Chapter 326: Qi Yuan's Helpful Nature
Chapter 326: Qi Yuan's Helpful Nature
In the shopping mall, Qi Yuan casually rode the elevator, holding Jin Si Que's delicate hand. Today, he had brought Jin Si Que along, and they had purchased various items, big and small, all of which were stored in his Martial Technique Space.
As a newcomer, Jin Si Que was intrigued by everything around her.
"Does it taste good?" Qi Yuan asked, gazing at Jin Si Que's beautiful profile.
Holding her milk tea, Jin Si Que replied, "The flavor is a bit odd, it's just okay."
To her, the taste of this milk tea was indeed quite average.
After all, she had once been at the pinnacle of the Great Supreme Realm, and the number of exquisite human delicacies she had savored was countless.
Compared to the Archstar World, the Galewind World did seem ancient, but that didn't mean there was no delicious food to be found.
"If you think it's just okay, you might as well throw it away." Qi Yuan was very generous.
Currently, he had quite a substantial savings, and he could afford a cup of milk tea.
"My husband bought it," Ning Tao said, clutching the tea tightly.
Referring to Qi Yuan as her husband, she now resembled Ning Tao even more.
Calling Qi Yuan her blood pearl, she sounded more like Jin Si Que.
Of course, both were one person.
"We haven't gotten our marriage certificate yet, so don't say that. I'll get embarrassed," Qi Yuan shrugged, his eyes twinkling with a smile.
Ning Tao smiled and said, "Then how about I bring the Civil Affairs Bureau over here whenever you want?"
She was being very sincere.
This wasn't just empty talk on the internet; she could actually make it happen.
"No, wait until I win the Martial Arts Tournament and we return to Tian Yue. I don't know anyone here, and without connections, I probably can't get the certificate." Qi Yuan pondered seriously.
Here, he only knew one person, Han Qianyun.
But it would be different in Tian Yue, where he knew Kuanghuan, and Kuanghuan knew people from the Civil Affairs Bureau.
At that time, he could arrange for Ning Tao and Xiao Jia to get ID cards and then legally obtain a marriage certificate.
Everything would be legal.
"Okay," Ning Tao nodded vigorously, agreeing with Qi Yuan's words.
The two of them arrived at the first floor of the mall, and Ning Tao observed the bustling crowd. With a gentle smile, she said, "This gold bracelet is lovely; I want one too."
She noticed a newlywed couple entering to buy a gold bracelet.
Since they were going to get their marriage certificate, they should have some kind of ceremony.
"Yes, you're right. We should buy a gold bracelet," Qi Yuan said, his eyebrows furrowing as he thought, "But how can Xiao Jia wear a bracelet?"
Xiao Jia not only lacked jade feet but also jade hands, so how could she wear a bracelet?
This was a tricky problem.
As he was thinking about this, Ning Tao had already entered the jewelry store.
Qi Yuan thought for a moment and decided to wait outside.
After all, wasn't this how shopping usually went? Women chose items inside while men waited outside.
That was what normal people did.
And he was very normal.
Qi Yuan casually sat on a stool and played with his phone.
At that moment, the sound of footsteps approached.
A group of men with an extraordinary aura entered the mall.
These men were almost uniformly dressed, with short haircuts, and they didn't seem like people to be trifled with.
As soon as they entered, they attracted the attention of many onlookers.
"Are they shooting a short video?"
"Maybe they're filming a web drama?"
Hearing these comments, Qi Yuan was also curious about these men.
But then, he noticed that the group seemed to be heading straight toward him.
Qi Yuan's heart suddenly began to race.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind.
"Could someone have discovered my identity as a parasitic son-in-law?"
"But no one has slapped me, and my mouth isn't crooked?"
Qi Yuan imagined various scenarios.
Would these people kneel down and then say something like, "We welcome the war god"? Qi Yuan's inner world was rich, and his imagination was equally vibrant.
However, the kneeling he had anticipated didn't happen.
The leader of the group walked straight up to him, his face filled with humility and respect, "I am Lan Hai, the Marquis of the Blue Sea. I come with sincerity, and I apologize for any disturbance I may have caused. Please, Mr. Qi, overlook my trespasses."
The visitor was none other than Lan Hai, the Marquis.
To be honest, before the conflict escalated, he still had to play his role convincingly, and he couldn't afford to lose face.
To be fair, Lan Hai's heart was filled with apprehension.
The Seven Martial Star Families had the Heavenly Eye, which could easily pinpoint and eliminate Qi Yuan.
But even so, Qi Yuan could still take him away before being eliminated.
Therefore, this meeting was his way of meeting Qi Yuan.
