Chapter 937 - Sheng Yang’s Counterattack
historical
As soon as Sheng Yang walked in, two rows of well-trained servants immediately bowed to her. “Miss, we’ve been waiting for you.”
Sheng Yang was expressionless, but she felt that her uncle’s description of Lanca was exaggerated.
She glanced sideways at the people standing on both sides. Perhaps it was to make it easier to take care of her, there were more women and fewer men. However, looking at the clues these people revealed, it was obvious that they were all martial artists. They were quite skilled too.
Sheng Yang sighed inwardly. She knew her uncle said that the Kang family’s main business was in Lanca, so they had many enemies. She understood that, but was he going to protect her like a baby?
“Miss, you can call me Sister Qian. I’m in charge here. If you have anything to say in the future, just tell me.” A woman in her 30s stood up and smiled. She was from Lanca. She did not look old at all and was comparable to a B-list celebrity.
Sheng Yang nodded. As she followed Sister Qian upstairs, she suddenly asked, “Sister Qian, who are the Four Gods?”
Sister Qian’s expression changed. She originally wanted to brush her off, but seeing how shrewd Eldest Miss was, she could only sigh inwardly and explain, “From the name, you can tell that the Four Gods are existences that surpass humans. They’re the four people most powerful people in Lanca. Although their overall strength is very impressive, they also have their own strongest domains. The Gods are selected every 10 years, and new people will take over. Their identities are very mysterious. Unless they deliberately expose themselves, ordinary people won’t know who they are and where they are in Lanca.”
Sheng Yang raised an eyebrow, not understanding why Sister Qian was being so secretive.
Sister Qian knew that she could not hide it from Sheng Yang. “On this side of Lanca, the Kang family is considered an old family and has always been one of the top families. However, when it comes to Miss Sinuo, there are some signs of decline. She doesn’t even have the qualifications to enter Lanca. The old master, old madam, and Mr. Kang are also concerned about her pride, so they didn’t even tell her about the main battlefield of the Kang family’s career. Otherwise, I don’t know what would’ve happened to the arrogant Miss Sinuo. It’s good now. She’s happily living in her own world and doing scientific research.”
Sheng Yang looked down but said nothing.
“This place has always been supported by Mr. Kang, so it can be defended. A few years ago, after the change of the Four Gods, the children of the Tong family, who had always been suppressed by the Kang family, were accepted as disciples by the newly appointed Four Gods. The Tong family began a revenge plan and tried their best to devour the Kang family’s territory. Miss, although you’ve just arrived, you’ve probably seen that there’s no such thing as morality in Lanca. It’s all based on strength.”
Sheng Yang lowered her eyes. “What are the names of the Four Gods?”
Sister Qian panicked. “Miss, Mr. Kang doesn’t want me to tell you about this. I’m just being nosy.”
Sheng Yang’s demeanor was still lazy. “I won’t tell on you.”
Sister Qian was very worried, but after sending Sheng Yang back to her room and staring at her for a while, she was relieved to see that Sheng Yang was just sitting in a chair and reading.

At night, Yi Juncheng and Sheng Yang were on a video call.
Previously, they were like glue. Now that they were separated, the two of them were not used to it.
Yi Juncheng was wearing navy blue pajamas that were very loose. The buttons were not buttoned very neatly, and he could not control his unruly aura.
There was a hint of laziness in that enchanting face, like mellow red wine. It was so intoxicating.
Sheng Yang’s gaze seemed heavy as it scanned him. As soon as Yi Juncheng opened his mouth, she beat him to it and said, “You’re bullying me.”
