The moment Li Wan-ning completely vanished into the night, the Scroll of Deification in Lu Ming's hand also returned to calm.

  Only then did Qin Churan realize, "So you let Li Wan-ning go because you sensed the Scroll of Deification resonating?"

  Recalling the words once spoken by the bck cloak, Lu Ming said with some excitement, "Once an Agent of the Gods appears nearby, the Scroll of Deification will resonate."

  "For the past two days, I've met countless people, yet the scroll remained unresponsive until just now when it finally resonated for the first time!"

  Although this resonance pointed to Li Wan-ning.

  The strange thing was that when Lu Ming tried to use the Scroll of Deification just now, he couldn't crush it!

  What was going on?

  "Could it be that Li Wan-ning is indeed one of the chosen agents of the Goddess Nyx, but she hasn't completed the prerequisite contract conditions, so the scroll can't be used?"

  "What exactly are the contract conditions for the Goddess Nyx?"

  Gazing in the direction where Li Wan-ning left, Lu Ming fell into deep thought.

  Looking up at the intense light in Lu Ming's eyes, Qin Churan wished fervently that she was the one chosen by the Goddess Nyx.

  That way, she could also gain divine power, become stronger, and not be, as Li Wan-ning said, just a stumbling block on Lu Ming's path to success.

  "But Nyx's choice is ultimately not me..."

  Qin Churan understood the weight of being an Agent of the Gods and knew that Lu Ming was searching for other agents to join forces against the impending revival of ghosts and save humanity's future.

  So she could only pretend to be happy and say to Lu Ming, "But finding an agent is at least the first step towards success! As for the contract conditions, we'll figure them out slowly ter!"

  "Yeah." Lu Ming put the Scroll of Deification back into his backpack.

  The three of them then returned to Starlight City.

  By now, it was already half-past midnight.

  The daily Arena attempts had refreshed.

  Qin Churan didn't log off with Lu Ming and Lin Youwei but went alone to the Duel Arena in Starlight City to participate in the competition.

  "Even if you can't become an Agent of the Gods, it doesn't mean you're destined to be weak."

  "As long as you work hard enough, even as a mortal, one day you can become a strong figure in the Sky Abyss world, comparable to the gods!"

  Driven by this obsession, Qin Churan spent half an hour completing thirty Arena matches.

  With her outstanding abilities, she achieved another thirty consecutive victories!

  Just as she was feeling a bit tired and ready to log off for a rest, the figure she disliked appeared before her again... Li Wan-ning!

  Qin Churan pretended not to see her, intending to ignore Li Wan-ning and log off directly.

  But Li Wan-ning was clearly there for her.

  She walked straight up to Qin Churan.

  "Name your price, leave Nether, and the price is yours to set!"

  Looking at Li Wan-ning's arrogant face, Qin Churan retorted, "Do you really think it's about money?"

  Li Wan-ning crossed her arms, her eyes filled with disdain, and said to Qin Churan, "It seems you still haven't recognized your position!"

  "Nether is destined to become one of the Great Xia's unparalleled strongmen. On his path to greatness, what can you do for him?"

  "Admittedly, you can't do anything! You still rely on Nether for everything, and you only slow down his progress, becoming a burden!"

  "And you?" Qin Churan retorted to Li Wan-ning, "What can you do for him?"

  Li Wan-ning sneered, "Nether wants to conquer Dragon Soul Guan Yu. I have a way to rescue Dragon Soul Guan Yu's kidnapped daughter, Guan Xiaotong, from God Syer! Can you?"

  "I have money to tailor top-notch equipment for Nether, enhancing his physical strength! Do you?"

  "I have power to clear all obstacles on Nether's path to greatness! Can you?"

  Although knowing Li Wan-ning was deliberately provoking her, Qin Churan was still deeply hurt.

  She finally realized that Li Wan-ning had come fully prepared!

  Enduring the pain, Qin Churan asked Li Wan-ning a question, "Do you like Nether?"

  Li Wan-ning replied nonchantly, "Of course I like him."

  Qin Churan looked into Li Wan-ning's eyes and said, "No, you don't like him! There's no love in your eyes, only possessiveness."

