315: Chapter 315 Qin Yi's Another Friendship Across Ages (Part 2)

At this moment, Qin Yi watched Zhao Ying's receding figure, the corners of his mouth curling up unconsciously. He quickly submerged his consciousness into his Sea of Consciousness and commanded the System, "System, draw a prize immediately!"

As soon as he spoke, a brilliant lottery wheel suddenly appeared within his Sea of Consciousness, spinning rapidly with a dazzling light.

Before long, accompanied by a 'ding' from the System notification, the lottery wheel slowed to a stop, and the pointer landed steadily on a reward slot.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host! In this draw, you have obtained a random six-dimensional attribute enhancement card. It has been placed in the System Space. Please check it!]

Qin Yi was overjoyed, his eyes lighting up. 'A random six-dimensional attribute enhancement card?' This seemed to be the first time he had drawn one.

Without hesitation, Qin Yi ordered the System, "System, use the random six-dimensional attribute enhancement card immediately!"

Following that, the System notification rang out again. Qin Yi felt a warm current flow into his heart, and his spirit was instantly refreshed.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host! You have successfully consumed one random six-dimensional attribute enhancement card. You have gained Mental Energy +8 and Charm +2!]

"Whoa..." Qin Yi's eyes widened in disbelief.

He had originally just wanted to give it a try, thinking that a random attribute card would be good if it added one or two points. He hadn't expected it to add so much at once.

However, his mind was so affected by this unexpected reward that his consciousness withdrew from his Sea of Consciousness. He looked into the distance, but Zhao Ying was already long gone.

Qin Yi couldn't help but mutter to himself, "That Junior sister really is my lucky star. I'll have to find a chance to repay her properly."

Just as Qin Yi was about to check his six-dimensional attributes again, his phone suddenly rang.

Qin Yi picked up his phone and saw it was a call from Master Ma. He answered immediately, his tone warm. "Hey, Master Ma, have you arrived?"

"Yes, we're here. We just parked the car and are walking toward the School of Economics," Supervisor Ma responded heartily on the other end.

Hearing this, Qin Yi turned around and looked toward the parking lot. His gaze swept through the crowd, and he quickly noticed Master Ma's figure.

"I see you. I'm coming over now." As he spoke, Qin Yi raised his other arm and waved vigorously at the two of them.

Supervisor Ma also saw Qin Yi then. He waved with a smile and hung up the phone. Then, he turned slightly, pointed at Qin Yi who was approaching them, and introduced him to the middle-aged man beside him. "Old Chen, that young man coming our way is the Qin Yi I told you about."

The middle-aged man beside Supervisor Ma was indeed Professor Chen Qingjun.

Professor Chen Qingjun looked in the direction Supervisor Ma was pointing. His gaze landed on Qin Yi, and a hint of curiosity and scrutiny flashed in his eyes.

Although to an outsider, Qin Yi only seemed slightly faster and more agile than others, only someone who truly understood kung fu could tell at a glance that this young man definitely had some real skill.

After about five or six breaths of time, Qin Yi arrived before the two men.

Qin Yi enthusiastically extended his hand, shook Supervisor Ma's, and exchanged pleasantries. "Haha, Master Ma, I haven't seen you for a few days, and your complexion is looking more radiant than ever."

Supervisor Ma burst into laughter, patted Qin Yi on the shoulder, and replied, "Little friend Qin, you're joking. What changes could there be in these old bones of mine? However, I see that you are a bit different. You seem even more handsome and spirited than the day we first met!"

Qin Yi shook his head with a smile and said modestly, "Master Ma, you flatter me. Your praise is making me feel embarrassed." As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Professor Chen Qingjun. With eyes full of respect, he proactively extended his hand and said politely, "This must be Professor Chen, right? I've heard much about you. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Looking at Qin Yi's extended hand, Professor Chen Qingjun felt inclined to test Qin Yi's strength. So, he smiled and reached out, but at the moment their hands met, he quietly applied some force, while saying with a relaxed smile, "I heard from Old Ma that you are also a Martial Artist. I wonder who your master is?"

