“You’re going too? My mother said she’s been looking for an opportunity to thank you.”

Ye Chenxi was excited. She could feel Ye Qingmei’s good impression of Chu Qing. After all, Chu Qing was Ye Qingmei’s savior and he used his prowess to turn the tide in the Ye family.

“Hmm… It’s not just about that. There’s something more important.”

Chu Qing smiled mysteriously.

“What is it?”

“I’m not telling you.”

Chu Qing tightly gripped Ye Chenxi’s hand as they leaped out of the van. As they landed, a small crowd had already gathered, and four or five police cars encircled the area.

…..

Chu Qing disregarded the police officers since the affairs of the ancient martial arts families were handled internally within their own system. It operated separately from the ordinary world’s jurisdiction.

In truth, martial artists and ordinary people were, to a certain extent, no longer comparable. As a result, the country would assign special individuals with exceptional abilities to govern them. One could say that the world of martial artists was more advanced than that of ordinary people.

As for immortal cultivators, they were on a completely different level from them.

It was precisely due to this reason that the country extended certain support and consideration to these ancient martial arts families. As long as they refrained from causing excessive trouble and negative social repercussions, they had the freedom to conduct their affairs as they pleased.

Ye Chenxi went up to negotiate with the police, while Chu Qing had his hands in his pockets and looked sloppy. He was still wearing his school uniform.

“Brother Chu Qing, are you done?”

Zhai Yu had been waiting there. His luxury car attracted the attention of many passers-by. There were even people taking photos beside the car. Seeing Chu Qing come out of the car, Zhai Yu walked up and asked.

“Well, some losers kidnapped my friend.”

Chu Qing said casually.

Zhai Yu wanted to ridicule him. Chu Qing had already beaten them up so badly and he still called him losers…

Despite lacking formidable cultivation techniques or internal strength, Zhai Yu had dedicated his practice to a mysterious technique called the Golden Pupils, which enhanced his eyesight.

Not only was he adept at appraising various treasures, but his unique ability could also affect one’s mind. While it couldn’t inflict any harm, in the realm of commerce, this mystical skill proved to be more influential than martial arts.

Just now, he had relied on his Golden Pupils to observe the battle scenes. However, there were still some scenes that he did not see clearly, but this was enough for Zhai Yu to analyze Chu Qing’s strength.

Chu Qing was young and even wearing a school uniform. Yet, he owned a precious treasure like a Spirit Stone that had never appeared in the world. Moreover, he had such shocking combat power. Zhai Yu was filled with curiosity about Chu Qing.

Ye Chenxi seemed to have finished talking to the police officers and hurriedly walked to Chu Qing’s side. At this moment, she saw Chu Qing talking to a young man who seemed to be quite close.

“He is…”

Ye Chenxi asked.

“He’s a member of the World Treasures Auction House. As for what he does…”

Halfway through his sentence, Chu Qing was in a dilemma. Only then did he realize that he didn’t even know who Zhai Yu was exactly. Could he be the young master?

“Heh, I’m the youngest child in the Zhai family. My family sent me to Jinmen City to manage the auction house.”

Zhai Yu seemed to have noticed Chu Qing’s dilemma and took the initiative to speak.

“Y-Yea. That’s it.”

Chu Qing scratched his head awkwardly and introduced Ye Chenxi to Zhai Yu.

“Oh? So you’re Ye Chenxi, the eldest daughter of the Ye family. I was wondering why Brother Chu Qing was so nervous just now…”

The three of them got into the car. Ye Chenxi was rather surprised by this luxury car. Her eyes were filled with fondness.

“This car looks great. Chu Yu, why are you considering buying a sports car like this?”

Ye Chenxi touched the car door lovingly.

“Of course. Do you think 1’11 prefer to drive a Beetle instead?”

Zhai Yu smiled, lit a cigarette, and started the engine.

The engine of the Lamborghini roared as they sped away.

Zhai Yu escorted them back to the Ye family, and Chu Qing proposed treating him to a meal. Despite Zhai Yu not appearing to hold any significant position within the family, his prompt response earlier garnered Chu Qing’s respect. At the very least, Zhai Yu seemed like a trustworthy and capable friend.

Zhai Yu could tell that Chu Qing seemed to have something on today, so he rejected him and only accepted Chu Qing’s gratitude.

Ye Chenxi smiled contentedly as she watched Zhai Yu drive away.

“He’s quite straightforward. Moreover, he likes to race.”

“Race?”

“Yes, I can tell from the way he drives that he’s definitely a racer.”

Ye Chenxi said confidently, which surprised Chu Qing.

“How can you tell?”

“Because I race, too.”

Ye Chenxi turned around and left elegantly.

“This girl…”

Chu Qing was stunned for a moment. He smiled bitterly and followed her..
