The Arctic's pretty face had already turned bright red.

Because of her strict family background, she was disciplined very strictly from a young age and never even experienced dating.

This was the first time a man had ever held her hand!

Yes, in her heart, this already meant holding hands.

Although shame and anger were present, they could not suppress the rising fire of rage in his heart.

"You despicable scoundrel!"

She raised her right hand, her inner energy subtly flowing, and slapped Ye Heng across the face.

But with Bei Ji's cultivation level at that time, how could he have really hurt Ye Heng?

Ye Heng gently gripped her wrist, firmly holding it in place.

In this way, Arctic's hands were both restrained by him, and he could no longer move.

"Let me go!"

She struggled a few times, but couldn't break free at all. Instead, her shameful and powerless posture stirred Ye Heng's heart.

Her chest, rising and falling gently with her breath, was especially captivating.

Sirius, standing to the side, was already stunned.

Within the Spirit Group, everyone knows that Arctic is known for her aloof nature, strong sense of justice, and indifference towards men.

Ye Heng actually took such a huge advantage of me today...

If those in the group who secretly admire Beiji found out, Ye Heng would probably be torn to pieces!

"There's something wrong with the cultivation technique you're practicing," Ye Heng suddenly said. "If you don't address it in time, your cultivation level might regress instead of improve."

"Nonsense!" Arctic glared at him. "If you don't let go, I'll get my father, and he'll make you pay!"

She took Ye Heng's reminder as an excuse and didn't believe it at all—her cultivation had always been guided by experts, so how could something go wrong?

Unexpectedly, Ye Heng actually let go.

He wasn't in a hurry to prove himself.

Taming such a wild horse cannot be rushed.

When she truly realizes that the technique is different, she will naturally turn back to find him.

"Then let me pretend I misread it," Ye Heng said calmly. "Let's go to the Spirit Group."

Arctic was so angry that his chest heaved, but he did not retaliate.

Although she was extremely disciplined and righteous, she would not overstep her authority. Ye Heng's actions just now did not violate the Spirit Group's regulations, and although she was angry, she did not want to cause any further trouble.

"But if there's a next time... I won't let it go so easily!"

She muttered to herself, then turned and walked ahead.

Ye Heng followed the two into the military pickup truck. Tianlang sat beside him and gave a brief introduction to the Qiling Group:

"The Spirit Group is an organization established by the Great Xia Kingdom specifically to manage cultivators, and ordinary people are unaware of it. Although this is the Jinling branch, it is also the headquarters of Linjiang Province, where many experts gather. Compared with those seniors, Beiji and I are just newcomers."

He glanced at Ye Heng discreetly, and seeing that the other's expression remained calm, he carefully chose his words:

"I know that you have profound cultivation, senior, but after joining the Spirit Group, I hope you will cooperate with me as much as possible."

Before long, the pickup truck stopped in front of a spacious Chinese courtyard.

Above the door plaque is only a single, powerful character: “灵” (spirit).

It is truly astonishing that such a secluded courtyard is hidden in the city of Nanjing, where land is incredibly valuable.

Sirius took out a small jade pendant and placed it on the side of the door, and the rustic wooden door opened with a click.

The three of them entered the courtyard and came to a private room.

Sirius took out a form and handed it to Ye Heng to fill out, while Arctic remained glaring at him with a cold expression, her feelings complicated—

Even though I was taken advantage of, after I came to my senses, I didn't feel disgusted at all...

Is she really a looks-obsessed person?

The form was simple, and Ye Heng filled it out quickly.

However, one of the fields was not for the name, but for a "nickname".

Ye Heng pondered for a moment, then picked up his pen and wrote down two characters.

He had barely put down his pen when Beiji snatched the form away.

"Reaching the heavens?"

"Not bad," Ye Heng said with a slight smile, "It sounds quite imposing, and it does match my strength."

Arctic's lips twitched slightly, and he remained silent for a moment.

Her gaze shifted downwards, and suddenly her eyes widened:

"Age... twenty years old?!"

