Chapter 185: Chapter 0185: Searching for Him Through Thousands of Ways

Slap, slap!

After two slaps rang out, Long Fei held his face, feeling wronged as he followed Lin Yingying and Lin Shanshan down the mountain.

Damn it, he didn’t want to touch a butt, it’s you guys who insisted on pressing against him, and then you slap him afterward.

On the cable car, Long Fei glumly muttered to himself while staring at the two sisters.

Lin Shanshan worriedly said, "Do you think there will be people stopping us at the foot of the mountain?"

They had smashed the temple and posted on Weibo; probably those interest group backers were already blowing their tops.

Lin Yingying calmly said, "What is there to fear? If the sky falls, we still have that tall guy to support it!"

Lin Shanshan giggled and said to Long Fei, "Brother Long, I’m sorry about just now! I slapped you subconsciously; it wasn’t deliberate."

Long Fei, still holding his face, ignored her.

Lin Yingying teased from the side, "Wow, pouting your lips so much you almost look like a woman. You took advantage, and we hit you, we’re just even now, what’s there to feel wronged about?"

Long Fei snorted and gave her a chilly glance.

After the cable car landed, the three of them got out together.

Lin Yingying talked tough, but she still hid behind Long Fei along with Lin Shanshan.

Long Fei protected both of them as they got into the car, not noticing anyone trying to stop them.

As they were leaving, they saw a bus arriving.

A group of people who looked like officials got off; it was the investigation team that had just been sent by the city.

The incident had too great an impact, with the authorities angry, the local officials didn’t dare to mess around.

Lin Shanshan drove out of the scenic area, heading towards Longjiawan Village.

Suddenly, Lin Yingying shouted, "Shanshan, wait a moment."

Lin Shanshan stopped and curiously asked, "What’s up, sis?"

Lin Yingying instructed, "Turn back!"

"Huh?"

Lin Shanshan frowned, pointing at the sign ahead, "We’re nearly there, why go back?"

"I’ve thought it through. I, Lin Yingying, will win on my own strength and not pin my hopes on a marriage arrangement. If their family doesn’t seek me out to propose, I definitely won’t shamelessly approach them. Anyway, once this year passes, the marriage agreement will automatically be annulled, and then we will all be free."

Lin Yingying was serious, leaving both Long Fei and Lin Shanshan quite surprised.

Lin Shanshan gave a thumbs up, praising, "That’s my sister, so domineering!"

Long Fei breathed a sigh of relief; her not going suited him just fine, and it meant he also didn’t have to figure out how to keep hiding it.

He took out his phone and sent a text to his grandfather, "Change of plans, we’re not going back."

Lin Yingying looked at him, feeling as if he was somehow relieved, as if she was going to his house or something.

Long Fei, afraid she might read his mind, changed the subject, and asked her, "Didn’t you guys get one of the Daoists at Seven Stars Temple to tell your fortune yesterday when you were visiting?"

"Of course we did!"

Lin Shanshan excitedly exclaimed, "It was for free."

"What was your sister’s fortune?"

Long Fei was a bit curious.

Lin Shanshan cleared her throat, about to speak.

Lin Yingying immediately stopped her, "Shanshan, focus on driving!"

"Alright!"

Lin Shanshan shut her mouth and didn’t say it out loud.

Lin Yingying gave Long Fei a sidelong glance, thinking to herself why are her fortunes any of his business, such a gossip boy.

Yesterday, she got a Marriage Fortune Slip from the Daoist who told her, "I search for him in the crowd time and again, but suddenly turning back, I find him standing where the lantern light is dim."

It wasn’t explained clearly, only telling her that her destined partner is right beside her.

Lin Yingying looked at Long Fei beside her, and no matter how she looked, it just felt awkward, like that Daoist must have been bribed by Long Fei.

The three of them returned to Binhai City and first went home to change clothes.

Lin Shanshan went to school, and Lin Yingying took Long Fei to the company.

Long Fei, acting as a full-time bodyguard and dressed in casual business attire, walked behind Lin Yingying with a straight back and an impressive air.

To those unaware, he would seem like the CEO, and Lin Yingying, his secretary.

