Meanwhile, on the other side...
Hu Po and Uncle Xu walked out of the elevator together and headed towards Qin Xiyao's office.
The two chatted casually the whole way.
As they spoke, the two were sizing each other up.
Back when Tiger Soul was still in the Ling family's underground boxing ring, although there were many experts there, there were only a few who could satisfy Tiger Soul.
When he had nothing to do, Uncle Xu would go to the underground boxing ring to spar with Tiger Soul.
We often exchange ideas and learn from each other's experiences.
If we're talking about who understands the game of set numbers best, it's undoubtedly these two.
The two are evenly matched, and most of their games end in a draw.
They are very familiar with each other's strategies, making it difficult to determine a winner.
Even so, they enjoyed every fight to the fullest.
Now, however, they are each serving their own masters.
The disparity in strength between them has become significant.
"Old Xu, have you been slacking off lately?"
"How so?"
Tiger Soul withdrew his scrutinizing gaze and said, "I can sense that your strength hasn't improved much recently."
Uncle Xu dressed strangely, even wearing a trench coat in the sweltering heat, giving off a kind of brooding yet undeniably composed vibe.
If you don't take action, you're just like an ordinary person, unaware of what's going on.
Once they start fighting, they become cold and ruthless, keeping strangers at bay, and even seem like a completely different person.
Although it had been a long time since he had sparred with Uncle Xu, the other party had also concealed his aura.
But how could Tiger Soul not know Uncle Xu?
Tiger Soul had sensed something when he met Uncle Xu a few days ago, but he didn't have time to ask.
After all, the young master's matter is more important; we can ask that question another time.
Now is the time to ask.
"Did you still notice?"
Uncle Xu smiled and didn't seem to care too much.
"Since you've been away lately, I haven't had anyone to practice with, and with nothing else to do, it's just been like this."
When Tiger Soul was still in the underground boxing ring, Uncle Xu had sparring partners to improve his skills. Now that Tiger Soul is gone, the remaining people can't enjoy themselves at all.
It's not that they're too weak, but rather that they lack the extremely intense sense of oppression that Tiger Soul possesses.
Tiger Soul is the kind of person who takes strength very seriously.
Even in ordinary competitions, they go all out, always having the illusion of a life-or-death struggle.
This kind of oppressive feeling, as if one were on the verge of life and death, is the kind of contest that Uncle Xu wants.
Only in this way can one unleash their potential and enhance their strength.
Unfortunately, Tiger Soul left and followed Luo Chen.
Now that I've come all the way to Yan Province, I've lost that feeling, and it's very difficult for me to improve.
Uncle Xu didn't want to use pills to improve his strength.
Such behavior is indeed fast, but it lacks refinement and always feels like it has an unstable foundation.
Moreover, since Ye Lin was arrested, Ningcheng has returned to its former tranquility.
Not only is the crime rate frighteningly low, but there hasn't been a single unexpected incident.
Everyone lived in peace.
It would be a miracle if one's strength could improve.
This isn't a novel; strength doesn't just increase casually.
Such cheating behavior does not exist in reality.
Only by taking steady and solid steps can we improve our strength.
"That would be such a waste."
Tiger Soul's tone was somewhat smug; Uncle Xu should know just how strong he is now.
If they were to fight again, Uncle Xu would not be his match.
Uncle Xu curled his lip.
He wouldn't feel jealous of the smug look on Tiger Soul's face.
So what if one's hidden strength is perfected?
Is it really that bad for him to be at the peak of internal energy?
Isn't it just because he's been following Luo Chen that his strength has improved even faster than before?
What's so great about that?
If it were me, I could do it too!
That's why he won't be jealous.
Lemon juice or something similar would suit him better.
[...]
"Is she crazy? This woman is insane!"
"What did I do to offend her!"
Before they even reached the office door, Luo Chen's slightly flustered figure came into their sight.
This situation puzzled Tiger and Soul.
"Young Master Luo, what happened?"
Uncle Xu asked curiously.
"I don't know what happened either."
No one knows what suddenly made Qin Xiyao go crazy; she was talking normally, and then suddenly she went berserk.
[Could it be because it only happens a few days a month?]
"You stinky Luo Chen!"
Upon hearing Qin Junyao's roar, Luo Chen was immediately startled.
At the same time, a ballpoint pen flew by.
"..."
Hu Po and Uncle Xu were somewhat confused, not knowing what had happened.
However, it's also clear that it's best for the two of them not to get involved in such matters.
[...]
The coffee shop downstairs.
Hu Po and Uncle Xu sat there quietly, looking at Luo Chen, who still seemed somewhat confused and whose face had darkened.
I don't know how to start a conversation.
Luo Chen couldn't quite understand what was going on with Qin Xiyao.
Upon careful consideration, I couldn't find anything wrong with what he said earlier.
He actually started going crazy.
Is there anything wrong with letting her take charge of things in this circle?
I don't really understand it myself.
The dog system didn't reward him for this either.
He scratched his head.
Luo Chen was too lazy to think about it anymore.
"Speaking of which, Lao Xu, I didn't have time to ask you before, but are you sure there are no problems with you coming all the way to Yan Province?"
Previously, Luo Chen hadn't had time to ask Uncle Xu why he had come to Yan Province, and he hadn't bothered to find out.
At that time, I was focused on Lu Wanqing's affairs, so I wasn't too surprised by Uncle Xu's appearance and invitation.
Now that the matter has been resolved, naturally I want to know.
It's important to understand that Uncle Xu is Ling Qingyi's shadow.
The person in charge of protecting the other party's safety is here; there must be a reason why Uncle Xu has come here.
"Young Master Luo, Miss sent me."
Uncle Xu didn't hide anything and talked about what Ling Qingyi had told him.
“Young Master Luo, you’ve never been to Yan Province before, so you’re not familiar with this place.”
"And they are not familiar with you, Young Master Luo..."
Uncle Xu refers to the powerful and influential figures in Yan Province.
"Although you, Young Master Luo, are of noble status, to put it bluntly, in the eyes of Yan Province, Ningcheng is just a small place."
“They don’t know much about it. In their minds, Ningcheng has always been a second-rate place. From childhood, they have been taught that apart from the local Yan Province, all other places are rural areas. No matter how powerful or influential they are in other places, they are nothing in Yan Province.”
"Besides, Young Master Luo, you don't have much influence here."
"Miss was worried that you, Young Master Luo, would be bullied here, so she arranged for me to come and see if there was anything I could help with."
Luo Chen understood what Uncle Xu was saying.
Ling Qingyi was worried about him, which is why she sent Uncle Xu here.
Luo Chen couldn't help but smile at this gesture.
Although Ling Qingyi is rather aloof, she always looks at everyone with a cold and arrogant attitude.
Sometimes I feel that she is a cold person and not interested in anything.
If someone offends her, she will be ruthless, decisive, and cold-blooded.
As the queen of the underworld, she has to deal with far too many things and people.
Gentleness and kindness were never visible on her face.
