Ye Qinghuan was stunned by what she was being told. She had only made a small move, was it really necessary to say such a thing?
Qin Xiao felt a little embarrassed and whispered in Ye Qinghuan's ear.
"I...they know about me and Qingya..."
Ye Qinghuan's delicate little ears turned slightly red when he brought them close.
But upon hearing Qin Xiao's words, her entire face flushed red.
This...this, they know that my mother is with Qin Xiao, so what am I doing now?
Isn't this blatantly telling everyone that the mother and daughter are having an affair?
Although I am not related to her by blood, others do not know that.
Thinking of those words, she shuddered and then released Qin Xiao's arm as if it were burning her.
"Ahem, I'm just... I'm just happy to see you all, please don't overthink it."
Ye Qinghuan spoke with feigned composure, picked up Qin Xiao's glass of wine, and downed it in one gulp.
"Cough cough cough~"
I drank it too fast and choked.
The Liu sisters looked on thoughtfully. Was that cup Qin Xiao's?
They have such a good relationship!
Moreover, this explanation is worse than no explanation at all; it only makes things worse.
Qin Xiao also realized this and took the initiative to change the subject.
"Hey, speaking of which, Feixue, what kind of secret realm did your team discover?"
Liu Feixue knew that the other party wanted to change the subject, but she didn't point it out and went along with it.
"Actually, it's a secret realm with little potential, but it has some interesting rare and precious materials inside."
According to the background information of Huawu Kingdom, it should be classified as an 'ancient' secret realm.
The extraordinary professions within are primarily those of martial artists, who develop their true qi by refining the essence of food.
Some individuals have reached the level of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, making them among the strongest in this world.
However, that's all there is to it. The hierarchy of the world is what it is; no matter how one cultivates, the upper limit is already predetermined.
Qin Xiao's eyes lit up even more as he listened.
He asked with some excitement, "Are you sure it's true qi cultivation, a martial artist's?"
Liu Feixue nodded. "Why are you so excited? It's true, I've been inside a few times and done a quick survey."
Qin Xiao's feelings were complicated at this moment; he was indeed very excited.
However, besides the excitement about something he was familiar with from his previous life, another thought came to his mind.
He had already found Yunyun's secret realm interesting, but that world was on the verge of destruction.
Moreover, even if it isn't destroyed, he probably wouldn't be able to afford to mess with something of that level from the original world.
After all, someone who has been asleep for hundreds of years without even a physical body can have a diamond-level cultivation level.
It's not hard to imagine how strong the sect's foundation must be, with its sect leaders, elders, hidden masters, and powerful members.
If he can't play in the world of immortals and heroes, can't he play in the world of martial arts?
Moreover, if their ideologies could align, the world might be able to provide him with a continuous stream of talent and subordinates!
As for the issue of strength, that's actually easier to handle. Since Jianmu absorbed that world, its upper limit naturally increased.
As he grows stronger, the limits of this world will naturally increase.
The world of martial arts is probably quite simple and easy to fool, right?
The more Qin Xiao thought about it, the more ideas came to him.
"This secret realm of yours is very important. We'll take it down tomorrow."
Liu Feixue raised an eyebrow, unable to understand what was so important about an ordinary world of the Platinum Rank to someone like Qin Xiao.
But since the boss had already said that, she certainly wasn't going to be foolish enough to refute him.
It's just for fun anyway, so it's no problem for Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao became increasingly interested as he thought about it.
I wonder if this world could possibly overlap with the martial arts novels I read in my past life?
That would be interesting.
The group chatted for a while longer, and then it was time for the class reunion that Zhou You had arranged.
After all, they arrived in Gyeongju in the afternoon for lunch.
It should be about time to get through this.
Qin Xiao didn't want to go, but Zhou Lei insisted that he go and show off.
Having no other choice, he reluctantly led the women to the location Zhou Lei had chosen.
"Brother Xiao, do you still remember Su Wanqiu?"
Qin Xiao frowned. "Are you stupid? Of course I remember! This green tea is here too?"
Zhou Lei chuckled, "That's not it..."
Qin Xiao frowned slightly, "Don't you dare cause me any trouble, kid."
"Hehe, you'll see when you get there, Brother Xiao."
As they talked, they soon arrived at their destination, a place that combined bars, restaurants, leisure facilities, and other entertainment options.
Zhou Lei didn't actually organize this class reunion himself; he just wanted to join in and have some fun.
The person who organized this class reunion was someone else, a former classmate who was probably a hidden rich kid. He probably wanted to see if he could get in touch with Qin Xiao.
The group followed the signs to the fourth floor, which was designated for entertainment.
In a huge private room, dozens of people were whispering among themselves.
If you listen carefully, the name Qin Xiao is almost always mentioned.
The door opened, and Qin Xiao led his men inside. Everyone in the room turned to look.
After a three-second silence, a burst of discussion erupted.
"Holy crap, they're really here!"
"Wow, Qin Xiao has changed so much! I never realized he was so charming."
"Bullshit, he was handsome before, okay!"
"Wait, who are those three next to him...?"
There are clearly four!
"Tch, Zhou Lei is just a sidekick, we can ignore him..."
The scene was somewhat eerie. Everyone was excited, but no one stepped forward to greet them. Everyone was a little...afraid.
In typical tropes, no matter how capable the protagonist is, they will still be ridiculed.
Or they're clearly incredibly capable, but they choose to hide their strength and act like a pushover, claiming it's to be low-key and avoid alienating others.
It's actually pretty stupid.
However, Qin Xiao did so many big things that year that were known throughout the country, making it impossible for him to pretend otherwise.
A boy stepped forward from the crowd.
"Qin Xiao, long time no see! I'm Chen Ning. I bet you don't even remember me, haha."
As the man spoke, he stretched out his hand.
As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face, and since this person was the organizer of today's event, Qin Xiao still extended his hand and shook hands.
"That's not quite right. Although I was a bit withdrawn before, and Chen Ning was similar, we did have little interaction, but we still knew each other."
Chen Ning smiled, and the tension in his heart eased considerably.
Sometimes things are just that strange. Everyone at school is pretty silly, and you can't really tell who's better or worse.
But now, only a year after graduating from high school, everything seems to have changed.
As they talked, the group found a seat and sat down, with Ye Qinghuan and Liu Piaoxu sitting close to him on either side.
The old classmates watching were twitching with disbelief, especially the female classmates, who were speechless.
Chen Ning stood in front of the hall and said, "Classmates, eat and drink as you please. Today is just for catching up, so relax and have fun."
"Hey, I came alone and wanted to find someone to have a drink with. Just call out on the projector, no need to be shy."
"Wow, well done, Chen Ning!"
"Haha, then I won't be polite! I want two girls to roll the dice with me!"
Qin Xiao's eye twitched. What the hell is all this stuff?!
This group of people doesn't look like students who graduated from high school a year ago at all!
