Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Husband Sings, Wife Follows
When Yang Fei asked about his cultivation realm, Qin Yanyang glanced at him and said, "I’m not yet in the Innate Realm. If I were, that person wouldn’t have been able to injure me."
Yang Fei’s heart stirred and he said, "So, you are like Tong Yan, belonging to the Unique Tier?"
Qin Yanyang nodded and then his expression changed, "You know Tong Yan?"
"Yes, he visited me in Binhai a week ago," Yang Fei said.
Qin Yanyang exclaimed in surprise, "You fought, and he didn’t kill you?"
Yang Fei nodded, "Yes, we sparred a bit, and he didn’t have the intention to kill me. Of course, even if he had, if I entirely focused on saving my life, escaping shouldn’t be a problem."
Having seen Yang Fei blast Xu Yingluo at the Top of Yun Mountain that day, Qin Yanyang knew that Yang Fei’s strength was not less than Eighth Grade and he might even have stepped into the Ninth Grade of Energy Transformation.
But against someone like Tong Yan, he absolutely stood no chance.
Qin Yanyang was skeptical about Yang Fei’s claim that he could save his life just by running.
She was on the same level as Tong Yan, although still within the range of the Ninth Grade Energy Transformation, she had long surpassed that grade and belonged to an unstoppable presence under the Innate Realm.
If Yang Fei had not reached the Peak of Ninth Grade, their probability of eliminating him, being in the Unique Tier, was over eighty or even ninety percent.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t be called the Unique Tier.
Qin Yanyang was actually more interested in Yang Fei’s true strength, and she looked at him and asked, "So your current state still can’t defeat Tong Yan?"
Yang Fei nodded nonchalantly, "Yes, we fought, and Tong Yan didn’t intend to kill. He didn’t use his full strength, and I’m not his match in my current state. The combat power of your Unique Tier is indeed impressive."
Over a year ago, during that overseas siege, there were about three Innate Realm-level powerhouses involved, and among the other more than ten people, several also had extraordinary strengths, likely those of the Unique Tier level similar to Tong Yan and Qin Yanyang.
It was unfortunate that his current strength was only half of what it was at his peak. If he could fully recover, how could he regard those so-called National Guardian level people?
Today, dealing with the man who fought Qin Yanyang and that member of the Zhang Family, Yang Fei considered them significant enemies in his heart. Once his strength was restored, he would seek them out.
Qin Yanyang, however, was still pondering over what Yang Fei had said earlier.
She felt her husband seemed a bit of a braggart and wanted to ask more about it, yet feared wounding his pride as a man.
If he loves to brag, let him brag. Can’t a person have some flaws?
He’s even a year younger than her, and to have such strength at his age was already incredibly impressive. Given time, he will surely step into the Innate Realm.
Thinking this, even with her typically calm demeanor, Qin Yanyang felt somewhat excited.
If both she and Yang Fei could enter the Innate Realm within her grandparent’s lifetime, then those people from the Zhang Family wouldn’t dare to be as arrogant as they are now.
In a time of both internal and external troubles in the Divine Continent Martial World, unity is essential. How can they allow the Zhang Family, ambitious and morally corrupt, to control everything?
"Are we staying here for a while longer, or should we return to Binhai once your injuries have fully healed?" Yang Fei asked Qin Yanyang.
He didn’t mind either way, but considering Qin Yanyang’s unique identity, it might not be suitable for her to disappear from certain people’s sights for too long, which is why he prioritized her opinion.
Qin Yanyang pondered for a moment and said, "Let’s return to Binhai. Although we scared him off this time, he may very well come after us again, possibly with even more people. Relatively speaking, Binhai is safer."
Yang Fei said, "If someone is truly relentless, no place is safe. Ultimately, we need to become strong ourselves."
Qin Yanyang strongly agreed, nodding, "Yes, that’s why I need to go back and recover my strength as soon as possible. If I were at my peak today, our combined power would have been greater, and we might have even stopped that man."
