"Where are we?" Zhou Qianlin was the first to break the silence, as well as the awkward atmosphere in the room.
"My house," Lan Jue said in a low voice.
The corner of Zhou Qianlin's mouth twitched. She suddenly realized that even though she had been well-educated since she was young, this was not the first time she had the urge to curse in front of this guy.
Lan Jue seemed to have realized something as well. "This is Skyfire Avenue."
"Skyfire Avenue?"
Zhou Qianlin's expression changed slightly. Of course she knew about Skyfire Avenue. In fact, there was no one in the entire Eastern Alliance who didn't know about this place.
It was a place completely different from the outside world. People called it the holy land of the nobles.
It was like a completely independent world.
Just the fact that no machinery was allowed was strange enough.
However, after so many years, Skyfire Avenue still stood tall. Even the rulers of the Eastern Alliance would not touch the rules here.
"Send me out. I want to go home," Zhou Qianlin said calmly.
"Oh."
The sky was gloomy, causing the night to come earlier than usual.
They strolled slowly down Skyfire Avenue, walking side by side with her.
But there was always more than a foot between them.
"What do you plan to do?"
Seeing that they were about to reach the end of the 2048 meter Skyfire Avenue, he finally couldn't help but ask.
Of course, he knew what kind of predicament and pressure she would face after today's incident.
If she really was Hera, all of this wouldn't be a problem. He had a good reason to do this.
But she wasn't.
So, this incident was his fault, and it was a huge one!
Zhou Qianlin stopped, turned around, and looked at him seriously. "It's none of your business."
Lan Jue frowned. "Now is not the time to be angry."
Zhou Qianlin glared at him. "Can you turn back time?"
"Uh … I'm afraid that's not possible." Lan Jue really didn't have such an ability.
Even the extremely rare time ability users could only reverse time for a very short period of time at most, and it was limited to a very small area.
Moreover, there were some things that couldn't be undone once they were done …
Zhou Qianlin's dark blue eyes turned cold. "I'll handle it. You don't have to worry about it." With that, she quickly walked out.
"I'll walk you out." Lan Jue caught up with her.
They were about to leave Skyfire Avenue.
Zhou Qianlin turned to look at him. "Are you planning to become the public enemy of the Eastern Alliance?"
Lan Jue could not help but stop in her tracks.
Yes!
Perhaps the entire Sky Fire City was in chaos because of her abduction.
Zhou Qianlin said lightly, "I'm not that weak. I can handle it.
Go back. "
Lan Jue was lost for a moment. From the stubbornness in her eyes, it was as if he saw the Hera of the past. The gentle Hera, when angry, was something that even he was afraid of.
"This is my interstellar number." Lan Jue handed her a slip of paper. "Contact me if you need anything."
The ambiguity in his words made Zhou Qianlin's pretty face blush. Lan Jue only then realized his mistake, but before he could explain, Zhou Qianlin had already turned and walked away.
"Your wedding dress is still with me." Lan Jue called after her.
"I don't want it anymore.
You've dirtied it. "
"Then when can you return it to me?" Lan Jue asked.
Zhou Qianlin stopped in her tracks, turned around, and glared at him fiercely. "Not returning it!" With that, she turned and walked away.
Lan Jue's mouth twitched. This girl's temper was much worse than her sister's, and she was even cold.
Heavens!
What kind of sin did I commit!
At this time, Zhou Qianlin's voice floated over from a distance. "You owe me, you must return it.
When I think of how to return it, I'll come find you. "
With that, she also quietly disappeared into the darkness.
Lan Jue stood in place, looking in the direction she left. For a long time, he did not come back to his senses.
Gradually, his expression turned cold. In the depths of his eyes, a cold light flashed.
An awe-inspiring aura seemed to emerge from his bones.
Zeus was angry!
That woman, Fan Ye?!
If it wasn't for her information, how could he have made such a big mistake?
And even let his good brother bear the pressure of the family.
That priceless treasure?
Was this what he'd gotten for his efforts?
"You don't seem to be in a good mood." A low voice sounded not far behind Lan Jue.
Lan Jue turned. The Wine Master wasn't far behind, dressed in a well-ironed suit, not a hair out of place.
He slowly made his way to the Wine Master's side. "New clothes?"
"Yeah."
"Nice fabric."
"One hundred and sixty yarns."
Lan Jue looked the Wine Master in the eye. "I won't cause trouble for Skyfire Avenue. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility."
"Care for a drink?" the Wine Master asked.
Lan Jue's eyes lit up. "What would you like?"
"You're not in the right mood for red wine," the Wine Master replied.
"Whiskey."
Lan Jue's mouth twitched. "We nobles can control our emotions."
The Wine Master's lips curled into a smirk. "You were full of murderous intent just now.
Like you were doing something nobles shouldn't? "
Lan Jue's voice was placid. "Compared to drinking, that sort of thing isn't urgent.
A true nobleman must be responsible.
At the same time, they must help those who have done wrong, and shoulder their responsibilities.
This is something that benefits society, so why shouldn't it be done?
If someone took your 1990 La Romanee-Conti, would you be able to laugh it off? "
The Wine Master's face stiffened. Clearly he'd recalled the unpleasant memory of that day.
Lan Jue smiled. "Whiskey it is. I'll drink Taliska. Original 1985 barrel. What do you think?"
"I'm going to list you as the most unwelcome person in the Gothic Winery.
You can pretend I never showed up. "The Wine Master turned to leave.
Lan Jue was all smiles as he hurried to catch up. "Don't worry, I'll pay."
"No!" The Wine Master said righteously.
Lan Jue sighed. "I really am in a bad mood.
If you want to hear my story, I'll tell it to you. "
The Wine Master glanced at her. "I don't have 1985, but I do have a bottle of '18 Taliska.
Drink or not? "
"Let's go!" Lan Jue said decisively.
The Wine Master pursed his lips. "Nobles have their own principles."
Lan Jue was puzzled. "I do!
I'm not going there to drink.
Last time you cut up the Iberian ham, it wouldn't be good if you didn't eat it. Whiskey goes well with ham. Hmm, last time the Gourmet roasted it and ate it was good.
Let's call him as well. His control of the heat is commendable. "
The Wine Master sucked in a breath. "You're not a noble. You're a gangster!"
