"The Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Method is the most suitable cultivation technique for you, but you cannot rely on it entirely. Remember, everything has two sides."
Qin Hui stood up, feeling much recovered.
He knew that after last night's cultivation, his strength had reached the peak of a seventh-level martial artist, just a hair's breadth away from breaking through to an eighth-level martial artist.
"What about you, Xiao Hui, you're not thinking of using this technique to flirt around, are you?" Chen Jiaxue suddenly asked, knowing that this technique required a man and a woman to cultivate together.
"Uh, this..." Qin Hui paused. He hadn't really thought about it. If he used this technique to cultivate with others in the future, it would indeed be unfair to Sister Xue.
"Alright, I'll try not to use this technique in the future," Qin Hui promised.
"You don't need to promise. Cultivate however you want. Only when you become strong can you protect us," Chen Jiaxue said understandingly.
"Hoo, Sister Xue is the most understanding," Qin Hui embraced Sister Xue, gazing at her with adoration. He knew he had worked very hard last night, and Sister Xue was drunk while he was the one doing all the work, cultivating.
"You little brat, do you want more? I'm almost exhausted from you," Chen Jiaxue said with a hint of helplessness. Although Chen Jiaxue was initially the one taking the initiative, as she savored the deliciousness of Qin Hui, he gradually gained the upper hand. After all, Sister Xue was so charming, and Qin Hui couldn't help himself.
"Alright, that's enough for today. It's time to get up." Chen Jiaxue ignored Qin Hui's thoughts and got up to prepare breakfast. Qin Hui, denied his desire, felt a sense of regret. The feeling of seeing something you can't have was truly unbearable. On the other hand, Chen Jiaxue was in a very good mood. Her thinking was simple: if Qin Hui obtained her too easily, he wouldn't cherish her. It was better to keep him on a string like this; then, he would focus his attention on her. After all, the women around Qin Hui were too outstanding, and Chen Jiaxue had to consider herself. She knew that a woman could only gain her share of love by learning to compete for it.
...
"That useless Lone Wolf actually fell in Jiangnan Province?"
"It seems the waters in Jiangnan Province are not as clear as we thought."
Qin Long looked at the intelligence in his hand with surprise. The Qin family had dispatched a powerful team, but they had all been wiped out. Lone Wolf possessed the strength of an eighth-level martial artist. Being able to defeat him proved that the opponent's strength far surpassed Lone Wolf's. This piqued Qin Long's interest. Having stayed in Yan Jing for too long, he wanted to go out and explore.
"Young Master, someone from the Sun family requests an audience." A nearby guard reported.
"The Sun family?" Qin Long smiled playfully and then said, "Since they are here, please invite them in."
The guard nodded and went to carry out the order. Soon, a dwarf-like man walked in. What drew the most attention wasn't his stature, but the thick beard on his chin. Perhaps it was his trademark, as the dwarf never considered shaving it.
"Sun the Short, I didn't expect it to be you. Speak, what do you need from me?" Qin Long asked calmly. He didn't take this dwarf from the Sun family seriously at all. The Sun family had three sons; the eldest and third sons were killed by Qin Hui, leaving the sole inheritance position to Sun Wutian. Compared to the evaluations of the other two elder sons of the Sun family, Sun Wutian's evaluation was much lower, not only because of his dwarf stature but also because of his ugly face. Many people secretly said that Sun the Short wasn't actually a member of the Sun family but a bastard born of a demon. Otherwise, it would be inexplicable how the Sun family members were so robust, yet they produced such a little devil. Although Sun Wutian's birth had caused much dissatisfaction, it had to be admitted that this peculiar fellow was indeed of the Sun family bloodline. If not for the deaths of his eldest and third sons at Qin Hui's hands, Sun Wutian would never have had the chance to step forward and support the situation. Compared to the other two heirs, Sun the Short's brain was quite functional. Sun Wutian had his own name, but in the circle of Yan Jing, people preferred to call him Sun the Short, as it suited his identity. Sun Wutian had always maintained a silent attitude towards this appellation, neither denying nor admitting it. Looking at the stool, which was only slightly higher than himself, Sun Wutian directly jumped onto it.
"Won't you pour me a cup of tea?" Sun Wutian twisted his head and said calmly. Qin Long smiled and had his subordinates prepare tea. Shortly after, a beautiful maid poured tea for both of them. Sun Wutian did not savor the tea; instead, he drank it in one gulp.
"The Qin family truly lives up to its name; even the tea here tastes much better than our Sun family's," Sun Wutian savored the taste.
"Sun the Short, what do you need? If it's just for tea, I don't have the time to accompany you," Qin Long said with a hint of helplessness.
"Qin Long, I heard your Lone Wolf died in Jiangnan Province?" Sun Wutian's thick beard twitched, as if he were smiling.
"If you're here to watch the show, I advise you to leave." Qin Long's expression was not very pleasant. After all, this incident had indeed happened.
"You can't find the murderer of Lone Wolf right now, can you? Perhaps I know who killed Lone Wolf."
"Looking at the entire Jiangnan Province, only Qin Hui has the strength to achieve this," Sun Wutian stated directly.
"Do you have proof?"
"If I remember correctly, the Sun family suffered greatly at Qin Hui's hands."
"Sun the Short, even if you want to use a knife to kill someone, you need to see whose knife you're borrowing!" Qin Long said playfully. He wasn't stupid and naturally understood Sun the Short's intentions.
"Brother Qin, you're thinking too much. I'm just considering this matter from your perspective. If this matter is resolved, our relationship might become even closer." Sun Wutian's words carried hidden meanings that were easy to infer.
"Hahaha, everyone calls you short, but I think your brain is quite clever."
"As the saying goes, concentration is essence." Qin Long couldn't help but laugh.
After Sun Wutian left the villa, Qin Long's expression calmed down.
"Go, issue an order. The person who harmed Lone Wolf this time has been discovered – it's Qin Hui!" Qin Long commanded.
"Yes, Young Master." The servant nodded without asking further questions and went to carry out the order. Dealing with Qin Hui was a piece of cake for Qin Long. The most important thing was to give Lone Wolf an explanation, and also an explanation to the Qin family. Qin Long naturally understood Sun the Short's intention of using a knife to kill, but Sun the Short was right. At this moment, someone needed to take the blame, and only Qin Hui had the ability to do so. The Qin family had given Qin Hui a chance before to become a member of the Qin family, but he had chosen to refuse. And this would be the price of his refusal!
