Chapter 124 - 124 124 Keeping Secrets

124: Chapter 124: Keeping Secrets 124: Chapter 124: Keeping Secrets Watching Tang Yun persist so stubbornly, Ye Shikai felt helpless.

Tang Yun appeared fragile, but she was strong-willed.

Despite being frightened in that situation, she still paid close attention to the detail.

Even if he refused to admit it, she remained resolute.

It seemed that he couldn’t hide the truth from her any longer.

“Alright, Tang Yun, this is actually a secret.

We’re friends, and I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have kept it from you just now,” Ye Shikai sighed deeply, finally deflating.

“It’s okay.

If you don’t want to talk about it, just pretend I didn’t see anything,” Tang Yun said when she saw his reaction, feeling a little guilty and thinking she might have touched a nerve.

Everyone has their little secrets; Tang Yun didn’t pry on purpose.

“If I didn’t tell you, you would probably feel uneasy, right?” Ye Shikai said with a smile, that itching curiosity isn’t a pleasant feeling.

“I can tell you my secret, but you must swear not to tell anyone.”

Ye Shikai was very serious.

He originally did not plan to reveal that he was a cultivator.

Given his unique identity, he feared attracting overseas powers if they learned about it.

The Sea King Palace was a prime example.

Now, with so many loved ones around him, should they take action, it would be hard to protect everyone.

“Okay, I promise you,” Tang Yun nodded.

“Have you ever read novels where characters possess Inner Strength, allowing them to fly through the sky and use it to fight?” Ye Shikai tried to explain in a straightforward manner.

“I know, but those are just stories, aren’t they?

In reality…

how could that be?” Tang Yun answered disbelief, but then she remembered the bullet that fell in front of her; wasn’t that just like something out of a novel?

“That’s right.

Those things actually exist in reality.

This is what cultivation is,” Ye Shikai explained seriously.

If an ordinary person heard this, they’d probably think he was insane.

But Tang Yun had witnessed it with her own eyes.

“Really?

That stuff actually exists in reality?” Tang Yun’s face showed shock.

Although she had guessed Ye Shikai would say this, she was amazed – it was as if someone was telling her that legendary martial arts masters and unparalleled Divine Skills indeed existed.

Ye Shikai didn’t speak but picked up a stone from the ground and held it in his palm for Tang Yun to see.

“What are you doing?” Tang Yun asked, puzzled.

Ye Shikai gave a faint smile, a trace of purple aura rose from his palm, and then the stone turned to dust, which flowed away through his fingers as he opened his hand.

“This is…” Tang Yun was stunned speechless.

“This is Inner Strength, just like in those novels,” Ye Shikai explained.

“So that’s how you saved me just now.”

The bullet was aimed at your forehead; I had no choice but to intercept it with my Inner Strength.”

“Thank you,” Tang Yun said, her cheeks turning red with a hint of shyness.

The man before her was her savior at a critical moment of life and death.

“It’s nothing.

But you really can’t talk about this to anyone else,” Ye Shikai cautioned.

“Of course not.

By the way, how did you come into contact with cultivation?” Tang Yun asked curiously.

As soon as she said it, she realized that she might have asked something inappropriate.

“It was a chance opportunity that led me to cultivation,” Ye Shikai replied with a smile.

“Can I also cultivate?” Tang Yun asked, enticed by the scene that had unfolded before her, which was right out of a novel where a peerless hero saves her – it was just so cool.

Ye Shikai shook his head.

Not everyone is capable of cultivation.

First, you need the requisite aptitude and talent.

Without it, even lifelong practice won’t let you enter the threshold of cultivation.

Secondly, you must have the correct techniques for cultivation to progress, along with real combat experience to enhance your fighting abilities.

Power isn’t equivalent to combat skills.

If one has strength but lacks combat experience, their effective power is much reduced.

Given these factors, Tang Yun, being an ordinary person, wouldn’t be able to access them.

Tang Yun didn’t press further; after all, such matters were very secretive, or Ye Shikai wouldn’t require her to swear to keep it to herself.

“Actually, there are many cultivators both within and outside the country.

However, they usually don’t reveal their Inner Strength openly, to avoid trouble,” Ye Shikai explained.

He wasn’t sure about abroad, but within Huaxia, entities like the National Security Bureau were tasked with dealing with cultivators like himself.

After all, Huaxia would not allow cultivators to commit massacres on their soil, let alone those at his Main God level.

He wondered if the National Security Bureau had investigated the battle with Jialong.

“I understand.

With such power, you surely can’t just act recklessly,” Tang Yun nodded in comprehension.

“That’s true, but today you were in a life-and-death situation, so I had to intervene.” After hearing this, Tang Yun showed a smile.

To have a man save one in a moment of peril, and moreover, a peerless hero at that.

“Okay, I’ve said enough.

Remember, you must never tell anyone about this, or you could be in a lot of danger,” Ye Shikai emphasized again, although the last bit was just to scare Tang Yun a little – he hoped she would never encounter danger.

“I know, I won’t tell,” Tang Yun assured firmly.

“You’ve had a scare today; get some rest when you get home,” Ye Shikai advised.

When the two arrived at the store to farewell Mr.

Shi, and Ye Shikai saw the mess inside, he felt displeased.

He held great respect for Shi Chengyu, and yet these robbers had the audacity to wreck his shop.

“Mr.

Shi, are you okay?” Ye Shikai approached Shi Chengyu, whose complexion seemed a bit off.

Though he had escaped danger, seeing his shop in such disarray was understandably distressing.

“I’m fine, just one of the staff got injured, thank goodness the rest are safe,” Shi Chengyu replied with a smile, “And all the stolen goods are here, not missing a thing.”

“That’s good,” Ye Shikai nodded, his gaze sharpening as he looked directly into Mr.

Shi’s eyes and asked, “Mr.

Shi, do you recognize those robbers?”
