My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife-Chapter 602: Investigate the Relic
"Uh... you really have a death wish, don't you!"
Pei Luoyan patted her smooth forehead and then, with a change of tone, said, "But, it does sound thrilling, I like it!"
"Tell me, how do you want me to help you?"
Pei Luoyan sat down on the sofa with a plop and asked with her legs crossed.
"Weren't you an assassin? Gathering intelligence is your specialty, so help me find a way to scout out the important figures of the Ye Family, their strength distribution, defense forces, and such—the more detailed, the better!"
Qin Yu could actually do these things himself since he had served as a reconnaissance soldier in the past.
However, many people in the Ye Family knew him, and if they became aware of his presence in Wu City and heightened their guard, it would be even harder to take action.
"Hmm... what's in it for me?"
Pei Luoyan asked, her eyes turning.
"You owe me a favor!"
Qin Yu spread his hands.
"Alright, I'll get on it tomorrow. But for these couple of days, you'd better stay in my villa. Wu City is the Ye Family's territory, where their influence is deeply entrenched. Sure, your combat strength is impressive now, but these days, it's all about fighting with your wits!"
Pei Luoyan pointed to her head.
"Okay, then I'll impose on you!"
Qin Yu nodded. He did not think that just because he had broken through to the Pill Holding Realm, he could cut a swath through the Ye Family like Zhao Zilong.
For example, if they were well-prepared and trapped him in a courtyard with explosives buried in advance, they could easily send him to the afterlife.
Even using poison gas or guns, there was no shortage of ways to kill him.
Take those two Dual Cultivation experts in the Channel-Opening Realm, badass, right? Still, weren't they nearly blasted to death by Han Qingying with a single grenade?
At any time, self-righteousness and underestimating the enemy are major taboos in military strategy.
"No problem, there are so many rooms downstairs, you can just pick one. A Pill Holding Realm expert, just the thought of it is awe-inspiring—I've got to stick close to you as a strong support!"
After saying this, Pei Luoyan stood up: "You've been traveling all day, take a rest. I bought quite a lot of seafood, and we can eat as soon as it's ready!"
"Great, thank you!"
After Qin Yu thanked her and watched Pei Luoyan enter the kitchen, he started muttering to himself, Hehuan Sect seemed pretty strong, yet it was destroyed— who did it?
Although it wasn't of much concern to him, Pei Luoyan had become involved, and she was his friend. It would be best to understand the ins and outs of the matter.
After contemplating for a moment, Qin Yu closed his eyes and began to meditate and recuperate.
Just because he had broken through to the Pill Holding Realm did not mean he could rest on his laurels. Even above the Channel-Opening Realm, there were even more formidable beings. He must continue to cultivate without stopping, to master even more powerful forces, in order to protect himself and those around him.
Perhaps half an hour later.
The beautiful Murong Qingcheng walked down from upstairs. After giving Qin Yu a glance, she headed to the kitchen: "Sister Yan, do you need help?"
Her voice was very soft and weak, easily stirring a protective instinct to the core.
"It's almost ready, open a bottle of wine, let's eat!"
There were only three people, so Pei Luoyan steamed a potful of seafood medley to start the meal.
"Mr. Qin, dinner's ready!"

Murong Qingcheng called out politely.
"Alright!"
Qin Yu walked to the dining table, sat down, and after looking at Murong Qingcheng and then at Pei Luoyan, couldn't help but say, "The three of us being able to sit together and eat is also a kind of fate. Also, since Pei Luoyan and I are friends, if Miss Murong doesn't mind, could you tell me about what happened to your sect?"
"Of course!"
Clutching her pearlike teeth, Murong Qingcheng seemed to fall into contemplation, and after a few seconds, she said in a low voice, "Many years ago, our Sect Master two generations back befriended a Dual Cultivation partner, named Li Jiutian, who was said to be the top master of the Demonic Path. Later, this Li Jiutian offended too many people and was besieged by both the righteous and the evil factions, disappearing without a trace. Over time, people gradually forgot about the incident.
Unexpectedly, some time ago, a group of people burst into Hehuan Sect, wreaking havoc and coercing us to surrender the relics of that Demonic Path master. So much time had passed; how would we know about any relics?
As a result, many of our sect's members were either killed or injured. I was lucky enough to escape and came to Wu City where I met Sister Yan and have been taking temporary refuge here, hoping to improve my cultivation and avenge our people one day!"
```
"Oh... Li Jiutian!"
Qin Yu truly hadn't expected to hear this name again from someone else's mouth. It seemed that the reason for destroying the Hehuan Sect was likely for the ring in his possession.
However, it looked like the other party only knew Li Jiutian had left behind something, but what that something specifically was—whether it was round or flat—they didn't seem to be very clear about.
Thinking this, Qin Yu felt slightly more at ease. As long as he continued to develop quietly and didn't make waves, it was unlikely that anyone would know Li Jiutian, once the top master of the Demonic Path, had left his legacy in his hands.
"Do you know Li Jiutian?"
Murong Qingcheng showed a curious expression.
"I don't recognize him!"
Qin Yu shook his head.
The other party had destroyed the Hehuan Sect; killing him wouldn't be difficult. He didn't plan on telling anyone the secret of the ring, except himself.
"By the way, is the Sect Master of your Hehuan Sect female?"
Qin Yu asked another question.
"There are both men and women. Whoever has higher cultivation holds the position. Our sect is relatively fair," Murong Qingcheng explained.
"Oh, so what do you plan to do now? Do you want to take revenge? Do you have any clues?"
Qin Yu asked further.
"At that time, when those masked people whispered to each other, they mentioned the words 'Wu City.' So I thought to come here to try my luck and see if I could find out anything. I grew up in the sect from a young age; it's like my home. Of course, I want to take revenge!"
By the end, Murong Qingcheng was clenching her fists slightly.
"Qingcheng, I'll always help you!"
Pei Luoyan gently patted Murong Qingcheng's little hand.
"Thank you, Sister Yan!"
Murong Qingcheng said, biting her lip.
"By the way, Qin Yu, why don't you join our little revenge group, too? After Qingcheng has successfully taken her revenge and rebuilds the Hehuan Sect, we'll make you a deputy sect leader!"
Pei Luoyan said half-jokingly.
"Heh, okay, I'll consider it!"
Qin Yu also said with a smile.
But what he was really thinking was that his current situation was still a mess; where would he find the energy to get involved in the matters of the Hehuan Sect?
Moreover, this matter was definitely entangled with major powers, and with his Pill Holding cultivation, he was simply insignificant in the face of such powers.
"Alright, let's drink!"
Pei Luoyan didn't say anything more and called Qin Yu to drink.
Afterward, everyone stopped talking about revenge and started chatting casually.
Once they had eaten their fill, Qin Yu helped clean up before he prepared to rest.
"Keep it down at night!"
Qin Yu waved his arm as he walked into his room.
After taking a bath, he turned off the lights and sat on the couch to practice Shen Zhao Jing. At his current level, sleep had become unimportant.
It was about the middle of the night.
Footsteps reached his ears, and Qin Yu cocked his ear to listen carefully; it seemed someone was walking toward the outside of the villa.
A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes; was it Pei Luoyan or Murong Qingcheng, and where were they going so late at night?
Once the footsteps had faded away, he quietly opened the door and followed suit.
