Chapter 217: 0215 tracking

After Shangguan Hong’s birthday, everyone in the Goddess Villa got busy—Shen Mengchen was occupied with Longjia’s affairs, Shangguan Hong was preparing her thesis defense, and Shangguan Mingyue would disappear during the day, only to return at night.

Ye Qiu spent his time in the villa practicing martial arts and occasionally teaching Niu Yinyin. As for Shen Mengchen, who had practiced horse stance for a few days, she had to give it up midway due to business matters. Regarding Shen Mengchen’s safety, Ye Qiu wasn’t worried; she was always in her office, practically out of danger.

As for Rong Da, who held a grudge against Longjia, Ye Qiu also kept a constant watch. During this period, Rong Da remained quiet and hadn’t made any moves, so for the time being, Ye Qiu was not too worried about him targeting Shen Mengchen.

After teaching a set of boxing techniques to Niu Yinyin, the little girl began practicing diligently. Ye Qiu didn’t know what was going on in her mind—a little girl taking an interest in martial arts to the extent of giving up watching her favorite TV shows.

After practicing for a while, Niu Yinyin begged Ye Qiu to take her out to play. Unable to resist the little girl, the two went to the lakeside and, gazing at the scenery in the lake, Ye Qiu became lost in thought.

Ever since he arrived in Zhongshan City, he hadn’t taken the time to properly appreciate its landscapes.

The sky was dusky, the water surface misty—but the endless span of the lake was still breathtaking.

There weren’t many people by the lake; in the distance, there were faintly some elderly people and children strolling along the shore.

Lost in thought, Ye Qiu thought of Ye Zi. Since that weird person had taken him away, there was still no news of Ye Zi. He had asked Huo Qian to help search, but unfortunately, there had been no updates. Ye Qiu wondered if he should ask Lan Xiaosheng, Lan Bing’s father, for help, thinking that someone familiar with the martial arts world might have more insights due to that strange person’s skills.

While pondering, Ye Qiu’s gaze shifted and suddenly noticed that Niu Yinyin was gone.

"Yinyin!"

A tightness gripped Ye Qiu’s heart—if he lost Niu Yinyin while she was with him, he was sure to be torn apart by a furious mob when he returned.

"Brother Ye Qiu, I’m over here." Just as Ye Qiu called out Niu Yinyin’s name, a crisp voice came from behind him.

Ye Qiu turned around and saw Niu Yinyin not far away, waving at him, her face adorned with a joyful smile.

But as Ye Qiu’s eyes landed on the figure next to her, his eyes abruptly narrowed.

Damn it!

How could he be here—that dangerous figure! Ye Qiu feared that Niu Yinyin’s tender face would be ruined by the tall silhouette and quickly moved toward her.

Ye Qiu dared not delay; if that person suddenly lashed out, Niu Yinyin would surely be killed instantly.

"Brother Ye Qiu, look, he is like a statue, not moving at all, and no matter how I touch him, he just ignores me," said Niu Yinyin to the hurrying Ye Qiu, looking utterly perplexed.

Ye Qiu immediately pulled Niu Yinyin behind himself, while the tall figure in front of him continued to regard him with an indifferent gaze, still in an observant posture.

"He’s so interesting! Yinyin has never seen someone so tall. It’s a pity he won’t play with me," said Niu Yinyin, still wanting to step forward but was blocked by Ye Qiu’s hand. Niu Yinyin was innocently unaware of how terrifying the figure before them could be, but Ye Qiu was acutely aware.

He had never expected to encounter this mysterious person here again. That expert, whose skills were far beyond the True Qi state, was admiring the scenery by this small lake.

Fortunately, he hadn’t acted against Niu Yinyin; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Ye Qiu regarded the mysterious figure warily, still unsure why he had come here, and why he remained motionless at this moment.

After a moment, the mysterious person shifted their eyes and tilted their head, staring at Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu’s True Qi instantly began to circulate, ready to strike back without hesitation should the other party make a move. He had been refining his responsive moves for many days and was eager to test their effectiveness.

As Ye Qiu focused his attention on the mysterious person, the tall figure stared at Ye Qiu for a while and then slowly turned his head without making a move. Ye Qiu noted that when the figure turned away, his gaze showed no interest in him whatsoever.

Ye Qiu was astonished. Why hadn’t he attacked him this time? The last time, in front of the tomb, this fellow had attacked without saying a word.

While still in shock, Ye Qiu saw the mysterious person quickly walk away. Ye Qiu’s eyes flickered, and he picked up Niu Yinyin, following directly behind.

"Brother Ye Qiu also finds this person interesting, doesn’t he?" Niu Yinyin was much more excited about chasing the mysterious person than Ye Qiu was.

Ye Qiu made a silencing gesture, and the little one immediately closed her mouth, proving to be very obedient.

Following the mysterious person, Ye Qiu’s True Qi was rapidly depleted. The mysterious person’s steps were small, and his speed seemed not slow, but with each step he took, Ye Qiu had to take four or five steps to catch up, quickly creating a distance of over a hundred meters between them.

Having no other choice, Ye Qiu had to apply his True Qi to his feet and hurriedly pursued.

The mysterious person took a more secluded path and, in their cat and mouse chase, they soon left the city.

When a gust of sea breeze blew in, Ye Qiu saw the silhouette of the mysterious person standing before the vast sea, much grander than the small lake previously, with a majestic aura washing over from the distance and stirring up waves.

The mysterious person stood on the rocks, as if he had truly become a statue, letting the waves crash against him. As Ye Qiu watched, a wave fell from the sky and was about to drench the mysterious figure when suddenly, it changed direction mid-fall and crashed beside him without touching him at all.

Ye Qiu’s eyes widened, as if there was an invisible shield around the mysterious person, protecting him from the water.

What kind of technique was this?

The mysterious person’s actions seemed to open a new door for him; that invisible shield made him feel the power of True Qi, even if just a bit, it was undoubtedly real.

Could True Qi accomplish this much?

Ye Qiu was shocked by the mysterious person’s technique, a method of using True Qi he had never considered. If he could cultivate such an invisible shield, would he not even have to fear bullets!

If that were really the case, he would be immune to blades and guns. Even though now Ye Qiu had reached the state of True Qi, he was still vulnerable; if he wasn’t careful and was threatened by gunfire, he wouldn’t remain unharmed amidst intense gunfire.

After watching for a while, the mysterious person jumped off the rock and vanished completely, as if he had entered the sea.

Carrying a dancing and chattering Niu Yinyin, who was excited about having witnessed a miracle, back to the Goddess Mansion, Ye Qiu had no other thoughts, his mind continually replaying the image of the mysterious person unharmed by the rain.

Ye Qiu, in a commanding tone, forbade Niu Yinyin from recklessly talking about everything she had seen. He also forbade mentioning a word to Shen Mengchen and others. By threatening with the withholding of martial arts teaching and the temptation of snacks, Niu Yinyin nodded and swore not to tell.

Ye Qiu returned to his own room to try whether he could also use True Qi in that manner!
