I insist

Chapter 44: Brought Back Grain

Song Miqiu lit a lamp and sat quietly at the table.

"If this body really has internal energy, then based on what I've seen in TV dramas, it should be able to easily crush a cup like this, right?"

She didn't know anything about internal energy, but that didn't mean she had no way to verify it.

Song Miqiu picked up a cup from the table at random, though she was actually a little nervous.

"If I fail, my hand might get injured! Then I'll have to figure out how to explain it to them, but for my martial arts dream, I'll give it my all!"

It wasn't just out of her own curiosity; more importantly, she genuinely wanted to confirm whether this body truly possessed internal energy. That way, she would at least have the ability to protect herself in the future when faced with danger.

Song Miqiu didn't like the feeling of not being able to control everything, so now that she had this opportunity, she naturally had to seize it.

So Song Miqiu gently picked up the cup and examined it carefully. She slowly closed her eyes, focusing all her attention on her hands. Gradually, her heart calmed down.

Perhaps even she herself didn't realize that at that moment, a faint white light was swirling around the hand holding the cup.

Click!

Song Miqiu heard a shattering sound, and the next moment her eyes opened were filled with joy!

"I actually guessed right!"

Song Miqiu never expected that this body actually had internal strength! But thinking about it, it makes sense. Since she was sent on this mission, and the organization above seemed to trust her a lot, how could she be so weak?

Although I haven't figured out the secret of the Qiu family yet, it must be a huge secret that makes people take it so seriously and even go to such great lengths to stay hidden for so many years!

Those behind the scenes would never so easily send someone who knows nothing.

She wanted to try again, but having already learned these things, Song Miqiu found it difficult to remain calm, and naturally, she was unable to control the internal energy within her body.

Seeing that the cup hadn't broken, Song Miqiu sighed with some disappointment.

"It seems I really am useless. I have great strength, but I don't know how to use it."

There's nothing more infuriating in the world than this, isn't there?

After all, he was about to realize his martial arts dream, but when the crucial moment came, he found that he had no idea how to use his full strength.

"It seems I'll need to find some books to read when I have the chance. Perhaps the answers can be found in those martial arts manuals that cultivate internal energy?"

Song Miqiu had already started making plans for the future, but she was still somewhat unwilling to give up after her previous attempt, so she planned to try again.

Just as she picked up the cup, she heard a sound coming from outside!

However, the voice seemed to be some distance away, and as for why she could hear it, Song Miqiu had no time to think about it.

She hurriedly blew out the light, climbed into bed, and covered herself up.

It was as if he had never gotten up at all.

Just as she had finished preparing everything, Yu Huailin pushed the door open and came in.

As if he hadn't expected the person on the bed to be asleep, Yu Huailin stared blankly at the person lying there quietly. But he quickly came to his senses, put down the things on his back with a smile, and walked to the bedside.

Song Miqiu naturally heard the footsteps approaching her, but since she had already chosen to pretend to be asleep, she couldn't give up halfway.

But what she didn't know was that when a person is pretending to be asleep, their breathing is different from normal.

An ordinary person might be fooled, but for these martial arts practitioners, they are very familiar with the frequency of breathing.

Yu Huailin could tell at a glance that the woman was pretending to be asleep.

However, it was indeed late, and there was no need for him to wake her up.

"Asleep? You really have no conscience at all. I went out in the middle of the night to get so much food! Oh well! I'm tired too, I'm going to rest."

He seemed to be talking to himself, but he was actually just trying to get the woman to sleep soundly.

After all... he still had something to ask for on their journey ahead.

Song Miqiu, who originally thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, unexpectedly slept soundly until dawn.

The next morning, when he got up, he saw a bag of grain next to his bed, and Yu Huailin came over after hearing the sound.

"Awake? Did you sleep well?"

For some reason, Song Miqiu felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. After all, she had pretended to be asleep suddenly yesterday, and she wasn't sure if the other party had noticed.

But since he didn't bring it up, there's no need for me to cause trouble.

However, Song Miqiu couldn't help but frown when he saw the bag of grain on the ground.

"Where did you get all this food? Are you sure you won't get into trouble?"

Since this man said he would buy back the grain at a low price, he couldn't possibly buy it at the original price. Song Miqiu believed that she knew this man quite well.

Yu Huailin hadn't expected that even after he brought all his things back, she would still be thinking about these things. But thinking about it carefully, it made sense; this woman seemed to have been worried about getting into trouble from the very beginning.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. I've already taken care of everything else; they won't cause any trouble."

Song Miqiu didn't ask any more questions, but just kept staring at Yu Huailin. However, the man's face showed no panic. On the contrary, he seemed very confident about the matter.

But Song Miqiu was ultimately not on the same side as him. After thinking about it carefully, she still felt that they were on someone else's turf. The reason that those people agreed to this man not to cause trouble last night was probably just because they were threatened.

But by the time they realized what was happening, no one knew what would happen if they gathered the rest of the city.

Song Miqiu dared not take such a risk, so he woke up Qiu Tianlei and the others. The group, still half asleep, came into the room and immediately saw the grain there!

Suddenly, everyone forgot about waking up and became energetic all at once!

"Mother, are you really willing to spend so much money to buy so much grain? But that doesn't make sense. We had such a bad argument with them yesterday, how could they still be willing to sell us grain? Could it be that you raised the price for them again?"

Song Miqiu had figured out Qiu Tianlei's persistent nature of getting to the bottom of things, so he quickly made up a random excuse to brush it off.

Otherwise, if they let him keep asking like that, they'll waste all their time!
