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

"Master has agreed, please come with me!"

"Agree to what?"

Shen Yulan looked puzzled. "You agreed to take you to see Jinghong? What did you think it was?"

"Thank you so much!" Qin Ge thought Qiao Song had finally come to his senses and agreed to let him take Yu Jinghong away, which would save him a lot of trouble.

No problem, let's see the person first.

Yang Xin'er rubbed her temples. This was troublesome; she probably couldn't stop them now.

In a room in the backyard of the Shadow Martial Hall, Yu Jinghong's tall figure stood by the window, his head bowed and his eyes glazed over.

She noticed the door being pushed open, and her eyelids lifted slightly, but she didn't turn around or look back.

She frowned when she sensed a presence getting closer and closer, and just as she was about to turn around, she was hugged from behind.

"court death!!"

Yu Jinghong's heart skipped a beat. From the beginning, she thought the person who came was Shen Yulan, because since she came to Jinling Shadow Martial Arts Hall and moved into this room, only Shen Yulan had come.

Only then did she realize something was wrong; the person hugging her was clearly a man!

What horrified her even more was that she couldn't break free from the man's arms, clearly indicating that the person behind her was far stronger than her!

Who is so bold as to come to Shadow Martial Hall's territory and make indecent advances towards her?

"Who are you?!"

"Let me go!"

In her panic, Yu Jinghong noticed that the arms holding her suddenly loosened slightly. She turned around and then froze.

Looking at the familiar face before her, she opened her mouth several times, but no sound came out.

Yu Jinghong's chest heaved violently, and one hand trembled as it reached out, only to recoil as if electrocuted the moment it touched Qin Ge's cheek. Then it reached out again, "R-really it's you?"

Her nose tingled, her eyes welled up with tears, and her eyes misted over.

"Why is your temper still so bad?" Qin Ge wiped away Yu Jinghong's tears and hugged her. "You've also lost weight."

"You need to eat more to make up for it later, otherwise it will affect your touch."

Yu Jinghong: "..."

Yang Xin'er, still standing at the door, watched calmly, her eyes as still as an ancient well.

Instead, Shen Yulan's cheeks flushed slightly. "Ahem, can you two please be a little more considerate? There are other people here!"

"The others?" Qin Ge glanced at Shen Yulan sideways. "Do you want a hug too?"

"Then come over here!"

As he spoke, he freed up one hand and beckoned to Shen Yulan with a serious gesture.

Shen Yulan: "..."

"You bastard, how did you even survive?" Yu Jinghong pushed Qin Ge away; she wasn't as shameless as him.

"I'll tell you slowly when we get back." Qin Ge took Yu Jinghong's hand and walked away.

Shen Yulan was startled and quickly stopped Qin Ge and the other person, "Wait a minute, what are you doing?"

"Jinghong, you can't leave now. Don't make things difficult for me."

Qin Ge said calmly, "If you tell her no, she'll listen to me, but I won't listen to you."

"Get out of the way."

"I thank you for taking care of Jinghong these past few days, and I also thank you for bringing me here, but I want to make it clear to you that I am definitely taking Jinghong with me."

"I won't lay a hand on you for Jinghong's sake, so you'd better not force me to slap you during this happy moment of reuniting with her!"

Yu Jinghong glared at Qin Ge, "Don't talk to Yu Lan like that. She's just doing her job. Why are you scaring her?"

After she arrived at the Shadow Martial Arts Hall, Shen Yulan took care of her, talked to her, and tried to help her resolve her inner conflicts.

Although it didn't have much effect, she was grateful inside.

"Who scared her?" Qin Ge asked seriously. "I told you, I'm going to take you away no matter what, and no one can stop me."

"I told her from the beginning that if she couldn't make the decision, then she should call Qiao Song over. What can I do if that old man wants to put on airs!"

"Don't try to persuade me otherwise. If you're not leaving, I'll stay here too. Shadow Martial Arts Hall will even provide meals!"

"Can you please stop?" Yu Jinghong tried to act coquettishly, but it sounded very stiff, and even she felt awkward.

"I am also a member of the Shadow Martial Hall, just from a different branch. The Shadow Martial Hall has its rules. What you are doing is not only putting Yu Lan in a difficult position, but also putting me in a difficult position."

"Master Qiao is fair and just. He will release me once he has investigated the matter thoroughly. You should go back to Donghai first. I will find you when I get back."

"No way!" Qin Ge wasn't about to back down. "When will we ever get here?"

"Besides, I'm not familiar with Qiao Song, and I don't trust him!"

He glanced at Yang Xin'er and remembered what she had once said.

Who knows if Qiao Song will succumb to the pressure and push Yu Jinghong out, making her take all the responsibility?

"Kid, it's good to be confident, but with me here, you're not leaving!"

Arrogance itself isn't right or wrong; the key is whether you have the ability to be arrogant!

A dignified voice came from behind Shen Yulan, and Qiao Song appeared.

Shen Yulan's eyelids twitched, and she quickly turned around, "Master?!"

"What brings you here?"

Qiao Song nodded slightly. "If I didn't come, wouldn't someone bully my disciple?"

"Old man, don't brag!" Qin Ge sized up Qiao Song and felt that he wasn't anything special, just an ordinary old man with a slightly stronger aura.

"Even if you're here, I can still bully you if I want!"

Shen Yulan rolled her eyes. Is the point right now whether I get bullied or not?

Men are all the same, no matter how old or young, none of them are serious!

Qin Ge continued, "Why are you so annoying?"

"Me, annoying?" Qiao Song was baffled.

"Isn't that right?" Qin Ge said with disgust. "We said we wanted to see you when we came, but you put on airs and said you wouldn't see us."

"I told you not to see me, fine, just stay put and enjoy your walnuts, but you had to show up and cause trouble at this crucial moment!"

"Aren't you annoying?"

"Don't you think this looks more sophisticated?"

"I don't know where he picked up this bad habit!"

"But you don't need to feel inferior. Many people have this problem, you're not the only one."

Qiao Song was speechless for a moment. No one had dared to speak to him like that for many years. Although it was unpleasant to hear, it was quite refreshing and unconventional.

Yang Xin'er and Shen Yulan remained silent, while Yu Jinghong's heart pounded with nervousness.

This is a powerful expert at the Innate Realm! Doesn't this guy feel any fear at all?

"If you don't say anything, then I'll take that as a sign of remorse and repentance!"

"I won't waste any more words with you." Qin Ge pondered for a moment, then looked at Yu Jinghong. "I'm taking her away now. Are you going to stop me?"

"If you have any objections, you can state your conditions. What do you want in exchange for me taking her away?"

"I think you shouldn't be in such a difficult position. How about this, I'll fight you!"

"If I win, you'll let me take her away. You'll have to figure out the rest yourself, and you're not allowed to cause her any trouble afterward, okay?"
