I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"Mom! What nonsense are you talking about? I promised you I wouldn't date before graduation!"

Lin Yao glanced guiltily at the shoe cabinet by the door, thankfully she always had the habit of putting her shoes away in the cabinet.

Han Xiuyun wanted to go into the bedroom, but Lin Yao pulled her towards the sofa. "Mom, are you done with your work? When are you going back to Jinling?"

"That depends on you!" Han Xiuyun sat down on the sofa, reluctantly turning her gaze away from the bedroom. "Is school out for break? Do you want to come back with me?"

"Okay!" Lin Yao readily agreed. "Let's go now!"

"Final exams are all over, but the official holiday won't start until after the school anniversary celebration."

"Participation in the school anniversary celebration is not mandatory, and it's basically a holiday now."

Han Xiuyun looked at her daughter suspiciously. "Why do I feel like there's something strange about you?"

"In that case, hurry up and pack your things, I'll help you!"

As she spoke, she suddenly stood up and rushed towards the bedroom at an extremely fast speed.

"what!"

"Mom! No, you can't go in!"

Lin Yao was shocked and quickly chased after him.

However, it was too late. Han Xiuyun made a sudden move and entered the bedroom in the blink of an eye.

"Mom! What are you doing? No...!"

Lin Yao also came to the bedroom, but stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence.

Where is Qin Ge?

He's smart; he even knew to hide!

But the room is only so big, where can I hide?

"Mom, what are you doing!" Lin Yao complained, glancing quickly at the wardrobe before looking away.

Han Xiuyun narrowed her eyes slightly, scrutinizing her daughter. "I'd like to ask you what you're doing!"

Why are you so nervous about me coming into your room?

"Can't the mother even enter her daughter's room?"

Lin Yao said guiltily, "That's not what I meant, my room was just too messy!"

"Besides, I'm already so old, isn't it normal to want my own private space?"

"It's really a mess!" Han Xiuyun scanned the entire room, her gaze finally settling on the wardrobe. "Since we're going back, let's hurry up and pack our things!"

"Mom!" Seeing her mother about to open the wardrobe, Lin Yao rushed forward in alarm to stop her. "You go and rest, I can do it myself!"

"There's not much to tidy up. I have all the everyday things at home, so I'll just tidy up a bit."

Han Xiuyun frowned slightly. "Why do I get the feeling that you're acting like you've done something wrong? You're not actually hiding someone, are you?"

"You brat, I'm warning you, don't you dare mess around, or your grandpa will break your legs!"

Lin Yao laughed awkwardly to hide her guilty conscience, "Mom, you're talking nonsense again!"

"If you keep doing this, I'm not going back with you, and I'm not going back for the entire holiday!"

"I'm just reminding you, what's the rush?" Han Xiuyun said, walking towards the door. "Hurry up and get ready!"

As she reached the door, she suddenly exclaimed, "Girl, who is he?!"

Lin Yao's heart skipped a beat, and she rushed out of the room like a whirlwind.

"Where is anyone?"

Before Lin Yao could finish speaking, she inwardly cried out in alarm and turned around to see her mother had already returned to her room.

"mom......"

When Lin Yao chased back to the room, her mother had already opened all the wardrobe doors.

Finished!

Lin Yao's mind raced as she tried to figure out how to explain.

"Should we take these clothes?" Han Xiuyun's voice interrupted Lin Yao's thoughts.

Lin Yao stepped forward blankly, looked up, and saw rows of clothes neatly hanging in the wardrobe, but Qin Ge was nowhere to be seen.

What about people?

Lin Yao was dumbfounded.

The only place in the room that could hide someone is the wardrobe, and not even a dog could fit under the bed, so Qin Ge couldn't possibly be under the bed.

But there was no one in the closet, so where did Qin Ge go?

"Could it be...?"

Lin Yao turned to look at the curtains, and after confirming that no one was hiding behind them, she looked at the window.

Cold sweat broke out on her back.

No way, this is the seventeenth floor!

......

While Lin Yao was outwitting her mother in the apartment, Qin Ge had already left the building.

Since cultivating spiritual energy, Qin Ge's hearing has become exceptionally sharp, allowing him to hear the conversation between the mother and daughter clearly in the room.

Qin Ge knew that Han Xiuyun had become suspicious, and that he would be exposed as soon as she entered the bedroom.

He originally intended to hide in the closet, but then he thought it wouldn't make much of a difference. He would be caught red-handed as soon as he opened the door, and besides, it would be too sleazy.

After observing from the window for a while, he decided he could escape through the window.

He originally just wanted to hide for a while, but then he found that climbing down didn't seem too difficult, so he simply climbed down from the seventeenth floor and left.

Qin Ge was still upset after leaving the apartment building, not because she was afraid Han Xiuyun would find out, but because of Lin Yao's identity.

Although he only overheard a few words, he could guess that Lin Yao's identity was definitely not simple!

She looks like she's from a wealthy family.

Qin Ge sent a message to Lin Yao, and then called Liu Yang back.

After learning that their punishments had been revoked, Liu Yang and Song Yuan sent a message to Qin Ge, wanting to meet with her.

Just as Qin Ge decided to go back to her dorm, Xia Yanxi called.

Xia Siyuan is having some health issues, and Xia Yanxi wants Qin Ge to go and check on her.

Qin Ge had no choice but to reschedule with Liu Yang and the others, and instead went to the Xia family's place.

When Qin Ge arrived at the gate of a luxurious manor, following the address given by Xia Yanxi, Xia Yanxi was already waiting at the entrance.

"Aren't you going to ask me what's wrong with my grandfather?"

From the moment he received the call until they met, Qin Ge never inquired about Xia Siyuan's condition, which aroused Xia Yanxi's curiosity.

"I roughly know what happened, but you're not a doctor, so you wouldn't be able to explain it clearly even if I asked you."

"Judging from your appearance, the situation shouldn't be serious, otherwise you would have been crying your eyes out by now."

Qin Ge only provided emergency care at Qingfeng Hall last time, saving Xia Siyuan from life-threatening danger. He always knew that the root of Xia Siyuan's illness had not been completely cured.

Xia Siyuan has a heart condition, and it's only a matter of time before it recurs.

Xia Yanxi teased, "You're getting bolder and bolder these days, and you're becoming more and more impolite to me."

Qin Ge glanced at her and said truthfully, "You rich and powerful people can crush me, a little Karami, as easily as crushing an ant. How could I dare to be impolite?"

"I didn't know the situation before, and since I'm someone who values ​​my life, I naturally had to be careful."

"Now I realize that Miss Xia, you're beautiful inside and out, just a little mischievous at times, so I'm not afraid anymore!"

Xia Yanxi couldn't help but smile. "Smooth talker!"

"Isn't it because you've recognized an older sister that you've gained confidence and have someone to back you up?"

Qin Ge paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "You're right."

"I don't really know much about the Shen family. Are they that powerful that even your Xia family has to give them face?"

"Well, how should I put it?" Xia Yanxi thought for a moment, "It's not a matter of who is stronger. If we're really talking about it, the Xia family is still a bit stronger."

"However, the Xia family and the Shen family are old friends."

"Actually, in this small area of ​​Donghai, most of the well-known and powerful families know each other."

"It just depends on how close you are to someone!"
