Holding Rain

As a successful villainous BOSS, in addition to having ideas and aspirations, one must also keep in mind three points:
First, grow sneakily, don't act rashly (once a villain acts rashly, they basically won't survive past three chapters).
Second, you're not a good person, so be ruthless (becoming more evil will make you three times stronger, while redemption weakens you by seven times).
Third, remember the two points above. The moment you forget them, your end is probably on its way.

The Path of the Martial Arts BOSS

The deal was struck, and all that followed were pleasantries.


Qing Yu had only met Meng Yunfei a few times before, and their relationship was not as deep as that between Han Wenxin and himself. It was interests that spoke, and anything else was nonsense.


Thus, after having a few more drinks, Qing Yu stood up to take his leave.


His wounds had yet to heal, with blood occasionally seeping through his skin under the clothes. Qing Yu really wasn't in the mood for meaningless courtesies with Meng Yunfei.


After all, their relationship was based on interests. As long as this foundation remained stable, everything else was incidental and required no further consideration.


Hence, under the reluctant farewell of Meng Yunfei, Qing Yu boarded the carriage to return.


····················


After returning, Qing Yu did not immediately go into seclusion to heal. Instead, he went to the secret chamber and inquired the Pharmacist about the final steps of their plan.
