[Urban] My Life with My Nurse Stepmother (Complete) - 28-30

Chapter 222 The Temptation of a Young Woman (4)

Wang Ying was taking a nap when she received Ye Tian's call, but she couldn't sleep at all. She stayed by her daughter's bedside. When she heard that Ye Tian's master had arrived, she immediately got up and went downstairs to greet him. She didn't expect it to be so fast. Moreover, she had repeatedly told Ye Tian to notify her to pick up his master when he returned to China. She didn't expect that he would still go alone.

When Wang Ying arrived downstairs, she saw the two standing at the door and hurriedly came over to greet Zhuge Qi, "Hello, you must be Master Ye Tian. May I ask your surname?"

"Aunt Wang, you can call him Old Man Zhuge or Grandpa Zhuge, it's fine!"

Ye Tian said, then introduced Wang Ying to his master, "Old man, this is Sister Yan's mother, Ms. Wang Ying, the head of a department at a hospital."

"Hello, Miss Wang, I am Master Ye Tian. He's right, we're all acquaintances. You can call me Old Man Zhuge, or if you can't bring yourself to say it, just call me Grandpa Zhuge!"

Zhuge Qi didn't care about worldly titles; he was used to being called "old man" by Ye Tian all the time.

Wang Ying didn't expect Master Ye Tian to be so easygoing. She smiled faintly, "Grandpa Zhuge is indeed a reclusive master, his realm is beyond the reach of ordinary people. I'm afraid only you can tolerate Ye Tian's mischievous nature!"

Wang Ying thought the old man would be angry after hearing Ye Tian's words, but he didn't seem to care at all.

Zhuge Qi couldn't stand being praised, especially by Wang Ying's exaggerated praise. Feeling embarrassed, he chuckled awkwardly and asked her to take him to see Cao Yan first.

Led by Ye Tian and Wang Ying, Zhuge Qi quickly arrived at the ward. Seeing Cao Yan lying on the bed, he glanced at her complexion, then went to the bedside, examined her eyes, and placed his hand on her pulse to diagnose her. After a while,

Zhuge confirmed that Cao Yan did indeed have the Hundred-Extinction Pill in her body, but the situation was better than he had imagined. The Hundred-Extinction Pill was a drug similar to a slow-release agent in Western medicine, releasing its effects continuously and slowly. Cao Yan had only taken the pill recently, and its effects hadn't fully manifested yet.

However, the effects would gradually be released over time, and that would be the most difficult time to treat; currently, it was only the initial stage.

"She definitely has the Hundred-Elimination Pill in her body!"

After diagnosing her, Zhuge Qi asked Wang Ying, "Could you draw some blood from your daughter?"

The Hundred-Elimination Pill hadn't fully released its effects yet, and Zhuge Qi wanted to find out which medicinal ingredients were currently present in Cao Yan's blood. If he could find those released ingredients, he could concoct an antidote, which might wake Cao Yan up. Once she woke up, Zhuge Qi would have a way to expel the remaining drugs from her body.

Wang Ying agreed without hesitation. Several senior experts at the hospital had examined Cao Yan, but they were all helpless, unable to even diagnose the cause. Now, her only hope was Old Master Zhuge.

Wang Ying asked a nurse to draw 5 milliliters of blood from Cao Yan's vein. Zhuge Qi then asked Ye Tian to fetch a pen and paper. Once everything was ready, he began trying to analyze the blood to determine the specific medicinal components.

The Hundred Elixir is made from a complex formula. Zhuge Qi's understanding of medicinal herbs is unparalleled, so he is very confident that he can identify the herbal components in the blood.

Zhuge Qi poured a little blood onto his finger, then touched it with his tongue, closed his eyes, and began to taste it. After tasting it, Zhuge Qi immediately named the herbs he had identified: "Shanlian, Guibai, Yadanzi, Baicaoshuang, Chuanxinlian, Jixueteng..."

Ye Tian quickly wrote down the names of the herbs his master had spoken, not daring to be careless in the slightest. Whether Sister Yan could wake up depended on this!

Because the medicinal components in the blood were extremely rare, after Zhuge Qi named nearly ten herbs, the properties of the other herbs gradually faded. He had to drip a little more blood into his mouth to try again, and each time he could name some herbs.

Zhuge Qi identified all the detectable drugs using only three milliliters of the five milliliters of blood. Ye Tian scribbled down more than thirty kinds of medicinal herbs on the paper.

However, the remaining two milliliters of blood contained only the previously mentioned drug components, indicating that only the properties of more than thirty kinds of drugs were currently effective in Cao Yan's body. This greatly excited Zhuge Qi. "Judging from the current progress, that girl's body should only release two or three more important drugs in the next two or three days. As long as they are not very special medicinal herbs, there shouldn't be any major problems. I'll go to the mountains outside the city to collect herbs now. Ye Tian, take me to the outskirts of the city immediately!"

Ye Tian looked at the paper with the records and said, "Master, there are many of these that can be bought at pharmacies!"

Zhuge Qi almost forgot that he was in China, not in the United States. There are very few Chinese medicine stores abroad, and even if there are, the selection is not complete. "Okay, then give the ones that can be bought to Miss Wang, and we'll collect the rest outside!"

Wang Ying was overjoyed to hear this news. She took the names of the medicinal herbs that Ye Tian had written for her and went to the Chinese Medicine Hospital to find an acquaintance to get the medicine.

Ye Tian and his master were about to leave the hospital. They had just gotten into their car and hadn't even started the engine when a Mercedes pulled up and blocked their way. Ye Tian looked closely and saw that the woman getting out was Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan swayed her hips gracefully as she slowly walked to Ye Tian's car window. "Oh, what a coincidence!"

"Miss Liu, is there something you need?"

Ye Tian didn't believe it was a chance encounter. How could it be such a coincidence? Judging from her expression, she had clearly been waiting for him outside.

"Nothing special, just wanted to welcome Master Zhuge back!"

Liu Ruyan didn't directly say she wanted to see Ye Tian. She knew he was a cautious person, so she only said she was inviting his master to dinner.

Zhuge Qi, sitting in the back of the car, calmly declined through the open window, saying, "Girl, there's no need for a welcome feast. I have some things to do today. You can take me to Old Lei's grave to burn incense another day when you have time!"

Liu Ruyan pondered for a moment. It seemed that she had come at the wrong time. The two of them seemed to be in a hurry, so they must have something urgent to attend to. Liu Ruyan wasn't unreasonable, and continuing to pester them would only make her look foolish. "Alright, since Grandpa Zhuge has said so, I won't stand on ceremony with you. I also have some things to do at the hospital. You two get on with your business!"

Ye Tian started the car, drove around the Mercedes, and left the hospital, quickly heading towards the suburbs. To find medicinal herbs, he had to go to undeveloped wild mountains. Ye Tian knew of a place; he had noticed it when he went swimming in the lake with Su Meifeng last time, but he didn't need any medicinal herbs then.

"Old man, what's your relationship with Grandpa Situ like?"

Ye Tian asked this as he considered how to deal with Liu Ruyan. If his master and Grandpa Situ were truly close, even if Liu Ruyan came to cause trouble for Ye Tian, he would show mercy. But if their relationship was so-so, Ye Tian wouldn't have any reservations.

"The previous generation's affairs are the previous generation's affairs. You young people should handle your own affairs, but one thing, don't go too far! After all, she's a woman!"

Zhuge Qi could also see that Liu Ruyan was eyeing his disciple. He didn't want to interfere, considering it a chance for Ye Tian to gain experience.

Ye Tian nodded, keeping his master's words in mind. If something really happened between him and Liu Ruyan, he would know how to handle it.

Not long after Ye Tian and his master left, Liu Ruyan immediately sent her third uncle after them. She wanted to see what Ye Tian was up to, but when she caught up, Ye Tian's car had already disappeared without a trace.

Liu Ruyan had no choice but to go home, but she did not give up. Instead, she sent people to keep watch at the hospital entrance, and to report to her immediately as soon as they saw Ye Tian.

Just after giving her instructions, Liu Ruyan suddenly received a call from Yanjing. Looking at the number, her expression immediately turned serious. She went upstairs to her study, closed the door, and then answered.

"Big Sister, that old scoundrel Nalande has been cured!"

A middle-aged man's voice came through the phone, sounding very angry.

Liu Ruyan was also taken aback. She had prepared for that plan for almost a year before finally finding an opportunity, and now it had been ruined. "Who cured him? Didn't you say that the Miao Jiang Gu poison could only be cured by the person who administered it?"

Chapter 223 Dual Cultivation Manual

Liu Ruyan had waited a long time for this day. She finally had a chance to send Nalande to the Western Paradise, but it was ruined halfway. She was very resentful. She had a blood feud with Nalande for killing her father. Although Nalande hadn't killed her father himself, her father had died at the hands of the Northern Hongmen, and Liu Ruyan would naturally hold Nalande accountable for this.

She had spent countless hours, manpower, and resources planning this day. Planting someone within the other party's inner circle was extremely difficult; even with Liu Ruyan's current status and substantial funds, she had only managed to place two undercover agents in the Northern Hongmen. If her identity were exposed, not only would the lives of her sent agents be in danger, but it could even reignite the war between the Northern and Southern Hongmen.

Therefore, upon hearing that Nalande had been healed, Liu Ruyan was frantic and harbored deep hatred for the person who cured him.

"Big sister, that person isn't from the Northern Hongmen. We haven't found out his identity yet, but we do know his name: Ye Tian. He's young, in his early twenties, and a bit lecherous!"

The person on the other end of the phone revealed the person who cured Nalande.

Hearing Ye Tian's name, Liu Ruyan was stunned!

"Ye Tian? In his early twenties? A bit of a womanizer? And quite handsome, like an idol star?"

Liu Ruyan pressed. She didn't know Ye Tian's identity before, but now that she knew he was Zhuge Qi's disciple, it made sense that Ye Tian could cure Nalande. Aside from a disciple taught by a reclusive master like Zhuge Qi, most people in the country probably couldn't cure Nalande.

The person on the other end of the phone was stunned, wondering how her older sister knew the young man was handsome. " Could it be…? " Liu Ruyan's face darkened.

"Big sister, have you seen him?" "More than just seen him! He's in Mingzhu, and we just bumped into each other. Forget it… let's put this on hold. Don't make any rash moves. That old scoundrel Naland has escaped with his life; he'll definitely be purging his undercover agents. Tell the brothers to be careful, and don't contact me for now!" "Yes, big sister!" After hanging up, Liu Ruyan paced back and forth in her study, somewhat restless. Ye Tian's abilities were beyond her imagination; it seemed Ye Tian was hiding his true strength. However, after thinking for a while, the worry on Liu Ruyan's face gradually faded, and a hint of surprise appeared. She suddenly felt that Ye Tian might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Although Ye Tian had saved Naland and ruined her plans, this matter had two sides. Ye Tian saving Naland would definitely gain his trust. As long as she could win Ye Tian over and make him one of her own, dealing with Naland in the future would be a piece of cake! The thought filled Liu Ruyan with an irrepressible joy. However, after calming down, she recalled Ye Tian's handsome face, which gave off a constantly shifting aura—one moment he seemed like a rogue, the next a lecher. When she met him at the hospital, he also seemed enigmatic. How could she possibly win him over? "Even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman!" Liu Ruyan smiled sweetly. "There's no man in the world who doesn't like beautiful women, and Ye Tian is no exception!" She was willing to sacrifice her life to avenge her father, let alone just her looks. Having made up her mind, Liu Ruyan sat down and began to plot her scheme. Meanwhile, Ye Tian and his master had arrived at Moon Lake, the same spot he had visited with Su Meifeng. After parking the car, Ye Tian led his master to the other side of the lake. The two ran like lightning, covering the distance of one or two kilometers in the blink of an eye. Across the lake stretched a range of mountains. These mountains weren't high, nor were they particularly remarkable, let alone beautiful; they looked quite ordinary, perhaps explaining why the area hadn't been developed. Zhuge Qi's strides seemed small, but his speed was incredibly fast. Ye Tian chased after him swiftly, but couldn't close the gap, though Ye Tian was holding back. "You brat, have you been slacking off lately?" Zhuge Qi said without turning his head. Ye Tian hadn't regressed; he simply hadn't been using his full strength. Hearing his master's words, he laughed, "Then you'd better watch carefully, lest I accidentally overtake you!" As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Tian increased his speed again, running faster and faster until only his toes touched the ground, making it seem as if he were walking in mid-air—far faster than before. Zhuge Qi was shocked. He realized this kid had been hiding his abilities so well; he had almost been fooled! However, Zhuge Qi couldn't understand why Ye Tian's progress had been so rapid in just over two months since he returned. Martial arts training isn't something that can be achieved overnight; it requires years of accumulation. Zhuge Qi knew Ye Tian was diligent, but even with diligence, progress couldn't be this fast. Unless… he had a fortuitous encounter! Zhuge Qi deliberately slowed his pace, letting Ye Tian catch up little by little. As he moved, he sensed Ye Tian's breathing and heartbeat. His internal energy seemed to have increased considerably, but it wasn't in a stable and powerful state. It probably wasn't from consuming some rare treasure like a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. Ye Tian's internal energy was much deeper than when he was abroad, but it was somewhat erratic and not very stable. This meant it wasn't something he had accumulated himself, but rather something brought about by external objects, and it hadn't been completely integrated with his own. Soon, the two had run four or five kilometers and reached the foot of the mountain. Zhuge Qi stopped, and Ye Tian caught up after a while, panting heavily. "Old… old man, why are you running so fast? Do you want to exhaust your disciple to death?!" "Don't pretend, kid. Tell me what happened!" Zhuge Qi didn't believe that such a short distance could make Ye Tian so out of breath. "What? What happened?" Ye Tian didn't understand what his master meant. Zhuge Qi walked to Ye Tian's side, grabbed his wrist, checked his pulse, and quickly understood what was going on. He laughed and said, "You little brat, did you run into a white tiger woman?" Is that even possible? Ye Tian was secretly surprised. He hadn't expected his master to guess so quickly. Seeing his master's smiling face, he blushed and nodded, "Yes, I met her not long ago!" "No wonder!" Zhuge Qi looked at Ye Tian and said, "Haven't you noticed that your internal energy is deeper than before?" Ye Tian had already noticed it. He thought it was from his daily practice, but his master's words seemed a bit off. "It is indeed a little deeper than before. I can feel it, but I can't use it!" "That's right. You obtained it from the White Tiger's body. Without dual cultivation, it can't be integrated with your own internal energy!" Zhuge Qi explained, "White Tiger women are rare and hard to find, and you can't force intercourse, otherwise, there will be endless trouble. But if a White Tiger woman is truly sincere and willing to offer herself to you, then it's like finding a treasure. You're really wasting a treasure, taking someone's virginity before even learning dual cultivation!"

Dual cultivation is an ancient martial art, once considered a heretical and shameful practice. Anyone who practiced it was like a rat in the street, hated by everyone. However, as times changed, some martial arts couples began practicing dual cultivation and unexpectedly discovered it brought immense benefits to both.

Eventually, as more people practiced it, no one considered dual cultivation evil anymore. However, those who truly understood it were few and far between, and nowadays, even fewer.

"Dual cultivation? Master, have you been reading too many martial arts novels? Does such a skill still exist?"

Ye Tian sometimes read novels online, but he never expected that this skill actually existed in the real world.

"Of course I do, I know it, but I don't have that manual with me, it's in my suitcase, I'll give it to you when we get back!"

Zhuge Qi sighed, "I didn't expect you to encounter the White Tiger Body so soon. I was planning to give it to you in two years, but since you've encountered it, I'll give it to you in advance!"

Zhuge Qi didn't dare to easily give Ye Tian the Dual Cultivation Manual because he was afraid that Ye Tian couldn't protect it. If it fell into the wrong hands, it would definitely cause harm. Now that Ye Tian has encountered the White Tiger Body, perhaps it is fate!

Chapter 224 Cao Yan wakes up (1)

Zhuge Qi still has many secrets about his sect that he hasn't told Ye Tian. The purpose of doing so is to protect Ye Tian. Once some things are revealed, Ye Tian will definitely bear a heavy responsibility, but Ye Tian is not yet capable of bearing such a heavy responsibility.

When Ye Tian heard his master say that there really was a Dual Cultivation Manual, he was shocked. "No way, old man, how many more secrets are you hiding from me? You only told me about something so important now!"

Ye Tian wasn't surprised that the skill really existed, but he was shocked that his master had that thing in his hands.

Zhuge Qi, too lazy to explain, glanced at Ye Tian. "Telling you now is too early. Do you think having that Dual Cultivation Manual is a good thing? Everyone wants good things, but the key is whether you have the ability to protect it. You should know better than anyone how much harm it would cause if it fell into the wrong hands!"

Ye Tian certainly understood how devastating Dual Cultivation would be if it fell into the wrong hands. Dual Cultivation, as the name suggests, is a skill cultivated while engaging in sexual intercourse. Martial artists are strong and healthy, and one or two women certainly cannot meet their needs. Moreover, the benefits of Dual Cultivation are greater for virgin women. If bad people get their hands on the Dual Cultivation Manual, they will definitely harm women everywhere, which is tantamount to aiding and abetting evil.

Although Ye Tian was not a righteous gentleman, he could not allow such a thing to happen.

"Master, don't worry, I will protect that Dual Cultivation Manual well!"

Ye Tian said solemnly to his master.

Zhuge Qi trusted Ye Tian's character, but not his ability to protect it. He sighed, "Xiao Tian, I naturally trust your character, but with your current abilities, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to protect it. The Dual Cultivation Manual is one of the secret techniques of our Divine Needle Sect. If it leaks out, it will not only harm society but also bring trouble to our sect. Here's what we'll do: you should put in more effort to memorize the Dual Cultivation Manual. I'll keep it safe."

"Alright! I'll spend more time memorizing it when I get back!"

Ye Tian nodded.

Zhuge Qi had witnessed Ye Tian's perseverance. When he taught him the Five Elements Needle Technique, the boy stayed up for three days and three nights to master the force of the needle manipulation. He experimented on himself every day, his arms and legs covered in needle marks, but Ye Tian never uttered a sound or complained.

From memorizing the formula to practical application, Ye Tian's perseverance and talent astonished Zhuge Qi. From that moment on, he knew that his disciple would surely rise to great heights.

After giving their instructions, Zhuge Qi and Ye Tian entered the depths of the mountains. To improve efficiency, they split up, each searching for medicinal herbs. The sooner they gathered all the herbs, the greater the chance of Cao Yan waking up.

The Hundred-Elimination Pill was still slowly releasing its medicinal properties within her body. Releasing more herbs might require a different antidote. If they were lucky, some antidotes could neutralize the toxicity of several herbs simultaneously. As long as they were within the antidote's range, releasing more wouldn't be a major problem.

Zhuge Qi traversed the deep mountains quickly, his eyes scanning left and right. He could spot any herbs he needed as soon as they came into view. Having studied medicine for decades, Zhuge Qi could recognize most Chinese medicinal herbs at a glance.