Mu Shao was the boyfriend of the girl Qi Yuan was with.
Even if Lan Hai was extremely unwilling, he had to be met, or else the one who would die might not just be him but his entire family.
"Oh? Who are you... Do I know you?" Qi Yuan looked at Lan Hai, his eyes filled with puzzlement.
He didn't recognize this... old man.
Qi Yuan's words left Lan Hai at a loss.
He even wondered if he had approached the wrong person. But when he looked at Qi Yuan's face, it matched the photo perfectly.
Qi Yuan didn't know who he was.
Lan Hai felt it was absurd.
"Have you mistaken me for someone else? I have no recollection of you," Qi Yuan said sincerely, "Did I offend you in the past?"
There must be some misunderstanding. I'm a magnanimous person and I never hold grudges. I have no enemies in this world."
Qi Yuan was not one to hold grudges; he would rather eliminate his enemies.
The Marquis of Blue Sea's lips twitched, and he spoke nervously, "Mr. Qi... Recently, someone sent me a coffin..."
Qi Yuan's expression changed slightly, becoming cold, "Was it you?"
He was intelligent and quickly guessed the Marquis' identity from his words.
This Marquis of Blue Sea was the despicable, shameless, and vile person who had secretly hired hackers to snoop on his phone, causing him much distress.
Previously, Ling Yuan had sent the intruder's information to Qi Yuan, who merely glanced at it without reading further, unaware of the hacker's identity.
He had only asked Ling Yuan to send them a coffin.
After the Martial Arts Tournament, Qi Yuan would personally deal with the matter.
Good, now the Marquis had come to him directly.
"I demand an explanation for your previous actions!" Qi Yuan said coldly.
He was a reasonable man and would never kill the innocent.
Most importantly, Qi Yuan believed he had a compassionate heart, and if he hadn't cultivated immortality but instead Buddhism, he might have become the Buddha himself.
"When Mr. Qi annihilated the Gui Ran Military Camp, it caused a huge uproar in the country. The higher-ups were curious about Mr. Qi's identity and various other information, so... I was momentarily possessed and decided to..."
Now, the higher-ups are aware of this matter and have sent me to apologize.
They... sincerely wish to cooperate with Mr. Qi."
Initially, the Marquis of Blue Sea had acted under Mu Shao's orders to investigate Qi Yuan's privacy, even considering stealing his cultivation methods and discovering the secrets behind Qi Yuan's power to seize his immortal fate.
Who would have thought that such advanced hacking skills could be discovered?
"Oh, is that all?" Qi Yuan glanced at the Marquis.
His nose grew slightly longer before returning to normal, indicating that the Marquis' words were a mix of truth and lies, with many attempts to deceive him.
"What cooperation?" Qi Yuan asked.
Cold sweat formed on the Marquis' forehead as he continued, "As long as Mr. Qi lets bygones be bygones and forgives me, the higher-ups are willing to coexist peacefully with Mr. Qi.
However, Mr. Qi needs to hand over the cultivation technique he possesses.
In return, our superiors will not mistreat Mr. Qi and will provide him with cultivation resources."
"If I give it to you, will you dare to take it?" Qi Yuan asked with a smile in his eyes.
The Marquis' heart was in turmoil, and he had already resigned himself to death.
"Of course, the superiors will dare to accept what Mr. Qi offers!" The Marquis said, gritting his teeth.
At this moment, a young man stepped forward from behind the Marquis and spoke slowly, "I suggest Mr. Qi think carefully before acting.
Mr. Qi's power is astonishing, capable of annihilating the Gui Ran Military Camp single-handedly, an unparalleled feat.
But... We, the Seven Star Warriors, control the Sky's Eye in the Qin Yuan Kingdom. We hold the power of life and death over all living beings in this land!"
Whoever dares to offend Qin Yuan, no matter how far, will be punished. Even the former Cansheng was unable to gain any advantage against us.
If anyone dares to cause trouble within our borders, don't blame us for being... ungracious."
The young man's words were blunt, and the threat was palpable.
Qi Yuan, however, remained cheerful, seemingly oblivious to the underlying threat.
"I've always been a law-abiding and helpful person. I often help elderly ladies cross the street.
If you have a Young Pioneers team here, I'm sure to be the team leader, wearing the little red flower every day."
Qi Yuan's words left the Marquis perplexed.
The young man and the Marquis exchanged glances, unsure of how to continue the conversation.
In the 1619 edition, they had already created a psychological profile of Qi Yuan based on publicly available information.
Logically, such a powerful individual would be decisive and intolerant of threats.
Their words should have been enough to provoke him.
Unfortunately, Qi Yuan remained unmoved, even claiming to be helpful.
