I don't know if it's because Qin Fang was holding her small hand, making her very shy, but Ye Huan's face also had a faint blush.

Almost at the moment Qin Fang and his companions reached the door, it happened to open, and a man came in with a woman in his arms.

However, as soon as they entered, they were stunned to see that not only were the lights inside on, but there were already two people standing in front of them.

"Uh... it's you!"

When the man saw Qin Fang, he was first taken aback and then his face turned quite ugly, speaking through gritted teeth.

At the same time, his eyes showed considerable fear, as if he was very apprehensive of Qin Fang.

"Long time no see..."

Qin Fang looked at the man with a calm expression and said in a flat tone, as if meeting an old friend, but from the other's expression, it was obviously not that kind of relationship.

"Why are you in my house?"

The man's face was very displeased, and his eyes looked quite grim, yet he didn't seem to dare confront directly, only speaking in a very unpleasant tone.

"Oh, nothing much, just heard that someone seemed very dissatisfied with me, apparently threatening to deal with me, so I came by for a look..."

Qin Fang said with an exceptionally calm tone, as if it were really the case.

Yet as soon as Qin Fang said this, the other's eyes widened instantly, showing considerable surprise as if a deep inner secret had been pierced.

"What do you mean?"

After a moment of silence, the man finally spoke in a soft tone, which had a touch of pleading.

"Nothing much, just came to see you... it's getting late, so we won't disturb you, we'll leave first..."

Qin Fang smiled lightly and said unconcernedly, then left, holding Ye Huan's small hand, without even glancing at the man's expression again.

Of course, the woman next to the man did not even have the courage to speak, like a frightened quail.

Even long after Qin Fang and Ye Huan left, the two didn't quite come back to their senses... As for when they discovered the room had been left in such a state, their faces would probably look even worse.

Naturally, Qin Fang didn't care about this, and quietly led Ye Huan down the stairs, walking slowly outside, both appearing a bit silent.

"You seem to know the man?"

It was Ye Huan who asked curiously, as could be inferred from the conversation between Qin Fang and that man.

"The manager of Drunken River South... people from the Green Gang!"

Qin Fang smiled, glanced at Ye Huan, and explained simply.

The reason Qin Fang was so calm was that he originally wanted to compensate the head of that house, but upon discovering that the owner was an acquaintance, Qin Fang dispensed with the idea altogether, as that man was Green Wolf from the Green Gang, who had quite a past conflict with Qin Fang.

Back when Qin Fang ventured into Drunken River South alone, it made the Green Gang lose face significantly, especially since as the manager of Drunken River South, Green Wolf's prestige took a huge hit as well.

Although Boss Kui didn't hold anything against it, Green Wolf felt his own decline, with a heart full of hatred towards Qin Fang, often privately claiming he would trouble Qin Fang.

Of course, he only said so privately, without the guts to actually make it public, had he had the courage, he wouldn't have been oppressed by Qin Fang like that in the first place.

These were all things Qin Fang discovered using his Mind Reading Technique, as soon as they met, Green Wolf accidentally exposed his deep inner secret, which Qin Fang seized to easily resolve the matter.

"So it's him..."

It seemed Ye Huan had also heard of him, and when Qin Fang mentioned it, she seemed to realize instantly, quickly remembering who he was.

The matter with Green Wolf was just a small episode; neither Qin Fang nor Ye Huan would delve into it, and the only one who would care might be Green Wolf himself, but he was only scared.

"By the way, about you... what's the situation with this?"

Qin Fang hesitated for a moment and still asked about Ye Huan's matter, specifically, the Baihua Valley affair, as there was a deeply mysterious sense behind it.

"You... better not ask! It's of no benefit to you..."

Yet Qin Fang's words changed Ye Huan's face in an instant, her eyes showing a hint of fear, indicating there really was something hidden and unknown.

"Actually, even if you say nothing, do you really think you can completely dissociate me from it?"

Though Ye Huan's refusal was well-intentioned, Qin Fang helplessly smiled bitterly, as it was clear he was already involved in this matter, and full dissociation was impossible.

"Moreover, now that you've broken through to Grandmaster Level, with True Qi taking form inside you, some people can easily notice this; you can no longer hide it..."

Then Qin Fang helplessly pointed out, worried Ye Huan might still be in self-deception.

"By the way, whether you know it or not, there is a Grandmaster-level expert in Baihua Tea House; if you plan to save someone... I advise against it!"

From Ye Huan's current attitude, it seemed she planned to return to Baihua Tea House, although Qin Fang couldn't guess all her intents, saving someone was undoubtedly one of her purposes.

Though Grandmaster-level experts are top-notch in the mundane Martial World, seemingly scarce in number, the reality isn't so.

Not to mention that Grandmaster-level experts aren't much, even Grandmaster-level experts themselves can't claim invincibility; many stronger than Grandmaster-level exist, just harder to encounter.

"You..."

In fact, how could Ye Huan not know these things? She just tried not to think in the worst way; doing so would make her even more indecisive.

Yet Qin Fang deliberately broke the illusion, making her feel very uncomfortable; although it was a fact she had to face, Qin Fang's way was hard for her to take.

"Are you sure there is really a Grandmaster-level expert in Baihua Tea House?"

Yet what must be faced must be faced, and Ye Huan couldn't help but ask.

"Absolutely authentic… just staying in the courtyard ahead of you!"

Qin Fang nodded, having detected using his Scouting Skill, which hadn't had any errors so far; the Grandmaster-level expert was definitely infallible.

"That courtyard ahead... could it be her?"

Hearing Qin Fang's answer, Ye Huan hesitated for a moment but soon thought of someone and her face changed slightly.

"If you think I'm trustworthy, you can tell me some of the inside story; though I can't promise anything, I will do my best to help you and your sect if needed..."

Hesitant for a moment, Qin Fang responded sincerely.

Though he knew he shouldn't get involved in such trouble, if the current plight of Baihua Valley indeed involved Baihua Demon Sect, then Qin Fang felt compelled to intervene.

Not because Qin Fang was meddling or excessively righteous, but only because the Baihua Demon Sect was one of the Demonic Path's Six Great Sects, the weakest among them, yet important to Qin Fang.

The reason behind this, only Qin Fang himself knew, as these things were not convenient to bring up.

Especially with Ye Huan, whose sect might have been entirely controlled by others, it seemed a bit opportunistic for Qin Fang to intervene now…

"Alright... I can tell you the inside story, but I hope you won't spread these secrets, or else..." Ye Huan gritted her teeth, apparently having no better option, forced to compromise, though her eyes grew deep as she looked at Qin Fang. (To be continued.
