Chapter 40

Under Qingye's guidance, the limousine drove towards the apartment complex.

After just a few minutes, they arrived at the courtyard of the apartment.

Qingye got out of the car first, followed by Shan Wang Xia, who curiously observed everything around her.

"Follow me," Qingye said, leading Shan Wang Xia towards the gate of the apartment complex.

As they crossed the gate, Qingye saw Beikawa Kako sitting under the eaves, sipping her afternoon tea as usual.

Shan Wang Xia, knowing that this woman was the one who could brew delicious tea with ordinary tea leaves, looked at her with great curiosity.

"Kako, good afternoon," Qingye greeted.

"Oh? Qingye-kun actually brought a girl back?" Beikawa Kako looked surprised at first, then smiled warmly at Qingye and the blonde girl following him.

"Hey, Kako, don't get the wrong idea, she's here to see you," Qingye said with a smile.

"Huh? To see me?" Beikawa Kako looked puzzled at Qingye and Shan Wang Xia.

"I told her that your tea is very delicious, and she wants to try it. Is that okay?" Qingye sat down on the wooden floor under the eaves and said.

"Do you want to have some tea? Of course, please sit down," Beikawa Kako stood up and invited Shan Wang Xia.

"Sorry for the sudden visit," Shan Wang Xia bowed slightly, then sat down next to Qingye, giving him a stern look.

"It's just some simple tea. If you don't mind, please try it," Beikawa Kako sat down again, poured green tea for Shan Wang Xia, and handed it to her.

"Thank you very much," Shan Wang Xia took the teacup with both hands and took a small sip.

"Hmm, a special flavor," her eyes lit up after one sip, "really, it's very delicious."

"Is that so? I'm glad you like it," Beikawa Kako said with a smile.

"I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm sorry! I'm Shan Wang Xia, a first-year student at Seikawa Private High School. Please take care of me," Shan Wang Xia finally introduced herself, clearly impressed by Beikawa Kako's tea-making skills.

"I'm the manager of this apartment complex, Beikawa Kako. You can just call me Kako," Beikawa Kako said in a very friendly manner.

"Okay, then you can just call me Xia. Kako's tea is really very delicious!" Shan Wang Xia replied with equally skilled social skills. She was indeed a young lady from a wealthy family.

Thus, the two women began discussing the art of tea.

Qingye found an opportunity to leave and returned to his room, leaving the two women to their conversation.

After having afternoon tea and chatting with Beikawa Kako for a while, Shan Wang Xia left.

It was clear that Shan Wang Xia and Beikawa Kako had a great conversation, and they even made plans to have afternoon tea together again.

However, none of this was Qingye's concern. He stayed in his room until Shan Wang Xia left and did not appear again.

After enjoying a carefully prepared dinner by Bai Gui, although it was still early, Qingye began his daily cultivation practice.

After finishing his cultivation, feeling the pure yang true qi in his body grow stronger, and seeing that it was already completely dark outside, Qingye changed his clothes, said goodbye to Bai Gui, and left the apartment to meet with Sengoku Tsuyuri.

Qingye first went to the area near Sengoku Tsuyuri's house, using his divine sense to search around. He saw that Sengoku Tsuyuri's sister, Sengoku Mai, was watching TV, but Sengoku Tsuyuri was not at home. Clearly, she had gone out to hunt again.

Qingye scanned the area around Sengoku Tsuyuri's house and noticed a ten-story office building not far away.

If he were to go there, he could spot Sengoku Tsuyuri as soon as she returned home.

Deciding that the office building was the highest place nearby, Qingye walked towards it. He paused briefly at a convenience store, then entered and soon came out with a bag of beer and various snacks.

Qingye continued towards the office building, carrying the large shopping bag.

The entrance to the office building had an electronic lock, and only those with access cards could enter. There were also many surveillance cameras around the entrance, making it almost impossible to enter without being noticed.

However, this was not a problem for Qingye.

As he approached the entrance and was about to enter the camera's range, the pure yang true qi in his body surged, converting into electricity and spreading out in all directions.

Instantly, the air crackled with static, and all the cameras were burned out. The monitors in the security room that were watching the entrance all turned blue.

With a single release and retraction of the electricity, all the monitors were destroyed. Qingye, carrying the bag of beer, walked leisurely to the entrance, and with another flash of electricity, the electronic lock clicked open, clearly having been destroyed.

Thus, Qingye walked into the office building, destroying all the cameras he encountered along the way, and made his way to the top floor.

The security guards in the monitoring room, seeing all the monitors turn blue, were puzzled and went out to inspect the system.

The security guards did not think anyone had intruded, as the surveillance cameras in office buildings were mainly to prevent petty theft.

This was not a bank, and there was no large amount of cash to attract criminals.

Who would be a skilled enough to cause all the monitors to turn blue and have no reason to intrude into an office building full of small companies?

So the security guards assumed there was a system problem and did not even think about reporting it.

Thus, Qingye easily bypassed the security measures of the office building and reached the rooftop.

However, as soon as he pushed open the door to the rooftop, he saw a figure standing at the edge, apparently about to jump.

"Don't come any closer, or I'll jump," the man shouted when he saw Qingye.

"If you want to jump, go ahead. You're not related to me, why should I care if you live or die?" Qingye did not listen to him and continued walking forward. "Sometimes I don't mind being a good person, but I have no interest in saving someone who wants to die."

The man, seeing that his threat was ineffective and not having the courage to jump, could only look back and forth between Qingye and the ground below as Qingye approached.

Qingye came to his side, jumped up onto the edge of the building, and sat down not far from the man.
