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

"Young Master Zheng, it's been a long time."

After Misako left, Qin Ge's attention shifted to Zheng Shaoqing.

"What...what do you want to do?" Zheng Shaoqing had a psychological trauma from Qin Ge; even a casual glance from him made his anus tighten.

Seeing his sister standing beside him, he felt a bit more confident. "Don't think that just because you saved us, I'll thank you!"

"I, Zheng Shaoqing, will stand with you..."

"Snap—"

Before Zheng Shaoqing could finish speaking, he received a solid slap across the face.

"What are you doing?!" Zheng Qiuyi was startled, and Jiang Chaoning was also dumbfounded.

Isn't he a member of the Zheng family?

Even if he wasn't, he was at least Zheng Qiuyi's friend, so why did he suddenly start hitting her?

"Doesn't he deserve a beating?"

Qin Ge did deal with Zheng Shaoqing in the East China Sea, but that doesn't mean he's let him off the hook.

Based on what Zheng Shaoqing did in the East China Sea, it would be perfectly reasonable for him to be beaten up every time he saw him!

"That's pretty annoying..." Zheng Qiuyi responded subconsciously, then stopped abruptly. She also found it strange that Qin Ge and my brother weren't friends.

"Is that the point?"

"He's my brother, even if he deserves a beating, you shouldn't be the one to hit him!"

"Why can't I hit you? Do you want to do it yourself?" Qin Ge looked at Zheng Shaoqing calmly. "Young Master Zheng, do you have a problem with me hitting you?"

"I have......"

"Snap—"

Zheng Shaoqing had just started speaking when he was slapped again. He was furious but helpless, and his teeth were almost ground to powder.

Qin Ge rubbed his wrist. "Think it over before you answer!"

"I can tell you very clearly that I don't need any reason to hit you; it's all based on my mood."

"If you're not satisfied, you can resist, you can retaliate, overtly or covertly!"

"But you'd better think it through before you decide. If you upset me, you'll only end up worse off than you are now."

He glanced at Zheng Qiuyi. "I'm only reminding you because of Qiuyi. If you're not happy about it, feel free to try!"

"I spared your life in the East China Sea last time just for fun. Do you think I'm afraid of retaliation from your Zheng family?"

"I can still kill you now!"

Zheng Qiuyi's eyelids twitched, and she quickly grabbed Qin Ge's arm, "Are you enemies? Is it as serious as you say?"

"Give him some face, he's my brother..."

As she was speaking, she suddenly shuddered, and the unconsciously coquettish tone that came out gave even herself goosebumps.

"That's right, brother-in-law. We're all on the same side. The Donghai incident is long over. I've never intended to take revenge on you, have I?"

Zheng Shaoqing glanced at the pond and said, "How about I jump in to calm you down?"

Zheng Qiuyi's almond-shaped eyes widened. "What did you call him?!"

"Don't talk nonsense, he and I don't have that kind of relationship!"

After all, they were siblings, and she knew her brother's personality quite well, so she wasn't surprised by his change in attitude. Jiang Chaoning, on the other hand, was almost speechless.

What's wrong with Zheng Shaoqing? He was just acting like he was going to fight Qin Ge head-on, but after only two slaps, his eyes are clear and he's even calling her "brother-in-law."

The transition was so smooth, without him blushing or skipping a beat. Didn't he feel embarrassed at all?

"You're smart to know your place!" Qin Ge pointed at Jiang Chaoning. "And besides, she's mine too!"

Zheng Shaoqing: "..."

Jiang Chaoning: "???"

Zheng Qiuyi: "???"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Jiang Chaoning's eyebrows shot up. "I'm not... I'm not in that kind of relationship with you, not now, and never will be!"

Qin Ge smiled and said, "Don't rush to conclusions, it's only a matter of time!"

"I have a way to help you beat Misako!"

His next sentence shut down all of Jiang Chaoning's thoughts.

......

Zheng Qiuyi started the car. "Are we really going back like this? Aren't we going to watch the showdown between Jiang Chaoning and Misako?"

"When did you become so interested in fighting?" Qin Ge rested his head on his hands. "There's nothing to see. I've already said everything I needed to say."

"If Jiang Chaoning does what I say, she will definitely win. If she doesn't listen, there's nothing I can do."

"Are you that confident?" Zheng Qiuyi wasn't sure if she was interested in martial arts, but she really wanted to see Jiang Chaoning and Misako fight.

"Weren't you lusting after her beauty? You just left without even glancing at her?"

"You're the one who wanted to see it, aren't you?" Qin Ge saw through her thoughts. "As a young lady, can't you be a little more careful with your words?"

"Does it sound nice to keep drooling like that?"

"I call that appreciation, just like when I appreciate you!"

"What's the difference?" Zheng Qiuyi felt Qin Ge's aggressive gaze, and her heart raced. "You pervert, stop making suggestive remarks about me all the time!"

"I'm not interested in you. You should keep thinking about Jiang Chaoning!"

"She can't escape!" Qin Ge said confidently. "People with strong convictions are the easiest to deal with."

"Jiang Chaoning is obsessed with martial arts, but she's like a frog at the bottom of a well. Once she climbs out to see the world she's never seen before, she can never go back!"

Zheng Qiuyi's expression was priceless. Qin Ge's words sounded like she was talking about Jiang Chaoning, but wasn't she the same way herself?

Her current obsession is to help Xu Xiaoluo's family, no wonder she's being manipulated by Qin Ge!

That was really filthy.

......

The Zhao family.

"Sir, something's happened to Misako and the others!"

Hou Qin arrived in a hurry and handed a cell phone to Zhao Yu with both hands.

The phone screen displayed a short video showing Uesugi Yu and other Dongyang people soaking in a pond. They looked disheveled yet so adorable that it was heartbreaking to watch.

A question mark appeared above Zhao Yu's head. "What are they doing? Do people from Dongyang have this kind of hobby?"

Hou Qin then explained, "It is said that they had a conflict with Jiang Chaoning, and then Zheng Shaoqing from the Zheng family stepped in to help Jiang Chaoning."

"Uesugi Yu beat up Zheng Shaoqing, and Qin Ge happened to be with Zheng Shaoqing's sister, Zheng Qiuyi, and they ran into them."

"So Uesugi Yu and the others got beaten up by Qin Ge and thrown into the water."

Zhao Yu's lips twitched a few times. "Serves him right!"

"Who told them to be so arrogant? We told them we'd arrange for skilled fighters to accompany them, but they insisted on refusing!"

"Where's Misako? Is she alright?"

Hou Qin said, "It is said that he was slapped twice by Zheng Shaoqing's men, but he was not seriously injured."

"She went to play in the finals; judging by the time, it should have already started."

"Overall, it's not a big deal, but since Uesugi Yu and the others have been staying in the pond, more and more people are watching, and it's spread online."

"It's good that she's alright." Zhao Yu tossed his phone aside. "Let them spread it. It's Dongyang people who are losing face, not us!"

"That Misako is so easygoing; even with her own people in this state, she still has the nerve to play the match!"

"That Qin Ge, he's everywhere..."

"That's not right. Qin Ge threw Uesugi Yu and the others into the pool, not corpses. Why aren't they getting up?"
