50,000,000!

Master Yang had never seen so much money in the decades he had been running his noodle shop!

Now, to think that a bowl of noodles could earn 50,000,000?!

After hearing this, Master Yang was completely dumbfounded, but he quickly realized that it was not because his noodles were worth 50,000,000. It was all because of that young man who, despite being a stranger, seemed very familiar to him!

This Manager Liu was only willing to pay 50,000,000 just to please this young man, all for a bowl of noodles!

Too terrifying! What on Earth was his identity?!

"This... this seems too much," Master Yang said hesitantly. It wasn't that he didn't want the 50,000,000, but he didn't dare accept it, fearing that Manager Liu might settle scores later.

"Master Yang, you shouldn't overthink it. This really is just an investment because I find your noodles so delicious, haha!" Manager Liu said with a chuckle. "Just give me your bank account number later, and I'll transfer the 50,000,000 to you this afternoon."

Manager Liu's reason was clearly far-fetched; any sensible person would know it was just an excuse. However, it did reveal Manager Liu's attitude. It was clear that he was determined to give Master Yang the 50,000,000, almost as if he was using it to buy peace of mind. If Master Yang refused, it would probably make him even more anxious.

The people around them had realized this too. As the person involved, Master Yang naturally saw through this. After a moment of silence, he finally nodded.

Seeing this, Manager Liu finally let out a sigh of relief.

He knew that Qin Heng's words had actually offered him an opportunity for redemption. If he failed to grasp it, he might have been finished on the spot. Even if he had grasped it, if Master Yang didn't accept the 50,000,000, he wouldn't achieve his goal of redemption. In the end, he would likely have been done for anyway.

Now that Master Yang was willing to accept the 50,000,000, the weight hanging over Manager Liu's heart had finally been lifted.

"Haha, Master Yang, you can rest easy," Manager Liu laughed. "Also, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, just call me directly, and I'll do my utmost to solve them for you!"

His attitude was incredibly humble, leaving some of the onlookers in disbelief. Was this really the same Manager Liu who was always so aloof and never looked people in the eye? The change was too abrupt! And all of this was because of the young man eating noodles! Truly incredible!

"Alright, then thank you, Manager Liu," Master Yang nodded and then turned to Qin Heng. "And I need to thank Mr. Qin here as well. Really, I am very grateful."

"No, I should be the one thanking you," Qin Heng said with a smile, looking at Master Yang. "Thank you."

This "thank you" confused the onlookers. Even Master Yang himself didn't understand what was happening, as he didn't remember ever meeting Qin Heng. He was completely baffled.

Only Qin Heng himself understood. His "thank you" was actually spoken on behalf of his self from his previous life. The thanks were for the Master Yang from Earth in his previous life. The Master Yang of this parallel world was merely accepting his gratitude in that one's stead.

「A moment later.」

Qin Heng finished his noodles, and Wu Yuqing did as well. After paying the bill, they left the Zhajiang Noodle Shop.

By this time, it was already noon. The sun in Beijing was intensely scorching, making one's skin feel hot. Girls like Wu Yuqing would typically not venture out in such weather. Qin Heng noticed her discomfort. So, he escorted Wu Yuqing back to Media University. He also planned to return to his dormitory at Beijing University to rest and sort through the insights from his sudden enlightenment that day.

…

「Beijing University, inside a dormitory building.」

Qin Heng sat cross-legged on his bed, his Divine Sense in quiet contemplation, discerning the Supreme Law he had comprehended during his sudden enlightenment earlier that day. During his sudden enlightenment, although he could clearly sense the profound mysteries of the Supreme Law, the experience itself had been very rushed and not detailed. The significant insights gained required gradual and thorough digestion.

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

The sound of knocking suddenly erupted, interrupting Qin Heng's thoughts. He frowned. His Divine Sense spread out, and he immediately identified who was knocking at the door.

Three students: one male and two females. They appeared to be about twenty years old, probably sophomores or juniors.

Qin Heng did not recognize these three. However, just as he was about to get up to open the door, the dormitory door suddenly trembled violently!

BOOM!

The door to Qin Heng's dormitory was actually torn off. The male student, holding the doorknob, walked in arrogantly and threw the door aside with a CLANG.

After glancing at Qin Heng with a look of disdain, he said indifferently, "You must be Qin Heng, right? Come with us to the student council. Our Discipline Department's Chair wants to meet you."

Clearly, this male student was no ordinary person. Beijing University is a century-old institution; the facilities in its dorms were old but of good quality. An ordinary person definitely couldn't have ripped a dormitory door off its hinges so effortlessly.

Qin Heng's eyes narrowed slightly. He instantly saw through the male student: a Martial Artist at the Hidden Force level. The two female students behind him were at the Open Force level.

College is ultimately different from high school. Especially at a leading institution like Beijing University, it wasn't surprising to find Martial Artists among the students. There were likely substantial numbers of them, and there might even be student organizations composed purely of Martial Artists.

"Why aren't you speaking? Feeling defiant?" The male student, seeing Qin Heng's silence, felt immediately insulted, especially with two girls standing behind him. His anger flared instantly.

"The clamor of an ant holds no interest for me," Qin Heng glanced at him indifferently and said, "Go back. Whoever wants to see me, tell them to come themselves."

"Qin Heng! Who do you think you are?"

The male student felt provoked. His dignity as a senior had been ignored! He trembled with rage, pointed at Qin Heng, and snarled through clenched teeth, "Do you think you're so tough just because you're a Half-step Grandmaster? Don't be so arrogant!"

"Qin Heng," one of the female students stepped forward, her expression earnest. "We are officially notifying you. Because you, a Half-step Grandmaster, attacked a military training instructor and used a Martial Artist's power to harm an ordinary person, you have violated the regulations of our student council's Discipline Department. Beijing University is China's top institution. Here, we have not only the nation's top students but also the country's top young Martial Artists."

The other female student scoffed contemptuously at Qin Heng. "A Half-step Grandmaster is indeed powerful, but compared to our Discipline Department's Chair, you are nothing! Among the students at Beijing University, there are ten Grandmasters of Transcendence. Our Chair is one of them!"

The male student pointed at Qin Heng's nose. "Qin Heng! Don't be so unappreciative! You're lucky to even receive an invitation from our Chair—you should be grateful!"

"If your Chair wants to see me, tell him to come here with three kneelings and nine kowtows to beg for an audience." Qin Heng closed his eyes, resuming his meditation, and said indifferently, "You can all get lost now."
