Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Yang Fei’s Dark Side
Qin Yanyang hadn’t noticed Yang Fei’s panicked expression, and although there was something off about Yang Fei’s tone, she didn’t think much of it.
She was quite confident in herself, and as for the woman, Tong Yunshu, although exceptional, she spent almost every day with Yang Fei, and since they were in a passionate relationship, she believed it was impossible for Yang Fei to have any emotional entanglements with the other party.
At most, it was just a man’s appreciation for a beautiful and charming woman.
"Then, tell me about Tong Yunshu. According to you, last night Tong Yan helped transmit martial arts to Tong Yunshu, passing on the Great Yellow Court to her, so now Tong Yunshu is also a martial artist, right?" Qin Yanyang still had her back to Yang Fei as she spoke.
Yang Fei completely relaxed.
Indeed, only those with a guilty conscience would overthink.
What Qin Yanyang wanted to ask about was only the matter of Tong Yunshu receiving the transmission from Tong Yan. How could she possibly know his affair with Tong Yunshu?
"Yes, I suppose so," Yang Fei replied.
Qin Yanyang said, "Today I observed Tong Yunshu at the Tong Family and noticed that her demeanor indeed was different from ordinary people, yet I didn’t detect any fluctuations of True Yuan from within her. The Great Yellow Court is a highly profound and mysterious cultivation technique from the Taoist sect, and although it’s miraculous, if she had cultivated inner energy True Essence, I would have sensed it. Why didn’t I notice any inner energy fluctuations from her today?"
Yang Fei said with a smile, "Maybe it’s because she just acquired the Great Yellow Court and hasn’t fully absorbed it yet; the energy exists within her but is dispersed and not condensed."
Qin Yanyang slowly nodded.
Yang Fei added, "Aren’t your and my cultivation techniques also special so that outsiders can’t detect our cultivation?"
Qin Yanyang smiled faintly and turned around to look at Yang Fei, saying, "That’s true. Initially, I thought you didn’t know martial arts. After learning about your enmity with the Chen Family, I realized you were quite capable, but I thought you were just at the peak of external strength, skilled in combat. What cultivation technique are you practicing that you can effectively conceal True Yuan fluctuations, making them undetectable by others?"
Yang Fei said with a laugh, "Aren’t you the same?"
Qin Yanyang’s face blushed slightly.
She had always kept this hidden from Yang Fei, hoping to maintain the image of a typical, frail woman in his eyes, yet she hadn’t expected that in less than three months, there were hardly any secrets left between them.
It ultimately came down to them living together daily.
If they had just been dating without living under the same roof, given their capabilities, they could have kept their secrets from each other for a long time.
"Is the Great Yellow Court truly so miraculous?" Qin Yanyang couldn’t help asking.
Yang Fei thought for a moment and shook his head, "I don’t know, but with Tong Yan’s confident manner, he probably can pass on his skill to Tong Yunshu. As for how long it will take for Tong Yunshu to comprehend and fully absorb his Great Yellow Court True Essence, I don’t know."
Qin Yanyang silently nodded, sighing, "The Taoist mysterious skill is indeed mystical and profound."
Yang Fei thought about the cultivation technique he was practicing, and he couldn’t help but silently nod. Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he looked at Qin Yanyang, saying, "The cultivation techniques we practice, could they possibly come from the same lineage?"
Qin Yanyang had already thought about this matter.
The first time Yang Fei lost control, she was able to soothe the rampaging True Yuan in his body, and she speculated that the True Yuan she cultivated complemented the True Yuan within Yang Fei’s body, which was quite miraculous.
Now that Yang Fei had brought it up, she thought for a moment and said, "They might be. In fact, I had noticed early on that the cultivation technique I practiced was different from other martial artists. When I achieved inner energy, even my grandfather didn’t notice."
Yang Fei’s expression changed slightly, "Oh?"
He suddenly thought of a possibility and said, "Could it be that the cultivation technique you practice, is similar to mine?"
Qin Yanyang looked up at him.
Suddenly, both of them said in unison, "Should we compare?"
Ten minutes later, both Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang wore puzzled expressions.
