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

"The medicine is real, and it works really well. Without something real, how could you attract fish to bite?"

"Mr. Sun, I will do my best to protect your safety, but after all, we are in the open while the enemy is in the dark, and danger still exists, so please think it over carefully."

Qin Ge turned to Sun Miaomiao and said, "Miss Sun, it's not that I didn't want to come myself, but I don't have the same reputation and prestige as your grandfather in the medical field. As you just learned, I'm also a member of the Shadow Martial Hall."

"Once Shadow Martial Hall gets involved, it will inevitably make the enemy more vigilant. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it's a trap, so how could they possibly fall for it?"

"No need for further explanation!" Sun Shizheng raised a hand. "Isn't it just danger?"

"If there's no danger, I wouldn't want to help with this!"

"Consider it me doing something for my deceased friend, not entirely to help you, and besides, you could have ignored this, right?"

"Since you have this intention, how can I be content to lag behind?"

He paused for a while, then said, "Let's get down to business. When will your medicine be ready?"

Qin Ge replied, "It depends on when we can gather all the medicinal herbs; probably in the next day or two!"

Sun Shizheng pondered for a moment, "Going through the formal procedures isn't appropriate. By the time you've gone through all that—drug registration, business licenses, and so on—it'll be too late!"

"We need to think of other ways, find another path."

Qin Ge chatted with Sun Shizheng and Sun Miaomiao for a long time before arranging for them to stay at the Shadow Martial Hall.

......

Night falls in Shen Yulan's room.

"Your temper is just as fiery as your figure!"

"If I act so recklessly and die at the hands of that old bastard Yi Han, wouldn't I regret it for the rest of my life?"

Qin Ge's fingertips seemed to carry an electric current as they gently traced the graceful curves of her body, causing her to tremble slightly from time to time.

"I was so angry I felt like my skull was about to burst; I didn't care about anything else!"

"That old bastard is going too far! I was just hoping to stab him a couple of times and I'd make a profit!"

Shen Yulan was still furious when she thought about it. "If I had known that old bastard Yi Han was here to settle a personal score and not on behalf of headquarters, I should have done what you said and dug a big pit beforehand to lure them in, then blown them to bits!"

Qin Ge laughed, "It's alright, they're in the pit now too, a cesspool!"

"In the end, it's because you're too weak. If you were stronger than Yi Han and the others, you wouldn't have suffered such injustice even if you weren't on guard."

"I want to enter the Heavenly Realm, will you try your best?"

"If you want to reach the Heavenly Realm, what am I supposed to strive for?" Shen Yulan was completely baffled. "Wait, weren't you already at the Heavenly Realm? That doesn't seem right either, you're stronger than the Heavenly Realm..."

"Of course you have to work hard. If you don't reach the Heavenly Realm, how can I..."

"Pah!" Shen Yulan grabbed Qin Ge's hand, her eyes darting around, her breathing quickening. "Then why don't you hurry up..."

......

The next morning, Qin Ge and Shen Yulan were having breakfast when Chang Siyao rushed in, "Master, more people from headquarters have arrived!"

Qin Ge's chopsticks paused slightly in mid-air, and an impatient look appeared on her face. "Why is someone else here?"

"They arrived really quickly. Has news of Yi Han and the others being detained by us reached Beidu?"

"How many people have arrived? Who are they?"

"One, one!" Chang Siyao said, slightly embarrassed. "He said his name is Han Che, and he specifically asked to see you, the hall master."

"Master, I can't see through Han Che's abilities at all, but I can sense that he's very strong!"

"What are you panicking about, it's just one person!" Qin Ge gave Chang Siyao a disdainful look. "Go and bring him here!"

"I'd like to see just how strong he is. If he comes to rescue Yi Han and the others, or tries to plead for their release, I'll throw him into the latrine too!"

"Let him soak in it for seven days, like a maggot..."

"Are you trying to stop a person from eating?" Shen Yulan interrupted Qin Ge, a small steamed bun on her chopsticks hovering near her mouth for a long time without being able to put it in.

She finally couldn't eat anymore and put down her chopsticks. "Fine, just say it, but you had to make it so vivid!"

"What are you standing there for? Go on!" Qin Ge's appetite was completely unaffected. "Why don't you eat something before you go?"

"Okay!" Chang Siyao replied.

Just as he was about to leave, Qin Ge's expression shifted slightly. "No need to bother, he's here."

Upon hearing this, Chang Siyao and Shen Yulan both turned to look towards the door. A moment later, a man appeared.

It was Han Che.

"It's you?!"

Qin Ge looked at Han Che's face and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

He had seen Han Che at Wangjiang Pavilion, but at that time he did not know his name.

Is there something going on between Han Che and Han Beichen?

But didn't Han Beichen say that he had no children, no relatives, and no friends?

"Master Qin, we meet again."

Han Che's tone was neither warm nor cold. "I'm here today to deliver a message from the head of the main hall."

He glanced at Chang Siyao, then at Shen Yulan, and hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Qin Ge saw through his thoughts. "They are both my men. Say what you have to say here, or don't say anything at all!"

Chang Siyao understood the meaning behind Han Che's look just now and was about to leave when Qin Ge's words moved him deeply.

So Han Che was someone close to the head of the main hall. No wonder he was so unfathomable!

The head of the main hall sent someone to deliver a message in person. He had never seen anything like this in all the years he had been working with Liu Musheng!

No wonder his own leader dares to be so arrogant, not even putting the Beidu headquarters in his eyes. It seems that the head of the main hall is really biased towards him!

Han Che then said, "First, the Xuan'an Bureau is already investigating Yu Xiangmin's matter. If they need our Shadow Martial Hall's help, they will ask; otherwise, we can ignore it."

"Of course, if you're interested, feel free to investigate without worrying about anything else."

"Secondly, you can deal with Yi Han and the others as you see fit; the Beidu headquarters will not interfere."

Third, do not go to Beidu.

"These are all the Grand Master's intentions. I've finished speaking."

"That's all?" Qin Ge lowered his head and thought for a moment before asking, "The first and second points are easy to understand, but what does it mean that I shouldn't go to Beidu?"

"Does Han Beichen think I'm in danger in Beidu, that someone wants to harm me?"

"Who are they? People from the Shadow Martial Arts Hall headquarters or someone else?"

Han Che remained expressionless. "I'm only responsible for relaying messages. I don't know anything about what you're asking."

"Is there anything else you want to say? If not, I'll be going now."

"Wait a minute!" Han Che had just turned around when Qin Ge called out to him, "You made this whole trip just to deliver these few words?"

"Don't any of you know what era we live in?"

"Didn't you know there's something called a cell phone?"

"Why don't you ask Han Beichen to save my number? It's just a phone call; is it really necessary for you to make this special trip?"

Han Che was stunned for a long time, his lips twitching.

What he said... makes sense!
