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

It's normal that Qin Ge didn't know these things before. There are many martial arts practitioners in the world now, but they are still rare. Most of them have been recruited by wealthy people.

If Qin Ge hadn't had any extraordinary encounters, given his background and following the normal path, the social classes like Zhu Yanghe and school professors would have been the ceiling he could reach.

Someone like Xia Siyuan is someone you might see at some event or on television, but you probably won't have the chance to say a word to him in your entire life.

Qin Ge instantly understood many things. It seemed that Su Wenxi was also a martial artist. No wonder the Xia family was so confident that they sent a woman to protect him.

"Miss Su, if you're going to protect me, then could you please stop hiding in the shadows in the future?"

Aren't you tired?

"While I was enjoying a delicious meal, were you hiding in the bushes feeding mosquitoes?"

"It sounds mysterious and sophisticated, but it's probably actually quite pathetic, right?"

Qin Ge rambled on for a long time, but what she really disliked was the feeling of being monitored.

Being constantly watched by a pair of eyes, and the owner of those eyes is a stunningly beautiful woman, would make you feel incredibly awkward even if you were just taking a piss on the street.

Qin Ge then asked, "I want to know if you're planning to watch me 24/7. Don't you get any sleep? Is there someone to take turns watching you?"

"Everyone needs to use the restroom sometimes. What would you do if something happened to me or I disappeared while you were in the bathroom?"

Su Wenxi: "..."

Qin Ge raised an eyebrow. "Why don't you live with me? I can protect you closely. That way, I'll feel safer, and you won't be so tired."

"Dream on! You little rascal!" Su Wenxi rolled her eyes at Qin Ge. "With your skills, you don't need my protection at all!"

"Let's go!"

"A hooligan is a hooligan, why do you have to add 'little' to it? I'm not little!" Qin Ge muttered, watching Su Wenxi's disappearing figure. "It was just a joke, why take it so seriously?"

"Do martial arts practitioners not cultivate their minds when they practice martial arts?"

Qin Ge called Liu Yang, then packed some late-night snacks and went back to her dorm.

Xia family.

"He's actually a martial arts master, at least at the Profound Realm?"

Xia Siyuan was deeply shocked after listening to Butler Li's report.

After Su Wenxi and Qin Ge parted ways, Su Wenxi contacted Butler Li to explain what had happened that night. After being surprised, Butler Li immediately came to report to Xia Siyuan.

Xia Siyuan didn't care about the conflict between Qin Ge and the Qingshan Chamber of Commerce; he was just very surprised that Qin Ge was a martial arts practitioner!

"What do you think?" After pondering for a moment, Xia Siyuan looked up at Butler Li and asked for his opinion.

Butler Li had already pondered this when he heard what Su Wenxi said, and then said, "I also misjudged him. When I saw Qin Ge, I didn't sense his cultivation level at all."

"However, that girl from the Su family wouldn't be wrong, and she has no reason to lie. Whether Qin Ge and the Qingshan Chamber of Commerce had a conflict can be found out with a simple investigation."

"I've had someone investigate Qin Ge's background, and he is indeed a poor student who came from an inconspicuous little mountain village."

"There is one strange thing."

"I've checked Qin Ge's recent history and haven't found anything suspicious. No matter how you look at it, he's just an ordinary student, except that he gets good grades."

"Strangely, Qin Ge had recently gone to Shuguang Hospital for a checkup and was diagnosed with late-stage pancreatic cancer."

"After that, he met with Qi Yingzi, the chairman of Tianying Group. Why Qi Yingzi wanted to meet with an ordinary student like him, and what they talked about, are unknown."

"The strangest thing is that Qin Ge later went to Heng'ai Hospital for another checkup, and this time the results showed that there was nothing wrong with his body!"

Xia Siyuan was slightly moved. "You mean, either Shuguang Hospital misdiagnosed her, or Qin Ge cured her cancer herself?"

"He can even cure late-stage cancer?"

Butler Li nodded gently. "I initially thought it was more likely to be a misdiagnosis, but after he cured your heart problem, I changed my mind."

"This young man has many secrets; perhaps he has had some extraordinary encounter."

"He's a medical student, so his medical skills are somewhat understandable, but now that it's been confirmed he also knows martial arts, it's hard not to start speculating."

"Sir, should we...?"

A cold glint suddenly flashed in Butler Li's eyes. He didn't finish his sentence because he knew Xia Siyuan would understand what he meant.

"There's no need to do anything unnecessary!" Xia Siyuan said without hesitation. "Not only is it uncertain whether Qin Ge has had a fortuitous encounter, but even if it were, do you think we can definitely seize it?"

"If things go wrong, it will only ruin his relationship with the Xia family and might even leave future troubles for them."

"As long as he maintains good relations with the Xia family and his medical skills can be used by the Xia family, then the difference won't be that significant."

"And do you think we can just move against Qin Ge as we please?"

"Qi Yingzi has connections with him, and the Shen family has a very close relationship with him. Does he really think he's just a penniless poor student?"

"It's now confirmed that Lin Yao, the graduate student at Donghai University, is from the Lin family of Jinling, and her relationship with Qin Ge is not simple!"

"I've also dealt with Professor Yu, the renowned traditional Chinese medicine master Sun Shizheng, and Qin Ge."

"Do you expect me to swallow my pride and negotiate those shady deals with the Shen family? What are the chances they'd agree?"

"If we act secretly without a word, and the matter is exposed, what face will the Xia family have left to stand in the East China Sea?"

"Most importantly, Qin Ge is my savior!"

Butler Li lowered his head in embarrassment, sighing, "This young man's luck is truly heaven-defying! How did he manage to run into so many prominent figures in the East Sea!"

"Never mention this matter again, not even in your wildest dreams!" Xia Siyuan's old eyes narrowed slightly. "If he truly has the ability and the luck, it wouldn't be unreasonable for our Xia family to help him rise to prominence!"

"If Yan Xi is interested in him, I might even make him my grandson-in-law!"

Butler Li smiled awkwardly, "Miss Yan Xi probably doesn't think much of him."

Xia Siyuan raised his eyelids, looking at Butler Li with disdain, "Old man, you don't even have a wife, yet you know anything about young people's love affairs?"

"You're still pretending in front of me. You might be shrewd and calculating in other matters, but when it comes to romance, you're just a greenhorn!"

Butler Li was even more embarrassed, his face turning bright red.

......

Qin Ge stayed in the dormitory for two days, and didn't see Su Wenxi appear during those two days.

In the afternoon, he received a call from Qi Yingzi and went to the Champs-Élysées Villa.

After the school's anniversary celebration ends tomorrow, Liu Yang and Song Yuan will also be going home for the holidays, and Qin Ge doesn't want to stay at school any longer.

What Qin Ge didn't know was that Hong Zhendong was searching for him everywhere, almost going crazy with the search.
