Chapter 310 13 Eyeliner

Chapter 310: Eyeliner
As for the grey robe and top hat on Chen Qing, he naturally bought them from a clothing store on the street while Cao Zhuo was hiding in the store at the corner of the street.

He put on the robe directly in the clothing store and added a top hat, which immediately changed his image and made it completely different from before.

Of course, getting rid of Cao Zhuo was just a trivial matter for Chen Qing.

When the rickshaw passed by the other party not far away, Chen Qing didn't even look at Cao Zhuo who was standing on the street. He got on the rickshaw and came to the "Sanyang" ferry without saying a word.

When he arrived at the destination, he paid and got off the bus, then he randomly took a ferry to West City, just like he had done in recent days.

More than thirty minutes later.

Xicheng, Jiangwan District, Yunguang Road.

A rickshaw, pulling a passenger wearing a robe and a top hat, slowly drove over and stopped by the roadside.

"Sir, we have arrived at Yunguang Road."

After parking the car, the driver turned around and said to the passengers in the car with a smile.

"Ah."

The passenger in the car responded, then paid the fare and got off the car.

This person was none other than Chen Qing who came from Dongcheng.

After getting off the car, Chen Qing raised his hand to press down the top hat on his head, took a general glance at the current basic situation of Yunguang Road, and then walked into a pub on the roadside with familiarity.

Although Yunguang Road is a street for office workers and is mostly populated by coffee shops, there are still some pubs selling alcohol.

Because after get off work, some office workers who are under a lot of pressure will occasionally drink a little to relax themselves.

After a while, Chen Qing walked out of the tavern with four more jars of wine in his hands than before.

Afterwards, Chen Qing carried the four jars of wine and walked straight to the end of Yunguang Road, turned into another street that intersected with it, and then walked along the street for a while until he came to a hotel called "Shumian".

The entrance to this hotel is a flight of stairs going up. It is a floor hotel with the front desk on the second floor.

Chen Qing carried the jar of wine up the stairs and soon reached the second floor.

At the staircase on the second floor, there is a concave counter made of wood. At this moment, a middle-aged woman with permed hair, wearing a cheongsam, but with a slightly bloated figure, is sitting inside, grinding her nails.

After Chen Qing came up, the middle-aged woman behind the counter just looked up, then lowered her eyes and continued to sharpen her nails.

Chen Qing smiled and nodded slightly to the other party, then walked into the corridor on the second floor.

The middle-aged woman at the counter is the owner of this hotel.

In order to facilitate his practice, Chen Qing booked a room here for half a month.

As of today, this is Chen Qing's eighth day staying here. The proprietress has become familiar with him and after he arrived, she no longer asked him whether he wanted to book a room like she did in the first few days.

Chen Qing carried the wine all the way to the end of the corridor and stopped at the last room in the corridor, room number 210.

Then, he transferred the wine in his left hand to his left hand, and prepared to take out the key with his right hand.

But before he could put his hand into his pocket, there was a sudden "click" and the door of room 210 was opened from the inside.

Chen Qing was slightly startled, and then he saw the person who opened the door, Qi Yi!
Today, Qi Yi simply wore a pair of beige trousers and a white shirt, with a silk scarf tied around her neck and her hair tied up. The overall look gave her a capable and elegant yet refined look.

After opening the door and seeing Chen Qing outside, she said calmly:
"You're late today."

Chen Qing heard this and replied with a smile: "Something delayed me for a while."

In the past week, he basically set out immediately after get off work, rushed to the "Sanyang" ferry as quickly as possible, then took the ferry across the river, and then took a rickshaw to Yunguang Road.

When he got here, it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon.

But today, Cao Zhuo, the patrolman from "Tianxin District", came up to them when they were off work and kept an eye on him after routine questioning.

It took him some time to find a way to get rid of the other party.

As a result, I was almost twenty minutes late today, almost half an hour.

Qi Yi didn't get angry after hearing this. She just turned around and walked into the room and said, "Let's get started. I have to go to work later. It's almost half past one now. Because you're late, I will increase my strength and speed today. It will be a little painful during the process. Please bear with it."

"……Row."

Chen Qing didn't say anything after hearing this. After all, being late was indeed his fault.

While answering, Chen Qing also walked into the room carrying four jars of wine.

The hotel room was not big. After putting in a bed, a table and two chairs, there was no extra space.

Chen Qing placed the four jars of wine in his hands on the table, took off his top hat and put it aside, then directly opened two of the jars of wine, tilted his head back and drank them all in one breath.