She knew Ye Heng was probably not very old, but she didn't expect him to be only twenty!

It should be noted that she is the same age as Ye Heng, and her cultivation has already reached the third level of the Acquired Realm, making her a rare genius.

If he truly reached the Innate Realm at the age of twenty... what kind of monstrous talent would he be?

She immediately took out a bone age measuring device from her bracelet, placed it on Ye Heng's wrist, and stared intently at the screen.

Numbers jumping:

1、2……17、18、19——

It finally stopped steadily at "20".

"He...he really is only twenty years old..."

The Arctic is incredible, but the instruments never malfunction.

She grabbed the forms and bone age analyzer and rushed out the door like the wind.

Office of the Deputy Director of the Spirit Group

According to their rank, they had no right to directly enter the Arctic.

But she pushed the door open and went in without even knocking.

Deputy Director Kang Bo was reviewing documents when he saw that the visitor was Beiji. Instead of being annoyed, he asked gently:

"Oh, it's Xiao Yuan. The mission ended so quickly?"

Ye Beiyuan slammed Ye Heng's file onto the table:

"Director Kang, Tianlang and I have discovered a new innate cultivator."

"Oh? Unrecorded innate cultivators are rare, but not uncommon." Kang Bo picked up his teacup, his expression calm. He had been in the Spirit Group for decades, and this was not the first time he had encountered such a situation.

"The key is—" Ye Beiyuan took a deep breath, "He's only twenty years old!"

Previously, the director had repeatedly instructed that any geniuses under the age of 22 must be reported immediately.

Therefore, she even put aside the Lin Wei case and rushed to report it first.

"What?!"

Campbell's hand trembled, and the teacup nearly fell.

What is the concept of innate talent at the age of twenty? Even back then, it would have been absolutely impossible for him to break through to the innate level at this age.

Such talent surpasses even his own, and may even surpass the director of the Spirit Group in Linjiang Province!

Given time, he may be able to go straight to Northern Yan and become a leading figure among cultivators in the Great Xia Kingdom.

When did such a young master emerge from Jinling?

He suppressed his emotions and said in a deep voice, "Let me see the information."

Ye Beiyuan handed over the form. Kang Bo looked at the photo and suddenly felt that the face looked vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

He had a vague feeling that this person's background was definitely not simple and that he should be dealt with with caution.

How did you find him?

"The Jinling Sizhenyi detected abnormal fluctuations in true energy. Tianlang and I went to investigate according to procedure," Ye Beiyuan replied. "Upon arrival, we witnessed Ye Heng killing Lin Wei and Chu Lei. As for the grudge between the three, we are unaware of it."

Upon hearing the names Chu Lei and Lin Wei, Kang Bo had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Chu Lei, that spoiled brat who used to run rampant in Jinling, finally met his match today and lost his life.

"I understand. I'll handle the follow-up; you don't need to anymore," Kang Bo said, then, seeing Ye Beiyuan still standing there, he asked, "Is there anything else?"

Ye Beiyuan pursed her lips, her tone muffled:

"Ye Heng is arrogant and conceited, which is really infuriating... Uncle Kang must teach him a lesson."

Upon hearing this, Campbell couldn't help but chuckle a few times:

"Alright, alright, I'll assign you a new task later, so you can personally 'teach him a lesson'."

Ye Beiyuan then turned and left.

Silence returned to the office. Campbell sighed softly and muttered to himself:

"Brother Ye entrusted Xiao Yuan to me back then, not only to find her a job, but also hoping that I would keep an eye out for talented young men... Unfortunately, no one has ever caught her eye. Now it seems that things may be looking up."

He manually entered Ye Heng's information into the file, but his brows gradually furrowed.

"Although Chu Lei deserved to die, the rest of the Chu family have always been well-behaved. At present, Jinling also needs the stability of the Chu family's enterprises. If they are rashly eliminated, it may cause turmoil..."

After a moment's hesitation, he picked up the phone and dialed the number of the Chu family patriarch.
