Mingzhu Medical University is located in the southwestern part of Mingzhu City.
It occupies a prime location in the city and is not only famous for its location but also for the number of handsome men and beautiful women studying there.
Strangely, the students of Mingzhu Medical University, whether male or female, are all good looking.
The luxury cars parked in front of the school every day are testament to this.
Of course, for Xiao Qiang, these good-looking men and women don’t attract him.
His attention is currently focused on how to find Wang Yue.
Upon arriving here by bus, Xiao Qiang realized that Mingzhu Medical University was much larger than he had imagined.
It was foolish to think he could find Wang Yue on his own, especially since he had forgotten to ask the nurse what specialty Wang Yue was studying.
Just as Xiao Qiang was deep in thought, a sudden brake sound interrupted his musing.
Following the sound, he saw an SUV parked not far from him, a young woman without any makeup stepping out of the car.
In today’s society, women who dare to go out without makeup are either disillusioned or simply too lazy or poor to bother with their appearance.
Only a minority truly embodies the term “natural beauty”, and an even smaller minority look even better without makeup.
The woman in front of Xiao Qiang was one of them.
In her mid-twenties, she wore no makeup, nor sunglasses like other women.
Dressed in casual clothes, she looked like the perfect combination of intellect and maturity.
Upon seeing her, several men waiting on the roadside were stunned, at a loss for words.
Who was this woman?
Was she also a student here?
Xiao Qiang revealed a smile and started walking towards her.
“What are you doing here?” Xiao Qiang asked with a smile.
The woman, initially a bit annoyed by someone approaching her, froze when she saw Xiao Qiang’s face.
Just as everyone thought this reckless man was about to get a scolding, the woman shouted in glee and unexpectedly hugged him.
“Xiao Qiang, is that really you!
Really you!”
Feifei, looking excited, grabbed Xiao Qiang’s shoulder and shook him, “You’re finally here!
I thought you had disappeared.”
Xiao Qiang gave a helpless bitter smile.
He still remembered Feifei’s outgoing personality.
They had only spent a short time together, and although they had shared adversity, they were not so familiar.
The next moment, Feifei patted Xiao Qiang on the shoulder and complained, “This guy, you disappeared for too long, aren’t you?
It’s been half a year, and you didn’t even bother to call me.”
Xiao Qiang was speechless.
Even if he had her number, Xiao Qiang wouldn’t have called her.
He didn’t really care much about their shared experience of being kidnapped, it was just a coincidence.
However, If he had taken the initiative to contact Feifei, she might think he was trying to exploit his past deeds.
Having spent a long time in the cultivation world, Xiao Qiang always assumed the worst about people.
Rather than ruining the good impression between them, it was better to keep a distance and preserve the good memories.
Hearing Feifei’s words, Xiao Qiang chuckled and shrugged, “I don’t have a cell phone, don’t you remember?”
Feifei paused and lost her cool, chuckling, “I forgot, I’m sorry.”
She then took Xiao Qiang’s hand and said, “Come on, I’ll take you to buy a phone.”
Xiao Qiang shrugged, “I have no money.”
Before he finished speaking, an ecstatic voice cried out, “Brother!”
The next moment, a tall, cold-faced, noble, and fair-skinned beauty appeared before Xiao Qiang, “What brings you here?” It was none other than Wang Yue, whom Xiao Qiang had come to find.
It was clear that she had just come out of the school, accompanied by two girls who seemed to be her roommates.
Xiao Qiang broke into a smile, feeling lucky to have bumped into Wang Yue after just a few words with Feifei.
“I just got back and heard you were studying here, so I came to see you,” Xiao Qiang said to Wang Yue with a smile.
Wang Yue nodded in confusion.
Despite her surprise at Xiao Qiang’s sudden appearance, she knew this wasn’t the place to hold a conversation.
She glanced at Feifei and curiously asked, “Who is this?”
Xiao Qiang chuckled, “This is Feifei.” Regardless of everything, Feifei was someone he knew.
Wang Yue ackonwledged with an “oh” and greeted Hu Feifei, saying, “Hello, I’m Wang Yue.
You’re friends with my brother, right?”
Hu Feifei laughed brightly, “Xiao Qiang and I are buddies.
You’re really pretty, little sister.”
As for her demeanor, Xiao Qiang had nothing left to say.
He could only shrug helplessly.
“Who is that young chap?”
At this point, many people had developed an interest in Xiao Qiang’s identity.
After all, whether it was the innocent Wang Yue or the mature and intelligent Hu Feifei, both women were top-tier beauties who could catch the eye of any man.
