Chapter 607 607: People of Past and Present Lives
BANG!!
Qin Heng slammed his palm down, directly stopping the car by its hood!
The rapidly speeding sports car screeched to a halt!
Its tires spun uselessly, unable to advance even an inch!
WHIRR!
THUD!
The driver's airbag deployed, preventing the girl behind the wheel from being injured.
Simultaneously, the car's automatic braking system engaged.
The engine automatically stalled.
BANG!
The sports car's door opened, and the girl stepped out.
She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, tall at around 1.75 meters, and wore a form-fitting red dress that accentuated her perfect curves. Her face, flushed red, still carried a hint of hazy intoxication.
"A-are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?"
The girl looked at Qin Heng, panicked and immensely concerned.
She had been in a terrible mood today, so she had drunk quite a bit alone in her small suburban villa, hoping to drown her sorrows.
She hadn't planned on driving, but her family kept calling, urging her to return. Unable to get a cab in the suburbs, she had no choice but to drive herself.
Moreover, this road was rather secluded and rarely frequented; she had thought it would be safe.
But she never expected to actually hit someone!
Qin Heng was completely unscathed.
Forget a sports car; even an aircraft carrier colliding with him likely wouldn't have harmed a single hair on his head.
"It's nothing," Qin Heng said calmly, looking at the girl. "What's your name?"
"Huh?" The girl, slightly stunned, looked at Qin Heng in confusion. "My name is Ye Jiajia. A-are you really okay? Just now, my sports car..."
She trailed off, stunned.
She saw an incredibly clear handprint on the hood of the Rolls-Royce sports car. Then, looking at Qin Heng, who stood as firm as Mount Tai, she was utterly shocked.
Stopping a speeding Rolls-Royce with one hand!?
What kind of strength is that?!
"You—no, are you a Martial Artist?" Ye Jiajia's gaze towards Qin Heng changed instantly. She hailed from the Ye family, one of Longxi's eight great elite families. Although she was from a branch family and not the Legitimate Line, she knew very well what being a Martial Artist entailed.
A Martial Artist!
They possess strength far beyond an ordinary person's imagination!
In this era, with Spiritual Energy on the verge of revival, the strength of Martial Artists was becoming known. The power wielded by strong Martial Artists, in particular, was enough to make anyone's jaw drop in astonishment.
The Ye family also employed Martial Artists, so Ye Jiajia had a general understanding of the different cultivation Realms and capabilities of Martial Artists.
To stop a speeding sports car single-handedly, and with such apparent ease... Such strength probably means he's at least a Hidden Force master!
Hidden Force!
The entire Ye family only has three such experts, each hired for an annual salary of thirty million!
Ye Jiajia had also heard that the Family Head's personal bodyguard was a Half-step Grandmaster, someone who had surpassed Hidden Force. His annual salary was rumored to be one hundred million, plus shares and dividends from various Ye family businesses!
This young man before me, looking to be around my age, only eighteen or nineteen... could he really be a Hidden Force expert?
"A Martial Artist?" Qin Heng was momentarily surprised, then nodded slightly. Standing with his hands clasped behind his back, he said calmly, "I suppose so. Do you want to learn martial arts?"
"Huh???" Ye Jiajia was stunned again. She looked at the seemingly profound and enigmatic young man before her, wondering why he would suddenly ask such a question.
However, after a brief moment of stunned silence, inspiration seemed to strike her. She knelt directly before Qin Heng and said with utmost respect, "Disciple Ye Jiajia pays her respects to Master!"
The moment the word "Master" left her lips, Ye Jiajia felt her entire spiritual state shift. It was as if she had undergone a complete transformation, every part of her body feeling lighter.
The sensation was unprecedented!
Qin Heng looked at Ye Jiajia kneeling before him, a touch of emotion stirring in his heart. Taking Ye Jiajia as his disciple wasn't a decision made on a whim. In his previous life, he also had a disciple named Ye Jiajia. She had looked identical to the young woman before him now, and even her aura had been strikingly similar. However, the Ye Jiajia of his past life had been the Saintess of the "Supreme Universe Sect," a top-tier cultivation sect from the depths of the Starry Sky. She was a peerless genius who, at the mere age of five hundred, had cultivated to the Divinity Transformation Stage. Later, for various reasons, Ye Jiajia defected from the Supreme Universe Sect and became his disciple when he had already reached the Returning to Empty Realm. After he underwent Crossing Tribulation and ascended, she was ambushed and killed by the Supreme Universe Sect, her Dao dissipating with her death. Qin Heng, by then a Taiyi Golden Immortal, had descended to the Lower Realm in a fury. He swept across the cosmos, annihilating the entire Supreme Universe Sect to avenge his only disciple. He had never imagined that here on Earth, in this parallel world, there would also be a Ye Jiajia—not a Saintess of some grand cultivation sect, not even a Martial Artist, just an ordinary mortal.
What is the connection between my past life and this present one, between these two parallel worlds? Even with his current level of cultivation, he couldn't fully fathom this mystery. Taking this world's Ye Jiajia as his disciple was partly due to his past experiences and their connection, but more so because he wanted to use her as a key to glimpse the mysteries and differences between parallel worlds. This was a domain that not even those in the Eternal Realm had ever set foot in, likely falling under the purview of the Supreme Law. For Qin Heng, understanding it offered immense benefits. If he could thoroughly explore the relationships and mysteries between parallel worlds! He felt he might truly be able to achieve eternal, unhindered existence across all space and time within the Endless Multi-Universe, impervious to all calamities, forever indestructible, and step into an unprecedented, unknowable domain!
"Rise." With a gentle wave of his hand, Qin Heng helped Ye Jiajia to her feet. "Since you've called me Master, you are now my disciple. From your appearance, it seems you were trying to drown your sorrows?"
"Master, I..." Ye Jiajia blushed, about to explain, when suddenly her phone rang from her bag. She took it out, and her expression changed drastically upon seeing the caller. Reluctantly, she answered.
"Ye Jiajia! Do you have any idea what time it is? It's almost ten o'clock at night! Mr. Wu has been waiting here for over three hours!" an acerbic female voice, young yet haughty, snapped through the phone.
"WOOF! WOOF WOOF!!"
Simultaneously, the yapping of a puppy, sounding like a newborn full of energy, could be heard from the other end of the line.
"Liu Ma, take Er Gouzi to nurse," the girl on the phone said dismissively. Then she resumed scolding Ye Jiajia, "You must be home before ten! Otherwise, I'll send you to Mr. Wu's bed tonight. We won't even wait until next month!"
"..." Tears welled in Ye Jiajia's eyes. She bit her lip, deeply aggrieved. "Okay, I'll be there. I promise, I'll be there before ten!"
"Good that you know your place! Hmph!" The female voice on the phone snorted coldly before hanging up with a sharp CLICK.
