"Fifth Master, is there any need to get so angry with a young man?" Ning Qingyan gave Ye Xingchen a deep look, then said with a smile, "Give me some face, and I'll treat you to drinks another day."
"Fine..." Qin Wu reluctantly accepted the offer, "For Miss Ning's sake, I won't hold it against you today."
Ye Xingchen then sheathed his knife, thanked Ning Qingyan, and pulled Qin Yue away.
"Kid, you'd better watch out. Tianhai won't tolerate you anymore. Cherish your head," Qin Wu said slyly.
Qin Wu had never suffered such a great loss, and he couldn't swallow this insult. Within three days, he would definitely take Ye Xingchen's life.
"You should really take care of yourself," Ye Xingchen glanced at him.
"What's wrong with me?" Qin Wu was taken aback.
"You must be fifty this year? You have horizontal lines on your eyebrows, and a wisp of death energy gathers between your eyebrows, which means you are like a dragon trapped in prison."
"This is also your life-or-death tribulation. At fifty, one should know one's destiny. If you can escape this tribulation, you will rise to the heavens like a dragon in the dark. If you cannot escape it, then you should prepare for your funeral as soon as possible," Ye Xingchen said with a cold laugh.
The "Destiny Chapter" of the Supreme Jade Purity Dao Scripture states that one can know one's destiny and glimpse the secrets of heaven, and can see Qin Wu's fate at a glance.
"What did you say?" Qin Wu's expression changed drastically.
"You're lucky to have met me. Let me give you a piece of advice: it's not a good time to go west tonight. Take care of yourself."
After saying this, Ye Xingchen pulled Qin Yue away, while Qin Wu stood there, speechless for a long time.
Thirty years ago, before he became wealthy, a wise man said the same thing: that he was destined to be a hidden dragon trapped in prison, and that 50 years old would be a major hurdle. If he could overcome it, he would soar to great heights; if he couldn't, he would die.
These words, coming from Ye Xingchen's mouth today, shocked him greatly.
As they pulled Qin Yue away, a gust of wind blew by, and Qin Yue shrank her neck and instinctively covered her chest.
Her previous haughty attitude vanished, and she looked pitiful.
Ye Xingchen's heart softened, and he took off his coat and wrapped it around her body: "Shall I take you home?"
"I...I'm homeless now." Qin Yue wept, completely shedding her pretense in front of the man who had taken her virginity.
Where is her home now? Her father died young, and her mother spoiled her younger brother, who owed hundreds of thousands of dollars in gambling debts. Then she sold her here to pay off his debts. She really doesn't know where to go now.
"Why don't you come to my place first?" Ye Xingchen said.
"Mm." Qin Yue nodded, feeling ashamed as she recalled the intimate moment with Ye Xingchen.
Ye Xingchen rented a single room, and he left the only bed for Qin Yue, sleeping on the sofa himself.
"You...come and sleep on the bed, the sofa is too small." Qin Yue felt bad.
"Is this... appropriate?" Ye Xingchen swallowed hard. This woman had finally dropped her cold expression and was now subdued by him.
"If it's not suitable, then don't come." Qin Yue said sternly.
Still putting on airs? I'll teach you a lesson if I don't! Ye Xingchen was provoked and climbed into bed.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yue drew a line in the middle: "Half for each person, no crossing the line, crossing the line is beastly."
Ye Xingchen was speechless. If he didn't cross the line, wouldn't he be worse than a beast?
He had no choice but to lie down obediently, inhaling the faint fragrance emanating from the woman, and soon fell asleep.
Having just awakened the inheritance within the copper bell, Ye Xingchen needed some time to fully integrate these inheritances, so he entered a meditative state as soon as he lay down.
After Qin Wu finished dealing with the club's affairs, the driver drove the car to the villa in the suburbs.
His villa was to the west. He suddenly remembered Ye Xingchen's words that they couldn't go west tonight, so he quickly shouted, "Xiao Wu, stop the car."
