Unaware of the discussions about him within the Miaobao Pavilion, Qin Yi slept soundly until dawn after Gong Xuan left.
When he woke up, it was already past eleven in the morning.
After washing up, Qin Yi headed to the Han Corporation to find Han Xin. He hadn't seen her for several days due to various reasons.
As expected, when Qin Yi arrived at Han Xin's office, she glanced at him but then immediately looked away, ignoring him.
"Xin Xin, why aren't you talking to me?" Qin Yi approached, rubbing his hands. "You haven't seen me for so many days, don't you miss me?"
"Hmph!" Han Xin snorted, still refusing to acknowledge him.
Seeing this, Qin Yi's eyes darted, a sly smile pulling at his lips as he leaned in towards her.
"What are you doing???" Han Xin, sitting in her chair, quickly slid back, evading his approach.
"I thought you were really not going to speak!" Qin Yi revealed a victorious smile.
Han Xin rolled her eyes and finally addressed him, no longer ignoring him. "Qin Yi, shouldn't you explain to me about your two senior sisters?"
Qin Yi knew that Qin Lei would have told Han Xin about Lan Baizhi and Ren Shuman. He inwardly cursed Qin Lei as a traitor but quickly replied aloud, "They are just my senior sisters, what else could it be!"
"Is that so?" Han Xin questioned. "Then why have you never told me before that you have two senior sisters, and such beautiful ones at that?"
"I..." Qin Yi said helplessly, "Before this, I didn't even know I had two senior sisters!"
Han Xin looked at him with a mix of disbelief. In response, Qin Yi raised his right hand and declared, "I swear to heaven, I truly didn't know I had two senior sisters before!"
Seeing his earnestness and that he wasn't joking, Han Xin finally shifted her gaze from his face. She asked, "Where are your two senior sisters now? Aren't you going to introduce me to them?"
"They've already left, and I don't know where they went!"
"If they aren't your senior sisters, how would you know where they went?" The suspicion that had just faded from Han Xin's face reappeared.
"I really don't know, they're not ordinary people, they're very mysterious!" Qin Yi felt that Lan Baizhi, Ren Shuman, and the old madman were all enigmatic. It was extremely difficult to find out anything about them.
Sensing Qin Yi's exasperation, Han Xin stopped asking. In truth, she wasn't genuinely angry or jealous when she'd ignored Qin Yi and questioned him about Lan Baizhi and Ren Shuman! She was merely a little upset, as Qin Yi hadn't visited her for so many days!
"Xin Xin, don't be angry. I brought you a gift today, and you'll definitely like it!" Qin Yi pulled a red pill from his pocket and offered it to Han Xin.
Han Xin looked at it, puzzled. "What is this?"
Qin Yi replied, "Xiao Huan Dan!"
"???" Han Xin's face was filled with question marks; she clearly didn't understand the meaning of Xiao Huan Dan.
Qin Yi didn't rush to explain. He simply said, "Xin Xin, don't worry about it for now. Take it and see how you feel!"
Han Xin took the Xiao Huan Dan, examined it, and sniffed it before taking it. Qin Yi remarked, "What's wrong, Xin Xin? You don't trust me? Afraid it's some kind of bad medicine?" He added, "Don't worry, if I wanted to drug you, I'd tell you directly, not do it secretly!"
Hearing this, Han Xin shot him an exasperated look and popped the Xiao Huan Dan into her mouth. To her surprise, as soon as the pill entered her mouth, it dissolved before she could even taste it!
In the next moment, she felt a warm current surge within her body, rapidly circulating. Soon, she detected a faint fragrance.
Qin Yi, standing beside her, also smelled it. His eyes widened in astonishment as he stared at Han Xin.
The Xiao Huan Dan, besides rapidly restoring a cultivator's true qi and enhancing their cultivation to a certain extent, had another crucial function for ordinary people: it cleansed the marrow and purged impurities from the body!
Han Xin was an ordinary person. This was her first time taking the Xiao Huan Dan. Normally, it would cleanse her marrow and expel impurities from her body. Qin Yi clearly saw sweat beading on Han Xin's skin after she consumed the pill. The office was at a comfortable temperature, neither hot nor cold, yet Han Xin was sweating profusely, indicating the Xiao Huan Dan was working to expel impurities.
However, what Qin Yi couldn't have imagined was that while impurities from other people's bodies were often foul-smelling and disgusting, Han Xin's... were fragrant! As time passed and the Xiao Huan Dan fully took effect, Han Xin sweated more and more, her inner clothing becoming drenched. The entire office was filled with a pleasant aroma, even more delightful than perfume!
"What's going on..." Han Xin, noticing her drenched state, stood up from her chair, bewildered. "Why am I sweating so much???"
Before Qin Yi could respond, feeling uncomfortable from being completely soaked, she hurried into the adjoining bathroom to wash up. Fortunately, Han Xin's office was very well-equipped!
As Han Xin entered the bathroom, Qin Yi remained standing there, his face etched with shock. Fragrant impurities... it was unbelievable! He involuntarily took a few deep breaths.
"Qin Yi, Qin Yi..." A moment later, Han Xin's voice from the bathroom snapped Qin Yi back to reality.
"What is it???" he responded.
"Uh, I forgot to bring clothes. Qin Yi, could you please get them for me!" Han Xin said somewhat sheepishly.
"Okay, where are your clothes?" Qin Yi agreed without thinking.
"They're in the closet in my bedroom inside..." Han Xin continued, "Bring me an inner garment and an outer layer, I don't have any in here!"
"Alright, wait a moment." Qin Yi entered the inner bedroom. Following her instructions, he went in and opened the closet door.
When he saw the colorful array of clothes hanging inside, Qin Yi almost spat out a mouthful of blood... He suppressed his peculiar emotions and asked, "You have so many clothes in here, which one do you want?"
