351: 0350 heading to Myanmar mining area 351: 0350 heading to Myanmar mining area Shangguan Dao didn’t object, and Ye Qiu knew that under these circumstances, Shangguan Dao would definitely help.
Then, Shangguan Dao brought up Shangguan Hong, looking at Ye Qiu and saying, “You don’t think the old man brought her up for no reason, do you?”
“Ye Qiu, because of you, our Shangguan family’s marriage alliance with the Yin family failed—this much you know very well.
Now, she’s of the age to marry, and many people have co to propose to the old man.
Do you think she went abroad just for her studies?”
Upon hearing this, an image of Shangguan Hong surfaced in Ye Qiu’s mind.
Could it be that the reason she left ho was also to avoid these suitors?
“She has never been overly familiar with any man.
Even with family mbers, she’s always been indifferent, except for you, Ye Qiu.
Each ti you appear, you capture her attention.
You must be aware of this, Ye Qiu?”
Shangguan Dao’s words exploded in Ye Qiu’s heart like a bomb, creating shocking ripples.
“Could it be that Shangguan Hong likes him?” Ye Qiu exclaid in surprise.
If that was the case, should he, Ye Qiu, be pleased with himself?
Ye Qiu vividly recalled the scene when he first t Shangguan Hong—the figure…
He had entered the wrong room and saw Shangguan Hong clearly.
That mory was still vivid to this day.
Ahem…
Ye Qiu coughed slightly and countered, “Does the old man want to be with Shangguan Hong?”
“Don’t you like her?”
“Uh…
aren’t you being a bit too direct?”
“Do you like her or not?”
“Brother Shangguan, it’s getting late.
I’ll tell you the answer tomorrow.” Ye Qiu hurriedly fled and returned to the guest room.
The next day, Ye Qiu didn’t bring up the previous day’s matters.
After bidding farewell to Elder Shangguan, he left the Shangguan family.
However, Guan Mingyue’s gaze seed a bit resentful in Ye Qiu’s eyes.
Back at the Goddess Villa, Niu Yinyin was training very diligently.
After correcting a mistake, Ye Qiu lay on the bed and slept until noon the next day.
Niu Yinyin clamored for the food he cooked, so Ye Qiu had no choice but to cook himself.
He made three dishes and a soup.
Just when it was almost dark, Shen ngchen unexpectedly ca back.
“Didn’t you say you were leaving for a month?” Shen ngchen was sowhat surprised to see Ye Qiu still at the Goddess Villa.
“Getting ready, these two days,” Ye Qiu said.
Shen ngchen didn’t dwell on it and focused entirely on the food.
Her nose was sensitive, and instantly she sat down at the table and began to eat heartily.
After finishing her al, Shen ngchen patted her belly, comfortably went back to sleep soundly, and Ye Qiu cleaned up the dishes and returned to his own room.
Every night was Ye Qiu’s ti to practice martial arts, and he rarely slacked off.
In the still of the night, he attacked the acupoints all over his body.
With each acupoint he broke through, he felt his strength increase a bit.
Every day, his strength increased bit by bit.
Only a third of the acupoints in Ye Qiu’s body remained unbreached.
Once he managed to connect all the acupoints in his body, his True Qi, whether in terms of control or usage, would reach a new level.
After breaking through an acupoint, Ye Qiu paused montarily.
His mind constantly hovered in the center of his Dantian on the black Qi.
He had been observing it for several days.
Since the black Qi settled in the Dantian so many days ago without showing any signs of activity, Ye Qiu had tried probing it with True Qi a few tis, but the black Qi completely ignored him.
“What exactly is this?
Why can it occupy my Dantian…” Ye Qiu couldn’t figure it out.
Unfortunately, the mass of black Qi, just like dead air, regardless of how much he provoked it, showed no response.
Helplessly, Ye Qiu had to temporarily give up and stepped out of his practice.
Buzz, buzz…
The phone suddenly started vibrating.
