At one o'clock in the morning, Qin Hao was tossing and turning on the sofa.

Oh heavens, I really want to be a gentleman, why must you push me?

Sighing bitterly in his heart, Qin Hao took a deep breath, got up from the sofa, and gazed deeply at Bi Fang's room door.

Another flash of lightning struck across, and thunder roared like an accompaniment.

Just as someone was about to step forward, that door suddenly opened.

Qin Hao immediately lay down on the sofa, closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep.

A slit opened in his eyes, seeing Bi Fang tiptoe her way over.

"Hey, are you awake?"

Bi Fang gently called out, Qin Hao continued his act of sleeping.

Bi Fang tentatively touched his arm, Qin Hao intentionally ground his teeth, indicating he's in deep sleep.

"Really like a pig."

After Bi Fang confirmed he genuinely fell asleep, she climbed onto the sofa and lay down next to Qin Hao.

Bang!

Thunder rang out, Qin Hao could clearly feel a tremor beside him.

Turns out, this girl is afraid of thunder!

Just then, a small silhouette came out of the room too and proactively climbed onto the sofa, squeezing between the two.

"Brother and sister, I don't want to disturb you, but I really am afraid of thunder..."

In the darkness, Xixi's voice full of apology sounded, followed by the sound of steady breathing, the girl actually fell asleep like that.

Qin Hao could only stare at the dark ceiling full of grief.

The next day, the rain passed and the sky cleared, the weather was sunny and bright.

Though the weather was great, Qin Hao's mood was terribly bad.

As he left the house with two black eyes, Bi Fang ran over, "Can you accompany me to a gathering tonight?"

Her face seemed quite good, she slept well last night.

"Is this what you wanted to say last night?"

Qin Hao asked dejectedly.

"Yes."

Bi Fang nodded, exceptionally appearing somewhat reserved.

Qin Hao could see that this gathering must be very important to Bi Fang, so he nodded and said, "Alright. I'll come to pick you up tonight."

After parting with Bi Fang, Qin Hao left the slums and came to the street, intending to catch a taxi to go home and catch up on sleep, but saw a black Mercedes-Benz driving from afar.

Originally, Qin Hao didn't pay much attention, but after seeing the license plate, his eyes narrowed: This car seems suspicious.

Reflecting carefully, this car seemed to have been parked under Bi Fang's building just now?

Just as he was puzzled, the Mercedes-Benz parked by the roadside, the door opened, and a man in a suit with a dignified appearance came out, "Are you Mr. Qin Hao?"

"Who are you?"

Despite feeling unwell, Qin Hao's expression was considered friendly.

"You can call me Xiao Zhao, I'm here to invite you on behalf of the Ancient Martial Alliance."

Xiao Zhao's tone was very gentle, evidently, he must have undergone reception training.

Inside, Qin Hao sneered: Last time you were so arrogant, today you actually took the initiative to send someone to pick me up, seems the Ancient Martial Alliance values me greatly...

Despite thinking this, he had no intention of refusing.

The mere license plate of the Mercedes-Benz indicates the power of the Ancient Martial Alliance is not trivial.

Furthermore, Qin Hao had long wanted to visit the headquarters of the Ancient Martial Alliance.

"I'll go with you."

Seeing Qin Hao say this, Xiao Zhao smiled and bent over, gestured, "Please."

...

Half an hour later, the Mercedes-Benz stopped at the Central White Cloud Mansion in the city center.

"Is this actually the headquarters of the Ancient Martial Alliance?"

Standing at the base of the building, Qin Hao looked up at the mansion, realizing he couldn't see the top at a glance.

Even as someone not from here, he had heard that the White Cloud Mansion is the second tallest building after the Central Mansion in the demonic poison city.

As a representative of modern architectural standards, this mansion has inevitably become a popular tourist attraction.

Qin Hao didn't expect such a prime location to actually house the headquarters of the Ancient Martial Alliance.

It seems this Alliance is more formidable than I imagined.

Thinking this, Qin Hao followed Xiao Zhao into the building, heading straight for the top 112th floor.

Beep!

The elevator opened, and ahead was a magnificent passage, the walls on either side hung with expensive oil paintings, and elegant and fresh potted plants beside the path.

At the far end of the passage, was a tightly closed maroon wooden door, giving an awe-inspiring sense.

"That door, is the office of our Alliance Leader."

Xiao Zhao pointed to the wooden door, smiling as he spoke.

"Alright."

Qin Hao also nodded slightly at him, carrying himself with pride as he walked through the corridor, his steps somewhat unsteady, heading towards the wooden door.

Once midway, the wooden door suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man with a stern face came out.

His mouth curved slightly in anger, seemingly dissatisfied with the conversation just now.

Seeing Qin Hao approaching, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and his face grew even colder.

What's with this guy's expression? Do I owe him money?

Qin Hao could feel the murderous intent in the man's gaze, thinking quickly: Could he be Qi Tianzong, whom Ma Xiaowei mentioned?

The answer was soon confirmed.

The man abruptly stopped in his tracks, staring at Qin Hao, saying, "The Alliance Leader actually wants to recruit a villain like you, must be insane!"

Indeed, who else but Qi Tianzong would hate Qin Hao like this?

"Whether I'm a villain or not is not for you to say."

Qin Hao smirked lightly, "You colluding with hypocrite Xiao Lingtian, Qi Tianzong, I think you're even worse than me by that much."

Qi Tianzong's expression changed, "So you know everything. But don't think I'm doing this just because of Old Xiao. For a blood-stained executioner like you, I'll risk everything to eliminate!"

"Old geezer, your mouth isn't that sharp, if you want to anger me, you'll need to try harder."

Qin Hao's smile remained unchanged.
