Future Clan. Tell them that they can set the price.”

...

The morning sun spilled into the room, and Ye Guan opened his eyes slowly. He stretched leisurely and turned to the dining table. Two bowls of noodles and two glasses of milk were on the dining table.

Ye Guan smiled as he approached the dining table.

Just then, Su Zi walked out of her room. Today, she was wearing a sleek black dress that accentuated her tall, alluring figure. Fashion in the Milky Way was more daring compared to the fashion in the Guanxuan Universe.

Su Zi was somehow effortlessly balancing both boldness and elegance.

Su Zi's makeup was light, but her vibrant and luscious lips exuded a cool, sensual charm. Sensing Ye Guan's gaze, Su Zi's heart quickened. She walked to the dining table and whispered, "I want you to come with me to the company after breakfast."

Ye Guan nodded with a smile. "Of course."

He then began savoring the noodles that Mu Wanyu had to have made for him until he noticed that Su Zi wasn't eating. Ye Guan cast a curious gaze upon her and asked, "Why are you not eating?"

Su Zi smiled gently and said, "I'm not hungry."

"Is that so?" Ye Guan smiled and said, "I'll eat your portion as well!"

Su Zi chuckled. "Go ahead." novelbuddy.co(m)

Ye Guan wiped out two bowls of noodles and finally turned to Su Zi. "Ready to go?"

Su Zi nodded, and they went downstairs. Three cars were waiting for them outside, and there were three well-dressed men inside the cars.

Ye Guan recognized them. They were Su Zi's bodyguards.

Ye Guan pondered briefly before saying, "I think I'll pass on joining you this time."

Su Zi turned to Ye Guan and asked, "Why?"

Ye Guan smiled lightly and explained, "You already have bodyguards."

"No, you have to come with me," Su Zi said with a shake of her head. "We had a deal, and you're not allowed to back out."

Ye Guan thought about it briefly before nodding. "All right."

The bodyguard opened the door, allowing Ye Guan and Su Zi to hop into the back passenger seats. The car soon got onto the road, and both Su Zi and Ye Guan were silent as the car ran down the road.

Ye Guan gazed out the window at the bustling cityscape. The city was lively and vibrant; every single person on the street had their own destination and business to handle, but the air was tainted with pollution that Ye Guan could hardly stand.

Ye Guan's mindset had shifted greatly during his time here. He had never really understood the daily life of ordinary people, but here, he had to work if he wanted to eat and survive. He truly felt like he was living the life of an ordinary person.

Regardless, last night's incident reminded Ye Guan that this world wasn't as kind as he thought. The city was full of hidden dangers, and one would be at the mercy of their own fate so long as they weren't strong enough to fight back against their fight.

Ye Guan finally realized that the daily life of ordinary people was more like a daily struggle to survive rather than live; they struggled incessantly, not because they wanted to do so but because they simply had no choice.

"What are you thinking about?" Su Zi asked.

Ye Guan snapped out of his thoughts, shook his head slightly, and remained silent.

Su Zi looked a bit disheartened. Clearly, she thought that Ye Guan was still upset about her reaction last night.

"Stop the car, please," Su Zi said.

"Certainly, Miss," replied the driver. The driver parked the car, and Su Zi led Ye Guan out. Ye Guan was about to ask her what was going on, but Su Zi pulled him and started walking away until they found themselves standing in a shop.

Su Zi pointed at a smartphone while standing in front of the counter.

“That one, please," she said.

"Great choice!" the clerk exclaimed.

"Please help us with the SIM card," Su Zi added.

The clerk nodded and got to work. After a while, the clerk handed the phone over to Su Zi. She fiddled with it for a moment before handing it over to Ye Guan. "It's yours."

Ye Guan's gaze was full of curiosity as he stared at the smartphone. He could still remember Erya using this gadget before, and he had always been pretty curious about what it was since he first saw it.

Su Zi blinked and asked, "Do you know how to use it?"

Ye Guan shook his head.

Su Zi's lips curled up into a smile. "Let me teach you in the car."

"Okay," Ye Guan agreed.

After leaving the store, Su Zi led Ye Guan back to the car.

Once the two had settled in their seats, Su Zi took Ye Guan's phone and began teaching him how to use it.

Ye Guan seemed surprised as he muttered, "Are you saying that we can talk to each other if I press these numbers?"

Su Zi nodded. "That's right."

"It's like a long-distance sound transmission talisman..." Ye Guan muttered.

"You can say that!" Su Zi chuckled and said, "However, I heard that the Milky Way Clan's technology is far more advanced than our Blue Planet."

