Yang Chen watched the people from Asura Hall leave, and even after their figures disappeared into the forest, he didn’t leave. Instead, he circled around, watching their movents from afar.
After all, for Yang Chen, no matter how mature or powerful the people from Asura Hall have beco, they were all trained by him, like his own children. It’s impossible not to worry and care about them.
Only when Yang Chen saw from a tall tree that the people of Asura Hall t up with their contact did he finally feel relieved.
At the sa ti, Yang Chen was still a bit worried about the cultivation techniques he had given to ng Po.
The small notebook contained so safe preliminary breathing techniques and foundational training thods.
Generally, when physical stamina reaches a certain level and training progresses sufficiently, one can sense the existence of ’qi’. In-depth research and control of this ’qi’ is what we call inner strength.
Inner family martial arts is what we refer to as cultivating internal qi.
Controlling this qi significantly increases strength.
The thod Yang Chen extracted from the "Nine Revolutions Supre Skill" to control qi is very practical and without side effects.
However, another sheet of paper Yang Chen gave to ng Po detailed an introductory thod for cultivation. When the control of qi reaches a certain level, one can begin cultivating.
Although the primary cultivation thod Yang Chen transcribed is not perfect, it has been personally tested by him.
Still, Yang Chen is sowhat concerned because he has already started cultivating while ng Po and the others have no foundation. That’s why he repeatedly reminded them not to blindly learn and cultivate without consulting him if they have any questions.
Yang Chen did this to increase his own leverage.
After all, he is still unclear about the true strength of the Shangqing Sect. If the day cos when his people are not strong enough to confront them, it would be suicide!
If it cos to that, Yang Chen would rather go alone.
Although Yang Chen may not necessarily involve the people from Asura Hall, he needs to be prepared.
"I hope everything goes well!" Yang Chen prayed silently.
Once he could no longer see the people from Asura Hall, Yang Chen jumped down from the tree and walked back in the direction he ca from.

Three days later.
The group of people captured at the border was transported to a secret base in the suburbs of Jin Chen for severe interrogation.
anwhile, in Jin Chen, the chief had just finished a eting and was preparing to go ho for a short rest.
However, as soon as he walked through the courtyard gate, Zhou Qinghe ca running over, full of anxiety, and said to the chief, "Chief, bad news!"
The chief frowned and glared at Zhou Qinghe, reprimanding, "What’s wrong with you? All you ever bring is bad news. Can’t you ever bring so good news? You’re such a jinx!"
Zhou Qinghe trembled in fright, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
But having already spoken, he knew the chief’s character and couldn’t withhold the information.
He followed the chief into the house and said solemnly, "Chief, the people have been brought back and are now detained in the base, being interrogated for intel."
"Isn’t that good?" the chief asked.
Zhou Qinghe cautiously said, "But, the locators we installed in the bullets all stopped in Mandalay. I find it unusual for them to remain in one place for so long, and so locators show no signs of movent. So, I sent soone to investigate and found all these weapons had been sold off. They’ve replaced them with new weapons, and we’ve completely lost the trail!"
The chief said indifferently, "Oh! Is that all?"
Zhou Qinghe couldn’t figure out what the chief was thinking, was this not significant?
But how could he dare to question, so he softly said, "Yes~"
"What’s the big deal, it’s normal!" the chief said flatly.
Zhou Qinghe looked at the chief, puzzled.
The chief glanced at Zhou Qinghe and said indifferently, "Do you think if you had weapons of unknown origin, possibly unsafe, that you’d run around haphazardly? Or would you replace them with clean, reliable weapons?"
"I..." Zhou Qinghe opened his mouth, unsure what to say.
He thought a bit and slowly said, "Even if they check the guns and find them unsafe, why wouldn’t they even take the bullets? Surely they wouldn’t replace the bullets too?"
The chief stared at Zhou Qinghe and said, "Do you realize how long it would take them to dismantle and reassemble a gun? Once they take it apart, everything inside is exposed. If they find nothing in the guns, won’t they turn their attention to the bullets? If they’re already replacing things, why not replace everything at once? Use your brain! Don’t let it rust!"
The chief clearly expressed disappointnt in Zhou Qinghe.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhou Qinghe’s forehead was again covered in cold sweat, feeling the chief’s attitude towards him was becoming less favorable.
The chief waved him off, saying, "Leave now, I want to rest a while."
"Yes!"
Zhou Qinghe slowly retreated.
...
Shangdong Group.
Lately, business at Shangdong Group has been booming.
The company reputation crisis was resolved, and the initial clothing brand scandal was completely settled, leaving Blue Maple Group as the public’s object of hatred. Naturally, everyone trusted Shangdong Group even more.
With Frank Gregory’s fa and the strength of Shangdong Group, along with recent promotions, Shangdong Group’s brand has skyrocketed in popularity, and the entire company is operating full throttle.
Initially, Wei Xueqing thought getting busy would help her forget everything, but she was utterly wrong!
As soon as she looks up, she sees that screen, and the desk corner peeking out from behind it.
She even imagines that person still sitting behind the screen, and every ti she stands up, she involuntarily looks around inside, but it remains empty as ever.
The floor-to-ceiling windows in the office have been replaced with frosted glass as per Yang Chen’s initial request, obscuring the outside view, but from inside the office, everything outside is clearly visible.
Standing before the floor-to-ceiling window, Wei Xueqing closed her eyes and softly voiced, "Tell why, why do you tornt this way? It shouldn’t be like this, why do you keep appearing?"
She suddenly realized how difficult it is to forget soone.
At first, Wei Xueqing was furious that Yang Chen left without a word, avoiding her and Chen Siyan.
Angry, Wei Xueqing moved out of Emperor Garden and threw herself into her work.
The first day was okay, she didn’t think much about it.
But at night, the longing unknowingly crept in.
Then the second day, Yang Chen’s figure started appearing uncontrollably in her mind.
Now, Wei Xueqing found that no matter if her eyes were open or closed, she could only see Yang Chen.
"Why do you tornt this way?" Wei Xueqing felt tornted.
Yet she still took out her phone and called Chen Siyan, asking, "Has your brother co back?"
