So, Ren Tianye really didn't need to use this method to give this thing to Qianxi. Such a gesture didn't serve any purpose for Ren Tianye pursuing Qianxi. Thus, the whole event fell into a paradox over the deliberate nature of Ren Tianye's actions, "Let's just assume it was unintentional." Xiao Yifei sighed, trying not to think about it anymore.

Hearing this, Liu Rui nodded. Indeed, now that the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle was in hand, there seemed no need to delve into how it was obtained. "Then I'll keep it," Xiao Yifei said, tucking the box into his chest, where there were six other silver needles.

Seeing Xiao Yifei put the item away, Liu Rui smiled and said, "Now Qingxi's aftereffects should be cured." Hearing Liu Rui's cheerful tone, Xiao Yifei couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Liu Rui, thinking he must have endured a lot of Qianxi's ire before to be so happy.

Returning to the company, Ren Tianye looked very downcast. That evening, he called his assistant and went to a small tavern together. The assistant had some vague guesses about his boss's actions—coming to drink meant he was certainly heartbroken.

The waiter brought one bottle of liquor after another, and Ren Tianye accepted them all. After a few rounds, Ren Tianye was already unapologetically drunk, as was his assistant, both slumped over the table like puddles of mud.

"Boss, your pursuit of Qianxi has been found out by the higher-ups." After a long while, even though the assistant didn't want to bring this up, he ended up mentioning it due to the effects of alcohol. Hearing this, Ren Tianye seemed indifferent. Seeing this, the assistant continued, "The higher-ups said they'd punish you."

Upon hearing this, Ren Tianye finally showed some reaction, "Punish me? How?" His voice sounded rather hollow, but even so, he lifted a glass of wine and drank it all in one go.

Seeing Ren Tianye drink, the assistant also picked up his wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, then said, swaying, "The higher-ups took away several of your channels."

Hearing this, Ren Tianye couldn't help but curse. To him, those channels were his main source of income, and with several taken away, his assets were bound to shrink significantly. Thinking of this, Ren Tianye drank another glass of murky wine.

The companies of these higher-ups mainly engaged in collecting antiquities, and those channels were the places where these antiquities were run away to. Without places to run away to, what income could they talk about, which is why Ren Tianye cursed.

"But Boss, did you manage to get that woman?" The assistant was very curious about Ren Tianye's progress. Hearing this, Ren Tianye seemed unwilling to discuss the matter and said slowly, "No."

Hearing Ren Tianye say no, the assistant got anxious, "Boss, someone turned you down? How high must that woman's standards be?" Saying this, the assistant put on a disdainful expression, as if his boss was the innocent party in the whole affair. Hearing the assistant say this, Ren Tianye let out a bitter laugh.

"Ah, it's not that easy, no matter how great I am, she might just not like me." Ren Tianye's eyes became distant, and in his mind flashed the scene of Liu Rui holding Qianxi. "Drink, drink," Ren Tianye suddenly raised his glass, gesturing with his glass to the assistant. Seeing this, the assistant hurriedly picked up his glass and clinked it with Ren Tianye's glass, but he didn't answer the assistant's question at all.

"Oh, I might have just gotten too mesmerized by Qianxi." After downing a glass, Ren Tianye couldn't help but lament. The tavern's design was romantic, and the moonlight outside shone through the thin windows into this little tavern.

The white moonlight perfectly matched Ren Tianye's current state of mind. With the winds blowing and the moonlight rippling, Ren Tianye again drained his glass, looking at the moonlight. "By the way, Boss, the higher-ups said they want the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle and asked you to hand it over quickly." At this moment, the assistant brought up the work matter again.

Upon hearing this, Ren Tianye chuckled bitterly. They asked him to bring it, then told him to wait, and now they're urgent? Ultimately, without that Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, there probably wouldn't be so many problems now. Ren Tianye attributed everything to the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle.

But the current task wasn't like they thought. The higher-ups wanted the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, and Ren Tianye truly didn't have it. This, Ren Tianye knew because that Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle was lost by him—or rather, it was given to someone else.

Ren Tianye sighed deeply and said, "The Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle is no longer with me." Hearing Ren Tianye say the green-eyed silver needle was gone, the assistant was instantly shocked. Just a few days ago, the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle was still safely in his boss's hand. How did it suddenly disappear?

Seeing the assistant's puzzled look, Ren Tianye shook his head helplessly and said, "I gave it away." When Ren Tianye said this, he seemed utterly carefree, as if the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle in his hand was an insignificant thing. But the assistant didn't think so; this item was important to the higher-ups, how could it just be given away?

Thinking of this, the assistant suddenly exclaimed, "Boss, you didn't give it to that woman Qianxi, did you?" The assistant, upon hearing this news, immediately became a little sober. Ren Tianye simply chuckled and nodded. Indeed, the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle was given to Qianxi by Ren Tianye, but Ren Tianye had no regrets, instead feeling a bit pleased.

Seeing this, the assistant shook his head helplessly, "Boss, how could you be so casual? Even if you like her, you shouldn't give away something the higher-ups want." The assistant's tone was full of helplessness because, once given, could it really be taken back? So, besides feeling helpless, the assistant really couldn't think of any other expression to face Ren Tianye.

"Ah, men in love." The assistant said, clinking his glass against Ren Tianye's glass, then drank his own drink without a glance at Ren Tianye. After drinking, the assistant slowly sighed, "Boss, you'd better think about how to resolve this with the higher-ups."

However, after speaking, nobody responded, so the assistant glanced at Ren Tianye opposite him. Only then did he realize Ren Tianye had already fallen asleep on the table, mumbling in his sleep.

Seeing this, the assistant didn't know whether to laugh or cry, hoping this drunken night would pass quickly.

After Xiao Yifei got the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, he began preparing to solve the problem of Qianxi's cultivation technique aftereffects. Initially, when Qianxi heard Xiao Yifei had gotten the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, she was very skeptical, but seeing the needle, she believed it.

However, just like Xiao Yifei initially did, Qianxi was still suspicious of this and that. But Xiao Yifei just told her that having the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle was enough, and she didn't need to pursue anything else. If nothing else, she could consider it as a gift from Ren Tianye. After Xiao Yifei said this, Qianxi thought Ren Tianye was a good person.