Even with the multitude of beautiful women at the Medical University, their presence had drawn the attention of a significant number of men.
And Xiao Qiang, a man who was simply dressed, seemed to know both of the stunning ladies quite well.
Their movements and expressions indicated a familiarity and affection between them that sparked quite a bit of curiosity.
“By the way, where have you been the past six months?” After chatting with Wang Yue for a while, Hu Feifei turned to Xiao Qiang and asked curiously.
After Xiao Qiang saved her and Qian Hu that day, he disappeared into the mountains.
She originally thought he was only hiding for a few days, but surprisingly, he had been missing for half a year.
Just as Xiao Qiang was about to answer her question, his brow furrowed suddenly.
He turned around abruptly and looked behind him.
Not far from Xiao Qiang and the others, an old figure stood there.
It was the old butler who followed Xiao Wen.
“Uncle Qin, why are you here?” Wang Yue asked in surprise.
Then, seeing the serious expression on Xiao Qiang’s face, she realized that these two had never met before.
“Brother, this is Uncle Qin.
He…” She was just about to speak when Xiao Qiang interrupted her: “Wang Yue, wait a minute.”
He then walked up to the butler, Qin, looked intently at him, but did not say a word.
A mountain-like aura emanated from Xiao Qiang.
He asked calmly, “Honorable elder, may I ask the purpose of your visit?”
Butler Qin was taken aback, gave Xiao Qiang a deep look, and then said with a smile, “My young master would like to have a conversation with Mr.
Xiao.
I wonder if Mr.
Xiao could grant us the honor?”
Xiao Qiang chuckled, “Old Sir, you have already taken half a step into the innate realm.
You could easily capture me, so why don’t you take action?”
Butler Qin’s pupils contracted as he looked at Xiao Qiang in surprise and exclaimed, “How do you know that?” He was now a pinnacle level 9 martial artist, on the cusp of breaking through to the legendary innate realm.
Because of this, he was highly regarded by two generations of the Xiao family’s heads.
Although he was a butler, he was actually the Xiao family’s protector.
This secret had been known to few people over the years apart from the Xiao family’s head.
But Qin Zheng suddenly realized that his cultivation, which he had hidden for many years, was completely exposed under the unflinching gaze of this young man.
This surprise left him feeling astonished and a little bewildered — was this young man truly a mysterious expert, just as the Young Master had said?
Xiao Qiang calmly watched Qin Zheng, of course not revealing that his capabilities were higher than his.
More importantly, while many people in this world practice martial arts, Xiao Qiang cultivated his martial arts through Taoism.
Therefore, he was considerably stronger than him.
At the very least, Xiao Qiang was fully aware that a surprise Thunderfire Symbol could take down the elder in front of him.
“Old Sir, who is your Young Master?” Xiao Qiang was curious about who this person could be, who came looking for him as soon as he appeared in Mingzhu, apparently someone of significant background.
It was only now that Qin Zheng regained his composure.
He looked at Wang Yue, clearly implying he wanted her to explain.
He knew his own identity was sensitive and could easily cause misunderstandings with Xiao Qiang.
He had fortuitously met this mysterious person today, and his very last hope for his old master to regain consciousness rested with him.
Therefore, Qin Zheng did not dare to neglect Xiao Qiang at all.
Wang Yue came over to whisper in Xiao Qiang’s ear: “Brother, this is the butler of the Xiao Family.
Not long after you left, Xiao Wen woke up.
The Xiao family found a heart source for him.
However, Mr.
Xiao seems to have fallen seriously ill, and Xiao Wen has been handling the family affairs for the past few months.
They have been looking for you all this while.
It was Xiao Wen who sent me to the Medical University for advanced studies.”
Xiao Qiang frowned, “Did they cause you any trouble?”
He was mainly worried about whether Wang Yue had been threatened by the Xiao family.
After all, a single, defenseless young woman would be left helpless if threatened.
She shook her head lightly: “No, Xiao Wen visited me twice, asking about your hospital stay.
He knows nothing about the event and has always felt very sorry for you.”
It was clear from her speech that she held Xiao Wen in high regard.
With these thoughts in mind, Xiao Qiang nodded and turned to Qin Zheng who had been watching him all this while—”Old Sir, if you don’t mind, please lead the way.”
Qin Zheng immediately nodded: “Very well, Mr.
Xiao.
Please follow me.”
The two of them, one leading and the other following, headed towards a black sedan car parked not far away.
At that moment, a flash of cold light flickered in Xiao Qiang’s eyes.
He let out a cold snort and looked at two figures slowly approaching from afar.
