Warning! A hidden dragon has emerged!

"Did you come here for me today?"

In the grove, Qin Ling stood with her hands behind her back, her pretty face frosty and aloof.

Qin Quan's heart softened.

This was his sister whom he had longed for for ten years, a relative he thought had perished in the fire. Now, she was standing alive before him, and his heartstrings were touched, his eyes filled with tenderness.

He nodded, making no attempt to hide anything.

Yes, I came for you.

"Because of the assassins from the Wind and Rain Tower?"

Qin Ling raised an eyebrow, her bright eyes gleaming with intelligence.

"Um."

Qin Quan nodded again and immediately recounted the whole story of how he was murdered by a dump truck that morning.

"I want to retaliate, but I can't find any trace of that top-tier assassin."

"Just as I expected."

Qin Ling's lips curled into a smug, cold smile.

Do you think I'd help you?

"I know the rules of the Wind and Rain Tower; if you fail three times in a row, you will be punished."

Qin Quan's gaze was intense as he said, word by word, "Your mission has just been taken over by a top assassin. He will inevitably try to intimidate and threaten you to force you to comply. I have no choice but to find you and lure him out."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ling's expression changed drastically, and a hint of vigilance flashed in her eyes.

"I didn't expect you to know so much about the Wind and Rain Tower."

"You've assassinated me three times. If I don't investigate, won't I become a fool?"

Qin Quan spoke calmly, without a trace of resentment.

Qin Ling nodded silently, a strange sense of comfort rising in her heart.

What should have been a life-or-death situation turned into a casual chat between old friends, without lies or tests, the two of them appearing remarkably natural.

"He asked me to a Michelin-starred restaurant tonight, but I declined. If you want to take action, I can go."

"really?"

A look of surprise flashed in Qin Quan's eyes.

There's no need to be secretive when talking to smart people.

Qin Ling's expression was indifferent. "I'll lure him out. You're in charge of counterattacking and resolving this problem, and also helping me get rid of his entanglement."

"make a deal!"

Qin Quan immediately agreed and solemnly guaranteed:

"I'll take care of your safety. I guarantee he won't be able to touch a single hair on your head."

"Okay, see you at the Michelin restaurant tonight."

Qin Ling left after saying that.

Qin Quan quickly followed.

The two emerged from the grove in less than five minutes, instantly attracting the attention of all the gossipy classmates.

"Holy crap! That's it? Less than five minutes?"

"This handsome guy's no good, he was done in five minutes?"

"My goddess was ruined like this? What a damn bad luck."

"A beautiful flower has been stuck in cow dung!"

The outskirts of the grove.

Someone was holding up their phone, ready to livestream the catching of the adulterers. When they saw Qin Quan and Qin Ling come out so quickly, they immediately erupted in a frenzy of discussion.

"Look everyone! Paul is here!"

With a loud shout, the entire arena fell silent instantly.

Everyone turned their heads in unison to look at the end of the path.

A burly man wearing a two-finger vest and bulging muscles strode over, carrying a gleaming machete.

Behind him followed a group of powerful members of the ancient martial arts club.

They were so aggressive that the students around them didn't dare to breathe.

"Who is it? Which pretty boy stole away Qin, the campus belle? Step forward!"

Kim Paul's voice was as loud as a bell, making the surrounding students feel dizzy and their blood rush to their heads.

Everyone ducked and made way, and Qin Quan and Qin Ling's figures came into Jin Baoer's view.

The two stood side by side, appearing particularly out of place in this oppressive atmosphere.

"Brother Bao, that's the guy! School beauty Qin is with him!"

The henchmen behind him quickly pointed him out, appearing extremely obsequious.

"I'm not blind!"

Kim Paul glared angrily at his underling, then charged forward with his machete.

"stop!"

Qin Quan and Qin Ling stopped simultaneously. "What's wrong?"

"What were you doing in the grove just now?"

Kim Paul pointed at Qin Quan and roared.

"Did you defile Qin, the campus belle?"

Swish!

Qin Ling and Qin Quan's expressions changed simultaneously. Are students these days really this gossipy?

Qin Quan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and his cold gaze locked onto Jin Baoer.

"Why should we report to you? Who do you think you are?"

Qin Ling's pretty face grew increasingly cold, and she exuded a strong killing intent.

How dare someone spread such baseless rumors?

"Jinbaoer, I advise you not to cause trouble. If you dare to spout nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Upon seeing this scene, Kim Paul felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart, and his fragile heart shattered instantly.

His goddess actually defended this pretty boy.

His jealousy has serious consequences.

He pointed angrily at Qin Quan and roared:

"Qin Ling, you have disappointed me greatly. I am the eldest son of the Jin family, of noble birth, possess extraordinary martial arts talent, and am immensely wealthy. In what way am I inferior to him?"

"You're nothing but trash in his eyes."

"What?"

Jin Baoer flew into a rage. "You think I'm inferior to him? Qin Ling, today I'll show you who's stronger! I'll duel him; it's either him or me!"

"You think you're worthy to duel me?"

Qin Quan scoffed, his face full of disdain.

"Brother Bao, let me do it!"

Before Jin Baoer could respond, a shirtless young man behind him leaped up, swung his nine-section whip, and thrust it straight at Qin Quan's chest with a chilling killing intent.

"I could whip this brat to death!"

This young man is named Liu Fei. He is the successor of the Liu family's nine-section whip and a top fighter in the ancient martial arts club. He once won the national college martial arts championship and can easily take on five opponents at once. Even Jin Baoer has to give him some leeway.

"A nine-section whip? Interesting!"

Qin Quan looked amused, not taking the other party seriously at all.

However, to the others, his expression clearly had an element of showing off.

"Hmph! Show-off! I'll make you kneel down and sing 'Conquer' later."

The nine-section whip seemed to come alive in Liu Fei's hands, exuding a murderous aura and wielding a powerful force.

However, just as the whip was about to touch Qin Quan's clothes, Qin Quan moved.

He suddenly made a move, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy churned in his palm. With a gentle extension of two fingers, he precisely gripped the whip as if taking something from a bag.

Clang!

A crisp metallic clanging sound rang out, and the nine-section whip seemed to be locked in steel clamps, remaining completely still.

Liu Fei's expression changed drastically. He frowned, gritted his teeth, and tried to pull hard, but the whip seemed to be attached to Qin Quan's fingertip and did not move an inch.

The entire room fell silent; everyone was stunned by what they were seeing.

Liu Fei's invincible nine-section whip was actually caught by this young man with just two fingers.

How is that possible?

Qin Quan gave a wicked smile and suddenly let go.

Whoosh!

The nine-section whip flew out of his hand, turning into a blur, carrying a whistling wind, and reflected towards Liu Fei.

It moves at an incredible speed, too fast for the naked eye to detect.

It's too late to say, then soon!

There was a loud "plop" sound!

The whip tip was as sharp as a blade, piercing straight through Liu Fei's shoulder, and blood gushed out.

Immediately, a piercing scream echoed throughout the entire campus.

The nine-section whip continued its momentum, dragging Liu Fei's body backward for dozens of meters before crashing heavily into a large tree.

Liu Fei suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented, his whole body felt like it was falling apart, and he was in unbearable pain. The blood on his shoulder instantly stained the tree trunk red.

"Grandmaster...Grandmaster power?"

Jin Baoer and the members of the Ancient Martial Arts Club were trembling with fear and speechless.

They were used to bullying others at Jincheng University by taking advantage of their status as martial artists, never imagining that Qin Quan, who was about the same age as them, was actually a genuine grandmaster.

Qin Quan's move completely shocked everyone.