"Platycodon grandiflorus, wild chrysanthemum, peony..."

One by one, Zhuge Qi discovered and immediately collected the herbs. Ye Tian, on the other side, also quickly searched for the herbs. After more than an hour, the master and apprentice finally gathered all the herbs, met at the agreed location, and immediately returned to the hospital.

Ye Tianyi sped along the road at top speed, faster than he had come, arriving back at the hospital almost twenty minutes earlier. Wang Ying was already waiting in the ward with the medicine-decocting equipment ready, her heart filled with hope as she looked at her daughter on the bed.

"Aunt Wang, we're back!"

As soon as he entered the ward, Ye Tianyi took over thirty kinds of medicinal herbs to clean the eye masks, wrapped them in gauze, and asked Wang Ying to light the fire and decoct them.

Seeing Ye Tianyi and the others bring back the herbs, Wang Ying was very excited and quickly went to decoct the medicine.

After examining Cao Yan's pulse, Zhuge Qi sighed with relief. Fortunately, the Hundred-Strike Pill in her body hadn't released too much of its medicinal properties. Then, Zhuge Qi took out silver needles. "I'll help her temporarily slow down the release of the medicinal properties in her body to prevent new medicine from being released!"

When Ye Tianyi saw his master take out the silver needles, he immediately stood aside, his eyes fixed on his master's every movement. Every time he observed his master performing acupuncture, he benefited from it and gained new insights each time.

Zhuge Qi first inserted a needle into Cao Yan's forehead, this needle was inserted into the Jin Ding acupoint, followed by the wood needle, water needle, fire needle and earth needle, the complete five-element needle was performed, especially the wood needle and earth needle, which Ye Tian could not perform yet, he watched and was almost mesmerized, he deeply remembered the characteristics of his master's needle performance.

After the needle was performed, the next step was even more crucial, Zhuge Qi was to use internal force to open up the five hidden acupoints on Cao Yan's body, let them form a pathway to circulate, so that the five elements in Cao Yan's body could reach a state of mutual generation and restraint.

Chapter 225 Cao Yan wakes up (2)

Ye Tian did not dare to blink. His master rarely performed the complete set of five-element needles, firstly because the internal force was huge, and secondly because it was unnecessary. Ye Tian had never encountered a situation where he needed to perform the complete set of five-element needles when he was with his master.

"Golden needles infuse the head, qi flows rapidly, needles rotate slowly..."

Zhuge Qi held the silver needles on Cao Yan's head, injecting internal energy while softly reciting the incantation. Ye Tian watched his master's movements and silently memorized the incantation. Previously, Ye Tian had only learned the three elements of the Five Elements needles—metal, water, and fire—and even those were the most basic, without any incantations.

The essence of the Five Elements needles wasn't the application of needles but the infusion of internal energy; the deeper the internal energy, the more pronounced the effect.

After infusing the golden needles with internal energy, Zhuge Qi immediately infused the wooden needles in sequence, reciting the incantation a few times. Ye Tian memorized it word for word. By the time his master finished infusing the metal, wood, and water needles, beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead.

Zhuge Qi's internal energy was far beyond what Ye Tian could currently compare to; it was far greater. Yet, even so, Zhuge Qi felt somewhat exhausted after completing the three needles. The Five Elements needles consisted of needles of the five attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Each additional needle consumed an exponentially greater amount of internal energy, making the process increasingly difficult.

After Zhuge Qi finished using all five elements needles, he was covered in sweat. However, to everyone's relief, the hidden acupoints of the five elements on Cao Yan's body were opened up after being infused with internal energy. The five elements were connected and formed a pathway. The internal energy that Zhuge Qi had infused circulated repeatedly within this pathway.

The magic of the Five Elements Needle technique lies in its ability to allow an ordinary person to reach the physique of a martial artist in a short period of time, thereby counteracting the negative effects within the body. Cao Yan's current physique is equivalent to Ye Tian's two years ago, so the effects of the Hundred Deadly Pill released within her will be further slowed down or even stopped.

"Alright, the girl's condition is temporarily under control!"

Zhuge Qi breathed a sigh of relief after the mission was accomplished. Ye Tian handed his master a tissue he had prepared beforehand to wipe his sweat. "Master, will Sister Yan wake up after taking those medicines?"

Ye Tian was still somewhat hesitant to believe that Cao Yan would wake up quickly, because the Hundred Deadly Pill was the most difficult non-toxic drug he had ever seen to counteract. It wouldn't cause any other harm, but it would cause a long-term coma.

Zhuge Qi understood what Ye Tian was worried about. He himself wasn't 100% certain that he could guarantee Cao Yan's recovery. After all, many predecessors of the Divine Needle Sect had researched ways to counteract the Hundred Deadly Pill, but none of them had made any real progress.

Perhaps a very important reason was that, apart from that grandmaster, the other predecessors of the Divine Needle Sect were all researching the Hundred Deadly Pill, but no one had researched the people who had taken it.

Before possessing the ability to save lives, no one dared to easily administer the Hundred-Slaying Pill, which is why the predecessors always struggled to decipher it. Now, Zhuge Qi has had a fortuitous encounter, encountering someone who had taken the Hundred-Slaying Pill, giving him the opportunity to understand its properties within the human body.

"Whether this girl will wake up or not is still uncertain. It depends on her resistance to the drug and the strength of her desire to wake up. Xiao Tian, Master knows you're worried about her, but you can't force things. Even if she doesn't wake up this time, Master will continue to try!"

Zhuge Qi only has this one precious disciple, and he values his disciple's affairs more than his own.

Ye Tian knew very well that his master had taken a great risk to return. Even if his master was powerless, Ye Tian wouldn't blame him. After all, even so many predecessors from the Divine Needle Sect hadn't been able to decipher the Hundred-Slaying Pill, so it wasn't surprising that his master couldn't.

While decocting the medicine, Wang Ying said, "Xiao Tian, your master is right. Some things are destined. I certainly hope Yan Yan wakes up soon, but if we can't succeed this time, there's nothing we can do. We've done what we could, so don't blame yourself."

"Aunt Wang, you're saying discouraging things before Yan Yan has even taken her medicine. That won't do!"

Ye Tian laughed.

Just as Ye Tian and the others were waiting for the medicine to be decocted in the ward, someone came to the ward door, memorized the room number, and quickly left. After leaving the inpatient department, the person took out his phone and dialed, "Big Sister, the patient Ye Tian visited is in private room 303."

Liu Ruyan immediately perked up when she heard the message from her scout. Her biggest goal now was to win Ye Tian over and make him one of her own. She wouldn't let go of any opportunity to gain Ye Tian's favor. "Continue investigating and see who that hospitalized person is. But be careful not to get discovered. Notify me immediately if you find out!"

"Yes, Big Sister, I'll go right away!"

The scout from the Southern Hongmen returned to the inpatient department to continue the investigation after ending the call.

After some investigation, the spy finally got the news from the nurse that the hospitalized patient was a young woman named Cao Yan. Her husband had just passed away, and she was unconscious. Ye Tian had a close relationship with her and was also the key figure in treating Cao Yan.

Liu Ruyan was also a little incredulous after receiving this news. How could there be accidents wherever Ye Tian went? She then sent people to investigate the background of Cao Yan and her deceased husband.

Chapter 226 Cao Yan wakes up (3)

The intelligence department of Nan Hongmen was also very quick to get things done. They had results in an hour. They had investigated Cao Yan and Pei Zheng's affairs clearly, and even uncovered the fact that Pei Zheng drugged and raped Cao Yan. However, they had not yet found out Pei Zheng's identity. After all, he was sent by an assassin organization and his covert work was very strict.

Upon learning that Cao Yan was Ye Tian's first love, Liu Ruyan felt a bit uneasy. First love is the most beautiful experience for both men and women, and Ye Tian was now expressing his true feelings through his actions, indicating that he hadn't forgotten the past. Intervening at this time might not be effective; in fact, it could backfire and cause Ye Tian to resent her.

After careful consideration, Liu Ruyan decided to postpone her plan to seduce Ye Tian. Since Ye Tian wouldn't be leaving Mingzhu for the time being, there was no rush. Besides, it was better to let him take the bait himself than to actively seduce him.

Men are strange creatures; they like women who throw themselves at them, but it doesn't last long—they'll get tired of them and discard them. However, they fantasize about women they've pursued relentlessly. As long as she struck the right balance, Liu Ruyan believed Ye Tian would be seduced by her beauty.

After watching his master perform the entire Five Elements Needle Technique in the hospital room, Ye Tian waited for the medicine to be prepared while trying to recall the techniques and characteristics of the needles his master had just used. He could understand parts of the metal, water, and fire elements, but he still couldn't grasp the wood and earth elements.

Zhuge Qi had once told Ye Tian that only through self-comprehension could he understand the mysteries of the Five Elements Needle Technique. If his master guided him step-by-step, Ye Tian would never learn the essence of this technique. Learning it was easy, but mastering it was not.

"What are you thinking about now?"

Zhuge Qi couldn't help but ask, seeing Ye Tian deep in thought. His refusal to guide him didn't mean he didn't care about Ye Tian, nor did it mean he was unwilling to let Ye Tian learn the Five Elements Needle Technique well. As long as he didn't reveal too much, he could offer timely hints.

Ye Tian opened his eyes and looked at his smiling master, puzzled. "Why can I master the three elements of water, fire, and metal, but I still can't grasp the mysteries of wood and earth?"

Mastering the Five Elements Needles is a gradual process, learning one element at a time. It's not about learning all five elements at once. Only after mastering one can one comprehend the mysteries of the next element. Ye Tian felt he understood metal, water, and fire, but he couldn't move on to the next.

Wood and earth were like two mountains blocking his way; if he couldn't overcome them, he would remain forever outside.

"There's only one possibility! It means you haven't truly mastered those three Five Elements Needles. Once you truly learn them, you'll naturally understand the secrets of the next element. Don't limit yourself to a single element. Do you know why the Five Elements are so powerful?"

Zhuge Qi guided Ye Tian to open his mind. Ye Tian was currently stuck in a stalemate; without guidance, it might take him more than half a year to figure it out on his own.

Zhuge Qi wasn't even sure if he could return to America safely. Six months was enough time for many things to happen. He only wanted Ye Tian to grow and improve quickly, so that even without his protection, Ye Tian could handle any hardship.

However, the contradiction was that Zhuge Qi couldn't be too explicit; he absolutely couldn't force Ye Tian to grow too fast.

"All things in heaven and earth have the Five Elements. The Five Elements generate and restrain each other. Once you understand the meaning of the Five Elements, you will naturally be the most powerful in the world!"

Ye Tian had firmly remembered these words when his master first explained the Five Elements to him, and years later, they were still etched in his mind.

Zhuge Qi smiled and shook his head. "Saying it is one thing, but doing it is another. What you just said isn't wrong, but what about in actual application? Whether in battle or healing, you need to flexibly apply the characteristics of the Five Elements!"

Ye Tian knew his master was giving him guidance. After listening to his master's words, Ye Tian silently repeated them twice in his mind, then closed his eyes and began to ponder.

Flexibly apply? What exactly constitutes flexible application? I've only learned three of the five elements—

metal, water, and fire—so I can't possibly achieve the same effect as my master just now. Only by learning all five elements can you use them at will; right now, I've only learned three: metal, water, and fire!

Water and fire?

Does Master mean I should flexibly combine the two opposing elements of water and fire?

"I understand, Master. You mean I shouldn't limit myself to a single element, but should also utilize the generating and restraining attributes, and even do the opposite, right?"

Ye Tian asked excitedly.

Zhuge Qi chuckled, "You're not completely stupid, kid. Figure out the rest yourself. I've already taught you what I can. What I can't teach you, I'll teach you when you're capable of learning. If I'm suddenly gone one day, go to the basement of the house I live in in America. All the treasures of our Divine Needle Sect are there!"

Zhuge Qi didn't know why he said these words. Since returning to China, he had a vague sense of unease. He wondered if his enemies already knew he had returned. Even if they hadn't come looking for him, Zhuge Qi felt that something bad was going to happen.

"Old man, what nonsense are you talking about? People say good people don't live long, but you'll definitely live a long life!"

Ye Tian laughed. Zhuge Qi glared at Ye Tian with a smile, "You rascal, are you indirectly insulting your master, huh!"

Ye Tian walked up to his master and said seriously, "Old man, you will definitely live to be a hundred! I'm not married yet, and I'm counting on you to officiate my wedding!"

Ye Tian lost his father, and the only person who held the same high position in his heart as his father was his master. Ye Tian sincerely hoped that his master would live forever.

"Married? You'll definitely be coming to officiate your wedding more than once, kid. Wouldn't that exhaust your master to death?"

Zhuge Qi discovered that three girls had fallen in love with Ye Tian in just one day after returning. Ning Luo was another story; apart from not having a marriage certificate, her relationship with Ye Tian was basically that of husband and wife.

Thirteen, who always argued with Ye Tian, had also fallen for him, though she hadn't realized it yet, but she would definitely find out later. As for the girl lying in bed now, Zhuge Qi had heard Ye Tian mention her when they were abroad; the two were deeply in love and it was impossible for them not to be together.

"The medicine is ready!"

Wang Ying said as she walked in from outside. Zhuge Qi and Ye Tian went out to check, and it had reached the consistency they had described—just the right thickness. Ye Tian poured a bowl of dark Chinese medicine and held it in a gauze bag, preparing to hand it to his master.

Zhuge Qi didn't immediately take it, but instead channeled his inner energy into his palm. Soon, Ye Tian saw wisps of cold air emanating from the center of his master's palm, followed by a thin layer of frost-like substance slowly condensing there.

"Give me the bowl!"

Ye Tian placed the scalding hot bowl of medicine in his master's palm, and heard a hissing sound. His master's hand wasn't burned, and the steaming medicine quickly stopped emitting heat.

Seeing Ye Tian's stunned expression, Zhuge Qi smiled and turned to walk into the ward. "

So the Five Elements can be used like this!" Ye Tian nodded knowingly .

Wang Ying, standing nearby, stared at Zhuge Qi's retreating figure as if it were a monster. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed such a thing existed.

A reclusive master, absolutely a reclusive master! Wang Ying was deeply shocked, speechless.

Ye Tian and Wang Ying then entered the ward. Zhuge Qi asked Wang Ying to help her daughter sit up. After Ye Tian pried open Cao Yan's mouth, Zhuge Qi slowly poured the medicine into it. Once it was almost full, he said, "Give her some breathing, so she can swallow the medicine quickly!"

Ye Tian hesitated for a moment, but quickly did as his master instructed. He pressed on Cao Yan's chest, so Ye Tian felt a little embarrassed pressing his daughter's chest in front of Wang Ying, but Wang Ying didn't seem to care.

Ye Tian pressed his hand on Cao Yan's left breast a few times and channeled his internal energy. Cao Yan swallowed the medicine in her mouth quickly. After several times, the bowl of medicine was finished.

A few minutes later, Cao Yan's complexion gradually returned to its rosy color. Wang Ying was so excited by her daughter's change that her heart was pounding like a deer. But something even more amazing happened soon. Cao Yan's long eyelashes fluttered a few times and finally she slowly opened her eyes.

PS: Please vote for me. I hope that the brothers who have votes can support me. I have an old book that is about to be finished these days, so the updates are a little slower. I hope everyone can understand. The updates will be faster in the future!

Chapter 227, Stay with Me at Night (1)

Cao Yan's beautiful eyes were still so charming. Her big eyes seemed to be able to speak. She looked around and frowned. Everyone could read the look of confusion in her eyes!

"Yan Yan, you're awake!"

Wang Ying burst into tears of joy upon seeing her daughter awake. Even though her daughter had only been unconscious for a few days, Wang Ying was devastated. Her daughter was her heart and soul, her very reason for living.

Cao Yan, however, ignored her mother, blinking her long eyelashes and smiling slightly at Ye Tian. "Xiao Tian, what are you doing here? Why aren't you at school? Oh… I know, you little rascal, you skipped class again, didn't you!"

The three people in the ward were stunned. Cao Yan didn't seem to be joking; her eyes were bright and sincere as she looked at Ye Tian, yet her tone was that of a teenage girl.

What was going on? A sense of unease arose in all three of their minds simultaneously!

Wang Ying touched her daughter's clothes and leaned closer to her. "Yan Yan, don't scare Mom. What's wrong?"

"Mom?"

Cao Yan looked at Wang Ying with a completely different expression than when she looked at Ye Tian. She paused, then smiled and said, "Auntie, please don't joke around. You and my mom do look a bit alike, but my mom isn't as old as you. Xiao Tian, who is this auntie? And why am I lying in the hospital?"

Cao Yan's words pierced Wang Ying's heart like a knife. Her daughter didn't recognize her! Wang Ying continued to ask in disbelief, "Yan Yan, look carefully. I'm your mom!"

Ye Tian frowned. Actually, he knew Cao Yan wasn't joking when she first spoke. Ye Tian remembered when he was in junior high school, he got into a fight with a group of people. There were several of them, and he only had himself and Zhao Yuan. They were surrounded and beaten up. Later, when Cao Yan found out, she joined the fight with Ye Tian. Although she was a girl, she was exceptionally brave in protecting Ye Tian.

Just as someone struck Ye Tian's head with a wooden stick, she bravely shielded him with her back, which landed her in the hospital, and she remained unconscious for a long time before waking up.

Cao Yan's memory seemed to be stuck in that period, when Ye Tian was in the first year of junior high school and Cao Yan was in the third year—at least ten years ago.

Cao Yan looked at Wang Ying, but still felt incredibly unfamiliar. Although Wang Ying didn't look old, she couldn't compare to herself ten years ago. As her daughter, her familiarity with the present was naturally unmatched by outsiders; she would quickly notice even a single wrinkle at the corner of her mother's eye.

This woman looked very much like her mother, but Cao Yan didn't believe she was her mother.

"Auntie, please don't joke around. Do you think I don't know what my mom looks like? I'll get angry if you keep this up!"

Cao Yan turned to Ye Tian, her expression immediately changing. She said softly, "Xiao Tian, please don't tell my mom about my hospitalization, and don't let it slip to the school either. I'll be discharged as soon as I feel better."

Cao Yan still thought of herself as that middle school student from back then; in her current memory, only Ye Tian was still the same Ye Tian.

Wang Ying got up and asked Zhuge Qi to go outside. After leaving the ward, she asked Zhuge Qi with red eyes, "Grandpa Zhuge, has my Yan Yan... lost her memory?"

"Yes, this was also unexpected. I didn't expect the Hundred Elixir to have such a side effect. Fortunately, your daughter hasn't forgotten everyone; at least she remembers Ye Tian. It may take some time for your daughter to recover. For now, it's best to go home and rest well, and try not to agitate her!"

