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

Yu Jinghong was startled and anxious. A sense of grievance welled up in her heart, her nose stung, and tears welled up in the eyes of this proud woman who was like a peacock.

"You lost!" Qin Ge ripped the pendant off Yu Jinghong's neck. "I'll keep this for you for now. I'll return it to you whenever you fulfill your bet."

Yu Jinghong was stunned for a moment, then realized that she seemed to have regained her strength. She quickly broke free from Qin Ge's embrace and rushed forward for more than ten meters before stopping and turning around.

"You—!" She subconsciously touched her neck, her long black hair cascading down her shoulders, exuding a broken beauty.

Qin Ge shook the hairband Yu Jing used to tie her hair. "What, are you trying to renege on your promise?"

"If you're not satisfied, we can fight it again!"

"But if you lose again, one month will become two months!"

"I...I lost." Yu Jinghong's cheeks were still flushed, her fingertips were clenched so tightly they were white, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, filled with resentment.

Qin Ge walked forward and stuffed the hairband into Yu Jinghong's hand, saying, "I'll be waiting for you to report for duty!"

"Ahem, are you guys done fighting?"

"It seems Brother Qin has the upper hand! Jinghong, you're honoring your bet, so don't make things difficult for me, the notary!"

Shen Tingzhi and Yan Chengrui had already turned around and started speaking one after the other.

They all realized they had just misunderstood, and they had all misunderstood at the same time!

I don't know why, but I feel a little regretful.

The atmosphere was really set, but things didn't go as they had planned!

......

"Who goes there?!"

"Yu Jinghong?!"

Because of Li Canglan's matter, Su Wenxi remained vigilant at all times, and immediately flew over when she noticed someone appearing.

When she saw Yu Jinghong, her mind went blank for a moment. Hadn't the people from the Shadow Martial Hall come by yesterday?

"Su Wenxi?" Yu Jinghong was also surprised to see Su Wenxi at Qin Ge's house. "What are you doing here?"

"You...you know me?" Su Wenxi was a little surprised. As a martial artist, she recognized many people in the Shadow Martial Hall.

Yu Jinghong is the daughter of Yu Xiaoyun, the head of the Donghai Shadow Martial Arts Hall, and is also a martial arts genius, so she naturally knows this.

You could even say that Yu Jinghong is her idol and the direction she strives for.

She was a rare martial arts genius in the Su family, but she was no match for Yu Jinghong.

Before meeting Qin Ge, Su Wenxi was only at the minor completion level of the Profound Realm, while Yu Jinghong was already at the minor completion level of the Earth Realm at that time. The difference was enormous!

The two had never met face to face, so how could Yu Jinghong know her without her being surprised?

"I've heard of the Su family's martial arts genius." Yu Jinghong said calmly, carefully examining Su Wenxi before a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. "You've broken through to the peak of the Profound Realm?"

"I thought it would be quite impressive if you could reach the peak of the Profound Realm before the age of thirty, but I didn't expect you to do it so early. It seems I underestimated you."

Su Wenxi laughed awkwardly, "Miss Yu is joking. I'm miles behind you, what kind of genius am I?"

"Do you think I'm making fun of you, or just being polite?" Yu Jinghong's eyes were calm, her expression serious. "There is indeed a significant gap between you and me, that's a fact."

"But this isn't necessarily due to talent. If you had the Shadow Martial Hall's techniques and resources, you might not be any worse than me. That's my honest opinion!"

"If you were truly that mediocre, I would never have known about you."

Let's not talk about this anymore.

She changed the subject abruptly, "You still haven't told me why you're here?"

"This..." Su Wenxi also wanted to know why. Was it because Qin Ge tricked her into teaching Yang Xiaomeng martial arts?

"I am Qin Ge's bodyguard."

"And you, Miss Yu?"

"You've come looking for Qin Ge?"

"Is it for business or personal reasons?"

There are only a few people living in this house. Besides Qin Ge, who else could possibly disturb Miss Yu to come here?

"I did come to see Qin Ge." Yu Jinghong blushed slightly as she thought about yesterday's battle. "Does that guy still need someone to protect him?"

She felt that Su Wenxi was somewhat superfluous as a bodyguard. Even she herself couldn't beat Qin Ge. If Qin Ge couldn't handle the enemy, what could Su Wenxi do?

"He's upstairs." Su Wenxi understood what Yu Jinghong meant and felt a little embarrassed.

Li Canglan relied entirely on Qin Ge when he arrived; her bodyguard was utterly useless, which hurt his pride.

Yu Jinghong came alone, so it shouldn't be on official business. Moreover, judging from the meaning of her words, she seems to have already learned about Qin Ge's skills.

So, it's already been fought?

It looks like he not only fought, but also got beaten up!

Otherwise, how could this proud and arrogant Miss Yu be so good-natured and patient?

That bastard is a womanizer; now he's even gotten involved with the daughter of the Shadow Martial Hall Master!

"Miss Yu is here!" Qin Ge appeared slowly, a smile on her face.

He already knew Yu Jinghong was coming, and seeing that she knew Su Wenxi, he listened for a while out of curiosity.

"I thought you'd be staying away for a few more days before finally deciding to come!"

"Come on, Wenxi, let me introduce you!"

Qin Ge waved, "This is Miss Yu Jinghong, my new maid."

"From now on, she'll be in charge of all the housework, big and small. She can do everything – laundry, cooking, mopping, serving tea and water, etc.!"

"A maid?" Su Wenxi's mind went blank for a moment, and she almost crashed.

Who would do something like making Yu Jinghong a maid?

However, if it were Qin Ge, it would seem quite reasonable...

Most importantly, although Yu Jinghong's expression was unpleasant, she did not object, which can be considered as tacit agreement!

Su Wenxi glanced at Qin Ge, her feelings complicated.

How did that bastard manage to get someone like Yu Jinghong to willingly become his servant?

That was her idol, the goal she strived for in her martial arts training!

"Don't get cocky, and don't even think about taking this opportunity to make things difficult for me. It'll only last a month!"

Yu Jinghong's attitude remained firm, but her words lacked conviction and carried a hint of embarrassment.

She then realized that running into someone she knew here was not a good thing for her.

"Once my martial arts skills have improved, I will challenge you again, and I will definitely beat you to a pulp!"

Yu Jinghong tried to regain some face by showing great ambition.

"In the future?" Qin Ge asked casually. "Let's talk about that after you've improved your skills!"

"I told you yesterday, if you're not satisfied, we can fight again. If you lose, it'll just be an extra month."

"Or you can just renege on the debt. Anyway, you're from the Shadow Martial Hall, so there's not much I can do if you try to back out. Think about it?"

"I, Yu Jinghong, always keep my word and never renege on my promises!" Yu Jinghong knew that Qin Ge was using a feigned retreat as a tactic to advance, but she had no choice but to accept the bet herself.

"Then please!" Qin Ge stepped aside to make way, then pointed to a room on the right side of the first floor. "You'll be staying in that room starting today, don't be lazy!"

The young lady of the Shadow Martial Hall, a master of the Earth Realm, still possessing the Yuan Yin technique—Qin Ge could only admire her...
