Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1763 - 794: The Four Treasures of the Study_2
Previously on Online: I Can See Health Bars...
Qian Wu was just about to discuss the highlights of his duel with Bo Fu when he saw the Qian Family Master raise his hand to stop him from speaking further.
His excitement halted slightly, and Qian Wu’s face involuntarily revealed a hint of disappointment.
"I heard that someone died at Chunhong House last night?"
"...Yes!"
He was already an adult, able to manage his emotions and accustomed to such matters, so Qian Wu quickly collected himself and lowered his head to reply.
"Did the Absolute Sect do it?"
Qian Wu was somewhat surprised and looked up.
He immediately realized his mistake and quickly lowered his head again: "...Yes! They also left behind Black Fire!"
The Qian Family Master frowned even deeper, pressing two fingers against his forehead, gently massaging.
"Those lunatics from the Absolute Sect! How dare they act within the Capital! Even if there are demons in the city, it’s not their business!"
The Qian Family Master’s tone held a strong sense of complaint and barely contained anger.
Qian Wu’s eyes moved slightly, and he immediately reacted.
This is... an opportunity!
"Father! I am willing to relieve your worries! The Absolute Sect is truly out of line! I am willing to lead a team to find the whereabouts of the Absolute Sect disciples and teach them a lesson! Make them behave a bit!"
"You?"
The Qian Family Master glanced at him from the corner of his eye.
After a moment’s thought, the Qian Family Master waved his hand.
"It’s unnecessary; I have my own arrangements for this matter. You don’t need to intervene. If there’s nothing else, please withdraw."
Withdraw, retreat?
Father hurriedly called me just to ask about the dead woman at Chunhong House? A woman killed by the Absolute Sect?
Qian Wu silently clenched his fist.
Though his mind was filled with thoughts, he lowered his head to reply with a heavy heart.
"Yes!"
He walked out step by step.
Yet in his heart, he was hoping that his father would call him back to seriously ask about last night’s achievements, his shining performance, and to praise him well.
However... no.
All his thoughts and expectations fell flat.
As the study room door closed, Qian Wu’s previously elated mood completely sunk.
I’ve achieved so much, causing discussions throughout the Capital, yet, why... why does my father still not recognize me! He still won’t pay me a bit of attention!
Qian Wu clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and walked away.
As he walked, he suddenly thought of something.
"Father is investigating the Absolute Sect! If I can help father in this area, wouldn’t that align with his wishes, earning his appreciation!"
Qian Wu’s eyes lit up; he felt he had found the key to the matter.
But finding the Absolute Sect isn’t easy.
Luckily... the Qian Family has specially trained a group for finding people, called... the Wind Catching Team!
Changing directions, Qian Wu headed straight for the Wind Catching Team’s location.
But when he arrived...
"Sorry, Young Master Qian Wu, we cannot help you."
"Why!"
Qian Wu’s face darkened like water.
Father doesn’t favor me, but how dare this mere Wind Catching Team, a group of hounds raised by the Qian Family, refuse my order?
"This..."
The Wind Catching Team Captain looked troubled, hesitated a moment, then said in a low voice.
"Because, because the Master ordered us, the Wind Catching Team must currently follow Miss Ji’s arrangements to find the guy who offended Miss Ji at Hundred Mischief Lane yesterday. We currently cannot spare manpower to serve the Young Master, and also, Young Master... you haven’t brought the Master’s order with you, making it difficult for us to assist..."
The Wind Catching Team Captain was caught in the middle, truly unable to help. If they do help the Young Master and something goes wrong, he wouldn’t be able to escape responsibility.
The Young Master is blood-related to the Master, and even if punishments occur, they’re limited. But as for the Wind Catching Team, they don’t have such connections; the blame would be severe.
Thus, avoiding responsibility, he wouldn’t let his team members take risks.
Qian Wu was clearly upset, his face unpleasant.
"What do you mean? My orders are no longer orders? Is the Qian Family not my family anymore?"
The Wind Catching Team Captain became extremely troubled.
The Qian Family is certainly still your family, but in the Qian Family, you aren’t the sole heir; there are other sons, even daughters. Who the Master will ultimately give the Qian Family to is still uncertain. It’s too early to discuss this...
Despite the difficulty, the Wind Catching Team Captain’s attitude remained very clear and firm.
"Young Master Qian Wu, I truly cannot help."
"Enough talk! I’ll remember this; you just wait! Even without the Wind Catching Team, I refuse to believe I can’t find them!"
After leaving a harsh remark, Qian Wu departed angrily.
He pondered the idea of forming his own Wind Catching Team, perhaps calling it the Cloud Catching Team.
However, that’s a future concern; just considering recruitment and training is already a heap of trouble, and he doesn’t currently have the resources to nurture such a team.
No...
If aided by that senior...
A pink-clad woman’s image surfaced in Qian Wu’s mind.
With an idea in mind, Qian Wu quickly left.
Soon after he departed, the Bidding Girl Ji Jin reached the Wind Catching Team Captain.
"The person I asked you to check on yesterday, did you find them?"
The Wind Catching Team Captain looked immediately distressed.
Ordered to investigate yesterday and asked for results today.
How can it be so fast, Miss Ji?
Feeling helpless inside, he could only promise verbally: "We’ve found some clues, and it shouldn’t take long to find the person. Please rest assured, we are absolutely investigating his whereabouts with full effort!"
Just because someone offended her by snatching away something she wanted, it’s come to this.
The Wind Catching Team Captain found Miss Ji to be simply unreasonable, aggressive.
But in the Capital, people like Miss Ji, who misuse their rights and status, are almost everywhere. Thinkers like him are indeed rare...
"How long is ’not too long’? What does ’some clues’ mean? Is the Qian Family just raising you lot to eat for free?"
Ji Jin directly berated them, leaving the Wind Catching Team Captain to endure silently.
"Miss Ji, the clues we found are about the person you’re looking for visiting Chunhong House and then disappearing. We’re still following up on other leads. In a few days, we should have results. We’ve gathered their entry records as well, and they entered the city with the Suo Family, possibly merely guests of the Suo Family at most."
Suo Family?
Ji Jin paused for a moment, then sneered, clearly not taking the Suo Family seriously.
"Got it, no substantial background is fine, just hurry and find them! My temper is quite bad right now!"
"Yes! Yes!"
The Wind Catching Team Captain nodded repeatedly, ensuring this demanding lady left happily.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and ordered his men to intensify the search and employ certain tools.
Without fully understanding the opponent’s background, the Wind Catching Team hesitated to act recklessly.
Even with some knowledge of the background, they need someone to back them before they dare proceed aggressively.
Currently, it’s Miss Ji of the Ji Family backing them, allowing them to act more boldly.
In such a case, results should soon follow.
Elsewhere, Bidding Girl Ji Jin headed towards the Qian Family’s Martial Arts Training Ground.
There, her good friend, the Qian Family’s only daughter, was sweating profusely, diligently training with the Instructor.
Though unable to speak, her good friend seems to have a natural talent, learning with competence.
This made Ji Jin happy; if all goes well, she hoped her friend could become the future Captain of her Man-catching Team!
Women must strive on their own!
Ji Jin puffed her chest, feeling refreshed.
Meanwhile, at the Martial Arts Training Ground, Qin Er noticed Ji Jin’s attention, but her mind was elsewhere.
Qin Er had started understanding her unique advantages.
The most notable aspect is... through repeated practice, she can increase her martial arts proficiency which, upon reaching a certain level, directly elevates her Martial Arts Realm!