  "Love?" Li Wan-ning couldn't help but ugh, "Don't talk to me about love; it's the cheapest thing in this world! Only fools believe in love!"

  "Then why are you with Nether? What exactly do you want?"

  Faced with Qin Churan's questioning, Li Wan-ning impatiently said, "That's none of your concern!"

  "Don't say I didn't warn you; how you bance things is up to you!"

  "Oh, by the way! If God Syer finds out that Nether is still alive and plotting against them with Dragon Soul Guan Yu... what do you think they'll do to Dragon Soul Guan Yu and his daughter, and how will they deal with Nether?"

  With that, Li Wan-ning left with a smile.

  Qin Churan stood alone, lost in thought.

  After a long while, she finally logged off and disappeared from the spot.

  Because her computer was still being repaired, Qin Churan had been using Lu Ming's computer to log into Sky Abyss these days.

  After logging off, Qin Churan appeared in Lu Ming's room.

  The bright moonlight streamed through the window, falling on Lu Ming, who was asleep in bed.

  Qin Churan quietly walked over and carefully covered Lu Ming with a bnket.

  Sitting by the bed, she quietly watched Lu Ming, her eyes gradually moistening.

  Love comes without knowing, deep and unyielding.

  She didn't know when it started.

  Perhaps it was because of the days spent together, sharing life and death.

  Or maybe it was because of Lu Ming's care and protection, shown in his actions and details.

  At this moment, Qin Churan suddenly realized, "I think I really like you..."

  After a long time, Qin Churan quietly got up and left the room.

  When the morning sunlight filled the room, Lu Ming was awakened by a rapid knocking on the door.

  "Nether brother! Wake up!"

  Lu Ming got up and opened the door, only to see Lin Youwei looking anxious, "I just saw Sister Churan's room open, and when I went in, she was gone, and all her luggage and things were missing!"

  Just as Lu Ming was feeling surprised.

  Ding dong!

  Qin Churan sent a WeChat message.

  "Dummy, forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. I was afraid you'd be sad if I left in person."

  Lu Ming immediately called Qin Churan.

  As soon as the call connected, Lu Ming urgently asked, "Qin Churan, what are you doing? Why did you leave without a word? Where are you going?"

  On the other end of the line, Qin Churan's slightly guilty voice came through, "I've actually been thinking about it for a long time, but I never told you. I'm pnning to go to Anyang."

  "A-Long and the others have recruited a team in Anyang, and I'm going over to take charge and reorganize it."

  "Alright! A temporary farewell is for a better reunion next time! Dummy, take care of yourself while I'm away!"

  "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" Lu Ming frowned, "I'm your boyfriend, right?"

  At that moment, Qin Churan on the other end of the line suddenly said something that shocked Lu Ming to his core, "Dummy, your real name isn't Zhang Yi, is it?"

  Before Lu Ming could recover, Qin Churan continued with a ugh, "It's okay, you don't like me anyway..."

  Lu Ming was completely stunned.

  He never expected that Qin Churan knew everything...

  But Qin Churan ughed heartily, "Alright, that's it!"

  "Dummy, I'm getting on the bus now, so I won't talk anymore, bye!"

  Beep—

  The call ended.

  Suddenly, a mix of guilt and anger surged in his heart.

  Although he initially approached Qin Churan to use her to get back at Qin Feng and Ye Ling'er, over time, Lu Ming had long separated Qin Churan from Qin Feng.

  She, along with Lin Youwei, were both good friends and partners to Lu Ming!

  Even if Lu Ming didn't have romantic feelings for Qin Churan, he couldn't stand by and watch Qin Churan or Lin Youwei be bullied!

  Moreover, no matter what, Qin Churan was nominally his girlfriend!

  Going to Anyang was clearly an excuse.

  If it was because she discovered Lu Ming was deceiving her, she wouldn't have waited until now to expose it.

  Why leave now, right after Li Wan-ning appeared?

  Lu Ming immediately realized that Qin Churan must have been threatened by Li Wan-ning in some way!

  A fsh of murderous intent erupted in his eyes.

  "Li Wan-ning, you dare touch my people?"

  "You're courting death!"

  "Don't think that just because you're an Agent of the Gods, I won't dare to kill you!"
