After separating from Luo Chen.
Ling Qingyi returned to her residence. She had come to Yan Province and did not intend to share a villa with Luo Chen.
That would be somewhat inappropriate, not to mention that as the head of the Ling family, he also has many businesses in Yan Province.
As soon as I stepped inside, I saw Uncle Xu already waiting there.
"Miss."
Despite not having seen each other for a long time, Uncle Xu's tone remained relatively calm.
That's just his personality; he rarely feels that kind of joy even after not seeing someone for a long time.
Ling Qingyi didn't mind, nodded slightly, and walked past him into the room.
Uncle Xu followed behind, and the two walked towards the hall.
After Ling Qingyi sat down, Uncle Xu asked, "Miss, what brings you here?"
He only learned of this news when the three brothers, nicknamed "Passerby A," were leaving. Ling Qingyi eventually called him, and only then did he believe it was true.
Uncle Xu was a little confused as to why Miss had come here.
Could it be because of Young Master Luo?
"I'm here for a reason."
Ling Qingyi's gaze fell on Uncle Xu. She was about to ask what she had come for when she noticed that Uncle Xu seemed to have changed.
She frowned slightly and asked, "Uncle Xu, what is your strength?"
"Yes."
Uncle Xu nodded lightly, then his expression darkened slightly as if he had thought of something unpleasant.
Ling Qingyi was a little curious. It had only been a month or so since she last saw him, and Uncle Xu's strength was already close to reaching the Transcendent Realm. This was truly surprising.
She knew about the ways of martial artists; improving one's strength was not an easy thing.
Without taking shortcuts, it takes a considerable amount of time to solidify one's foundation and make progress.
When Uncle Xu had instructed him to go to Yan Province to help Luo Chen, he was only at the peak of Dark Force. Although he was only half a step away from the Transcendent Realm, it was unrealistic to expect to improve to that level in just a month or two.
Uncle Xu had told her before that his talent and potential were almost exhausted, and that this might be his limit.
But now, it seems something has happened that she doesn't know about.
Uncle Xu didn't hide anything about this. If it were someone else, they naturally wouldn't have said it, because it would have been too embarrassing, and besides, they wouldn't have said it anyway.
But when facing Ling Qingyi, Uncle Xu would tell her everything he knew, except for a few private matters.
When Ling Qingyi heard that Qin Xiyao had made a terrible dish, fish head soup, her expression showed slight surprise.
Cooking is a tricky thing, that's clear, but most people have no problem making simple things.
However, it's quite rare to hear of someone turning seemingly normal ingredients into something abnormal.
Especially when he heard Uncle Xu grit his teeth and say with a gloomy face why he had been suddenly promoted.
Ling Qingyi felt pity in her heart, while suppressing a laugh.
After all, Uncle Xu has been with her for so long, and he has always been mature, steady, and quick-witted, so he won't suffer any losses.
Unexpectedly, whenever something was related to Luo Chen, Uncle Xu seemed to suddenly lose those things and kept falling into traps.
But when did Tiger Soul become so cunning? He seemed so honest and simple, only sensitive to power, yet he had this side to him.
They actually used a compassionate expression to ruthlessly smash down the brick.
It seems like no one could accept something like this.
Suddenly, Ling Qingyi felt that Xu Shu's breakthrough might actually be thanks to that brick from Hu Po.
[...]
I've skipped this topic and won't touch on such painful memories again.
Uncle Xu asked Ling Qingyi again why she came to Yan Province.
Ling Qingyi paused, her expression returning to its usual coldness, and slowly said, "Do you know what Luo Chen has been planning to do lately?"
"I know."
Uncle Xu nodded.
Luo Chen didn't hide those things from him; he had handled some of them personally, so naturally he would know.
"Then you should know why I came."
Ling Qingyi's words had a deeper meaning, and those who didn't know her well couldn't guess it at first glance.
"..."
Uncle Xu paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then nodded and said, "Miss, you're here to help Young Master Luo solve his troubles, right?"
Aside from this, Uncle Xu really couldn't think of anything important in Yan Province that would warrant Ling Qingyi's visit.
He knew his young mistress's personality all too well.
Moreover, Ling Qingyi also knew about what was happening here. Although she didn't know the details, she could certainly understand the situation from some details and brief words.
Otherwise, where would he get the ability to control the entire underground forces in Ningcheng?
"That's right, because I'm not entirely comfortable with it."
From the moment Ling Qingyi learned of these things, she was worried that Luo Chen might suffer some kind of injustice in Yan Province. In addition, Luo Chen's previous words and serious tone implied that he should not be underestimated.
"Miss, things aren't as serious as you think."
Uncle Xu comforted him, "Although the current situation seems unfavorable to us, Young Master Luo has already made arrangements."
Putting aside the past, now that even undercover agents have been placed in the enemy's territory, even if there are still some things that are not yet prepared, they can be prevented in time.
Uncle Xu wasn't actually worried, but he understood that the young lady said that simply because she didn't want Luo Chen to feel wronged.
"I don't like having things that make me uneasy. I know about the things Luo Chen arranged, but some things are hard to predict."
"Of course, there's one more thing I need you to do here in Yan Province."
[...]
At first, Uncle Xu was not clear about what he needed to do, although he would carry out orders.
However, when they arrived at the Ac nightclub with Ling Qingyi...
Uncle Xu then realized that something was wrong.
Normally at this time, nightclubs would be preparing to open for business, but today, there are notices posted saying they are not accepting customers.
None of the staff came; instead, only the security guards patrolling the entrance remained.
But inside the nightclub, under the bright lights, there were quite a few people crowded together.
Everyone had a fierce expression and an aggressive aura.
If you just throw one of those on the street, it will scare many passersby.
But these people stood there unusually quietly, all looking up at the second-floor platform.
Uncle Xu was shocked.
I thought it was surprising enough that Ling Qingyi had come to Yan Province.
Unexpectedly, she brought a large group of people with her.
What are we preparing to do?
Is this... something that Miss is required to do?
Ling Qingyi didn't look at Uncle Xu's expression; she stood aloof and cold on the second-floor platform.
Although no one uttered a word, the people standing on the first floor all bowed their heads and respectfully said, "Greetings, Miss, my Queen..."
