The woman with curly hair was so scared by Qin Yi's ferocity that she stood frozen, too afraid to move.
"Let's go!"
Qin Yi pulled Han Xin out of the hair salon.
This time, no one tried to stop them.
The curly-haired woman was stunned, and the two male hairdressers were too weak to stand. Who would dare to stop them now?
After leaving the salon, Han Xin was still furious. Qin Yi comforted her for a while before she slowly calmed down.
"By the way, Qin Yi, didn't you go to the Wu family? Why are you back so soon?" Han Xin then asked.
"Don't mention it..." Qin Yi waved his hand, looking quite dejected.
"What happened? Did something go wrong?" Han Xin asked, surprised.
Qin Yi decided not to hide anything from her and told her about what had happened at the Wu family's residence.
After listening, Han Xin felt indignant on Qin Yi's behalf, deeming the Wu family unjust and ungrateful!
"Never mind, it's in the past. Let's not talk about it!" Qin Yi didn't want to dwell on unpleasant matters that would affect his mood. He changed the subject, "It's still early, where do you want to go?"
"Hmm... let me see." Han Xin took out her phone and searched for fun places around Taiwan Island.
After a while, she settled on a destination, and the two wasted no time in heading there.
They played until nightfall and returned to the hotel.
Unexpectedly, as Qin Yi and Han Xin stepped into the hotel lobby, a woman in white with a veil over her face approached them.
"Qin Yi!"
There was no doubt it was Wu Yao.
Qin Yi asked in surprise, "What are you doing here again?"
Wu Yao: "Can we talk..."
But she didn't finish her sentence. Han Xin coldly interjected, "Talk about what? Qin Yi saved you, and instead of being grateful, your family suspected him of being the murderer! Now you come looking for him again, what do you want?"
Having learned about Qin Yi's ordeal at the Wu family today, Han Xin no longer had a good impression of Wu Yao.
Wu Yao was taken aback by Han Xin's confrontation. However, she didn't get angry. Instead, she said softly, "I'm sorry!"
"Hmph." Han Xin snorted coldly and turned her head away, falling silent.
Wu Yao made no attempt to avoid Han Xin this time and addressed Qin Yi directly, "Qin Yi, you said you could set up formations. My father wants to invite you to his home for an exchange and discussion..."
However, before she could finish, Qin Yi interrupted with a laugh, "I went to your house this morning, and your family suspected me of being the murderer and even attacked me! Now you want me to come back? Are you playing with me?"
"If you're not bothered, I am!" With that, he ignored her, took Han Xin's hand, and walked past her towards their room.
It was late at night, and going to the Wu family again felt less appealing than returning to their room to enjoy their time together. After all, he and Han Xin had agreed earlier that afternoon while they were out that they would take their relationship to the next level tonight. For this, Qin Yi had already envisioned many scenarios in his mind.
"My father is a formation master. The spiritual gathering formation outside the city and most of the formations on our island were set up by him!" Wu Yao continued. "If you also understand formations, you might gain something by discussing with my father!"
Qin Yi's steps faltered. Han Xin stopped with him.
Seeing this, Wu Yao seized the opportunity. "Furthermore, our Wu family has many materials for setting up formations. If you need any, I can talk to my father and ask him to give you some!"
A glint appeared in Qin Yi's eyes. He turned back to Wu Yao and said, "Did you mean that!"
"I did!" Wu Yao nodded.
"Alright, I'll go with you one more time!" Qin Yi agreed. The primary reason was his desire for formation materials. With them, he could set up a spiritual gathering formation, and then he wouldn't have to worry about thin spiritual energy when cultivating anywhere.
Next, Qin Yi apologetically said to Han Xin, "Uh, I'm sorry, Xin Xin. I have to go to their house again. I can't spend tonight with you!"
Han Xin released his hand and said seriously, "If you want to go, then go. This is important!" She added, "What's there to apologize for? What we agreed on for tonight was mainly what you wanted, not me!"
Qin Yi was speechless.
In the end, Qin Yi accompanied Wu Yao back to the Wu family. Han Xin went back to their room to rest.
On the way back to the Wu family, Wu Yao had already sent a message to Wu Di. Consequently, late at night, Wu Di, Wu Zhongshui, and several other Wu family members were gathered at Wu Di's villa, waiting for Wu Yao and Qin Yi.
During this time, Wu Zhongshui asked, "Patriarch, do you think Qin Yi really knows formations?"
Wu Di remained silent, offering no reply.
A family member named Wu Yuezhou standing beside Wu Zhongshui couldn't help but say, "The art of formations is profound and unfathomable! It's more than ten times harder than cultivation. Our Wu family is a lineage of formation masters, yet now, apart from the Patriarch, we have less than a handful of people who understand formations, and most of them are only at the beginner level!"
"Even the young lady, despite her excellent cultivation talent and the Patriarch's personal tutelage since childhood, has only just reached the beginner level in formations!"
"Qin Yi, a person from Hai City, I don't believe he truly understands formations!"
"Yue Zhou speaks the truth!" An elder with white hair, the eldest among them, stated. "In the southern provincial martial arts world, for decades, I have never heard of any family or force that understands formations!"
This elder, Wu Deshang, was Wu Di's paternal uncle and a pillar of the Wu family. He had studied formations for over fifty years and possessed extremely high attainments in the art, even surpassing Wu Di. Normally, Wu Deshang would not intervene unless it was a matter of existential threat to the family. Even when Wu Yao was attacked yesterday and Wu Jingshan was killed, he did not appear. His presence tonight was solely because Wu Di had specifically summoned him, informing him that they might have found a young man with great talent in formations and asking him to come and assess.
Listening to their words, Wu Di pondered and said, "But when I attacked Qin Yi at noon today, I sensed his strength was not ordinary! To possess such strength at his age is indeed rare!"
"Yes, Qin Yi's strength is formidable!" Wu Zhongshui agreed. He had led several Wu family disciples to attack Qin Yi at noon today, only to be repelled by a single palm strike. Even now, he found it hard to believe.
