Chapter 420: 0421 The Disappearance of the Unusual

In the following days on the cruise, Mu Zhige indeed tried to reconnect with Ye Qiu, intending to continue matchmaking him with his sister, Mu Wanqing, but each time, Ye Qiu tactfully declined.

When Mu Wanqing heard the news, she was so infuriated that her face almost turned purple. In the past few days, her brother Mu Zhige had been incessantly praising Ye Qiu, which had piqued Mu Wanqing’s curiosity about him; but after being repeatedly rejected, she could no longer save face.

"Brother, stop seeking him out. If he’s busy, let him be. You make it seem as if your sister can’t get married," Mu Wanqing complained.

Mu Zhige’s face showed helplessness. Matters of the heart were such that his meddling wasn’t making his sister happy. He finally sighed and said, "Fine, I’ll stop meddling. Whatever type you like, you can bring them to me to see. I’ll support your choices."

Mu Wanqing’s complaint turned into a grin as she affectionately sat beside Mu Zhige, "I knew you cared for me the most, brother."

For five days straight, Ye Qiu mostly stayed in his cabin, only when the night was deep and quiet would he stand at the mast, staring into the endless black ocean, lost in thought.

Mu Zhige’s sudden cessation came as a relief to Ye Qiu. He didn’t want to interact too much with the siblings given his current identity, so he chose to hide away or to keep his door shut, avoiding contact with them.

It was only when the cruise reached the port in Myanmar that Ye Qiu showed his face in front of the two of them.

Mu Zhige spoke a few words to Ye Qiu, mentioning they could get in touch once back in China. Ye Qiu politely agreed. As for Mu Wanqing, who was playing with Ma Lingling, Sun Yijia, and Han Lei, she pouted and ignored Ye Qiu when his gaze fell upon her.

This almost provoked a spitfire reaction from the beauty. Besides a bitter smile, Ye Qiu had no other response, but he didn’t mind. Waving goodbye to them, he left with a carefree attitude. It wasn’t until Ye Qiu had walked a considerable distance that Mu Wanqing’s beautiful eyes followed, watching his retreating figure. In an instant, it felt very familiar to her. She remembered that man... Was he still in China? Did he remember her?

About ten days of sea travel later, a shocking event occurred in the underworld.

Edward, ranked third on the danger list, was suspected to have been killed. To this day, his whereabouts remain unknown, with no sign of him.

This was no ordinary person, but a true expert. People were curious as to why he had vanished without a trace.

In the end, someone found a clue. The result led to speculation and discussion among the majority.

Edward was suspected to have taken an assignment from the Condor-Gil family to target someone, which explained his absence for half a month.

The Condor-Gil family, a powerful and influential family with a long history and global reach, was not to be trifled with. Anyone with a bit of background knew that becoming their target meant hardly being able to sleep soundly, as to oppose the Condor-Gil family was akin to opposing the Grim Reaper.

Who would be the enemy of the Condor-Gil family? At this thought, people couldn’t help but recall a name, that young man who leaped onto the tenth spot of the danger list—Ye Qiu!

"Could it be that Edward went to kill Ye Qiu? And instead, he got killed by Ye Qiu? Don’t tell me this is true!" someone exclaimed in disbelief.

If he truly had the capability to eliminate Edward, wouldn’t that mean his ranking would leap over the seven experts ahead of him to the third spot?

On the forum of the underworld, discussions about Ye Qiu’s ranking position were rampant and lively.

As a new user on the underworld forum, Shangguan Mingyue joined the discussion group under the ID ’Guan Mingyue’ and firmly supported Ye Qiu’s side, endorsing him.

Edward’s failure left the Clan Leader of the Condor-Gil family, Adit, fuming with rage. This was yet another blunder, continuously damaging the family honor. In Adit’s heart, Ye Qiu was loathed to death; the man from China seemed like a cockroach that couldn’t be stamped out.

"We cannot afford another failure, otherwise my Condor-Gil family will become the laughingstock of the underworld."

"Aside from that Ye Qiu, those young Martial Artists from Huaxia who are new on the scene all deserve to die, actually ranking each other by how many transformed beastmen within their clan they kill, unforgivable, they must all die,"

Edit’s target was not just to kill Ye Qiu alone, he wanted to kill more of Huaxia’s outstanding young Martial Artists.

...

After arriving in Myanmar, Ye Qiu came to the Houjiang mining area; the main reason he did not return directly to Huaxia was that there was something in this mine that attracted him.

About the existence that stirred the black qi, what exactly was calling it, this time he arrived here, he intended to get to the bottom of it.

Previously, when he left, he had a great disagreement with Li Jinglong’s cousin, Du Hao, even coming to blows, but Ye Qiu did not seek him out. He wanted to investigate the truth and needed no one’s help.

Nonetheless, Ye Qiu still came to the place where he first felt that stirring of the black qi; it was here that he had sensed that strange feeling.

Ye Qiu gazed into the distance, parting some of his attention to watch if the black qi showed any signs of moving.

Unfortunately, after staring for a long time, the black qi remained still; the unrest from before did not reappear, causing Ye Qiu to frown repeatedly.

What in the world was going on? Logically, there should have been some reaction.

Ye Qiu was puzzled, but at this moment, he had no solution because he could not determine exactly where the original stirring of the black qi was, he only felt it was nearby, but the specific location was uncertain.

Just as Ye Qiu was at his wits’ end, a familiar figure appeared in his sight.

Du Hao!

Ye Qiu saw the other person, but Du Hao did not notice Ye Qiu at all.

"Why is he still here?" Ye Qiu was somewhat surprised. Not to mention that after the anomaly in the mining area, it had been sealed off. Later on, he got into a fight with some islanders, slaughtering several of them, creating a huge turmoil. By his calculations, it had been only a little over a month since he left this place for Italy, and the mining area had already quieted down.

But Du Hao neither knew how to appraise stones, and with the sparse population here, why was he so obsessed with staying in this place?

Ye Qiu did not want to have any further contact with Du Hao and was preparing to leave, but as Du Hao complained, Ye Qiu suddenly stopped.

"These islanders have come here and bought up the entire mountain; God knows what tricks they’re up to now," Du Hao muttered, his tone filled with annoyance, as if his power had been compromised.

Du Hao couldn’t help but reminisce about the days gone by, with Ye Qiu, the expert stone appraiser, his purchases were always accurate. Those pieces of jade had sold for an astronomical figure, earning him quite a bit, but sadly, the vast majority had to go to the Li family, with little ending up in his hands.

"Forget it, no point in thinking about it anymore. I thought that Ye Qiu was a pushover, but he turned out to be tougher than a walnut. Since I can’t rely on him to help me make money, I’ll have to see if I can get some cash from the islanders." One month passed, and Du Hao had aged significantly; he hadn’t even shaved his beard, and the remaining two followers were guarding in front of the makeshift dwelling.

After catching every word of Du Hao’s complaints, Ye Qiu suddenly had a thought. Could it be that the black qi couldn’t sense that stirring because the islanders had bought an entire mountain?

If that were the case, had the islanders discovered something? Ye Qiu no longer hesitated, preparing to check out the nearby hill.
