Who did this? It shouldn't be someone from the Magic Sect; otherwise, it would be a big issue. It is more likely from the Xiao Alliance.
Xiao Alliance had a Tier Six Illusion Master, Elder Grossey, but he was slain by Mei Guyu in Qi Yuan at the beginning of the year. Now there are at least three Tier Five Heart Stealers, named Menlu, Wenges, and Hilary.
Menlu was originally an elder of the Supreme Council. Not long ago, Hu Weidong nominated Wenges as the new elder, and she participated in the joint nomination, at least temporarily becoming an ally with Hu Weidong on this matter.
Wenges, the latest elder of the Xiao Alliance's Supreme Council. Hu Weidong specifically contacted He Kao recently, saying Wenges wants to secretly return to the Magic Sect to receive Secondary Inheritance.
As for Hilary, the Magic Sect has very little information and almost no knowledge of her situation.
Whether there are other masters in the Spirit Awakening Skill lineage of the Xiao Alliance is yet unknown. Even if there are unknown Tier Five Heart Stealers, the number is probably very small.
If a Tier Five Heart Stealer has infiltrated Qi Yuan, who could it be? Could it be Wenges? He might come to the Eastern Country because he wants to secretly contact the Magic Sect.
Mei Wenhua has reported the situation to the Ancestral Hall and also reminded He Kao to be cautious. If anything is found, they can communicate in a timely manner.
After discussing business, He Kao specially said, "Sixth Uncle, I saw Wang Yuheng in front of the noodle shop earlier. He was cooking sauces, and his setup clearly has some skills."
Mei Wenhua: "Oh, you still remember him?"
He Kao: "How could I forget! It was you who led the people to organize all the residents' information of Sesame Apartment and found this person's situation a bit strange. Elder Li personally investigated and dug out Jiaobide based on clues."
Mei Wenhua: "Yes, I heard you accompanied Elder Li to investigate this matter."
He Kao: "When did he learn martial arts? Did you take him as a disciple?"
Mei Wenhua pointed to the four-strand Ruyi noodles on the table: "Quickly eat the noodles, or they'll get soggy. We can talk while eating."
He Kao picked up chopsticks to eat noodles. While he was eating, Mei Wenhua briefly explained the whole story.
Becoming the boss of the noodle shop at Sesame Apartment's entrance was just a cover identity for action. It's no joke to say that Mei Wenhua's family has been running noodle shops for generations; it's practically ancestral craftsmanship.
After Mei Guyu slaughtered a group of Xiao Alliance masters, Qi Yuan has superficially returned to peace, and Mei Wenhua doesn't have much to do while staying here, merely running the noodle shop daily.
The noodle shop's business is good, so he took over the adjacent shop, expanding the dining area after connecting the stores. But he's here not for just running a noodle shop; he will eventually leave.
It would be a pity to abandon the noodle shop when the time comes. Even during his time in Qi Yuan, he has many other things to do. If someone can take over the operation and management, it would be best.
But finding a qualified person to manage even a small noodle shop isn't easy, let alone a popular internet-famous noodle shop... Boss Mei chose Wang Yuheng.
Mei Wenhua had long investigated Wang Yuheng's situation. This young man received higher education, his background is clean, especially his aptitude is very good, making him suitable for cultivation in Spirit Awakening Skill.
Why didn't He Kao notice this? Because he only met Wang Yuheng once, and it was during his sleep when he entered his dream. He hadn't the mind to research these, while Mei Wenhua's observation was more detailed and thorough.
Wang Yuheng often came to the noodle shop to eat, and Mei Wenhua would actively chat with him sometimes, gradually becoming familiar that way.
After graduating from college, Jiang Yuheng returned to his hometown, where his job was not ideal, but he hadn't made up his mind to resign because several factors had to be considered.
It was his previous university counselor, Luo Mingzhi, who encouraged him, prompting him to take action, resign, and come to Qi Yuan. If someone else had persuaded him, he might not have listened. But Luo Mingzhi was different; he secretly admired her during college.
When he arrived in Qi Yuan, he envisioned things well, but life is unpredictable, and soon after, something happened to Luo Mingzhi.
From Wang Yuheng's perspective, Luo Mingzhi's affair was too melodramatic, making it hard for him to accept.
He heard that Luo Mingzhi secretly got together with a visiting scholar from the school, even involving a murder and corpse disposal case over emotional disputes. The scholar disappeared, and Luo Mingzhi was taken by the police.
In his mind, Luo Mingzhi was mature, sexy, intellectual, and gentle, embodying all the beautiful imagination of women from his youthful days... Now the filter is shattered!
Wang Yuheng suddenly felt aimless, became depressed, and didn't know what to do. He couldn't focus on studying for exams, as if an invisible pillar in his heart mysteriously collapsed.
The apartment lease hadn't expired, so he still had a place to stay temporarily. But in his current state, finding a satisfactory job was difficult... Actually, he could still return to his hometown, but he was too ashamed to face his parents.
On that day, the heartbroken Jiang Yuheng went to eat at the noodle shop again, and Boss Mei asked if he was job hunting.
Wang Yuheng nodded, saying yes but hadn't found a suitable one yet. Then Mei Wenhua smilingly introduced him to a good job—to work in the noodle shop.
What kind of good job is this? But Old Mei painted a picture for Xiaowang, first asking him how the noodle shop's business was. The answer, of course, was very good; in a short time, it became Qi Yuan's internet-famous store.