Then, he took off his robe, revealing the clothes underneath, and then took off his shirt, shoes and socks one after another, leaving Qi Yi wearing only a pair of trousers.

[Essence] Chen Qing's muscles, whose value has now increased to over 20, in his arms, chest, abdomen, waist and back, are as hard and angular as rocks. They are not visible when he is wearing clothes, but once he takes off his clothes, the visual effect is very impactful!

Even Qi Yi, who had seen it many times in the past few days, couldn't help but look at it a few more times when she saw it again.

Of course, that's all.

After taking a few glances, Qi Yi rolled up her shirt sleeves and said, "Lie down."

Chen Qing nodded, and then lay down on the bed in the hotel...

More than half an hour later.

The massage is over.

Qi Yi stood up from the bed in the hotel, and while putting down the sleeves of her rolled-up white shirt, she breathed slightly.

There were faint traces of sweat between her temples.

She wasn't actually like this a few days ago.

Even though she had massaged Chen Qing's abdomen and feet for an hour or so to stimulate the acupuncture points on his kidneys, she didn't even get red in the face or out of breath.

But today, because Chen Qing was late, she could only increase the intensity and shorten the massage time to about half an hour, saving almost half the time compared to usual.

But the price I paid is that I am exhausted now.

However, Chen Qing on the bed was not much better.

It was supposed to take about an hour to finish the massage, but Chen Qing felt that Qi Yi's hands were very "hard" and the massage effect was maximized.

Now that he was sacrificing time and increasing the intensity, he was sweating all over during the past half hour!

In addition, the pressed acupoints on the abdomen and feet are also accompanied by slightly more intense pain that spreads throughout the body.

Although Chen Qing gritted his teeth and endured it without making any sound, he couldn't stop sweating. When Qi Yi stood up and began to roll down her sleeves, Chen Qing, who was lying on the bed and sweating all over, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he did not get up, put on his clothes and leave immediately like he did in the previous few days. Instead, he prepared to lie down for a while to relieve the "damage" to his body before leaving.

But just as he closed his eyes, Qi Yi, who had put down her sleeves, suddenly said, "By the way, I need your help with something."

"Ok?"

Chen Qing, who had just closed his eyes and was about to take a rest in bed, had no choice but to open his eyes again after hearing this.

He looked at Qi Yi and asked, "What's the matter?"

During these days when Qi Yi was helping him practice martial arts, during their casual chat, Qi Yi kept reminding him of the favor he owed her.

Of course, the other party does not actually say it explicitly, but at the end, he or she may remind you in a more tactful way by saying something like “I still haven’t thought about the reward today, I’ll tell you when I think about it.”

After hearing this, Chen Qing naturally agreed.

The debt of favor is the hardest to repay; the sooner you pay it back, the sooner you will feel at ease.

Therefore, when he heard Qi Yi finally mention helping, he immediately perked up.

"Please help me keep an eye out for any suspicious situations in East City recently."

After putting down her shirt sleeves, Qi Yi pulled off the rubber band from her hair and then re-tied her hair while speaking.

After hearing this, Chen Qing was stunned.

Pay attention to any suspicious situations in East City?
What does it mean?
In addition, Qi Yi's words clearly tacitly acknowledged that the other person was in Dongcheng.

Although Chen Qing had seen Qi Yi's "observational deduction" ability before, Qi Yi's direct words assuming that others were in Dongcheng still made him silent for a moment.

But then, he sat up from the bed and replied with a smile: "Senior sister, are you going to develop me into a spy for the 'Military Control Commission'?"

He did not refute Qi Yi's words.

After helping each other practice martial arts for a few days, the mutual trust between him and Qi Yi increased a bit.

Massaging and stimulating the acupuncture points on the kidneys required him to leave his defenseless body to Qi Yi.

If Qi Yi had bad intentions and attacked him during the massage, there was a high probability that she would be able to seriously injure him.

But in the past few days, Qi Yi didn't do so.

So, although he didn't completely trust Qi Yi, he was not far from it.

"That's fine if you want to understand it that way."

Qi Yi listened to his words and did not refute either. She said calmly, "However, there is no informant fee."

"Senior sister, you are so cruel!"

Chen Qing followed up with a joke and asked, "Did something happen in Dongcheng? Senior sister, you actually used up the favor of helping me practice martial arts and asked me to be your spy."

Trust is trust, but the accounts still need to be settled clearly.

