You were made to take the blame and go to jail, but you weren't made a master of both medicine

This crested python is a spirit beast, so it can naturally understand what Qin Ran is saying.

But at this moment it hesitated.

In fact, Qin Ran had his own selfish reasons for making this request.

He wanted to see if the crested python's owner had left any treasures that he could take for himself.

Seeing the crested python hesitate, Qin Ran said, "I'm very curious about who your master is, a reclusive master. I just want to pay my respects."

After much hesitation, the crested python finally agreed.

It led the way, with Qin Ran following behind.

Reach the end of this road.

Qin Ran saw that there was another secret room inside.

He followed the crested python into the secret chamber.

Qin Ran looked around.

There was a skeleton on the ground.

But the skeleton wasn't lying completely on the ground.

He was sitting against the wall with his legs resting on the ground.

This shows that he maintained this posture until his death.

Qin Ran walked to the skeleton and examined it closely.

Based on the situation at the scene, the skeleton is likely several decades old.

Qin Ran saw a dusty token and a long knife on the ground.

He first picked up the token.

Qin Ran wiped the dust off the token.

He was startled to see the three large characters "Super Defense Bureau".

Super Defense?

This person worked at the Super Defense Bureau before his death!

Qin Ran was no stranger to the Super Defense Bureau.

This is a very mysterious department within the country.

It is also known as Bureau 749.

The Super Defense Bureau is full of talented and extraordinary people.

Their job is to investigate paranormal and supernatural events.

Qin Ran had also heard Master Shifu mention the Super Defense Bureau.

It is said that one of the elders there has lived from the Ming Dynasty to the present day.

The Super Defense Bureau had previously fought against the Nine Chrysanthemums faction from Japan.

While meditating, Qin Ran examined the token from all angles.

It only has the words "Super Defense Bureau" and a number on it.

Qin Ran put down the token and looked at the crested python: "So your master is from the Super Defense Bureau!"

The crested python nodded.

Qin Ran then picked up the long knife beside him.

Even though so much time has passed.

The carvings on the scabbard are still lifelike.

This scabbard is clearly made of a special material.

Qin Ran drew the blade.

In an instant, a bright light shone on his face.

"This is truly a fine knife."

At the same time, Qin Ran saw three small characters engraved on the blade.

It turns out this sword is called the Demon-Slaying Sword.

He suddenly remembered what his master had said before.

If you have any treasures, you can throw them into the Dragon Altar.

The ancient divine power within the Dragon Altar can enhance treasures.

In the future, it can be used as a divine weapon.

Qin Ran had the idea of ​​taking the Demon-Slaying Blade for himself.

But taking it away like that doesn't seem right.

Qin Ran had a sudden inspiration. He stood up and looked at the crested python: "Buddy, it's fate that we met. Your master has been dead for so long. Why don't you cultivate with me from now on and become my spirit beast?"

The crested python hesitated for a moment before finally nodding.

Qin Ran continued, "Your master must have used this Demon-Slaying Blade to kill many members of the demonic path. Since the demonic path is also my enemy, why not let me take this blade and fulfill your master's unfinished wishes?"

The crested python stared at Qin Ran.

He looked at it for a long time before finally nodding in agreement.

Qin Ran smiled and said, "Then it's a happy decision. From now on, this will be our base. I'll come and cultivate with you whenever I have time, but you must remember not to hurt anyone again."

After explaining everything, Qin Ran left the tomb.

Upon exiting the tomb, he threw the demon-slaying sword into the Dragon Altar.

I had a very fruitful night.

Not worth it.

After descending the mountain, Qin Ran went to the resort.

Once in the car, he made a phone call to Xu Wei.

Tell him to instruct everyone at the resort, whether guests or staff, not to go to the back mountain again.

He also asked Xu Wei to make road signs to place at the exit of the back mountain as a warning.

After making the call, Qin Ran drove back to No. 1 Jinshui Bay.

Upon arriving home, he immediately went upstairs to practice his spiritual discipline.

……

Qin Ran did not leave the house for the next three days.

He devoted himself to practicing the Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Technique at home.

With Su Qingyi's help, he made rapid progress.

Qin Ran could clearly feel the energy within his body increasing.

However, the dragon inside the Dragon Altar still did not turn blue.

Qin Ran was somewhat depressed.

However, we should not rush things.

The path of cultivation cannot be rushed; it requires steady and solid progress.

After lunch and a short rest, Qin Ran prepared to go out for a walk.

Su Qingyi has already started working at the Black Emperor Consortium.

He was all alone at home.

Qin Ran drove to the Chu Group.

