Chapter 11: The Inner Breath Emerges?

  When the sky revealed its first hint of dawn, Song Baiyu suddenly opened his eyes after being in a meditative state for an entire night.

  Silently sensing the situation within his body, Song Baiyu discovered that except for the internal energy cluster at the Qi Sea which had grown a bit larger, it still remained at the initial stage of refining Qi, without any signs of breakthrough. Song Baiyu knew that breaking through to a new realm wasn't easy and required deep accumulation or certain opportunities, so he didn't worry about it in his heart.

  "What's going on? Why has the internal energy at my dantian suddenly split into two different colors?" Song Baiyu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise as he carefully observed the internal energy cluster at his dantian once again.

  Normally, the color of internal energy is single and corresponds to the attribute of one's own cultivation method. However, I have only cultivated one method, so why would my internal energy have two colors? Looking at the internal energy sphere, half of it was green and the other half gray, with the two colors clearly separated yet tightly combined, without any overlap. Song Baiyu was perplexed.

  "Am I practicing the wrong way?" Song Baiyu thought for a while, still couldn't figure out why, and reluctantly went to trim the flowers.

  Half an hour later, after taking care of the potted plants from the first floor to the third floor, Song Baiyu still had doubts in his heart, but his mood had improved a lot. After tidying up, Song Baiyu began to play his worldly role again and started going to work at the police station.

  When Song Baiyu arrived at the police station, he discovered something astonishing.

  He saw two colleagues from the Public Security Section struggling to move the potted plants in the courtyard outside the police station, while the head of the Public Security Section, Lu Haitao, was carefully watering them with a watering can. They were all sweating profusely, obviously busy for quite some time.

  "Did these people all know their identities?" Song Baiyu gazed at the three busy people, but didn't immediately go up to talk to them.

  "Lu Ge, isn't this hard work supposed to be done by Song Baiyu? Why are you making us do it?" one of them complained discontentedly.

  "Yes, Brother Lu, when will it be our turn in the Security Section to do these rough jobs?" Another person also echoed in agreement.

  "Stop bothering me, you two. Which law says that only Song Boyu can do these things? Are you humiliated by doing these things? I'm still following your lead." Lu Haitao scolded in a bad mood. Half a month ago, after being reprimanded by Guo Tiezhu, he had already thought it through and realized that he might not be able to bully Song Boyu again. Remembering that Song Boyu was just back from vacation today, he harbored the intention of flattering him, lest Song Boyu hold grudges against his past wrongdoings.

  "Brother Lu, give us the lowdown. Is it true that Song Baiyu is going to be kicked out of the police station? That's why we've taken over these tasks temporarily?" One of the security guards chuckled and handed a cigarette to Lu Haitao, lit it for him, then asked in a low voice.

  "That's not right, even if Song Baiyu is fired, it's not our turn to do these rough jobs. At most, we can just ask the Four Seasons Green company to take over the maintenance of the company's greening again. Oh, I get it, Brother Lu must be thinking of taking over Song Baiyu's salary for this month to treat us to a drink." Another security guard took over the cigarette handed over by his colleague and analyzed with a self-satisfied tone.

  As they were talking, colleagues started coming to work one after another. Seeing what was happening at the police station entrance, everyone was discussing it, but no one knew what was going on.

  "This Lu Haitao usually isn't someone who bothers Song Boyu for no reason, so why is he doing him a favor today? Are they planning to play some new trick on Song Boyu?" Almost everyone had this question in mind, and when they saw Song Boyu standing silently in the corner, they became even more convinced of this idea.

  "Song Baiyu, what's going on here? Have you been bullied again?" Lu Shuyuan stood by in surprise for a long time, still not understanding what was happening. Out of concern for Song Baiyu, she walked over to him and asked softly.

  Upon hearing Luo Shuyuan's voice, Song Boyu turned his head around, a hint of puzzlement in his eyes. Isn't this Luo Shuyuan supposed to be his arch-nemesis? Would she actually care about him?

  Song Baiyu shook his head and didn't say a word, but his attitude towards Luo Shuyuan was extremely indifferent.

  Lu Shuwen didn't expect Song Baiyu to have this attitude towards her. Thinking of all the hard work she had done for Song Baiyu in the past few days, she couldn't help but let out a cold snort and cursed "deserved to die" before turning around and striding into the police station without looking back.

  "Song Ge, you're here! Take a look at these flowers we've arranged. Is the position right? If not, we'll rearrange them immediately according to your instructions." Lu Haitao was watering while smoking, and his eyes accidentally swept to Song Baiyu standing silently on the side. His hand holding the water bottle shook, almost dropping it, and he hastily smiled and asked for guidance.

  Lu Haitao's performance caused the onlookers who were waiting for a show to drop their glasses, and Luo Shuyuan, who had just walked into the police station, stumbled upon hearing this. With a "bang", her head hit the door frame, and she turned around with complex eyes, only to see Song Boyu still standing there calmly, as if nothing had happened.

  "Clang", "clang" two sounds, the two colleagues from the Security Department were carrying a potted landscape out, and saw their superior calling Song Baiyu "Brother Song", with a flattering expression on his face. But Song Baiyu stood there calmly, not even glancing at his superior, leaving them stunned. The potted landscape in their hands began to fall freely, heavily smashing onto their feet.

  "Ah yo……" Half a day later, the two colleagues from the Public Security Bureau finally came back to their senses after being shocked, feeling the severe pain in their feet, and shouted loudly. However, the people around them couldn't help but burst into laughter at this commotion.