The two had just confirmed that the cultivation techniques they practiced were not the same, even the martial meridians cultivated in their bodies and the acupoints they opened up were different.
This puzzled them both.
If the cultivation techniques were vastly different, why did the True Yuan they cultivated complement each other so well?
Moreover, when the two cultivated together, the effect was doubled.
Furthermore, unless they actively revealed it, outsiders could not detect the Martial Meridians within their bodies, nor could they sense the True Yuan in their Dantians, as it remained entirely without fluctuations and was not easily perceived by other Martial Artists.
Yang Fei had come to understand his master quite well and knew that his nickname was Fatty Taoist. He couldn’t help asking Qin Yanyang, "Have you ever seen your grandfather’s friend?"
Qin Yanyang, ever astute, immediately understood he was referring to his master and shook his head, saying, "I haven’t met him."
Yang Fei then asked, "So the Cultivation Technique you practice is not the Qin Family’s heritage?"
Qin Yanyang nodded, "Yes, it was given to me solely by my grandfather, who also instructed me to tell no one. After I memorized the contents of that book, my grandfather took it away."
Yang Fei nodded silently and laughed, "It seems these two old men are playing a game of hide and seek with us."
Qin Yanyang smiled faintly and said, "Perhaps they want to see how far we can grow. When the time is ripe, we will know the answer ourselves and won’t need to ask them."
At this point, she was still preoccupied with something earlier and said to Yang Fei, "Be more careful these next few days."
Yang Fei was startled and looked at her quizzically.
Qin Yanyang explained, "Wang Chengcuo’s visit to Binhai this time, I feel, is not solely to deal with Tong Yan. He may also pose a threat to you."
"Wang Chengcuo? Who is that?" Yang Fei inquired.
"He is the man you exchanged blows with yesterday," Qin Yanyang replied.
Yang Fei’s pupils contracted slightly, "That Innate Realm Master?"
"Yes, he is an established Innate Realm expert, his strength comparable to Luo Yong, but his status is even more prestigious because he is a military instructor for the special forces in Divine Continent Country," said Qin Yanyang.
Yang Fei frowned and said, "So, because I saved Tong Yan yesterday, he wants to come after me?"
Qin Yanyang shook her head, "Not exactly, but he has a disciple named Wang Wenqian, whose father is Wang Xiongying and whose younger brother is Wang Wenxu."
Yang Fei understood.
"Are you worried he might seek revenge on his disciple’s behalf and cause trouble for me?"
Qin Yanyang nodded, "Yes, this person is quite protective of his disciples. Given that Wang Wenqian already possesses the strength of the Middle Third Grade of Energy Transformation Realm and is his chosen successor, he might ask his master to avenge his father and uncle."
Yang Fei made an acknowledging sound, a gleam of sharpness flitting through his eyes, and said, "If he dares to come after me, and with you by my side, I will give him a lesson he will never forget."
Seeing Yang Fei’s confidence, Qin Yanyang couldn’t help but be curious, "What level of strength have you reached now, to contend with the Innate Realm?"
Yang Fei shook his head, "I can manage a few exchanges and escape unharmed, but in a direct fight, I’m not yet a match for the Innate Realm. However, if I’m with you, I have no fear of the Innate Realm."
Qin Yanyang was secretly alarmed, but remembering how they had intimidated Luo Yong into fleeing when he was injured, she couldn’t disbelieve.
Now, Yang Fei was much stronger compared to when they faced Luo Yong, and with Yang Fei’s ability to unleash powerful attacks, the Innate Realm indeed had no easy way to handle them, and might even risk injury from an encounter.
"Just be a little more careful," Qin Yanyang advised.
Yang Fei laughed, "Alright, wife, I understand. Let’s go to sleep."
He felt guilty inside, sensing that Qin Yanyang might discover his affair with Tong Yunshu at any moment.
Yet he was reluctant to lose Qin Yanyang, so now he harbored a dark thought, considering whether to take Qin Yanyang to bed first.
For someone as traditionally minded as Qin Yanyang, once she had been intimate with a man, it would be hard for her to break away.
Despicable as it may be.
Let’s proceed with the plan.