The moment their palms met, Qin Yi felt a surge of force pouring in. However, while this force was strong, it wasn't fast. He could tell that Professor Chen Qingjun was only testing his mettle and didn't truly intend to make things difficult for him.

Consequently, Qin Yi's own strength increased by a few degrees, pushing back the force Professor Chen Qingjun had sent into his palm.

Qin Yi's expression remained unchanged as he responded humbly, "Haha, Professor Chen, you're joking. I don't have a master. It's purely a hobby; I just figured things out and practiced on my own."

Feeling the response from Qin Yi's palm, Professor Chen Qingjun couldn't help but inwardly praise him. With a slight smile, he looked at Qin Yi and continued, "You are too modest. To have such strength at such a young age, how could it come from just blind practice? If it's convenient for you, how about we find an open space and spar a bit? I'd like to see your true skills."

Hearing that Professor Chen Qingjun wanted to spar with Qin Yi right off the bat, Supervisor Ma, who had been watching them with a smile, quickly interjected, "Hey, Old Chen, what are you doing? You've barely said two words and already want to spar with little friend Qin. This isn't quite right, is it?"

Qin Yi was also very curious about Professor Chen Qingjun's strength. His heart stirred, and he decided to take the opportunity to scout him first.

Thus, in the gap while Supervisor Ma was speaking, Qin Yi immediately and quietly issued a command to the System: "System, activate Eye of Truth!"

As the System notification rang in his Sea of Consciousness, the Eye of Truth was activated.

Immediately after, on the light screen before Qin Yi's eyes, Professor Chen Qingjun's attribute panel was clearly displayed.

[Name: Chen Qingjun]

[Gender: Male]

[Identity: Expert in Criminal Psychology, Professor at Modu Public Security University, PhD Supervisor]

[Age: 62]

[Realm: Late-stage Anjin]

[Cultivation Technique: Chen Style Tai Chi (Major Achievement), Tai Chi Sword (Major Achievement)]

[Favorability: 30]

[opposite-sex intimacy value: 1]

Qin Yi stared at Professor Chen Qingjun's attribute panel, his heart jolting. He muttered to himself, "Holy crap, a Late-stage Anjin big shot actually wants to spar with a small fry like me? You've got to be kidding!" Realizing the massive disparity in strength between himself and Professor Chen Qingjun, Qin Yi immediately withdrew the force from his hand.

Professor Chen Qingjun keenly sensed the change in Qin Yi and also withdrew his force. With a warm smile still on his face, he replied, "Old Ma, you don't understand. Sparring between Martial Artists is a process of mutual learning and progress. Right, little friend Qin?"

Qin Yi smiled bitterly in his heart and responded respectfully, "Professor Chen, you're overestimating this Junior. For me to show off my meager skills in front of you, wouldn't that be like trying to teach a fish how to swim? I'd only make a fool of myself."

After the test just now, Professor Chen Qingjun also had a rough idea of Qin Yi's strength—the Mingjin Stage. However, his strength was not small; he just didn't know which school or sect he belonged to. Since it was rare to encounter a young man who knew kung fu nowadays, Professor Chen Qingjun was still very much looking forward to it.

So, he laughed and patted the back of Qin Yi's hand, saying, "You're too modest. Could it be that you don't want to trade a few moves with this old man?"

Seeing that Professor Chen Qingjun had put it that way, Qin Yi couldn't continue to refuse. He quickly replied, "Oh, how could that be? To receive guidance from Professor Chen is something this Junior could only dream of. Well, how about we go to the playground over there? It's spacious and there aren't many people."

"Sure. Let's go," Professor Chen Qingjun said, and he started walking toward the playground with Qin Yi.

Just then, from not far away, a clear and beautiful female voice suddenly rang out: "Qin Yi!"