Amnesia cannot be cured; it can only be recovered slowly on its own. Maybe it will be fine in a day or two, maybe it will take a month or two, maybe it will never be recovered—anything is possible.

Wang Ying had thought everything would be fine once her daughter woke up, but her daughter had lost some of her memories. Her heart, which had just settled, was now filled with anxiety again!

"Thank you, I understand!"

Wang Ying nodded gratefully to Zhuge Qi, thanking him for waking her daughter up, no matter what.

Back in the ward, Wang Ying watched her daughter chatting and laughing with Ye Tian, but her daughter immediately became wary when she entered. This feeling was unpleasant. She went out, put on her white coat, and took Cao Yan for another full-body checkup. Only after confirming everything was alright did she help her get discharged.

Outside the hospital, Cao Yan felt like a bird released from its cage, feeling incredibly free.

“Xiao Tian, so that auntie was a doctor! She really does look a lot like my mom. Let’s leave quickly, or she’ll worry if she finds out I’m in the hospital.”

Cao Yan knew her mother had a hard time raising her alone, so she didn’t want her to worry.

“Sister Yan, can I take my master home first, then we can go to your house?”

Ye Tian didn’t dare leave Cao Yan now; she didn’t know anyone else besides him.

“Okay!”

Cao Yan looked at Zhuge Qi and whispered to Ye Tian, “Xiao Tian, when did you get a master? I didn’t know.”

“Sister Yan, I’ll explain later! Wait here, I’ll go get the car!”

Cao Yan was stunned, looking at Ye Tian’s back, and murmured to herself, “Huh? When did Xiao Tian learn to drive? I have no recollection of it. And he seems to have grown quite a bit taller!”

“Girl, do you like Ye Tian?”

Zhuge Qi asked with a smile.

Cao Yan blushed and glared at him playfully, "Mind your own business!"

Zhuge Qi wanted to test the depth of Cao Yan's feelings for Ye Tian. If they were deep enough, he might be able to use extreme methods to restore Cao Yan's memory. People only lose their memory when they suffer a major blow; subconsciously, they want to escape reality and selectively forget certain things.

If they receive a strong stimulus, they might recover that buried part of their memory, but doing so is also dangerous; they might even forget their current memories.

Ye Tian quickly drove up, and Cao Yan took the passenger seat first. She didn't want to sit in the back with that old man who liked to pry into people's privacy.

"Master, I'll take you home first, and after I'm done here, I'll go back and take you to Wansong Cemetery to see Grandpa Situ!"

His master had already cured Cao Yan and would probably be leaving soon. Ye Tian wanted to spend more time with his master, but he couldn't leave Cao Yan behind. He planned to take Cao Yan home and put her to sleep before going back himself.

Wang Ying had already taken leave from the hospital and decided to go home and dress up to look younger, hoping her daughter would recognize her as her mother.

"No rush, you take care of this girl's matter first. I'll go see Old Lei before I leave tomorrow!"

Zhuge Qi planned to return to America tomorrow; every extra day he stayed here increased the danger for Ye Tian.

Ye Tian hadn't expected his master to be in such a hurry to leave. "Old man, you've finally come back once in a while, wouldn't it be better to stay a few more days?"

"There will be plenty of opportunities later. You should understand some things even if I don't say them. Every extra day I'm here increases your danger. Do you think I can stay here with peace of mind?"

Although Zhuge Qi was unfathomable, he wasn't capable of taking on a hundred people single-handedly, especially since several of his enemies were old men of similar strength.

Those people didn't know that Zhuge Qi had taken on a disciple. If Ye Tian's identity as their disciple were exposed, they certainly wouldn't let the opportunity slip by easily.

Ye Tian nodded silently, knowing that his master was just that stubborn; once he made up his mind, it was hard to change it. Besides, what his master said was true. If his master's enemies came, he would not only be unable to help but would also be a burden to his master.

After sending his master back to his home, Ye Tian prepared to leave, but Zhuge Qi asked him to wait. Zhuge Qi went inside and quickly took out a yellowed ancient book. "This is the Dual Cultivation Manual. Keep it safe and always carry it with you. If you are unable to protect it, it is better to destroy it than to let it fall into the hands of outsiders."

Zhuge Qi originally intended to just have Ye Tian memorize it, but the Dual Cultivation Manual not only contained text but also illustrations. If he memorized it incorrectly, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, after much consideration, Zhuge Qi finally decided to give the Dual Cultivation Manual to his disciple.

Chapter 228 Erotic Illustrations

Ye Tian held the Dual Cultivation Manual in both hands. It wasn't very heavy, just a thin book, but it felt incredibly heavy to him. This was the second most prized manual of the Divine Needle Sect. The most valuable part was, of course, the Five Elements Secret Manual, the foundation of the Divine Needle Sect's mutual cultivation and the lifelong secret of its founder.

"Master it as soon as possible. After that, put this Dual Cultivation Manual away safely. Remember, never divulge it. It's divided into male and female dual cultivation sections. You only need to cultivate the male section. You can pass on the female section to the girl you cultivate with."

Dual cultivation is a matter for two people. If Ye Tian only cultivates the techniques in the Dual Cultivation Manual, the effect will be less than half that of cultivating with both men and women. Zhuge Qi was worried that Ye Tian was being too careless, so he told him he could pass on the female section.

Zhuge Qi believed that Ye Tian wouldn't casually pass it on to other women; he would only pass on such things if he gained Ye Tian's trust.

"Don't worry, old man, I'll take better care of you than my own life. Don't let him sneak away alone. You must wait for me to come back," Ye Tian said, somewhat worried that he might have already left his master.

Zhuge Qi smiled, "I'm too old for that kind of trouble. I'll rest for a day and then we'll talk about it. I won't leave," Zhuge Qi said, though he didn't mean it. He had already planned to leave.

Ye Tian nodded, turned the car around, and drove out of the residential area. Just after Ye Tian left, Zhuge Qi returned to the villa and rang the doorbell. Ning Luo was checking job postings online. Ye Tian had posted job information on several major recruitment websites, and unexpectedly, he had received over a hundred resumes in just two days, indicating that there were many job seekers.

However, Ning Luo was somewhat disappointed that most of the resumes were from nurses and staff in auxiliary departments; there were only four or five actual plastic surgeons, and most of them were young doctors.

Ning Luo was reviewing resumes when the doorbell rang. Thinking it was Ye Tian returning, she rushed out of her room to open the door, only to find Ye Tian's master, Zhuge Qi, standing there.

"You're back," Ning Luo smiled warmly and immediately invited the old man inside. She poured him a cup of tea. "Grandpa, would you like some tea?" "Do you get home every day?" Zhuge Qi shook his head. "No, he still has some things to take care of. The girl at the hospital... she's woken up, but there's a new situation. Her memory is only from when she was a teenager. She doesn't even recognize her mother, except for Ye Tian." Zhuge Qi didn't mention that Ye Tian had gone to visit Cao Yan. As someone with experience, he knew that if he told her the truth, her family would definitely be jealous. "Oh, there's something like that. That's really heartbreaking," Ning Luo, being a nurse, felt sympathy for Cao Yan's condition and didn't feel jealous or resentful towards Ye Tian at all.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll go make you some food now." Ning Luo checked the time; it was almost time to eat.

Zhuge Qi took a sip of tea, stood up, and said, "No need, I'm going out to see an old friend right away, so you don't need to cook for me. I probably won't be back tonight." Ning Luo didn't doubt Zhuge Qi's words; it was only natural for him to visit an old friend after returning to the country.

Zhuge Qi returned to the guest room, opened his suitcase, and took out two Youth Preservation Pills for Ning Luo and Thirteen. Ning Luo opened the wax seal and looked at the dark, chocolate-bean-like pills, not finding them particularly amazing, but still politely thanked him.

"Give the other one to Thirteen, girl. I'm leaving now, I'll come back tomorrow if I have time," Zhuge Qi said goodbye to Ning Luo, carrying his suitcase, and walked out.

Ning Luo frowned and thought for a moment, "It's not very convenient for you to carry a suitcase, is it? How about I have Ye Tian come back and drive you?" Ning Luo changed the subject, not really wanting Ye Tian to come back and drive Zhuge Qi, but feeling that something was off about Zhuge Qi. Why would she take a suitcase when going out to see a friend? "Hehe, no need, it's just gifts and some medicinal herbs for an old friend, not much." Zhuge Qi didn't expect Ning Luo to be so perceptive, but experience counts, and she quickly brushed Ning Luo off.

Hearing Zhuge Qi's explanation, Ning Luo's doubts quickly dissipated. She saw the old man to the villa gate, gave him a few instructions, and then returned home.

"Sister Ning, I think I just heard that old man come back, and he seemed to mention me." Thirteen was wearing a sexy tank top. She had just heard someone come back, so she was too embarrassed to get down, but after a while, the person left again. She vaguely heard Zhuge Qi mention her name.

"Yes, Master Ye Tian just came back. He said he was going to visit an old friend, so he took some gifts and went out. Oh, and Grandpa Zhuge gave me two Youth Preservation Pills, one of which is for you." Ning Luo handed the chocolate-bean-like Youth Preservation Pill to Thirteen.

Thirteen opened the wax seal on the Youth Preservation Pill and smelled it. A faint fragrance wafted out, mixed with the scent of Chinese herbs, but she couldn't identify the herbs. "Sister Ning, what do you mean by this?" Thirteen, unfamiliar with medicine, asked Ning Luo curiously.

Ning Luo shook her head. "Actually, I don't know much about traditional Chinese medicine, but Master Ye Tian wouldn't lie to us. It should have some beautifying effects, right? Anyway, let's keep it for now. It won't spoil, and we can take it when we're older." "I don't think it'll do any good for me. I'm already eighteen, but everyone says I look like a little girl. I wish I could take some medicine that could make me mature

," Thirteen said with some distress. Her doll-like face made it impossible for anyone to believe she was eighteen, and with her full breasts, she was the legendary "baby face and big breasts." "You should be content. So many women want to go back to eighteen, but you, little girl, always want to become mature," Ning Luo teased with a smile. "Could it be that you're having puberty?" When Ning Luo said this, she was startled. How could she say something so embarrassing? "It must be because I've been following that big pervert Ye Tian around all day and he's corrupted me," Ning Luo comforted herself in her heart.

Thirteen's face flushed instantly. "I never had such thoughts!" After Ye Tian drove the car out of the residential area, Cao Yan curiously asked him what dual cultivation was and what was in his dual cultivation manual. No matter how Ye Tian tried to change the subject, this girl wouldn't let it go and insisted on getting to the bottom of it.

"Xiao Tian, are you going to give it to me or not?" Cao Yan pestered Ye Tian for a long time, but he still wouldn't hand over the dual cultivation manual in his hand, and she was getting a little angry.

Seeing Cao Yan's pitiful look, Ye Tian's heart softened quickly, and he sighed and said, "Okay, I'll let you see it for a while, and give it to me right away." "Okay, I don't need you to give it to me, I'll just look at it for a little while." Cao Yan immediately smiled.

Ye Tian handed the dual cultivation manual to Cao Yan. He himself hadn't even had time to see what was inside, so he kept staring at the dual cultivation manual while driving. Cao Yan opened it and immediately blushed. The text on the Dual Cultivation Manual was written in traditional Chinese characters, many of which she didn't recognize. However, the lifelike illustrations were crystal clear. They depicted naked men and women engaging in intercourse, every detail meticulously rendered, even the woman's genitals were depicted with exceptionally clear lines—it was incredibly embarrassing!

Cao Yan's memories and thoughts were currently stuck in her middle school years, the most shy and innocent time of a young girl. Seeing the various explicit depictions of male-female intercourse, her face flushed, her heart pounded, and she quickly closed the Dual Cultivation Manual.

It took a while for Cao Yan to calm down, but the blush on her face hadn't completely faded, and she felt a burning sensation within her, her whole body aroused.

"Xiao Tian, you little pervert! You're so young and already doing bad things, watching this kind of stuff! It's so embarrassing!" Cao Yan rolled her eyes at Ye Tian and said coquettishly. This was the first time she had ever seen a naked man and woman; it was much earlier than in real life. Cao Yan had always been a model student and had never dated. It wasn't until she went to university that her body and mind matured, and she began to have needs and desires in matters of the heart.

But at that time, Cao Yan was only waiting for Ye Tian to return, so she couldn't have any other man in her heart. Only under the encouragement of her roommates did a few girls secretly watch Japanese films in their dorm on weekends. The first time they saw such films, they all blushed, and because the images were too shocking, they turned them off in less than ten minutes.

Now, Cao Yan's memory only extends back to her teens, so seeing Ye Tian's "Dual Cultivation Manual" was even more stimulating for her. Although she was very shy, everyone has curiosity. Cao Yan called Ye Tian a big pervert for watching such inappropriate things, but she had no intention of returning the "Dual Cultivation Manual" to him.

While Ye Tian wasn't paying attention, Cao Yan secretly glanced at the manual a few more times. Although Ye Tian didn't turn his head, he caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye. He found it quite amusing that Cao Yan had secretly opened the Dual Cultivation Manual; this girl had always been daring, doing things that many boys wouldn't dare to do.

The Dual Cultivation Manual contained 300,000 techniques, each with a corresponding illustration. Despite its antiquity, the paper and materials used for the illustrations were very unique, showing no signs of fading over time, appearing as if they had just been drawn.

Moreover, the illustrations were incredibly lifelike, even clearly showing private parts. Watching the people engaging in intercourse in the illustrations gave one a sense of being there, the intense sensation no less than watching Japanese adult films.

However, Cao Yan didn't notice something: a thin red line connected to the figures' bodies by red dots. That was the essence of the Dual Cultivation Manual—opening up all the meridians in the body to reach the pinnacle of cultivation. However, no one has ever mastered the Dual Cultivation Manual to its peak, not even the founder of the Divine Needle Sect who created it. Dual cultivation is a matter for two people; no matter how profound one's skill, it cannot be achieved alone. One must find a partner of equal strength to cultivate with.

The founder of the Divine Needle Sect was originally a physician. He and his wife were ordinary people living in a small mountain village, leading a peaceful life. However, the change of dynasties led to large-scale wars, and the village where the founder lived was also ravaged by war.

The village was burned, looted, and burned in the night, with countless deaths and injuries. The founder's wife was seriously injured, and their only son died in the war. To heal his wife, the founder went to the city to live in seclusion, treating her while practicing martial arts to prepare for revenge.

The founder changed his name and identity, starting from nothing, and his superb medical skills spread throughout the martial arts world. Countless people came to him for treatment, but the founder did not accept money, only asking those who knew martial arts to teach him or give him a secret manual.

Over the years, the founder's skills gradually improved. Knowing that a jack of all trades and master of none could achieve greatness, he combined the strengths of many schools to create his own unique style – the Dragon Roar Fist, the exclusive martial art of the Divine Needle Sect. Ye Tian also learned it, but only reached the third level; the Dragon Roar Fist has nine levels. Later, to treat his wife, the founder spent several years developing a martial art for both men and women to practice together – the Dual Cultivation Manual. Through joint practice, the founder's wife gradually recovered. However, unfortunately, because she lacked a foundation in martial arts, she didn't provide the founder with any significant benefit beyond physical healing.

"Sister Yan, have you finished reading it?" Ye Tian wanted to take back the Dual Cultivation Manual, not out of stinginess, but because letting outsiders know that Cao Yan had read it might cause her trouble in the future.

Cao Yan continued reading out of embarrassment, realizing she was experiencing a physical reaction—she felt wet and her body was tingling with pleasure.

"You stingy little thing, here you go," Cao Yan said, blushing as she returned the Dual Cultivation Manual to Ye Tian.

Ye Tian carefully tucked the manual into his clothes and solemnly said to Cao Yan, "Sister Yan, there's something you must promise me: never mention to anyone that you've read this Dual Cultivation Manual, okay?" As the saying goes, "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." If anyone knew Cao Yan had read the manual, they would definitely use all sorts of despicable means to force her to reveal its contents.

Of course, Cao Yan wouldn't tell anyone. She was even worried Ye Tian would. How could she possibly talk about seeing those erotic pictures of naked men and women having intercourse? "What do you think that's? You're afraid I'll tell others? I really don't know what you're thinking. Don't worry, I'd rather die than tell anyone," Cao Yan said dismissively.

Hearing Cao Yan say this, Ye Tian felt relieved. Cao Yan was currently in a state of semi-amnesia; perhaps she would forget about the incident by the time her memory fully returned.

Soon, Ye Tian drove to Cao Yan's apartment building. After parking, Cao Yan repeatedly told Ye Tian not to mention her hospitalization as they went upstairs. However, Ye Tian was uneasy, wondering if Cao Yan would still disown her as her mother once she returned home.

At the door, Cao Yan rang the doorbell. Wang Ying opened the door two minutes later. She was also very nervous; she had been home for over an hour. She took out a photo of herself from her youth and kept applying makeup in front of the mirror, hoping to look younger and recreate the appearance of her daughter in middle school.

Besides makeup, Wang Ying also took out several clothes she hadn't worn in years and changed into them. She carefully arranged the furniture and decorations in the house, and Longlong was taken to the neighbor's house. Wang Ying took a few deep breaths behind the door before opening it, smiling as she said, "Yan Yan's back, and Xiao Tian's here too." Wang Ying didn't dare smile too much, worried that her crow's feet would reveal her actual age. Although Wang Ying wasn't even forty yet, ten years ago she was only in her thirties, so Cao Yan's memory of her mother was from ten years ago.

"Yes, we're back from school." Cao Yan felt something was off when she saw her mother, but she still recognized her. "Mom, Xiao Tian's having dinner at our house today. Make some of his favorite dishes." "Okay, okay, I'll go cook now. Yan Yan, you play with Xiao Tian for a while, Mom's going to cook." Wang Ying was still a little nervous, not daring to stay with her daughter too long. What if her daughter didn't recognize her as her mother? That would be troublesome. Now that her daughter had amnesia, she could only indulge her in everything.

"Xiao Tian, let's go to the study and play some games." Cao Yan remembered that Ye Tian liked playing games, but Ye Tian's family wasn't well-off, especially after his mother left. So Cao Yan kept pestering her mother to buy a learning machine for studying, but actually she wanted Ye Tian to play games.

Ye Tian immediately felt overwhelmed. Those things from more than ten years ago were already obsolete. Unless you could find them at a flea market, the malls were full of newer and more advanced products, long replaced by Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, and other gaming consoles. Besides, there were fewer people playing video games these days; most young people played online games.

Ye Tian was worried that he would be exposed, so he hurriedly said, "Sister Yan, the game is fun, why don't we do something else?" "Then what do you want to do?" Cao Yan looked at Ye Tian in confusion. Isn't playing games his favorite activity? Why has he changed his mind now? Ye Tian looked back and took out the Dual Cultivation Manual. He said with a smile, "Sister Yan, why don't we study this?" Cao Yan's face turned red, and even her ears turned red. But Cao Yan finally nodded and agreed, "Yes, but don't let my mom know."

