Chapter 398: Qin Muyin Over the Edge? Reverse-Push on Chen Ye

Hearing Chen Ye’s words—

Hu Zhong immediately laughed. "Hahaha, Brother Chen, don’t believe those absurd rumors. Some even say that the bald guy can one-shot his past self each day! At that kind of level, you’d need at least double the strength to do that."

"Wouldn’t that mean his power doubles every day? In less than a month, the entire universe wouldn’t be able to contain such a being."

Han Li smiled beside him and nodded.

But compared to Hu Zhong, he was more composed. He said, "Chen Ye, you don’t need to worry too much about Adam. His transformation into Super Saiyan 2 is a recent development."

"In the Main God Space, the stronger the upgrade, the greater the price. I heard Adam had to squeeze every last bit of strength out of his teammates to reach that stage. He won’t be able to push forward again anytime soon."

"How about this—focus on improving your strength. If you really hit a bottleneck, we’ll come up with a plan then, alright?"

This was a safe and steady suggestion. Chen Ye had no reason to object and nodded in agreement.

"Then it’s settled."

At that moment, Han Li suddenly stood up and smiled. "You and Miss Qin reunited in a foreign world—surely you have much to talk about. I won’t interrupt."

As he spoke, Han Li stepped out of the cabin.

Hu Zhong, being tactful, followed closely and also left.

In the blink of an eye—

Only Qin Muyin and Chen Ye remained inside.

When Chen Ye had been discussing Adam with Han Li earlier, Qin Muyin had stayed silent. She didn’t understand the topic, so she didn’t speak recklessly.

Now, Qin Muyin finally moved.

A soft green glow radiated from her body. She used psychokinesis to form a thick barrier around the cabin before turning to look at Chen Ye.

And then—

Her very first sentence was:

"Chen Ye, why do you look so much older?"

Chen Ye: "..."

"This time, I crossed over with my soul and arrived in this world. This body has the same name and appearance as mine, and this world is very similar to Blue Star—just without the monster invasions..."

Chen Ye gave a brief explanation of Earth, then asked, "Sister Qin, how did you end up meeting Director Han?"

Qin Muyin answered honestly, "I entered a secret realm and tried to reach a target, but someone else beat me to it."

"With no other choice, I followed the secret realm’s direction to the next area—and that’s where I met the director you mentioned."

Her tone then became serious. "Chen Ye, this Director Han is terrifyingly strong. I couldn’t even last one move against him. You need to be careful around him."

Chen Ye would’ve been cautious regardless. What he cared about now was the key information Qin Muyin had just revealed.

"Sister Qin, based on what you said... has it only been a few days since you entered the secret realm?"

Qin Muyin thought for a moment and replied, "Counting both realms, I’d say no more than ten days. Why?"

Chen Ye was surprised. "I’ve been in this world for almost two years."

He knew time flowed differently across worlds.

But for her to experience ten days while he lived nearly two years—that was a massive discrepancy.

Qin Muyin was equally shocked.

"You’ve been here for nearly two years? Then what about your strength?"

"...Just a few days ago, I sparred with Director Han. I won."

Upon hearing that—

Qin Muyin smiled. "That’s just like you!"

Chen Ye grinned. "Don’t worry, Sister Qin. With me here, you’re not only safe—there’s a good chance you’ll come out way ahead."

He thought she’d press for more details.

But unexpectedly, Qin Muyin suddenly lowered her head and asked in a strange tone, "Chen Ye... why are you so good to me?"

Chen Ye: "???"

"Sister Qin, haven’t we always looked out for each other?"

Qin Muyin raised her head. Her eyes glistened. "Chen Ye, I owe you far too much..."

Chen Ye: "..."

Even he, a bit dense at times, could tell that something was off with Qin Muyin tonight.

As he struggled to figure out how to respond—

Qin Muyin suddenly leaned in and pressed her lips to his without warning...

With Chen Ye’s current power, there was no way he couldn’t dodge her "surprise attack."

But in the end—he got forcibly kissed by Qin Muyin.

