Chapter 235 – Surveillance From the Star Martial Police, Ambushed on All Sides?

Qin Yang briefly explained his insights on comprehending the laws and some precautions.

Only then did Li Zixuan leave the office satisfied.

Outside the door, Xia He saw Li Zixuan depart.

Watching the graceful figure recede down the long corridor, his expression was complex. He opened his mouth as if to say something.

But stopped himself.

In the end, he could only turn to Qin Yang.

And gave a thumbs up!

“Old Qin, you’re amazing! Your efficiency is really something. I just told you to find a girl the day before yesterday, and today you’re already making moves. You’re really something else!”

“……”

Qin Yang chuckled wryly, “What am I amazing at? It’s not what you think.”

“Then what is it? Don’t try to fool me, buddy!”

Xia He winked and teased, “I just talked to you about finding a partner the day before yesterday, and then you made your move. What more is there to say?

I told you that Miss Li was quite something, didn’t I? I never thought you’d be so receptive to advice, Old Qin!”

As he spoke.

Xia He patted Qin Yang’s shoulder, looking quite pleased. “When everything works out, it’ll be my turn to attend your wedding banquet.”

“Get lost, stop talking nonsense. If you keep spouting bullshit—”

Qin Yang laughed and scolded, “I didn’t call you here to see this.”

“Huh? You didn’t call me here for this?” Xia He was stunned, scratching his head in confusion. “I thought you were showing off your achievements.”

“That was just a coincidence, don’t misunderstand… What I prepared for you is this—”

Qin Yang took out the Marrow Cleansing Pill and tossed it to Xia He. “I refined this when I had some free time. Find a place to take it when you get back. Given your talent…”

At this point, Qin Yang paused, sizing up Xia He’s physique.

“You shouldn’t have any problem breaking through to the Innate Realm later. Consider it my wedding gift to you.”

“Holy shit!”

Xia He’s pupils dilated in shock. He fumbled to catch the pill, his entire body trembling with excitement!

“Are you serious, Old Qin?”

A pill capable of breaking through to the Innate Realm.

Its significance went without saying!

After all.

There were only a handful of Innate Realm experts in Jianghai nowadays. If he truly became an Innate expert, his future would be truly limitless.

“Old Qin, isn’t this gift too valuable?”

“Maybe you should name a price?”

Xia He held the Marrow Cleansing Pill hesitantly. “Otherwise, I won’t feel right about it. Freeloading like this doesn’t sit well with me…”

“No need,”

Qin Yang shook his head and sighed. “Since you invited me to your wedding banquet, that’s enough. Why bother calculating so much about other things?”

Since crossing over.

Xia He was the only close friend he had.

Since he was getting married, it was only reasonable for him to be generous.

After he finished speaking.

“Old Qin, I…”

Xia He held the Marrow Cleansing Pill, his heart at ease. Suddenly, he began to understand why Li Zixuan had taken a liking to Old Qin…

Not to mention his character and qualities, his transcendent appearance, and that little bit of mystical ability… It wasn’t just a young girl like her—even he felt a little tempted!

This brother was truly something else!!

“Actually, Old Qin, we don’t have to be so strict about gender.”

Xia He put away the Marrow Cleansing Pill and teased with a grin, “What do you think of me, buddy? We’ve known each other for so long. Surely you must feel at least a little…”

“……”

Qin Yang’s face darkened.

He kicked Xia He out of the office.

“Get lost!!!”

…

…

Time passed slowly.

Evening.

Star Martial Police Department.Teams of police officers patrolled the nearby streets, armored vehicles lined up in front of the building, and the offices on the upper floors were lit.

“Monitor Qin Yang?”

The Commander stood before his desk, holding a brief paper message, his brow furrowed as he stared at the information in disbelief.

Just half an hour ago.

An urgent secret message had suddenly arrived from the Imperial Capital.

It listed Qin Yang as a high-risk target of the highest level, requiring 24-hour surveillance and close attention to his network of relationships.

There must be absolutely no mistakes!

“But why…?”

The Commander pondered, feeling deeply perplexed.

After all.

To the outside world, Qin Yang appeared to be nothing more than an ordinary administrator.

Why go to such lengths to monitor a civilian?

“Is it because of what happened last time?”

The Commander memorized the secret message word for word, then burned it to ashes and sat back in his office chair.

He hesitated internally.

In the past, he would have carried out the order without question, but after the incident with Liu Wushuang’s challenge, he had begun to doubt the Supreme Alliance, no longer trusting it as blindly as he once had.

If it weren’t for the information he had leaked back then…

How would news about Qin Yang have gotten out?

Why would the Arrow God have fallen into the trap of the Heretical Cultists and met his end?

“Qin Yang is the Arrow God’s junior disciple,”

“Senior, I have failed you.”

The Commander lit a cigarette and slowly walked to the window, gazing out at the nightscape in the distance.

The mistake he had made before had already cost him dearly, and if given the choice now, he would not repeat it.

But the problem was.

The Imperial Capital’s orders were difficult to defy, and he had to find a suitable person to take part in the surveillance mission.

“Only a compromise will do.”

The Commander reviewed the order and thought for a moment.

If he couldn’t refuse, then he might as well send that kid Xia He.

He then opened his phone’s contact list.

…

…

Night.

Fuhai District.