At this late hour, who could be calling him?
When Ye Qiu picked up, he heard the other person say, “Brother Ye, do you still rember , Li Jinglong!”
“Oh, it’s you.” Ye Qiu pondered and then Li Jinglong laughed slightly, his voice tinged with bitterness.
“Brother Ye, I’ve been waiting for you for a long ti.
You never called , so I had to take the initiative.
We can’t delay this any longer.”
“Are you talking about the trip to the jade mines in Myanmar?” Ye Qiu asked.
He rembered Li Jinglong ntioning this matter, and he knew that Li Jinglong valued his expertise in appraising stones, which was why he had tried to please him several tis, offering his help to Longjia—all because of Ye Qiu.
“Exactly, Brother Ye really cares.
I thought you had forgotten.
Do you have ti to go there with soon?” Li Jinglong probed.
“Sure, let’s leave tomorrow!” Li Jinglong was waiting for Ye Qiu’s answer.
Suddenly, when Ye Qiu said they would depart the next day, Li Jinglong was ecstatic.
“Great, I’ll co to pick you up early tomorrow morning.”
The call ended, and Ye Qiu closed his eyes, plunging into darkness.
The next day, Li Jinglong arrived even earlier than expected.
Just after Ye Qiu had finished his morning routine of breath control and energy collection, Li Jinglong pulled up in a car outside the Goddess Villa.
Ye Qiu was already prepared.
Going to Myanmar wouldn’t take much of his ti, after all, he had encountered beastly people there before.
Perhaps this ti, fulfilling his promise to Li Jinglong might again involve encountering them.
Li Jinglong looked thinner than the last ti Ye Qiu saw him, his complexion sowhat pale.
“Brother Ye,” Li Jinglong greeted almost reverently.
Ye Qiu glanced at Li Jinglong’s pallid face and said, “Your kidneys are bad, and if you keep indulging like this, be prepared to need a transplant!
“Er…
Brother Ye, you really know how to joke.” Li Jinglong opened the car door himself, and after Ye Qiu got in, he ordered the driver to start the car
In the car, both Li Jinglong and Ye Qiu sat in the back seats.
“Brother Ye, how did you see that I was overindulging?” Li Jinglong couldn’t help but ask, driven by curiosity.
“You’re unsteady on your feet, you’re sweating above your eyebrows, and there’s no light in your eyes.
It’s obviously due to excessive dissipation of vitality,” Ye Qiu explained.
“Hehe, not to hide it from you, I, Li Jinglong, am known as ‘the groom every night’ outside, but as you said, I’ve been feeling less spirited lately,” Li Jinglong admitted.
“Youth does not know the treasure of the kidney; in old age, you weep in vain,” Ye Qiu offered a line of poetry to Li Jinglong.
After hearing it, Li Jinglong felt it was profoundly true and looked up to Ye Qiu with deep respect.
“Let’s get to the main point.
Tell about the jade mine we’re going to,” said Li Jinglong, feeling it was better to focus on the important matters.
As for learning more about kidney restoration, he could always ask Ye Qiu after they returned from Myanmar.
“Brother Ye, this ti we are going to the Houjiang mining area in Myanmar.
A new mine has been discovered there, and a large number of jade experts have already rushed over.
We must act quickly.”
“I trust Brother Ye’s stone-assessing skills.
No good jade can escape your discerning eyes…” Li Jinglong talked at length, essentially talking to himself.
Ye Qiu seed to be listening, but in reality, it went in one ear and out the other.
Ye Qiu’s thod of assessing stones was not like anyone else’s.
He would analyze potential locations for jade based on the geological environnt, and then add a bit of luck to the gamble.
Assessing stones for Ye Qiu was simple; he just used his X-ray vision to see whether there was jade inside the stone, which made it instantly clear!
X-ray vision!
At that mont, Ye Qiu’s eyes flashed, and suddenly, the dark energy within his Dantian stirred too!