Upon arriving at the destination, he went directly to Chu Qingcheng's office, familiar with the area.

His assistant told him that Chu Qingcheng had gone to a meeting.

Qin Ran was waiting in the office.

About half an hour later, Chu Qingcheng returned.

"The meeting's over," Qin Ran said with a smile.

"When did you arrive?"

"It's been a while. Your assistant told me you were in a meeting, so I've been waiting for you here."

Chu Qingcheng forced a smile: "Did you need something?"

"Did your grandfather accept the results of the last investigation?"

Chu Qingcheng nodded: "I explained the actual situation to him, and he also felt that my decision was correct. For the long term, Hunter Tower Village is indeed not suitable for commercial development."

"You've done a great job this time, your grandfather must be praising you," Qin Ran said with a smile.

"It's not exactly a great achievement, it's just that I helped him make the right decision," Chu Qingcheng said, looking at Qin Ran.

"No matter what, Chu Zhenlong's expectations of you are getting higher and higher. Perform well, victory is just ahead. But Sun Qing and Chu Wan'er will always be your enemies. You must remember that," Qin Ran instructed.

Chu Qingcheng sighed softly: "As I move forward, I am also facing various crises. Sun Qing looks at me strangely. I feel like she wants to kill me with her eyes."

What I just said was not an exaggeration.

But it was what Chu Qingcheng truly felt.

Physical fatigue is nothing.

But the mental exhaustion she felt was really oppressive.

Every day she was enveloped by an invisible pressure.

Sun Qing and Chu Wan'er have launched a comprehensive crackdown and containment campaign against her.

Perhaps it's just a small matter.

But it was these little things that made her feel inexplicably tired.

Qin Ran felt a pang of sympathy seeing Chu Qingcheng like this: "That's why you have to be on guard against this mother and daughter at all times. If you encounter any trouble, don't try to tough it out. Notify me immediately."

"You're busy spending time with your girlfriend, I can't possibly trouble you."

"Su Qingyi is my senior sister, not my girlfriend." Qin Ran started his deceptive mode again.

Chu Qingcheng smiled gently: "None of that matters anymore, since you two are already together anyway."

Just as Qin Ran was about to speak, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The assistant came in: "President Chu, the chairman of Dongfang Yuncui Hall has arrived and is in the reception room."

Qin Ran frowned.

What does Tian Lina want with Chu Qingcheng?

"Okay, I'll be right there."

The assistant turned and left.

Qin Ran asked, "What does Tian Lina want with you?"

"Do you know Chairman Tian?"

"I've seen you a few times before," Qin Ran said, touching his nose.

"Okay, I don't know why she came to see me. I'll go check on her first," Chu Qingcheng said.

"I'll go with you."

Qin Ran and Chu Qingcheng arrived at the reception room together.

Tian Lina was somewhat surprised to see Qin Ran there.

What's that bastard doing here!

"Mr. Tian, ​​hello, is there something you need from me?" Chu Qingcheng asked respectfully.

Tian Lina said with a dark face, "Chu Qingcheng, you are a member of the Chu family. I don't want to make things too embarrassing, but what you've done is far too unscrupulous."

"I don't understand what you mean. Can you explain it clearly?" Chu Qingcheng asked.

Tian Lina took out two cosmetic products from her bag: "This is the latest facial cleanser launched by your Bashar brand, and this is the facial cleanser launched by our Yun Cuitang last year. You can see that the formula is exactly the same, and the appearance is also exactly the same."

"You put your label on my product and then find a celebrity to endorse and promote it. What do you mean by that?"

Chu Qingcheng found it hard to believe.

He opened the two different facial cleansers and examined them closely.

The style is indeed the same.

Looking at the recipe, apart from the different trademarks, everything else is the same.

Qin Ran's expression, however, was somewhat strange.

Aren't all facial cleansers the same?

It seems there's no question of who copied whom.

Qin Ran thought this to herself, but didn't say it aloud.

Because he doesn't know much about this industry.

I'm afraid that if I say it out loud, people will laugh at me.

Let's remain silent for now.

Chu Qingcheng was speechless: "That's impossible. This new product was just developed by our R&D department."

"Heh, my product was launched last year. What you developed is exactly the same as mine. Is it even necessary to say who copied whom?"

"It's obvious you had someone steal my formula, then changed the trademark, found a celebrity to endorse it, and it became yours. You really know how to play the game," Tian Lina said sinisterly.

No sooner had the other person finished speaking than Qin Ran said, "There must be some misunderstanding here. Qingcheng wouldn't do such a thing."

"Shut up, go away, you have no right to speak here." Tian Lina started yelling.
