You’re definitely infatuated with that Li Zixuan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia He was deeply distressed. He looked at the street sign with an expression of regret. \"If I’d known that woman would bewitch you like this, I never would have gotten you that information about her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he seemed to remember something. He suddenly pulled out his phone and urged Qin Yang, \"Come on, Old Qin, we’re going somewhere!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yang asked in confusion, wondering why the guy had suddenly changed his tune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where else? Platinum Han, of course!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his reaction, Xia He said indignantly, pulling out his phone to make a reservation. \"There are plenty of fish in the sea! Bro, today I’m taking you out to see the world!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yang: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, don’t be so stubborn. Just come with me quietly. I’ll book a good one for you right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia He pressed the call button on his phone and began tapping the screen to make a reservation for Qin Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what, he had to drag Qin Yang to Platinum Han this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, if he let Qin Yang continue this obsession with Li Zixuan, the consequences would be unimaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Qin Yang, it would definitely not end well...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, a heaven-sent beauty like Li Zixuan was one in a hundred, a figure who drew everyone’s attention. Even at Jianghai Martial Arts Academy, she had countless pursuers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, the gap between Qin Yang and Li Zixuan was as vast as a chasm between heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was the difference between Qin Yang throwing himself at her and a moth flying into a flame?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he ended up angering Li Zixuan, or if her other pursuers found out, the consequences would be disastrous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Xia He connected the call to Platinum Han. He sized up Qin Yang beside him, sighing inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How did Old Qin turn into this mess?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his memories, Qin Yang had always been a quiet, reserved type—the kind who never said much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This love-sickness is seriously toxic!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once-quiet guy had become possessed over Li Zixuan, and it had only been a few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And as his good brother, how could I just abandon him?!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Qin, don’t worry. Your brother will definitely save you this time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia He was filled with righteous indignation. Looking at Qin Yang’s harmless, handsome face only strengthened his resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Qin Yang looked at Xia He, completely baffled. He had no idea what the other guy was up to, but the look in his eyes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...it was like he was resolutely sacrificing himself for some great cause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the call on Xia He’s phone connected. A woman’s soft voice came through, backed by the decadent sounds of music and laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello? Little Hong? It’s Xiaoxia... Right, the usual package—no, wait, bah! I have a friend... No, that friend isn’t me... My buddy is coming over...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Xia He recalled that Qin Yang’s preference seemed to be Li Zixuan’s type, so he hurriedly began describing her appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just getting into it when he suddenly realized Qin Yang hadn’t said a word. He couldn’t help but turn to look. \"What do you think of... Huh? Where’d he go?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did he realize the spot beside him was completely empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At some point, Qin Yang had already slipped away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was left alone, haggling on the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"??? Where’s Old Qin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia He froze for a moment, looking around blankly, at a loss for what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He left without making a sound. It’s like I’ve seen a ghost...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Xiaoxia? Your package for two has been booked. When are you coming?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice on the phone urged him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia He felt his head go numb. Qin Yang had left right after he’d made the reservation. If he canceled now, he’d lose VIP points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I was looking forward to a night of entertainment, a true display of brotherly camaraderie with Old Qin.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Two dragons playing with a pearl, wouldn’t that have been magnificent?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But now... I’ll have to face the horde all by myself!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, Old Qin, you’re a lost cause!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You didn’t listen to your Brother Xia, and now you’ll pay the price! Old Qin, you’ll regret this sooner or later!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia He fumed as he answered the phone, steeling himself and continuing, \"I’ll be right over. You just wait there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After quietly slipping away from Xia He, Qin Yang followed his previous route and arrived near Jianghai Martial Arts Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Students were streaming in and out of the school gates. Qin Yang concealed his presence and moved to the vantage point he had scouted earlier to continue his observation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, he saw Li Zixuan walk out from the school gates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Huh, that’s not the way to the Martial Arts Hall.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yang noticed that after leaving, Li Zixuan got into a car and headed directly for the suburbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Where is she going?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yang was a little puzzled, but seeing a development, he didn’t hesitate. He hailed a cab and had it follow her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two cars drove unhurriedly down the evening roads. It was a bit congested during rush hour, but Qin Yang wasn’t in a hurry and followed patiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some distance, the destination grew closer, and the area became more sparsely populated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yang looked ahead and suddenly found the surrounding scenery a bit familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green mountains rose and fell like ocean waves, and the calls of migrating birds returning to their nests echoed through the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away stood a strangely shaped mountain. It was majestic and towering, but its peak was as smooth as a mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young man, are you a tourist here to check out the spot, or a student from the academy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver held the steering wheel, gazing at the distant green mountain. \"If you’re not a student from the Martial Arts Academy, Broken Peak Mountain is hard to get into.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not going into the mountain. I just have some business to take care of.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yang dodged the question and made something up. \"What’s the story with this mountain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t know? It was all over the news a while ago. Some immortal came and cleaved this mountain in two... Tsk tsk, how awesome is that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver couldn’t help but sigh. \"The mountain’s sealed off now. I heard it’s so those students can comprehend some Sword Intent. Ordinary folks like us can’t even get close.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Qin Yang was suddenly at a loss for words, and then he chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Well, I’ll be. I just casually sliced it back then, and now the academy’s treating it like some kind of treasure.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Wait a minute...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Li Zixuan is heading towards this peak now... Don’t tell me she’s going to comprehend Sword Intent?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Qin Yang was thinking this, Li Zixuan, who was up ahead, did indeed stop her car. She then got out and immediately used a Body Technique to head into the mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the auras of the Postnatal Experts around her all remained outside the mountain, no longer following.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, comprehending Sword Intent was a major affair that required solitude. No outsiders could be allowed to observe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Excellent. I’ve finally got you alone!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that all the Postnatal Experts were outside the mountain, it was the perfect moment, with Li Zixuan isolated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This opportunity can’t be missed!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yang got out of the car and immediately executed the Seven-Star Dragon Roaming Step, easily avoiding the lookouts outside the mountain as he vanished into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He vaguely noticed a hint of excited, secret joy on Li Zixuan’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’For her to be so obsessed with entering the mountain that she’d even skip the Martial Arts Hall...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Could it be...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...that this girl is actually my fan?’\u003C\u002Fp>",1396,"2026-05-29T11:34:25.727Z","2026-06-01T04:29:31.151Z",1,"novelbin.me","55b14e3ffa71dea9e18c4e86c74b22fcac73d687accdb0be6662199ee093e7a2","i-stepped-on-a-bug-and-the-system-says-i-slayed--chapter-23","i-stepped-on-a-bug-and-the-system-says-i-slayed--chapter-21",271,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-stepped-on-a-bug-and-the-system-says-i-slayed--cover.jpg"]
