“No need to explain. The Jiang family has been at odds with my Su family for years. Their actions now are merely meant to put me in a difficult spot. On the contrary, your dual identity, in my view, is a good thing.”
“Although my daughter’s claim that she’d appoint you as the Su family’s chief treasure appraiser was said in a fit of pique, it seems now that you’re more than capable of the role! So why not take it on officially?”
Xu Fei was stunned and quickly tried to interrupt. He had absolutely no interest in this so-called chief treasure appraiser position!
“Alright, alright, it’s getting late. You should stay and rest!”
But Su Hong gave him no chance to speak, promptly summoning a servant to take Su Yu to rest and arranging a room for Xu Fei.
Xu Fei now sat on the guest room bed, staring at the golden Buddha in his arms.
“This old man clearly wants to tie me down here to work for him. But I couldn’t care less about that. It’s just a pity about this half of the Lingbao Tongtian Jue.”
“If I’d known things would go this smoothly, I’d have brought the golden Buddha from Wang Qiang’s place!”
Xu Fei muttered to himself, unaware that the words on the back of this half of the golden Buddha suddenly turned into golden light and burrowed into his mind.
With that, the *Lingbao Tongtian Jue* was fully restored in Xu Fei’s mind.
The true qi that had been accumulating in his body for days now seemed to find an outlet, surging out all at once.
The entire guest room was suddenly filled with thick mist, resembling an immortal realm.
Xu Fei immediately sat cross-legged, as if in deep meditation, gradually absorbing the true qi.
As he absorbed it, he noticed a change in his eyes!
Previously, Xu Fei’s eyes were just ordinary, only able to see things imbued with true qi because he had become a cultivator.
Now, having absorbed more true qi and combined it with the abilities of the *Lingbao Tongtian Jue*, he had unexpectedly gained the power of x-ray vision!
“Blimey! This is even better than cheating!” Xu Fei nearly burst out laughing, thinking that if he diligently cultivated, his eyes might become more useful than that bloke Diyu Er’s intelligence network.
Having just unlocked his x-ray vision, Xu Fei was eager to test it. He casually glanced at the wall, and the situation in the corridor outside became clear as day.
“Eh? What’s this lass doing up so late, sneaking around here?”
In Xu Fei’s x-ray vision, Su Yu’s figure suddenly appeared in the corridor outside.
She was stumbling along, swaying unsteadily, until she tripped and fell with a thud right at Xu Fei’s door, her head banging loudly.
“Better check on her quick, don’t want the lass knocking her brains out. Not that she’s exactly a genius to begin with…”
Muttering to himself, Xu Fei went to the door, opened it, and helped Su Yu up.
“Su Yu? Wake up! Come on, wake up…”
Seeing she wouldn’t stir, Xu Fei had no choice but to pinch her philtrum, channeling true qi through his fingers into her body.
Xu Fei injected true qi into Su Yu three times in succession. On the fourth attempt, she suddenly woke up.
“Ah! Pervert!”
Seeing her face so close to Xu Fei’s, Su Yu instantly panicked and let out a loud scream.
Fortunately, Xu Fei was quick, covering her mouth with his hand and briefly explaining what had just happened.
“You’ve got the wrong idea. I’ve got something serious to ask you. Do you remember what you ate after you got back?”
