Yue Qingshan was dazed for a long time, then a smile appeared on her face. Su Changfeng becoming stronger was also a good thing for Yue Qingshan, and the only downside that could be pointed out was that the stronger Su Changfeng became, the more obsessed she became with him.

"If there's nothing else, you should leave now," Yue Qingshan said.

Dong Hao was willing to do anything for Yue Qingshan, but faced with Su Changfeng, whom he couldn't control, Dong Hao felt it necessary to remind Yue Qingshan, "Miss, Su Changfeng becoming strong is not necessarily a good thing for us. If he turns against us, no one would be able to deal with him. Shouldn't you consider some measures to control the lifeline of Su Changfeng?"

"I might never become Su Changfeng's woman, but as long as I'm alive, he can't be too cold-hearted towards me. Do you know why I chose to come back?" Yue Qingshan asked sadly.

Dong Hao shook his head in confusion. He really couldn't understand why, after leaving, Yue Qingshan would stubbornly return to Su Changfeng's side.

"I intend to make Su Changfeng feel guilty, even if it's just a little guilt," Yue Qingshan said bitterly. She no longer hoped Su Changfeng would fall in love with her. Choosing to make him feel guilt might be the most humble unrequited love in the world.

Dong Hao's heart ached, saying with a hint of helplessness, "Why put yourself in such a difficult position, Miss?"

"Difficult?" Yue Qingshan smiled calmly, "To me, it's not difficult at all. At least for now, I'm still enjoying myself. Besides, the Zhou Family's issues need Su Changfeng's help, so there's nothing really difficult about it."

"But..."

"There's nothing to 'but' about. Go do your job," Yue Qingshan interrupted Dong Hao, and began tidying the tableware on the table.

Dong Hao felt that Yue Qingshan's approach wasn't worth it. But he also knew that once Yue Qingshan made a decision, no one could change it.

In the kitchen, Yue Qingshan was doing chores that only housewives would dare to do. For someone like Yue Qingshan, who bore the title of the Zhou Family's daughter, doing such chores seemed beneath her status, yet she did them wholeheartedly without any thoughts of complaint.

To Yue Qingshan, the thing that made her happiest now seemed to be washing the dishes used by Su Changfeng.

Meanwhile, Su Changfeng had already driven to a village in the Jiangcheng Suburb. Before arriving, he contacted Huo Tian. Only then did he find out Huo Tian lived here, quite close to Jiang City, and he understood the reasons Huo Tian had settled here.

Earlier, when he returned to Beijing, Ji Hong told him that Huo Tian was undertaking a very important task, which according to Ji Hong meant secretly protecting him, making Su Changfeng feel particularly grateful.

Ever since Su Changfeng was not valued by the Ye Family, the only concern he felt was from Huo Tian, unchanged over the years.

In today's rural area, most are left-behind children and some solitary seniors. The young and strong generally go out to work or seek other livelihoods. This is a common phenomenon in rural areas because in the current society, living a peaceful life for one's whole life is almost impossible.

Upon reaching Huo Tian's residence, after parking the car, several children curiously gathered around, seemingly fascinated.

This village isn't far from Jiang City, and cars, though not unfamiliar to these kids, are a luxury at such close range, allowing them to watch and even touch the cars.

Upon entering the yard, Huo Tian was dressed plainly, just like an ordinary farmer, tending to the vegetable garden in the yard.

Su Changfeng didn't say a word and went straight to help out. The two of them were busy in the small garden for half a day. No one would believe that an old man highly regarded in Beijing and a young master from the Ye Family would be doing such things.

In the afternoon, the sun was fairly bright. The elderly and the young were outside, enjoying the shade, their hands covered in dirt, yet neither bothered washing their hands, just like the villagers.

"I've already heard about what happened last night," Huo Tian smiled benevolently at Su Changfeng.

Previously, this face was incomparably handsome. In Su Changfeng's eyes, it was also one of the faces that reassured him in this world, despite its wrinkles now.

"Grandpa Huo, don't you think something's off? Based on my skills, I could actually KO Chen Zhiji with one punch," Su Changfeng said.

Huo Tian nodded undeniably, saying, "Given your current strength, it's genuinely impossible to beat Chen Zhiji. I was particularly shocked when I first received the news you KO'd Chen Zhiji."

"Grandpa Huo, if I told you I suddenly acquired this incredible power, would you believe me?" Su Changfeng said.

Huo Tian's expression instantly became more serious, asking urgently, "Have there been any unusual occurrences recently?"

Speaking of unusual things, it might be those inexplicable headaches every night. But when Su Changfeng told Huo Tian about this, Huo Tian's confusion grew stronger.

"Headache?" Huo Tian shook his head, unable to connect these things.

"It truly is strange. Just when I had those headaches, I realized my inner strength had suddenly grown much stronger—to a strangely incredible degree. Grandpa Huo, though these might seem unrelated, I believe there's certainly a connection," Su Changfeng said.

Huo Tian nodded. He also trusted Su Changfeng's intuition; given Su Changfeng's words, it must surely be true.

However, why the headaches occurred and why the power arose, Huo Tian could not explain.

"In the world we live in, there's indeed a presence of people with powers inexplicable to ordinary ones. Before in the battlefield, I met one too. He single-handedly defeated the opposing army. But I only met that person once. I truly feel there's a realm ordinary people can't reach. I tried investigating, but unfortunately, I couldn't contact, and the nature of your inner power might only be understandable to someone from another realm," Huo Tian said.

"Grandpa Huo, does this 'realm' you mention mean where the Immortals live?" Su Changfeng laughed.

Knowing Su Changfeng was teasing him, Huo Tian playfully knocked on Su Changfeng's head, saying, "You even dare joke with me. You have some guts!"
