Wu i had followed Helian Wudi for over a decade and certainly understood this man well.
Cunning and deceitful, he would resort to any ans to achieve his goals, and he was extrely suspicious, never trusting anyone easily. Even she, after having been by his side for so long, was not allowed access to many core secrets.
And in Wu City, Murong Qingcheng was but an unknown pawn.
She was commissioned by Qin Yu to have her subordinates help out with a search, yet Helian Wudi personally made a call to reveal this news. Logically, he had too many matters to deal with every day, how could he possibly concern himself with the whereabouts of an insignificant pawn?
Thus, Wu i instinctively felt this might be a trap, that Helian Wudi was using her rely to lure Qin Yu there.
"Of course, this is just my speculation!"
Wu i clutched her mobile phone and added the remark.
She just hoped the guilt in her heart for betraying Helian Wudi would be eased sowhat. She didn't understand why, after following Helian Wudi for over ten years, she had chosen to tip off a man with whom she had only dealt with briefly.
If Helian Wudi ever found out, he would certainly kill her, wouldn't he?
"Wu i, what did you just say? It's a bit noisy over here, I can't hear clearly. I've got sothing else, gotta hang up.... BEEP BEEP!"
From the other end of the call, Qin Yu muttered a couple of words before hanging up.
"Ah, quite a clever man indeed!"
Wu i set down her phone, her sensual lips pursed lightly, and her eyes took on a complex expression.
Qin Yu was a Pill Holding Realm expert with acute senses, and his end was very quiet, with only his own voice, there's no way he could not have heard her words clearly.
She realized her warning was tantamount to betraying Helian Wudi, and he pretended not to hear it because he didn't want her to fall into danger.
Brave and resourceful, with a mind that's delicate and a particularly good hand at finger techniques, it's hard not to love such a man.
Hotel.
Qin Yu's room.
"Qin Yu, I didn't disturb you, did I?"
Yan Mingyu, who was watching TV, turned her head with a puzzled look. From the mont the phone rang, she had paused the TV, and the room was utterly quiet.
"Hmm... it's a long story. I need to step out for a bit. Just stay in the room."
Qin Yu also hadn't expected Wu i would give him a warning, informing him that Murong Qingcheng's presence at Fengyun Villa was a trap.
If Helian Wudi realized this afterward, he would certainly suspect Wu i, and all Qin Yu could do was to pretend he hadn't heard her "warning."
"Okay, be careful!"
Yan Mingyu nodded her head.
Pei Luoyan had asked him to help find Murong Qingcheng, and now that he had so information, he would probably make a trip to bring the person back.
Soon after,
Qin Yu stepped out into the hallway and dialed Pei Luoyan's number, saying directly, "I have news about Qingcheng. Don't get excited, I need you to do sothing for . Yeah, I'll see you in the parking lot later. Besides that, you don't need to do anything else. Just wait for my news."
If this was indeed a trap, then Pei Luoyan's abilities wouldn't be of much help. It would be better to go according to his own plan, which would most likely allow for the smooth retrieval of Murong Qingcheng.
After hanging up the call, Qin Yu knocked on and entered Lu Wenrou's room.
To his surprise, Ou Changfeng was also there, smiling and chatting with Lu Wenrou. Seeing Qin Yu enter, he restrained his smile and put on an air of arrogance.
Qin Yu felt a bit speechless, finding Ou Changfeng rather childish. These people, raised in major sects and unfamiliar with secular life, had incredible skills but were as naive as blank slates when it ca to social niceties.
Naturally, he didn't take Ou Changfeng's attitude to heart. He nodded slightly and said to Lu Wenrou on the sofa, "I need to talk to you about sothing, let's step outside!"
"Okay!"
Lu Wenrou stood up, ready to go out with Qin Yu.
"Wenrou, I'll co too!"
Ou Changfeng imdiately followed.
"Cousin, I'm discussing business with Qin Yu!"
Lu Wenrou said with a touch of a headache, reflecting Qin Yu's opinion that her cousin in his twenties was often much like a child.
"I don't feel at ease!"
Ou Changfeng stubbornly said.
"Ou Changfeng, do you like Wenrou?"
Qin Yu glanced at Ou Changfeng and suddenly said.
"Ah?"
Ou Changfeng was startled, his face rapidly turning red, looking even uglier. Sowhat annoyed, he said, "What nonsence are you talking about? Wenrou is my sister!"
"Cousin!"
After Qin Yu corrected him, he continued, "In the olden days, the law seed to allow marriage between male and female cousins, right? You grew up in a prominent sect that still adheres to the old societal thoughts and rules, so you think that liking your cousin is perfectly normal, am I wrong?"
"Say nonsense again, and I... I'll cripple you!"
Ou Changfeng beca even more exasperated, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, his fur bristling.
"Qin Yu, let's go outside first!"
Lu Wenrou hurriedly pulled Qin Yu out and locked the door from outside.
The two took the elevator and didn't stop until they reached the roof. There, Lu Wenrou crossed her arms, allowing the spring breeze to tease her bangs and revealing a pair of puzzled eyes: "My cousin really likes , how did you figure it out?"
To rise from a delivery boy to a master of the Bao Dan Realm required not only intelligence but also emotional quotient, and Lu Wenrou sowhat trusted Qin Yu's judgnt.
"The way he looks at you is similar to how I look at Mingyu. Plus, he shows a faint hostility towards , because I've been close to you!"
Qin Yu shrugged and said.
"Uh... Looks like I'm as slow in matters of the heart as I am in martial arts practice!"
After a mont of stunned silence, Lu Wenrou said self-deprecatingly.
"Hmm... Are you and your cousin related by blood?"
Qin Yu thought for a mont before asking.
There were cousins with blood ties and without.
"I don't think so, he's the son of a distant uncle, but we often played together as kids, so we're pretty familiar!"
Lu Wenrou replied, not entirely sure herself.
"Well, if he truly cares for you and loves you with all his heart, it's not unthinkable. In love, try to be the one who is loved. Don't actively pursue loving soone; that can be very painful!"
Qin Yu might not be a love expert, but he certainly had more experience in romance than novice Lu Wenrou.
"I'm not even thinking about romance right now! Right, you said you had sothing to tell ?"
After shaking her head, Lu Wenrou changed the subject.
"Yes, later on, you should do this, do that..."
Qin Yu walked a few steps, then spoke in a lowered voice next to Lu Wenrou's ear.
"Okay, no problem!"
Lu Wenrou agreed promptly.
"Let's head down then, I still need to find Xiao Bai!"
After finishing his sentence, Qin Yu walked with Lu Wenrou towards the exit of the rooftop.
"Mr. Qin, are you talking behind my back?"
However, Ou Changfeng ca up glaring, looking at Qin Yu and angrily asking.
"Are you jealous?"
Qin Yu arched an eyebrow.
"I... I really need to beat you up!"
In terms of eloquence, Ou Changfeng, who often stayed in the mountains with limited social interaction, was certainly no match for Qin Yu.
His face a shade redder, he tapped his feet and suddenly appeared in front of Qin Yu.
