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

Yang Jianjun's courage faltered. He had just gritted his teeth and persevered by counting each bucket, and every bucket less meant a little more hope.

He persevered only because of this belief and his own willpower. If he had to do it again, he really couldn't bear it. It would be too desperate!

"Just kidding!"

"The poison in your body has been completely eliminated, but you are still weak. I will prescribe another medicine for you to nourish and strengthen your body."

"You'll be full of energy in less than half a month!"

Qin Ge pulled out a clean bath towel to dry his hands, a mischievous smile on his face.

Yang Jianjun: "..."

"How is it?!"

Upon seeing Qin Ge emerge from the room, Yang Xin'er and Qin Ge, who had been anxiously waiting, immediately rushed forward, speaking in unison.

"Mission accomplished! The poison has been completely neutralized!"

As soon as Qin Ge finished speaking, Yang Xin'er and the other person rushed into the room.

Qin Ge ignored Xu Manlin but stopped Yang Xin'er, saying, "She's still naked, what are you going in for?"

Yang Xin'er: "......."

She discovered that Qin Ge's greatest strength wasn't martial arts or medical skills, but his mouth!

He always manages to leave people speechless with just one sentence, and...

I can't say, I can't say!

At the warm invitation of Yang Jianjun and Xu Manlin, Qin Ge stayed at the Yang family's house for dinner.

During the meal, the two showered Qin Ge with all the praise they knew, saying he was a benefactor to the Yang family, and that everything in the Yang family had started to improve since his appearance.

Yang Xin'er's smile is so sweet it's almost cheesy.

After the meal, Yang Jianjun asked Yang Xin'er to arrange a room for Qin Ge to rest.

Qin Ge did not refuse. The Yang family's matter was resolved, and it was time to deal with the Lin family's matter, tonight!

Detoxifying Yang Jianjun consumed a lot of spiritual energy, so I need to replenish it properly, just in case.

Yang Xin'er naturally couldn't escape Qin Ge's "clutches." For Qin Ge, was there any way to recover spiritual energy faster than dual cultivation?

And so, the plum blossoms bloomed once, twice, three times...

Yang Xin'er became Qin Ge's personal charging station, and the two of them enjoyed it immensely, even becoming more and more enthusiastic as they went along with it.

......

Qin Ge sneaked into the Lin family home and, following the partial map drawn by Yang Xin'er, quickly found the courtyard where Lin Yao lived.

He knocked out the two guards at the gate and entered the courtyard without any hindrance.

There were still three people guarding Lin Yao's door: Granny Chen and two other men.

"You are... Qin Ge!!" When Granny Chen saw Qin Ge appear, she was so shocked that she looked several years younger.

Qin Ge knocked the two men unconscious, then gave Granny Chen a look that told her to figure it out herself.

A person who isn't ruthless can't stand firm. Old Mrs. Chen was quite sensible; she chopped herself in the neck and then collapsed to the ground.

As soon as Qin Ge entered the room, Granny Chen slowly opened her eyes, then closed them again, continuing to play dead.

"I already told you I have no appetite, don't come again!"

Upon hearing footsteps, Lin Yao immediately spoke, her tone extremely impatient.

"You've lost weight and have no appetite. Are you missing me?"

Qin Ge's voice rang out, and Lin Yao's delicate body trembled, causing her to turn around abruptly.

Upon seeing that familiar face, the face she had longed for day and night, the face that haunted her dreams, her body froze, and her beautiful eyes widened even further.

Qin Ge smiled and stepped forward, gently stroking Lin Yao's pretty face. "You've really lost a lot of weight. What, are you on a hunger strike?"

Lin Yao's slender hand trembled as she reached out towards Qin Ge's face, only to quickly withdraw it the moment she touched him.

"Is it really you?!"

She cupped Qin Ge's face in her hands, "Why are you here? You really came?"

What followed was a long, passionate kiss.

"You bastard, it's been so long since we last met, and the first thing you do is shove me!"

"There's no one else here to grab! Every movement is a reflection of my longing for you..."

"You bastard, can't you even be a human being?"

"cannot!"

"Do it or don't, it's up to you!"

"Do!"

"Hey~! That's not what I meant, that wasn't a question... um..."

It's hard to say.

Qin Ge was just teasing Lin Yao, and once she was so engrossed in his teasing that she couldn't stop, she stopped what she was doing.

"You scoundrel!" Lin Yao could only glare at him angrily, restraining herself as she straightened her clothes. "I don't know how you got here, but you'd better leave now!"

"If someone finds out, we'll be in big trouble!"

"I can't leave now!" Qin Ge shook his head decisively. "Now that we're here, we have to solve this problem completely!"

"You're under house arrest, and I'm just going to abandon you?"

"Besides, your mother wanted to kill me, so I have to get an explanation from her."

Lin Yao was only touched for half a second when Qin Ge's next words struck her like a thunderbolt. "W-what did you say?"

"My mom wants to kill you?"

"No way! You must be mistaken. Why would she want to kill you? It's impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"I also think she went a bit too far!" Qin Ge shrugged. "But the two assassins who came to kill me admitted that they were sent by Han Xiuyun!"

"Bullshit!"

Han Xiuyun kicked open the door, her anger blazing.

Granny Chen followed behind, her expression strange, not daring to look at Qin Ge.

"Mom?" Lin Yao's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly broke free from Qin Ge's embrace and stood up.

She secretly rejoiced that she hadn't gone all out with Qin Ge just now, otherwise...

I might as well just smash my head against a wall and die!

Lin Yao stood between her mother and Qin Ge, arms outstretched. "Mom, would you believe me if I said he was just passing by?"

"Get out of my way!" Han Xiuyun pulled her daughter aside, one hand on her hip and the other pointing at Qin Ge. "You better explain yourself first!"

"Who wants to kill you, and even sent assassins?"

"Then why didn't you die?"

"You damned bastard!"

"If I hadn't happened to overhear, wouldn't you have maliciously slandered and defamed me in front of Yao Yao?"

Qin Ge was stunned. How could this old woman be so confident?

If he hadn't heard the two assassins say they were sent by Han Xiuyun, he would have almost believed them!

Could it be that she deliberately puts on such a shrewish image to conceal her cunning and scheming nature?

Qin Ge tilted her head and looked at Lin Yao, "Can I hit her?"

Lin Yao: "..."

She felt she needed to ease the tension between the two of them first. "Qin Ge, don't be like this. My mom is quite reasonable when she's not throwing a tantrum."

"Is there some misunderstanding between you two?"

"How dare you talk like that, you brat!" Han Xiuyun immediately became displeased. "You need to understand, throwing a tantrum and being provoked are two different things!"

She glared angrily at Qin Ge, "You little bastard, don't think I'm saying this because I'm afraid of you!"

"I did it, and I didn't; nobody can slander me!"

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Qin Ge said calmly. "The day I met you, I was targeted by assassins as soon as I left Zuixianlou!"

"Both assassins admitted they were sent by Han Xiuyun. Tell me, are you named Han Xiuyun?"

"They even call you 'Lord Han,' how impressive!"

"Just admit it. What's there to deny? I won't kill you for Lin Yao's sake."

If I had known Han Xiuyun was like this, I would have spared her life back then. What a pity.
