One person: After starting with the academic atmosphere, I'll take down Xia He!

Ma Xianhong suddenly stopped Ma Long and the other two, saying that his sister Qu Tong wanted to treat them to dinner.

Ma Long hesitated, feeling uncertain about the outcome.

"Old Ma, has your sister come to the village?"

When is dinner served?

"She didn't come. She asked me to take you to the Northwest to meet her."

Then let's have a meal together.

"What? The Northwest?"

"We're currently in the southwest, so we have to take a plane to find her, right?"

Ma Long stared in astonishment, wondering what Qu Tong was up to.

Why does inviting someone to dinner have to be done in the Northwest?

"Yeah, so you don't have to worry, bro."

Let's stay in the village for a couple more days and think it over. If we decide to go, we'll book plane tickets and go together.

It doesn't matter if I don't go.

There's so much work to do in my village, I'm too lazy to make the trip!

Without much thought, Ma Xianhong told him the truth. Asking him to put down his weapon-forging and travel a long way to have a meal was too much to ask of him.

Ma Long rested his chin on his hand, pondered for a moment, and decided that it was not urgent to draw a conclusion on this matter.

We've just acquired a key player, so we should consult Gao Yushan's opinion; her information is quite comprehensive.

"Alright, then let's stay in the village for another two days."

There are some matters at the Salvation Palace headquarters that I need to return to if they can't handle them.

"If they can resolve this properly, then we'll go find your sister."

Malone made up a reason, and the trio returned to the village.

"A completely airtight sound-suppressing talisman!"

"A leaf before the eyes obscures all meaning!"

The three of them squeezed into the familiar room again, and the meeting was held once more.

Ma Long first introduced Gao Yushan's situation to Wang Ye, since the two had a very close relationship.

After listening, Wang Ye expressed sympathy for Gao Yushan, but was equally delighted when he heard about her extraordinary abilities.

"Junior Uncle, you've really struck gold!"

There are probably only a handful of people in the entire community with this kind of ability, but she is definitely the only one in China.

What are we waiting for? Why don't you just ask her directly!

Whether Qu Tong possesses the Dual-Hand Technique or the Soul-Clearing Technique, whether they can befriend each other or not, they could directly heal her.

Why should we bother?

"Hmph!

You're confused. Although you don't know Qu Tong's purpose, this old woman doesn't seem like a good person!

"Look at Old Ma's bizarre background, don't you understand?"

Ma Long didn't take it seriously; he harbored great hostility towards Qu Tong, whom he had never met.

"Harmful!

These are all just your guesses. What if she...?

Forget it, let's stop guessing and ask Gao Yushan!

Wang Ye wasn't foolish enough to categorize strangers as good people, so he immediately stopped arguing.

Ma Long nodded, opened his phone, and was about to look for Gao Yushan's contact information when he was surprised to find that her account had already been pinned to the top of his chat list.

The first thing you see when you open the page is an adorable profile picture.

As soon as Ma Long tapped the profile picture, before he could even type a message, his phone screen went black.

A moment later, a familiar anime girl appeared on the screen, and her sweet voice came through again.

"Brother Long, you're already missing her already!"

"What's up? It's not just idle chatter, is it?"

Hearing such an intimate and ambiguous tone and manner, Wang Ye cast a different kind of look at him.

Ma Long pretended not to see it, lowered his head, and focused on the screen.

"Shanshan, here's the situation: Ma Xianhong's sister, Qu Tong, wants to invite the three of us to the Northwest for a meal together."

I'm not sure what to do, and I'm afraid they'll kick me out again once I get there, so I'm asking how much you know about Qu Tong."

"Qu Tong, is she the president of Yaoxing Society?"

I did investigate before, and it seems quite normal; he's well-connected both inside and outside the industry.

They act with discretion, and the company has a very high opinion of Yaoxing Society.

As organizations that collect information, the company's assessment of Jianghu Xiaozhan was simply that it was a sect full of Jianghu spirit.

As for Qu Tong, well...

Nothing special, above average looks, not ugly, just pretty ordinary.

Her personality and behavior are impeccable; all the information I've gathered about her is quite normal and ordinary.

I really have no advice for you.

Gao Yushan sifted through the information in her mind but found no problems with Qu Tong; she was indeed an ordinary woman.

"Hmph!

Yes, it's amazing that someone as powerful and extraordinary as you would find her so ordinary, someone you can't find fault with.

This in itself is the biggest point of suspicion!

This isn't me being argumentative; I'm just trying to find fault where I am.

You know less about Qu Tong than I do. You can see the dark side of people, but you can't find any suspicious points about her.

Even the most upright person in life might secretly watch some low-brow videos.

But she's all too normal!

Ma Long's analysis was entirely his own conjecture, which Gao Yushan naturally wouldn't agree with.

"Who said she doesn't watch popular videos?"

I noticed that she frequently watches videos about breast enhancement and lactation!

Look at her photos; that's the result of her hard work.

"Ah, this..."

We're not talking about the same thing!

Do you understand Qu Tong's abilities? Do you know anything about Ma Xianhong?

Malone's face darkened; he was too lazy to crack jokes now.

"Uh, I'm not too sure about that. The information only mentions that she is a naturally gifted person."

As for Ma Xianhong, isn't he just a stubborn village chief who has mastered the Divine Hundred Refinements technique?

Do I know less information than you do?

In this day and age, almost no one can completely escape the internet.

Gao Yushan did not believe that the online world she controlled was as comprehensive as Ma Long's.

"Sigh, you are very strong."

But as you said, many secrets are not uploaded to the internet. Everyone has one or two secrets that only a few close confidants know.

If everyone in your circle is like this, would you still be so confident in your own information?

Ma Long spoke to Gao Yushan calmly and slowly, understanding that this cute girl from Northeast China was too confident.

Moreover, they had only spent a short time with the three of them, so this was exactly what they needed to do to build a closer relationship.

So Ma Long patiently explained that Ma Xianhong had mysteriously lost his memory, most likely under Qu Tong's control, and that Qu Tong had mastered either the Soul-Clearing Technique or the Dual-Hand Technique, and most likely the Dual-Hand Technique!

He told Gao Yushan everything about the cultivation furnace.

Ma Long knew that since he trusted the other party, there was no need to hide anything. He did the same with Wang and Gao Yushan.

"this!

Is everything you said true? Ah!

I'm so touched that you trust me so much!

Mom!

"It seems your two weeks in Biyou Village were definitely worthwhile. Impressive!"
