For what happened last night, he only had a rough idea about what had transpired.
Breakup.
School belle.
Escort.
The three key words formed a huge storm in his mind.
In order to save a thousand self-salvation points, Ye Bufan reluctantly exercised his brain a little.
To understand the ins and outs of things, it was natural to get a clear picture from the people involved.
"Let's play another round. Bring along your school sister and calculate the escort charges with her by days. Just go by your rate."
Ye Bufan didn't plan to freeload this clue either.
The fee of one thousand yuan per day was definitely a high income.
Gaming, voice chat, talking.
In just a short time of one game round.
Ye Bufan had a general understanding of things.
Although he could not be a hundred percent certain that this was a system that was about to appear, he would not give up this clue either.
"That's it for today. Take the money and buy some food."
Ye Bufan no longer had the heart to play games.
He casually transferred 30,000 yuan and sent the three women away.
After all, he still had proper business to attend to.
On the other end, Qingjie Hotel.
Lizi looked at the 11,000 yuan in her hand and fell silent.
"Is that so simple?"
It took Lizi quite some time before her soul returned.
Zhao Xue smiled and nodded, "Yes, just that simple. You're different from us. You're a temporary worker. This is your meal allowance. Just keep it."
Zhao Xue and Tan Qin were very compliant with the boss's words and would never sleep when asked to dine.
Invoices must be issued.
They had to let the boss know that they were obedient and good escorts.
As for whether the boss cared or not, that was none of their concern.
It’s a service industry. They just had to do their part well.
As for Lizi being a temporary worker, they didn’t have such high demands of her.
After all, she would be gone after working for a day. How much could they manage?
Downstream, Ye Bufan hurriedly summoned Ximengsi and assigned her the task of monitoring Gan Zhe.
At the same time, he also paid attention to Gan Zhe's clues on the Internet.
People were arranged to monitor his every move 24 hours a day as well.
Especially the balance in his bank card and other data that got real-time updates and tracking.
And a series of evidence was recorded.
He tried not to miss any tiny loopholes.
As days went by, Gan Zhe still did not make a move.
On the Mu family side, they started preparing for the apprenticeship ceremony.
The circle of ancient martial arts did not intersect with ordinary people.
Therefore, this apprenticeship ceremony was not grand-scaled. Even outsiders rarely knew about it.
Only the Mu family and Ye Feng master and disciple attended.
Serving tea.
Kowtowing.
Ritual completed.
With Xuanyuan Long drinking the so-called apprenticeship tea, Mu Jianping's apprenticeship ceremony was considered completed.
The crowd ate happily at the dining table and started another round of wine-passing.
After three rounds of drinks and five flavors of dishes.
The atmosphere of the chat gradually reached its climax.
Mu Dinggua was worried about her granddaughter's health and asked anxiously, "Brother Xuanyuan, after my granddaughter starts practicing, she won't get sick again, right?"
Xuanyuan Long nodded, "That's right. What's more, it will only take three months for this female disciple of mine to attain the Ling Feng level."
Mu Dinggua found it unbelievable as he asked, "Can it be? Everyone has witnessed Ling Feng's prowess. Even your disciple is not his match."
"Hehehe."
Xuanyuan Long disappointingly shook his head, "Ye Feng? This silly boy has an extremely obtuse aptitude. If not for his eyes going bad early on, I wouldn't have taken him in."
Ye Feng instantly felt lifeless. The drink in his mouth gradually turned bitter too.
That wasn't what you said back then!
If not for you calling me a good disciple over and over again, why would I have gone with you to endure the bitter cultivation in the mountains?
Now that you have a new love, you've cast aside the old one?
"Master, can I really surpass him in three months?"
Mu Jianping raised her wine cup and asked.
This was truly unbelievable.
It was hard to convince people.
Xuanyuan Long also knew what everyone was thinking. He slowly explained,
"What Ling Feng practiced was the Nine Suns Divine Skill, different from the Secret of the Nine Yin."
"One focuses on orderly progression, requiring the unblocking of hundreds of acupoints throughout the body before it can fully mature."
"This process varies in time but is by no means a task that can be completed in a short period of time."
"The Secret of the Nine Yin is different. The predecessors summarized its principles and simplified them."
"They compiled a refined version that could rapidly increase martial power to the apex."
"Of course, this is a shortcut that is far less steady than progressing step by step."
"But one can first take the shortcut to reach the peak before tracing every step of cultivation to reconstruct the complete manuscript."
"That way, there won't be any hidden danger."
"Plus, you, Jianping, were born with The Nine Yin Constitution. Cultivation will be half the work with double the gain. Three months is enough to attain success."
As Xuanyuan Long spoke, he seemed a little thirsty and drank some wine before continuing,
"If it was just that, Ling Feng might still not necessarily be your match even after taking the shortcut."
"But with my newly researched pills as supplementary measures, taking a two-pronged approach, you will surely prevail over him."
After finishing, Xuanyuan Long downed the wine in his cup.
Pills? There's actually such a thing?
Ye Feng stared fixedly at his master, his eyes filled with envy.
Why didn't I get any back then when I had to painfully cultivate?
Now as soon as my junior sister comes, she gets this and that.
In short, she has everything.
Xuanyuan Long ignored Ye Feng's gaze and said to Mu Jianping, "These days, just concentrate on cultivating with me. Don't get distracted by other matters, strive to achieve within three months."
However well-laid plans often go awry.
The three months Xuanyuan Long spoke of was naturally an ideal state.
If she slacked for three days and cultivated for two, even three years would not be enough.
"That's right, that's right. My granddaughter, don't bother with company matters these days. Hand everything over to your father to take full charge."
Mu Dinggua was fully supportive of his granddaughter's growth naturally.
Xuanyuan Long looked at Ye Feng again and said angrily, "Can't even take down little Ling Feng. You've utterly disgraced me."
"Starting today, enter seclusion with your martial sister. "
"I'll set up a separate stove for you and strive for you to at least not be killed by him in one palm."
Seclusion? In an enclosed dark space without phones or the Internet.
Good heavens, how cruel.
Ye Feng struggled desperately, "Master, but I still have school..."
"Apply for leave. I'll talk to your teachers."
"What's more, you can review for a day before exams and just barely pass."
Xuanyuan Long didn't care at all. After cultivating internal energy, hearing and vision would greatly improve, as would memory.
Something like an exam would be easy to pass.
As for skipping classes usually.
The higher echelons of the school belonged to the Ye family. Who would dare make things difficult for him?
"Alright, no need to pack your things. Starting today, full powered seclusion. Strive for greater progress."
Xuanyuan Long made a final decision, completely cutting off Ye Feng's possibility of escape.
The Mu family had long prepared the seclusion venue at another villa behind the one they were in.
Anywhere would do as long as no one disturbed them. Even a cave would work.

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow.
