Qin Heng returned ho with Song Ningran, who was still shaken.
As their housekeeper, Yun Lingsu had already diligently prepared the al and was setting the table.
Qin Yun, Wu Yuqing, and Xia Shuang were all waiting for Qin Heng and Song Ningran's return. They were extrely worried about Song Ningran; after all, the text ssages she had sent earlier were truly terrifying!
"Brother! You're back! Are you okay? And Sister Ran, are you okay too?" Qin Yun was the first to run over, looking Qin Heng and Song Ningran up and down.
Only after confirming neither of them was hard did she let out a long sigh of relief and say with a laugh, "Oh, thank goodness you're alright! You're both fine! You had us worried sick just now!"
"It's good that you're both okay. Sister Ran, Qin Heng, tonight was quite an ordeal. Let's eat first. It'll help calm Sister Ran's nerves, and we can also treat Qin Heng for his efforts," Wu Yuqing and Xia Shuang said with smiles.
They too were very worried about Song Ningran, afraid that sothing terrible might have happened to her.
After all, a woman as exceptionally beautiful as Song Ningran would be targeted by many at social gatherings. There's no telling what vile things so people, coveting her beauty, might do.
"Mhm, thank you, everyone!" Song Ningran said gratefully, nodding, her eyes slightly red. She gently squeezed Qin Heng's hand and added, "Of course, I'm most thankful to Qin Heng."
"If he hadn't rushed over to save , I..."
As she spoke, she recalled the indignity of the evening, the disgusting faces of Zhao Zhongjian and Jonson Charles. Her voice inevitably took on a sobbing tone, tears welling in her eyes.
Any young woman experiencing sothing like that would suffer significant emotional trauma.
If not for Qin Heng's tily arrival, the consequences would have been unthinkable. Given Song Ningran's personality, she would likely have sought death on the spot to avoid disgrace!
"It's okay now. Everything is over; those people are dead. It's all okay now," Qin Heng said softly, gently stroking Song Ningran's hair, soothing her unsettled mind.
Subsequently, everyone took their seats. This update ??s available on novel[f]ire
Yun Lingsu stood to the side; it wasn't her place to sit. She looked as though she wanted to say sothing but hesitated.
A little while later, seeing that Song Ningran's emotions had seemingly stabilized sowhat, Yun Lingsu finally couldn't hold back her question.
"Young Master Qin, just now, I was helping Miss Qin Yun and the others with their research. Among the foreign visitors who ca to the Tianhai Museum, was there one called Jonson Charles?" Yun Lingsu inquired tentatively.
"That's right," Qin Heng nodded and looked at her, asking casually, "Is there a problem?"
"This man is Lancelot's heir from the English Transcendent organization, the Knights of the Round Table. He wields the divine sword known as Undying Light of the Lake. He is also an S-rank peak expert, equivalent to a Great Grandmaster at the pinnacle of the Innate Realm. His strength is comparable to so Sect Masters of Ancient Divine Sects. Did you not encounter him this ti, Young Master Qin?" Yun Lingsu asked, a hint of confusion in her voice.
Regarding Qin Heng's strength, she still didn't have a clear understanding. After all, she'd heard that Zhong Shenxi, who was killed at the Suzhou-Hangzhou Martial Dao Conference, was actually just a Divine Dao Incarnation, not his true body. Therefore, in Yun Lingsu's view, although Qin Heng's strength was formidable, it probably hadn't yet reached the level where he could be compared to the Sect Masters of the top Ancient Divine Sects. At most, he might be close, but ultimately still a bit weaker. If Qin Heng had encountered Jonson Charles this ti, she believed the odds would have been against him. After all, his opponent was one of the world-renowned Twelve Round Table Knights and had inherited Lancelot's armor and mythical sword, making him extrely powerful! Even peak Innate Grandmasters might not be his match. If Qin Heng had run into him, he would likely have been killed or at least severely injured, not returning unscathed as he did.
"Is he that strong?" Qin Heng asked casually, taking a bite of food. "Does he have any notable achievents?"
Qin Yun, Wu Yuqing, and the others also put down their chopsticks and turned their attention to Yun Lingsu, equally curious. When they had previously researched Jonson Charles, Yun Lingsu had told them he was exceptionally powerful. That's why they had been worried about Qin Heng. However, Yun Lingsu hadn't fully explained just how powerful Jonson Charles was, so they didn't know much about him.
"Well..." Yun Lingsu paused briefly, nodded, and said, "Young Master Qin, are you aware of the Myth Organization? It's affiliated with the Chinese governnt, using the nas of ancient Immortal Gods as their codenas and practicing corresponding ancient Divine Skills. They are very powerful indeed!"
"Wow, there's such an organization?" Qin Yun's eyes twinkled with excitent. "That sounds so cool! Can you call yourself sothing like the West Queen Mother, Lady of the Nine Heavens, or Star Lord of Taiyin?"
"Exactly," Yun Lingsu nodded, just about to explain further when Qin Heng interjected nonchalantly, cutting her off.
"The West Emperor is one of the two Saints of the Myth Organization," he said. "Lady of the Nine Heavens is a Semi-Saint of the Myth Organization. As for the title Star Lord of Taiyin, I believe that doesn't exist yet."
"You actually know so much, Young Master Qin," Yun Lingsu couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise as she looked at Qin Heng.
The Myth Organization was a secret even within the hidden sects. Ordinary martial artists had no clue about it, and even the weaker hidden Martial Dao sects weren't privy to its existence. After all, it was affiliated with the Chinese governnt and possessed nurous Innate Grandmasters, Semi-Saints, and even Saints. Its strength was overwhelming. If it were widely known, it could cause significant turmoil. Yun Lingsu was only aware of this secret because she was the rising star of the Divine Sword Sect, the most outstanding disciple of the younger generation, and deeply favored by her master. Originally, she had thought this would be an opportunity to flaunt her knowledge and heritage before Qin Heng, but to her surprise, Qin Heng already knew it all.
Yun Lingsu thought, However, he probably doesn't know Jonson Charles's achievents.
"Since Young Master Qin is already inford, that makes things easier," Yun Lingsu said with a smile. "Jonson Charles's codena is Lancelot, sowhat similar to the Myth Organization. In fact, he once fought a powerful mber of the Myth Organization. It is said that half a year ago in the East Sea, Jonson Charles and a fellow Round Table Knight with the codena 'Gao Wen' ambushed a Semi-Saint of the Myth Organization, a powerful figure codenad Lady of the Nine Heavens. In the end, the two of them together forced Lady of the Nine Heavens to use her ultimate Divine Skill just to repel them. This alone shows their formidable strength."
A Semi-Saint is a powerhouse with one foot in the Dao of Saints. Lady of the Nine Heavens, especially as a practitioner of ancient Divine Skills, was extrely strong! Normally, her strength would far surpass that of a peak Innate Great Grandmaster; she might even be capable of killing an Innate Grandmaster with a single slap!
The fact that Jonson Charles and 'Gao Wen,' with strength rely akin to the Innate Realm, could push a Semi-Saint like Lady of the Nine Heavens to such an extent, truly demonstrated their imnse power.
Yun Lingsu, feigning a sigh of relief, smiled and said, "It's a good thing you didn't run into Jonson Charles this ti, Young Master Qin. Otherwise, it really would have been dangerous. Even if it were just him alone, the level of threat would be extrely high."
The implication of her words was that Qin Heng wouldn't be a match for Jonson Charles; if they had t, Qin Heng probably wouldn't have returned.
Song Ningran frowned slightly, then suddenly stood up. Looking at Yun Lingsu, she said, "Actually, you're mistaken..."
