"Originally, You Ming hacked their computers and locked onto their phones during a video chat between the Dragon Lord and Shen Songshan. Afterward, however, You Ming discovered the Dragon Lord’s phone was moving erratically all over the world. Its signal finally disappeared over the Atlantic Ocean."
Ye Xiu sighed and continued, "Clearly, the Dragon Lord was misleading You Ming. Moreover, according to Long Zhen, the Dragon Lord has a villa in Xiangyang that he occasionally visits but never stays in. I believe the Dragon Lord only goes to that villa to contact other mbers of the Long Family Alliance."
After listening, Qin Qing frowned. She knew Ye Xiu all too well. He might have seed to be wandering around like a loafer every day, but she knew that the hatred in his heart was constantly suppressed.
*Great hatred is silent, great sorrow is tearless.*
She had assud that with the Long Family located, all that remained for Ye Xiu was to exact his revenge. She never expected he had only found a branch family.
She asked, "Didn’t Long Zhen say where the Long Family’s headquarters are?"
"Long Zhen doesn’t know," Ye Xiu replied. "He doesn’t even know how many branch families the Long Family has, or where they are."
"In that case, exiling the Shen Family to Xiangyang won’t achieve your goal of intimidating the Long Family," Qin Qing stated.
"True, but I placed the Long Family at the top of Huang Quan’s ledger of life and death. Now that I’ve killed Ba Dao, the Dragon Lord and the rest of the Long Family should be feeling the fear," Ye Xiu said with a cold smile. "Besides, for every day that Huang Quan doesn’t find the Long Family headquarters, their fear will only grow. You could call it a form of psychological torture for them."
Qin Qing had a sudden realization. When Ye Xiu accepted Huang Quan’s challenge and led the Blood Cloth Guards to the border, he had already planned to use psychological warfare to get back at the Long Family.
"Then let the Long Family stew in the agony of their fear for a while longer. You don’t have to rush to Xiangyang," she said.
"That was my original thought, but now I have to go to Hexia Road anyway," Ye Xiu said with a wry smile.
"What do you an?" Qin Qing asked.
Ye Xiu then told Qin Qing about An Dongye’s identity.
After listening, a fleeting insight flashed through Qin Qing’s keen mind. She asked, "Could the Long Family be dicine King Valley?"
"Huh?" Ye Xiu was baffled. "How did you co to that conclusion?"
"Is your brain still thinking with your lower half?" Qin Qing teased before laying out her analysis. "According to you, dicine King Valley can refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill and resolve the crisis facing An Dongye’s family. That ans they must be a secretive, ancient power skilled in the dicine Path.
"Ten years ago, you suddenly rose to prominence, and the Dragon Lord couldn’t wait to make a move against you. Why would the Long Family be so curious about the origin of your dical Skills? But if the Long Family *is* dicine King Valley, then the Dragon Lord’s curiosity makes perfect sense. Your dical Skills would pose a threat to them.
"Most importantly, the Long Family is in Hexia Road, and so is dicine King Valley. That can’t be a coincidence, can it?
"Of course, looking at it another way, even if the Long Family isn’t dicine King Valley, it’s still highly likely that dicine King Valley was among the conspirators who frad you ten years ago.
"Naturally, this is all just my analysis and speculation. You’ll still have to investigate to confirm whether dicine King Valley is the Long Family and if they were involved in the plot against you," she concluded.
Ye Xiu was completely floored by Qin Qing’s analysis.
As heaven was his witness, he had truly never suspected dicine King Valley, but her reasoning made a terrifying amount of sense. He knew the Dragon Lord’s plot to fra him ten years ago wasn’t just out of curiosity about his dical Skills, but also to confirm whether he had a dragon-shaped tattoo on his left arm. However, that didn’t invalidate Qin Qing’s analysis at all.
"From now on, you’re my official strategist!" Ye Xiu declared, giving Qin Qing a playful peck.
"Of course I am. I’m a graduate student, after all. It’s only natural my brain works better than a high school dropout’s like yours," Qin Qing boasted smugly.
Heh, I give you one complint and you’re already on cloud nine... Ye Xiu thought, then said aloud, "Fine, I’ll go have so fun in Hexia Road. I’ll start with dicine King Valley."
"When will you leave?" Qin Qing asked.
"No rush. I’ll head to Hexia Road once Qing Luan gets a fake identity and after we find your biological father, Qin Ming," Ye Xiu stated.
「The next morning.」
Qing Luan brought Ye Xiu an Identity Token for ’Ye Liangchen’, a household register, and various other docunts, including a bank card issued under the new na. These docunts were not forgeries. The man nad Ye Liangchen had been officially entered into the Xuanse population database, making him an authentic, existing citizen of Xuanse.
After breakfast, Ye Xiu went to the Holy Peace dical Academy.
The mont he stepped into the classroom, Murong and the students from Ancient dicine Class 2 sward him.
"Teacher Ye, you’re really a demigod! You said Huang Quan would win, and Huang Quan actually won!"
"Teacher Ye, you helped win over a million! Dinner’s on tonight, you have to co."
"Teacher Ye, you made a millionaire with just a single piece of advice. If another opportunity like this cos up, you can’t forget about ..."
The students were genuinely grateful to Ye Xiu, especially the poorer ones. He had lent them 100,000 each to bet on Huang Quan, and at 14-to-1 odds, they had each made a fortune of over a million.
"Hehe, you’re all rich now, but don’t spend it recklessly, and don’t let it go to your heads..." Ye Xiu said with a smile, then waited for the students to pay him back.
And yet, not a single one of them ntioned it.
What’s going on? Are these students’ morals really that poor?
Just then, An Dongye spoke up. "Little brother, I need to leave for Han Jin City today, so I’m requesting a few days off."
"Han Jin City?" Ye Xiu was taken aback. "Hundred Flowers Valley isn’t in Han Jin City."
"But the person I’m looking for is," An Dongye said.
"Alright, your leave is approved!" Ye Xiu replied.
An Dongye then hurried away.
"An Dongye, wait up!" a student shouted. "You haven’t returned the money to Teacher Ye yet!"
An Dongye, who had just reached the classroom door, broke into a dead sprint.
"What do you an?" Ye Xiu was completely baffled. "An Dongye doesn’t owe any money."
"But we gave all the money we owed you to her," a student explained. "This morning, An Dongye told us that with so many of us, it would waste your ti for us to pay you back individually. She told us to transfer the money to her so she could give it to you in one lump sum."
Ye Xiu’s face imdiately darkened. No wonder the students hadn’t ntioned repaying him. An Dongye had swindled them all.
This wasn’t a request for leave to go to Han Jin City. She was clearly absconding with the money!
"Alright, let’s begin class!"
Ye Xiu didn’t dwell on it. It was only 5.4 million from 54 students. Small change.
Just as the morning class was about to end, Ye Xiu received a call from Gong Jin.
"Young Master, we’ve found Qin Ming!"
Ye Xiu’s spirits lifted. "Where?"
Gong Jin replied, "Han Jin City!"
What a coincidence. Ye Xiu was stunned. Han Jin City was in Hexia Road. An Dongye had just gone there, Qin Ming was there, and he himself had chosen it as his first stop for the trip.
It seems there’s sothing in Han Jin City mystically attracting .
