"Listening to Qin Feng's words, Qingya was momentarily stunned: 'Hm.'" Qin, smiling warmly, said, "Among the cultivators who can't tell whether they're male or female, who else could it be but my brother, the Peach Blossom brother?" At that moment, Chen Jie, with his distinct regal emphasis, stepped in: "Qin, I'm back again—this time, I'm certain to defeat you. So I've decided not to go looking for that magical race woman; I'm coming straight to you. Dare to fight me?" Wei Qingtian expressed his confusion: "What do you mean? Fighting me, and now you're bringing in that magical race woman?" Qingya deliberately pointed out his injury, smiling: "You never knew, did you? This guy, in an effort to divert attention, insisted that Mei Li was under his command, claiming that anyone wanting to fight him must first pass through her. And yet, Chen Jie, surprisingly, believed him—and ended up being thoroughly outmaneuvered by Mei Li." "Really?" The elder's eyes lit up, and he gave a hearty thumbs-up: "When it comes to cunning, no one matches Xiao Feng." Qin's face Then he turned to Qingya and said, "If you hadn't lied to Taochá brother by saying I was your boyfriend, would he have fought me? This is all for your benefit—yet you still expose my shortcomings in front of everyone. Then I'm not helping you anymore. You go handle it yourself." The elegant Supervisor quickly pulled his arm and shook it back and forth, saying, "Send the Buddha all the way to the west—help people until the very end. Just help me this time, okay? If not, well... whenever you take advantage of me in the future, I'll just let it go." "Really?" His eyes lit up spontaneously. "What are you two talking about?" asked He Muqing, her eyes wide. "Nothing," he quickly replied, "I and my superior are completely pure—just a clean romantic relationship, nothing more." "Yes, we're very pure," Qingya added promptly. Clearly, such an explanation was hard to believe for the highly intelligent He Leader, but in front of everyone, one had to preserve a little face for the husband, so he didn't press further. As for whether they'd revisit the topic once they got home—that would have to wait until then. Qin took a single step from the window, leaping onto the air with his feet planted on the flying sword, and approached the once-unshakeable Tao brother with a smile. "Hua Hua, you've come so quickly—your recovery must be quite swift." Chen Jie, with an air of pride, replied, "Of course. The elixirs from the Immortal葫 Palace are renowned throughout the heavenly realm. Qin, don't just stand there—come at me with a fight!" He shrugged. "I'm not underestimating you, but you won't be able to match me. Nor will you even stand a chance against my subordinates. Don't you think that simply taking a few elixirs back home will be enough to greatly enhance your abilities? Hua Hua, haste often leads to failure. Didn't your father tell you that?" The Tao brother, straightforward as ever, shook his head. "Chen Juehua never mentioned it to me." "What? Your father called Chen Juehua?" He first narrowed his eyes and then adopted a deeply reverent posture, saying: "This name is truly magnificent and full of vigor—it's so powerful that it seems to move heaven and earth, touching the spirits of the gods. Could you convey my deep admiration for him? It's as continuous as the Yangtze River's flow, and as unstoppable as the Yellow River's flood." Tao Chao, delighted, nearly had a nosebleed: "Exactly! I also find the name impressive, but I can't quite understand why my father is so afraid others will know about it. He always prevents me from mentioning it—what a strange thing." Qin Shao spoke seriously: "Your father must be a calm and composed person. He doesn't want his reputation to become too prominent. Yet, as a son, if you don't help elevate his name, it would be hard to justify." "Yes, that's exactly what I've been thinking." "Tuofa brother couldn't help but raise his plump, elegant fingers, saying, 'Who would mind their father's reputation being so well-known, yet still find it difficult to achieve this? I've thought of countless ways, but none have worked. Qin brother, could you please offer me a suggestion?' 'Simple,' he chuckled, 'you just need to tour the heavens and distribute flyers widely.' He added with a smile, 'Your herbal medicines aren't excellent, are they? Take a portion and offer them free of charge—just by presenting the flyer, anyone can get one. Of course, no one will take only one; otherwise, your family would surely be depleted. Think about it—once people see the flyer, they immediately recognize your father's name. If they then go on to receive a free pill, they'll naturally promote your father's reputation. It's hard to imagine he wouldn't become well-known.' Tuofa brother's eyes lit up: 'Ah, yes—that's a brilliant idea! I just didn't think of it myself. Many thanks, Qin brother... cough, cough. I feel like I actually came here to fight you, even if you've helped me. Our differences simply can't be resolved, "This guy is not only effeminate—he's also missing the point. Qin Shao shook his head and said, "Hua Hua, you truly aren't my match. If you take another beating, will Yaya still have any respect for you?" "How do you know I'm not your match?" he replied angrily. "So, to be safe, you should first defeat my subordinates," he said earnestly. "You've already lost twice—people say it's never good to lose three times in a row. If you lose once more, you'll have no chance to recover. Yaya will completely lose faith in you. But if you defeat my subordinates, that's equivalent to turning the tide." "Ah, yes, thank you, Qin brother, for the reminder. I'll go find her right away. This time, I'll definitely make her kneel and beg for mercy." Brother Huatao spoke with confidence. Though not particularly intelligent, he's far from stupid—this self-assurance must stem from something solid. Qin Shao must make a second attempt to divert the waters eastward. Pointing west, he said, "My subordinates are stationed there. As for the exact location..." Before he could finish, Tao Hua interjected, "I don't need overly specific details—I can find them myself." "That's excellent," he gestured warmly, though in truth, he himself had no clear idea where Mei Li was. He was just about to say, "Go find her yourself," when Tao Hua eagerly jumped right in. Therefore, being dull is a disease that must be treated. As Chen Jie was about to leave, he remembered to offer a well-meaning piece of advice: "Tao Brother, my subordinate has recently gathered several new allies. If you intend to confront her, you'll first need to deal with these allies—or else you'll simply be unable to make progress." "Don't worry—I'll handle them all," Tao Hua replied, and swiftly took off westward on his flying sword. Only after Tao Chao had walked far away did Qingya slowly glide over, humming, "Once again, you've treated me like a weapon— Qin Feng, you truly have a knack for scheming. Still, I like it. After all, this is all for me, isn't it? Hehe." The faint frown that had just appeared on Qin Shao's face vanished. He said, "That's making the most of every resource. Let's follow them. I believe Tao Chao has something on his side this time. We ought to find out what's going on. If he truly defeats Mei Li, the next move will surely be to hold me accountable. Only by knowing both the enemy and ourselves can we remain victorious in every battle." "Agreed," Qingya said, already convinced that Tao Chao had secured a new treasure. She now looked like a full-blown bandit, waving her small fist with enthusiasm.
