Chapter 655: Leave it to Me
"Hmm..."
Helian Wudi withdrew his gaze from the two middle-aged men, and what Yuan Tiangang referred to as "the mountain" meant those great sects hidden from the world.
This old man's secrets run deep. Even after so many years, I had no idea he was acquainted with anyone from the major sects.
After pondering for a moment, he finally asked, "Alliance Hierarch Yuan, do you have some kind of grudge against Qin Yu's grandfather? As far as I know, he was just a country old man?"
Helian Wudi always suspected that Qin Yu had obtained Li Jiutian's legacy, so naturally, he had his background thoroughly investigated.
However, what exactly Li Jiutian's legacy was, and whether it was in Qin Yu's hands, he could never be certain.
Now that Yuan Tiangang was also aiming at Qin Yu, it wouldn't hurt to glean some information from him to confirm whether my speculation was correct or not.
"Helian President, to be frank, it's for the Shen Zhao Jing that I made a move on that old man. You know that I've been stuck at the late stage of Half-Step Pill Holding for a long time. Shen Zhao Jing is one of the top mental methods of the inner Jianghu, and practicing it would naturally allow me to break through easily.
To my surprise, that old man was tight-lipped. Even with every bone in his body broken, he didn't reveal a single word. And Qin Yu, that lad who went from an unknown bodyguard to a master capable of shaking the Ye Family, must have practiced Shen Zhao Jing.
Though I've now broken through to Pill Holding and no longer need Shen Zhao Jing, I killed his grandfather after all. Sooner or later, he will come seeking vengeance. Taking advantage of the fact that he's been mutually wounded in his fight with the Ye Family, I'll take action and kill him first!"
Yuan Tiangang didn't conceal the facts and spoke in great detail.
"Shen Zhao Jing?"
Helian Wudi lightly stroked his chin. The message alone was not enough to confirm that Li Jiutian's legacy was in Qin Yu's hands.
Since the Shen Zhao Jing was a lost mental method, it wasn't attributed to any specific sect.
Meaning that if Zhang San could practice it, Li Si could practice it too. Without full confidence, I didn't want to become enemies with Qin Yu.
Since Yuan Tiangang wanted to make a move on the lad, let him do it. It could also be an opportunity to probe and see how many more cards Qin Yu had yet to reveal.
Having made up his mind, Helian Wudi then smiled slightly and said, "Alliance Hierarch Yuan, if there's anything I can help you with, just say the word."
"If, President Helian, you could find a way to lure that lad to a more open area in the suburbs, that would be best. After all, he's the leader of Dragon Gate, and we can't just openly kill him!"
Yuan Tiangang was still somewhat wary of the Dragon Gate backing Qin Yu.
"Alright, leave it to me. I've arranged a banquet for noon to welcome and refresh everyone!"
Helian Wudi readily agreed.
"Thank you, President Helian. This modest gift is not meant as a token of respect!"
Yuan Tiangang took a long, elegantly crafted box from his sleeve. Inside was a hundred-year-old wild ginseng, which could strengthen the body and enhance cultivation when consumed by martial practitioners.
"Hehe, this ginseng is truly excellent. I'll accept it with gratitude, thank you Alliance Hierarch Yuan!"
Helian Wudi openly accepted the gift before leading Yuan Tiangang and his group to his own restaurant.
Qin Yu was in Wu City; it certainly wasn't a good idea to make a move in broad daylight.
The plan was to use a ruse to lure him to the suburbs at night to kill him. Of course, before his death, I definitely had to interrogate him to find out whether Li Jiutian's legacy was really on him.
At that moment.
In Helian Wudi's luxurious villa.
"Mmm...."
Murong Qingcheng slowly opened her eyes, letting out a pained groan. Her back was scorching, no idea how many lashes that deviant Helian Wudi had whipped her with, causing her to faint from the pain.
It also disrupted my plan to drug him. If it came to brute force, I was definitely no match for him.
Although I'm a late-stage Half-Step Pill Holding expert, I had taken shortcuts, absorbing others' cultivation. In actual combat, I was surely lacking.
There was no other choice but to continue bearing the humiliation and remain hidden at Helian Wudi's side, to find an opportunity to drug him, so he would lose his cultivation and I could strike him down.
Murong Qingcheng flipped off the covers and walked into the bathroom, stark naked.
Her mood was somewhat complicated. She had thought that last night, Helian Wudi would take her virginity, but she didn't expect him to be a eunuch, incapable of consummating. Although she managed to preserve her purity, she didn't know when she would have another opportunity to drug him.
Squeak...
Murong Qingcheng pushed open the bathroom door, turning her back to the mirror, barely able to see the multiple lacerations covering her smooth back just out of sight.
"Elders of the sect, my brothers and sisters, I will surely avenge you all!"
With gritted teeth, Murong Qingcheng's eyes flickered with a cold glint.
On Qin Yu's side.
Last night, with his beloved by his side, he had slain deeply and sweetly. By the time he woke up, it was almost ten o'clock.
He circulated his mental method and his True Qi had almost fully recovered, making him feel more at ease. Now, even if he encountered any danger, he at least had the ability to protect himself.
"Wife?"
Seeing the empty bed, Qin Yu called out.
"You're awake, I'm out on the balcony!"
Yan Mingyu had woken up earlier and left the bed to deal with some matters on her mobile phone outside on the balcony, letting Qin Yu rest a bit longer.
"You scared me to death!"
Qin Yu quickly ran to the curtained balcony and, seeing Yan Mingyu in her robe checking her phone, laughed and said, "I thought it was all a dream and you were still with the Ye Family!"
"Once we return to Jinling, I will stay by your side every day!"
Yan Mingyu put down her phone and tenderly said to Qin Yu.
"Hehe, let's go downstairs. Wenrou and her cousin are coming over!"
Qin Yu took Yan Mingyu's hand and they went back to the bedroom.
After changing their clothes, they headed down to the lobby.
Shen Yubai and his nephew were having tea in the lounge area. Seeing Qin Yu and Yan Mingyu come down, he waved them over, "This way!"
"Xiao Bai, a friend is coming over later. Arrange something for lunch... Hmm... I'll get a card at your hotel and put it on my account!"
As Qin Yu walked over with Yan Mingyu, he said he couldn't keep freeload at Shen Yubai's hotel – it wasn't his style.
"Brother Qin, what are you talking about? Is that what you call feeling like an outsider? Just the fact that you helped me stand up again, I wouldn't mind giving you the hotel!"
Shen Yubai said with bulging eyes.
"Well... then I won't be shy!"
Not insisting further, Qin Yu sat down with Yan Mingyu. He then took out his phone, found Lu Wenrou's number, and dialed it.
Beep beep...
Once the call connected, he asked, "Wenrou, where are you now? Good, I'll send you my location, come straight over!"
Following that, Qin Yu sent the location of Shen Yubai's hotel.
About half an hour later.
Lu Wenrou, with her distinctive short hair looking chic and efficient, walked in with a slightly overweight, plain-looking young man who could even be considered a bit ugly.
"Qin Yu!"
Having not seen him for almost a month, Lu Wenrou greeted Qin Yu affectionately before introducing the man next to her, "This is my cousin, Ou Changfeng!"
What do you think?