Chapter 230 Strong Stimulation (1)

Cao Yan didn't know why she agreed to Ye Tian. She knew that the Dual Cultivation Manual had pictures that made people blush and their hearts race, but she still couldn't help but want to take another look. Those things had a great attraction for Cao Yan now.

Upon entering Cao Yan's bedroom, Ye Tian noticed that the decor had been altered. The wedding photo above the bed was gone, and the sheets and blankets had been replaced with cartoon-themed ones favored by young girls. It seemed Wang Ying had put a lot of thought into it after returning home, even considering these details.

Cao Yan's memory wasn't very clear, so she didn't notice anything amiss when she returned to her room. In her recollection, Ye Tian had been to her bedroom several times, so she didn't find anything wrong with it.

"Xiao Tian, when did you become a disciple? What did that old man teach you, and why did he give you those kinds of books?" Cao Yan asked softly as soon as she entered the room, closing the door behind her. She had wanted to ask before, but she was too embarrassed to say it in front of Zhuge Qi.

Unable to explain, Ye Tian could only offer a perfunctory answer to Cao Yan. He took out the Dual Cultivation Manual and smiled, "Sister Yan, don't underestimate this Dual Cultivation Manual. It's our sect's secret technique, passed down only once. Actually, it's not what you imagine; there are other secrets within."

Ye Tian opened the manual and turned to the first page. The illustration showed a naked man pressing a naked woman beneath him. Although it depicted sexual intercourse, it didn't feel obscene; instead, it looked quite beautiful.

Each of the two figures in the picture had a tiny red dot at various meridian points, connected by a red line, though it was difficult to see without careful observation.

Seeing this naked image again, Cao Yan's face flushed again. She tried to look away, but her eyes wouldn't leave the manual.

"Sister Yan, what do you think these two are doing?" Ye Tian asked, pointing to the man and woman in the picture. He wasn't teasing Cao Yan, but rather testing whether she could see the true nature of the matter.

The essence of dual cultivation is not sex; sex is merely a process, not the goal.

All things in heaven and earth are divided into Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang are always complementary and mutually beneficial. Men are Yang, women are Yin, so when a man and woman unite, Yin and Yang are combined. At this moment, through special methods of cultivation—dual cultivation—one can achieve effects that other cultivation methods cannot. Cao Yan raised her small fist and lightly punched Ye Tian's fist, saying, "You pervert! Do you even need to ask? Aren't those two having sex?" Although Cao Yan didn't know what sex felt like in her current memory, a teenager already had a certain understanding of matters between men and women, albeit vaguely.

Ye Tian shook his head. "Sister Yan, look more closely. Did you notice anything on them?" Ye Tian wanted to guide Cao Yan to see if she had any talent in this area. If Cao Yan had such talent, Ye Tian might practice this dual cultivation manual with her.

Because the cultivation process provides intense stimulation, far more intense than the pleasure derived from simple sex, and Cao Yan currently needs this powerful stimulation to recover her memories. However, this is somewhat risky; not everyone can benefit from dual cultivation.

Some people become so addicted to the pleasure of dual cultivation that they lose sight of its essence, their power declining instead of improving. Ye Tian isn't worried about his own declining power, but rather about Cao Yan becoming addicted.

Everything has its limits; Cao Yan lacks martial arts foundation, and Ye Tian worries that prolonged immersion in dual cultivation could harm her body. After hearing Ye Tian's words, Cao Yan resumed examining the illustrations in the dual cultivation manual. She stared at them for a long time, still feeling she saw nothing. However, Cao Yan trusted Ye Tian; if he said there was something else, then there must be. So, even with her eyes bulging, she continued to stare.

About four or five minutes later, Cao Yan felt her eyes were blurring. The picture she saw gradually became blurry. Just as she blinked, she suddenly felt many small red dots appear on the man and woman in the picture. She thought she was hallucinating and blinked her eyes quickly a few times. The small red dots did not disappear. Instead, she saw a very thin red line connecting the small red dots.

"Huh, what's going on?" Cao Yan turned to look at Ye Tian, about to ask him, when she suddenly noticed small red dots all over his body, connected by red lines.

"Xiao Tian, I see many small red dots on your body, am I seeing things?" Cao Yan wasn't sure if what she was seeing was real or a hallucination.

Ye Tian was overjoyed to hear this. Cao Yan knew nothing about martial arts, yet she could see those meridians, which meant she had the potential to cultivate the Dual Cultivation Manual. "Sister Yan, then look at the next picture." Ye Tian, perhaps by coincidence, turned to the second page of the Dual Cultivation Manual. The intercourse position had changed again. The first picture was the most common man-on-top, woman-on-bottom position, while the second picture showed the woman-on-top, sitting position.

After staring at the picture for a while, Cao Yan noticed the red dots on the man and woman's bodies. "Here, here, they're everywhere, and there's a very thin red line connecting all those little red dots," Cao Yan pointed at the picture. Ye Tian knew most of the acupoints on the human body, so it was easy for him to see them. Cao Yan pointed them out correctly, meaning what she had just seen was neither a coincidence nor a hallucination. Ye Tian was excited because Cao Yan was suitable for cultivating the Dual Cultivation Manual, which might help her regain her memories. "Sister Yan, how about I teach you the skills in this manual? If you can learn these skills, you can not only strengthen your body but also delay aging. When you're in your forties or fifties, you'll still look as young as someone in their thirties." To persuade Cao Yan, Ye Tian used his trump card. No one loves beauty more than women.

Dual cultivation does indeed have the effect of delaying aging for women, but for the true purpose of dual cultivation, that's just a minor effect; there are countless other benefits. Cao Yan found the little red dots intriguing, but seeing the image of the woman intertwined made her hesitate. She asked shyly, "Xiao Tian, you...you don't mean you want me to have sex with you like in the picture, do you?" Ye Tian replied seriously, "Sister Yan, don't look at this dual cultivation manual with prejudice. It's just a process of practicing, not the goal. Besides, sex is a basic human need, just like eating and sleeping—it's an indispensable part of life."

Seeing the bewildered and shy Cao Yan, Ye Tian had no choice but to become her sex education teacher.

However, Cao Yan's mental age was only that of a teenager, and she was still embarrassed to discuss that kind of issue.

"Let me think about it," Cao Yan said, not wanting to refuse Ye Tian, yet also feeling awkward about having sex with him. She felt conflicted and needed to think it over carefully.

Ye Tian didn't force Cao Yan; after all, Cao Yan's thinking was different from her adult self, and she needed time to process it.

"Yan Yan, Xiao Tian, come out for dinner!" Just as the two were silent, Wang Ying called from outside. Cao Yan hurriedly told Ye Tian to put away the Dual Cultivation Manual, afraid her mother would see it.

Only after Ye Tian had put the manual away did Cao Yan lead him outside. The table was already laden with various delicious herbs. Ye Tian had long witnessed Wang Ying's culinary skills; her cooking was beautifully presented, fragrant, and delicious. Back abroad, Ye Tian had cooked for his father for a long time, but he still couldn't match Wang Ying's level.

"Yan Yan, would you like a cola or something else?" Wang Ying asked, heading to the refrigerator after serving the food.

"Xiao Tian, what would you like to drink?" Cao Yan treated Ye Tian like family, which was one of the reasons Ye Tian had fallen for her. Ye Tian lacked maternal love growing up and craved being pampered and cared for.

"I'll drink whatever Sister Yan drinks," Ye Tian said with a smile.

Cao Yan pouted and thought for a moment before saying, "Mom, can you get us two cans of Coke?" Wang Ying brought two cans of Coke for Cao Yan and Ye Tianren. "Yan Yan, it's the weekend tomorrow. How about Mom takes you to the amusement park?" Wang Ying hoped to help her daughter regain her memories, so she planned to take her to the amusement park she loved most when she was a child.

Chapter 231 Intense Stimulation (2)

Wang Ying somewhat overlooked Cao Yan's current situation. She had only lost part of her memory and was temporarily stuck in the third year of junior high school, which is about fourteen or fifteen years old. At this age, girls would not want to go to an amusement park. This age is the time when girls are in their prime, young and innocent, and their hearts are just beginning to open.

At this age, what boys and girls like most is being with their crush; everything else is secondary. Cao Yan was no exception. Hearing her mother say she was going to take her to the amusement park, she immediately pouted, "Mom, I'm not a child anymore, okay? What's so fun about amusement parks? Tomorrow, Xiao Tian and I will go shopping." Even if Cao Yan wanted to go abroad now, Wang Ying would accompany her without hesitation, let alone just go shopping with Ye Tian. "Okay, I feel at ease with Xiao Tian with you. Let Xiao Tian accompany you tomorrow. You're a good girl in every way, but I'm a little worried about you. You're so carefree, like a boy."

Cao Yan had always been carefree, and she hadn't changed much as she grew up. Only in front of Ye Tian would her daughter be a little more ladylike. As someone who had been through it all, Wang Ying knew that Ye Tian and Cao Yan had been in love back then, but they were both too young at the time.

Wang Ying had a good impression of Ye Tian. She had thought to herself that she would like her daughter to marry him in the future. She originally planned to try and match them up when they were older, but Ye Tian went abroad after graduating high school.

Only today did the two of them reunite, but then this incident happened to her daughter. "Really? Mom, don't talk nonsense, okay? I'm your daughter!" Cao Yan was a little embarrassed by her mother's comments about her tomboyish personality in front of Ye Tian.

Ye Tian, watching Cao Yan's shy appearance, almost lost himself in thought. Although Cao Yan couldn't compare to Ning Luo, she was definitely a great beauty, with a great figure. Most importantly, Cao Yan was still in the most innocent stage of her life, the time when Ye Tian was most infatuated with her.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore, let's eat," Wang Ying said with a smile.

"Xiao Tian, come here, have a chicken leg." Wang Ying still always put the best food on his plate, just like ten years ago. A child without a mother is like a blade of grass. Wang Ying and Ye Tian's father were colleagues, and she knew that Ye Tian's mother had left when they were very young, so she felt especially sorry for him. Back then, Ye Tian was thin and small, a pitiful sight.

"I want some too!" Wang Ying was about to put the chicken leg she was holding into Ye Tian's bowl when Cao Yan snatched it away. She wasn't jealous that her mother was putting food on Ye Tian's plate; she just liked to deliberately steal his food.

Cao Yan put the chicken leg in her own bowl, took a small bite, and then cheerfully handed it to Ye Tian, "Xiao Tian, here, Sister Yan is giving you a chicken leg." Back then, Ye Tian almost always encountered this situation whenever he ate at Cao Yan's house. He was still young and embarrassed to eat food that a girl had eaten, so Cao Yan always forced him to eat what she had already eaten.

This time, Ye Tian didn't hesitate. He took the chicken leg Cao Yan handed him and started eating it heartily, looking quite pleased with himself. "It smells so good!" Ye Tian said, but Cao Yan seemed to interpret it differently. She thought Ye Tian was flirting with her in a double entendre, especially in front of her mother. This made Cao Yan blush and feel embarrassed, but she couldn't refute him.

"When did this kid Ye Tian become so bold? Humph, he dares to flirt with me in front of my mother. I'll definitely teach him a lesson after dinner," Cao Yan secretly decided. Ye Tian was still happily eating his chicken leg, completely unaware of what was going on.

"Mom, I'm full." Cao Yan put down her chopsticks after eating a little and said to Ye Tian, "Xiao Tian, I'll wait for you in the study. Come over as soon as you're done eating." "Okay, Sister Yan, I'll come right away." After Cao Yan left, Wang Ying's smile gradually faded, and she sighed, "Sigh, I wonder when this girl will recover. It's not good for her to always be living in the past. I don't care about myself, but I'm worried about dragging you down." "Aunt Wang, please don't say that. You and Sister Yan treated me like family back then. Now is the time for me to report back. If you need anything, just say so. Don't be polite with me." Ye Tian paused, intending to tell Wang Ying about his dual cultivation with Cao Yan. "Aunt Wang, there's something I want to discuss with you."

Ye Tian was a little unsure whether Wang Ying would agree to his dual cultivation with Cao Yan, since Cao Yan's mindset was that of a teenager.

"What is it?" Ye Tian thought for a moment before slowly revealing his thoughts. He told her about the Dual Cultivation Manual, but he didn't go into details, only mentioning that there was a technique for dual cultivation that could enhance one's physique and produce intense pleasure during the process.

Cao Yan needed strong stimulation to regain her memories. Wang Ying felt a little embarrassed after hearing Ye Tian's words, after all, she and he had made love in the hospital room that night, and now her daughter wanted to do it with Ye Tian as well. Wang Ying felt quite awkward.

However, she couldn't think of any other good method besides Ye Tian's suggestion. In the end, she decided to let Ye Tian try it. Anyway, her daughter had feelings for him, and Cao Yan was no longer a virgin. "Then you can try it." With Wang Ying's approval, Ye Tian wasn't excited, but felt the burden on his shoulders was even heavier. To create an

opportunity for Ye Tian and her daughter, Wang Ying packed up her things after dinner and told her daughter that she was going out to visit someone, and then left.

Ye Tian entered the study and saw Cao Yan staring blankly at the computer. "Sister Yan, what are you thinking about?" "Xiao Tian, how come we have a computer at home? Why don't I remember buying this?" Ten years ago, computers were still a rarity; not every household had one, and they weren't cheap. Cao Yan only remembered that she had begged her mother to buy her a learning machine, just so Ye Tian would come to her house more often. "Oh, this? You forgot? The school is offering computer classes, so Aunt Wang bought one for you," Ye Tian said haphazardly.

Cao Yan was skeptical but didn't take it too seriously. She turned to look at Ye Tian and scolded, "You little rascal, were you doing this on purpose during dinner?" "What do you mean, 'on purpose'?" Ye Tian had no idea what Cao Yan was referring to. "Don't play dumb with me! Humph, did eating the chicken leg I ate taste so good? And you even said it in front of my mom! Aren't you ashamed?" Cao Yan blushed and scolded him.

So that's what Sister Yan was talking about. Ye Tian smiled and said, "Sister Yan, what are you thinking? I was just saying the chicken legs smelled good, nothing else. Your imagination is amazing." After realizing she had misunderstood Ye Tian, Cao Yan immediately changed the subject. "Xiao Tian, do you think I have the potential to cultivate that kind of kung fu?" Cao Yan didn't know why she had become interested in kung fu. Although she had a carefree personality, she had never liked anything involving swords and spears before, and she was even too lazy to learn to dance. But now, Cao Yan had a strong subconscious urge to learn kung fu. Ye Tian nodded, "Yes, of course it's true, Sister Yan. If you want to learn, I can teach you right now." Cao Yan blushed at the thought of having to strip naked to practice that kung fu. After considering it for a while, she nodded, "I'll learn, but you can't tell my mom about this. Don't let her know."

Ye Tian had originally planned to coax Cao Yan, but since she had taken the initiative to ask to learn, he was naturally willing to teach her. Afterward, Ye Tian took Cao Yan back to her boudoir. Ye Tian took out the Dual Cultivation Manual and read through the incantation of the first chapter, "Jade Maiden Scripture," before explaining it to Cao Yan in detail. After listening, Cao Yan became even more interested, feeling that this Dual Cultivation Manual was indeed more than just erotic pictures.

After more than half an hour of explanation and questions, Ye Tian was certain that Cao Yan had memorized the contents of the first chapter, "Jade Maiden Scripture," and decided to give it a try.

"Sister Yan, try not to think about matters of men and women while cultivating. Calm your mind and follow the incantation. I will assist you." Ye Tian's mind was now free of distractions. Once a person has conviction, they will truly enter a state of emptiness. Ye Tian's conviction at this moment was to help Cao Yan quickly regain her memories.

Chapter 232 First Dual Cultivation

Cao Yan knew nothing about martial arts and could only rely on Ye Tian's guidance. However, she was quite interested. Looking at the images of men and women interacting in the Dual Cultivation Manual, she no longer felt shy as before, but regarded it as a method of martial arts cultivation.

"Okay, let's begin now." As soon as Cao Yan finished speaking, she took the initiative to take off her clothes. She knew very well that to cultivate this Dual Cultivation Manual, men and women had to engage in sexual intercourse to complement each other's yin and yang. However, she was still a little nervous and shy about taking off her clothes in front of Ye Tian.

When she was stripped down to her underwear, her face flushed uncontrollably. Cao Yan's mental age was ten years ago; back then, she was just a young girl experiencing her first stirrings of love. Taking off all her clothes in front of Ye Tian required a lot of courage.

Cao Yan lowered her head shyly, but suddenly noticed something incredible: her breasts had become so full and mature, and her underwear was so sexy. Ye Tian secretly glanced at her and found that he wasn't staring at her breasts lewdly, but was reading a dual cultivation manual. Immediately, she felt much less pressured. "Xiao Tian, could you turn around?" Although Cao Yan was still wearing her underwear, her body was stiff. She was worried that Ye Tian would suddenly look at her when she took off her underwear, which would make her feel extremely ashamed.

Ye Tian didn't think much of it, nodded, and turned away. He only hoped to give Cao Yan a strong shock, so that she could regain her memory as soon as possible. Although Cao Yan was still Cao Yan, Ye Tian didn't want her to only remember her past self. He wanted her to return to reality and face what she needed to face as soon as possible.

Cao Yan was still a little embarrassed standing behind Ye Tian. She turned around and reached behind her to unhook her bra, revealing her full breasts. Seeing how full her breasts were, Cao Yan felt very embarrassed.

Soon, Cao Yan stood naked behind Ye Tian, one hand covering her chest and the other covering her private parts below her abdomen. She asked Ye Tian shyly, "I'm ready, what's next?" Ye Tian had already memorized the first chapter of the Dual Cultivation Manual, "The Jade Maiden Scripture." The first chapter of the Dual Cultivation Manual was the woman's chapter, meaning that the woman should take the lead. Ye Tian's role was simply to assist Cao Yan.

"Sister Yan, you must remember, don't let your mind wander when we practice." The process of practicing is not as wonderful as imagined. Dual cultivation is not just about men and women having sex; like other martial arts, there is a possibility of going astray.

Ye Tian believed that there were definitely more than just their Divine Needle Sect's dual cultivation manual in the world, but he had never heard of anyone who had mastered it to a very high level. This showed that dual cultivation was not so easy to master; it was easy to get started but difficult to master. "Oh, I know," Cao Yan understood Ye Tian's meaning. He was just afraid that she would become addicted to the sensual experience and not be able to extricate herself. How could that be? They were practicing martial arts, not just having sex. What was this little rascal thinking? Ye Tian didn't say anything more and quickly took off his clothes. Instantly, a mature male body was displayed in front of Cao Yan. His strong muscles were clearly defined, especially his chest muscles, abdominal muscles, and V-line, all of which exuded masculinity, making Cao Yan, who was seeing a man's body for the first time, blush and her heart race.

