Young Master Wan’s large face turned red then dark, dark then red again, a truly spectacular sight.
Ye Fei watched him like he was a monkey, taking a few more glances, finding some amusement in it.
“Bingbing, since you’ve put it that way, I naturally must give you face!”
“Then you carry on with your business, I’ll be leaving now!”
“As for this food box, I’ll leave it with you. If you don’t like it, feel free to discard it!”
“Let’s go!”
Before leaving, Young Master Wan cast several deep glances at Ye Fei.
His guard, without a word, followed Young Master Wan out of the office.
Once those people had completely left, Gu Bing sprang away from Ye Fei’s embrace as if released from a spring.
Though she had appeared quite calm earlier, she had actually been extremely shy!
Especially Ye Fei’s broad chest and the strong, powerful heartbeat had caused Gu Bing to lose herself in the moment.
“Thank you, young master, for resolving a major problem for me!”
“This humble maiden is immensely grateful!”
At this moment, Gu Bing had lost all her previous imposing demeanor, her face flushed red, looking exceptionally beautiful.
“It’s nothing. Consider it thanks for the two Water-Repelling Pearls you gifted me earlier.”
For some reason, seeing Ye Fei’s nonchalant expression, she felt a pang of unease.
Was it that she lacked charm?
Otherwise, with a beauty in his arms, why was he so calm?
However, she didn’t know that Ye Fei’s heart was already a churning sea.
He had merely used his vital energy to suppress the surging waves within him to avoid making a fool of himself.
But to outsiders, he appeared as stoic as Liu Xiahui, untouched by temptation.
“Miss, that was truly terrifying!”
Nuanchun returned to Gu Bing’s office with a sigh after escorting Young Master Wan and his group out of the Treasure Pavilion.
“Who is this?”
Nuanchun asked, confused.
Gu Bing introduced Ye Fei earnestly.
Nuanchun then learned that this person was meeting her young lady for the very first time!
It was truly remarkable that these two, meeting for the first time, were already pretending to be a couple!
However, this maneuver had indeed solved a big problem for Gu Bing.
“Thank you, Young Master Ye!”
“Now Miss has finally shaken off that sticky piece of candy!”
But a moment later, Nuanchun expressed her worry.
“While that’s true, Young Master Ye, you must be careful yourself!”
“This Young Master Wan is extremely vindictive; anyone who offends him will surely face his retribution!”
Ye Fei didn’t take it to heart and directly replied.
“Don’t worry, I’m not as weak as you imagine!”
“I have the ability to protect myself!”
This topic ultimately concluded with Ye Fei’s assurance.
“It’s getting late, I’ll be leaving now!”
“See you next time!”
Thinking of his unconscious senior brother, Ye Fei could no longer suppress his urge to return.
Only after escorting Ye Fei to a safe location via a small path did the two turn back.
Meanwhile, the two guards lying in ambush on the main road had long since failed to spot any trace of Ye Fei.
At this point, after an hour, Ye Fei finally returned to Elder Liu’s small courtyard.
“Ye Fei, you’ve finally returned!”
“How was it, did you find any clues?”
Nangong Qingxue asked expectantly.
“I have not failed in my mission!”
“I did find a method to reshape the dantian at the Treasure Pavilion!”
“However, it requires the retrieval of a material called Luminous Stone.”
“Only then can the reshaping of the dantian begin.”
Ye Fei replied.
“Luminous Stone?”
“I haven’t heard of that.”
Nangong Qingxue frowned.
“Don’t worry, I know the location of the Luminous Stone!”
“After I brief Elder Liu, I plan to set out immediately to find the material.”
Ye Fei added.
“I’ll go with you!”
“Ultimately, this matter is my fault; I cannot let you go alone!”
Nangong Qingxue insisted.
After some thought, Ye Fei decided to let her accompany him.
After all, this woman’s cultivation had already reached the early stage of Qi Condensation ninth level, making her a rare and valuable helper.
“Alright, then you shall accompany me.”
Once the two made their decision, they entrusted Elder Liu with the care of Ye Fei’s senior brother before departing with peace of mind.
The Endless Sea.
This was their destination.
After a period of swift travel, the two finally arrived at the edge of the Endless Sea two days later.
The vast expanse of the sea stretched out boundlessly.
The horizon was nowhere in sight.
“The Endless Sea is so vast; there must be many sea beasts living beneath. We must not act rashly.”
Ye Fei cautioned.
“You guard here, I have a way!”
“Look, what is this!”
With a splash, a silver object resembling a boat appeared in Nangong Qingxue’s hand.
“What is this?”
“Could it be a magical artifact?”
Ye Fei asked after a glance.
“I’m surprised you have a bit of foresight!”
“Wait, and I’ll show you a trick!”
Nangong Qingxue said, eager to perform.
“I’ll be waiting to see!”
Ye Fei had already understood, but he still responded supportively.
As Nangong Qingxue uttered a few incantations and then injected her vital energy into the palm-sized boat with a bang, the boat suddenly expanded dramatically, transforming into a vessel about three meters long, capable of holding several people.
“Amazing, truly amazing!”
Ye Fei exclaimed with a smile.
He increasingly wished he could learn such skills.
“My father spent a great deal of money to get this for me. Fortunately, it can finally be put to use!”
Nangong Qingxue said happily.
“In that case, let’s set off quickly!”
Ye Fei didn’t want to delay any longer. He wished to obtain the Luminous Stone as soon as possible and then reshape his senior brother’s dantian.
“Let’s go!”
With a swish, the boat was tossed by Nangong Qingxue onto the shore of the Endless Sea. The two then lightly leaped onto the boat.
Using vital energy to propel the boat forward.
Following the information Ye Fei had obtained yesterday, he directed the boat towards the left.
Indeed, the color of the sea surface to the left was distinctly different from its surroundings!
The originally deep blue sea surface emitted a faint green glow!
That was it!
There must be something they needed beneath this sea!
“Wonderful, it seems this is the place!”
Nangong Qingxue, standing beside him, couldn’t help but beam with joy and excitement.
“You stay here and guard, I’ll go down and retrieve the Luminous Stone!”
Ye Fei instructed.
After spending the day with Ye Fei, Nangong Qingxue had gained a clear understanding of him.
Furthermore, the battle from the previous two days had given her a profound insight into Ye Fei’s combat prowess.
Therefore, when Ye Fei spoke, she did not object but instead said earnestly.
“Don’t worry, I will stay here and protect you!”
“I await your safe return!”
