Chapter 60: Chapter 60 The Benefits of Dual Cultivation
Just as Ye Fei was about to ask her what she was doing, he suddenly saw a white mist emanating from Ye Yunqi's hands, like steam rising from a cup of hot water placed in a cold place. However, this mist condensed and did not disperse, only lingering around her small hands.
"Condensing Qi into form?" Ye Fei couldn't help but exclaim. Although he had not practiced the family's inherited internal cultivation techniques before, he was knowledgeable about these superficial matters.
Condensing Qi into form meant being able to solidify the internal true essence into a tangible form, demonstrating it in a visual way. Ye Yunqi's mist-like true essence at this moment was precisely in the initial stage of condensing Qi into form.
Although it was only the initial stage of condensing Qi into form, no one could underestimate this strength because, as far as they knew, it was not common for martial practitioners in this circle to achieve this. Even if there were such individuals, they were mostly renowned experts over forty years old. The youngest they had heard of was their cousin, Liu Junyi, who had achieved this step at just thirty years old, a rare talent that appears once in a hundred years.
"Yes." Seeing that Ye Fei also thought so, Ye Yunqi affirmed her own feelings, saying, "It is indeed condensing Qi into form, and I feel that my Liu Family's cultivation method has already reached the fifth level."
Ye Yunqi's words surprised Ye Fei once again. The fifth level? What a joke! It was known that currently in the entire Liu Family, only Liu Junyi had reached the fifth level. Their mother and aunt were still at the fourth level. Thinking back to yesterday when Ye Yunqi had dropped back to the second level, it was unexpected that overnight she had jumped three levels.
"Yes, it's the fifth level!" Ye Yunqi repeated confidently. This change brought her immense joy. Considering that their talented cousin had only reached the second level at ten years old, and she had just entered the fifth level at the beginning of this year, she had equaled twenty years of hard work in just one night. Ye Yunqi was ecstatic and without thinking said, "Brother, why don't you also practice dual cultivation with mom and aunt!"
Ye Fei's heart couldn't help but leap. Ever since that almost crazy thought was awakened by Ye Ningsuan, he had been suppressing it. However, today his younger sister had brought it up again. Although he wanted to agree, he dared not, fearing that his sister might have other thoughts if she knew about his intentions. So he quickly changed the subject, saying, "Let me first turn you, this little seductress, into a great expert!"
In reality, Ye Fei's fear of his sister having thoughts was false. He couldn't pass his own judgement. Having acquired the heart of a strong individual, he was vulnerable only when facing Liu Yiru, unable to withstand any criticism, and feared that his goddess might have a negative opinion of him.
Unfortunately, what Ye Fei didn't know was that if he had expressed his thoughts, Ye Yunqi would definitely support him. Just like Ye Fei, in Ye Yunqi's eyes, Liu Yiru was also a goddess-like figure. She had never thought that anyone could match her mother, not even her deceased father. But now, she believed that Ye Fei had that qualification.
As for their relationship, she didn't consider it because she and Ye Fei were like twins, just as close to each other as to their mother. This hesitation caused Ye Fei to miss the opportunity to gain Ye Yunqi's support in advance and would lead to many problems in the future regarding Liu Yiru.
While Ye Fei and his sister were excited about Ye Yunqi's powerful advancement, their aunt, Liu Fengyi, was extremely suspicious.
After a whole night of interrogation, the black wolf, who was on the brink of collapse, finally revealed the purpose of the unknown man who had contacted him. Hearing this, Ming Yuexin was extremely shocked. She never imagined that not only did she inadvertently cause trouble last night, but the person she influenced had the same goal as her. This made her feel extremely guilty and also made her feel it necessary to report this matter to Liu Fengyi.
Looking at the time, it was already past six in the morning. Without much thought, Ming Yuexin directly dialed Liu Fengyi's private phone number.
Very few people knew this number, only Liu Fengyi's family and her most trusted confidants. Ming Yuexin was extremely grateful to Liu Fengyi for giving her this number, to the extent that she was willing to bend the rules for her, among other reasons.
Liu Fengyi, who was awakened by the ringing phone, felt a bit disgruntled. Although her encounter with Tian Lu last night was just a fleeting pleasure, it brought her a satisfaction she hadn't experienced in nearly a decade, leading her to sleep deeply and sweetly. Because of this, her tone was a bit off when she answered the phone.
Ming Yuexin, delighted by the strong reinforcement the Liu family had gained, was so happy that she didn't notice any hint of dissatisfaction in Liu Fengyi's voice. She cheerfully said, "Mayor Liu, this is Ming Yuexin. I hope I'm not disturbing you?"
Upon hearing that it was Ming Yuexin on the line, Liu Fengyi's anger dissipated instantly. Like Zhou Mingming, Ming Yuexin was her absolute confidante. Setting work aside, she had a great fondness for this resilient young woman. Thus, she softened her tone and asked, "What's the matter, Xin'er?"
"It's like this," Ming Yuexin summarized the situation and recounted the incident involving the Black Wolf Kuerde, before seeking advice, "How do you think we should handle this matter?"
Liu Fengyi, however, didn't seem concerned. After all, the Black Wolf Gang was a criminal organization, and disturbances like this were quite common.
Regarding Ming Yuexin's report, she said, "You handle it. The Black Wolf Gang is just a bunch of clowns. There's unlikely to be any useful information from them."
"But..." Ming Yuexin hesitated for a moment, glanced around, and seeing no one nearby, she lowered her voice and said, "According to the Black Wolf's confession, it seems that the person last night was targeting the Liu family."
"Oh?" Liu Fengyi's interest was piqued. She couldn't fathom who would be helping the Liu family. It couldn't be her younger sister, Liu Junyi, as she would have informed her beforehand.
Realizing the need to investigate further, she instructed Ming Yuexin, "Alright, I'll head over. Keep an eye on the Black Wolf for now." With that, she hung up the phone.
Tian Lu had been awake while Liu Fengyi was on the phone but refrained from speaking to avoid disturbing her. When Liu Fengyi hung up, she smiled and asked, "Fengyi, it seems being a mayor isn't an easy job at all. You're already so busy early in the morning."
At their age, many women were quite open-minded about many things. Despite the blissful experience the two had shared the previous night, Tian Lu seemed unaffected as if nothing had happened.
