The ease with which Bian Yixia had just absorbed Song Sixing's Inner Qi was a dead giveaway.
One had to understand that Inner Qi was not something that could be absorbed indiscriminately unless one was using a Cultivation Skill specifically designed to devour and convert it.
Otherwise, absorbing it recklessly would most likely cause a conflict with one's own Inner Qi. At best, one would be injured; at worst, one would immediately suffer from qi deviation and become Fallen into Demon.
So, it would have been strange if her smooth absorption earlier hadn't revealed that something was wrong.

On the way here, Bian Yixia had started to excitedly tell Zou Feng about her vision for the future—how before long, the Black Flood Dragon Gang would have two Gang Qi Realm masters and unite all the gangs in Yuan Guang County.
But just as she saw a glimmer of hope, it was all shattered by Deng Guangxin's sudden return.
