In front of the noodles, the entire room brightened up, which indeed puzzled Li Rui.
Then Zhu Yunzhi raised his hand, and with a wave, a fierce light emanated from his palm, making Li Rui even more curious. He never expected that Zhu Yunzhi had such hidden depths, releasing a powerful aura from himself.
"Not simple," Li Rui shook his head. Zhu Yunzhi was truly an extraordinary person; he had never seen this side of him before.
Zhu Yunzhi then withdrew his hand, his expression returning to normal as he looked at Li Rui.
For Li Rui to cooperate? That required conditions; he was not someone who could be easily persuaded. At this moment, he also began to doubt whether Zhu Yunzhi was leading him into a deep pit. But wouldn't he find out if he tried?
Li Rui slowly sat down, and Zhu Yunzhi, being perceptive, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Li Rui.
Li Rui calmly took the cup of tea, opened his mouth slightly, and took a sip. The hot beverage felt refreshing against the heat.
Li Rui then asked, "Why do you want to cooperate with me? What is your purpose?" After Zhu Yunzhi's demonstration, Li Rui understood his capabilities. He simply asked because no matter how well they got along, they were still just partners, so he appeared particularly indifferent.
"The Boss above is the one truly manipulating everything!" Zhu Yunzhi replied candidly.
"Oh?" Li Rui was curious about why they needed to take such drastic measures against the mysterious figure above. Did they have some deep-seated grudge?
Zhu Yunzhi smiled slightly, "What? You still don't believe me?" His obsidian-like eyes fixed on Li Rui, who was drinking tea.
Looking into Zhu Yunzhi's determined gaze, for some reason, Li Rui chose to trust him. After all, there was a hint of hatred in Zhu Yunzhi's eyes earlier. Li Rui thought that Zhu Yunzhi must have feelings too; why shouldn't he seek revenge against an enemy?
Li Rui nodded slightly.
"No, I believe you." After saying this, a glimmer of light appeared on Zhu Yunzhi's face because he found it hard to imagine that Li Rui would trust him so easily.
Thus, the cooperation between the two began.
Li Rui relaxed his arms and simply said, "It's quite stuffy here; let's talk outside."
He thought that the people chasing after him outside probably wouldn't realize he had come here. Even if they could catch up to him, they should have gone ahead by now. Zhu Yunzhi nodded in agreement.
Two people walked under the deserted sycamore trees, the gentle breeze lifting the tips of their hair. At this moment, Li Rui exuded a more masculine charm.
"What else do you want to say?" Li Rui glanced back at Zhu Yunzhi, who was following him.
Zhu Yunzhi smiled, "Well then, let me share some news with you."
Hearing this, curiosity drove Li Rui to turn around and look at Zhu Yunzhi seriously.
"Li Rui, do you know? What you see now is just the tip of the iceberg of this organization." This statement indeed surprised him, but he maintained a calm demeanor, reflecting on what Zhu Yunzhi had said about wanting to eliminate the mysterious figure above Boss. It was clear that this organization was merely the tip of the iceberg, and he realized he might know too little about it.
Li Rui nodded. "Then from now on, let's work hard together." He extended his hand, and Zhu Yunzhi did the same; they clasped hands in agreement!
The two of them worked together diligently. After discussing what to do next, Zhu Yunzhi eventually compromised.
"From now on, just follow me," Li Rui said calmly. Zhu Yunzhi had no choice but to accept since there were no better options available. Li Rui then smiled, "From now on, you will be my junior."
A smile appeared at the corner of Zhu Yunzhi's mouth. Li Rui was indeed capable; following him wouldn't pose any major problems. However, how to proceed next was what Zhu Yunzhi was most concerned about.
"What should we do next?" Zhu Yunzhi asked, looking at Li Rui with curiosity.
Li Rui fell silent and didn't respond. Zhu Yunzhi didn't press further. In the following days, Zhu Yunzhi closely followed Li Rui, who was acting as Captain. At that moment, Zhu Yunzhi felt like Li Rui's junior, and this role made Li Rui feel a bit proud.
Time passed in this manner, and neither of them took significant actions.
Li Rui thought that he couldn't continue living such a leisurely life but had no good solutions, so he spent his days drinking away his sorrows.
Under the moonlight and starlight, Li Rui quietly lay beneath the moon while drinking alone. Zhu Yunzhi didn't have a strong tolerance for alcohol and soon got drunk and fell asleep early. As for Li Rui, it wasn't so simple; he enjoyed the moonlight alone while the air was filled with the fragrance of fresh flowers.
The evening breeze rustled through the sparse leaves, creating a crisp sound. Suddenly, Li Rui's ears perked up as he heightened his vigilance because he sensed that there were people in his surroundings!
He sprang up abruptly but couldn't hear any distinct footsteps. As his alertness increased, Huifen entered the scene and walked towards him.
"What's wrong? Do I always scare you?" Her melodious voice made Li Rui's heart soften instantly; however, in certain aspects, he felt a bit hardened because at that moment under the moonlight stood a beautiful woman. Hui Fen wore a pink dress with her long hair flowing down to her waist in the wind. Her stunning face made Li Rui's heart race uncontrollably. He also envied her long legs and recalled how he had been fondling them that day; it felt quite pleasurable. Looking further up, Hui Fen's ample bosom was even more enticing; Li Rui couldn't help but think about pulling her close and savoring her deeply.
Li Rui was lost in a fantasy while cultivating. After a while, he returned to reality, "Ah, no, I just got used to it. Huifen, don't mind me." Li Rui awkwardly scratched his head and smiled.
Huifen, however, was unconcerned and held a cup of tea in her hand.
"It's fine, stop drinking alcohol. Have some tea to sober up," Hui Fen said as she handed the tea to Li Rui. The air was filled with the fragrant aroma of the tea.
Li Rui swayed slightly due to his drunkenness, but his reaction was very genuine. At that moment, Huifen's concern for him made it even harder for Li Rui to control himself. He reached out to take the tea.
As Li Rui reached out, he accidentally brushed against Hui Fen's delicate and fair wrist. In an instant, it felt like an electric shock; her gentle hand was so pleasant to touch, almost like a fairy...
Hui Fen also felt the contact and blushed slightly, lowering her head shyly.
Seeing this, Li Rui smiled and decided to take advantage of his drunkenness.
"What do you mean by saying I'm good at touching?" Li Rui asked casually with a nonchalant expression.