Hearing this, Qin Yi paused and instinctively looked toward the sound. He saw Shen Jianan and Ye Qingcheng walking quickly toward him.

Supervisor Ma followed the sound and looked at the newcomers. When his gaze fell on the uniforms the two women were wearing, his eyes narrowed slightly. He asked Qin Yi with a hint of concern in his voice, "Little friend Qin, have you gotten yourself into some kind of trouble?"

Qin Yi was momentarily stunned. After noticing the clothing of Shen Jianan and the other woman, he suddenly understood. He quickly laughed and explained, "Cough, Master Ma, you've misunderstood. Those two are my friends. However, they aren't here to see me today; they're here to see Professor Chen." As he spoke, Qin Yi looked at Professor Chen Qingjun, who was standing side-by-side with Supervisor Ma.

Supervisor Ma's gaze also moved to Professor Chen Qingjun as he asked curiously, "Old Chen, are those two girls here for you?"

Professor Chen Qingjun looked at the two women's heroic and spirited appearance and figured it must be Shen Zhendong's daughter coming to find him. He just didn't know what relationship these two had with the Qin Yi before him. So, Professor Chen Qingjun temporarily suppressed the doubt in his heart, nodded with a smile, and replied, "Since little friend Qin said so, then they likely are."

While the three were talking, Shen Jianan and Ye Qingcheng had already arrived in front of them.

Before either could speak, Professor Chen Qingjun looked at Shen Jianan with a kind face and said with a smile, "This officer looks familiar. You must be Shen Zhendong's daughter, right?"

Shen Jianan looked at the person speaking. After confirming she had no recollection of him, she asked back in confusion, "And you are?"

Qin Yi quickly added from the side, "Officer Shen, weren't you looking for Professor Chen? This is Professor Chen Qingjun."

Upon hearing that the person before her was Professor Chen Qingjun, Shen Jianan immediately straightened her posture and gave a respectful salute. Then, she extended her hand and introduced herself enthusiastically, "Hello, Professor Chen. I am Shen Jianan. It is an honor to meet you."

Professor Chen Qingjun smiled and shook her hand, responding, "There's no need to be so formal. I've known your father for many years, and we've solved some cases together. I've also heard him mention you. I didn't expect you to have joined the Security Bureau. You have a bright future ahead of you; perhaps your achievements will even far surpass your father's."

Being praised so much by Professor Chen, Shen Jianan was overjoyed. Forcing down the corners of her mouth that were about to curl up uncontrollably, she said modestly, "Professor Chen, you flatter me."

Subsequently, Professor Chen Qingjun's gaze moved to Ye Qingcheng. Seeing that this woman had an extraordinary temperament and a posture that looked like someone from the military, he immediately felt a bit of interest.

At this point, Shen Jianan introduced her from the side, "Professor Chen, let me introduce you. This is the captain of our Security Bureau's Special Operations Team."

Although Ye Qingcheng didn't know Professor Chen, he was an elder after all. Like Shen Jianan, she gave a salute and proactively extended her hand to shake his. "Hello, Professor Chen. I am Ye Qingcheng. It is a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to assist our Security Bureau."

Hearing this name, Professor Chen Qingjun's hand, which was shaking Ye Qingcheng's, paused slightly. His gaze toward Ye Qingcheng also became solemn as he asked very seriously, "Captain Ye, excuse me, but may I ask if you are from the Capital? Have you ever served in the military?"

Ye Qingcheng nodded and replied, "I won't hide it from you, Professor Chen. I am indeed from the Capital, and I have served in the military."

"Oh? Then are you related to Elder Ye of the Ye Family of the Capital?" Professor Chen Qingjun pressed further, a flash of expectation in his eyes.

"I am," Ye Qingcheng answered.

Immediately, Professor Chen Qingjun's tone became warm. "So you're Elder Ye's granddaughter! I've always heard your name. They say Elder Ye raised a Prodigy, but it's a pity I never got to meet you. I didn't expect to have the honor of seeing you in person today. It's truly the honor of a lifetime!"