Both returned to the office, where Lin Yingying immediately called Su Qi over.

Long Fei sat outside with his eyes closed, contemplating the knowledge passed on to him by Gongsun Sheng.

He had always thought that the Grandmaster Realm of the Ancient Martial World was the pinnacle of power in this world.

Only after receiving Gongsun Sheng’s legacy did he realize that he was merely a frog in a well.

Including his master, Zhou Yunshen.

In this world, martial artists are merely at the bottom of the hierarchy.

Above them, there are cultivators.

The methodology of Ancient Martial Arts is but a simplified version of the Cultivation methods.

According to "The Comprehensive Guide to Qi Refinement," the initial stage of Cultivation methods, the Qi Refining Stage, is quite similar to Ancient Martial Arts techniques.

Above the Qi Refining Stage is the Foundation Establishment Realm.

As long as one breaks through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, they can be considered a true cultivator.

The Qi Refining Stage is divided into early, middle, and late phases.

In the early phase, opening the governor and conception vessels allows Qi to circulate between the front and back of the body, akin to opening up highways.

In the middle phase, opening the Eight Extraordinary Meridians allows all the meridians in the body to connect, similar to interlinking provincial roads, county roads, and highways.

In the late phase, one unlocks the hidden Dantian, creating a space in the lower abdomen to store essence, like a parking lot for Essential Qi.

The Grandmaster Realm of Ancient Martial Arts, with its projection of internal power, is only roughly equivalent to the middle phase of the Qi Refining Stage.

In the Cultivation World, that’s quite ordinary.

Grandmasters of the Ancient Martial World only open the Eight Extraordinary Meridians but fail to unlock the Dantian.

The Qi stored in the meridians cannot compare to the enduring and profound Qi stored within the Dantian.

As he contemplated this, many realizations suddenly dawned on Long Fei.

Zhou Yunshen had taught him breathing techniques to store Essential Qi in his meridians, aiming to unlock the governor and conception vessels once a certain level was reached.

However, this method was too slow and not necessarily effective.

"The Comprehensive Guide to Qi Refinement" contains over a hundred methods for Foundation Establishment.

Among them, Long Fei found that only one method, which involved consuming pills to replenish enough Essential Qi and breakthrough the governor and conception vessels in one go, could be tried.

As for the other methods, like receiving assistance from a master or using a Formation, Long Fei didn’t have the conditions for that.

He pulled up "The Shennong Herbology" in his mind and opened a section on Qi Replenishing Pills, carefully choosing one.

At last, he found a basic herbal broth recipe.

There was no need to refine it into a pill; simply stewing it into a medicinal soup could replenish Qi.

Although not as effective as a pill, it was sufficient for his Foundation Establishment needs.

He took out his phone and noted down the ingredients required for the recipe, planning to find a pharmacy to purchase them after work.

Su Qi came out from Lin Yingying’s office, opened the door to look at Long Fei, then turned back to close the door.

Lin Yingying asked her, "What, is there something else?"

Su Qi frowned and said, "What is that guy up to over there?"

Lin Yingying leaned in curiously and asked, "Up to what?"

She looked over and saw Long Fei sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, humming softly, "Sleeping, what else could it be!"

Su Qi shook her head and said, "It doesn’t look like sleeping. Haven’t you seen on TV how those martial arts experts practice? They always sit like that."

"Alright, you’re making it sound more and more mystical!"

Lin Yingying chuckled and pushed her, telling her to hurry up and get back to work.

The two had just discussed a list of shareholders. The plan was for Su Qi to lead the way, with Lin Yingying following up with visits to convert each shareholder that was originally opposed to them to their side.

After Su Qi left, Lin Yingying sat down on the sofa, waved her hand in front of Long Fei, who seemed to be sleeping and totally ignored her.

"I’m working hard here, and you have the nerve to take a comfortable nap!"

Lin Yingying muttered under her breath, then she reached under the coffee table, picked up a marker, and with a wicked smile, drew on Long Fei’s face.

She drew one stroke, and Long Fei didn’t react.

Her courage grew, and soon she turned Long Fei’s face into a big painted cat.