Qin Yang sat cross-legged on the balcony, carefully contemplating the Law Power.

With each breath, the flow of Dao essence circulated.

After a while.

He seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up at the sky.

The night sky was brilliant with starlight, but nine holes resembled unfathomable Black Holes, swallowing all starlight, their edges collapsing and closing.

“Huh, why have they shrunk again?”

Qin Yang looked up at the vast, boundless sky, alone as he stared into those dark voids.

Star energy leaked down from these holes.

It nourished all things, driving the flow of all laws, and was the foundation upon which every Star Warrior relied for survival.

But if these holes were to close…

Wouldn’t the world lose its source of star energy?

By then…

Could Star Warriors even continue to exist?

…

Elsewhere.

On the street, crowds surged.

Xia He walked along the roadside, holding the Marrow Cleansing Pill in his hand, pondering where to take it.

But just as he was feeling joyful.

A phone message came through.

“Tsk, can’t even have peace after work.”

Xia He took out his phone and saw that it was a call from the Commander. He quickly put it to his ear, “Hey, Father-in—ahem, Sir, what is it?”

“Where are you now?”

The Commander’s voice on the other end was hushed.

“Where am I? I’m…”

Xia He glanced around, about to answer, but his heart suddenly turned cold.

Is Father-in-law checking up on me?

Investigating me before I’m even married—isn’t this pushing it too far?

But wait!Since I’m not at Platinum Ocean myself, why panic!

“Sir, rest assured, I’m currently in Longjing District, planning to buy some gifts for Yao Yao. It’s almost…” Xia He chattered on, but before he could finish, the Commander interrupted directly:

“Enough, I don’t have time to discuss these matters with you. There’s a mission requiring your involvement, giving you advance notice to mentally prepare yourself.”

The Commander got straight to the point: “The target is high-risk.”

“High-risk target?”

Hearing this, Xia He’s expression turned grave, immediately straightening his posture as he responded, “Received, sir! Please proceed, I guarantee mission completion.”

As his words fell, what seemed like a helpless sigh came from the other end of the phone.

“By superior orders, I’ve decided to assign you to lead the team in monitoring Qin Yang’s every move… He has now been placed on the high-risk list.”

The Commander said solemnly: “Make your own arrangements.”

With these words.

After giving instructions without waiting for Xia He’s response, the Commander directly hung up the phone.

Beep—

Phone busy tone.

“???”

Xia He stood frozen in place, his hand holding the phone trembling as he listened to the busy tone, then lowered his gaze to look at the Marrow Cleansing Pill in his other hand.

The corner of his mouth twitched.

Around him, the noise of traffic interwove noisily.

He felt completely bewildered…

“Have me monitor Qin Yang?”

What nonsense is this?

Even if the entire Police Inspector department joined forces, they wouldn’t be enough for him to fight!!

…

…

Next day, early morning.

Jianghai Library.

Qin Yang held a fried dough stick in his left hand and soy milk in his right as he passed through the library’s main entrance, with Xiaobai following behind, taking small quick steps while craning her neck to look around.

Just like clocking in as usual.

“Manager, good morning.”

“Hmm!”

People came and went along the way, with employees constantly greeting him. Qin Yang, chewing on his fried dough stick, cheerfully returned everyone’s greetings in good spirits.

Suddenly he felt a tug at his foot.

“Master, do you sense it?”

Little Fox walked quietly behind Qin Yang with small steps, secretly transmitting her voice: “Something feels off about the surroundings today, it seems…”

As she spoke, she slightly narrowed her eyes, glancing sideways at the vicinity, her tone cold:

“Seems like quite a few bugs have flown near us today, should we…”

While speaking.

A faint, almost imperceptible killing intent spread.

“Hmm…”

Qin Yang nibbled on his fried dough stick, smiling meaninglessly: “No rush.”

From the moment he entered, he had already detected their presence.

Based on the feedback from his spiritual sense.

There were quite a few people nearby.

Elderly, children, men and women… using various concealment techniques, secretly hiding among the crowd. While they seemed well-hidden, to him they were completely exposed.

“Three in the southwest, and two in the east…”

Qin Yang mentally counted the numbers while yawning.

His vast spiritual power expanded and spread until it enveloped everyone within several miles of the library in his consciousness.

Noisy human voices interwove, accompanied by low discussions.

“Oh… and two more pretending to be customers mixed into the library?”

Qin Yang chewed his fried dough stick, not particularly concerned.

“Master, let your servant handle this?”

At this moment, Xiaobai bared her sharp teeth, her fox tail wagging cheerfully,

“With just one strike from this Fairy, I’ll directly show them what…”

“A! King! Level! Star! Beast! means!”

“No rush, let’s play with them first.”

Qin Yang calmly reassured with a faint smile, maintaining his pace as he leisurely headed toward his office.If these surveillance operatives were merely followers of the Beast God Sect, that would be one thing.

He could easily eliminate them all without leaving a trace.

But the problem was…

Among those conducting surveillance, he recognized several familiar faces.

They were police inspectors working under Xia He.

Why would the Star Martial Police Department be monitoring him?

Just then.

Ding!

A message arrived on his phone.

Qin Yang took out his phone and looked.

It was a message from Xia He.

[Old Qin, what trouble have you gotten into this time!? I’ve received orders to surveil you.]

[Right now, you’re completely surrounded by our police inspectors!]
