Chapter 25 - The Five Elites

Seeing his younger brother not moving like a frozen statue, Xia Jiannan's eyes softened a little.

He must have been overreacting just then. This little brother of his, who had always been there to accompany him, had not done anything wrong either.

As a consolation for his hostility towards his supportive little brother, Xia Jiannan thrust the plastic bag to him.

This gossip-lover was after all a food fanatic. He could even ditch a juicy news just for the sake of eating delicious meals!

"Let's go."

Xia Jiannan's voice was still cold as he talk to his brother, but it carried a slight trace of gentleness.

Sensing that his brother's coldness had toned down, Xia Jinhu glanced up at the star-filled night sky.

'Thank the gods, I can still live long enough to find my one true love!'

However, Xia Jinhu would never have thought that in the months to come, he would be force-fed dog food by his brother and that goddess...

. . .

After leaving the Xia Family's Old Residence, Wang Rouxi went straight back home.

There were a lot of things that she needed to attend to, aside from catching up with Lu Sha.

However, the moment she stepped foot inside her house, she felt that something was amiss.

Instinctively, her hand went to grab the gun from its holster on her waist. With a swift movement, she turned around before pointing the gun at the person's head.

All of these happened in a blink of an eye that the person who had his head almost busted out could only raise his hands up in surrender.

"Leader Xi, it's me, Yizhi! Don't you remember your handsome healer god?"

Seeing the familiar youthful appearance of the man in front of him, Wang Rouxi put the gun back on its holster, her eyes revealing a faint trace of mirth.

After not seeing him for three years, Lu Yizhi was still the same as how Wang Rouxi remembered him to be.

With a low laugh, Wang Rouxi stretched her hand out, patting the young man on his head, and said, "You've grown a little taller, Xiao Zhi!"

The man named Yizhi froze on the spot where he stood, not accustomed to this smiling Wang Rouxi. He did not even took notice that his 'treasured' hair was disheveled.

Just then, three people went in and saw this spectacular scene.

Lu Wei, who was holding a tray of freshly-baked cookies, was in too much of a shock that he had dropped it on the ground.

Lu Lenglian, the usually stoic one among the group, could not even keep his cold expression from turning into a bewildered one.

But contrary to the shocked expressions of her two brothers, the only female in the group, Lu Qingya, had a graceful smile plastered on her stunning face.

Although Lu Qingya was also shocked upon seeing this new version of Wang Rouxi, she was feeling more elated that their leader was now more...

What do you call it?

More expressive?

That should be it!

No one spoke. They did not even dare to breathe loudly. All eyes were trained on Wang Rouxi's every movement.

Was this really their leader whom they hadn't seen for such a long time?

If you were to ask each one of them this question, the four of them would probably express their astonishment on how much their leader had changed for the last three years that she was gone.

But this change was actually for the better!

Yizhi would even dare to bet his life just to prove that this was the first time that their Leader Xi ever smiled at them.

A few minutes of silence ensued, the four elite members and the leader of the Lu Faction just stared at one another, not knowing what to say.

Luckily, the remaining member of 'The Five Elites' entered...

Lu Sha was holding two boxes on his hands, the smaller one was placed on top of the larger one.

Seeing the cookies strewn on the floor and the animated expressions on the others' faces, Lu Sha could guess what had happened here.

With a light chuckle, he beckoned everyone to go to the dining table, "Let's eat before the food gets cold."

However, this only made the four elite members feel as though they were struck by lightning.

What was this?!
