A slightly chubby and scrawny boy was standing at the door, arguing with two inner court disciples.

After Qin Xin walked in and saw what the boy looked like, he immediately stepped forward.

"Everyone, step back! He's my friend!"

He immediately spoke up, telling those who were blocking the somewhat chubby young man to back away.

Several inner disciples who had only recently joined the Kunmen main peak turned around and saw Qin Xin galloping towards them, and immediately stepped aside.

"Yuanbao, you've entered the inner courtyard too?" Qin Xin greeted him with a joyful expression.

The somewhat chubby and awkward-looking boy in front of him was Jin Yuanbao, a friend Qin Xin had made in the outer courtyard. However, the selection for the inner courtyard had not yet begun, so Qin Xin had some doubts.

Upon seeing Qin Xin, Jin Yuanbao looked worried and immediately grabbed Qin Xin's hand, trying to lead him out of the inner courtyard. He said anxiously, "Boss, we've finally found you! Getting into this inner courtyard is such a hassle. Luckily, we have the token left by Supervisor Rong Ling. Alright, enough talk, come with me!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Let's talk as we walk." Seeing Jin Yuanbao's anxious expression, Qin Xin, though unsure of the reason, followed him out of the inner courtyard.

Jin Yuanbao paused, his expression changing slightly, and said, "Boss, your Tianyuan Qin Clan may be in danger."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xin was taken aback and quickened his pace, calmly asking, "What happened?"

“A few days ago, Ling Yan and I encountered a rather simple-minded man outside Black Dragon City. He was on the verge of death. We noticed that his clothes bore the insignia of your Tianyuan Qin Clan, so we brought him into Black Dragon City and found a courtyard for him to recuperate.”

"While he was in a coma, he kept repeating one sentence."

"Young Master Qin Xin, Miss Qin Xue, you must not return to Tianyuan City!"

Jin Yuanbao was panting heavily, seemingly because the journey had exhausted his internal energy, and his lips were starting to turn pale.

"Was that person called Tie Niu?" Qin Xin took out a Qi-restoring pill and handed it to Jin Yuanbao, asking nervously.

Without any hesitation, Jin Yuanbao took out a Qi-restoring pill and swallowed it. After catching his breath, he said, "Yes, yes, that's the name."

"Where is he? Take me there quickly." Qin Xin sensed something was wrong, and his face showed some anxiety.

Jin Yuanbao also knew the importance of the matter, so he led the way.

As they spoke, the two had already reached the exit of the inner courtyard and leaped onto a Wind-Riding Eagle.

The inner court disciple who was guarding the Wind-Riding Eagle wanted to step forward and stop the two who were behaving so unruly, but when he saw the low-grade fire-attribute spirit stone that Qin Xin threw out, his face lit up with joy and he reached out to catch it.

He rushed forward to take the chains off the Wind-Riding Eagle. Seeing such a generous person, the inner courtyard disciple guarding the Wind-Riding Eagle naturally did not want to make things difficult. He swiped his identity crystal, reducing his spiritual energy.

The Wind-Riding Eagle, which had been restricted from contact, took to the air in an instant.

Qin Xin and Jin Yuanbao stood on the broad back of the Wind-Riding Eagle, feeling the wind whistling past their ears.