When she leaned in, lips pursed, his brain momentarily froze. He forgot to give the order to move.

But why would someone like Qin Muyin, always rational and composed, act like this now?

The answer lay with Han Li!

The director had a mischievous streak. In front of Qin Muyin, he fabricated a tale that Chen Ye had risked life and death to save her.

And Qin Muyin... believed him completely.

Though she was already a mature woman in her thirties, she had never been in a relationship.

Ever since she synchronized with her S2-rank talent, her mind had been focused entirely on Blue Star and Xia Nation.

It would be a lie to say she never thought about romance. But with her strength rising so fast, there were few men who could catch her eye.

So when Han Li told her that Chen Ye had nearly died to save her, she didn’t think critically about the gaps in the story.

She was moved—completely.

And once she found herself alone with Chen Ye... her emotions overwhelmed her.

She lost control!!

...

It was quite a while before—

Chen Ye finally stepped out of the cabin, his expression still a little conflicted and awkward.

On one hand, he felt guilty toward his girlfriend, Tang Zichen.

On the other hand, sneaking around with an older beauty like Qin Muyin... was ridiculously thrilling.

"Brother Chen, done chatting?"

Hu Zhong asked with a knowing grin.

While Chen Ye and Qin Muyin had been alone, Han Li and Hu Zhong didn’t go far—they’d been sitting in a nearby pavilion.

Chen Ye nodded, then turned to Han Li and said, "Thank you, Director, for going easy on my sister Qin."

Han Li waved it off and smiled. "We’re all family here—no need for thanks. By the way, what do you think about the suggestion I mentioned earlier?"

Chen Ye knew he meant helping out in the xianxia instance to take down a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator and seize the Red Spirit Fruit.

"Director, you’re doing this for Sister Qin’s sake. Of course I’ll give it my full support!" Chen Ye declared.

"Good!"

Han Li laughed and added, "The guy I mentioned is actually a fraud—he boosted his power with secret medicines. His true combat strength is only around mid-stage Nascent Soul. With you involved, it’ll be a clean sweep."

Chen Ye nodded, then suggested, "Director, no time like the present. Why don’t we go now?"

Han Li was momentarily stunned by the suggestion, then quickly agreed.

"Alright!"

After that—

The three of them returned to the log cabin.

They still needed to send Qin Muyin into the Xianxia world.

When the three entered, Qin Muyin’s expression had already returned to normal.

Han Li formed hand seals, and a golden teleportation array lit up on the cabin floor.

"Step onto the array," Han Li instructed.

Everyone complied and stood within the circle.

In the next instant—

All of them vanished from the cabin.

...

Chen Ye felt space twist around him as the scene changed.

They were now inside a pitch-black room. Only a single oil lamp glowed faintly, casting dim light.

Before he could ask, Han Li explained, "This is a secret chamber within my sect. No one can enter without my permission. The door ahead leads to the main hall—we’ll use the back exit instead."

Chen Ye and the others followed Han Li toward the rear.

After passing through a long tunnel, they arrived at the mountainside.

Time in this world seemed to run opposite to Earth’s. While the capital back on Earth was in nighttime, here it was early morning.

As Han Li summoned his flying sword, he said, "This time, Chen Ye and I will go handle the mission. Old Hu, stay and watch over the sect in case someone tries anything. As for Miss Qin, it’s best she remain here too."

He said this for Qin Muyin’s own good.

With her current strength—barely in the Core Formation stage—she couldn’t participate in a battle involving Nascent Soul-level cultivators.

If she came along, she’d only be a liability.

Qin Muyin was reasonable and nodded in agreement, choosing to stay.

"Then, Chen Ye, let’s go! The sooner we finish, the sooner we return," Han Li said.

Chen Ye nodded and jumped onto Han Li’s flying sword.

Though he could fly—faster, even—he didn’t know the route.

This wasn’t the time to show off.

The next second—

Han Li soared into the sky with Chen Ye, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

After Han Li left, Hu Zhong looked toward Qin Muyin and couldn’t help but sigh in admiration. "To have such a confidante... Brother Chen is truly blessed!"

