Chapter 187 – The Master You Speak of Should Be My Senior Brother Qin Yang, Right?

After work.

The setting sun dipped below the horizon.

The streets were empty and cold, with one man and a fox strolling along the road.

Qin Yang took out his phone, stared at the balance in his account, and silently counted the zeros—

One zero, two zeros, three…

“That rich bastard is really something!”

Qin Yang put away his phone, feeling a deep sense of satisfaction. He had become wealthy overnight and was practically floating as he walked.

Now, his account held a huge sum of money… Qin Yang estimated conservatively…

This money definitely didn’t belong to Xia He alone; it also included public funds from the Star Martial Police Department!

And now, all of it had landed in his pocket!

What can dispel worries?

Only sudden wealth!

“So satisfying, now I can live lavishly!”

Just as Qin Yang was contemplating where to splurge, he suddenly felt a tug on his pants…

“Hey, hey, Master, where are you going!?”

Xiaobai bit Qin Yang’s pant leg, trying hard to pull him to a stop. “If we keep going, we’ll miss the vegetable market! Aren’t we going to buy groceries today?”

“Not today!”

Qin Yang bent down, patted Xiaobai’s head, and gently picked her up in his arms:

“Today, we’re going to eat something good! Let’s go for a feast!”

“A feast?”

“Exactly! Today, whatever you want to eat, your master will grant it!”

“Hmm… Master, when did you become so nice?”

Hearing this, Xiaobai tilted her head, her face full of suspicion. “You’re actually being this generous?”

“Tonight, we’ll have a proper meal together.”

Qin Yang massaged the top of Xiaobai’s head, making her so relaxed her eyes rolled back. “You’ve put in a lot of effort these past few days. Today, you deserve a reward.”

A moment later,

The master and servant headed toward the city center, searching for a suitable restaurant.

Currently, Jianghai was in turmoil.

Finding a safe place wasn’t easy. Qin Yang didn’t want to be enjoying hotpot and singing songs only to suddenly get robbed by a gang of bandits…

After much thought, only the city center, near the Police Inspector headquarters, seemed the safest option!

……………..

Night.

The stars shone brilliantly.

Star Martial Police Department Headquarters.

In the conference room, experts Beyond Innate had gathered. This was a secret meeting, attended only by Lin Mofeng, Elder Li, the Commander… five people in total.

“Thank you all for coming.”

The Commander stood at the head of the table, his hand resting on a cardboard box. “There’s something you need to be aware of.”

“What matter… could only involve the five of us?”

Li Daoming looked around, exchanging puzzled glances with Elder Li and the others. “Why not involve other high-ranking officials in Jianghai?”

“Curator, this matter is of great importance. I don’t trust anyone else!”

The Commander shook his head with a sigh. “Heretical Cultists have infiltrated the citizens, and even high-ranking officials have been compromised. This matter must be handled by you all. I simply can’t trust anyone else.”

As he finished speaking,

The others wore solemn expressions. The Commander’s words had placed a heavy responsibility on their shoulders, entrusting them with immense faith.

“Commander, please speak. I, for one, stand firmly on Jianghai’s side,” Elder Li nodded. “There is absolutely no chance of betrayal.”

After he spoke,

“Thank you for your understanding, Elder Li.”

The Commander breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. “With your assurance, I am at ease… What I’m about to reveal could potentially change the entire situation of Jianghai’s battlefront. We must proceed with caution.”

As he spoke,

He opened the cardboard box.He retrieved an iron cylinder from within. Palm-sized, its outlet densely covered with tiny holes, unremarkable in appearance—it more closely resembled an iron replica of a honeycomb briquette…

But the Commander held this device with a grave expression, solemnly explaining:

“This object is called the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles, a type of hidden weapon. There are no recorded instances of it yet. Like all of you, I’ve only recently seen it for the first time.”

“Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles? What does this thing do?”

Li Daoming raised an eyebrow, propping his chin as he pondered: “It looks… like some kind of mechanical hidden weapon?”

“Exactly! The Curator truly has broad knowledge!”

The Commander nodded earnestly: “This object is profound. Please watch as I demonstrate next.”

As his words fell.

He strode to the door, released Star Power, gradually enveloping the brass doorknob to construct an impenetrable iron curtain, then gestured for everyone to watch closely.

Immediately after.

In the next moment.

Buzz!

Star Power activated the hidden weapon.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Rainstorm pear blossoms flashed before their eyes!

Everyone’s vision blurred, sensing only silver glints flashing before them. Before they could react, when they focused their gaze again—

The brass doorknob had already shattered, densely covered with tiny holes. The Commander’s strike just now had actually penetrated the Star Power protection…

Directly shooting the doorknob into a sieve!!

“How is this possible?!”

Elder Li witnessed this, his white eyebrows shooting up as he immediately stepped forward to inspect, feeling shocked inwardly.

One must know.

Innate Realm Star Power protection is impenetrable!

Even if struck by cannon fire or pierced by heavenly thunder, it could maintain internal integrity.

But now…

These Pear Blossom Needles… actually pierced through like tissue paper?!

If such a divine weapon were deployed in war, it would absolutely alter the entire course of the conflict!

“Commander, where did you obtain this?”

Elder Li examined the brass doorknob, his expression grave as he spoke. The others also turned their gazes toward him.

“This…”

“It wasn’t developed by our Police Inspectorate.”

The Commander shook his head helplessly, smiling wryly: “It was actually discovered thanks to a junior officer. Let me call him in, and you can ask him yourselves.”

……….

A short while later.

Xia He was summoned into the conference room.

His gaze swept across the assembled personnel in the conference room.

His legs began to tremble.

Good heavens!

All were prominent figures of importance—

Elder Li, the Commander, Lin Mofeng… even Li Zixuan was present! He felt like a husky that had wandered into a pack of wolves, completely out of place…

“C-Commander, you asked for me?”

Xia He looked at the Commander, standing at attention while trying to suppress his trembling: “How can I assist you?”

“No need to be nervous. Just explain these Pear Blossom Needles clearly,” the Commander said, holding the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles. “Give everyone a full explanation.”

“Yes, Commander! Th-this was given to me by my master…”

Hearing this, Xia He held his breath, trembling as he repeated the prepared explanation he’d rehearsed earlier. Under the pressure of everyone’s gazes, he was sweating profusely.

When he reached the halfway point.

Li Zixuan’s willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed tightly, her eyes flickering as she remembered Xia He’s identity. She began forming conjectures in her mind, gradually piecing things together.

A short while later.

Xia He wiped his sweat, found an excuse to use the restroom, changed his soaked shirt, and then stepped back out into the corridor.

However.

The moment he exited, he encountered Li Zixuan walking toward him.

“It’s that girl who likes Old Qin! Need to avoid her!”Seeing this, Xia He forced himself to appear calm and gave her a slight nod as they passed each other in the corridor.

However.

Just as they were about to walk away.

A voice transmission from Li Zixuan suddenly reached Xia He’s ears.

“Could it be that your master is my Senior Brother Qin Yang?”

As the words fell.

In the corridor, Xia He stood dumbfounded.

“How did you…”

He almost blurted it out, but upon second thought, something wasn’t right!

“Wait, your Senior Brother? Old Qin?!”
