The following days were undoubtedly sweet for Song Baiyu and Su Tingting, as Su Tingting often went to the police station to pick up Song Baiyu after work, while Song Baiyu would also go to "escort" her home when Su Tingting closed her stall.

  Upon learning that Song Baiyu had his three meals a day outside, Su Tingting imperiously ordered Song Baiyu to only eat the loving meals she personally cooked from then on. Although they weren't as luxurious as those in restaurants, they made up for it with their exquisiteness and thoughtfulness. Even if it was just plain coarse grains, Song Baiyu's appetite would greatly increase, delighting Su Tingting so much that her smile reached her eyes.

  As Song Baiyu spent more time with Su Tingting, he found himself increasingly fond of her, without any ulterior motives, a purely platonic affection. Given his financial situation, Song Baiyu had the means to improve Su Tingting's living conditions, but he didn't take immediate action. On one hand, he liked Su Tingting's current simplicity and purity; on the other hand, he feared that she might reject his help.

  The people at the police station in Chengxi were surprised to find that Song Bo Yu, who used to like to leave early, suddenly stopped leaving early and instead punched in and out on time every day. He also had a smile on his face all day long, which made him look much more handsome and caused many policewomen to flutter with excitement.

  After Luo Shuyuan took over as the head of the Chengxi Police Station, she wanted to make an issue out of Song Boyu's frequent absenteeism. However, Song Boyu's sudden change left her at a loss, and every time she saw him, she was so angry that she didn't even ask for his opinion and directly transferred his interpersonal relationships to the Criminal Police Department.

  Song Baiyu originally thought that every day would be busy with work and dating, which would definitely delay his cultivation progress. As a result, he found out it wasn't like that at all.

  Previously, Song Baiyu focused on physical strength, Taoist skills and internal energy cultivation, neglecting his mental state cultivation. As a result, his internal energy cultivation reached the late stage of Qi Refining, but his mental state remained at the early stage of Qi Refining. Once he truly engaged in combat with others, he was unable to exert his full strength due to the influence of his mental state cultivation. However, half a month of ordinary life allowed Song Baiyu's mental state cultivation to make rapid progress, catching up with his internal energy cultivation and also reaching the late stage of Qi Refining.

  "No wonder many Xianmen schools require their disciples to go down the mountain for training, and the training period can last for decades. It turns out that entering the world has such benefits, it's laughable that I only knew how to practice crazily in my previous life, so much so that when I transcended my tribulation, my heart was heavy with demons." Having understood this principle, Song Baiyu no longer practiced as crazily as before, but instead opened up and held a ordinary heart, letting everything happen naturally.

  Happy days always pass especially quickly, Song Baiyu and Su Tingting are immersed in the sweet world of two people every day, and two months have passed in a flash.

  In the villa of the Tong Xiang Xiaoqu, Song Baiyu looked at the sandalwood box on the tea table. He was frowning and his hands were flying around, his forehead had already sweated fine beads of sweat, and his eyes also showed deep fatigue.

  It has been two months since Song Baiyu got the Danjin wooden box. He originally thought that he would be able to open it within ten days or half a month, but he found that the Taiyi formation on the box had new changes when it reached the last few formations. To avoid losing all his efforts, Song Baiyu had no choice but to become more cautious, and as a result, the time to open the Danjin wooden box was delayed indefinitely.

  In these two months, Song Baiyu did not stop his own practice, whether it was tempering his bones and muscles or mastering the Spring and Autumn Decisive Martial Skills and internal energy, he made great progress.

  Song Baiyu can now smoothly use the third form of Chunqiu Decisive, and his inner strength has reached the peak of the late stage of Lianqi. He can break through the Lianqi period and enter the Taixi period at any time. Once he enters the Taixi period, it means that Song Baiyu has stepped from acquired to innate, and the inner strength in the depths of his Dantian will also transform into true energy.

  Actually, Song Baiyu now wants to break through the boundary, that is, the matter of the Jingyuan Dan. He has the Jingyuan Dan in his hand, but he hasn't taken it. Song Baiyu, who had experience in cultivating truth in his previous life, understood a principle: the longer the internal energy can be suppressed when approaching a breakthrough, the more the corresponding power will increase several times after the boundary is broken.

  Of course, this is not to say that the cultivator should stop cultivating when they can break through a boundary, but rather continue to cultivate even when they are able to break through, without attempting to charge into the next boundary unless their physical body can no longer withstand the violent impact of the internal energy and must break through.

  Song Baiyu was still struggling with the sandalwood box when the doorbell rang inopportunely.

  "Sister, how did you come?" Song Baiyu still thought it was Su Tingting, but after opening the door, he found that it was his own sister Song Yuqing.

  "What, not welcome?" Song Yuqing was dressed in a typical professional woman's attire, with a gray and white striped short-sleeved shirt that revealed her icy skin on her arms, a light gray tube skirt, shiny silk stockings, and long hair tied back with an amber-colored jade pin, giving off a mature and steady impression.

