Chapter 47: The Strong One Who Does Menial Work

In a vast expanse, a little boy who appeared to be about five or six years old stood with his hands in the pockets of his jeans, leaning against a white pillar, his gaze fixed on a young man.
At that moment, the young man was sitting cross-legged on the white jade floor, his eyes slightly closed. As he sent his mental energy into the “Wu Dian,” the book automatically flipped to its first page, and a passage appeared in the void of his mind: The Mortal Realm section only recorded the methods for rapidly gathering vital energy to help cultivators enter the realm of cultivation sooner.
After this passage disappeared, a diagram of meridians appeared in the void, with arrows clearly marking the path of the vital energy—exactly the same as the great cycle it had followed when it entered his body last time.
Ye Feng, who had hoped to find some extraordinary secret techniques in the “Wu Dian,” felt somewhat disappointed. He took a few deep breaths, memorized the path of the vital energy, then immersed himself fully, using his internal energy to follow that great cycle.
……
“Xu Qiang, someone’s downstairs looking for you!” A guy from the next dorm room knocked on Xu Qiang’s door and called out to him, who was sitting on the bed in a daze.
“Who is it?” Xu Qiang became nervous.
“Two top-notch beauties and a guy,” the guy said, winking at Xu Qiang before looking skeptically at the other beds. “Why are you the only one here today? Where are the others?”
“They went out. I stayed behind because I have some things to do today,” Xu Qiang replied, a hint of gloom in his eyes, before standing up. “I’ll go take a look.”
Outside Ye Feng’s dormitory building, the two beauties drew frequent glances from the passing boys, causing the man beside them to frown.
“What a bunch of rude kids!” The man, dressed in black combat attire and standing at about 1.85 meters tall with a robust build, made it so that no boy dared approach them.
“Brother Lu, they’re just ordinary people. With your strength, even a light touch from you could leave them injured. Better to hold back. Let’s wait for Ye Feng to come down and talk to them so we can rescue them,” Zhuge Ling’er, dressed casually, tugged at the black-clad man’s sleeve.
“But the way they’re looking at Yue’er makes me uncomfortable!” The man turned his head to the side, clearly annoyed.

“Bro Lu, it’s okay. They’re just kids,” Long Yue said with a smile, wearing a professional woman’s suit, shaking her head. “Besides, they’re not only looking at me. Look, Ling’er and I are still standing here fine, right?”
“Did you guys call me?” At that moment, a young man stepped out of the dormitory building. “I’m Xu Qiang, Roommate of Ye Feng. I’m the one who called yesterday.”
“Hello, I’m Long Yue, Long Tian’s sister. This is my sister Zhuge Ling’er, and this is my boyfriend Lu Zhan,” Long Yue introduced politely.
“Did Brother Long not come?” Xu Qiang still seemed worried. In his eyes, Brother Long was a powerful gang leader; if he came, the problem would surely be solved, but his sister might not be able to…
“Uh… he’s busy with some important matters these days and can’t leave for now. Once he finds time, he’ll definitely come. Don’t worry. We three can handle this situation! That’s why he asked us to come,” Long Yue said with confidence.
“You should know that Sister Yue is the strongest among the younger generation of the Long family. Even Brother Long Tian isn’t his match…” Zhuge Ling’er understood what Xu Qiang might be worried about.
“Ling’er…” Long Yue gave her a glare.
Zhuge Ling’er seemed to realize she had said something inappropriate and shyly stuck out her tongue.
“Do you know where that woman named Zhenzhu is?” Long Yue shifted the topic directly to the key point.
“I don’t know,” Xu Qiang shook his head.
“Alright, then go back first. We’ll take care of the rest. I’ll make sure your classmates are sent back unharmed,” Long Yue nodded at Xu Qiang.
“Oh, thank you!” Xu Qiang felt relieved seeing that the three of them didn’t seem to be joking.
“How do we find that woman named Zhenzhu?” Zhuge Ling’er looked at Long Yue curiously, as if she already had a plan.
“Find Long Ao—the man who left our Long family over a decade ago and raised my brother all by himself…” A sharp glint appeared in Long Yue’s eyes. “He should know something.”
…
“Who are you?” The three of Long Yue were stopped by two security guards at the entrance of a building.
“I’m here to see Long Ao. Tell him Long Yue from the Long family has come to visit!” Long Yue said expressionlessly.
“Sister Li, there are two women and a man at the entrance asking to see the chairman. One of them claims to be Long Yue from the Long family…” one of the security guards said through his walkie-talkie.

“Let them in!” a female voice came through the intercom. The security guard then stepped aside, allowing the three of them to enter. “Please follow me!” A woman who appeared to be in her thirties stepped forward with graceful strides. Her appearance caused Long Yue’s expression to freeze for a moment, but it quickly returned to normal. “Who are you?” Long Yue and the others followed her into the elevator. “My name is Li Qing. I’m Mr. Long’s assistant,” the woman said, giving Long Yue a slight nod. Long Yue didn’t ask any further questions. The elevator stopped on the 29th floor, and Li Qing led them into a conference room, pouring tea for them. “Please wait a moment. I’ll go call Mr. Long right away.” After she closed the door, Long Yue picked up her teacup, but her right hand trembled slightly. “Yue’er, what’s wrong?” Lu Zhan noticed this anomaly. “This woman… her strength is terrifying…” Long Yue took a sip of tea, trying to calm herself down before managing to utter those words. “But I still think she seems like an ordinary person,” Zhuge Ling’er asked curiously. “Your strength is far inferior to hers. With my strength at the late innate stage, the pressure she deliberately exerted was enough to suppress me completely, which means she has surpassed the innate level and attained a different level of power,” Long Yue said, placing her cup on the table with a thoughtful expression. “How is that possible? A warrior of that caliber would be among the top figures in any major family. How could they be willing to work as a mere assistant?” Zhuge Ling’er shook her head in confusion. As they discussed this, the corridor outside the conference room echoed with the crisp sound of leather shoes hitting the marble floor…
