Chapter 115: Wang Laoguai

Xu Mansion, Star Gazing Pavilion.

Xu Yanran leaned against Qin Jiang's side, looking at the night sky.

The night sky tonight appeared somewhat hazy, with no starlight, only a blurred moon.

"Brother Qin, time passes so quickly," Xu Yanran laughed.

She still remembered when she first met Qin Jiang, she had been dazed and foolish, just like an idiot.

"Indeed, in the blink of an eye, we have arrived at today."

Qin Jiang felt a slight sense of emotion. He still remembered when he first arrived in this world, feeling lost, panicked, and wanting to survive.

Later, he joined the Red Tiger Gang and became the Head of Hall. At that time, surviving was no longer a difficult matter for him.

Afterward, the Weird Siege occurred, and at that time, he finally felt the pressure of death again.

Looking back now, he had truly experienced so much without even realizing it.

"By the way, Yanran, I brought a gift for you."

Saying this, he took a fruit from his bosom; it was none other than the Blood Bodhi.

"This is... Blood Bodhi?!" Xu Yanran exclaimed.

This was a divine object that only existed in records! Just one was enough to push a martial artist in the Divine Intent Realm into the Secret Martial Realm!

And she had only recently mastered the Black Evil Technique. Did Brother Qin go looking for this specifically after finding out? Her eyes were excited, even containing a few tears.

"Why are you like this? Eat it quickly, I will protect you."

A moment later, Xu Yanran opened her eyes, her whole body radiating a dense Black Evil Qi, possessing quite a bit of the temperament of a female evil god.

She looked at her hands in pleasant surprise. The records were indeed correct! Although her Black Evil Technique stopped at the Grandmaster Realm, her physical body was no less than that of a secret martial artist who had undergone body refining with secret martial source power! Qin Jiang looked at Xu Yanran with a smile, then suddenly stiffened.

*Hiss~ Yanran practices the Black Evil Technique. Should I pass the Black Evil Burning Heaven Demon Canon to her? *

*No, no, although the Black Evil Burning Heaven Demon Canon is only an ordinary secret martial art, its power is not much worse than ordinary advanced secret martial arts. *

*With Yanran's physical body, I fear it would be difficult to bear. *

*If not, should I pass the Black Fiend Demon Statue Art to Yanran? *

After pondering for a moment, he always felt something was not quite right.

*Yanran... Black Fiend Demon Statue Art... * A female demon dragon figure burning with black demon fire appeared in his mind.

*Hiss~* "Yanran, in a few days, I will take you to the Copper Bell Sect to learn the Green Fire Copper Furnace Art, shall I?" he said, his speaking speed faster than usual.

"Alright, secret martial arts, I have long wanted to learn them!" Xu Yanran laughed, her expression carrying a bit of boldness, her spirit soaring.

It reminded Qin Jiang of that day in the fields: *'Young Master, Yanran is no weakling!'*

Several days later, at the Cloud Crane Courtyard, Qin Jiang, who was sitting in the pavilion, was lying on Xu Yanran's lap when he suddenly opened his eyes.

"What is wrong, Brother Qin? Is the massage uncomfortable?" Xu Yanran asked, green flames swirling on her fingertips as she pressed on Qin Jiang's temples.

Qin Jiang stood up and laughed. "No, it is just that the fish has taken the bait. I am going out for a while; don't wait for me for dinner."

With that, his figure instantly disappeared. Xu Yanran smiled, shook her head, and stood up to tidy the pavilion.

Fengyi Pavilion, Sixth Floor, Jia Character Room.

Inside the room, a man wearing a jade mask sat at the table, playing with a pair of jade beads the size of eggs. On his mask was an ancient character, 'Nine'.

Kneeling before him were two people, none other than the siblings Li Xunan and Li Miaoyan, whom Qin Jiang had let go that day.

"So you are saying, he did not make things difficult for you?" Yu Jiu spoke, his voice sounding like old tree bark rubbing against a metal sheet, harsh and unpleasant.

"Yes, yes, yes, that Lord Green Fire did not make things difficult for us and let us out."

Saying this, Li Miaoyan glanced at her older brother, who wished he could stuff his head into the floorboards.

"Hmph, then you siblings' luck is truly quite good," Yu Jiu said. Li Xunan swallowed his saliva, his head hanging even lower. "Yes, my lord, my sister and I have always had good luck."

Yu Jiu laughed upon hearing this. "Is that so? With such good luck, did you ever think you would die at my hands today?"

Li Xunan's body trembled upon hearing this, and he stood up directly. "My lord! What is the meaning of this?! My sister and I have been loyal to the Golden Jade Pavilion!"

Yu Jiu's laughter continued. "I know, that is why I need you to make a small sacrifice. Don't be afraid, I will be quick."

*Loyal? How ridiculous! Even Jin Qi couldn't come out after entering that dungeon. If you two hadn't already betrayed us, how could you have had the chance to walk out of there! You really take me for a fool, actually believing your luck is good?! * He suddenly raised his hand, a powerful force contained within his palm.

If this strike were to land, let alone Divine Intent martial artists like the Li siblings, even a secret martial artist who had just mastered secret martial arts would be turned into dust on the spot! The Li siblings widened their eyes, their faces showing terror. No matter what, they had never expected Yu Jiu to strike so decisively!

*Hum~* Just as Yu Jiu's palm force was about to land, a trembling sound suddenly rang out, followed by the surroundings seeming to enter slow motion.

*Whoosh~* The wooden door swung open, and a clear breeze blew in.

The next moment, Qin Jiang's figure appeared behind Yu Jiu, one hand resting on his shoulder.

"Finally found you."

"Bang!"

The wooden door closed automatically. The Li siblings' bodies trembled slightly.

"You, who are you!" Yu Jiu emitted a trembling sound. He was horrified to discover that he could no longer control his own body! How could this be! Even Yu San could not do this! He wanted to look back, but other than his eyeballs, he couldn't move a single bit.

Qin Jiang ignored him and waved his hand at Li Xunan and Li Miaoyan. "Go sit to the side, don't kneel here."

After saying this, he walked in front of Yu Jiu and removed Yu Jiu's mask, revealing the face of a young man.

"Speak, where is my older sister?"

"What are you talking about, I..."

"Slap!"

Qin Jiang slapped Yu Jiu across the face. "Change your voice, it's unpleasant to listen to."

"You! You are bullying—"

"Slap!"

"You!"

"Slap!"

"Alright! I understand!" Yu Jiu's voice returned to normal.

Qin Jiang nodded with a smile. The reason he did this was not just because the voice was unpleasant to listen to, but because this was actually a small technique to break down the opponent's psychological defenses.

Sure enough, after a few slaps, Yu Jiu's eyes were now a bit clearer.

"Speak, where is my older sister?" he asked.

"Who is your older sister?" Yu Jiu asked tentatively. He truly did not know who this guy's older sister was.

"Qin Hong, I think you should know," Qin Jiang said.

Yu Jiu glanced resentfully at Qin Jiang's palm, which was flickering with black fire, his throat rolling.

"K-know, but I am not very clear about her whereabouts either," he said.

"Hm?" Qin Jiang raised his right hand slightly.

"Don't, I am truly not lying to you. After I picked up the person that day, I had already met up with Yu San, but then Wang Laoguai of the Wang family suddenly appeared and beat back both me and Yu San," Yu Jiu said.

"Wang Laoguai?"

"He is the current Family Head of the Wang family, Wang Zizai."
