Chen Yang shook his head and said, "It's nothing." The two entered Chen Yang's rented room.
The room was a bit messy.
Chen Yang sat on the bed, silent.
Su Qing poured him a glass of water. Chen Yang took it, looked at Su Qing, and then said, "Sister Qing, aren't you afraid of me?"
Su Qing was slightly stunned.
Then she shook her head and said, "I'm not afraid."
Actually, the scene of Chen Yang killing someone kept flashing in her mind. She was somewhat scared, but she knew she couldn't say that at this moment. Besides, she also admired Chen Yang.
Su Qing suddenly remembered something and said, "But you did kill someone. Won't there be any trouble?"
Chen Yang said, "No, we signed a life-and-death agreement. This matter will be handled cleanly by One-Eye and his men."
Su Qing asked, "What about those lay disciples of Shaolin? Won't they cause you trouble?"
Chen Yang looked at Su Qing and then said, "There will be some trouble, but I can't say exactly what. In my heart, I sighed, knowing that the good times were over. I had to leave this rented room to avoid dragging Su Qing into it."
There was an indescribable emotion.
At this moment, Su Qing felt extremely uneasy and conflicted. She sensed some clues in Chen Yang's words, and also his intention to leave. But at this moment, she couldn't say anything. Asking Chen Yang to stay would require great courage.
And Su Qing didn't think she had that courage.
At this moment, Chen Yang's phone rang. It was a call from Tang Qingqing.
Chen Yang answered. Immediately, Tang Qingqing's voice, filled with complex emotions, came through. She said, "Chen Yang, I want to see you."
Chen Yang could feel that Tang Qingqing had mustered a lot of courage to make this call. So he didn't hesitate and said in a relaxed tone, "Where are you? I'll come find you."
Tang Qingqing felt Chen Yang's gentleness, and her mood brightened a bit. She said, "I'm at home, come over."
Chen Yang was slightly surprised but still said, "Okay!"
After hanging up, Chen Yang looked at Su Qing and said, "Sister Qing, I need to go out for a while. Tomorrow I'll go with you to the mobile phone shop where you work to get your salary."
Su Qing nodded, looking a bit distracted.
Chen Yang sighed lightly, said no more, and left.
After leaving, Chen Yang got into his Xiali car. He started the engine skillfully and drove out.
He headed towards the Liuyue Villa District.
Half an hour later, Chen Yang arrived outside the villa district. The security guard was diligent and didn't let Chen Yang in. Helpless, Chen Yang called Tang Qingqing. She came out to meet him, and that's how Chen Yang was smoothly brought in.
Tang Qingqing was still wearing that red dress, elegant and noble.
After parking the car, Chen Yang followed Tang Qingqing into the villa. He didn't forget to ask, "Where's Qingxue?"
Tang Qingqing said, "She went to the company."
Chen Yang asked again, "Where's your cousin?"
Tang Qingqing said, "He went back to Foshan."
Chen Yang said, "Oh." After that, he didn't know what to say.
There was a clear change between the two, no longer able to joke and tease each other as before.
Tang Qingqing's expression was calm. Chen Yang didn't know what she was thinking.
The villa was a duplex. The living room was clean and elegant, with a red carpet on the floor.
They sat on the sofa.
Chen Yang saw red wine on the coffee table, and Tang Qingqing smelled of alcohol. Obviously, she had been drinking. Her hair was draped over her back, and she looked a bit languid, adding to her charm.
Tang Qingqing brought a wine glass for Chen Yang and said, "Let's have a drink."
Chen Yang smiled slightly and said, "A drink is fine, but I'm afraid you'll take advantage of me when you're drunk. If you try to XO me, how can I resist you?"
Tang Qingqing was slightly stunned, then a trace of joy flashed in her eyes. She wasn't angry. The joy was because of Chen Yang's generosity and non-resentment.
Her eyes suddenly turned red, and a tear glistened at the corner. "I'm sorry," she said.
Chen Yang looked at her calmly, smiled, and said, "There's nothing to be sorry for. I've never blamed you all."