If... they could truly turn hostility into friendship, wouldn't it mean their mission had failed?
The task Mu Shao gave them was not like that.
Their lives were insignificant, and if they failed, Mu Shao would not spare their families.
They needed to find a reason to anger Qi Yuan, but not too obviously.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be Mu Shao who wouldn't let them off, but another faction that would target their families.
They needed a suitable reason?
The Marquis' mind was in turmoil.
Just then, a very suitable reason presented itself.
However, this reason was too... terrifying.
A loud bang was heard, and a figure fell from the second floor of the gold shop, landing right in front of the Marquis.
The figure's gold-rimmed glasses were shattered, and a bloody gash marked his face, blood flowing freely.
His throat was crushed, and his internal organs seemed to be in disarray.
Looking at the lifeless body on the ground, the Marquis' expression changed, "Mu Shao!"
The lifeless body on the ground was indeed Mu Shao.
The troublesome Qi Yuan would be dealt with by them.
As for the harmless and adorable Xiaomei, she would face Mu Shao.
And the result... Mu Shao died.
The sound of footsteps approached, and along the stairs, Ning Tuo descended, her face adorned with a smile. She wore a black and white striped sweater, and beneath her black skirt, her slender figure was accentuated by tight black stockings.
"He was just boasting about his wealth upstairs, asking if I had ever seen a house made of gold," Ning Tuo said, naturally draping her arm around Qi Yuan as she walked down the stairs.
"He also mentioned wanting to show me the most beautiful weapon, the Sky Eye, and how magnificent it was."
"Oh," Qi Yuan nodded, "You should have left no trace of his body if you had dealt with him."
"But if there's no body left, how would they know... that I killed him?" Ning Tuo's eyes gleamed with murderous intent.
"Husband, let my sword, on your behalf, vanquish these petty mortals!"
In fact, over the past two days, Ning Tuo had been aware of numerous gazes fixated on the two of them.
However, with their brief separation feeling like a honeymoon, neither of them paid any heed to those people.
Today, these people dared to come to their doorstep.
Especially that man who claimed to be from the Mu family, he was so arrogant and domineering.
He even tried to sway Ning Tuo with money.
He even mentioned wanting to test the Sky Eye on Qi Yuan's body.
Ning Tuo sent him straight to the gates of hell.
"Killing Mu Shao... We're done for, we're all done for!" The Marquis of Blue Sea slumped to the ground, his eyes devoid of life.
If he had died, that would have been fine, at least his family would be safe.
But now, Mu Shao was dead.
This was a calamity of epic proportions.
Once, in a city, a second-generation member of the Seven Star Clan was killed by a local second-generation official.
Consequently, the Seven Star Clan issued an order, deploying troops to exterminate the official's entire family.
Even the official's father and his associates within the system were not spared.
The Seven Star Clan held the true military and political power in Qin Yuan Kingdom.
Mu Shao, as a direct descendant of his family, was invaluable.
And now, he lay dead.
Longtai City would soon be in turmoil.
Qi Yuan smiled lightly, unconcerned.
At this moment, they heard Ning Tuo speak, "Where does this man live? Give me the location."
The uniformed men and the Marquis of Blue Sea were stunned.
"Die!" At this moment, one of the uniformed men finally lost his patience and drew his gun, shooting.
Unfortunately, their guns were insignificant before a powerful being like Ning Tuo.
Without even moving, those who dared to attack her fell dead on the spot.
Instantly, fragments of memories flooded Ning Tuo's mind.
"So... it's there!"
She had found the answer, the location of the Mu family.
Next, it was time for...
But just then, she narrowed her eyes, as if peering through the vast sky, a smile playing on her lips.
"This is the Sky Eye. If it were in the Liufeng Realm, it might have caused some trouble, but now? Husband, let me show you fireworks!"
Meanwhile, in the hotel lobby, Mu Longxian's face was filled with horror and unbearable pain.
Mu Jue, the man with gold-rimmed glasses, was his only son, the apple of his eye.
Now, through the hotel's surveillance and drone footage, he saw that his son had been killed.
Killed by that woman! His rage knew no bounds.
"He must die, he must die! Deploy the Sky Eye!"
In this moment, he had lost all reason.
Mu Jue was not just his son, but also the old man's favorite.
If Mu Jue had succeeded the Mu family, he could have become the Grand Emperor.
But with Mu Jue's death, all hopes were dashed.
The officials in the hall, witnessing this, exchanged glances, their faces turning pale.
Han Kang, unable to hold back, advised, "Lord Han, please calm your anger. The Sky Eye cannot be used lightly. Everyone in that area will be affected by its power!"