Chen Qing pointed out directly in words that being a spy was in exchange for favors from people who helped him practice martial arts.

In response, Qi Yi just turned her head and looked at him, and then didn't say anything. Instead, she explained to his question: "I don't know if you know about the challenge of the Ryuuko people in the concession half a month ago. If you read the newspaper frequently, you should have an impression of it."

"On the 15th, Ryu-Yo set up a ring to challenge the local warriors of Hu Hai, but was defeated by the local warriors of Hu Hai, which made Ryu-Yo lose face. At that time, the joint security team of the concession and the Ryu-Yo Consulate were dispatched, and our people were also dispatched. In short, it was a big commotion."

"After that incident, we have been keeping a close eye on whether the Ryuuakura side would make any moves, and then we discovered that recently, the vice consul of the Ryuuakura Consulate, Harada Keita, invited a Ryuuakura man named 'Tengchuan Hisao' to come from Ryuuakura. We are still investigating the identity of this Ryuuakura man named 'Tengchuan Hisao'. After he came to 'Hu Hai', he has been active in Dongcheng and has secretly contacted many people. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, we have not touched the people he has contacted for the time being."

"But we suspect that his actions may be a prelude to Ryusakura's revenge for the ring incident, so we hope that people who are stationed in East City can help keep an eye on the recent movements in East City, and if they find anything suspicious, they can pass on the information as soon as possible."

After saying all this in one breath, Qi Yi tied her hair up again.

Then, she turned to face Chen Qing and said, "Junior brother, you are quite strong and smart. You have made great progress in 'Practicing the Spirit' in the past six months. Although your five senses are not as sharp as those of 'Divine Transformation' masters, they are much better than ordinary people. If there is any unusual movement in East City, you should be able to discover it earlier than those spies. So, I would like to ask you to help keep an eye on this matter."

“…So that’s how it is!”

After listening to Qi Yi's story, Chen Qing's face suddenly showed a look of enlightenment.

Then, he nodded without hesitation and replied, "I know about the arena incident you mentioned, Senior Sister. I saw it in the newspaper and read the subsequent reports. It's really satisfying! Our Central People have finally given the Ryuujin a good slap. It's really refreshing! Senior Sister, don't worry. If I find out that those Ryuujin are really doing something in East City, I will notify you immediately and cooperate with our officials to crack down on their arrogance!"

Speaking of the latter part, Chen Qing patted his chest and made a promise.

After hearing this, Qi Yi just looked at Chen Qing indifferently for a moment, then retracted her gaze and said, "Remember to inform me as soon as you find anything. I'm going back to work first."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the door, opened it and walked out.

Seeing this, Chen Qing, regardless of the fact that he was still shirtless, quickly stood up and followed him.

When he followed her to the door and watched Qi Yi walk away along the corridor without looking back, he closed the door and his brows gradually furrowed.

"Did you specially invite someone from Ryuying to come to Dongcheng..."

His eyes narrowed slightly.

Although he didn't know what this Ryuukawa artist named "Tengchuan Hisao" did or what he was going to do in Dongcheng.

But he was sure that the other party was most likely coming for Takasugi Naoto, whom he had killed!

And this news also indirectly proved one thing, that is, the Ryusakura side knew that Takasugi Naoto came to Dongcheng to kill people!

Otherwise, he believed that he had done a perfect job after killing Takasugi Naoto, and Takasugi Naoto came alone at that time. When he buried the body, he and Xuanfeng were a master of "Jingbian" and "Shenbian" respectively. Once someone was secretly watching them, they would definitely be sensed by them.

Therefore, he could confirm that there were no other witnesses at the time.

In this situation, Ryusakura was able to lock onto Dongcheng so quickly, so someone must have known Takasugi Naoto's whereabouts before!
Thinking of this, Chen Qing stopped resting and went straight back to his room to put on his clothes, shoes and socks, then left the hotel room.

Now that he knew that the Ryuying faction was taking action in Dongcheng for Takasugi Naoto, he naturally had to go back and make preparations as soon as possible!

"Let's go."

When Chen Qing walked along the corridor and reached the stairs to the first floor of the second floor of the hotel, the proprietress at the counter at the stairs suddenly greeted him with a smile.

Chen Qing was stunned after hearing this, but then he smiled and nodded to the other party as a response.

Then he prepared to go down the stairs to the second floor.

But at this time, the proprietress smiled and said, "Young man, you have a good figure. I saw it when you sent your lover just now. That girl is really lucky!"
