Each Has Their Own Thoughts

In Ye Fan's eyes, Qing Mo's action carried more than a little provocation. He prided himself on being a genius; even his old master up on the mountain had praised him for reaching the innate martial artist realm before he was twenty, and after coming to Jiang City, he had reached half-step grandmaster in less than two months. Yet the woman he had set his sights on was having her shoulder held and her face stroked by another man.

And after hearing his words, this woman had actually remained unmoved. When that man's fingers brushed over her cheek, the love and joy in her eyes were not concealed in the slightest!

"Just say it! What will it take for you to give that card back to me?"

Su Xue had already lost the patience to keep dragging things out with Qing Mo, and directly told him to state his conditions. Ye Fan, seeing the woman he wanted being treated like this right before his eyes, was already furious, and on top of that, Su Xue was actually compromising with him!

Ye Fan's fists slowly clenched. His gaze, brimming with killing intent, locked straight onto Qing Mo. Qing Mo seemed not to see it at all; his eyes swept up and down Su Xue's figure, as if he meant to see her completely bare!

When Su Xue saw Qing Mo's deep gaze, it was as if a black hole were about to suck her in. Panic instantly seized the high ground, and she unconsciously stepped back, feeling as if she stood naked before this man, without a single secret left!

"94-60-92. Not bad at all! But I think this card is pretty handy. The moment I take it out, the managers of those stores personally come over to receive me! So, sorry about that!"

"You..."

Su Xue clenched both fists, her face flushing somewhat with anger, and also with shyness. Her private measurements had been spoken aloud to her face just like that. She had originally planned to have Ye Fan make a move and snatch it back, but when she thought of the scene at the cemetery, the words reached her lips and would not come out!

Qing Mo looked at Su Xue with a playful expression, not caring at all about Ye Fan, whose eyes were bloodshot. The killing intent radiating from him was almost condensing into substance; everyone in the beverage shop felt the temperature plunge abruptly, and all of them looked toward Qing Mo in unison!

"Ye Fan, stop..."

Ye Fan had just been about to swing his fist, ready to beat Qing Mo savagely even inside a crowded mall, when Su Xue hurriedly told him to stop!

"All right, it's getting late. We should go find somewhere for dinner! Once I've had enough fun with it, I'll naturally return it to you!"

After saying that, Qing Mo ignored Ye Fan's ferocious expression, took Liu Yurou's hand, picked up their large and small shopping bags, and prepared to leave!

"Your name is Ye Fan, right? I'm in a pretty good mood today, so I won't hold this against you. Don't let me see you staring at me and my woman with that kind of look again, or I'll break every bone below your head, one by one."

Qing Mo's emotionless voice came from behind Su Xue and Ye Fan. An indescribable chill shot straight from the soles of Ye Fan's feet to the crown of his head, then vanished in a flash!

By the time the two of them came back to their senses and turned around, they could no longer find any trace of Qing Mo and the others!

"He released killing intent at me just now? No, no, no, impossible! How could there be anyone besides Master who could make me feel afraid?"

Ye Fan shook his head, trying not to recall what had just happened. He planned to have the head of the Wei Family send people to investigate. Perhaps he could leak a bit of information and draw the Li Family toward Qing Mo and the others!

"Ye Fan, you are not allowed to tell anyone about what happened today!"

Su Xue gave Ye Fan that instruction, then strode out of the mall as well!

"Wife, I'm here to pick you up from work!"

"Didn't I tell you? You're not allowed to come to the company, and you're even less allowed to call me wife in public!"

The young man being scolded did not get angry either. With a silly grin on his face, he followed the beautiful woman in a suit who had come down from upstairs!

"So that's Lin Fan, the Luo Family's live-in son-in-law! I heard the old patriarch of the Luo Family made his granddaughter marry him before he died!"

"Exactly! Half a year ago, the goddess countless men in our Jiang City dreamed of actually married this country bumpkin from out of town."

"Pah, who knows what kind of dog-shit luck this hick stepped in to actually marry the number one beauty of our Jiang City!"

"I heard Young Master Wang has always been pursuing Luo Qing'er, and the old madam of the Luo Family approves of it too."

"His own wife is being pursued by someone else, and Lin Fan seems not to know at all. But even if he knew, what could he do?"

Qing Mo and Liu Yuxin were walking along the street when they noticed a young man sitting on an electric scooter below the building across from them. With a cheeky grin, he watched the woman who had come downstairs get into a luxury car, then turned back, got on his electric scooter, and followed behind the luxury car!

Hearing the discussions around him, Qing Mo shook his head and laughed!

"Master, what are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at the Luo Family. Their own house clearly has a dragon, yet their eyes only see worms. No, calling them worms is already flattering them!"

Qing Mo and Liu Yurou found a high-end restaurant, and after dinner, they returned to the hotel!

When night fell, Ye Fan arrived at the Wei Family villa, planning to discuss with the head of the Wei Family how to make the Li Family deal with Qing Mo!

"Mr. Ye, is what you said true?"

"I don't dare say I'm one hundred percent certain, but it's highly possible. By the way, Family Head Wei, did you find out what exactly happened to the Li Family last night?"

"I did. The blood ginseng in the Li Family's collection was stolen. The Li Family discovered it fairly quickly. It was Li Ming who led people in pursuit. I heard they chased them all the way to the cemetery in the suburbs. No one knows what happened inside the cemetery, but early this morning, Li Ming and the corpses of the Li Family's subordinates were found there!"

Combining the information from the head of the Wei Family and the boss of the Azure Dragon Gang, Ye Fan concluded that Li Ming had died at the hands of Qing Mo and the others.

In fact, on the surface, the Azure Dragon Gang relied on the Li Family's support, but behind the scenes, it had long since been taken under Ye Fan's control!

"By the way, did you find out who stole the Li Family's blood ginseng?"

"No. We only know the thief was a woman!"

It was not only Ye Fan who planned to make a move against Qing Mo. The Li Family had also found out which hotel Qing Mo and Liu Yurou were staying at. Just in case, they had even spent a large sum to invite the twentieth-ranked killer on the Assassination Ranking. If they could not bring them back to the Li Family, then they could only kill them!

Qing Mo and Liu Yurou had just finished a great battle, and the hotel room was a complete mess. Qing Mo was considering how to play next. Ye Fan would accept the head of the Wei Family's invitation and head to Rong City to vie for the position of leader of the underground gangs there, while Lin Fan was secretly accumulating strength so he could bring down the Lin Family in Capital City!

"Sigh... Each and every one of them has something to do! Even trouble has come knocking on our door!"

Qing Mo lightly held Liu Yurou, speaking slowly, as if he were not speaking to himself!

"Master, let me handle it this time?"

"Of course you should. Living off the empress's favor isn't just ordinarily sweet!"

Qing Mo even pinched Liu Yurou's little face. When Liu Yurou heard his words, her eyes filled with laughter.

Qing Mo sensed some movement from the Li Family. Taking Liu Yurou with him, he left the hotel, deliberately walking toward a less crowded place to make it easier for the other side to act.

"You two, come with us."

Qing Mo and Liu Yurou had just entered a deserted alley when dozens of people suddenly appeared ahead of them. The assassin ranked twentieth on the Assassination Ranking was hiding in the shadows.

"No time."

"That's not up to you!"

The Li Family steward in the lead did not care whether Qing Mo had time or not. Tonight, he had to bring Qing Mo and the other one back and ask what exactly had happened at the public cemetery that night. Besides, there was still an assassin hidden in the dark. If it truly came to it, crippling them and dragging them back would be the same.

"You're as stupid as that crowd of dead men in the cemetery!"
