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

"You're going straight to Gu Yue Xuan?!"

Xie Bingning's beautiful eyes widened. "Isn't this too risky?"

"Although it's just my guess that Moyi Hall knows you're in Jiangcheng, if I'm right, they might have already set up an ambush for you!"

"Wouldn't going to Guyue Pavilion be like walking into a trap?"

She hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice considerably, "If my intuition is correct, you've never completely trusted me, right?"

"Why do you trust me so much now? Aren't you afraid I'll tip off Mo Yi Tang and betray you?"

"Since I'm already here, what's the use of being afraid?" Qin Ge had already considered this. "If the Moyi Hall already knows I'm in Jiangcheng and wants to attack me here, do you think I can escape?"

"Even if we don't set up an ambush at Guyue Pavilion, can't we set up an ambush elsewhere?"

"I can't wait that long, I might as well go directly to Guyuexuan."

Qin Ge suddenly grabbed Xie Bingning's slender waist. "Did you deliberately arrange to meet me in a place like this, just in case I do something to you?"

"You think I can't do this kind of thing?"

"With the sky as our bed and the earth as our foundation, there is much to be done!"

"That's perfect, I haven't tried it yet!"

"Here?!" Xie Bingning's body tensed, her heart pounding. "This...this isn't quite right, is it?"

"Since you've already decided to go to Guyuexuan, why don't we just go to the hotel instead?"

"Just kidding!" Qin Ge released her grip, a smile appearing on her face. "Send me the information and location of Gu Yuexuan, and I'll go there myself later."

"Keep an eye on things normally the rest of the time, and let me know immediately if the target appears."

"Okay." Xie Bingning lowered her head, her pretty face slightly flushed. "Um, the hotel you asked me to arrange is all set up. Aren't you going over?"

"It's only been a few days, and you're already thinking about my abs?" Qin Ge pinched Xie Bingning's chin. "I'm quite happy living in the Yunshan Villa right now, so I won't be going to hotels for the time being."

He had thought about this. If Mo Yitang hadn't noticed him yet, the Fu family would be a good cover.

Most importantly, his current target is Shen Yulan, a martial artist at the Earth Realm!

The next morning, Shen Yulan knocked on Qin Ge's door.

"How long are you going to sleep?"

"So lazy, not at all like a martial artist!"

Shen Yulan was wearing a white training uniform, and a few strands of her hair were damp with sweat.

Qin Ge glanced at the time. "It's only eight o'clock. Is there something you need?"

"You go about your business, don't worry about me."

This is so bizarre. When did we become this close that we even have to interfere with each other's sleeping arrangements?

"It's not that I want to interfere, but you're living in someone else's house, so can't you at least be a little more considerate of your surroundings?"

"Uncle Fu and the others have already gone out to work, and you're still fast asleep! What kind of behavior is that!"

Shen Yulan was very unconvinced. How could someone so lazy be so much better at martial arts than her?

"I don't have to go to work, why should I get up so early?"

"Seriously, Fu Cheng and his team are working way too hard! They're already so rich, yet they're still working this hard. When will they ever have enough money?"

Fu Cheng had just landed a big project yesterday, so the whole family went out to celebrate.

Since they had all been drinking, Fu Cheng's family didn't talk much with Qin Ge and his group, and Qin Ge didn't actually know much about the Fu family's situation.

But being able to live in such a large villa speaks volumes.

"Uncle Fu wasn't always this rich!"

When Fu Cheng was young, he worked with Shen Yulan's father, Shen Linfeng, at the Jiangcheng Martial Arts Hall. During a mission, Fu Cheng made a big mistake that led to the mission's failure.

Both of them were expelled from the Shadow Martial Arts Hall. Fu Cheng knew that his friend had been implicated because of him, and he had felt guilty all these years.

Shen Linfeng never blamed Fu Cheng, but being expelled from Yingwu Hall was still the biggest regret of his life. He did not want to stay in Jiangcheng anymore, so he went to Jinling to develop his career.

Because of his regrets, Shen Linfeng sent Shen Yulan to Jinling Yingwu Hall when she was less than five years old, and she became Qiao Song's disciple.

At the time, Qiao Song had no intention of taking on any disciples, but seeing Shen Yulan's exceptional talent, he made an exception and accepted her.

In his early years, Fu Cheng was quite depressed and often relied on Shen Linfeng's help to get by.

Later, I don't know when, I started doing construction work, and it grew bigger and bigger. I only recently bought this villa.

On the day of her check-in, Shen Yulan's parents came to Jiangcheng to congratulate her. Shen Yulan did not come, but she knew about it.

"He's actually a martial artist?"

Qin Ge was extremely surprised, then realized something was amiss. "Wait a minute, how come I can't tell at all that he's a martial artist?"

"The mission failed back then, and Uncle Fu was seriously injured and lost all his cultivation." Shen Yulan said with regret, "That's probably why he was so depressed in his early years."

"But at least we've finally made it out of this!"

"They have worked very hard to get to where they are today, which is why they cherish it so much and go out to work very early in the morning."

Shen Yulan was also here for the first time last night, and she was quite surprised that Fu Cheng lived in such a luxurious villa.

"Really?" Qin Ge still felt something was off, but couldn't quite put her finger on it; it was just a baseless intuition.

"Are you going out today?" Shen Yulan handed Qin Ge a key card. "This is the villa's key card. Remember to take it with you when you go out, so as not to cause trouble for others."

Qin Ge hesitated for a moment before taking the key card.

He had originally planned to visit Guyuexuan today, and if he didn't find anything there, he would stay at the hotel arranged by Xie Bingning.

It was obvious that Jiang Mingyue didn't like him and Shen Yulan living here, and he himself didn't care either.

But after hearing Shen Yulan talk about Fu Cheng, his intuition told him that now was not the time to leave.

Even if her intuition is wrong, it won't matter much. Xie Bingning needs to keep an eye on Gu Yuexuan, and now he's alone at the hotel anyway.

There's still a chance to try and woo Shen Yulan here, and Fu Xixue seems pretty good too...

"Don't you usually need to cultivate?"

Shen Yulan changed the subject; she still wanted to ask Qin Ge that question, but she still couldn't bring herself to say it.

"Of course I need to cultivate!" Qin Ge replied without hesitation. "However, ordinary cultivation methods are not very meaningful to me."

"I have my own way of doing things, you wouldn't understand."

"I know!" Shen Yulan blurted out, "Yes...yes..."

She struggled for a long time without coming to a conclusion, but her face turned as red as a sunset.

Qin Ge paused for half a second, then asked, "You knew?"

"Then tell me, what do you know?"

He was unaware of the conversations between Yu Jinghong and Shen Yulan, which naturally surprised him.

"Go wash up and come downstairs for breakfast!"

Shen Yulan ultimately couldn't bring herself to say it and fled back to her room.

"baffling!"

After finishing breakfast, Qin Ge left the Yunshan Villa and quickly found Gu Yuexuan based on the location sent by Xie Bingning.

"Welcome to Guyuexuan..."

"It's you?!"

Qin Ge and the woman who came to greet them exclaimed almost simultaneously, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.
