Qinghe steadied herself and searched for Qin Feng's whereabouts with a serious expression.
As a result, Qin Feng was standing right behind her. When she turned around, Qin Feng followed, always staying in a blind spot behind her.
About a minute later, a hint of annoyance appeared on Qinghe's cold, pretty face, and she shouted.
Are you playing me for a fool?
"How could I possibly catch you if you keep hiding like this?"
Qin Feng sighed helplessly. "With your perception, if you encounter an enemy of the same level in the future, you probably won't even know how you died."
Qinghe's expression changed drastically. She subconsciously turned around and was startled when she saw Qin Feng standing a meter away from her.
"You...when did you get behind me?"
Qin Feng was speechless. "I've been behind you for almost a minute, and you didn't even notice?"
"It seems you're just a pretty face in Longyuan, all looks and no substance!"
Qinghe was furious. She was at the peak of the Profound Realm before, so how did she become a pretty but useless vase?
"I'm not just a pretty face; it's because you're so powerful that you can completely conceal your aura, so it's normal that I can't detect you."
"Still being stubborn?" Qin Feng curled his lip. "I'm doing this for your own good, that's why I spoke a little harshly."
"Think about it carefully. I followed you around for almost a minute. Even if you completely concealed your presence, you should have noticed, right?"
"Didn't you ever consider that I might be behind you?"
"All you do is stupidly spin around in place?"
Qinghe was still unconvinced. "That's because I was physically and mentally exhausted from carrying that huge rock up the mountain, and my mental state was extremely poor."
Qin Feng frowned slightly. "You only know how to make excuses for your failures. I guess I misjudged you!"
"Go back to where you came from, I don't need an assistant like you!"
Qinghe frowned slightly and said reluctantly, "I know I was wrong, please don't send me away!"
Seeing Qinghe's reluctant expression, Qin Feng chuckled. "What did you do wrong?"
"I...I..."
Qinghe stammered for a while before finally managing to say, "Anyway, I know I was wrong!"
Qin Feng's face immediately darkened. "How come I didn't realize before that your head was full of tofu dregs?"
"Fine, you can leave now!"
Qinghe frowned slightly. If this had happened before yesterday, she would have left without saying a word.
But now that she knows that following Qin Feng will take her further on her martial arts path, she is extremely unwilling to leave.
She hesitated for a moment, then said sincerely, "Commander Qin, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have made excuses for my incompetence!"
"A person who does not face his or her own shortcomings can never become a true strong person."
"I assure you, from now on I will never make excuses for my incompetence again."
Qin Feng didn't know if Qing He had truly realized her mistake, but her current attitude was already quite good.
"Alright, I hope you remember what you said."
"Next, I will use my peak Earth Realm strength. If you cannot touch me within ten minutes, I will give you targeted special training!"
Qinghe nodded, then unexpectedly reached out with her right hand to grab Qin Feng.
"Trying to play these tricks on me?"
Qin Feng easily dodged Qing He's surprise attack, his face full of mockery. "Trying to ambush me? You're still too green."
Qinghe didn't reply, but immediately lunged at Qin Feng. She refused to believe that she wouldn't even be able to touch the hem of Qin Feng's clothes within ten minutes.
Ten minutes later.
Qinghe collapsed from exhaustion, lying on the ground panting heavily, still unable to touch Qin Feng even slightly.
It wasn't that Qin Feng was too fast, but rather that his movements were so agile, like a ghost.
If she were an enemy, she would probably have been killed by Qin Feng a thousand times over.
Qin Feng looked at Qing He and said, "After you've rested, let's go swimming until we're completely exhausted."
"Tonight, find Yan Xiang to spar with you. Remember to suppress your cultivation level to the peak of the Profound Realm."
"I'll give you five days. If you still can't meet me within ten minutes after five days, I will stop your special training."
Before Qinghe could speak, Qin Feng took out the Dragon Cloud Sword and flew down the mountain on his sword.
Qinghe murmured to herself with a determined expression, "I will definitely meet you in five days."
...
Qin Feng had just woken up after taking a nap back in his tent when a squad leader on duty came to inform him that Cao Yuanliang, the governor of Binhai, was looking for him and was waiting outside the camp.
Qin Feng guessed that Cao Yuanliang must have come about the Azure Dragon Guard's move into the old city.
As the governor of Binhai, it was clearly inappropriate for Cao Yuanliang to allow 30,000 Qinglong Guards to enter the old city without his prior notice.
To put it bluntly, Qin Feng did not give Cao Yuanliang any face at all.
Qin Feng asked the squad leader to bring Cao Yuanliang to him.
About ten minutes later, the squad leader led Cao Yuanliang into the tent.
The squad leader greeted Qin Feng and then left.
Cao Yuanliang glanced at Qin Feng and sighed helplessly. "Young friend Qin, isn't it a bit excessive of you to mobilize the Azure Dragon Guard to Binhai?"
Qin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. "Are you here to interrogate me?"
Cao Yuanliang's expression changed slightly, and he quickly denied it. "Absolutely not!"
"I just think you should have given me a heads-up beforehand, so I wouldn't be in this passive situation now."
"To be honest, I didn't want to come, but the pressure was a bit too much."
"Lu Yutong from Longyin Group came to me and accused you of misappropriating Longyin Group's assets."
“Besides Lu Yutong, Ye Zijun from the Ye family, Song Qingyun from the Song family, and Jiang Tiansheng from the Jiang family also came to me. They all put pressure on me to make sure that the Qinglong Guards withdraw from Binhai.”
"Moreover, this old town project is crucial for the development of Binhai over the next ten years, and we cannot afford any problems!"
"If the Azure Dragon Guard continues to be stationed here, it will likely have a significant impact on this project."
"Besides, if things escalate, it will be bad for Binhai's development, and it will be bad for you and me as well."
Qin Feng looked at Cao Yuanliang with a half-smile and asked, "With those troublemakers around, do you think the project can continue?"
"Didn't you consider what might happen if the project fell through halfway through, causing it to fail?"
"Or do you simply not know that there is an ancient tomb beneath the old city?"
"I wonder how many forces are watching?"
"If you knew why this project was put up for auction in the first place?"
"May I suspect you have ulterior motives?"
Cao Yuanliang's expression was rather grim. "The matter of the ancient tomb is just hearsay; it can't be taken seriously at all!"
"Moreover, the renovation of the old town has nothing to do with whether there are ancient tombs or not, and I believe no one would dare to damage this project."
Do you even believe what you're saying?
Qin Feng sneered. "If no one dares to sabotage it, then tell me why Mu Zhengfeng's project was halted more than twenty years ago?"