Tang Qingqing looked at Chen Yang, somewhat agitated, and said, "You risked your life to help us, yet we doubted and questioned you. Why don't you blame us? I think I might feel better if you scolded me."
Chen Yang picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then said, "Qingqing, don't think like that. Trust needs time. I suddenly appeared, so it's normal for you to be suspicious. It's human nature!"
At this moment, Chen Yang appeared mature and sophisticated, no longer the lecherous little security guard.
Tang Qingqing's mood eased a bit. She continued, "You and Mu Jing just met, but she trusts you completely. I feel unworthy of your kindness."
Chen Yang looked at Tang Qingqing and thought she was a kind-hearted girl. He said, "Mu Jing is an expert. She's the same kind of person as me, so she understands me better."
"You really don't blame us at all?" Tang Qingqing asked, her watery eyes wide.
Chen Yang smiled wryly and said, "If I blamed you, why would I come here?"
Tang Qingqing finally let out a long breath and said, "Then you must come to the company tomorrow."
Chen Yang nodded and said, "Of course, no problem. But I have some personal matters to attend to in the morning, so I might come in the afternoon."
Tang Qingqing said, "That's fine."
Chen Yang smiled.
Tang Qingqing then asked, "You won't blame Qingxue either, right?"
Chen Yang said, "Of course not."
"Alright then, you can go now." Tang Qingqing stood up and smiled slyly, "It's not good for a man and a woman to be alone together. It could cause rumors."
Chen Yang was speechless but still got up and said, "Okay."
Tang Qingqing saw Chen Yang to the door. Suddenly, she called out, "Chen Yang."
Chen Yang turned around in confusion, and at that moment, Tang Qingqing grabbed his hand.
Chen Yang was shocked and froze.
---
Later, when considering how to handle things in the future, Chen Yang thought about the lay disciples of Shaolin. They were a group, a hornet's nest. Although he wasn't afraid of them, one wrong move could affect innocent people.
After thinking for a long time, Chen Yang still had no clue. He realized he could only take things as they come.
Chen Yang's character was naturally resilient and optimistic. He soon lay down and fell asleep.
He woke up at five in the afternoon, suddenly hearing the sound of running water from the bathroom next door.
It was Su Qing taking a shower.
Chen Yang immediately felt invigorated and jumped up.
He quickly went to the bathroom door, knowing that there wouldn't be many more opportunities to see this wonderful scene. He had to seize the moment.
He felt that no matter how many worries he had, just sneaking a peek at Su Qing showering, seeing her beautiful body, would make all his troubles vanish.
In the bathroom, Su Qing's clothes were all off. The sight of her fair, beautiful body with black outlines excited Chen Yang.
Once again, Chen Yang was intoxicated by it.
After satisfying himself, Chen Yang tidied up and felt refreshed.
All his worries disappeared, and Chen Yang sat cross-legged on the bed, practicing the Great Sun Moon Technique. His mind was as tranquil as a fetus in amniotic fluid, and nothing in the world could trouble him.
He inhaled a breath into his body. This breath, under his guidance, moved through his limbs and bones like an airbag mouse, cleansing his blood and nourishing his marrow.
Now, Chen Yang's cultivation had reached the peak of Transforming Strength. The next step would be to become an Earth Immortal.
But this step was extremely difficult to take.
It's the difference between human and immortal. Once crossed, it would be like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, becoming an immortal.
Transforming Strength meant that the internal energy was trained to a superb level. Ming Strength was a powerful force, and in the world, any strong force was Ming Strength. The power of a mountain flood was also Ming Strength. When an ordinary person punched, it was also Ming Strength.
Dark Strength was something only humans could comprehend. It was the ability to condense the power of a punch into a fine needle-like force.
A master of Ming Strength could deliver a punch with 100 pounds of force, which would feel like a tickle to an elephant.
A master of Dark Strength could condense that 100 pounds of force into a sharp water arrow. A punch would penetrate the elephant's skin and injure its internal organs.
As for Transforming Strength, it was miraculous. Place a tofu on a green brick on the ground, and a master of Transforming Strength could punch it, shattering the brick without breaking the tofu.
