"What's going on? Is this a real gun? Are the bullets real bullets?"
Everyone was baffled; to them, the bullet seemed to have obediently fallen into his hands.
Not only were the audience members completely bewildered, but even Old He, who had been clamoring to become Qingyun's apprentice, was unusually quiet, squatting on the ground and looking up at Qingyun.
“First… innate?” The head of the Gu family was shaking like he had Parkinson’s disease. His whole body, down to the last hair, was trembling, and the stool beneath him was creaking loudly.
Whether it was unsteady footing or dodging firearms, everything makes sense now! Qingyun had actually reached the Innate Realm…
What had he done before? He actually wanted his granddaughter to compete with a martial arts master for a boyfriend? The head of the Gu family trembled with fear.
Parrying firearms is something that only those who have reached the Innate Realm can do, and now everyone has realized it, looking at Qingyun with either fervor or fear.
Nie Chenyuan walked over to Qingyun and scanned him from head to toe before finally feeling relieved. Although he knew that with Qingyun's cultivation level, dodging bullets wouldn't be a problem, he still couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart for a moment.
Qingyun looked up and returned his passionate kiss, tossed him the bullet, and the two walked down side by side.
Seeing the two of them standing intimately from behind, no one dared to say that Qingyun was greedy for wealth and had impure motives.
Are you kidding me? Qingyun is a Xiantian martial artist. Which family wouldn't treat him like royalty? What wealth does he covet from the Nie family? And what about using Nie Chenyuan to avenge his father? Does someone like Qingyun, who is capable of sweeping through the ancient martial arts world, need that?
After drinking some hot tea, the guests in the private room finally recovered. The head of the Gu family tried to hold back, but he couldn't help but point at Nie Songping and curse: "You old bastard, you're a real piece of work! You actually hid a Xiantian master in your own home and pretended to be a pitiful fool to us!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Nie Songping chuckled twice, seemingly begging for forgiveness with a nonchalant air, but in reality, he secretly gripped the armrest of the chair to steady himself from almost slipping off.
He only knew that Qingyun had reached the Acquired Realm, but he had no idea when she reached the Innate Realm. He was quite helpless about having a granddaughter-in-law—no, a grandson-in-law—who had unknowingly reached the Innate Realm.
The Ancient Martial Arts Tournament ended long ago, but Nie Chenyuan returned to the Nie family home late at night, and the lights in Qingyun's room had long been turned off.
He unbuttoned his collar and went upstairs. The sudden appearance of a Xiantian martial artist was too sensational; these people dared not disturb Qingyun, and his cunning grandfather had already slipped away. Therefore, Nie Chenyuan had no choice but to stay and deal with this group of people and handle the matters concerning Lin's mother and Lin Yuhao.
That's not all. The coincidence is that Old He actually guessed correctly that Nie Chenyuan had also advanced to the Innate Realm. Nie Chenyuan had to put in a lot of effort to deceive him.
He stepped onto the last step of the stairs, intending to walk towards Qingyun's room, but when he looked up, he saw the old butler standing respectfully at the corner, blocking his way.
"Uncle Chen, why are you still here so late?" Nie Chenyuan frowned.
Butler Chen smiled respectfully at him and said, "Master instructed that you must be kept in sight and that you must not be allowed to disturb Mr. Qing's rest."
"..."
Nie Chenyuan gritted his teeth, wondering who his real grandson was!
Qingyun sensed movement by the window and slowly opened his eyes in the darkness. Looking up, he saw Nie Chenyuan climbing in through the window. He reached out and turned on the light, frowning as he looked at Nie Chenyuan and asked, "How did you get in here?"
A gentle breeze blew in from outside the window, and Qingyun caught a whiff of alcohol on Nie Chenyuan. Immediately, displeasure flashed in her eyes: "Go out and wash yourself before you come back."
Having anticipated his reaction, Nie Chenyuan promptly stripped off his clothes and threw them out the window. He had been "alone in his empty room" for over a week, and the end of the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament had taken up most of his time. How could he possibly stand it now?
As he undressed me, he suddenly chuckled, his face showing both nostalgia and doting affection: "When we first met, you helped me take off my clothes, but now I have to do it myself."
Hearing this, a hint of a smile flashed in Qingyun's eyes, but she immediately raised her chin arrogantly: "Oh, I remember you even chased me away back then?"
Nie Chenyuan quickly sidled up to beg for mercy.
Qingyun rolled her eyes in exasperation, got out of bed, opened the bathroom door, and pushed the person in: "Take a good shower, wash yourself clean."
Nie Chenyuan wrapped his arms around him and led him into the bathroom together, saying, "Then you supervise me as we shower together."
Steam rose in the bathroom, and soon, soft, ambiguous moans mingled with the splashing water, filling the room with an intimate atmosphere.
The original poster didn't say anything, but simply edited together two video clips: one of Lin Yuhao angrily berating Qing Haolin and praising Lin's mother, and the other of a 1970s romance film playing on the screen. Below were numerous blushing emojis, vividly depicting the embarrassing situation.
The post quickly gained popularity after it first appeared. After all, not everyone watched the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament, and many onlookers were still caught up in Lin Yuhao's lies. Once the video was released, many people expressed how terrifying the world is, and how one shouldn't blindly take sides, lest they be proven wrong.
Of course, it was also revealed that Lin Yuhao's mother knew about his attempt to kill Qingyun. Besides a group of followers who admired martial arts, Qingyun gained a large following of overly maternal fans. Lin Yuhao, once a rising star in the ancient martial arts world, is now surrounded by online criticism.
The relationship between Nie Chenyuan and Qingyun was widely discussed. Those who said that Qingyun sold her body to avenge her father were ridiculed by their companions and couldn't hold their heads up.
Did Qingyun sell her body? It's more believable now that Nie Chenyuan was after Qingyun's innate talent. But given that both of them are formidable, such talk is rare.