Especially when Cao Yan saw Ye Tian's enormous member, her heart nearly leaped into her throat. "How can it be so big?" she thought. Ye Tian, unaware of Cao Yan's thoughts, pointed to the bed. "Eyes, let's begin. You must concentrate, absolutely no distractions," Ye Tian repeatedly instructed Cao Yan. Although he desperately wanted to help Cao Yan regain her memories, he couldn't sacrifice safety for the sake of small gains.

Since the first chapter of the Dual Cultivation Manual was the Jade Maiden Scripture, which focused on the woman, Ye Tian was only assisting. He took the lead, getting onto Cao Yan's bed and sitting cross-legged. Before practicing, he needed to warm up and calm his mind.

Although Ye Tian wasn't as aroused as Cao Yan, he was still a normal man. It was impossible for him not to react to a beautiful woman standing naked before him; he simply had strong self-control. Otherwise, his member would have already been erect.

Cao Yan followed suit, getting onto the bed and sitting cross-legged in front of Ye Tian. Once they were seated facing each other, Ye Tian began to instruct Cao Yan, teaching her how to adjust her breathing, how to coordinate their movements, and so on.

As Ye Tian explained, Cao Yan's excitement gradually subsided, and she closed her eyes, earnestly trying to calm herself.

"Qi sinks to the dantian, yin and yang harmonize, baihui gathers at the crown, and the cycle repeats itself," Ye Tian recited the mantra of the Jade Maiden Chapter. He had Cao Yan repeat it several times until she had completely memorized it before explaining the meaning of these mantras to her in detail.

Cao Yan currently has no internal energy, but she still needs to do it that way. The most basic step is to sink the Qi to the Dan Kou (lower abdomen), and only after calming the mind and gathering the Qi can she proceed to the next step. The Yin-Yang Harmony is even more obvious; it means achieving a state of union, and then channeling the internal energy Ye Tian transferred into Cao Yan's meridians, converging at the Baihui acupoint, and repeating this process.

As Ye Tian explained, Cao Yan became increasingly cautious. She closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing according to Ye Tian's instructions. After a few minutes, she indeed calmed down considerably, feeling no distracting thoughts.

"Xiao Tian, we can proceed to the next step," Cao Yan said, feeling ready to immediately move on to the next stage. She didn't know how long she could maintain her calm state of mind, so she wanted to begin before she became too excited. Ye Tian opened his legs and said somewhat nervously, "Sit on top." This was Ye Tian's first time practicing dual cultivation, and he had no idea what consequences it would bring to Cao Yan and himself.

Cao Yan noticed that Ye Tian's penis was already erect. She glanced at it, then quickly looked away, slowly moving forward to align it with her own before sitting down. It wasn't as painful as she had imagined, but it felt very full. Fortunately, Cao Yan was already wet, so she sat down smoothly.

Once their private parts were fully joined, a strong, stimulating sensation washed over her entire body. Cao Yan endured the pleasure, looked at the pictures in the Dual Cultivation Manual, and adjusted herself to the positions shown before stopping.

They remained joined but didn't move, then embraced each other, closed their eyes, and silently began cultivating.

Ye Tian whispered incantations in Cao Yan's ear to guide and assist her. Soon, Cao Yan entered a state of dual cultivation. She quickly felt a warm current flowing from Ye Tian's body into her own. Cao Yan focused her energy in her dantian, gathering all the energy Ye Tian had transmitted into her dantian.

As time passed, Cao Yan felt her dantian becoming increasingly swollen. Ye Tian could guess Cao Yan's current tolerance level and stopped when he sensed she could no longer bear it.

"Gather at the top of the head," Ye Tian reminded Cao Yan to proceed to the next step of the circulation. Cao Yan silently nodded, sending the qi from her dantian outwards, circulating through her meridians and gathering at the Baihui point on the top of her head.

Under

Ye Tian's guidance, Cao Yan progressed rapidly, mastering many things after being taught. Ye Tian was somewhat surprised by Cao Yan's talent in martial arts, having never discovered her excellent comprehension ability before.

The incantation and key points were taught only once, and Cao Yan had completely memorized them, able to complete them without Ye Tian's guidance. After circulating the qi for several cycles, Cao Yan gradually felt changes in her body. Now, with her eyes closed, she could clearly hear Ye Tian's and her own heartbeats, something that had never happened before.

Not only had her hearing improved, but her senses seemed to have become much more acute. Initially, she was somewhat distracted while interacting with Ye Tian, but she tried her best to control her desires and avoid thinking about those things in order to learn the dual cultivation technique, so she managed to suppress them.

But now, waves of pleasure were surging from below, and she was already wet before even moving.

This desire, once it arose, was impossible to suppress. Cao Yan felt her body gradually warming up, and the energy within her seemed to become hot and restless, like fire surging and leaping within her, making her unbearably itchy.

Ye Tian also felt his member enter Cao Yan's lower body and could clearly feel the changes within her.

"Sister Yan, what's wrong?" Ye Tian noticed something was amiss and immediately opened his eyes to ask Cao Yan. He saw that Cao Yan's face was flushed, as if she were drunk.

Cao Yan dared not look Ye Tian in the eye, and whispered softly in his ear, "Xiao Tian, I feel so uncomfortable down there." Ye Tian was initially startled, thinking something had gone wrong during her training. If it were truly discomfort down there, it would be normal. The benefits of dual cultivation weren't just in terms of strength; the intense stimulation during intercourse was precisely Ye Tian's initial intention in using dual cultivation to help Cao Yan recover her memories.

Cao Yan's endurance was limited. After several cycles of internal energy circulation, the energy that had passed from Ye Tian's body couldn't be absorbed, so she quickly withdrew from the meditation of dual cultivation. Now she needed to release it, hence the heightened sexual desire. Ye Tian reminded her, "Sister Yan, you can move now." "Mmm," Cao Yan murmured shyly, then closed her eyes, tilted her head slightly, hooked her arms around Ye Tian's neck, and slowly began to rise and fall.

"Ah!" After just two thrusts, Cao Yan felt an intense pleasure and the fullness that Ye Tian's penis brought her. Ye Tian also felt the warm, wet sensation below Cao Yan, enjoying her initiative with his eyes closed. Now that Cao Yan needed to release, she took the lead, and Ye Tian cooperated as best he could. Cao Yan hooked her arms around Ye Tian's neck and thrust vigorously, her full, mature breasts swaying with her movements.

After more than ten minutes, Cao Yan was exhausted, drenched in sweat, and breathing heavily, but she had no intention of stopping. The feeling was too wonderful, making her unable to stop, and even though she was very tired, she didn't want to stop.

"Ah, ah ah," Cao Yan moaned softly, biting her red lips and twisting her slender waist forcefully. Ye Tian's penis swayed left and right below Cao Yan, bringing an incomparably stimulating pleasure, even more exciting than usual sex.

Besides the intense pleasure, Ye Tian suddenly discovered that the internal energy he had initially lost during intercourse was gradually being replenished, and at an incredibly fast pace, far surpassing his usual meditative abilities.

Cao Yan stopped, panting, and said, "Ah, Xiao Tian, I can't take it anymore, I'm too weak, you take over." Ye Tian flipped over and pinned Cao Yan beneath him, lifting her snow-white thighs and penetrating her again. "Ah, ah!" Cao Yan groaned comfortably as Ye Tian thrust deep into her flower.

Ye Tian forcefully pounded Cao Yan's snow-white buttocks, his speed increasing, hoping to give Cao Yan the most intense stimulation. Soon, Cao Yan trembled all over, gripping the sheets with both hands, her expression one of unbearable pain. However, Cao Yan wasn't truly in pain, but rather experiencing immense pleasure.

"Xiao Tian, faster, I can't take it anymore, faster," Cao Yan murmured, sensing her climax approaching.

Ye Tian exerted all his strength in a final sprint, and the room was filled with the sounds of their thrusting. After two or three minutes of high-speed pounding, Cao Yan suddenly trembled all over, clenched her fists tightly to her chest, and let out a low cry, "Ah!" A hot, warm stream gushed out from Cao Yan's body. Ye Tian thrust a few more times and then reached his own climax.

Cao Yan's trembling didn't stop immediately; her whole body was still shaking, and finally she fainted. After Ye Tian got off Cao Yan, he checked her pulse. Everything was normal; she had probably fainted due to excessive excitement during their lovemaking.

While Cao Yan was unconscious, Ye Tian cleaned up the mess on the bed, dried her off, and dressed her. The sheets were soaked, so Ye Tian went to find new ones to change into.

"Sister Yan, you must regain your memory." After finishing the treatment, Ye Tian sat by Cao Yan's bedside, looking at the unconscious Cao Yan and silently said in his heart. If this dual cultivation still didn't work, Ye Tian didn't know what to do. Ye Tian didn't dare to force Cao Yan to wake up, worried that it would backfire, so he could only silently stay by Cao Yan's side. However, nearly an hour passed and Cao Yan still did not wake up. Ye Tian looked up at the window. It was already dark outside. He wondered if his master was still waiting for him to return home.

Ye Tian felt that his master was acting strangely today, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Just as Ye Tian was lost in thought, he heard the sound of a door opening outside. Soon after, Wang Ying arrived and knocked on Cao Yan's door, calling softly, "Yan Yan." Ye Tian immediately went to open the door. "Aunt Wang, Sister Yan is asleep. Perhaps she'll regain her memories when she wakes up." "Really? That's wonderful!" Wang Ying was overjoyed and rushed to the bedside to look at her daughter. The flush on Cao Yan's face hadn't faded yet. Wang Ying suddenly remembered that Ye Tian had mentioned practicing some kind of dual cultivation technique with Yan Yan, which must have just been done not long ago.

Wang Ying didn't know what dual cultivation was, only that it involved having sex, so thinking about what her daughter and Ye Tian had just done in the room, she felt a little embarrassed.

"Aunt Wang, I haven't finished speaking yet." Cao Yan's recovery of her memories is only a possibility, not a certainty. Ye Tian himself was uncertain, so he quickly explained, "Aunt Wang, I only said it's possible. As for whether Sister Yan can recover her memories, we'll only know when she wakes up."

Wang Ying was optimistic and smiled, "Since we've found a method, I'm not worried. If it doesn't work once, we'll try twice; if it doesn't work twice, we'll try three times. One day, Yan Yan will recover." As long as her daughter could recover, she didn't want to consider anything else. Even if she had to make love with Ye Tian a few more times, what did it matter? Ye Tian smiled bitterly. If only it were as easy as Wang Ying made it out to be. This method could only be tried once. Unless Cao Yan could cultivate the Dual Cultivation Manual to a higher level, he could continue to use this method to tease her. Otherwise, doing it a hundred times would be futile.

However, Ye Tian didn't say this aloud, not wanting Wang Ying to fall into despair again. He had finally found two glimmers of hope, only to have them extinguished immediately. Even she couldn't bear that. Ye Tian couldn't do that.

Suddenly, Ye Tian's phone rang. He took it out and saw it was a text message from his master: "Take care, your master is leaving." Upon seeing these words, Ye Tian immediately frowned. Why was his master leaving in such a hurry? Had he encountered enemies? The thought that his master might be being hunted down by enemies made Ye Tian restless. He looked up at Cao Yan, who was still unconscious on the bed, sighed inwardly, and said to Wang Ying, "Aunt Wang, let me know as soon as Sister Yan wakes up. Don't worry about whether she's recovered or not; I will do everything I can to heal her. I have some urgent business to attend to now." "Okay, go ahead, be careful on the road," Wang Ying said understandingly, seeing Ye Tian to the door before returning.

Ye Tian got downstairs, started the car, and rushed home. But then he realized something was wrong. His master had said he was leaving, so he must have gone to the airport. As Ye Tian drove to the airport, he called Ning Luo. When the call connected, Ye Tian anxiously asked Ning Luo, "Stepmother, has my master left?" "Yes, I was just about to tell you about this." Ning Luo had initially suspected that Zhuge Grandpa was trying to sneak away when she saw him with his suitcase, but he said he was taking gifts to visit an old friend, so she believed him. Now that she received Ye Tian's call, she knew something must have happened. "Grandpa took his suitcase home and said he was going to visit an old friend. He hasn't returned yet. Has something happened?"

Chapter 234 Voluntary Sacrifice (1)

Ye Tian felt a chill in his heart after hearing Ning Luo's answer. When Ye Tian left, he begged his master not to leave, but he didn't expect that the old man would still leave.

"Why didn't you say so sooner! Master has enemies all over the country, and those people are all highly skilled in martial arts. If they find out Master's whereabouts, it could be very dangerous for him!"

Ye Tian felt like his master was family. His master had finally returned to the country, only to leave in a hurry, and was constantly at risk of being ambushed by his enemies. Just thinking about this made Ye Tian's heart race.

Ning Luo didn't know things were so serious and felt a pang of guilt. "I'm sorry, Ye Tian, I didn't know your master was leaving. I just thought he was going to see a friend!"

Ye Tian didn't blame Ning Luo. He sighed, "It's alright, I'm not blaming you. I was just too careless. If... if my master goes back, let me know immediately!"

The possibility was extremely small, but Ye Tian still held onto a sliver of hope.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Tian rushed to the airport. Even if he couldn't see his master, as long as he could leave safely, that would be good enough. He was just afraid that his enemies would come after his master, which would be a real problem!

Ye Tian arrived at the airport around 8 PM. He rushed into the terminal and asked the ground staff what time the last flight to the United States was.

"Okay, please wait a moment while I check!"

The female staff member immediately checked on the computer and quickly found the result: "The last flight to Los Angeles today is at 8:20 PM, it just took off!"

"Just took off?"

Could it be that his master had already left? Ye Tian thought to himself. After leaving the information desk, Ye Tian was still a little worried. He ran to the electronic display screen to check all the flights to the United States that day, but they had all already taken off. Perhaps his master really had left.

Ye Tian breathed a long sigh of relief. As long as his master was alright!

Ye Tian walked out of the airport, took out his phone, and called his master's number again, but the phone was still switched off. Ye Tian was already used to his master's elusive nature. Back in the United States, his master often went out without saying goodbye, at most sending a text message.

Actually, Ye Tian wasn't really worried about what might happen to his master. No matter how powerful his master's enemies were, Ye Tian believed the old man could escape. As long as he wasn't surrounded by more than three experts of the same level, the old man would definitely be able to leave.

Ye Tian was just a little reluctant!

Returning home, Ye Tian found Ning Luo still waiting for him in the living room. He felt a warm feeling in his heart; the feeling of having a home was truly wonderful. Home wasn't just about a house; it also included a woman he loved.

Seeing Ye Tian return, Ning Luo quickly stood up and asked, "How is it? Did your master leave?"

If something had happened to Ye Tian's master, Ning Luo would definitely blame herself. Although it wasn't directly related to her, she felt that if she had told Ye Tian about Old Master Zhuge's departure earlier, the outcome might have been different.

Ye Tian saw the self-reproach in Ning Luo's eyes, walked over and hugged her tightly, comforting her, "It's alright, Master should be safe now. Sister Ning, I don't blame you, I'm just sad to see Master leave. When I was abroad, he taught me step by step. Everything I have today is thanks to Master, so he's as important to me as family!"

Ning Luo breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Grandpa Zhuge had left safely, and scolded, "Your expression really scared me to death! I thought something had happened to Grandpa!"

"No, Master is a lucky man, he'll be fine!"

Ye Tian said firmly. Although Master charged high medical fees, that was for the rich. He usually didn't charge the poor a penny when they came to him for treatment. Apart from being a little lecherous, Master was practically a philanthropist.

"Hey, you two don't need to be so affectionate. You're just chatting and you're hugging each other. Do you think I'm invisible or something?"

Thirteen appeared out of Ye Tian's room like a ghost.

Ning Luo quickly released Ye Tian, her face flushing red.

"Why are you running to my room instead of practicing your martial arts upstairs?"

Ye Tian didn't care at all that Thirteen had seen him and Ning Luo being intimate. This was his home, and Ning Luo was his woman. Hugging and kissing, even sleeping together, was perfectly normal.

Ye Tian thought that Thirteen, with her youthful face and large breasts, would leave once he returned to Mingzhu, but she hadn't shown any sign of leaving after living in his house for so long. Ye Tian didn't care about anything else, he just felt it was inconvenient that he and Ning Luo couldn't be intimate anytime, anywhere.

"Tch...you really are ungrateful!"

Thirteen muttered, "Do you think you can just send out job postings and then ignore them? Hundreds of resumes have been sent in, don't you think someone needs to check them?"

Thirteen had nothing better to do, so she spent her days helping Ye Tian guard his email, filtering out those she didn't like, compiling the contact information and characteristics of the selected candidates, and scheduling interviews for tomorrow!

"Don't misunderstand Thirteen. She's helped us a lot these past few days. She handled a lot of resumes while we weren't home!"

Ning Luo explained, worried that Ye Tian might misunderstand Thirteen.

"I've already made arrangements for you. There are over thirty people interviewing tomorrow. You can decide for yourself!"

Thirteen said, pouting. She had tried to help but was scolded. Thirteen felt she really shouldn't have come to Mingzhu.

The thought of the task Luo Shen had given her gave her a terrible headache. Offer herself? They were so in love, always together. She wouldn't even have a chance to seduce Ye Tian. Besides, Ning Luo was superior to her in both figure and looks; Thirteen wasn't confident at all.

"You've already made arrangements?"

Ye Tian asked, bewildered. "Where did you arrange it?"

He hadn't even rented the place yet. Ye Tian had originally planned to post job ads first and then contact people for interviews after he rented the space. But this girl's good intentions had backfired, causing him a considerable amount of trouble. Did he have to call them all to his house for interviews?!

"How would I know you were interviewing them there!"

Thirteen shrugged dismissively.

Hearing her so casually say that, Ye Tian felt an urge to rush over and spank her!

Ning Luo paused for a moment, then said, "Since we've already scheduled a time, why don't we hold a public interview at a hotel tomorrow? It'll be good to finalize things first. Doctors in the plastic surgery industry have a high turnover rate, so finalizing things sooner is a good idea."

This was a good idea, but the subsequent process needed to be expedited. "Here's what we'll do: I'll be in charge of the interviews tomorrow. You check where there are suitable venues for rent. The space doesn't need to be too big, a thousand or two square meters should be enough! Whether it's in a busy area or not doesn't matter. As long as we build a reputation, we won't be short of customers!"

Just like a hidden alley, Ye Tian deeply understood this saying. His master's clinic was located in a very small neighborhood in the US, but countless local Chinese people came to see him, and foreigners often came specifically because of his reputation.

"Okay, then let's divide the work!"

Ning Luo was decisive and efficient when it came to getting things done.

"Thirteen, go and send another message to everyone who's scheduled an interview for tomorrow. Tell them the interviews are at the Qiankun Hotel at 10 AM tomorrow."

The Qiankun Hotel isn't far from Ye Tian's home. Although it's not a five-star hotel, the environment is quite nice, and most importantly, it's conveniently located. Most people who've stayed in Mingzhu should know that.

