Warning! A hidden dragon has emerged!

Qin Quan's gaze was sharp as he surveyed his surroundings.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator unleashed his full divine sense, attempting to capture even the slightest clue about the mother Gu.

However, the crowd moved on quickly, and nothing seemed amiss.

The mastermind behind it all, along with the mother Gu, seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Is the truth that was about to be revealed going to fall through?

Qin Quan's heart sank. Just as he was about to investigate further, a beautiful figure brushed past him.

The girl had her hair tied in a high ponytail and was carrying a Pikachu-themed backpack, exuding youthful energy.

The virgin fragrance of a young girl is a fatal attraction for those with a pure yang constitution.

"Such pure Yin energy."

Qin Quan was thinking about it.

Just as they brushed past each other, the girl suddenly turned around, her movement as fast as lightning.

With a flick of his wrist, a black gun barrel was aimed directly at Qin Quan's chest.

boom!boom!

The gunshot was reduced to three-quarters of its volume by the silencer, making it barely noticeable in the noisy crowd.

The two were less than a meter apart.

The girl's movements were fast, accurate, and ruthless.

Clean, efficient, and completed in one go.

The incident happened so suddenly that Qin Quan had no time to react.

At such close range, she was absolutely certain she could shoot Qin Quan dead on the spot.

There was no sympathy in her eyes, only a numb ruthlessness.

Within a second, gunshots rang out one after another, almost forming a single line.

Bang bang bang!

The bullets in the gun chamber were emptied instantly.

She didn't even glance at Qin Quan before turning around and trying to blend into the crowd to escape.

But the moment she turned around, a large, cold hand suddenly landed on her shoulder with such force that it almost crushed her bones.

"You killed me three times in 24 hours, do you really think you can get away unscathed?"

Qin Quan's voice was icy cold, carrying an undeniable air of authority.

brush!

The woman turned around abruptly, and her previously calm eyes finally flashed with extreme astonishment. Her pupils contracted sharply as she stared intently at Qin Quan's abdomen.

That place should have been riddled with bullets, but Qin Quan's clothes were completely intact, without a single mark.

Qin Quan slowly opened his palm, revealing seven deformed bullets lying there, still faintly warm.

"How is this possible?"

The woman panicked completely, her voice trembling, finally realizing that Qin Quan's power far exceeded her imagination.

At such close range, he was completely unharmed.

"Are you a human or a ghost?"

The girl stared at Qin Quan with her clear, bright eyes, her gaze filled with astonishment, a strange sense of familiarity rising in her heart.

It caused her some indescribable heartache.

The moment Qin Quan saw the girl's face, he stood there stunned, his mind going completely blank.

He didn't even notice when his target drove past him in a car.

"What...what's your name?"

Qin Quan asked, his voice trembling slightly.

The girl snapped out of her daze and tried to break free from Qin Quan's arm, only to find that she couldn't muster any strength at all; his large hand was like an iron clamp, locking her tightly.

"Kill me or torture me, it's all up to you! If I fall into your hands, it's because I'm not as skilled as you."

Since there's no way to escape, be prepared to be killed in return.

"I asked you what your name is?"

Qin Quan spoke again, his voice colder than before, carrying an undeniable force.

The girl scoffed, her face full of disdain.

"So what if you know my name? Do you think you've taken a liking to me and are going to let me off the hook?"

"Are you named Qin Ling? Answer me!"

Qin Quan's voice wasn't loud, but it exploded in the woman's mind like a thunderclap, making her soul tremble and her pretty face turn deathly pale instantly.

"How...how do you know my name? Who are you?"

Qin Ling trembled with fear, her eyes filled with terror and confusion.

This is her real name; strangers would never know it.

Seeing the other person's shocked expression, Qin Quan deflated like a punctured balloon.

His imposing aura crumbled instantly, and a gentle smile slowly appeared on his fierce face, with barely perceptible excitement hidden in his eyes.

"I……"

He was about to say, "I'm your brother," but he swallowed the words back down.

He was already content to receive news that his sister was alive.

Currently, the friend and foe are unclear, and the real culprit has not yet surfaced. It is not yet time for the siblings to recognize each other.

"Don't you ever investigate your target before you kill them?"

Qin Quan changed the subject, his tone softening somewhat.

Qin Ling frowned and asked, "Why would I need to investigate a dead person's information?"

Since becoming an assassin, she has never failed. Instead of wasting time investigating useless information, she would rather focus on strengthening herself.

"Go, I won't kill you this time."

Qin Quan remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Well……"

Qin Ling was completely stunned; it was simply unbelievable.

Is this person sick?

They clearly had the strength to crush me, yet they let me leave?

What does that mean?

Playing hard to get?

Or does he have a crush on me?

Qin Ling immediately raised an eyebrow, her tone slightly mocking.

"Handsome, you don't actually have a crush on me, do you? If so, before I kill you, I can have a relationship with you, but we can't have sex. My first time must be saved for my future husband."

"Shut up!"

Qin Quan was speechless, completely taken aback by the girl's words.

"I'll give you three breaths to think it over. If you don't leave now, you'll leave your life behind."

"Are you out of your mind? One minute you let me go, the next you want to kill me. What kind of person are you?!"

Qin Ling cursed inwardly, but dared not delay.

Reason told her that if she didn't leave now, when would she?

"one……"

Qin Quan ignored her complaints and started the countdown immediately.

"ill!"

Qin Ling rolled her eyes, turned around and plunged into the crowd, disappearing into the throng in an instant.

Qin Quan had no time to search for the owner of the Heart-Eating Gu. His eyes were fixed on the direction where Qin Ling had disappeared. With a swift movement, he silently blended into the crowd and followed closely behind.

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Ling finally entered Jincheng University and went to the 503 girls' dormitory after confirming that no one was following her.

soon……

The sound of girls laughing and joking could be heard from inside the dormitory.

Qin Quan also stopped and silently retreated to the shade of a tree opposite the dormitory building.

Tears welled in his deep eyes, but his lips curled up uncontrollably, and he smiled like a child who had found something he had lost.

His voice choked with emotion as he murmured softly.

"Dad, Mom, did you see that? Ling'er isn't dead! Not only is she alive, she's studying at Jincheng University..."

Just now on the street, the moment he grabbed Qin Ling, he sensed that there was a powerful seal on Qin Ling's body.

That power was strange and domineering.

The reason Qin Ling didn't recognize him is very likely because someone sealed away all her memories from before she was eight years old.

"We cannot identify each other as friend or foe, and our memories are sealed; we cannot recognize each other now."

Qin Quan clenched his fists, his eyes filled with determination.

"But it's alright, with me here, I will definitely protect you for life. One day, I will definitely help you break the seal, let you escape the Wind and Rain Tower, live in the sunshine, and grow up in the spring breeze."
