“Okay, I’ll remove it for you, but you need to cooperate. Your qi must follow the direction of my chi.” Eventually, Ye Mo decided to help her for two reasons: he wanted to see the power of this restriction and understand the cultivation methods of the inner hidden sects. Removing the restriction required Luo Fei to cooperate using her qi, allowing him to learn her cultivation method.
Luo Fei hesitated, then agreed, understanding the implications. But now, what secrets did she have left from Ye Mo? He knew everything about her, even things she dared not think about. Besides, refusing meant death.
Ye Mo disregarded Luo Fei’s thoughts. He grabbed her wrist and used his chi to remove the restriction. Luo Fei followed with her qi.
One hour later, Ye Mo carefully enveloped the hidden qi within her body and pulled it out. Luo Fei felt the foreign qi, her face paling with fear. Unlike Ye Mo, whose chi far surpassed hers, if this qi went berserk, she would be obliterated.
“Such a heartless man,” Luo Fei thought of Qi Yulin, who hadn’t cared if she lived or died, intending to abandon her after using her.
As if sensing Ye Mo’s chi, the qi inside Luo Fei rustled. Ye Mo forcefully expelled it.
Luo Fei felt a searing pain in her dantian before she even had time to react, immediately spitting blood. Ye Mo enveloped the qi and condensed his chi fire to burn it away. Even if the qi dissipated, its owner wouldn't know it was forcibly removed; Ye Mo lacked the time to fight them, so caution was necessary.
Rumble—The qi roared under Ye Mo’s chi fire. Ye Mo retreated several meters; his former position was now a huge ditch.
Luo Fei stared at the ditch in shock. Had that qi exploded inside her…? She looked gratefully at Ye Mo, envying her younger martial sister. Why was her life so much better? Even her man was infinitely superior.
Envy? Luo Fei quickly dismissed the thought. Ye Mo’s action, besides her information about the inner hidden sects, was primarily due to her sister. She should thank Luo Xuan, not envy her.
Ye Mo turned to Luo Fei. “Luo Fei, you’re fine now. Find a secluded place and hide. The inner hidden sects won’t find you.”
Luo Fei hesitated. “I don’t know where to go. Though I haven’t been out long, I’m knowledgeable about herbs. If you agree, I can join your Luo Yue Corporation. Few know herbs better than I do.”
Ye Mo was moved. “She’s from the inner hidden sects and the ancient martial arts system—far beyond Xu Ping. Her help would be invaluable.”
Ye Mo wasn’t afraid. He’d agreed, and wouldn’t worry about the inner hidden sects’ revenge. The three years were almost up, and even if not, he wouldn’t fear them. Moreover, he had a feud with Tai Yi.
“Okay, come to Luo Yue Corporation with me. Our company holds a conference in Beijing in two days. You can come. Let’s go to Yu state first. It’s almost dawn; let’s not stay here.”
Luo Fei rejoiced. Without Ye Mo’s agreement, she’d be lost. She lacked survival skills; surviving, let alone earning enough for the beauty pill, would be incredibly difficult.
…
Mao Yuan Building, Room 808. Fei Yu Corporation CEO Ning Qingxue’s office. It was Monday. Normally, a weekly planning meeting would occur, but today, Qingxue hadn’t scheduled one, instead dozing in her seat.
Li Mumei approached with data, looking at Ning Qingxue thoughtfully. “Qingxue, this is the data I compiled last night for the conference. Review it and see if anything needs adding.”
Ning Qingxue rubbed her forehead, ignoring Li Mumei. “Was the nightclub we saw last night Yuan Ge World?”
Li Mumei nodded. “Yes, what’s wrong, Qingxue?” She didn’t think Ning Qingxue had changed her mind about Ye Mo. Ning Qingxue had stated Ye Mo’s actions were none of her concern.
Ning Qingxue frowned. “I went by there this morning; it’s under lockdown. Check what happened.”
Li Mumei was shocked. She doubted Ning Qingxue accidentally passed by, as it wasn’t on her usual route. This was intentional. Since Qingxue claimed indifference to Ye Mo, why go there? Clearly, she wanted information on Ye Mo. Had she remembered something?
“Qingxue, did you remember something?” Li Mumei asked.
Ning Qingxue shook her head. “No, I just heard there was a murder case there.”
Li Mumei understood. Even if the nightclub had exploded, Ning Qingxue wouldn’t care. Yet, she was contemplative, clearly wondering if the murder was related to Ye Mo.
“Okay, I’ll have someone ask.” Li Mumei realized Ning Qingxue wasn’t as indifferent as she claimed. Did she really not care about last night?
“Mumei…” Ning Qingxue seemed to want to ask something, then shook her head. “Nothing, go ask. I’ll review the data.”
Ning Qingxue picked up the data, but her eyes were unfocused, turning pages haphazardly.
Li Mumei, seeing Ning Qingxue’s absentmindedness, sighed and left. She told the secretary, “Cancel this week’s meeting. I’ll notify you when rescheduled.”
Long after Li Mumei left, Ning Qingxue took out a necklace, examining it. “Is he really connected to this necklace? How could that be? Master Wu Guang said this necklace was related to a senior he knew, and Master Wu Guang was in his seventies. His senior would be over a hundred…”
Knock knock. Secretary Xiao Yan hesitantly approached.
“What is it, Xiao Yan?” Ning Qingxue asked.
Xiao Yan said cautiously, “The Ti Feng Corporation of Yu state arrived. Manager Tang believes they’re here to cancel the agreement. He’s negotiating.”
“Ti Feng Corporation? We just signed an agreement! Why cancel?” Ning Qingxue realized she’d asked the wrong person. “I understand, you can go.”
As Ning Qingxue prepared to negotiate, Manager Tang, a former employee of Ning Zhongfei, entered.
“CEO Ning,” Tang Lianshui said, his face full of guilt.