"Okay, I'll help you out completely, but you have to give me six positions!"

Thirteen is going to be working long-term anyway, and she'd go crazy if she stayed home all day.

"Fine, the sweeping is your job!"

Ye Tian said irritably. Why is this special agent, instead of focusing on his missions, coming here to cause trouble? Ye Tian couldn't understand it.

Thirteen rolled her eyes and cursed, "Get lost! You're the one sweeping!"

After Thirteen went into Ye Tian's room, Ning Luo and Ye Tian discussed the details again until Thirteen sent out the message and went upstairs. Only then did they end their conversation.

"It's getting late, get some rest!"

Ning Luo didn't dare let Ye Tian sleep with her tonight, worried that she'd make it impossible for him to get out of bed.

Ye Tian didn't think much of it. He hadn't fully absorbed the internal energy from his dual cultivation with Cao Yan, and planned to consolidate it during the evening.

After returning to their rooms, Ye Tian took a shower and sat on the bed meditating. Although his dual cultivation with Cao Yan today was only at the initial stage, he hadn't expected to accumulate so much internal energy. He imagined how vast it would be at later stages; the Dual Cultivation Manual was truly extraordinary. In the latter

half of the night, Ye Tian suddenly heard footsteps approaching his room. He immediately became alert, got out of bed, and slowly opened the door a crack. He saw Thirteen, dressed in a sexy tank top, tiptoeing towards him!

Although there was no light outside, Ye Tian's eyes could still clearly see objects in the darkness. Thirteen's full, round breasts were partially exposed, and she was only wearing shorts, revealing her shapely, long legs.

What was this girl planning to do dressed so sexily?

Thirteen had no idea that Ye Tian was spying on her. She was extremely nervous and excited. This was the first time she had ever truly seduced a man. She had used similar tricks before, but those were just honey traps. Once she got someone over there, she could beat them up. But this time was fundamentally different. If she succeeded in seducing him, she would have to offer herself to Ye Tian.

Thirteen stopped at Ye Tian's door. She was hesitating whether she really wanted to give herself to Ye Tian.

Chapter 235 Offering herself (2)

The Tianlong Group is a special organization. The only way to stay there is to obey, obey, and obey some more. Of course, just being obedient without ability is useless. The tasks assigned by the higher-ups must be completed on time. The competition inside is fierce. If you don't do well, someone will immediately replace you.

Thirteen had been in Tianlong since she was very young, so she was used to the life and lifestyle there. If she were to leave Tianlong, she didn't know where she could go or what she could do.

But she was unwilling to offer herself to a man willingly. Although Thirteen's impression of Ye Tian had improved somewhat, she couldn't forget the first time they met, when this despicable guy had used the pretext of a medical appointment to look her up and down.

"What does this girl want?"

Ye Tian wondered, watching Thirteen secretly.

Thirteen stood at his door, dressed in a sexy halter top, lost in thought. Was she in love? But even if she was, this girl didn't like him, so she wouldn't come looking for him.

After careful consideration, Thirteen made up her mind and decided to try to persuade Ye Tian. She would test his limits first, see what it would take for him to join Tianlong, and then offer herself to him as a last resort.

After thinking it through, Thirteen slowly took two steps forward. Ye Tian quickly closed the door and hid behind it, watching to see what Thirteen was up to!

Thirteen reached the door and gently turned the doorknob. She found the door unlocked and opened it easily. Because the room and living room were dark, Thirteen couldn't see anything inside, only some vague outlines.

As Thirteen stepped into Ye Tian's room, a strange tension and excitement welled up inside her. She took a deep breath and slowly walked towards Ye Tian's bedside. Ye Tian, watching her every move from behind the door, suddenly had a bad feeling: "Does Thirteen want to get rid of me?"

Ye Tian already had a bad impression of Tianlong, and as for Luo Shen, he still couldn't figure out her attitude. He was grateful to her for helping him when he was bitten by a snake, but that was one thing; she couldn't possibly expect him to join Tianlong just because she saved him.

Later, the two of them had even ended up having sex in the bathtub by some twist of fate. Did Luo Shen want Thirteen to kill her to silence her?!

Just as Ye Tian was feeling uneasy, Thirteen reached his bedside. After a minute or two of adjusting, she could see the room clearly. She suddenly noticed the bed was empty. "Huh! Where's that guy?"

Thirteen lifted Ye Tian's blanket and touched the bed with her hand. It was still warm; he must have just left. She immediately thought that Ye Tian might have gone to Ning Luo's room next door.

"Calling him a pervert was definitely right! Staying up so late at night, he went to Sister Ning's room and messed around again!"

Thirteen was both ashamed and angry. She had finally made up her mind to test Ye Tian, struggling internally for most of the night, but she'd only come up empty-handed. The thought of Ye Tian and Ning Luo making love next door made Thirteen very unhappy!

Just then, Thirteen suddenly felt a gaze on her from behind. Without making a sound, she whirled around, only to find Ye Tian standing right in front of her. It was too late to dodge; Thirteen and Ye Tian collided, their chests pressed tightly together.

Ye Tian only felt two soft, elastic mounds against his chest. He hadn't expected Thirteen's breasts to be so impressive.

Thirteen felt Ye Tian's masculine physique, her heart pounding. She quickly took a step back, separating herself from him, her face flushed as she scolded, "Are you trying to kill me?! Is it fun to hide behind the door and scare people in the middle of the night?"

Being unreasonable and argumentative is a woman's nature, but Thirteen took it to the extreme. She was the one who came to Ye Tian's room in the middle of the night, yet she was turning the tables on him.

Ye Tian sneered, "I should ask you what you're doing in my room dressed like this in the middle of the night?"

If it weren't for her young age, Ye Tian would have kicked her out long ago.

Thirteen's face turned even redder. She felt this was the perfect opportunity to speak up and test Ye Tian's limits, "I...I, I want to sleep with you!"

Thirteen wanted to say she came to Ye Tian to have sex, but she couldn't bring herself to say the words.

"Want to sleep with me!"

Ye Tian's smile grew even colder. Suddenly, he growled, "Stop talking nonsense! Just say what you want. If you're trying to seduce me with your looks and body to achieve some goal, you'd better not even think about it. I'm not interested in little brats!"

Ye Tian vaguely guessed something from Thirteen's words, but he didn't know what she specifically wanted to achieve.

Thirteen blushed at Ye Tian's words. She had gone to great lengths to seduce him, only to be called a little brat who wasn't interested in her. Thirteen was furious. She puffed out her chest, presenting her proud breasts to Ye Tian, "You're the little brat! Can't you see how good my figure is?!"

Ye Tian glanced at Thirteen's full breasts and said in a deep voice, "As expected, big breasts, no brains. If you don't tell me, get out of here right now. I need to rest. I don't have time to play with you!"

Although Ye Tian was lustful, he wasn't very interested in girls younger than himself unless he could fall in love with them. But Ye Tian felt he had no chance of falling for Thirteen.

"Ye Tian, you big bastard!"

This was the first time Thirteen had been called a brainless jerk, and she was furious. If she weren't afraid of waking Ning Luo next door, she would have fought Ye Tian right then and there!

"Fine, you want to know the answer, right?"

Thirteen decided to go all out; success or failure depended on this. "As long as you join Tianlong, you can do whatever you want to me!"

Ye Tian immediately understood. So Luo Shen hadn't given up and was even sending Thirteen to seduce him! Ye Tian might have considered other things, but joining Tianlong was out of the question!

"Don't be so presumptuous. Go back and tell Luo Shen that I will never join Tianlong!"

Ye Tian rejected Thirteen without hesitation. Having experienced countless battles, Ye Tian was tired of that life of fighting and killing. Now, Ye Tian only wanted to build a family with Ning Luo and live a happy life.

He would investigate his father's affairs himself. If Tianlong wouldn't help, Ye Tian could find others. There were plenty of intelligence agencies in the world; with money, he could buy any kind of information.

"Why? I just don't understand. What's wrong with joining Tianlong? It'll only bring you benefits, no harm. With your skills, you'll definitely be highly valued!"

Thirteen persisted, trying to persuade him.

Ye Tian didn't care about fame or fortune. No matter how good Tianlong's treatment was, he wouldn't be tempted. Besides, there was one thing Tianlong couldn't give him: freedom!

Ye Tian loved a free and unrestrained life and didn't want to be bound. Joining Tianlong would inevitably mean many rules and regulations he had to follow, even restricting his dating life—something Ye Tian found utterly absurd.

"Perhaps you think Tianlong has given you enough, but everyone's values and outlook on life are different. What you value is worthless in my eyes, and what I want, you can't give me either. So don't waste any more time. Go back to your Tianlong!"

Ye Tian didn't hate Tianlong or Luo Shen; he simply disliked being controlled and even more so, disliked having his freedom restricted.

Thirteen was somewhat moved. Values? Outlook on life? Hehe, these things were distant and unfamiliar to her. She had been trained since childhood; good results meant food, while falling behind meant hunger. She didn't want to go hungry, so she had to work harder than others to get anything to eat.

At that time, Thirteen never considered why she needed to work so hard to achieve what ordinary people could do easily. Eating was a basic necessity for survival, but for her, it was an incredibly difficult task.

Long-cultivated thoughts and habits couldn't be easily changed. Thirteen felt very satisfied with what she had achieved today; she couldn't yet grasp the meaning behind Ye Tian's words.

"I won't give up!"

Thirteen looked at Ye Tian with unwavering determination, then walked out of his room. This failure didn't shake her resolve. (

Chapter 236, March

10th) Thirteen was young, and her personality seemed like that of a little girl who hadn't grown up. However, members of Tianlong couldn't be judged by ordinary standards. No one who could enter Tianlong was mediocre. Moreover, what Thirteen displayed wasn't her true personality; disguise was one of the essential abilities of all Tianlong members, including the disguise of personality.

Back in her room upstairs, Thirteen lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time. Her hands were behind her head, her face serious as she pondered. Gone was her earlier cheerful expression; she appeared unusually calm and mature.

After thinking for more than ten minutes, Thirteen still couldn't come up with an effective solution. Although she always said Ye Tian was lecherous, she knew in her heart that Ye Tian was also very cunning, and there was an unfathomable aura of danger about him—this was what Thirteen feared most.

Luo Shen's strong efforts to win over Ye Tian meant that she had also sensed something; otherwise, given her personality, she wouldn't be so persistent in demanding someone join Tianlong.

"Looks like I need to plan this carefully. If all else fails, I'll consult the strategist!"

Thirteen sighed inwardly. The strategist was Tianlong's strategist; he could always provide reasonable and appropriate solutions to any headaches Tianlong faced. However, that man had an eccentric personality and sometimes wouldn't even listen to Luo Shen.

Ye Tian, back in bed, also couldn't sleep. He was still worried about his master, wondering if he had really boarded the plane back to America.

Master had many secrets he kept from Ye Tian, and Ye Tian understood his master's intentions; the old man was worried about causing him trouble. For example, regarding his master's enemies, Ye Tian only knew that his master had many enemies, but his master never told him who they were, nor how powerful they were.

It seemed he could only ask his master again next time they met. During this time, he needed to quickly improve his strength; the more he improved, the more he could help his master.

Ye Tian couldn't sleep and didn't want to waste time, so he sat on the bed and meditated.

Late at night in Wansong Cemetery, Zhuge Qi sat before the grave of Old Master Situ Lei, holding a bottle of the old wine they used to love. This wine was now very rare, and few people had even heard of it. He had gone to great lengths to find such a bottle.

He poured half of it at Situ Lei's grave, and drank the other half himself, muttering to himself about old times. Zhuge Qi stayed at Situ Lei's grave all night. Although their relationship wasn't like brothers, old people often like to reminisce.

Besides a woman named Qian Rou, Zhuge Qi didn't have many close friends in the country. It wasn't that he was unpopular; it was just that he rarely ventured out. The successors of the Divine Needle Sect carried a mission, and it was this mission that prevented Zhuge Qi from living like an ordinary person.

He didn't want to pass that mission on to his disciple Ye Tian, so he had to complete it himself.

As the first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds, Zhuge Qi disappeared into Wansong Cemetery. He was on his way to find Qian Rou, the woman he had wronged years ago.

Zhuge Qi learned of Qian Xun's existence from Ye Tian and believed that Qian Xun was definitely connected to Qian Rou. Therefore, his first priority was to find Qian Xun; once he found her, news of Qian Rou would naturally follow.

Ye Tian meditated until dawn, waking up naturally at six in the morning. His biological clock was basically set at this time; unless he was extremely tired, he would wake up automatically at six. After getting up, Ye Tian exercised outside for almost an hour before returning home, taking a shower, and changing into a suit. He needed to dress formally for his job interview today.

Ning Luo and Thirteen also got up quickly. Thirteen looked listless, yawning as he went downstairs.

"Ye Tian, are you eating at home or out?"

Ning Luo wasn't sure if Ye Tian was in a hurry. If he had time, she would make breakfast; she didn't want to eat out, feeling it wasn't as hygienic as cooking.

Ye Tian checked the time; it was only a little past seven. "Let's eat at home!"

Ning Luo nodded and went into the kitchen to make breakfast. Thirteen came to the living room, turned on the TV, and plopped down on the sofa. She had completely forgotten about last night's events and wasn't embarrassed to see Ye Tian.

"Hey, I'll help you at the hotel later!"

Thirteen said without turning her head, watching the news.

Thirteen could act as if nothing had happened, but Ye Tian was wary, knowing that Thirteen's unusual kindness had an ulterior motive, so he refused her. "No need, it's just an interview. Besides, you won't be of any help."

"Who says you won't be of any help?"

Thirteen disagreed. "I can stand outside and call people in for you to go in for the interview!"

After thinking all night, although Thirteen hadn't come up with an effective way to win Ye Tian over, she discovered a little trick: Ye Tian was someone who responded better to gentleness than force. Perhaps a little coquettishness, a pitiful act, or a cute gesture might actually please him.

Thirteen felt she absolutely couldn't do anything as reckless as last night. Even if it was seduction, it couldn't be blatant; it had to be subtle and unintentional to be effective. Only by staying by Ye Tian's side would she have a chance to exert her influence. Therefore, Thirteen changed her strategy, deciding she had to use a combination of persistent pursuit and gentle persuasion.

Ye Tian pondered for a moment, realizing that going alone was indeed inappropriate. These days, who with even a little status didn't have a secretary or something to assist them? If he went alone to a recruitment drive with dozens of applicants, people would think his hospital wasn't powerful enough.

"Alright, it's settled then. Come to the hotel with me after breakfast!"

Ye Tian thought for a moment and said, "Remember, your role will be my secretary. Make sure you remember that, and call me Dean Ye!"

Thirteen turned around and said with a grin, "Okay, Dean Ye, is there anything else you need?"

"Ahem..."

Ye Tian imitated the affected mannerisms of those leaders and said, "Little Ten, go make a pot of tea!" Thirteen

rolled her eyes at Ye Tian, "You're the one with the surname Ten! Thirteen is just my code name!"

"By the way, what's your real name?"

Ye Tian then realized that he didn't know Thirteen's real name! Ye Tian knew that Thirteen was her code name, but she had never mentioned her real name. Of course, Ye Tian wouldn't ask, after all, her status was special.

Now that they were more familiar, Ye Tian felt that asking her name wasn't against the rules, and he wouldn't tell anyone else even if he knew!

Thirteen paused for a moment. She didn't even know her own name. She said softly, "My surname is Bai!"

This was something Luo Shen had told her. Luo Shen said that Thirteen was very young when she was adopted by the founder of Tianlong. There was a jade pendant on her with the character "Bai" engraved on it, so she guessed that Thirteen's surname was Bai.

"Little Bai!"

Ye Tian nodded. "Okay, I'll call you Little Bai in front of outsiders, but at home I'll call you Thirteen!"

Thirteen didn't respond to Ye Tian. She suddenly felt that having a name was a very happy thing, while she only had a surname and a code name.

Ning Luo quickly prepared breakfast. After the three of them finished eating, they went about their own business. Ning Luo searched online for several venue rental places, planning to inquire about the situation at each one. Ye Tian took Thirteen to the Qiankun Hotel.

After checking around, Ye Tian rented a medium-sized conference room. The price was reasonable, a little over a hundred yuan per hour. Ye Tian asked the hotel staff to make some simple arrangements, and it became the interview venue.

Those who received interview notices yesterday arrived before 10 a.m. Ye Tian started the interviews early. After Thirteen communicated outside, everyone was asked to enter the interview room in order of arrival. The first person to arrive was a girl in her early twenties, who was led into the meeting room by Thirteen.

"Dean Ye, this is Ms. Lü Wei, interviewing for the nursing position!"

Thirteen said politely. Ye Tian nodded, and Thirteen tactfully left, closing the door behind her.

Ye Tian sized up the girl in front of him. She was young, a little younger than himself, probably around twenty-one or twenty-two years old, with a pure and innocent appearance. According to Ye Tian's criteria for judging women, she scored six points.

The girl was surprised to see Ye Tian. She hadn't expected him to be so young. The thought that they were both young made her feel much more relaxed. She smiled faintly and nodded to Ye Tian. "Hello, Dean Ye, I'm here to apply for the nursing position. This is my resume, please take a look!"

Lü Wei bowed and handed the resume to Ye Tian. Because she was wearing a low-cut shirt, her two snow-white breasts were partially exposed when she bent over.

Chapter 237 Appearances Can Be Deceiving

Ye Tian glanced at the girl's chest and immediately looked away, picking up the resume Lu Wei handed him. The girl's resume was very ordinary; she graduated from a second-rate vocational college's nursing department and had changed hospitals five times in three years, averaging only six months at each hospital, indicating frequent job hopping.

Ye Tian's impression of this girl was quite average. After looking at the resume, he asked, "What do you think are your advantages compared to other nurses?"

The girl seemed very confident, always smiling. She didn't answer Ye Tian's question directly but leaned down, revealing her cleavage, and said seductively, "Dean Ye, I think my advantage is obedience. I do whatever the leaders say!"

This girl was quite bold, openly seducing Ye Tian. If Ye Tian were an older man, he probably wouldn't have been able to suppress that impulse. Unfortunately, the girl's looks and temperament didn't meet Ye Tian's standards, and more importantly, Ye Tian had never considered using his position to demand that his subordinates engage in lewd acts.

However, Ye Tian didn't seem surprised. In this materialistic age, he wouldn't be surprised by any kind of person. Ye Tian calmly looked at the girl in front of him, a cold smile on his face. "Oh? For example?"

Lü Wei thought Ye Tian was testing her limits. She chuckled and walked around the table to Ye Tian. Suddenly, she took Ye Tian's hand and pressed it against her chest, gently rubbing it. "Dean Ye, as long as you can give me enough money, I'll do anything you ask!"

Ye Tian flicked his wrist and pushed the girl away, saying in a deep voice, "Excuse me, we're recruiting nurses here, not prostitutes. You've come to the wrong place!"

