Chapter 1179 — Now I've Let It Slip "I saw it." Wei Zhao smiled. "So how is that lion doing now?"

Even as they spoke, Qiu Lingshan's phone rang again. Her heart leapt — she thought it was Wei Zhao calling back, having changed his mind! But when she took out the phone and looked, it was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello, this is Qiu Lingshan." She answered in a businesslike tone and gave her name.
"Lingshan, it's Yufeng!" Xie Yufeng said, a little excitedly, thinking: her voice really is lovely, like music from heaven — even one plain sentence carries such charm.
"Yufeng? What do you want with me?" Qiu Lingshan frowned, her expression darkening. She had not expected this Yufeng to call her so soon! The man truly had no shame — he had just lost face in front of her today, and he wasn't even embarrassed; he still had the nerve to call?
"Heh, it's like this — I was looking around the seaside today, you see? The scenery and the surroundings are lovely here. I heard you're off tomorrow, so I wanted to invite you to come out to the beach, have some fun, relax a bit!" Xie Yufeng said with a smile. "Lingshan, your work is stressful too. Coming to the seaside would let you unwind, enjoy nature a little. We could have a picnic — how about it?"
Qiu Lingshan was seething inside. This Xie Yufeng had done his homework, hadn't he? He even knew she had tomorrow off?
"Are your injuries better? Weren't you going to the hospital today? What, discharged already?" Qiu Lingshan said flatly. Her meaning was plain: you got beaten that badly, and instead of resting quietly in the hospital for treatment, what are you running around for?
"Lingshan, don't misunderstand — I didn't actually get hurt fighting someone today. I had myself beaten on purpose!" Xie Yufeng had already worked out what to say; to save face, he had found himself a perfect excuse.
"Oh? You deliberately had someone beat you?" Qiu Lingshan was stunned. Were there such fools in the world? Deliberately seeking a beating? Had his skin started itching?
"Yes!" Xie Yufeng said gravely. "Lingshan, this is in fact a method of leveling up that I invented myself! I call this way of advancing 'the cadence method'! What is cadence? It means there is suppression and there is release. Whenever I'm about to break through and hit a bottleneck, I use this cadence method of advancement! First I suppress myself — that is, I have people beat me, and I don't fight back, I simply endure! Then, when I can endure no more, I erupt all at once, and I break through and level up!"
"So you broke through?" Qiu Lingshan asked mildly.
"Yes, I broke through!" Xie Yufeng said, not without pride. "I'm a mid-stage Profound Rank expert now!"
"Weren't you already mid-stage Profound Rank before?" Qiu Lingshan frowned.
