The night in Lin'an City is filled with millions of lights, twinkling like stars, revealing a touch of warmth amidst the brilliance of neon.

Lu Yu sits in his living room, dining alone, still contemplating the day's events.

Now that Divine Archer Bai Le and the Dark Sanctuary have marked him as a target for assassination, Lu Yu can't help but be somewhat concerned.

After all, the incident at the automatic silver pavilion today was extremely perilous.

If not for Lu Yu's unique sense of danger honed by five years of experience, that shot could have severely injured him.

So during dinner, Lu Yu continues to ponder this problem, seeking a faster, more efficient solution.

Aside from the Dark Sanctuary and Divine Archer Bai Le, there's also the Jiang Family from the Capital keeping a close watch, which adds to Lu Yu's sense of pressure.

If these three forces intersect, things could become terribly complicated!

Thinking about this, Lu Yu furrows his brow, a hint of somber silence on his face.

Bang bang bang!

As Lu Yu lowers his head in thought, suddenly, there's a rapid knock on the door, sounding very urgent.

Upon hearing the knock, Lu Yu's heart skips a beat, a look of contemplation crossing his face.

After today's series of events, who might be knocking at his door at this hour?

Upon this thought, Lu Yu is about to respond when suddenly, Meng Yue's voice rings out: "Lu Yu, we're coming in!"

As these words echo, the door swings open, revealing Meng Yue and Su Nianxue entering, both appearing quite cheerful.

"Uh… why are you here?"

Seeing Meng Yue and Su Nianxue in front of him, Lu Yu speaks with considerable surprise, his alertness somewhat relaxing.

For Lu Yu, Meng Yue and Su Nianxue aren't strangers, so their presence eases his mind greatly, and he smiles slightly at them.

"What, not happy to see us?"

Noting Lu Yu's surprised expression, Meng Yue laughs and says, "Hiding in your room alone, you're not doing anything shady, right?"

With that, Meng Yue glances at Lu Yu.

"I was just surprised, that's all."

Responding to Meng Yue, Lu Yu remarks casually, "How come you have time to visit?"

Lu Yu's words carry a gentle smile, giving off a serene vibe.

Meng Yue and Su Nianxue are usually quite busy, so seeing them together now surprises Lu Yu.

"Su Nianxue plans to return to her studio tomorrow, so I brought her to inform you and have a chat."

Meng Yue's words hold a mature authority, her demeanor serious.

"That soon?"

Lu Yu reacts slightly, looking at Su Nianxue and asks, "Not staying a bit longer?"

Lu Yu speaks with evident surprise at the news.

Su Nianxue's concert only concluded yesterday, so her quick departure indeed surprises him.

"I have some tasks to finish at the studio, so I really can't stay longer."

Su Nianxue speaks, blushing slightly, her reluctance showing.

Living in this cozy place is far better than the drama-filled entertainment world.

Seeing Su Nianxue's reluctance, Lu Yu nods in understanding.

Being a celebrity seems glamorous, but many things aren't under their control, given the demands of fans and entertainment companies, their work often exhausting.

So, if Su Nianxue wants to stay, her managers wouldn't allow it.

Because of this, many stars eventually set up their own studios, becoming independent once contracts end.

Contemplating this, Lu Yu smiles slightly and says, "I get it; a celebrity's schedule isn't theirs to command."

Lu Yu smiles again, saying, "Come, sit down! We should chat while we can; meeting later won't be easy."

Lu Yu's words are filled with a gentle cheer.

Lu Yu's invitation leads Meng Yue and Su Nianxue to the couch, and they settle down for conversation.

The room, under soft light, exudes a cozy, pleasant atmosphere…

However, amidst the friendly chatter, Ghost Eye, on the opposite rooftop, silently observes everything.

Through his specially modified scope, Ghost Eye sees the room's status clearly, a cruel smile spreading.

Normally, scouting with such devices would cause reflections, but Ghost Eye uses a unique scope, so Lu Yu hasn't noticed his presence!

"Lu Yu, turns out you aren't as solitary as I thought, you have quite good friends!"

Ghost Eye sneers coldly, the words filled with malice: "Since you have friends, things will be easier to handle!"

Ghost Eye finishes the sentence before activating his earpiece, "Lord Alfred, I've made a major discovery! With this, we can act against Lu Yu tomorrow!"

Ghost Eye's voice is icy, sinister, as if he's found Lu Yu's weakness, brimming with excitement!

Attacking Lu Yu is tough; instead, targeting those around him offers an advantage!