To be honest, Ye Tian didn't dislike her promiscuity, but it depended on the profession. If you were a prostitute, being enthusiastic and flirtatious was fine; people would even say you had professional ethics. But Ye Tian was looking for nurses, people with a sense of responsibility and professional skills.

The girl thought Ye Tian, being young, would be easily seduced, but she was unexpectedly turned away. Looking at Ye Tian in astonishment, and realizing he wasn't joking, she quickly put on an innocent act, blushing and whispering, "I'm sorry, Dean, I... I really want this job. I acted impulsively just now. Please give me a chance!"

"Sorry, this place might not be suitable for you!"

Ye Tian felt there was no need to continue the interview and called out the door, "Next!"

The girl glared resentfully at Ye Tian, snorted, and walked out of the conference room.

Thirteen quickly brought in another girl, a little older than the first, probably around twenty-five or twenty-six years old. She was quite pretty, but seemed a bit reserved. Ye Tian's eyes lit up after looking at her resume; this girl had graduated from the Nursing Department of Mingzhu University with a bachelor's degree.

Nowadays, most nurses with bachelor's degrees work in top-tier hospitals, and very few go to private hospitals. Ye Tian asked curiously, "You graduated from Mingzhu University, so getting into a top-tier hospital shouldn't be difficult. Why did you choose to interview here?"

The girl had considered this question beforehand and immediately replied, "Top-tier hospitals are the ideal workplace for many people, but not everyone can get in. I don't have connections, and my family can't afford to give bribes or pull strings. Even if I got in, it would only be a temporary contract, so I thought it would be better to find a hospital with better pay."

Ye Tian nodded, agreeing with the girl's idea. People need to live, and the capital for living is the income from work. Ideals and aspirations are all nonsense without solving basic needs like food, clothing, and shelter.

Some people might think working in a big hospital sounds prestigious, but if you're not a tenured employee, the salary is much lower. Some people might stay there for the sake of face, while others might switch jobs to earn more money—that's normal. At least this girl was sincere and spoke the truth.

Ye Tian picked up her resume and looked at it. He noticed that it didn't list any work experience, nor did it boast about scholarships, being a model student, or serving as a class leader—the usual platitudes.

"You're special. People who have worked at top-tier hospitals would definitely make a big deal out of it on their resumes, but you haven't written anything. Why is that?"

Ye Tian asked the girl with a smile.

"I think those are things of the past, nothing worth writing about. It's like going to university; nobody cares about your high school grades. Everyone focuses on the present. As long as I perform well in my work group, I believe the leaders will notice."

After a few words, the girl's nervousness gradually eased, and she spoke clearly and persuasively.

"Song Yao, twenty-six years old!"

Ye Tian glanced at the girl's information on her resume and asked, "Are you married? Do you think work and love are contradictory?"

The medical industry is busier than other industries, and the schedule is unpredictable. For example, if a surgery comes in at the end of the shift, the nurse must stay with the doctor until the end, which could be an hour, two hours, or even three or four hours. Ye Tian asked this to see if she could handle the intense work pressure.

Song Yao shook her head and smiled, "I'm not married yet, so the director doesn't need to worry about overtime. Overtime is commonplace for nurses like us without permanent positions, as long as you don't delay your overtime pay!"

Song Yao had been working at a top-tier hospital for three or four years and was considered an experienced nurse, so she could easily handle Ye Tian's question.

Ye Tian thought this nurse was alright and nodded, "Okay, let's leave it at that for now. I'll give you an answer within a week!"

Song Yao stood up and nodded to Ye Tian, "Okay, thank you, Director Ye!"

Ye Tian had interviewed more than twenty people that morning, but only two or three were to his liking, a ratio of about ten to one. Their qualities varied, but some dared to ask for exorbitant salaries, demanding much higher monthly salaries than those in public hospitals.

Ye Tian wasn't a stingy person; as long as they performed well, he would raise their salaries even if his subordinates didn't bring it up.

After taking a sip of water, Ye Tian continued interviewing the remaining candidates. This time, a bespectacled, seemingly refined middle-aged man came in, but Ye Tian's first impression wasn't good. He was wearing a t-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops, looking nothing like someone there for an interview.

"Oh, I thought you were an old man. I didn't expect Dean Ye to be so young!"

The man in his early thirties laughed as soon as he entered, showing no politeness whatsoever. He pulled out a chair and sat down, and before Ye Tian could even ask a question, he said, "My name is Liu Wenjie, and I'm a plastic surgeon. I heard you're hiring, so I came to take a look. If I'm suitable, I'll work at your hospital."

Ye Tian was almost amused by this guy's words. It wasn't Ye Tian choosing the candidates, but the man choosing the hospital, ready to work if he was suitable? He certainly had a big mouth, but Ye Tian wondered how much he actually knew.

"Don't you have a resume?"

Ye Tian asked, noticing his empty hands.

The middle-aged man scoffed, "What would I need that thing for? Do you even believe what's on it? Let me tell you the truth, I've only been working for two years. My company was pretty good, but that damned vice-president tried to harass my wife. I beat him up, and he got fired."

He seemed to remember something, adding, "Oh, by the way, if you want me, bring my wife along. She's a nurse, her skills are beyond question. You definitely won't regret hiring her!"

Only two years of work experience at around thirty! Unless there were special circumstances, this meant this man must have at least a doctorate. Ye Tian was secretly surprised; he hadn't expected this unassuming guy to have such a high level of education.

"You must have graduated with a PhD, right?"

The middle-aged man smiled somewhat embarrassedly. "I dropped out! Before my dissertation defense, I discovered my thesis had been plagiarized by my advisor. I confronted him, but that old bastard not only refused to admit it but also accused me. In the end, we got into a fight, and I was expelled from school."

Seeing how refined he was, Ye Tian was surprised he was prone to fighting. He suspected this guy might be a violent maniac. Doctor-patient relationships are already tense; if he's also short

-tempered with patients, something bad is bound to happen. "Don't worry, I never fight with my patients. Even if I get hit, I won't fight back. I have that much professional ethics. I only fought because I couldn't stand those bastards!"

The middle-aged man quickly explained, afraid Ye Tian would misunderstand.

Chapter 238 Stepmother's Trouble

Ye Tian was relieved to hear this. Hiring someone with violent tendencies was unacceptable. Putting aside his professional skills, this alone made him a no-go. Fortunately, the man wasn't the type to be short-tempered and prone to violence; Ye Tian could deduce this from his words.

Anyone would be outraged to have their wife harassed by their boss. If anyone dared to harass Ning Luo, Ye Tian would skin them alive. Having his thesis plagiarized by his supervisor was also incredibly infuriating, so Ye Tian understood his urge to resort to violence.

"If you're interested, I can start working at your hospital anytime. If not, forget it!"

This guy in a t-shirt and flip-flops spoke casually, almost like he was joking. Ye Tian didn't even know his professional abilities, yet he was asking if Ye Tian wanted him!

Ye Tian wasn't conservative, but he rarely acted rashly. He believed this man had something special, but he needed to verify it before deciding whether to hire him.

"Mr. Liu, please don't rush. I need to understand your situation first!"

Ye Tian thought for a moment and asked, "You have a medical license, right?"

"Of course, although I don't think that thing is very useful, I have to have something to earn a living."

Liu Wenjie not only has it, but it's also a higher-level attending physician title than a licensed physician. He dropped out of his doctoral program but has a master's degree from a prestigious university.

He's different from the nurse named Song Yao from before. Song Yao left because she didn't have a permanent position at the hospital and wanted to find a higher-paying job outside. But Liu Wenjie has a permanent position; he just doesn't like the system. He's similar to Ye Tian in one way: he likes freedom.

"Mr. Liu, what surgeries do you perform?"

Ye Tian himself is skilled in many surgeries, but a hospital can't rely on just him to maintain its reputation. Ye Tian wants to hire someone who can replace him at any time. Now that it's the early stage of his business, he can stay at the hospital every day, but he definitely can't stay there indefinitely.

"Let me put it this way, I can perform almost any plastic surgery procedure. I worked in the plastic surgery department of Mingzhu University Affiliated Hospital for two years, averaging at least three surgeries a day. Over those two years, I performed at least two thousand surgeries, and not a single one resulted in an accident!"

Liu Wenjie never boasted, but now was the time to promote himself, and everything he said was true, without any exaggeration.

Liu Wenjie had only been officially working at the hospital for two years, but his practical experience there far exceeded that. He completed a year of internship after graduating with his bachelor's degree, another year after graduating with his master's degree, and during his second year of doctoral studies, he didn't take any specialized courses because he dedicated a year to self-studying all the theoretical courses required for his doctoral studies.

After that, he stayed at the hospital, working alongside the doctors. Liu Wenjie was intelligent and eager to learn, so he accumulated a wealth of experience at the hospital, earning the favor of his supervising doctors. This was precisely why, even though he dropped out of his doctoral program, someone still offered him a job at the hospital.

Ye Tian was somewhat pleased; he hadn't expected this guy to be such a multi-talented individual. However, he would only know the true extent of his medical skills once he officially started working there.

"Mr. Liu, what are your salary requirements?"

Ye Tian was a little worried that the other party might ask for too much. He was just starting out and couldn't offer too much salary. Besides, Ye Tian wasn't doing this as a one-off deal; as long as he performed well, there would naturally be opportunities for a raise.

"Don't keep calling me 'Mr. Liu,' it's not my style. You're not that old, so if you don't mind, just call me Brother Liu!"

Liu Wenjie raised his hand and spread out five fingers. "Anything but this is fine. If I think this place suits me and gives me enough freedom, I can lower it a bit!"

This salary wasn't particularly high in the plastic surgery industry. It was common for well-known doctors to earn over 100,000 a month. If Liu Wenjie really could perform all kinds of surgeries as he claimed, then Ye Tian felt he was getting a good deal. He would be willing to pay 70,000 or 80,000, let alone 50,000.

"Okay, Brother Liu is a straightforward person, so I won't dawdle. It's settled then. But to be honest, our hospital isn't open yet; it'll probably take about two weeks!"

Ye Tian had a very good impression of Liu Wenjie.

Liu Wenjie readily nodded, "No problem! I'll go back and wait for your notification! Just let me know when you can start work!"

The subsequent recruitment went smoothly. Aside from hiring two nurses and a few support staff, the other doctors who applied were either incompetent or couldn't answer Ye Tian's slightly technical medical questions. Although their salary expectations weren't high, Ye Tian didn't want doctors with such low skills.

After the recruitment, Ye Tian took Thirteen to a hotel for dinner. They had been busy all morning and were hungry, but Thirteen surprisingly didn't complain. She had performed very well today, working diligently without rest.

"You did a good job today. What do you want to eat? It's on me!"

Ye Tian felt that Thirteen was different today; she even showed a mature side. Thirteen had always displayed girlish traits, but today, dressed in formal attire, not only did her figure look even more alluring, but her demeanor had also changed considerably.

Thirteen wanted to complete the task as quickly as possible, and after a night of deep thought, she changed her strategy. Knowing that Ye Tian liked mature women, she tried to appear more mature in front of him, using a passive approach to seduce him.

"Just do what you think is best, I'll eat whatever you order!"

Normally, Thirteen would tease Ye Tian, but today she spoke so gently, making Ye Tian feel a little uncomfortable.

Ye Tian picked up the menu and casually ordered two side dishes and a soup. However, while the two were eating at the hotel, Ning Luo encountered a problem.

"Mr. Zhang, your prices are too high. If you insist on this price, it seems there's no need for us to continue negotiating. Goodbye!"

Ning Luo had her eye on a shop. The surrounding environment was nice, though a little remote, and the shop's size met Ye Tian's requirements—over a thousand square meters—but the price was similar to that of a prime location. She decided to leave.

As Ning Luo turned around, Mr. Zhang's eyes were fixed on her round, pert buttocks, his mind filled with excitement, imagining the pleasure of pinning her down and thrusting into her from behind.

Just as Ning Luo was about to leave the office, General Manager Zhang clapped his hands, and two security guards immediately blocked the door.

Ning Luo frowned, sensing something was wrong. She secretly reached into her pocket and dialed Ye Tian's number, then said to the guards, "Excuse me, please let me through!"

Ye Tian was enjoying his meal when his phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was Ning Luo calling. He immediately answered, "Are you done with your work?"

Ye Tian assumed Ning Luo was calling to ask him to pick her up, but he faintly heard a man's voice on the other end, "Miss Ning, what do you take this place for? You think you can just come and go as you please?"

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately realized Ning Luo might be in trouble. He put down his chopsticks and listened quietly to the conversation, trying to figure out where they were.

Ning Luo knew Ye Tian would answer soon, so she deliberately said, "Where? General Manager Zhang, isn't this the Yingtian Building? Isn't it...?"

The Yingtian Building!

Ye Tian immediately memorized the name, hung up the phone, and placed two hundred yuan on the table. "Ning Luo is in trouble. You go back after you finish eating. I'm leaving now!"

Ye Tian had only taken a few steps when Thirteen called the waiter to pay the bill and hurriedly followed him.

Thirteen saw this as an opportunity to curry favor with Ye Tian .

Now she was going to use every means to win him over, so she wouldn't let any opportunity slip by. Ye Tian quickly arrived at the hotel entrance, got into the car, and was about to drive when Thirteen opened the passenger door and got in. "I eat and drink your food every day, and now that you're in trouble, of course I won't stand

idly by. Drive, I'll help you find the address!" Ye Tian nodded, started the car, and drove out of the hotel. Thirteen pressed a button on her electronic watch, which immediately switched to a satellite navigation system. After entering "Yingtian Building," a map interface appeared on the watch screen, with a small red dot flashing.

"Found it, follow this route!"

Thirteen showed Ye Tian the image displayed on her watch.

Ye Tian immediately sped off along the route. He wasn't surprised that Thirteen possessed such equipment; she was a member of Tianlong, the country's top intelligence organization. It would be strange if she didn't have some high-tech gadgets at her disposal.

Chapter 239 No One Can Do It

Thirteen's wristwatch not only has satellite navigation, communication, and photography functions, but also a special assassination function. Touching a certain button will fire a flying needle, and it can also be used as a miniature bomb if necessary. This is standard equipment for every member of the Tianlong Special Agent Organization.

However, to avoid attracting attention, each wristwatch has a different design and color. Thirteen's watch looks very ordinary, like a regular digital watch sold in the market. It only displays the time and date normally; the special function only appears after pressing a button in a special way.

Following the instructions on Thirteen's watch, Ye Tian quickly arrived near the Yingtian Building. Compared to the bustling city center, this area seemed somewhat dilapidated, but still much more prosperous than a typical small town.

The Yingtian Building stood on a wide main road, surrounded by commercial streets and shopping malls, but the foot traffic wasn't particularly heavy. Ye Tian parked the car in front of the Yingtian Building and took Thirteen inside.

"Hello, is your General Manager Zhang here?"

Ye Tian asked a waiter casually after entering. He had just heard Ning Luo call him "General Manager Zhang" on the phone, so he remembered it. Although Ye Tian was anxious, he would never act recklessly.

If he rushed in aggressively, he would only alert Ning Luo, putting her in even greater danger.

"You are..."

The waitress couldn't guess Ye Tian's purpose based on his appearance and asked suspiciously.

Thirteen, still dressed in a suit, had a sudden inspiration and stepped forward to introduce him, "Hello, this is our General Manager Ye, the young master of Tianxia Group. We are here to discuss a business deal with your General Manager Zhang. If it's convenient, please pass on our message!"

The waitress was intimidated by Ye Tian's aura. Dressed in a suit and tie, handsome and with a nonchalant smile, he certainly had the air of a playboy. She didn't know about Tianxia Group, but hearing "young master" was quite shocking, after all, there were plenty of wealthy young masters these days.

The waitress immediately called Mr. Zhang, only to be berated by him on the phone. Mr. Zhang had locked Ning Luo in his office and had finally managed to tie her up. He was just about to start undressing her when the phone call interrupted him, naturally making him furious.

"Mr. Zhang, the other party is the young master of Tianxia Group. He seems to have quite a background. Would you like to meet him..."

Despite being scolded, the waitress continued. She knew Mr. Zhang was a greedy and lecherous man who would never let go of any opportunity to make money, and he would try every means to get his hands on beautiful women.

If she didn't speak up, she would be in even worse shape if Mr. Zhang found out after the other party left!

Mr. Zhang was indeed stunned when he heard that the other party had quite a background. He glanced at Ning Luo, who was tied to a chair, and cursed inwardly. He decided to enjoy her later. This was the first time he had met such a beautiful woman. Just a few glances were enough to make his blood boil. But in Mr. Zhang's mind, women were far less important than money. With money, he could get any woman he wanted.

He felt that making money was the priority. "Let them come up. Just say I'm in the conference room!"

The waitress breathed a sigh of relief, hung up the phone, and smiled sweetly at Ye Tian. "Mr. Ye, our General Manager Zhang invites you to the conference room. Please follow me!"

Led by the waitress, Ye Tian and Thirteen took the elevator to the floor where General Manager Zhang was located. Although she led them to the conference room, Ye Tian and Thirteen secretly observed the environment as they walked down the corridor. There weren't many people on this floor, but there were quite a few security guards, and cameras everywhere.

It seems this guy is very afraid of being bothered; otherwise, why would he have such tight security? He probably does a lot of bad things! Ye Tian thought to himself as they walked. When they passed a door with two security guards standing there, Ye Tian suddenly smelled Ning Luo's fragrance.

But the waitress didn't stop; instead, she led them forward. Ye Tian gave Thirteen a wink, signaling her to pay attention to the room they had just passed.

Led by the waitress, Ye Tian and Thirteen walked to the last room in the corridor before stopping. The woman knocked on the door, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Ye is here!"

"Come in!"

Mr. Zhang said in a deep voice from inside.

The waitress opened the door and invited Ye Tian and Thirteen in, "Please come in, gentlemen!"

After Ye Tian and Thirteen entered, she closed the door and left. Her job wasn't to be Mr. Zhang's secretary, so she had other work to do.

After Ye Tian entered, he noticed that Mr. Zhang was accompanied by two bodyguards. Mr. Zhang was thirty-four or thirty-five years old, lean, and somewhat pale—clearly a lecherous man who had indulged in excessive sexual activity!

Mr. Zhang walked over with a smile, "A pleasure to meet you, a pleasure to meet you. May I ask what brings you here, Mr. Ye?"

Thirteen, who was beside Ye Tian, immediately focused his attention on the two bodyguards behind Mr. Zhang as he approached. If they dared to make a move, Thirteen was confident that he could subdue them before they could act!

Ye Tian sneered, "Mr. Zhang, you've certainly done your share of shady things, haven't you? Bringing bodyguards to your own turf! Are you afraid of enemies coming your way, or are you planning something bad at any moment?"

Mr. Zhang's face immediately changed. "Who are you?"