  Although Song Baiyu's temperament was calm and composed, he couldn't help but be amused by the farce performed by his two colleagues from the Public Security Bureau.

  "What's going on here? What's all the commotion about? Can't you see I'm busy? Get back to work at once!" A stern voice rang out, and it was Guo Tiezhu who had arrived.

  As soon as Guo Tiezhu's voice was heard, the police officers who were watching the commotion swarmed into the office building. Even Luo Shuyuan suppressed her inner doubts and quickly walked into the office building.

  At this time, outside the wall of the police station, only Song Baiyu, Guo Tiezhu, Lu Haitao and two other colleagues from the Public Security Bureau were left.

  "Lu Haitao, what's going on here?" Guo Tiezhu asked sternly after scanning the surroundings.

  Lu Haitao's "melancholic" eyes glanced at Song Boyu before he clearly explained what had just happened.

  "A bunch of useless things, can't even handle such a small matter, hurry up and send the two of them to the hospital, waiting for passersby to laugh at?" Seeing that it was already time to go to work, people on the road were gradually gathering, Guo Tiezhu scolded.

  Although Guo Tiezhu scolded himself, he didn't get angry. Lu Haitao knew that what he did today was right and had a higher opinion of Song Boyu's identity. After respectfully greeting Guo Tiezhu, he enthusiastically bid farewell to Song Boyu before shouting at two subordinates to get into the police car and quickly heading to the hospital.

  "After Lu Haitao left, Guo Tiezhu turned around, but found himself unsure what to call Song Boyu."

  After knowing that Song Baiyu had a very terrible background, Guo Tiezhu was extremely embarrassed. In fact, he wanted to talk to Song Baiyu yesterday, but he hesitated for half a day and didn't think of how to face Song Baiyu, so he avoided Song Baiyu. Unexpectedly, they still met this morning and couldn't avoid each other.

  "Director Guo, how did you address me before and how do you address me now? I don't want others to know my identity." Song Baiyu said calmly as he saw Guo Tiezhu's awkward appearance in front of him.

  Guo Tiezhu was taken aback by the words, he knew that Song Baiyu had already known the reason for his sudden change in attitude towards him.

  "Then, when there's no one around, I can call you Bo Yu, right?" Knowing Song Bo Yu's identity, Guo Tiezhu was too afraid to call out his full name again, and asked nervously.

  Song Baiyu hesitated for a moment, nodded his head. He also understood Guo Tiezhu's difficulties and he wanted to continue staying at the Chengxi police station, nor did he want to make things difficult for Guo Tiezhu.

  Seeing Song Baiyu nodding, Guo Tiezhu let out a sigh of relief. Guo Tiezhu knew that Song Baiyu didn't hold grudges against him for his previous coldness towards him, and his position was temporarily secure.

  "Ba Yu, why don't you consider switching to a different job position? I can arrange for someone else to do these physically demanding tasks?" Guo Tiezhu asked cautiously.

  Song Baiyu shook his head, "No need to, the current job is pretty good. Also, don't let that Lu Haitao be overly enthusiastic for no reason, lest people discover something unusual, I don't want to change my current life."

  "Uh, I'll warn him later." Guo Tiezhu nodded, although puzzled as to why Song Baiyu wanted to keep a low profile in his police station, he didn't dare continue asking questions. "By the way, the vice governor is coming to the city today for an inspection, you know that, right?"

  Song Baiyu nodded, he had already learned about this matter from his sister Song Yuqing, and it was precisely because of this that he took a half-month leave and rushed back today to report for duty.

  Seeing Song Baiyu nod, Guo Tiezhu secretly sighed and thought to himself: "I knew it. I was wondering how this kid managed to take leave at such an accurate time, not a single day more or less, and he just so happens to be back today."

  The city had known a month ago that the vice governor would come to inspect the work, but it was only three days ago that they knew the exact time of the vice governor's arrival in Jinyang City. So for this whole month, the municipal party committee and government have been nervously preparing every day. Guo Tizhu also remembered that Song Boyu's vacation date coincided with the vice governor's arrival date, so he tentatively asked a question, unexpectedly getting himself into trouble. It seems that Song Boyu's abilities should not be underestimated, and he needs to find ways to get along with him in the future.

  Thinking of this, Guo Tiezhu smiled and said: "Then it's settled. If Bai Yu has any requirements, please let me know as soon as possible. I'll go arrange the work first."

  "You go ahead and busy yourself, I'll speak up when it's time to trouble Director Guo." Song Baiyu nodded, too lazy to ponder Guo Tiezhu's thoughts.

  Watching Guo Tiezhu leave with a forced calm back, Song Boyu shook his head, it seems that in the future, Guo Tiezhu will not dare to say anything casual to himself.

  Song Baiyu picked up the potted landscape that two colleagues from the Public Security Bureau had broken, and then moved all the potted landscapes in the courtyard out. In the next few days, the vice provincial governor was coming to Jinyang City, and whether or not he would come to the Chengxi Police Station, a necessary welcoming ceremony still had to be set up.

  It wasn't until two hours later that all this was done. During this time, Song Baiyu saw many colleagues coming in and out, much busier than usual. He knew that the vice governor would be arriving soon, and these people must have been doing a good job of ensuring safety.

  After going to the office building and walking around for a while, Song Baiyu left the police station with nothing to do, which was also his consistent style.