That one comment immediately turned Qin Muyin’s cheeks red...

You big-eyebrowed loudmouth—if you know how to speak, keep talking!

Hu Zhong really did keep talking—but not in the way Qin Muyin wanted.

"I heard you’re one of Blue Star’s top experts. If you’re bored, how about a spar?"

Qin Muyin didn’t hesitate at all and agreed readily.

And then—

Hu Zhong came to understand what true control meant.

...

Meanwhile—

Han Li’s flying sword was extremely fast. In just over ten minutes, they arrived at their destination.

It was a mountain so tall it pierced the clouds—massive, imposing, and majestic.

With clouds coiling around it, the whole peak looked like an immortal’s dwelling.

"Director, this mountain... sure looks more impressive than your sect gate," Chen Ye teased.

Han Li smiled and nodded. "It’s grand indeed. But my goal is ascension through tribulation—I don’t care for appearances."

Chen Ye believed him.

Becoming an immortal was likely the ultimate goal of all cultivators.

He asked again, "Director, what’s the plan? Just charge in?"

Han Li shook his head. "Though Grandmaster Jinshi isn’t great at combat, he’s a master of formations."

"His sect is protected by the ’Twelve Heavenly Star Array’. If we force our way in, we’ll get thrown into spatial turbulence. No matter how strong we are, we’d struggle to return."

Chen Ye frowned at that.

Clearly, this kind of situation annoyed him most.

"So, how do we break the formation?"

"Simple. I’ll activate the protective array. You destroy it—with your fists."

"Alright!"

Han Li pulled out several "True Yang Command Flags" from his spatial pouch and scattered them around the mountain.

Moments later—

The protective array was triggered!

Just as Chen Ye was about to make his move, Han Li stopped him. "Wait! Don’t rush. This formation has more to it—I’ve only activated six of the twelve gates..."

"Let Jinshi come out and activate the full array himself. Then destroy it. Half the effort, twice the result."

"Of course, if Jinshi is willing to hand over the Red Spirit Fruit willingly, we can let him off."

As soon as he finished speaking—

Many figures flew out from the buildings on the mountain.

It was clear—

The activation of the defensive formation had alarmed the sect’s disciples. They thought enemies were attacking.

Among them was an old man who instantly drew attention.

Though aged, he was broad-shouldered, dignified, and radiated a strong, domineering aura.

Compared to his commanding presence, Han Li looked like a refined scholar.

This man was none other than Grandmaster Jinshi!

At first, he was stunned to see Han Li. Then, his expression turned cold.

"So it’s you—Qingyun Sect’s little brat. Han, instead of staying in your sect like a good boy, you dare come destroy my defenses? Are you looking to die?"

Clearly, he had a temper.

But he wasn’t entirely wrong.

Han Li had triggered his protective formation—clearly not here for friendly reasons.

By cultivation world etiquette, a proper visit required sending a letter in advance to arrange a meeting.

After all, this was a Nascent Soul-level grandmaster—one had to respect the ceremony.

Han Li looked at Jinshi and didn’t take his scolding to heart. Instead, he calmly introduced the man beside him.

"Jinshi, this is Qingyun Sect’s new Grand Elder—only one step away from Soul Formation."

Upon hearing that—

Grandmaster Jinshi was shocked and immediately examined Chen Ye carefully.

But he sensed no spiritual energy from Chen Ye at all. Strange.

Han Li continued, "Jinshi, I’ve come today to ask for something. If you agree, a great calamity can be avoided."

Hearing this—

Grandmaster Jinshi’s face darkened.

If Han Li had asked privately, Jinshi might have agreed to "lend" something out of respect for this Grand Elder—assuming it wasn’t anything crucial.

But now? With all his disciples watching?

If he backed down so easily, how could he lead his sect in the future?

"So, you’ve come to extort my Jinshi Sect?" he snapped.

"Let’s see if you have the strength to take anything!"

As soon as he said that—

Grandmaster Jinshi attacked!