Ye Guan nodded upon being reminded of Qin Guan's strange artifacts that were so strong they allowed her to take on Great Sovereigns without making a move herself.

Ye Guan curiously explored his smartphone. He had asked quite a few dumb questions, which rendered the driver speechless. Had this guy been living under a rock?

At one point, Ye Guan pressed a button.

A buzzing noise echoed from Su Zi's back.

Su Zi took out her phone and pressed a button. "Hello."

Ye Guan was stunned to hear Su Zi's voice from the smartphone.

Then, he chuckled. Modern technology was indeed wondrous. Ye Guan was no stranger to modern technology, as Qin Guan was his mother. However, Ye Guan never really had the time to fiddle with such things, so Ye Guan vowed to learn more about modern technology upon returning to the Guanxuan Universe.

"How much was this?" Ye Guan asked, "I'll pay you back!"

Su Zi calmly replied, "I'll just deduct it from your salary next month."

"Next month?" Ye Guan was taken aback. Hadn't he told her that he was planning on quitting next month?

Su Zi smiled sweetly when Ye Guan hadn't said anything about her remark.

Soon, the two arrived at the Su Corporation's main building.

The two found themselves in the office on the top floor, and a female secretary walked into the office with a stack of documents. Su Zi started to get busy with work, and Ye Guan chose not to disturb her. He looked around and found a bookshelf. He walked over to the bookshelf and began examining the books on the shelf until his gaze landed on a certain book.

Seduced in the Sea of Desires? Ye Guan picked it up. The book was so explicit at the beginning that Ye Guan had almost put it down. However, the captivating story made Ye Guan continue reading. The book was all about a group of four women protecting a village from villains.

Ye Guan's brown got tighter and tighter the deeper he got into the story. For some reason, the plot was familiar to him.

Ye Guan picked up the pace and discovered that even the writing style had gotten familiar in his eyes. Ye Guan decided to flip over to the first page of the book and found the following words—written by Stone Village.

Stone Village! Ye Guan froze.

Was the writer the True God? If that were the case, how come one of her books was here? Was she in the Milky Way as well?

Ye Guan was stupefied. The book he was holding was undoubtedly the work of the True God. He had seen some ancient texts that she had written before, and the writing style of those texts was a hundred percent identical to the book in his hand.

Su Zi's gaze happened to land on Ye Guan, and her face instantly flushed red upon seeing the book in his hand.

"You... Why are you reading that book?" she asked.

"Miss Su, do you happen to know the author of this book?" Ye Guan asked.

"No, no, no. I don't know." Su Zi shook her head vigorously, looking a bit flustered as she said, "How would I know when I've never read that book?"

Ye Guan sighed and explained, "I know the author of this book—no, the author of this book is the sister of someone I know."

"Sister?" Su Zi asked, sounding puzzled.

Ye Guan nodded.

"I didn't buy this book. A friend from Yanjing sent it over to me," Su Zi said.

Ye Guan frowned. "Yanjing?"

Su Zi nodded. "Yes."

Ye Guan's expression turned serious. Could the True God be in Yanjing?

"Don't worry," Su Zi smiled and said, "We'll meet her tonight.”

Ye Guan was stunned.

Su Zi explained, “We're going to discuss something related to business, and we'll meet at the Boundless Club tonight."

"Didn’t you say that you were looking for someone and that the Boundless Club might give you clues? Tonight, we'll go there and spend some money to make sure that you'll become a member," Su Zi smiled and said, "We will then meet the club manager, and you can ask them questions.”

"We had booked a private room at the Cloud Merchants Grand Hotel, but Miss Su changed the venue just for you, Mr. Ye," the secretary chimed in.

"Nosy," Su Zi chided and glared at the secretary. "How about you go out and prepare the car?"

The secretary bowed slightly and walked outside with a grin.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan stared deeply at Su Zi and said, "Thank you."

"No need to be polite." Su Zi smiled. "However, you have to promise me one thing: you must behave once we're there."

"Sure,” Ye Guan said with a smile.

"Sure?" Su Zi blinked. "The ladies there are very beautiful, you know?"

Ye Guan shook his head. "Can they be more beautiful than you?"

"Am I really beautiful?" Su Zi asked.

"You're very beautiful," Ye Guan nodded and added, "You're sexy as well."

Su Zi's cheeks flushed red, and she broke out into a grin. It wasn't her first time receiving a compliment, but Ye Guan's compliment made her feel indescribably happy for some reason.

Just then, the secretary walked into the office and said, "Miss, the car is ready."

Su Zi nodded and looked at Ye Guan. "Let's go."

"All right, let's go." Ye Guan replied with a smile. Boundless Club, here I come!