  "What's wrong with you, sister? You came to Jinyang and didn't even give me a call. Let me come pick you up myself." Song Boyu said while taking the suitcase from Song Yuqing's hand, although it was his first time seeing Song Yuqing, he didn't feel any strangeness at all.

  "Hmm, this is pretty good, not bad for the pain I went through for you." Song Yuqing heard this and smiled sweetly, casually taking off her black-framed glasses, suddenly looking much brighter.

  "Huh, how did a pair of women's slippers end up in your house? There's definitely something fishy going on." Song Yuqing exclaimed as she was changing her shoes and found a cute Barbie rabbit slipper in the shoe cabinet besides her own.

  "That... this year's popular style, I specially bought it for my sister." Song Baiyu's face turned red as he said unnaturally.

  "Do you dare to look into my eyes and repeat what you just said?" Song Yuanching looked at Song Boyu with a sly smile, his face full of laughter. "Haha, great, little brother has finally stopped having a one-sided love."

  Song Yuqing and Song Boyu are very close, and Song Yuqing is well aware of Song Boyu's emotional experiences. Zhou Yanran was cold and cruel to Song Boyu, and Song Yuqing had long been disgusted with her, but she didn't say anything out of consideration for Song Boyu's feelings. Now that she sees Song Boyu has walked out of the emotional shadow, she is naturally happy for him.

  "Hurry up and tell me about the future sister-in-law, she's too powerful, she can actually surpass Zhou Yanran, turn around and take her back to the capital, and make Zhou Yanran angry to death." Song Yuancheng saw that Song Boyu didn't dare to speak, knowing that he had guessed the truth, and immediately became excited.

  Seeing his sister's curious look, Song Baiyu couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart. I guess my sister has been looking forward to this day for a long time?

  Song Baiyu didn't hide anything and told his sister about Su Tingting's situation in great detail.

  "It's like that, huh? Then things are a bit complicated... You know Dad is an old stubborn..." After listening to Song Baiyu's words, Song Yuqing furrowed her brow, but soon she let out a sigh and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I've got this covered. I'll definitely make sure you two end up together."

  "Hmm, your house is decorated too beautifully, no wonder you've had a taste of foreign ink." Song Yuqing only then saw the potted landscapes filling the room, and she couldn't help but open her arms wide, greedily taking in two deep breaths.

  "Sister, if your colleagues knew you were usually like this, would their glasses fall off? Seeing his sister showing her true nature in front of him, Song Baiyu's face broke into a smile. "Here, have a cup of chrysanthemum tea, you must be thirsty from the long journey."

  Song Yuqing took the jasmine tea handed over by Song Boyu without hesitation, put it to her lips and took a light sip, saying carelessly: "Normally dressing up as an old lady is tiring enough, can't sister be young for once?"

  "Sister, you've worked hard." Song Baiyu knew that he had dragged his sister down. If he was willing to follow the family's arrangement and enter politics, his sister would not be as tired as she is now. It can be said that his sister is suffering for him. "Sister, how long do you plan to stay in Jinyang City this time? I'll take you around to have some fun?"

  "It all depends on the old man's intention." Song Yuanching pouted and said, "After a series of compromises and exchanges at home, I was promoted to be the mayor of Jinyang City."

  "Ah..." Song Baiyu knew that the old man his sister mentioned was "his own" grandfather, and also the helmsman of the family, but he had never thought that his sister would come to Jinyang City to take office.

  "Sister has always been very fond of you, you must be willing to give me this beautiful villa as a promotion gift, right?" Seeing Song Baiyu's stunned expression, Song Yuanqing suddenly leaned in close to Song Baiyu and said with a eager face.

  "Sister, you wouldn't be so ruthless, would you?" Knowing that his sister had never been polite to him, Song Baiyu didn't dare to relax at this time. After all, he had made a lot of renovations in this villa and there was the Spirit Gathering Array, something that defied heaven, how could he easily let it go?

  "Alas, why am I so pitiful? However, for the sake of my sister-in-law, I won't compete with you." Song Yuqing saw Song Baiyu's painful expression and didn't continue to make things difficult for him. Instead, she reluctantly looked at the exquisite potted landscapes that filled the room and sighed: "But others really do like these beautiful potted landscapes."

  Seeing that his sister was no longer set on hitting her own villa, Song Baiyu let out a sigh of relief and hastily responded: "So, sis likes these potted landscapes? Don't forget this is your brother's specialty! How about this, I'll buy you a villa in this neighborhood and be in charge of the decoration. I guarantee you'll be satisfied, okay?"

  "This is just about right!" Upon hearing Song Baiyu's words, Song Yuqing immediately smiled brightly and nodded in satisfaction.

  “……”

  The brother and sister had a long-awaited reunion, and naturally they had a lot to talk about. For a while, the house was filled with laughter, warm and cozy.
