City's Best Divine Doctor-Chapter 1812 - 1772: Peak of the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement Realm

Chapter 1812: Chapter 1772: Peak of the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement Realm

Ye Qiu went back upstairs to play on the computer for a while, then took a shower and returned to his room to rest.

Last night, Ye Qiu felt his cultivation was about to break through. As Ye Qiu continued cultivating, an endless stream of Spiritual Energy flowed through the window, converting Moonlight Essence into Spiritual Energy, which then entered his meridians, circulated throughout his body, and finally settled in the Dantian.

He didn’t know how much time had passed, but the accumulated True Qi was like a lake filled with water, ready to overflow. Ye Qiu felt a ’boom’ in his mind and saw that the faintly discernible lotus-shaped structure in his Dantian had become more pronounced.

Ye Qiu opened his eyes, realizing that he had broken through in his cultivation, directly advancing from the middle of the Ninth Layer of the Qi Refinement Realm to the Peak of the Ninth Layer.

Looking at the time now, he found it was still early, just after three in the morning.

He got up to take a shower and returned to his room without continuing his cultivation.

The next morning, Ye Qiu got up, washed up, ate breakfast, and drove back to Jin University Campus.

Back in the classroom, he attended two classes, which had little significance for him.

When lunchtime came, Ye Qiu didn’t stay; he took out his phone to call Shen Yueru.

"Yueru, I’m going over to have lunch with you."

"Then come over."

Previously, her attitude was always cold; apart from her father, she maintained that expression towards other men. However, for some reason, now when she sees Ye Qiu, there’s a peculiar look, even Secretary Xiao Li noticed that President Shen seemed different from usual.

Ye Qiu drove to the square in front of Xingyue Group and waited there.

Shen Yueru grabbed her bag, got in the car, and Ye Qiu asked: "What do you want to eat?"

"You decide."

Ye Qiu drove away from there, heading to an upscale Western restaurant.

When they arrived, parked, and went inside, Shen Yueru directly held Ye Qiu’s arm.

Inside, a waitress guided them to a couple’s seat by the window.

Sitting down, after ordering dishes and wine, Ye Qiu asked, "How’s the situation with the Yang Family?"

"Yang Zhigang’s father came over many times, hoping we would spare the Yang Family."

Sparing?

The business world is like a battlefield. If not for encountering Ye Qiu this time, Shen Yueru and Xingyue Group might have faced trouble.

Clearly, Yang Zhigang and the Yang Family not only covet Shen Yueru’s beauty but aim to acquire Xingyue Group as well.

Greed is fine, but they must consider their own worth.

"It’s impossible to spare them. This time, not only will we crush the Yang Family but also warn other families in the Silk Association that the new Silk Association should be in Jinling rather than Jiangzhou."

"Really planning to intervene?" Shen Yueru asked.

"With the company’s expansion, we must control raw materials well. The domestic and international environments are different; at least abroad, we won’t face contract breaches like last time."

Shen Yueru agreed.

However, she’s busy with Xingyue Group and the acquisition of Qingcheng Group, making her work even more hectic. She hardly has time to manage the Silk Association.

"Who should we entrust it to?"

"Your sister, perhaps."

Even though, in Ye Qiu’s view, the role of financial director at Xingyue Group is crucial, Shen Zhigang and his wife entrusted it to Shen Xingru.

But in terms of capability, Shen Xingru is slightly less competent than Shen Yueru, and previously due to family matters, she couldn’t focus entirely on work. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Now it’s different; after her divorce, with her son cared for, she has no worries.

"My sister?"

Shen Yueru felt it was a good choice for her sister to handle raw material matters.

However, she looked at Ye Qiu strangely, sensing a complex relationship between Ye Qiu and her sister, yet rarely seeing them in contact.

"I’ll talk to my sister about it."

"Your sister is capable; it’s just her career was previously burdened by family. Now she can focus on work."

"Honestly, are you interested in my sister?" Shen Yueru looked at him and asked.

Though, in Shen Yueru’s mind, her sister has been married and has a child, plus she’s older than Ye Qiu—is it appropriate?

Moreover, she believes that her sister has likely been disillusioned with men and might never remarry.

Ye Qiu smiled at Shen Yueru’s question but said nothing.

"You."

Shen Yueru thought she had touched a nerve.

Meanwhile, the waitress brought over the bottle of wine, uncorked it, and poured them each half a glass before leaving. Ye Qiu held Shen Yueru’s delicate hand, causing her to try to withdraw her hand.

Their intimacy usually involved simple hand-holding or hugging; it was only recently that Shen Yueru had kissed Ye Qiu, and beyond that, they seemed not to cross boundaries.

At her age, Shen Yueru certainly understood.

"If you dare have anything with my sister, I’ll ignore you for life," Shen Yueru said, looking at him.

In her view, she and her sister were mutually exclusive choices.

Besides, she felt her sister wasn’t a match for Ye Qiu, given her status as a divorced mother.

"You’re overthinking."

Yet, where men are concerned, they often resist eating what’s close yet tempting.

As the waitress brought over the other dishes Shen Yueru ordered, including steaks, they finished eating, settled the bill, and got back in the car. Shen Yueru felt she hadn’t rested for a long time and wanted to take a stroll.

"I’m not ready to head back yet."

"Let’s go to the riverside for some fresh air then."

During early winter afternoons, the sunlight wasn’t too warm. As they reached the Qinhuai River, they got out and walked along the riverside.

Unconsciously, Ye Qiu found himself at the City God Temple by Qinhuai River.

During New Year, Ye Qiu had visited this place with Liu Lingxiu for the temple fair, where she picked up many items.

Besides, the City God Temple mainly sold antiques like various curios, ancient coins, jade artifacts.

Additionally, there were a few small jade gambling shops.

The jade gambling at this place was scarce, brought from Southern Yunnan. It was tiny and rarely had consumer traffic; even during festival events, not many people played.

As for the antiques, most were fakes, imitations used to entertain tourists from other areas.

"I want to have a look," Shen Yueru said. Although she grew up in Jinling, she hadn’t visited the City God Temple since high school.
