Chapter 204 The Root of the Contradiction!
Refining the Qi Sea Elixir was not an easy task.
Qin Jiang had only one set of ingredients for the pill, so success was his only option; failure was not allowed.
After entering meditation, he pushed his body, energy, and spirit to their limits before he began the alchemy process.
Two days passed.
Two days later...
Qin Jiang finally emerged, his body emanating the scent of medicinal herbs.
However, his face was filled with joy.
"The Qi Sea Elixir, refined successfully!"
With this elixir, breaking through to the Qi Sea Realm would be a piece of cake!
Just as he stepped outside, he saw Xu Muge sitting in the living room.
"Why are you here?"
Xu Muge instantly stood up, "You haven't been answering your phone for two or three days, how could I not come?"
"I thought you were still mad at me!"
Qin Jiang shook his head, "No, I'm not."
Xu Muge said, "I went out to eat with Du Hao only to thank him for saving my family, nothing more. Don't be so petty, okay?"
Qin Jiang said indifferently, "These things weren't his doing. If you want to believe his words, it's up to you."
"What do you mean by that?" Xu Muge was a bit irritated, "What kind of attitude is this?"
"I have no particular attitude. You can't even tell who truly cares for you. You don't believe me, but you believe every word from a stranger—that makes me unhappy."
Xu Muge said, "Fine, fine, fine! I believe you, okay?"
Wen Wenling hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Qin Jiang, Muge has personally come to explain things. Stop acting like a child, can't you two talk things out?"
Qin Jiang replied calmly, "Whatever. In any case, I have a clear conscience."
Xu Muge got angry, "I know you have some abilities in Jiangcheng, but the person who resolved this is a big shot from Jinling! Do you know anyone there? Yufei herself said so! I didn't trust Du just for nothing!"
"How about we make a call and verify with Yufei?"
Qin Jiang shook his head, "There's no need."
Since Xu Muge didn't believe him, he might as well let her be. He had grown tired of caring about the matter.
Xu Muge glanced at Qin Jiang, thinking he was acting guilty, and she gave him a way out without being too aggressive.
"Qin Jiang, Chu Tianjiao has said he will personally attend the opening ceremony of the enterprise city."
"Don't confront him face to face—we can't play his game."
"It's best if you take Auntie and Sisi and leave."
Qin Jiang replied calmly, "I know what I'm doing."
"Qin Jiang! Are you so obstinate that you would risk your and your family's lives over a quarrel with me?" Xu Muge bit her red lips.
"I'll take care of him," Qin Jiang said, emphasizing each word.
"You… are being unreasonable!" Xu Muge was really angry, "Then just do as you wish! Qin Jiang, there are levels among the influential, and the people you've met before are the good ones, but Chu Tianjiao is different! He's a madman..."
"Can't you just listen to me and take Auntie and Sisi away from Jiangcheng?"
Qin Jiang said, "I've said it, I will take care of him."
"Three years ago, the hurt she caused you, and three years later, his attack on my family—both have crossed my bottom line. There's no need to persuade me."
"Bottom line..." Xu Muge shook her head and gave a wry smile, "Maybe dignity isn't so important in the face of life..."
With that, she turned and left.
If Qin Jiang was adamant about not leaving, then she would have to find other ways to deal with it.
She couldn't just watch Qin Jiang walk to his death.
She really didn't understand why Qin Jiang was being so stubborn. Did he really think Chu Tianjiao was some kind of saint?
Watching Xu Muge leave, Qin Jiang also sighed.
Next, it was time for him to enter seclusion!
"Chu Tianjiao, just you wait!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He took a deep breath, a cold light flickering in his eyes.
"Mom, I'm going back into seclusion for two more days," Qin Jiang said to Wen Wenling.
Wen Wenling nodded, "My child, no matter what, I will always be by your side to fight together with you. I don't know what's wrong between you and Muge, but we've all seen how she has been towards you and us over the years."
"You two still need to communicate properly to prevent the conflict from escalating."
"Mmm, I understand," Qin Jiang nodded.
He was well aware that the biggest issue between them was because of Du Hao, the troublemaker.
Once he finished his seclusion, when he met that guy, he would make sure the show-off learnt his lesson!
After entering his room, Qin Jiang settled into meditation for a while and then swallowed the Qi Sea Elixir. The powerful medicine instantly spread throughout his limbs and bones...
