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

Qin Ge entered the courtyard, where Yang Xiaomeng was sitting cross-legged in the pavilion, breathing deeply with her eyes closed.

Su Wenxi leaned against a pillar, staring blankly at Yang Xiaomeng. Dressed in a white training uniform with a high ponytail, she looked dashing despite her lazy demeanor.

"Sh-!"

Noticing Qin Ge's arrival, Su Wenxi gestured for silence and then pulled him away.

"Tell me honestly, what exactly happened?!"

Su Wenxi stared intently at Qin Ge.

"What's going on?" Qin Ge was completely bewildered. "You're asking me all this out of the blue, how am I supposed to know what you're asking!"

"Don't play dumb!" Su Wenxi sneered. "I was talking about Xiao Meng!"

"I just taught her the breathing techniques yesterday. Even though she's quite talented, she's only just gotten the basics after a day of practice."

"And just one night later, he's already reached the Great Perfection of the Yellow Realm!"

"Tell me honestly, did you do it?!"

She had experience with breaking through to a higher level overnight, and apart from Qin Ge, she didn't know anyone else who could do something so outrageous.

Are you angry?

"Are you jealous?"

Qin Ge was not flustered at all; in fact, he was quite pleased. However, he genuinely didn't know about Yang Xiaomeng's breakthrough.

Firstly, he didn't notice anything last night, and secondly, Yang Xiaomeng herself didn't say anything because she herself didn't know what was going on.

"Who's jealous of you, you bastard!" Su Wenxi was embarrassed and angry, having her thoughts exposed. "You're such a jerk!"

She swung her small fist and punched.

"Stop fooling around." Qin Ge smiled and held Su Wenxi's soft, boneless hand. "If you're jealous, just admit it openly. It's not something to be ashamed of."

"I already let you stay here, so you don't have to travel back and forth every day."

"If you lived here, you might have already broken through to the Great Perfection of the Profound Realm, standing shoulder to shoulder with your grandfather!"

"How about I make it up to you a few more times?"

"Pah! All you ever think about is that kind of nonsense!" Su Wenxi said stubbornly, but she actually did think about it too.

She's starting to get hooked, and besides, she secretly hopes to break through again in that way.

"Let's go over there, I have something important to ask you." Qin Ge pulled Su Wenxi to sit down on a chair in the corridor.

"Has your grandfather, or any other member of the Su family, been to the area near the antique market?"

"I know what you want to ask. I know everything about what happened at Tianxiang Restaurant yesterday!" Su Wenxi's eyes still held a hint of resentment.

"I only found out last night. Grandpa took several of the family's best fighters to Tianxiang Tower. They were already lying in wait there when you arrived."

"A man like Mr. Xia wouldn't easily do something he's not confident about, much less put himself in danger."

"You're really something! How did you end up getting involved in that?"

"Also, I heard you brought a beautiful woman with you yesterday. Who is she?!"

"What beautiful girl?" Qin Ge feigned ignorance. "Oh, you mean Senior Tang, right?"

"She's also from Tunghai University, a year ahead of me. I saved her before. We bumped into each other by chance at the antique market, and she insisted on treating me to dinner, so we went to Tianxianglou."

"Is she beautiful?"

"I think you're much prettier—no, not just a little, but way more beautiful, way better than her!"

"Smooth talker!" Su Wenxi knew that Qin Ge was definitely making things up, but she still couldn't help feeling a sweet sensation in her heart.

"There are two other things from yesterday that you might be interested in."

"The murderous duo who repeatedly committed crimes in the East China Sea were arrested by the Shadow Martial Hall last night, and this news has spread throughout the East China Sea this morning."

"Arrested?" Qin Ge was filled with questions. "Can they arrest a dead person?"

Seeing Su Wenxi's confusion, he then recounted his encounter with the two bears the previous night, cleverly omitting Qi Yingzi's presence to avoid making her jealous again.

"You killed them?!" Su Wenxi's almond-shaped eyes widened. "I heard those two were both at the peak of the Profound Realm!"

"It seems those two bears were telling the truth. The two Shadow Martial Hall captured were just decoys, used to divert attention. The one you killed was the real murderous lecher!"

"No way! You think you have to take me with you when you go out? It's too dangerous!"

"Okay! I'll take you with me." Qin Ge looked Su Wenxi up and down. Who knows who will protect whom if I take you with me!

"Didn't you say you had two things to say? What's the other one?"

Su Wenxi smiled slightly. "Jiaoyang Pharmaceuticals has been shut down, and Zhu Chengan's entire family has been arrested."

"I asked around and found out that Zhu Cheng'an is a very responsible person. He took all the blame himself, and the rest of the Zhu family should be released today."

"But even if they get out, the Zhu family will remain the same."

"With the Qingshan Chamber of Commerce pushing things along, Jiaoyang Pharmaceutical is bound to collapse, and the Zhu family is going bankrupt!"

Qin Ge smiled jokingly, "This has nothing to do with me. Those who are unrighteous will surely perish. They have no bottom line when it comes to making money, and they just happened to harm Hu Qingshan's old mother."

He glanced at Yang Xiaomeng, who was still cultivating in the distance, and then at Su Wenxi. "How about it? Think about it again. Stay here and don't go back tonight."

"I don't want to," Su Wenxi refused outright.

Qin Ge offered a tempting offer with a straight face, "I can help you break through!"

"My skills have improved again these past two days. I couldn't succeed last time, but now I might succeed on the first try."

"Okay, it's settled then. Xiaomeng will help you tidy up your room at lunchtime!"

Seeing Su Wenxi hesitate, he immediately made a decision.

Su Wenxi is really amazing. The increase in power from dual cultivation with her is unmatched by anyone else. Living here might even bring her double the happiness.

Beidu.

Yun Yichuan stood guard outside Zheng Shaoqing's room, his expression showing a hint of anxiety.

He had called Zheng Shaoqing several times, and after being hung up on several times, he finally got through. However, Zheng Shaoqing scolded him and then hung up again, and he didn't have a chance to say anything.

After that, Zheng Shaoqing's phone was switched off, and he didn't get up until almost noon.

"What's the rush?"

"Did those two bears succeed?"

"Just have them bring the person directly to Beidu. Can't you handle something this simple?"

Zheng Shaoqing leaned against the headboard and lit a cigarette, his face showing signs of exhaustion. The two beautiful women from last night were still in his bed.

Last night, he fought for his manly dignity and lost control, exhausting himself.

"Young Master, Scarface and the others are in trouble!"

"Last night, before they took action against Qi Yingzi, they used two stunt doubles to distract the Donghai Police Station and Yingwu Hall. Those two stunt doubles have already been arrested."

"Then they lost contact with themselves. Two bodies were found on a street in Donghai last night. I had someone go to the police station this morning to confirm that it was Scarface Bear and his gang!"

"Young Master, the waters of the East Sea are deeper than we imagined. If Scarface Bear and his men did indeed attack Qi Yingzi last night, then their deaths must be related to her. She has a powerful ally by her side!"
