Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Three days later, I will wait for him at the Hong Family!

Beijiang.
Inside the villa of the Hong Family.
Yu Qing sat in the main seat while Hong Yuan, his son Hong Ming, and Qin Tian all stood respectfully to one side.
Yu Qing’s expression was indifferent, “Are you saying that Xue An is not currently in Beijiang?”
Hong Ming replied eagerly, “That’s right! I’ve already sent people to check, he left Beijiang two days ago!”
“Do you know what he went to do?” Yu Qing said blandly.
“That… I’m not too sure,” said Hong Ming.
“That little bitch Qin Yu must know!” Qin Tian suddenly spat out venomously.
Qin Tian’s circumstances were extremely miserable by now, having been expelled from the Longtai Group by Qin Yuan, and all his savings had been frozen.
And seeing him fall from grace, his wife ran off with their possessions.
He was like a stray dog, unable to find peace day or night.
Until that day, as he sat frowning in the shabby house he had rented, Yu Qing came to him.
At first, Qin Tian didn’t take Yu Qing seriously.
But later, he discovered that this man who appeared to be just in his thirties was terrifyingly formidable.
Only then did Qin Tian learn that this person was Liu Shou’s junior brother and had come to Beijiang specifically to investigate the cause of Liu Shou’s death.
Qin Tian was overjoyed and promptly led Yu Qing to the Hong Family’s place.
At this moment, hearing Qin Tian’s words, Yu Qing slightly nodded his head.
“Alright, where can we find Qin Yu?”
“She goes to the Town North Martial Arts Academy every day!”
Town North Martial Arts Academy.
The largest martial arts academy in Beijiang, and Tan Dong, stationed there, was a martial arts master with a minor nationwide reputation.
As the heiress of the Longtai Group, Qin Yu was distinguished and naturally would not train with those ordinary disciples outside.
She was in a small courtyard at the very back of the Town North Martial Arts Academy, personally instructed by Tan Dong.
Today, Qin Yu was practicing with intense concentration.
Tan Dong watched from the side, feeling somewhat emotional.
Ever since the auction day, Miss Qin seemed to have been stimulated in some way, practicing like mad at the academy every day.
Her progress was astonishingly fast; she had already mastered the Swimming Dragon Palm to some extent.
But just then, a commotion suddenly arose outside.
Then a disciple rushed in hurriedly.
“Master, someone is challenging the academy!”
Challenging the academy.
This kind of incident had not occurred at the Town North Martial Arts Academy for a long time.
However, Tan Dong remained calm and nodded, “I understand, I’ll go over right away…”.
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the courtyard door burst open violently, and several of his proud disciples were sent flying in with a single punch.
This scene caused Tan Dong’s complexion to change drastically.
Some of his disciples had been studying for ten years, second only to him in skill, yet they were sent flying in with a single punch.
Just who was this formidable expert?
While he was still in shock, a man with an ordinary face but a deep and towering presence slowly walked in.
It was none other than Yu Qing.
He was following the orders of his master, Lei Ling of Compass Point, to descend the mountain and investigate the death of his senior brother Liu Shou.
Upon arriving in Beijiang, he found that the murderer was an unknown commoner and was not in Beijiang.
Wanting to avenge his senior brother as soon as possible, he couldn’t be bothered with formal visits, so he directly stormed into the Town North Martial Arts Academy.
The disciples were indignant about his behavior and tried to stop him, but they couldn’t even withstand a single punch from him.
At this moment.
Yu Qing cast a nonchalant glance over the people in the courtyard before nodding slightly to Qin Yu. “This must be Miss Qin. May I ask where Xue An is?”
He was here for Xue An.
Qin Yu’s heart leapt to her throat.
This man obviously was no ordinary person; what did he want with Xue An?
Seeming to perceive Qin Yu’s question, Yu Qing gave a faint smile, revealing his chillingly white teeth.
“The man who died at the auction was my senior brother. I’m Yu Qing.”
A chill ran through Qin Yu’s heart because when this man smiled, he resembled a ferocious tiger bearing its teeth at you, which was extremely frightening. At this moment, Tan Dong took a step forward, positioning himself between Yu Qing and Qin Yu.
“My friend, you come in without a greeting, hurt my disciple, isn’t that somewhat rude?” said Tan Dong, brimming with anger.
“And who might you be?” asked Yu Qing.
“I am the head of the Zhenbei Martial Arts Academy, Tan Dong!” Tan Dong said sternly.
Yu Qing nodded, “So it seems you’re quite dissatisfied! Fine, if you can take one punch from me, I’ll leave immediately and never return to Beijiang!”
“Fine!” Tan Dong agreed without hesitation.
If he backed down now, the reputation of Zhenbei Martial Arts Academy would be thoroughly tarnished.
A trace of contemptuous smile played at the corner of Yu Qing’s mouth, then with a light shout, he threw a punch directly at Tan Dong.
Tan Dong’s expression grew serious, he took a horse stance and exerted all his strength to receive the punch.
Boom.
The punch hit Tan Dong like a shooting star.
Tan Dong’s face turned from red to white and he didn’t last even a second; he was blasted off the ground and smashed into a wall, only then slowly slid down and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, unable to speak.
“Master Tan!” Qin Yu screamed in alarm.
Tan Dong waved his hand weakly, then looked at Yu Qing with a hint of fear and said intermittently, “Is… is this the Xiaoyao Realm?”
Yu Qing withdrew his fist, standing proudly.
“Indeed, this is the Xiaoyao Realm!”
Tan Dong gave a bitter smile, recognizing that he had been thoroughly defeated.
This man, no more than in his thirties, had already made a breakthrough beyond the Zhenren Realm, becoming a person of Xiaoyao who could live up to one hundred and fifty years.
The gap in strength was like the difference between heaven and earth; he had no grounds to object to his loss.
Yu Qing turned to look at Qin Yu, “I give you three days. In three days, I will be at the Hong Family waiting for Xue An. If he does not show up, then all of you must die!”
After saying these threatening words, Yu Qing turned and left.
Qin Yu helped Tan Dong up and then watched Yu Qing and the others leave with a complex expression.
“Master Tan, are you okay?”
Tan Dong shook his head, “It’s just some internal injuries, nothing serious. This person held back, or else I would have died on the spot! His strength is terrifyingly high!”
Qin Yu spoke with concern, “Then… is Xue An a match for him?”
Tan Dong said with a wry smile, “I can see through this person, but Mr. Xue, I can’t see through him at all. You might say he is a martial arts master, but it doesn’t show at all from his appearance!”
“Miss Qin, you’d better find Mr. Xue quickly, and do not delay, because a master like Yu Qing will definitely do as he says. By then, you all will be in danger!”
Qin Yu nodded gravely, “I understand, I will go find Mr. Xue right now!” Meanwhile, as Qin Yu hurried to Qingmang Town.
Xue An was sitting cross-legged by the side of a pond, meditating.
The Spiritual Energy here was much denser than the outside world, which was perfect for helping Xue An make a breakthrough in the Zhenren Realm.
In fact, with Xue An’s current strength, he could have easily made the breakthrough already.
However, Xue An had suffered in his previous life from an unstable foundation, so this time, he was determined to make his foundation unshakably solid before advancing.
As Xue An absorbed, Spiritual Energy began to form a visibly swirling vortex above his head.
This phenomenon astonished Xue Lan.
Whereas Xue Xiang and Xue Nian were somewhat used to it; to the two of them, their Papa was invincible..
