The happiness on their faces was hard to suppress.

"Alright, it's settled then."

Huang Zhennan quickly stood up, looking deeply at Qin Qi, the provocation in his gaze couldn't be clearer.

He sneered, "Qin Qi, in three days, I'll be waiting for you at the Huang's estate. This time, with the Governance Department present to coordinate, if you don't show up in three days, you'll be disrupting the Governance Department's order!"

The intent behind those words couldn't be more obvious.

It was a threat to Qin Qi; not showing up would mean opposing the Governance Department.

Qin Qi crossed his arms, speaking calmly, "Don't worry, in three days, we'll see who gets the last laugh!"

"Hahaha!"

Huang Zhennan laughed disdainfully, "Qin Qi, I'll admit you're talented. But do you really think that having just entered the realm of the real ones, you can contend with me?"

"In three days, it will be your death day. Find someone to collect your body! President Gao, let's go!"

After his harsh words, he exchanged a knowing look with Gao Tianshu and strode away.

Old Hu watched as the people from the Three Court Martial Artists Association left, also with no intention of staying longer, he said with his hands behind his back, "Since things are settled, President Xiao, young friend Qin Qi, we'll be going now too!"

"Alright, someone, see Elder Hu and Manager Xu off!" Xiao Qingfeng forced a smile despite his worried face.

Manager Xu smiled gently, "No rush. Mr. Qin, this matter is no small affair. It's best if you and I exchange contact information."

"Hmm?"

Qin Qi was a bit surprised, but he still took out his phone and exchanged contacts with Manager Xu.

Whether it was an illusion or not, he felt Manager Xu gave him a flirty wink as she left!

What Qin Qi didn't know was.

Just as Manager Xu and Elder Hu left the manor.

Elder Hu courteously asked, "Manager Xu, will you be going with me to Jiang province first, or..."

"I'll stay in Su City for two days." Manager Xu laughed softly.

Elder Hu coughed, "Manager Xu, you're not staying because of Qin Qi, are you? This guy's vitality is indeed abundant!"

"Manager Hu, you're meddling too much!" Manager Xu squinted her eyes, her gaze at Elder Hu like a poisonous snake ready to strike.

Elder Hu shivered all over, "Haha, Manager Xu, you're joking. I wouldn't dare meddle in your affairs. Haha, since you wish to stay in Su City for a couple more days, please feel free!"

With that, he hurriedly made his exit.

Inwardly, he felt a silent pity for Qin Qi.

"This woman's eyesight is very discerning, Qin Qi, I don't know if you're lucky or doomed for catching her attention!!"

Meanwhile, Manager Xu also looked in the direction of the manor, gently touching her red lips with a delicate finger, murmuring softly, "Such a man with vitality, haven't seen one in ages!"

Meanwhile, at Qin Qi's side.

After the people from the Governance Department left.

Xiao Qingfeng, seeing no one else around, finally furrowed his brow and said, "Qin Qi, you're being foolish. I know, asking you to give up on Wu Shuangshuang might seem unethical. But facing the Huang family now, against Huang Zhennan, you stand no chance!"

"This time, it's a fight to the death. The Governance Department has given tacit approval; even if no one dies, one side will be greatly weakened. Now you..."

As Qin Qi listened to Xiao Qingfeng's worries.

He suddenly grinned and said, "President Xiao, if I give up on the disciple I took in today, in the future, do you think someone like me would take your Dingshan Association seriously?"

Hearing Qin Qi's words, Xiao Qingfeng was stunned, for a moment unable to say anything.

Qin Qi said warmly, "President Xiao, I understand that you see me as one of your own, and I appreciate it. But a person must have their own principles and limits. If you can abandon those closest to you, then in the future, who will follow you?"

"To think I've lived half my life and have been taught a lesson by you!" Xiao Qingfeng smiled bitterly, "You're right, if you were really that kind of person, I would worry about whether I should entrust the Three Court Association to you."

"But still, what should we do in three days? I may not fear a life-or-death struggle with Gao Tianshu, but what about you and Huang Zhennan?"

Qin Qi spoke in a calm tone, "President Xiao, why are you so sure that I'll definitely lose?"

"Oh?" Xiao Qingfeng looked at Qin Qi's confident expression, momentarily puzzled.

Qin Qi didn't respond, only raising his hand, his True Qi suddenly released.

A palm strike flew toward a vase not far away.

In an instant, the vase shattered on the spot.

Xiao Qingfeng, also a practitioner of the Source Celestial Scripture, couldn't miss Qin Qi's display of True Qi.

He hesitated, his astonishment undeniable, "You, are you saying you've already mastered the first level of the Source Celestial Scripture?"

Qin Qi nodded lightly, "That's right!"

"This, how is this possible!" Xiao Qingfeng swallowed hard, "How did you manage it, I've been practicing for half my life, and you, you've only been cultivating it for a few days?"

Qin Qi was puzzled, "President Xiao, haven't you already mastered it? Are you saying you haven't reached the first level?"

Xiao Qingfeng shook his head vigorously, "If I had reached the first level, would I be this shocked? I know best the difficulty of the Source Celestial Scripture. I haven't reached the first level; strictly speaking, I've only practiced half a level!"

"The True Qi in my body is about 1.1 times stronger than an average real person. Even so, the hardship and difficulty of mastering it are unimaginable."

Qin Qi was puzzled himself.

Though the beginning was tough, it didn't feel particularly challenging later on.

He certainly couldn't think it was simply because he had clever ideas. After all, Xiao Qingfeng had studied it for half his life, and he doubted his methods hadn't been tried by Xiao Qingfeng!

Nevertheless, he shared his approach with Xiao Qingfeng.

After hearing it, Xiao Qingfeng found it even more unbelievable, "I've tried that method, but it's simply not feasible, because the absorption of air essence and the concentration speed can't match the speed of True Qi dispersion!"

"This method doesn't reduce the risk of cultivation; instead, it makes it more dangerous. Qin Qi, you must have some secret key to your talent!"

Qin Qi shook his head, "But what's so special about me?"

He thought Xiao Qingfeng might know.

But Xiao Qingfeng also quickly shook his head, "How would I know? But then again, if Huang Zhennan knew you've mastered the first level of the Source Celestial Scripture, I can't imagine his reaction!"

The two exchanged knowing smiles.

Next, they meticulously devised several plans.

It wasn't until dusk that Qin Qi left the manor.

Xiao Qinghong personally escorted Qin Qi home.

On the way back, Qin Qi's phone suddenly rang.

Looking at it, it was the Governance Department's Manager Xu, with whom he had just exchanged contacts earlier.

This made Qin Qi raise an eyebrow, curiosity welling up, but he answered the phone, "Manager Xu, is there something you need?"

"Little brother Qin Qi, do you have time to have a drink with your elder sister?" Manager Xu's voice rang out, pleasantly like a bell.