The two security guards, seeing the hostile intent, immediately prepared to rush forward, but Thirteen, whom they disregarded, suddenly leaped into the air, easily knocking the two bodyguards unconscious with a single punch and kick. In just one exchange, the two lay on the ground, unconscious. Thirteen's strikes were all aimed at vital points; if the force had been any greater, they wouldn't have just been unconscious, but truly dead!

"Help..."

Mr. Zhang immediately cried for help, but before he could finish speaking, Ye Tian punched him in the mouth. Mr. Zhang's head snapped to the side, spitting out a mouthful of blood, along with two front teeth.

Ye Tian walked over and coldly looked at Mr. Zhang. "You know what you've done, I don't need to repeat myself!"

Mr. Zhang was both ashamed and furious; being beaten on his own turf was a first for him!

"I don't understand what you're saying, but you have to give me an explanation for this, or you won't be leaving this building!"

Boss Zhang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said angrily! He wasn't afraid of trouble, and he wasn't afraid of causing trouble either; there was no one in

this area he wouldn't dare to mess with. Zhang Zicong's brother-in-law was the director of this mere Public Security Bureau, and relying on this connection, he was used to doing evil deeds, so he didn't take Ye Tian seriously at all!

As the saying goes, "You can kill a stubborn person, and drown a good swimmer," this guy not only didn't know how to repent but was also threatening Ye Tian.

"Won't be leaving here?"

Ye Tian sneered, "Heh... I'd like to see what you're capable of doing to keep me here!"

Ye Tian was already very angry; Ning Luo was one of his sore spots, and touching her would surely enrage him, and now she was threatening him.

Thirteen glanced at President Zhang, a hint of disdain in her eyes. "I'm going to rescue her. You're in charge here!"

After leaving, Thirteen quickly knocked out the two security guards at the entrance, not even caring if they were on camera. Entering the office, she untied Ning Luo from the chair. Seeing her clothes were intact, she breathed a sigh of relief. If anything had happened to Ning Luo, Ye Tian would have gone completely berserk.

"Sister Ning, are you alright?"

Ning Luo remained relatively calm, rubbing her reddened wrists and shaking her head. "I'm fine. Where's Ye Tian?"

"He's dealing with some things. Let's go!"

Thirteen knew the longer they delayed, the more trouble would ensue. Before they even left the building, they were stopped, but Thirteen's skills were far beyond what a few security guards could handle. She quickly subdued five or six guards, got Ning Luo into the car, and drove off.

Ye Tian looked at Boss Zhang, whose face was swollen from his punch, and said in a deep voice, "Those who offend me will never have a good ending, and those who offend my woman will suffer even more. You tell me how you want to handle this! If you handle it to my satisfaction, I'll let you off the hook. If you don't know

what's good for you, then don't blame me for being ruthless!" "Fuck your mother, who do you think you are? What are you pretending for in front of me? You think you're so great just because you know a little kung fu? I'll pay you back tenfold for that punch!"

Boss Zhang had already heard the commotion downstairs. If his men were alerted, someone would immediately call the police. As long as his brother-in-law sent people, this arrogant brat in front of him would be waiting to die!

Chapter 240

The reason why Zhang Zicong, the violent female police officer, hired so many people to protect her was indeed as Ye Tian had guessed. She was usually arrogant and domineering, and people didn't dare to do anything because of her brother-in-law. But this guy was a lecherous monster; he couldn't take his eyes off pretty women. Any woman in the neighborhood with

even a little bit of beauty, whether a female student or a young married woman, once he set his sights on her, had no chance of escaping. He had abused at least dozens of women. Zhang Zicong was not only powerful but also wealthy. The Zhang family patriarch was a well-known wealthy businessman in the area, but unfortunately, this spendthrift son was hopeless, spending his days idly and lazy, which angered the patriarch so much that the old man kicked him out.

Later, his sister couldn't stand it anymore and used her dowry money to invest in the Yingtian Building, allowing him to sit back and collect rent.

Because of his past misdeeds, Zhang Zicong was always worried about retaliation, which is why he hired so many security guards and several bodyguards. His subordinates were used to his wicked ways and knew what kind of person he was. When Ning Luo left Yingtian Building unharmed, the security guards knew something was wrong; otherwise, Zhang Zicong wouldn't have let such a beautiful woman like Ning Luo go.

More than ten security guards and two bodyguards arrived at Zhang Zicong's office, only to find it empty. They immediately headed towards the conference room. These were the two places Zhang Zicong frequented most in Yingtian Building, as he liked to have affairs with the female employees in the company there.

As the group arrived at the conference room door, they heard Zhang Zicong's angry voice coming from inside. The two bodyguards in the lead stepped forward and pushed the door, only to find it locked from the inside. They hurriedly knocked, "Brother Zhang, are you alright?"

Hearing his men arrive, Zhang Zicong immediately became assertive, coldly looking at Ye Tian, "You're finished!"

Zhang Zicong turned to open the door to let them in, but Ye Tian grabbed him by the back of his collar and pulled him back, "Come in, all of you, rush in!"

Zhang Zicong cried for help as Ye Tian grabbed him.

Ye Tian wasn't in a hurry, lifting Zhang Zicong like a chicken and pulling him to his side. After sitting him down in a chair, Ye Tian pressed Zhang Zicong's pressure point to silence him. The guy's face turned red, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Boom...

The conference room door was kicked open by the people outside. When everyone saw that Zhang Zicong was unharmed, they all breathed a sigh of relief. If something had happened to him, everyone here would have been in deep trouble. Zhang Zicong's sister was very protective of her men and also had a fiery temper; even her bureau chief husband was wary of her when she got angry.

"Young Master Zhang, are you alright?"

Zhang Zicong's two bodyguards were the first to step forward and ask, completely disregarding Ye Tian. There were more than ten of them, and these two bodyguards were skilled in martial arts, so in their eyes, Ye Tian was just a piece of trash waiting to be beaten up.

Zhang Zicong wanted to speak but couldn't utter a word. He angrily pointed at Ye Tian, signaling them to quickly deal with the guy.

Zhang Zicong's bodyguards assumed he was mute from the beating. As bodyguards, failing to protect their employer was a huge loss of face, and would result in punishment. One of the larger bodyguards coldly asked Ye Tian, "Which hand did you use to hit him?"

"My right hand! What? You have a problem with that?"

Ye Tian still sneered.

These men had been following Zhang Zicong for a long time, and had long since developed an arrogant and domineering personality. Hearing that Ye Tian had hit Zhang Zicong, one of the bodyguards coldly sneered, "You've got guts, huh!"

The burly bodyguard nodded a few times, pointing fiercely at Ye Tian, "Cripple his right hand!"

A group of security guards rushed over, trying to subdue Ye Tian. Just then, Zhang Zicong let out a bloodcurdling scream. Ye Tian secretly released his pressure points and pressed a silver needle against the back of his head. If he stabbed it in hard, Zhang Zicong would die on the spot. Killing was easy for Ye Tian, but he wasn't going to make such a sacrifice for such a piece of trash.

Ye Tian whispered behind Zhang Zicong, "Tell them to stop!"

"Stop...stop! All of you, stop!"

A piercing pain shot through the back of Zhang Zicong's head, and he roared furiously at the group of security guards.

"Make them kneel!"

Ye Tian glanced at the crowd and said to Zhang Zicong in a deep voice. Damn it, didn't you just tell me to kneel?

Although Ye Tian didn't want trouble, once someone crossed him, no matter how powerful they were, he wouldn't give them any face. Zhang Zicong's behavior had crossed Ye Tian's line, and that was unforgivable. However, these lackeys who were just taking advantage of his power made him even more annoyed.

Ye Tian didn't want to fight them himself; he felt that fighting such a bunch of scoundrels would be a desecration of his kung fu! They weren't worthy of making Ye Tian show his true strength.

A group of people stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do. They only listened to Zhang Zicong and didn't take Ye Tian's orders seriously at all. But Zhang Zicong didn't think so. The sharp pain in the back of his head had almost made him faint. He roared, "Are you all deaf? Kneel down! All of you kneel down!"

The two bodyguards and more than ten security guards hesitated for a moment, but finally knelt down in front of Ye Tian. They were just employees. They did whatever their boss said. Although it was undignified, compared with the generous salary, dignity was nothing!

Just after everyone knelt down, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside. Ye Tian frowned and thought to himself, "Does this guy have more help?"

Just as Ye Tian was surprised, a woman in a police uniform walked in first, followed by two male police officers.

"Oh, is someone about to ascend the throne or what?"

the policewoman sneered mockingly. Ye Tian initially mistook her for Wang Hui, but upon closer inspection, it was clear this policewoman wasn't as voluptuous as Wang Hui. Wang Hui's chest was quite prominent in her police uniform.

This policewoman's bust was obviously a size smaller than Wang Hui's, though she was quite pretty, with an oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and bright, piercing eyes.

"Stop immediately! Put down your weapon!"

the policewoman said calmly, standing still. "You've only injured someone; at most, it'll be a minor detention. If you seriously injure someone, it'll be a criminal case!"

The policewoman knew the man Ye Tian had subdued was the brother-in-law of their district's police chief, and she dared not be careless. If this spoiled young master were injured, everyone here would be in trouble!

A cold glint flashed in Ye Tian's eyes as he said in a deep voice, "You've come at just the right time. You weren't here when he was committing crimes, but you're here as soon as I acted in self-defense. You two were in cahoots, weren't you!"

"You..."

Luo Juan was furious at Ye Tian's words. She and her colleagues had rushed over immediately after receiving the call, and now she was being blatantly framed. She was enraged, but dared not show it too much, lest she anger the other party.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but please rest assured, we will uphold the law impartially. Now, both of you come with me to the police station, and we will investigate the truth thoroughly!"

Luo Juan's reputation within the Mingzhu City Public Security System was comparable to Wang Hui's; one was from the South City Branch and the other from the West City Branch. Although they were in charge of different areas, they secretly competed with each other.

Everyone said Wang Hui was a crime-solving expert, and Luo Juan was very unconvinced, so she always volunteered for every call.

"Sorry, I'm busy!"

Ye Tian released Zhang Zicong. "I'm handing this criminal over to you. I hope you can handle it impartially. Don't ask who I am; I never leave my name when I do good deeds!"

Ye Tian finished speaking and prepared to swagger away, infuriating Luo Juan. He hit someone and thought he could just walk away? Was he treating her like she was invisible?

"Stop, sir, please cooperate with our work!"

Luo Juan stepped forward and blocked Ye Tian's path.

Ye Tian glanced at the time and said slowly, "Sorry, I have to go back for dinner. I don't have time to play with you guys. You just need to bring the criminals to justice!"

*Whoosh*...

Ye Tian had just taken a step when Luo Juan followed suit. Not only that, she grabbed Ye Tian's collar with both hands and spun

him around, preparing to subdue him with an over-the-shoulder throw. However, with her back pressed against Ye Tian's body, no matter how much force she used, Ye Tian remained unmoved. Luo Juan's eyes darted around, and she grabbed Ye Tian's hand, hoisting it onto her shoulder and pulling him forward. But Ye Tian's feet were firmly planted, as if nailed to the ground. Ye Tian grabbed her hand, preparing to pull it away, but suddenly realized he was holding something soft—the policewoman's breast!

Chapter 241 Calling for Reinforcements

Luo Juan was nearly driven mad with rage after Ye Tian groped her breasts in front of dozens of people. Fortunately, Ye Tian's hand quickly left, and apart from the person in front of her who vaguely saw it, no one else seemed to have noticed Ye Tian's groping hand. Otherwise, she would have wanted to disappear into the ground.

Ye Tian didn't intend to grab the policewoman's breasts; he just wanted to pry her hand off. However, he made a slight mistake during the movement, and Luo Juan had just grabbed Ye Tian's hand and was trying to use an over-the-shoulder throw to bring him down. But her strength was no match for Ye Tian's.

Luo Juan blushed and threw an elbow strike at Ye Tian's ribs. Unfortunately, Ye Tian was prepared. Seeing her right shoulder move, he knew what she was going to do next and easily dodged by gently shifting his body to the side.

"What are you all standing there for? Come and subdue this bastard!"

Luo Juan knew she was no match for Ye Tian, so she immediately called her colleagues to surround him. But to her surprise, the security guards also rushed in. This instigated attack would be disastrous for Luo Juan if word got out.

Luo Juan tried to stop them, but it was too late. The security guards, whom Ye Tian had just forced Zhang Zicong to kneel, were now bloodthirsty. A dozen guards, along with two of Zhang Zicong's bodyguards and two of Luo Juan's colleagues, all swarmed forward.

Ye Tian released Luo Juan and took three steps back, pressing his back against the wall. The most effective way to deal with such a multi-person attack was to keep your back exposed to the enemy. Of course, even if Ye Tian were surrounded in the center, he had ways to deal with it, but he wouldn't act recklessly if he could conserve his energy. "

No one knows what will happen next," a classic saying widely circulated in the mercenary world.

With Ye Tian leaning against the wall, he no longer worried about being attacked from behind. A dozen security guards rushed forward, but Ye Tian swiftly sidestepped, raising his right leg and delivering a series of side kicks that knocked down three of the first guards. He then used a Tai Chi push-hands technique to throw two more guards to the ground.

Ye Tian's movements were incredibly precise; each attack lasted less than a second. After defeating one opponent with a single blow, he immediately attacked the next one charging at him. Within two minutes, he had subdued the first dozen or so guards who had rushed at him.

Finally, only the two bodyguards, two policemen, and Luo Juan, standing at the back, remained. When she saw the group rushing over, her heart had been pounding in her chest. If Ye Tian had been seriously injured, she would bear undeniable responsibility.

Just as Luo Juan was about to shout for them to stop, she saw Ye Tian swiftly and accurately subdue a group of security guards. His movements were ruthless and precise, each strike fatal. Anyone hit by him immediately collapsed to the ground, groaning in pain, with no chance

to retaliate. In the blink of an eye, more than ten security guards were lying on the ground. Seeing this, Luo Juan could hardly believe her eyes. As a police officer, she knew very well what such strength meant; this was someone she couldn't handle. Luo Juan thought to herself, "How is this guy so powerful?"

Luo Juan wasn't unfamiliar with skilled fighters; her public security system held annual combat competitions, and she had witnessed them firsthand. Even the national champion wasn't as capable as Ye Tian, and he had effortlessly dealt with more than ten people without even breaking a sweat.

The remaining four were also intimidated by Ye Tian's fierceness, a sense of fear rising in their hearts. They stood rooted to the spot, not daring to advance. Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, Luo Juan hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, shouting, "Stop it all!"

"I advise you not to resist anymore. Going against the police will not end well. Please come with me to assist in the investigation!"

Luo Juan looked at Ye Tian quietly. She couldn't guess Ye Tian's identity, but based on the skills he had just displayed, he was definitely not an ordinary person. Even if the fight continued, her side would definitely suffer.

Ye Tian smiled faintly, "Resist? Did your Chinese teacher teach you PE? Is that how you use that word? This was just self-defense. And what about you, as a police officer, instigating delinquents to gang up on me? As a law enforcement officer, shouldn't you be punished even more severely for knowingly breaking the law?"

Luo Juan was not qualified to argue with Ye Tian, and besides, her actions just now had violated the duties of a police officer.

Luo Juan's chest heaved with anger. She said in a deep voice, "It was a slip of the tongue, but you can't escape the charge of affray. You'd better cooperate with our work, or I'll add another charge of assaulting a police officer!"

"Boss, don't waste your breath on this bastard! We'll hold him here. You bring reinforcements immediately. I don't believe he can escape!"

One of Luo Juan's colleagues glared at Ye Tian without turning back. Like Wang Hui, Luo Juan was also single and beautiful, with many admirers in her unit.

Luo Juan had considered this approach. She knew her subordinates' personalities well; leaving them might anger Ye Tian, and they couldn't possibly defeat him. In the end, only her own people would suffer.

"I can apologize for what I did wrong, but you must come back to the station with me for investigation. If it's proven true, I can guarantee you justice!"

Another similarity between Luo Juan and Wang Hui was their strong sense of justice. Wang Hui dared to slam her fist on the table against her superior; Luo Juan would also refuse to yield to her leader for the sake of fairness.

She knew what kind of person Zhang Zicong was. She hadn't had the opportunity to handle cases involving him before; usually, their station chief handled Zhang Zicong's cases personally. Today, the station chief happened to be out, so Luo Juan was the first to arrive.

Ye Tian considered it for a moment. Leaving would be easy, but that wouldn't solve the problem. Even if he left, the police would still come knocking. There were cameras everywhere; finding him wouldn't be difficult.

"Okay, I'll trust you this once. I hope you can uphold justice and not disappoint me!"

Ye Tian could tell that this policewoman wasn't the kind of opportunist who fawned over superiors, so he decided to accompany her to the police station.

Ye Tian took a step forward, and the four men still confronting him retreated in fear. Ye Tian shook his head with a cold smile and walked up to Luo Juan. "Let's go, I'll go back with you!"

Luo Juan blushed upon hearing this ambiguous statement and glared at Ye Tian, saying, "You're not coming back with me, you're coming to the police station for questioning!"

Ye Tian followed Luo Juan into the police car, and just like last time, he was sandwiched between two people. Luo Juan's colleague even tried to handcuff Ye Tian, but Ye Tian ignored her. In the end, Luo Juan intervened to calm things down.

As soon as Ye Tian left, Zhang Zicong's bodyguards immediately took him to the hospital. After his injuries were treated, Zhang Zicong called his sister to complain, "Sis, something terrible has happened! Your brother has been beaten up and is in the hospital! You have to help me get revenge!"

Zhang Zicong didn't mention what he had done, but instead exaggerated his injuries. His sister was an extremely protective woman, and upon hearing that her brother had been beaten up and hospitalized, she was furious. "Who dared to touch you? You idiot, why didn't you call the police? Where is he? Have they caught him yet?"

"The police have already taken him away. They said I have to come over after my wounds are treated. You should talk to your brother-in-law right away. That policewoman isn't a good person either; she even tried to take me to the station!"

Zhang Zicong also complained about Luo Juan.

"Don't worry, I'll call your brother-in-law right away. I want to see who has the audacity to mess with the Zhang family!"

Zhang Zicong's sister said angrily.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Zicong's sister immediately called her husband. The district bureau chief was inspecting the area and wasn't far from the Chengxi branch. Hearing that his brother-in-law had been beaten, he was furious. He was angry at his good-for-nothing brother-in-law for always causing him trouble, and also annoyed at his wife for making him deal with such trivial matters.

"Alright, I know. I'll go see for myself when I'm done!"

Zou Zhenglong hung up the phone somewhat displeased.

Zou Zhenglong was originally a police station chief. After marrying Zhang Zicong's sister, Zhang Mei, he relied on the Zhang family's connections and a lot of money to rise through the ranks. In just a few years, he was promoted from a small police station chief to the district public security bureau chief. He knew very well that everything he had now was given to him by the Zhang family, so he dared not be negligent.
