He raised his hand, extended two fingers, and with perfect precision, caught the rapidly spinning bullet!
Lin Yuhao's pupils contracted, his eyes filled with disbelief.
A commotion erupted in the arena. Qing Yun was still standing on the ring, so his every move was projected onto the huge screen behind him. But no one could understand how he had caught the bullet.
"You...you pinch me! Is this a movie shoot?" One person tugged at the sleeve of the person next to him, dumbfounded, only to find that the other person was also completely stunned.
"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.
People strive for higher positions, and making choices isn't that difficult. Lin Yuhao wanted to use her as a pretext to establish his authority and fame, while she was no longer content to be the wife of a second-rate family head. Even if she knew that the lie from back then wouldn't last that long, what did it matter? This perfectly suited their interests; the lie could endure forever and even become the truth.
But what surprised her the most was Qingyun, the child she had almost raised to be stupid.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuxia looked up at the man in the suit in front of her. This man was none other than the former heir of the Nie family, and now the head of the Nie family. It was widely rumored that his cultivation had also reached the Innate Realm, but Nie Chenyuan did not develop his influence in the ancient martial arts world. Instead, he made sweeping reforms and brought the Nie family into the business world.
Time left no mark on this man, only making his demeanor more dangerous. Yet, this dangerous man could laugh like a child when making a phone call.