"What's wrong, Fifth Master?" The driver quickly stopped the car.
"Let's not go to the villa today, let's go back to the clubhouse," Qin Wuye thought for a moment.
"Okay, I'll turn around." The driver nodded and was about to turn around.
Just then, a loud bang was heard in front, followed by a tremor from the ground.
"What's wrong?" Qin Wu's eyelids twitched.
"Fifth Master, the bridge ahead has collapsed," a bodyguard rushed in to report.
"What?" Qin Wu's face turned pale. There was a bridge in front of him, and the Tianshui River flowed rapidly below. Moreover, the bridge was dozens of meters above the water. If he hadn't stopped, he would have been right in the middle of the bridge.
If he falls, he'll probably lose his life.
He said in a deep voice, "Check Ye Xingchen's whereabouts immediately. I want to pay him a visit in person."
When Ye Xingchen woke up the next day, it was already 10 a.m.
When he opened his eyes, he was surprised to find the room neatly tidy and breakfast was laid out on the table.
Qin Yue left a note saying that she hadn't quit her job during the day and still had to go to work, but she would move out once she found a place to live.
Ye Xingchen opened the covered breakfast: two fried eggs, a bowl of millet and pumpkin porridge, two side dishes, and a steamed bun.
After high school, he lived alone, and almost no one ever cared about him.
The woman he remembered as arrogant was actually tough on the outside but soft on the inside, giving him a unique warmth.
After finishing breakfast, he scanned his body with his consciousness and found that he was 60% better, but not completely healed.
Looking at the copper bell on his wrist, Ye Xingchen noticed it had gained a touch of spirituality. This thing was related to his origins. Ye Xingchen remembered his adoptive father's dying wish: sooner or later, he would find his biological parents.
But he couldn't worry about that right now, because his illness wasn't completely cured, and a full recovery wouldn't be so easy, since it was leukemia.
His poor health will likely hinder his spiritual practice, making it a stumbling block on his path to growth.
There are two ways to get better: one is to break through the five realms and use cultivation methods to cleanse the marrow and bones; the other is to use the method of combining books in the scriptures to find a woman with naturally charming bones and a life palace of nine.
However, both paths are somewhat difficult; poor health leads to slow progress in cultivation.
Ning Qingyan from last night met the criteria, but this kind of woman is hard to handle.
After much deliberation, Ye Xingchen decided to focus on recuperating first, since his previous illness had depleted his vital energy.
Just then, Li Li's voice rang out from outside the door: "Ye Xingchen, are you there?"
Ye Xingchen frowned, opened the door, and saw Li Li and her father standing in the doorway.
Li Li's father had shrewd and mercenary eyes; he was also an old rogue.
"What are you doing here?" Ye Xingchen asked in a cold voice.
"I came to apologize to you," Li Li said insincerely. "Seeing you like this makes me feel bad, so..."
"No need, just say what's on your mind." Ye Xingchen frowned.
An apology? Would a woman who eats people alive apologize?
"I'm here to help you. You don't have much money right now, you've lost your job, and you're sick. I've come to introduce you to a job," Li Li said, feigning concern.
"What kind of job?" Ye Xingchen sneered; she was definitely not that kind.
"Well, Lili's uncle works for a company overseas, and they're hiring right now. The job is easy; it's just answering and making phone calls."
Mr. Li said with a forced smile, "The salary is very high, tens of thousands a month. Many of our relatives and neighbors went with him, and after a few years away, they came back with cars and houses."
"Yes, Xingchen, I know you're still angry with me, but I really want to make it up to you. Here's the contract; you can sign it and move on." Li Li still feigned concern.
"Which country are you talking about?" Ye Xingchen asked. Abroad? Are this father and daughter trying to sell him out?
"It's from Myanmar..."
"I understand, northern Myanmar." Ye Xingchen nodded. "You're trying to lure me there and then cut off my kidneys?"
