Chapter 42 Observing Qi
As the car stopped and Xia Xue got out, a motorcycle with all sorts of random patterns sprayed on it roared to a halt not far from her, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The girl on the bicycle took off her helmet, shook her long, silver-gray hair, tilted her head, chewed gum, sized up Xia Xue, and grinned as she asked, "You're the real heiress of the Xia family?"
As the girl's voice entered his ears, the system voice sounded.
"A cameo appearance in 'After Rebirth, I Will Never Be My Sister's Substitute,' opening the treasure chest..."
"Max level Mystic Art: Qi Observation"
"Observing Qi: All things in heaven and earth possess Qi and fortune. The way of Qi and fortune is contained within them. All things follow its principles. Immense power is hidden within them. By observing the end of its way, one can follow its momentum, cultivate one's talents, dominate one's career, and attain the Way. Drawback: However, the way of Qi and fortune is a secret revealed by heaven. If one observes it too deeply, one will surely suffer a backlash."
"Max level trait: No backlash."
Having mastered the art of observing qi, Xia Xue felt as if a curtain had suddenly appeared over the world before her. She could lift this curtain at any time to see the more realistic world behind it.
This feeling is like suddenly having electronic navigation when others can only determine their location and direction by observing natural phenomena.
"This is simply a case of 'dimensional reduction' (or 'a lower dimension's attack')."
Xia Jue got out of the car, looked at the girl in front of him, frowned, and was about to say something when he heard Xia Xue smile and extend her hand, saying sincerely, "It's nice to meet you, my name is Xia Xue."
The girl paused for a moment, seemingly because it had been a long time since anyone had spoken to her so calmly and as an equal.
For a moment, she forgot to respond.
"what!"
She snapped out of her daze, hurriedly and clumsily holding the helmet with her other hand, and reached out to tightly grasp the hand that Xia Xue had offered.
"My name is Shi Zheng. It's nice to meet you. Haha, you like riding motorcycles too. We're definitely on the same wavelength. Let's get some friends together and race sometime."
Upon hearing this, Xia Jue, who was standing to the side, turned even darker.
She subconsciously crossed her arms and held them in front of her chest, staring at Shi Zheng as if she were looking at a big bad wolf.
Xia Xue withdrew her right hand and nodded with a smile.
"Okay, let's add a contact method and keep in touch when we have time."
Shi Zheng took out her phone, scanned the QR code Xia Xue showed her, glanced at Xia Jue next to her whose eyes seemed about to erupt like a volcano, first raised an eyebrow at Xia Jue with a provocative look, then nodded at Xia Xue, giving her a "I'm watching you" look, and then, as if no one else was around, put on her helmet, gently twisted the handlebars, and with a roar, the motorcycle flew off, speeding a hundred meters away. Shi Zheng was still not in a hurry, and with her back to Xia Xue, she waved goodbye with one hand.
Xia Jue stared at Shi Zheng's disappearing figure, snorted coldly, and warned Xia Xue, "Stay away from Shi Zheng, don't let her lead you astray."
Xia Xue just tilted her head, looked at Xia Jue, and didn't say anything.
After Xia Jue's emotions subsided, she finally realized what had happened.
She was admonishing a prodigy who, at only eighteen years old, had already reached the level of a Grandmaster of Internal Energy.
A master of martial arts can dominate an entire province.
It's not something that can be easily said.
Once you reach the level of "Transformation of Strength," dodging bullets is already standard practice.
In addition, there's their speed and lethality.
Each one is a walking heavy machine gun.
"I'm not..."
Before Xia Jue could finish speaking, Xia Xue smiled and said, "I know, Big Sister is concerned about me. Don't worry, Big Sister, I know what I'm doing."
Xia Jue let out a long breath and looked at Xia Xue with a helpless expression.
"Okay, as long as you know what you're doing."
Xia Jue's eyes were filled with melancholy.
Her two younger sisters are both quite troublesome, yet they are both very opinionated.
The key point is that their abilities are all incredibly strong.
Even if she wanted to, she couldn't.
Xia Jue had just returned to her bedroom and was about to change her clothes when she heard the roar of a motorcycle coming from the doorway.
She thought it was Shi Zheng, and pursed her lips. Just as she was about to continue changing her clothes, she suddenly realized what was going on.
Shi Zheng just got home, it couldn't be Shi Zheng.
"Could it be?"
Xia Jue's expression changed, and he quickly ran to the window, just in time to see Xia Xue riding away on her motorcycle.
"It really is Xiaoxue."
A struggle flashed in Xia Jue's eyes, but she finally picked up her phone and dialed the company's number.
"Xia Xue has already set off. Stay close to her; I'll be there soon."
After saying that, he didn't even bother to change his clothes. He put on his shoes, restarted the car he had just parked, and drove out of Jingyuan again.
Zhang Ma peeked out from the kitchen and shook her head at the two sisters who had returned home one after the other and left again immediately.
"Seriously, you're all home now, don't you even take a break? Are you that busy?"
After saying that, she went back to the kitchen, muttering to herself.
"I don't know if they'll come back for dinner."
Xia Xue glanced at the rearview mirror.
"Black Shield Company, the boss's people."
Once Xia Xue was certain that the person she was following was not an enemy, she stopped paying attention.
I just accelerated again.
The motorcycle's speed increased again, and like a nimble fish, it quickly disappeared into the traffic.
"Hotel Werner".
Xia Xue parked the car and glanced at the five-star hotel that was nearly 100 meters tall not far away.
"You really know how to enjoy life."
Xia Xue walked into the lobby, glanced around to confirm the location of the elevator, grabbed a box of toothpicks, stepped into the elevator, and pressed the button for the 36th floor.
Inside the quiet elevator, Xia Xue silently activated her premonition talent.
"There is no danger."
When passive talents are actively activated, they become clearer and more accurate.
A ding sound.
The elevator door opened, and Xia Xue stepped out and walked straight towards room 3606.
Through the door, Xia Xue's ears twitched, and a smile appeared on her face.
"The person is still alive!"
It seems she arrived just in time.
Xia Xue placed her right hand on the door lock, exerted force, and with a click, the lock broke.
Xia Xue strolled in, pushing open the door with an air of nonchalance.
A handsome young man, dressed in a bespoke suit, wearing a million-dollar watch, and looking to be only in his early twenties with an air of nobility, stood with one hand in his pocket and the other gently swirling a wine glass. Gazing at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window, he raised his glass slightly towards the figure slowly approaching through the glass and said with a smile, "You've come faster than I expected."
Xia Xue paused for a moment, her eyes narrowing slightly as she sized up the young man standing by the window.
Observing the qi (vital energy).
This person's luck...
Xia Xue's brows relaxed, and she pressed the loose brooch with her left hand. Facing the other person directly, she smiled and said, "You knew I would come all along, yet you're still so leisurely staying here. What, aren't you afraid of dying?"
The refined young man took a sip of red wine, pursed his lips, and calmly smiled, "I'm looking forward to it. Cheers!"
Tracing the source!
How could it be a paper figure?
Xia Xue's eyes were full of confusion, but her tone was calm and composed.
"You stayed behind specifically just to toast me?"
The dignified young man glanced down at the handkerchief in his left breast pocket, then turned to look at Xia Xue and exclaimed in admiration.
"Your ability to deduce is indeed that of someone from the Xuanmen sect."
