"Miss Qin, be careful!"
Seeing this, Li Yang quickly reminded Qin Bingqin. However, Qin Bingqin reacted a bit slowly, and before she could dodge, the sharp sword blade was already close to her chest.
At the critical moment, Li Yang swiftly pulled Qin Bingqin over, blocking in front of her. With a flick of his finger, he easily deflected the sword's edge!
The swordsman immediately felt a powerful wave of energy. The sword blade became uncontrollable, instantly deviating sixty degrees to the left and piercing a solid wooden pillar nearby.
When Li Yang came to his senses, he saw all the swordsmen on the stage jump down simultaneously and charge towards Qin Bingqin in unison.
Seeing this, Li Yang rushed forward again, picked up a chair casually, and blocked four or five swords. A wisp of golden spiritual energy circulated in his palm, and he forcefully waved it towards the swordsmen. Everyone, unable to resist Li Yang's palm wave, was sent flying ten meters away!
The remaining swordsmen continued to charge. Li Yang remained merciless, dispatching them all in a few swift moves. They all fell to the ground, spitting blood!
Qin Bingqin watched Li Yang in action from the side, her expression filled with surprise!
She stared at Li Yang in shock, lost in thought.
"Miss Qin, you step back a bit. These people intend to harm you. I'll kill them all now."
Li Yang's eyes blazed with killing intent. He felt that since these people wanted Qin Bingqin's life, they could not be spared.
As Li Yang approached the defeated figures on the ground, everyone turned pale with fright and retreated continuously.
Just then, Qin Bingqin immediately stepped forward to stop Li Yang, saying, "Mr. Li, stop quickly!"
"Miss Qin, you want to let them go?" Li Yang turned back and asked curiously.
"Actually, they are all my bodyguards, and everything that just happened was something I deliberately arranged," Qin Bingqin said very seriously.
"What?"
Li Yang was shocked. All of this was arranged by Qin Bingqin? Why would she do this?
Qin Bingqin explained to Li Yang seriously, "I arranged for them to assassinate me to test your character and identity."
"If you had stood by and watched me in danger, you would not have been the person I was looking for. But not only did you save me, you also used spiritual energy to defeat all my bodyguards, which surprised me greatly."
"The person you were looking for? What do you mean?" Li Yang hadn't expected to be tested by her before he could even test her.
It seemed that this Miss Qin was more unfathomable than Li Yang had imagined.
Qin Bingqin smiled calmly, suddenly grabbed Li Yang's arm, and continued, "Earlier today, in the wholesale market, you were able to detect the disappearance of spiritual energy from that batch of antiques, which indicates you are no ordinary person."
"In this world, only descendants of the Ancient Spirit Sect possess such spiritual energy. Therefore, you and I are of the same path!"
"My master has always told me to find my destined one. If I find him and cultivate together, my power can greatly increase."
"It's obvious I've found him now. You are the destined one I've been looking for!"
"Miss Qin, I'm afraid you've misunderstood. I've never heard of any Ancient Spirit Sect, so you've found the wrong person."
Li Yang couldn't understand what she was talking about at all, so he directly and decisively refused her.
"Impossible!"
Qin Bingqin replied sternly. Then, she looked at Li Yang seriously and said, "If you are not from the Ancient Spirit Sect, then where did the spiritual energy on your body come from? Don't tell me you didn't obtain it by absorbing spiritual energy from antiques and jade."
"I..."
Hearing her question, Li Yang almost told her about his ancestral jade pendant.
Fortunately, he stopped himself in time and nodded, saying, "I did indeed obtain my strength by absorbing spiritual energy from antiques, but I truly know nothing about the Ancient Spirit Sect."
"Heh, you're still lying to me. Is this young lady not worth your trust that much?"
Qin Bingqin suddenly moved closer to Li Yang, her chest almost touching Li Yang's body. Her face was less than two centimeters away from Li Yang's. She gently blew warm air into Li Yang's ear, saying, "I'm willing to give myself to you, and you still don't believe me?"
"To tell you the truth, I am also from the Ancient Spirit Sect, and I am the only female disciple. There are plenty of men who want to sleep with me. If you don't make a move, I might be snatched away by someone else one day."
"Miss Qin, I think you've truly misunderstood. Although you are very beautiful and have a great figure, I cannot lie for beauty. I truly don't know anything about the Ancient Spirit Sect you mentioned, nor do I have any understanding of it." Li Yang continued.
The next second, Qin Bingqin's expression changed drastically. She moved away from Li Yang and looked at him sternly, saying, "You are such a coward, refusing an opportunity that's being handed to you on a silver platter. It seems I misjudged you."
"Since you refuse to admit your identity, then I'll take back everything I just said. You can leave. Our cooperation is hereby canceled, and let's pretend we never met."
Li Yang could tell that Qin Bingqin was serious.
He couldn't help but wonder if what Qin Bingqin had said earlier was related to the golden finger he had obtained.
After all, Li Yang didn't know what the inheritance from the jade pendant was about.
And Qin Bingqin possessed the same spiritual energy as him. Although the spiritual energy on her body was very weak, being able to possess such spiritual energy was already a miracle.
"Wait a moment, Miss Qin, don't go. You said earlier that if we merged, we could mutually improve. Is that true or false?"
Li Yang came back to his senses, suddenly smiled, and said, "If it's true, I'm very willing to cooperate with you to improve my strength."
"What, you're willing to admit you're from the Ancient Spirit Sect now?" Qin Bingqin turned back and asked coldly.
"Yes, I admit I am from the Ancient Spirit Sect!"
Li Yang smiled slightly, appearing not to be lying at all.
If he denied it again, Qin Bingqin would surely get angry like before. So, he decided to admit his identity first, become someone she considered "one of her own," and then he could obtain all the information.
"Heh, I thought my beauty was truly incapable of conquering you. It turns out all men are the same."
Qin Bingqin chuckled, returned to Li Yang's side, and gently stroked Li Yang's face, saying, "It's a pity you missed the opportunity just now. It's not that easy to have me now, unless you can..."
Mmm!
Before Qin Bingqin could finish speaking, Li Yang suddenly leaned in and planted a passionate kiss on her lips.
At this moment, Qin Bingqin was completely stunned!
Her eyes blinked rapidly. Feeling Li Yang's passionate kiss, the blood in her body seemed to surge faster!
Unconsciously, she felt the spiritual energy within her gradually merging with Li Yang's. She slowly closed her eyes, and her arms wrapped around Li Yang's back.
At this moment, she entered a state of spiritual energy enhancement.
Simultaneously, Li Yang also felt a peculiar sensation!
