As the martial arts contest approached, Xu Junwei came to Qin Tian’s class as a guest lecturer, giving a lecture that primarily covered combat techniques and the application of cultivation techniques and martial arts on the ring.

Qin Tian listened to the lecture from below, and after class, Xu Junwei also called Qin Tian out.

Outside, Xu Junwei appeared to be imparting knowledge and explaining principles to Qin Tian. In reality, as he opened a Cultivation Secret Manual, he handed a letter to Qin Tian, whispering, ”Perhaps, this letter might be of use to you. I went to great lengths to take it out from Lin Zhong, the estate of Ming Jian.”

After speaking, Xu Junwei left without raising suspicion.

Qin Tian pretended to accept Xu Junwei’s Cultivation Secret Manual, and when he reached a quiet place, he opened the envelope. Upon seeing the contents, he couldn’t help it; his heart felt like it was being torn apart!

It was a letter from Cao Taiji to Lin Zhong.

The gist was that Cao Taiji brought a descendant of Long Yin to join Long Yin, hoping Lin Zhong would look after and help Qin Tian...

Recognizing that familiar handwriting, Qin Tian closed his eyes slightly—

The traitor who betrayed Cao Taiji was indeed Ming Jian!

”Master, you can rest in peace in the afterlife...”

Qin Tian sighed heavily, unable to help himself, carrying the envelope to the site where Cao Taiji was buried and burned the letter in front of Cao Taiji’s grave.

Facing Cao Taiji’s moss-covered tombstone, Qin Tian took a deep breath and solemnly and quietly said, ”Master, I am on the path of vengeance and have already found my direction. Rest assured, I will infiltrate Tianyuan Dynasty step by step as a Long Yin spy, from the East Capital to the Imperial City, until I slay the overbearing Ice Emperor!”

...

The end-of-term martial arts contest wasn’t just for freshmen; it included students from the second, third, and fourth years at East Han Academy as well.

Therefore, in the final month, students at East Han Academy were all very tense, intensifying their cultivation.

The final ranking scores not only related to personal honor but also to whether or not they could enter the power departments of Tianyuan Dynasty after graduating from East Han Academy.

Even Wang Tinghu and Wang Haoran, who usually joked around, were now spending all day in secluded cultivation outside.

Qin Tian continued his solitary cultivation, utilizing the Divine Vein Technique. The power of his Power of One Dragon surged, with the True Qi Dragon’s body growing to nearly twice its original size, reaching about ten meters in length!

Of course, no one knew that Qin Tian’s cultivation, although appearing to be at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, held the assurance that even masters at the Nascent Soul Peak could be defeated if he unleashed the Power of One Dragon.

However, as the Power of One Dragon involved the Divine Vein Technique, even if Qin Tian ranked last in this martial arts contest, he would resolutely not use it.

”Qin Tian, busy with cultivation lately?”

Returning to East Han Academy, Qin Tian unexpectedly encountered Feili Xue.

However, from the get-go, Qin Tian could tell that Feili Xue was deliberately waiting for him at the pavilion, a place all students must pass by in their dormitory area.

”Well, never mind. As a poor student, no matter how much I cram at the last minute, in the martial arts contest, I will likely just be beaten anyway.”

Qin Tian walked over, chuckling, and said, ”Teacher Fei, you were looking for me?”

Feili Xue slightly lowered her head, not directly answering Qin Tian’s question, and said, ”If you are busy, then forget it...”

”Do you want me to cook? It’s fine, really. I’ve not been in the kitchen for a while, making some food is nice. There’s no facility in the dormitory.”

Feili Xue coming to find Qin Tian with such gravity obviously indicated that she was here for culinary reasons.

”Does it really not affect you?”

Hearing Qin Tian’s words, Feili Xue’s eyes lit up, filled with anticipation.

”Like I said, whenever I have time, call me anytime, Teacher Fei. Today, I happen to be free. You see, I just got back from cultivation.”

It was already approaching dusk, and Feili Xue looked at the sky, smiling gently, ”Alright, then I’ll be direct. I came to ask you to help me cook dinner, a dinner for seven or eight people, would that be okay? Don’t worry, if it disrupts your cultivation, I will compensate you.”

”Haha, there’s no need to talk about compensation. Just treating me to dinner is fine, right?”

Qin Tian laughed lightly.

”Alright, then I’ll wait for you.” Feili Xue agreed without hesitation.

”No need to wait, I’ll go with you now. What dishes to make, let’s go buy the ingredients now, or it’ll be too late. Hmm, there are so many people at your house?”

”Yes, my master has arrived, along with some guests from the East Capital who came to visit my master tonight. My master enjoys fine food, so...”

”Understood. Don’t worry, with tonight’s dishes, neither you nor your master will be disappointed.”

Upon hearing Feili Xue’s words, Qin Tian smiled knowingly.

It has come, finally come.

Getting closer to Feili Xue, the opportunity to interact with those so-called high-ranking nobles and elite figures finally presented itself.

Once he gets acquainted with these people, climbing higher will be no problem.

...

Naturally, Feili Xue didn’t know Qin Tian had so many thoughts in his mind. She took Qin Tian to the vegetable market, meeting with Xiao Li, and the three of them bought two large baskets of ingredients and returned.

The evening gathering still took place in Feili Xue’s large courtyard residence.

However, upon arriving at the courtyard gate with Feili Xue, Qin Tian noticeably saw a dozen or so guards dressed in golden armor, each exuding an aura of strength. Passing by them, Qin Tian felt his heart palpitate with fear, aware with certainty that—

These guards must be top masters from the Imperial City.

And Feili Xue’s master must be a formidable figure from the Imperial City.

Following Feili Xue into the yard, Qin Tian saw a woman in white in the courtyard, looking to be in her thirties, with white hair, even her eyebrows were white!

”How old is she... Hiss, this appearance, looking so young, so beautiful...”

Upon the first sight of the white-haired woman, Qin Tian was stunned.

He felt he couldn’t see through this white-haired woman at all, although she did not carry the aura of strength like those golden-armored guards outside. But her demeanor was like someone who has seen through worldly matters with noble grace.

”Little Fei, is this the most amazing and magical God of Cooking you’ve met?”

The white-haired woman spoke, her gaze on Qin Tian, her voice like a nightingale.

”Yes, Master, he agreed to cook tonight. You can taste his culinary skills, both Xiao Li and I can’t praise it enough.” Feili Xue said.

The white-haired woman responded with an ”oh” and carefully appraised Qin Tian, asking, ”I heard you’re a student at East Han Academy? This young, where did you learn your culinary skills?”