Yang Fei laughed, "Yes, if my strength were also somewhat restored, I could have killed him."
Seeing his confidence, Qin Yanyang began to doubt herself.
Could it be that he was being too narrow-minded, not grand enough in vision to accept others’ excellence? Was his true strength really that strong?
Yang Fei, however, did not know she doubted him boasting; instead, he recalled the unique situation when the two of them cultivated together, his heart surging as he said, "The True Yuan within us both is very special, our cultivation speed when together is much faster than before, so healing should be quick, and even after recovery, our strength will improve much quicker."
Qin Yanyang’s eyes shimmered with understanding; she had realized this long ago and nodded, saying, "Yes, indeed."
The two shared a smile, each feeling a sense of destiny about their meeting.
This was the true predestined affinity.
Just like a match made by heaven, who could refuse it?
Yang Fei couldn’t help but say, "So this is the opportunity our master spoke of."
Qin Yanyang smiled faintly, "Your master must be a very interesting person. Who is he?"
Yang Fei said, "Tong Yan mentioned he has a nickname, the Fatty Taoist."
Qin Yanyang said in surprise, "Is it him? No wonder you’re so outstanding; you are a disciple of the Fatty Taoist."
Yang Fei’s mouth twitched, he couldn’t help saying, "I admit Master contributed a lot, but shouldn’t my excellence be the result of my own efforts?"
Qin Yanyang burst into laughter, "Are you jealous now?"
Yang Fei nodded, seriously saying, "I am who I am today because of my own efforts. You don’t know; though master introduced me to the Martial World and laid the foundation of my cultivation, he later left me to fend for myself, just gave me two books, and abandoned me overseas to survive on my own."
Qin Yanyang became interested, pointing outside the cave and saying, "Let’s go outside, walk and talk, can you tell me your story? I’d like to hear it."
The two left the cave, determined their direction, and walked towards Yun City.
Previously, Tong Yunshu had told him the private plane would wait there for him for three days.
Qin Yanyang’s eager request left Yang Fei’s heart surging, suddenly opening up.
As they walked through the mountains and forests, Yang Fei reminisced and shared with her how the Fatty Taoist had taken him as a disciple and how he was abandoned overseas, detailing his struggles to cultivate and survive abroad.
However, he did not reveal anything about the International Madman.
Although the organization known as International Madman never committed blatantly insane misdeeds, it was internationally shunned and saddled with many negative labels. Given Qin Yanyang’s special status within the country, Yang Fei thought it best not to disclose this aspect of his identity for the time being.
But his many years of struggling alone abroad, even without mentioning the International Madman, were rich in experience, fascinating Qin Yanyang considerably, sometimes even her concerned expressions could be seen.
As they talked and travelled, their pace was much slower than when Yang Fei had arrived, but as both were martial arts experts, their speed was naturally not too slow. It took almost half a day, but they eventually emerged from the Primordial Forest.
Just then, Yang Fei’s phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from Xu Xingzhou.
"Mr. Yang, Uncle Mao and I were locked up at home, that’s why I couldn’t contact you these past few days. Now, my family wants to meet you, would that be convenient?" Xu Xingzhou said straightforwardly.
As Yang Fei considered the powerful strength of the Xu Family, he suddenly looked at Qin Yanyang beside him, moved, and covering the phone, he asked Qin Yanyang, "Would you accompany me somewhere?"
Qin Yanyang nodded, "Sure."
Yang Fei thought for a moment, reminded her, "It could be dangerous, and with your identity, the meaning is a bit different."
Qin Yanyang’s mind stirred, as if she had thought of something, yet she smiled radiantly and said, "Isn’t my identity your wife, Yang Fei?"
Yang Fei was startled, then burst into laughter, gripping her hand tightly and nodded, "Right, you are my wife, in harmony."
Then, addressing the phone, he said, "Alright, give me an address, I’ll come to pick you up."
