"How strange, could it be that I've seen a ghost today? Why do the young master and young madam seem much more intimate than before?"

Within the Qin Family, Ji Chen and Huang Shuying were garnering much attention from the servants as they searched everywhere for a third person.

Usually, these two hardly spoke a few words to each other, but today, since the morning, they had been secretly spending time together, laughing and chatting, which was completely different from what everyone knew.

"What do you think? Should we take a look at the Cultivation Technique Hall?"

In the face of the servants' gossip, Ji Chen and the two paid no heed.

After confirming that there was no third person in the Qin Mansion, Ji Chen decided to focus on the Cultivation Technique Hall.

One must know, in this Secret Realm, nothing obtained can be taken out, only memories are the most precious.

If more Secret Techniques and Martial Techniques can be studied here, then outside, that would be the greatest harvest.

Huang Shuying nodded, clearly having thought of this early on.

Soon, the two of them made their way toward the Cultivation Technique Hall.

"So many..."

In a certain place at the back of the Qin Family, inside an ancient hall, Ji Chen and the two arrived.

Looking around, they saw the hall was filled with countless large and small wooden racks, all of which housed various Martial Techniques and Cultivation Techniques. Just a quick glance, Ji Chen estimated that there were at least several thousand kinds.

In the memories he acquired, Qin Chen, this wastrel, had rarely come here.

Thus, his understanding of the Cultivation Technique Hall was extremely limited, and now, seeing the dazzling array of Martial Techniques inside, Ji Chen couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"The left side holds the Earth Tier and Celestial Tier Martial Techniques, while the right contains the Holy Techniques," Huang Shuying explained.

Chi Yun was different from Qin Chen, she had a deep obsession with cultivation.

Born without the family's favor, marrying Qin Chen was merely to fulfill the alliance between the Chi and Qin Families.

She was not dissatisfied with this, because in the Chi Family, even as the Patriarch's daughter, she rarely had the privilege to enter the Cultivation Technique Hall.

But things were different after coming to the Qin Family. Although there was no real marital relationship with Qin Chen, Qin Zhihai doted on her immensely, viewing her as a true daughter-in-law and granting her free access to various parts of the Qin Family.

Therefore, in the two years since marrying into the Qin Family, Chi Yun frequently visited the Martial Arts Hall to study Cultivation Techniques, hoping that one day, she could prove her worth with strength, letting the Chi Family know that those born ordinary might not always be insignificant.

Soon, the two of them began to roam around the Cultivation Technique Hall, each flipping through the Martial Techniques inside and attempting to cultivate them.

For Ji Chen and Huang Shuying, they had an abundance of time.

After all, with a whole ten years, it was enough for them to study more than half of the Cultivation Techniques in this Ancient Hall.

So, they didn't deliberately choose any specific Martial Techniques to cultivate but tried to train in whichever book they flipped to. Success, of course, was good, and failure meant no loss.

Ling'Er stood guard outside the Cultivation Technique Hall, her mind in a fog, feeling that the way she woke up today seemed unusual.

When did the young master and young madam become so close?

Not only did they 'inspect' the entire Qin Family together, but from the stroke of noon onward, they both entered the Cultivation Technique Hall, and now, at sunset, they hadn't yet come out.

What astonished her, even more, was that the young master actually entered the Cultivation Technique Hall!

Who in the Qin Family, or even the entire Divine River City, didn't know?

This wastrel of a young master loved nothing more than leisurely roaming around, even often carousing with some unsavory friends, drinking and indulging until late at night before returning home.

As for cultivation, he had never been interested.

If it hadn't been for the Patriarch forcing him to train several times over the years, he would likely be a complete wastrel by now.

It was even less possible for him to peacefully delve into Martial Techniques in the Cultivation Technique Hall.

"Qin bro! Qin bro, are you there?"

As night fell, a voice suddenly called out from outside the Cultivation Technique Hall.

Ling'Er, who was guarding the place, frowned slightly upon seeing the caller.

Fu Yun, a member of the Fu Family, one of the nine prominent Di Races in Divine River City, was a frequent companion of Qin Chen's debauchery, visiting places of ill repute together.

"Why is Young Master Fu Yun here?"

Though not fond of Fu Yun, Ling'Er greeted and asked cautiously, mindful of his status.

"Ling'Er, where's your young master? Today, we agreed to meet at the 'Drunken Fragrance Tower,' yet he hasn't shown up. I was worried something had happened to Qin bro, so I came to check. I heard he's in the Cultivation Technique Hall?" Fu Yun, dressed in luxurious attire and looking quite the wealthy gentleman, toyed with two Jade Pearls in his hand.

These two Jade Pearls were extraordinary; they were gifts from his father upon reaching adulthood—Saint Artifact Level Dharma Pearls, capable of protecting him from two lethal attacks.

But such sacred items were now merely toys in his hands, making it hard to know what to say.

"Who's yelling outside?"

At that moment, Ji Chen's voice came from within the Cultivation Technique Hall.

Soon, he and Huang Shuying emerged.

"Fu Yun?"

Upon seeing the visitor, Ji Chen was taken aback, recognizing him from memories.

"Qin bro, everyone's waiting for you at the Drunken Fragrance Tower. What happened today? You actually started studying Cultivation Techniques?" Fu Yun looked puzzled, glancing at Ji Chen and then at the Cultivation Technique Hall behind him.

"Uh... sister-in-law's here too."

He quickly noticed Huang Shuying, momentarily stunned again.

In Fu Yun's memory, Qin Chen was never seen together with Chi Yun.

Even during their outings, Fu Yun often heard Qin Chen complain about Chi Yun, calling her ordinary-looking and only knowing how to bury herself in cultivation, wasting her time.

"Drunken Fragrance Tower..."

Ji Chen scratched his head, vaguely recalling that indeed, he was supposed to meet Fu Yun and some so-called friends at the Drunken Fragrance Tower today, but he almost forgot due to being engrossed in studying Martial Techniques.

"I'm going out for a while; I might come back late."

Thinking this, he glanced at Huang Shuying beside him and said.

But upon saying this, Ling'Er and Fu Yun looked at each other in bewilderment.

What's going on?

Our young master Qin Chen, heading out, was now starting to report to his wife?

"If you want to go, then go. Do I need to agree?"

Huang Shuying also came to her senses, feeling it inappropriate because, in others' understanding, Qin Chen and Chi Yun's relationship was far from reaching this level.
