Chapter 7

Qin Yi stood quietly at the door, letting the warm morning sunlight pour over her. Her hair hung loosely, and she wore a light green velvet dress with a slightly high collar that accentuated her round jawline. Her bright eyes sparkled, and she gently brushed away the stray strands of hair from her face, her posture graceful and elegant. The warm sunlight bathed her smooth, fair face and arms, as if she were radiating a beautiful glow.

Passersby, seeing such a beautiful scene, all had wandering eyes and hesitant steps as they passed by, each one inwardly marveling: Who could she be waiting for? Who is worthy of her waiting?

Yi Feng arrived late, and as he looked at the strands of hair fluttering on Qin Yi’s face, he gently brushed them away. Her beauty was so captivating that he couldn’t resist leaning in to kiss her.

Qin Yi deftly avoided him, seemingly unaware, and smiled, saying, "Why haven’t you changed your old habit of always making others wait for you?"

Yi Feng laughed it off, not that he was too late, but that Qin Yi was too early. However, Qin Yi’s evasion left him somewhat disappointed, unsure of what she truly thought.

Yi Feng gazed at the stunning beauty before him, trying to push away the hint of disappointment in his heart. He smiled and said, "Sister Qin Yi..."

Looking at the composed Yi Feng, Qin Yi felt a bit dazed. The young man before her sometimes seemed so mature, far beyond what one would expect of someone not yet seventeen. Sometimes, she even felt like a little sister in front of him.

Qin Yi shook her head, dispelling the unrealistic thoughts in her mind.

"Sister Qin Yi, in the past five years, I’ve never taken you out to have a good time. How about we go out for a walk today?" Yi Feng smiled at Qin Yi, waiting for her response.

Qin Yi, though puzzled by the lazy Yi Feng’s sudden idea, was delighted. She smiled and said, "Sure. Your sudden disappearance over the past five years worried me to death."

Seeing Qin Yi indirectly probing about his whereabouts over the past five years, Yi Feng shook his head helplessly. Some things couldn’t be said. He couldn’t even tell her about his current achievements, for fear that she would be shocked. After all, at his age, some accomplishments were hard for people to accept.

Seeing that Yi Feng still had no intention of telling her, Qin Yi didn’t press further. As long as Yi Feng was alive and well, that was more important than anything. Thinking of this, she happily tossed a few gold coins to a beggar lying in the corner.

Yi Feng, seeing the golden coins, felt a pang of pain in his heart: Oh no, those are gold coins.

"Sister Qin Yi, how many gold coins did you give him?" Yi Feng inwardly cursed her extravagance, his expression pained.

"Hehe... five..." Qin Yi suddenly remembered one of Yi Feng’s great achievements. He once saved money by selling his father’s favorite vase, which was worth hundreds of gold coins, for just one copper coin. The most outrageous part was that when his father scolded him for being wasteful, he argued with such confidence that it made his uncle spit blood: "Even if the vase is worth a hundred gold coins, it’s just for display. It’s better to sell it for a copper coin, at least the copper coin belongs to me."

Just as Qin Yi was chuckling to herself, she suddenly heard Yi Feng chasing after the beggar, saying, "Brother, can you give me four gold coins back?"

The beggar, hearing this, was stunned: How could there be such a shameless man who asks for change after giving money to a beggar?

The beggar, suppressing the urge to beat Yi Feng, gave him a disdainful look and ignored the shameless man, quickly running away.

"Brother, don’t go. Give me some gold coins back, at least three? Ah, two? One is fine too."

The beggar’s cry almost made him trip. He hurriedly sped up, running out of Yi Feng’s sight, leaving Yi Feng with a pained and conflicted expression as he watched the beggar’s disappearing back.

Qin Yi, seeing Yi Feng’s pained expression, tried hard to suppress her laughter, her shoulders shaking.

Seeing the laughter in Qin Yi’s eyes, Yi Feng huffed and bought a hair clip from a nearby stall, casually tossing a gold coin to the vendor and saying, "No need to give change." Then, he walked away with Qin Yi, who was still trying to hold back her laughter.

The vendor, holding the gold coin, was stunned: The price tag on the hair clip was two gold coins, right?

Qin Yi, looking at the hair clip Yi Feng gave her, couldn’t hold back her laughter anymore and burst out giggling.

"Yi Feng, I finally understand what you meant by ‘a person without a sense of shame is invincible.’”

Yi Feng gave Qin Yi an unhappy look, thinking: If you hadn’t given the beggar five gold coins, would I have had to do this? Thinking of the golden coins, his heart ached.

However, his heart didn’t ache for long before his brows furrowed, staring straight ahead, puzzled by the appearance of ‘him’ on this street.

"Tian Ni..." Yi Feng called out, quickening his steps and rushing towards him.

The man standing ahead, though young and inexperienced, couldn’t hide his coldness. His icy gaze made Qin Yi frown and become alert.

None of this escaped Yi Feng, who was focused on Qin Yi. He smiled reassuringly, "A friend, don’t worry."

Seeing Yi Feng, Tian Ni’s expression softened, though he still looked cold, it wasn’t as intimidating.

"Lord Feng..." Tian Ni called out, his eyes shifting to Qin Yi beside Yi Feng, and he was momentarily stunned.

Seeing this, Yi Feng was taken aback, not expecting the usually stone-like Tian Ni to be moved by Qin Yi’s beauty.

"What are you doing here? And the魅energy on the Zuo family boy, is it related to you?" Yi Feng asked, voicing his doubts.

Hearing Yi Feng’s words, Qin Yi was startled: How many secrets did Yi Feng have over the past five years?

Tian Ni nodded, not explaining but shifting his gaze to the side, "He is Albert’s son, my mission this time."

Hearing this, Yi Feng suddenly understood, looking at the extremely fat man not far away, and realized why the usually reclusive Tian Ni would appear on the street.

"Tian Ni, you should know that once you act, your identity will be exposed," Yi Feng reminded him.

Tian Ni nodded, but his tone was firm, "But this is my only chance. I can’t wait any longer."

Tian Ni looked at Yi Feng, feeling a bit envious. Yi Feng was different from them. In the Holy Land, he could choose any teacher, freely enter the Holy Land’s restricted areas, and even leave the Holy Land with permission, unlike himself, who could only leave on missions.

In the extremely hierarchical and powerful Holy Land, to receive such treatment was nothing short of a miracle.

This was also the reason for the Holy Land’s people’s confusion and jealousy.

Yi Feng, looking at the cold young man before him, said helplessly, "Forget it. Since I’ve already helped you once, I’ll help you again. Let’s take care of this fat pig too."

Tian Ni’s eyes lit up. Although Yi Feng was a special existence in the Holy Land, no one had ever seen him in action. He was eager to see what kind of shock Yi Feng would give him.

In Tian Ni’s view, Yi Feng must be extremely strong; otherwise, the elders wouldn’t have treated him that way.
