Say That About My Master Again and See What Happens

It has to be said that the Layered Shadow Soul Chasing Step is indeed difficult to learn. The mastery of meridian acupoints and footwork must be perfectly coordinated to achieve that ghost-like effect.

By the time dawn broke, Ji Qinglin had basically grasped the knack of this move. He originally wanted to practice for a while longer, but he found that most of the data he had absorbed from the Sea of Data had been used up.

In addition, his jumping up and down like a ghost in front of the courtyard gate had already scared several waves of elderly residents who were out for their morning exercise.

Having not slept the previous day, coupled with a night of training, Ji Qinglin, exhausted from two days of effort, returned to his second-hand bedroom and caught up on his sleep. When he woke up again, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

After waking up, he ate a few bites of food and continued to absorb the power of the Sea of Data. As expected, the absorption speed was much faster than before.

Once his strength was restored, Ji Qinglin thoroughly searched the house again. He even moved the medical pod to the courtyard, poured out the soil inside, and carefully examined it. After confirming that there were no clues, he prepared to pack up and leave.

Originally, Ji Qinglin wanted to stay here longer, but what happened yesterday made him feel that he should avoid the limelight. If that Red-Eyed Girl named Qian Feng was really a heinous person or was caught by the company and exposed him, then things would really be troublesome.

Besides, leaving Yu Ye, that little one, to watch the house alone made him feel somewhat uneasy now that he thought about it.

Moreover, since he could scan cultivation methods and learn them, Bangkok had more advanced cultivation methods than here, making it better for him to learn.

So Ji Qinglin bought an old tricycle from nearby vendors and put most of the "learning materials" from the bookshelf on the vehicle. These were the only clues he had, so he was naturally worried about leaving them here.

After packing everything up, Ji Qinglin didn't rush to leave. Instead, he waited until it was completely dark before secretly pushing the Night Owl 750 out of the west wing and filling it with gas.

It would be fine to show off wealth back in the city, but if he did it here, he probably wouldn't even have a door left when he came back next time.

The broken tricycle was connected to the brand-new Night Owl 750, looking like a stunning girl in black silk carrying a broken garbage bag full of plastic bottles. The scene was simply too incongruous.

But in order to bring these things back, he had no choice but to resort to this tactic.

Ji Qinglin straddled the bike and twisted the throttle.

Rumble—

The Night Owl 750's first sound was not at all shy, full of confidence.

Boom—

As Ji Qinglin released the clutch, the Night Owl 750 finally shot out. Because he was pulling a tricycle full of stuff behind him, Ji Qinglin controlled his speed and didn't go too fast, but that strong force could still be felt from under his crotch, like riding a magnificent steed.

The Coal Boss, who could barely stand, could only choose to follow in the air.

Before long, Ji Qinglin rode this five-wheeled vehicle into Xin Dong Street. Knowing that this combination was too eye-catching, he avoided all crowded areas.

Before reaching the alley, Ji Qinglin turned off the engine and got off the bike in advance. He hadn't told Yu Ye he was coming back, and he wanted to launch a surprise attack to see if the little one had been training hard at home.

After separating the tricycle and the Night Owl 750 and parking them aside, the Coal Boss silently landed on Ji Qinglin's shoulder. The man and two birds slowly approached Ji's General Store, which was still lit and open.

Looking from the side, the furnishings inside were normal. It seemed that Boss Yu hadn't made any moves these past two days, otherwise the defense system inside would have torn down a good portion of the store.

Then he could see two figures moving inside, and he could vaguely hear voices.

Just as he was about to eavesdrop, a figure flew out of Ji's General Store, startling Ji Qinglin, who was crouching by the wall. He thought to himself, Are everyone's movement techniques so amazing now? Arriving in an instant?

But when he looked up, he realized that the person who flew out was horizontal.

Sensing something was wrong, Ji Qinglin subconsciously retreated into the shadows.

Thud—

The person who flew out crashed directly into the wall opposite the alley. Judging from the sound, the fall was quite solid, but he didn't lose consciousness from it. He propped himself up with one hand and stood up, but he was still in pain, wincing and rubbing his abdomen as he said, "Miss Yu Ye, you really hit me!"

Hearing the voice, it sounded quite familiar. Ji Qinglin in the darkness took a closer look.

Isn't that Ji Congliang? He was wearing different clothes and flying too fast, so he almost didn't recognize him. What happened to him in the past two days? Did Yu Ye beat him up?

Then he saw Yu Ye walking out of the general store. The blue sportswear fit her body curves perfectly. She was wearing a baseball cap, and a small ponytail stuck out from the back of the cap, giving her a youthful and capable look.

While stretching her right wrist, she replied:

"Say it again about my Master, and see what happens."

"Ahem, Miss Yu Ye, but what I'm saying is the truth."

Originally, Chairman Lei Qiong wanted to find a veteran from the chamber of commerce to guide Yu Ye in cultivation. Ji Congliang, who had long harbored intentions towards Yu Ye, volunteered. Considering that he had met Yu Ye and wouldn't be a stranger, the chairman let him come over.

But Yu Ye didn't have a good impression of this person. After all, he had been staring at her for an hour that day. But since it was the chairman's good intention, she couldn't refuse.

During the day, Ji Congliang praised Yu Ye in every possible way, which annoyed Yu Ye. Crazy Night even suggested knocking him unconscious with a hammer and saying he was overworked when he woke up.

Considering that he was a disciple of other Elders in the chamber of commerce, Yu Ye was also worried that Master would find out that she had strained the relationship and it would be difficult to deal with, so she had been enduring it.

Seeing that praise was useless, Ji Congliang changed his approach and began boasting about how abundant the cultivation resources were at Purple Dragon Peak's Elder Yu Ji Zi, and how Elder Ji Qinglin didn't even have a high-level cultivation set, which was really hindering her personal prospects, so why not abandon the darkness and come over to the light with him, blah blah blah.

Yu Ye found it amusing, thinking to herself that if Master hadn't told her before he left not to reveal that she had already installed a Grade A Meridian Set, she would have shown it off to scare him.

Then Ji Congliang went too far, and Yu Ye thought that was just right, she would teach him a lesson in the name of defending her Master's reputation. Ji Congliang didn't expect Yu Ye to attack so decisively, and before he could react, he was sent flying by a Mountain-Pushing Palm.

Seeing that Ji Congliang was still stubborn, Yu Ye clenched her fists and said, "What facts?"

"Elder Ji Qinglin, he..."

Ji Congliang only got halfway through his sentence when he caught sight of Ji Qinglin himself standing in the darkness, and immediately changed his tune:

"Although Elder Ji Qinglin's strength isn't top-notch in the Merchant Guild, his appearance, character, and wisdom are all excellent. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become an Elder of the Merchant Guild at such a young age. He must also take meticulous care of a disciple like Miss Yu Ye, and he is definitely a pillar of the Merchant Guild, and Miss's benefactor..."

Hearing Ji Congliang suddenly change his tune and say such a long passage praising her Master, Yu Ye also found it a bit strange, and thought that he was scared by her palm just now. Listening to these flattering words, she waved her hand to stop him and said:

"Alright, you're exaggerating more and more. My Master is very good, but he's not a god. Be more realistic."

As soon as she finished speaking, a familiar voice came from behind Yu Ye: "Oh? Then tell me, what would you consider being realistic?"