Seeing that Jin Yuanbao was unsteady, Qin Xin raised his hand slightly and used his true energy to support him in order to prevent him from falling off the Wind-Riding Eagle.

~~~~~~

Qin Xin's figure had just disappeared from the inner courtyard.

Inside an exceptionally luxurious cave dwelling in the Ganmen area, several women, completely naked, were writhing and swaying their bodies.

The boys thoroughly enjoyed the wine.

A burst of blue light flowed from his fingertips, and a look of joy instantly crossed the face of the man in plain clothes.

"What a fool! Daring to leave the inner courtyard at a time like this," the man in plain clothes said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, another boy standing nearby also showed a look of joy on his face, "It seems that he really is the Second Prince of Tianzhu. He would always be restricted in the Eastern Wilderness Academy. Since he has left, we will naturally not let him come back."

Xia Qi and Ruan Yuan were discussing how to deal with Qin Xin, but there were many powerful figures in the Eastern Wilderness Academy. If they forcibly killed him, they would likely be severely punished. Now that Qin Xin had left, it gave them a good opportunity to make their move.

Xia Qi looked at the alluring woman beside him and said softly, "Xiaoman, go and inform the Thunder Pavilion of Kunmen. They will probably take action. You should also take some guards with you and bring back everything that Qin Xin obtained from the Luoshenmen ruins."

"Hmph! Second Prince, you're so naughty! You always order me around!" Ruan Xiaoman twisted her waist and lay in Xia Qi's arms, speaking in a coquettish manner.

Xia Qi gently tapped the tip of her nose and said with a mischievous smile, "After the mission is accomplished, I will satisfy you properly."

"It's a deal!" Ruan Xiaoman gently blew a breath on Xia Qi's nose with her red lips.

As she swayed her serpentine waist past Ruan Yuan, she didn't forget to pat his shoulder.

"That slut!" Ruan Yuan sighed softly as he watched Ruan Xiaoman's figure disappear into the cave.

Xia Qi, dressed in plain clothes, had already taken off his clothes and walked into a pool filled with flower petals. The naked women who were dancing rushed in, and for a moment, spring was in full bloom.

"Ruan Yuan, I must say, your younger sister is just what I desire," Xia Qi said, beckoning Ruan Yuan to come down and play with him.

When Ruan Yuan saw Xia Qi summon him, a lewd smile immediately appeared on his face. Compared with his usual aloof image, he was completely different. As he took off his clothes, he said, "If the Second Prince likes it, then we should inform Lin Jinglei. He is now willing to serve the Great Xia Dynasty."

"Just a kid in the Enlightenment Realm, Lin Jinglei. I have other plans for him," Xia Qi said, lying on his snow-white legs with a look of enjoyment.

Accompanied by bursts of sweet moans, the entire cave was like a wine pool and a meat forest.

~~~~~~

After returning to Black Dragon City with Jin Yuanbao, the two went directly to a secluded courtyard in the south of the city.

As soon as Qin Xin stepped into the courtyard, he smelled a very strong aroma of medicinal herbs. The burly Mo Wen was squatting on the ground, carefully looking at a pot for brewing medicine.

Qin Xin wasn't too surprised to sense the powerful blood energy emanating from Mo Wen's body. He had given them quite a few Qi Condensation Pills before, so it was perfectly normal for him to have reached the third level of the Qi Opening Realm. It would be strange if he hadn't made such progress.

As for Jin Yuanbao, Qin Xin knew that he had entered the Enlightenment Realm when he first met him, and that the aftereffects of being injured by Kong Bai had been completely cured.

"Boss!" Upon seeing Qin Xin arrive, Mo Wen immediately stood up and greeted him with a憨憨 (simple and honest) smile.

Qin Xin nodded slightly and followed Jin Yuanbao into the room.

Shangguan Lingyan was sitting to the side, watching over the man lying on the hospital bed, her face looking somewhat tired.

"Yuanbao, have you seen the boss?" Sensing someone enter, Shangguan Lingyan struggled to sit up, her body swaying slightly.

Jin Yuanbao quickly stepped forward to help Shangguan Lingyan up, and whispered, "Yes, the boss has arrived."

Hearing Jin Yuanbao's words, Shangguan Lingyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Xin stepped forward, nodded slightly to Shangguan Lingyan, and then looked down to notice that her lower abdomen was protruding, as if she was pregnant. However, he did not go forward to ask her anything, but instead went directly to the bedside.

The middle-aged man lying on the bed had his face cleaned of blood, but there were several small wounds on his face, as if he had been scratched by a strong force.

"Uncle Tie Niu!"

Upon seeing the middle-aged man's appearance, Qin Xin immediately recognized him. However, the man's aura was intermittent, as if he were about to die at any moment.

Qin Xin immediately stepped forward, his martial spirit instantly activated, and powerful true energy quickly gathered between his palms through his true acupoints. As he placed his palms on the middle-aged man, he rapidly injected the energy into his body.

"His internal organs and meridians are all damaged. What exactly did Uncle Tie Niu go through to suffer such injuries?" Qin Xin frowned deeply, sensing the severity of Tie Niu's injuries.

With the infusion of true energy, Tie Niu, who had been unconscious, regained some consciousness. He lifted his heavy eyelids and vaguely saw the boy in front of him. He wanted to say something, but the boy stopped him directly.

"Uncle Tie Niu, heal your wounds first." Qin Xin freed his hand, his fingertips flashing with light, and a healing pill fell directly into Tie Niu's mouth.

For a moment, the room fell silent. Jin Yuanbao, Shangguan Lingyan, and Mo Wen stood aside, not daring to approach and disturb them.

Iron Ox, whose aura was originally intermittent, began to have his aura gradually stabilize under the influence of Qin Xin's true energy.
