My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 263: Lin Qingxuan’s Gift

On the stone stele at the base of the mountain, three powerfully etched characters read: "Heavenly God Sect." The girl leaned against the stele, holding a cell phone that showed no signal. Her screensaver was a photo of Yang Qi.

Suddenly, a figure appeared beside her in a flash.

"Miss!"

It was Jian Shu. The girl was none other than Lin Qingxuan.

"Jian Shu, you're finally here!" Lin Qingxuan complained. "This Heavenly God Sect is so annoying. They actually block cell phone signals and don't provide internet. I can't even chat with him! How did it go? Did you find out anything? And has my gift been delivered?"

"The gift has been delivered," Jian Shu said with a smile. "But as for him... well, he's run into some trouble recently. Before I came back, his company was under fierce attack from the Kang City Business Alliance. Even he was targeted in repeated assassination attempts by experts they sent!"

Lin Qingxuan suddenly grew anxious, shivering involuntarily.

"He... he's not hurt, is he?" she asked nervously. "I've heard that the Kang City Business Alliance has experts like Song Yan and the five Independents. Those are all Great Grandmaster-level powerhouses! Why won't that guy listen to me? He should have just used the Jingzhou Lin Family's name to bluff his way through! It might be a bit embarrassing, but any means are justified when you're not strong enough yet!"

"He can't do that anymore," Jian Shu said, shaking his head.

"Why?!" Lin Qingxuan's expression changed abruptly. "It was Grandfather, wasn't it!"

"Correct. The Old Master has spoken," Jian Shu sighed. "Yang Qi has no relationship whatsoever with the Jingzhou Lin Family. The Lin Family will not intervene in any of his affairs. They won't care, even if he dies!"

"I should have known!" Lin Qingxuan said, gritting her teeth. "Fortunately, I left Jianyi and Jian Er behind. They should be able to protect Yang Qi!"

"Jianyi and Jian Er are not protecting him," Jian Shu continued. "He found them himself and has entrusted them with other tasks."

"What?! Why is he like this? Doesn't he know what I'd do if something happened to him?" Lin Qingxuan grew even more anxious.

"Miss, you needn't worry," Jian Shu said with a smile. "Yang Qi is doing far better than you imagine!

"He single-handedly killed the five Independents, eliminating a menace for the people! He also defeated Song Yan, securing a very capable general manager for Qifei Group.

"Later, when faced with an assassination attempt by two experts from Thunder City, Iron Heart and Iron Bone, he not only defeated them but also won them over. Those two are now utterly loyal to him.

"During subsequent assassination attempts by other Thunder City experts—Third Rank Great Grandmaster Pan Hua and Third Rank Great Grandmaster Liang Jin—they made significant contributions, ultimately helping Yang Qi slay the two of them.

"At the Treasure Competition, Yang Qi even defeated Miao Yidao, the left-hand man of the Kang City Alliance Hierarch, in a single move! From what I can tell, his combat power is now at least that of a Third Rank Great Grandmaster! His growth is incredibly fast.

"Meanwhile, Qifei Group has crushed the Kang City Business Alliance's schemes and taken over parts of the Qian, Liang, and Chen families' assets. It has already become one of the top five corporations in Kang City.

"What surprised me most is that Yang Qi has even befriended the War God King, who personally advertised his company's Elixirs.

"I truly underestimated that young man. Your judgment is excellent, Miss. I'm more convinced than ever that he will one day become the most brilliant star in the Dragon Country. It's even possible he'll surpass the War God King and the Dragon King."

"That's wonderful!" Lin Qingxuan was thrilled. "But it's also so surprising! When I left, he could barely fight back against Ning Que and only managed a narrow victory with a few tricks. Back then, Ning Que was only a First Rank Great Grandmaster. Yang Qi is improving too fast! He might really have a chance to defeat the Divine Son!"

"If you had said that before, Miss, I'm afraid I wouldn't have believed it. But now, I do," Jian Shu said with a nod.

"Still, Kang City is just a small place. He has many more trials ahead of him. I hope my gift encourages him to strive even harder... I miss him so much."

Lin Qingxuan was keenly aware of how far apart she and Yang Qi still were. Even if he made it to Jingzhou, that would only be the beginning. It was still too early. Even so, she had faith in the man she had chosen. She had given herself to him, believing that one day he would come for her, riding a crane, to take her away and marry her.

"Right now, Kang City really only has one tough nut left to crack: the Kang City Alliance Hierarch," Jian Shu said. "Rumor has it he's a Fourth Rank Great Grandmaster. It's rare for a small place like Kang City to have such a powerful figure. I just don't know if Yang Qi can crack that nut. Once he does, he'll also attract the attention of powerful figures from Thunder City. It's a chain reaction. Once he's caught up in it, it will be very difficult for him to get out."

"Jian Shu, do me a favor," Lin Qingxuan pleaded. "You must protect his life. If he dies, I won't live either!"

"I will," Jian Shu affirmed with a nod.

"Thank you." Lin Qingxuan bowed deeply to Jian Shu.

As the Provincial City of Jingnan Prefecture, the waters of Thunder City ran far deeper than those of Kang City. As Yang Qi continued to rise, he was bound to attract attention. The Kang City Alliance Hierarch was said to be the agent of a powerful figure in the Provincial City. If Yang Qi dealt with the Alliance Hierarch, things would become even more troublesome.

Around that time, Yang Qi had just finished his second acupuncture session with the War God King and returned home. Iron Heart handed him a letter. The envelope bore only two words: "Jingzhou."

Like a gleeful child, Yang Qi clutched the letter and bounced back to his room. Opening the envelope, he found it filled with photos of Lin Qingxuan.

Looking at the photos, his heart grew more restless but also more resolute. A graceful and virtuous lady was waiting for him from afar. He absolutely could not let her down.

Just then, Ye Fei called. "Little Qi, Qianqian went out to eat with her friends. That silly girl left in such a rush that she forgot her money and even her phone. Could you please do me a favor and take it to her?"

"No problem!" Yang Qi was in a great mood. Besides, he thought of Ye Qianqian as his own little sister, and he couldn't let her be embarrassed.

「Meanwhile, at the Fan Family estate.」

Fan Shengren roared with laughter. "HAHAHA! Heaven is truly on my side! The Kang City Business Alliance has basically collapsed. From now on, Kang City belongs to the Fan Family! Intensify the offensive immediately! Launch an assault on the Kang City Business Alliance!"

He was in an excellent mood. The Kang City Business Alliance had been his old rival for years. To think they had been brought to the brink of collapse by a series of disastrous decisions was truly pathetic, but it was exactly what he wanted.

"Grandfather, Yin Tongfan from the Peninsula Tiger Country's Tongfan Company is asking to see you," Fan Ruobing said, putting down her phone. "We still have some business dealings with them. Will you meet with him?"