As the granddaughter of the Ye Family of the Capital, Ye Qingcheng was long used to such compliments. However, facing a professor with such genuine talent and learning, she still modestly waved her hand and said, "Professor Chen, I don't deserve such praise from you." As she spoke, she asked curiously, "Are you also an old acquaintance of my grandfather?"

"I wouldn't dare say that. I've always admired Elder Ye; he is a hero of our Dragon Country. I've only been fortunate enough to meet him a few times. Later, I heard from Old Shen that he had even served under Elder Ye, which I envied greatly. I wonder, is Elder Ye's health still good?" Professor Chen Qingjun asked with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, Professor Chen. Grandfather's health is quite good," Ye Qingcheng replied.

"That's good to hear. Oh, right, Old Shen has already briefly told me about your matter. However, little friend Qin and I have something to handle right now, so I'll have to ask you to wait a moment." As he spoke, Professor Chen Qingjun turned back to Qin Yi, his tone carrying a bit of urgency and expectation. "Little friend Qin, there's no time like the present. How about we just trade a few moves right here?"

"Uh, here? With so many people around, it might not be good, right?" Qin Yi looked at the contrast in Professor Chen's attitude and couldn't help but chuckle bitterly.

Hearing that Professor Chen Qingjun wanted to spar with Qin Yi, Ye Qingcheng's eyes instantly lit up. She quietly and carefully sized up Professor Chen Qingjun again, a flash of surprise in her eyes. Her attention had been entirely on Qin Yi just now, and she hadn't noticed that the Aura emanating from this Professor Chen indicated he was actually an Anjin Stage expert.

So, Ye Qingcheng smiled and chimed in, "I didn't expect you to be a Martial Artist as well, Professor Chen. Speaking of which, Young Master Qin's skills are indeed quite good. To tell you the truth, just last night, Young Master Qin saved both our lives."

"Oh? Such a thing happened?" Professor Chen Qingjun asked curiously.

"Yes. Last night, our Special Operations Department was on a mission, and the target was a Peak Anjin expert. If Young Master Qin hadn't appeared in time, we likely would have been in grave danger. If you want to spar with him, Professor Chen, you really should be careful."

Originally, Professor Chen Qingjun's interest in the spar had begun to wane. When they shook hands earlier, although he felt Qin Yi's strength wasn't small and could resist his own force, he had judged Qin Yi to only be at the Mingjin Stage.

However, hearing Ye Qingcheng's words now, a flash of fire appeared in Professor Chen Qingjun's eyes, and his cooled enthusiasm was instantly reignited. He stared at Qin Yi with glowing eyes and asked with a hint of urgency in his tone, "Little friend Qin, is what Captain Ye said true?"

Hearing this, Qin Yi raised an eyebrow and shot a sideways glance at Ye Qingcheng, muttering to himself, "Ye Qingcheng, you... what's the meaning of this? Don't you know how dangerous the situation was last night?"

Ye Qingcheng, however, looked triumphant, smiling at Qin Yi with an expression that clearly said, "Hehe, the show is about to start, and I'm waiting to watch!"

Helpless, Qin Yi could only smile bitterly at Professor Chen Qingjun and say, "Professor Chen, Captain Ye is overpraising me. I only have the strength of the Middle Stage of Ming Jin, how could I possibly be a match for a Peak Anjin expert?"

"Eh, little friend Qin, hearing something is unreliable, but seeing is believing," Professor Chen Qingjun waved his hand, his eyes flashing with Battle Intent. "Could it be that you look down on this old man? You must not hold back today. To be honest, although I lack practical experience, I am at least at the Late-stage Anjin. When we start later, you must not hide your strength."

Without waiting for Qin Yi's response, Professor Chen Qingjun placed his hand on Qin Yi's wrist and led him quickly toward the playground.

Behind them, Supervisor Ma, Shen Jianan, and Ye Qingcheng looked at each other and smiled before quickly following.
