Chapter 697: Return to the Capital!

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Nightfall descended, and the atmosphere lights along the Hai Riverbanks illuminated, complemented by the dazzling colors of the Ferris wheel, making the entire Ferris wheel look magnificent.

As the Ferris wheel slowly revolved, the view gradually ascended. Excited, Jiang Li took out her phone and began capturing the scene.

“It’s so beautiful!” As the Ferris wheel turned, Zhou Chao and Jiang Li’s cabin soon ascended into the air, nearing the highest point.

Seeing the tiny cars below resembling ants, Jiang Li nervously grabbed Zhou Chao’s arm.

Feeling her arm trembling slightly, Zhou Chao looked at Jiang Li teasingly and said, “Ah Li, are you afraid of heights?”

“Who... who’s afraid of heights? I’m not afraid!” Although her tone sounded strong, the anxiety in her eyes couldn’t be concealed.

With a mischievous smile, Zhou Chao suggested, “Then let’s go to the window and have a look!”

“I won’t go!” Jiang Li shook her head hurriedly.

Seeing Zhou Chao’s playful expression, Jiang Li realized she had been teased.

“Brother Chao, you’re getting naughtier!” Jiang Li pouted, feeling slightly annoyed.

“Am I? I had no idea!”

Jiang Li, feeling irritated, lightly pounded Zhou Chao’s chest a few times, but he quickly pulled her into his arms.

Jiang Li calmed down, and the two of them quietly admired the distant night scenery.

Unfortunately, beautiful moments are always short-lived. After about half an hour, Zhou Chao and Jiang Li returned to the starting point.

“Alright, we’ve been out all afternoon and are a bit tired. We’ll go back to our rooms and rest first.”

“Take care, Young Master Zhou,” Lao Guo said respectfully.

Yu Qian chimed in agreement.

Zhou Chao nodded slightly, then led Zhou Li and Lin Wu straight into the elevator, waving goodbye to Lao Guo and the others.

As the elevator doors closed, one of Lao Guo’s apprentices muttered quietly, “Who is this guy? Why does he act so grand?”

Lao Guo overheard the comment and turned back to look at the speaker, who happened to be his apprentice Bingzi!

“Bingzi, come here!” Lao Guo beckoned with a stern expression.

Seeing his master’s darkened face, Bingzi couldn’t help but shrink back, but he still walked over to Lao Guo’s side.

Lao Guo then raised his right hand and gave Bingzi two smacks on the head.

“Ouch, master, be gentle!” Bingzi exclaimed, covering his head.

“Gentle? If I hadn’t held back, it would have been much worse. Since all of you apprentices are here, let me make this clear!”

Lao Guo paused for a moment, scanning the group.

“Some of you may know him, and some might have heard of him just now. Regardless, I don’t want to hear any disrespectful words about him from any of you. If anyone offends him in any way, you’ll see how 1 deal with you!”

After speaking, Lao Guo glanced at his bewildered apprentices, then took Yu Qian, Xiao Yuexue, and Sun Yue with him as they took the elevator upstairs.

Leaving behind a group of puzzled apprentices looking at each other.

“Did you guys understand what Master meant just now? Who exactly is this Zhou guy, and why does Master treat him with such respect?” Bingzi rubbed his still-sore head, looking puzzled..
