After reading Ye Yan's message, Xie Wei, feeling bored, started looking at the things that had piled up in the past few days. Xie Wei wasn't a particularly diligent person, but he never missed a single task that needed to be done.

The documents were mostly about cooperation on anti-cancer drugs. After Xie Wei finished processing the documents, he handed over the rest of the process to his assistant.

Xie Wei's assistant was found by Xie Wei based on the destiny chart that Xie Lan rewarded him with. Originally, he was supposed to fail in his business, lose everything, and then commit suicide by jumping off a building, but he was invited by Xie Wei to be his assistant, thus changing his fate.

From the assistant's perspective, Xie Wei not only recognized his talent but also saved his life, making him extremely loyal to Xie Wei.

Because Xie Wei presented himself as serious, ruthless, and decisive, his assistant assumed that Xie Wei was busy with other business when he was not at Qiyuan, and diligently helped Xie Wei organize documents and manage the company.

Over the years, the system has given out many rewards, some of which Xie Wei didn't even know how they were triggered, so he could only accept them in a daze.

With Xie Shengyu in charge of the Xie Group, Xie Wei didn't need to worry about anything. His own company was also managed by his trusted confidants. He only taught at the Imperial University for two days, so Xie Wei could be said to have a lot of free time.

Of course not. Xie Wei has been cultivating diligently these past few days and has broken through to the late stage of the Acquired Realm. He has also cultivated the Asura Technique to the first level.

There was still no progress in interpreting "Red Dust," but Xie Wei had read it through roughly once, and his spiritual power had reached the peak of the late-stage acquired realm. His life was certainly fulfilling.

......

Night gradually falls in the capital, and people stroll the streets in twos and threes, beginning their nightlife. The lights are dim, shadows dart about, and laughter fills the air.

Life has returned to normalcy, a routine of going back and forth between two points, which may be boring, but it's free.

When the time comes, whether it's the pillars of the nation needing to continue striving tomorrow, or the flowers of the nation needing to be nurtured by knowledge, people disperse for various reasons.

The street, like a mirror-like river, meanders through the dense shade of trees. Only the leaves, rustling in the wind, seem to recall the hustle and bustle of just moments before.

Xie Wei was fast asleep when the window of his room was quietly opened, and a figure dressed in black quickly slipped into Xie Wei's room, illuminated by the moonlight.

Approaching the sleeping Xie Wei, the sharp blade in his hand was about to fall but then stopped. He looked at Xie Wei's sleeping face and saw that the person was about to turn around and leave.

"Why did you stop?" Xie Wei's voice rang out in the quiet room. "Li Ning?"

Through the moonlight, a beautiful face was imprinted in Xie Wei's eyes; it was Li Ning, who had just finished the trial. Xie Wei woke up when Li Ning opened the window, and with a mental scan, he saw Li Ning dressed in a dark green night outfit, with her figure still as perfect as ever, and her hair slightly longer.

After learning that it was Li Ning, Xie Wei wanted to see what she was up to, so he pretended to be asleep and waited for her to come to him.

When Li Ning raised the blade in her hand, Xie Wei did not move. When Li Ning was about to stab her, Xie Wei still did not move. Seeing Li Ning's actions, Xie Wei became even more puzzled. Only when Li Ning was about to leave did Xie Wei speak.

Just as Xie Wei was about to ask something, he saw the girl opposite him sheath her blade, clench her fist, and turn to attack Xie Wei.

Xie Wei was baffled. He raised his hand to block Li Ning's fist, wanting to see what Li Ning was up to. But when he saw that Li Ning's eyes were slightly red, he realized that Li Ning's emotions were not right.

When Xie Wei saw Li Ning clench her other fist and punch Xie Wei, he didn't dodge this time. Although he didn't know why Li Ning was in a bad mood, Xie Wei felt that it must be related to him when he thought about Li Ning's actions today.

The fist Xie Wei expected didn't land; it stopped at Xie Wei's chest. Li Ning, her eyes reddening, looked up at Xie Wei. "You...aren't you going to dodge? Why?"

Xie Wei released Li Ning's fist and sat on the bed. "Why are you here again, Li Ning?" Xie Wei did not answer Li Ning's question, but instead asked Li Ning.

"The hunt, yours, the dark web, the underworld has taken over." Li Ning couldn't express what he wanted to say fluently, so he could only hurriedly explain in his own way.

Although she spoke very little and her words were hurried, Xie Wei still understood that someone had issued a kill order against him on the dark web, and the underworld had accepted it, so the girl came here.

"But your underworld is for judging the most heinous criminals, right? I shouldn't be considered one of those people," Xie Wei still couldn't understand why the underworld would accept him, and even send a young girl. "Is the underworld in trouble?"

"No," the girl suddenly seemed hesitant to meet Xie Wei's gaze. "I... answered it without permission."

Xie Wei was even more confused now.

"Go back, you...you won't find me," Li Ning tried to make her tone sound less urgent, speaking with force and calmness, "I was anxious. The dark web saw you, so I came."

Before Xie Wei could speak, Li Ning said angrily, "You, no information, scared, came to find you, pretended to be asleep, played me."

After listening to everything the girl said, Xie Wei understood why Li Ning's emotions were off earlier. It was because Xie Wei hadn't told Li Ning about his return to China. When Li Ning returned to the apartment after passing the test, she found that Xie Wei and the others were gone and assumed that something had happened to them.

It wasn't until Li Ning saw the kill order for Xie Wei on the dark web that she realized Xie Wei had returned to China, and she took on the mission without permission. After investigating, she went to Xie Wei's residence and found that Xie Wei was perfectly fine and had even pretended to be asleep to deceive Li Ning. Li Ning was furious and wanted to beat Xie Wei up.

Looking at it this way, Xie Wei actually found the girl somewhat cute and couldn't help but smile. But when he saw the girl's angry expression, as if she wanted to bite someone, he withdrew his smile.
