Fire Drum’s eyes suddenly blurred.
"Piano?"
She tried hard to see the other person.
Earlier, whether it was an assault or a burst of attack, it was only her alone, the other Piano didn’t see a trace.
But what she could see was just a small mass of flesh and blood on the ground, with only a faint glimpse of Piano’s clothes.
This was the last thing she could see.
The black-cloaked figure casually discarded Fire Drum’s corpse, and with a flick of his hand, two jewelry-like items flew out directly from Fire Drum and the corpse of Piano on the ground.
They were a small silver drum and a small silver ball, with an exquisite little piano inside the ball.
Putting away the items, a flash of black light appeared in the basent.
Both corpses suddenly vanished without a trace.
*****************
Yang Kaiguang’s face was grim.
He stood in the manor he had chosen as the encampnt.
All three Black Envoys were severely injured by the inexplicable assault from the enemy earlier.
If it weren’t for one of the lords resorting to using a self-destruct threat with a trump card... probably none of them would have survived.
Just when he planned to return for revenge, he encountered such trouble...
The frustration in Yang Kaiguang’s heart was obvious to everyone present.
"Lord, what should we do now?"
A subordinate Source Energy wielder approached and asked. Although he called him "lord," his tone wasn’t particularly respectful.
To a person who wasn’t a Source Energy wielder, and also a foreigner, those present who were Source Energy wielders didn’t think highly of this fellow.
It was rely due to a written order from the overall command headquarters that they had to follow Yang Kaiguang’s command.
"What to do? With the Black Envoys severely injured, what can we do? Withdraw first! Wait for subsequent support, this place has been exposed, it’s not a place we should stay."
Yang Kaiguang, after all, was soone who could compete with Yang Qing for the position of Family Head, his mind wasn’t foolish, only his strength was a bit lacking.
Otherwise, the central command of the Empire wouldn’t have delegated him to command operations.
"Understood."
The remaining Source Energy wielders quickly transmitted orders, leading people to retreat separately.
Only Yang Kaiguang stood there, clenching his fists.
He understood that with this withdrawal, it would be truly hard to have such a good opportunity to kill Yang Qing again.
Without sufficient benefits, it’s impossible to motivate the high-levels of the Empire.
This retreat might an waiting for a very, very long ti.....
********************
Ti passed.
Several months had passed since the Primordial Stone incident.
Eternal Star City gradually regained its calm.
The death of the specially appointed Source Energy wielder from the Source Energy Bureau was quickly pinned with so seemingly obscure reasons, frad onto the Empire’s rival faction, the high-level spies of the Empire of Stars.
Everything beca calm and smooth again.
After this event, Lin Xin quickly opened his bookstore.
Right next to a middle school near the outer ring in the city center.
Nad "Quiet Heart Haven," it specialized in student textbooks and various peculiar books.
Once the bookstore opened, it didn’t disturb anyone from the Yang Family; everyone who wanted to co and support was directly turned away by Lin Xin.
Only Ruan Rujun and Yang Songyu sent two flower baskets placed beside the bookshelves at the entrance.
The bookstore business was good, managing to buy such a sizeable store at the school gate indeed drew on the Yang Family’s Dixing Group connection.
But Lin Xin managed it well too. The two-story bookstore, he hired a few employees, and fixed the book supply channels.
Because of the tranquil environnt, the incoming books were popular, and the store gradually flourished.
Though not wealthy, living a comfortably well-off life in Eternal Star City seed quite easy.
At ho, his father, Yang Qing, previously appeared anxious, seemingly worrying about sothing. But later, after receiving unknown news, suddenly his mood lightened up.
He restarted managing the group’s affairs, and his spirits improved significantly compared to before.
Yang Chen was still honestly interning, unchanged, he even didn’t notice any change at ho.
Ruan Rujun, without any eligibility for adaptability, still often returned to Eternal Star City, planning to enter the Source Energy Bureau to work as a clerical staff after graduation.
In her free ti, she liked visiting Lin Xin’s bookstore.
As for Yang Songyu, after experiencing that event, she filled her schedule every day.
After returning to the academy, she trained hard and made significant progress.
This peaceful life lasted for three years.
Yang Songyu and Ruan Rujun finally graduated.
Their choices beca distinct due to graduation.
Yang Songyu directly chose to join the Special Source Energy Team, becoming an ard Source Energy wielder, and was then sent out to execute fugitive tracking missions.
While Ruan Rujun, without eligibility, successfully returned to Eternal Star City, working as a clerk in the Source Energy Bureau, just as she wished.
Ti flew, another three years passed.
To Lin Xin, it was rely the blink of an eye, but to the few young won, it was already passing through the most critical stage of their lives.
***************
The second floor of the bookstore.
Lin Xin stroked his chin, looking at Chen Feiyang in front of him.
This kid was doing one-handed handstand push-ups.
"One, two, three, four...."
"One hundred fifty-seven... one hundred fifty-eight... one hundred fifty-nine...."
Chen Feiyang was already dizzy and confused. His mind was a blur.
"Master, did I complete three hundred... pieces yet?"
"Almost, almost, just two hundred forty more to go." Lin Xin stroked his chin and said.
"I’ve been doing it... for so long.... Didn’t I already reach one hundred sixty...."
"After one hundred sixty cos two hundred, after two hundred cos three hundred. Isn’t it exactly two hundred forty short?"
Lin Xin answered matter-of-factly.
"Really...?"
Chen Feiyang was already so tired that his eyes were blurred.
"That’s right, I’m your ntor, how could I harm you?"
Lin Xin said earnestly.
Chen Feiyang then continued doing one-arm push-ups.
Watching the honest kid obediently exercising, Lin Xin walked to the small room at the back of the bookstore, poured him a cup of hot water, and added so salt and sugar.
Then he returned with it to the training spot.
"After you’re done, you should do the single-leg squats. You haven’t completed today’s five hundred yet."
He placed the water beside Chen Feiyang.
"Huh? I seem to rember doing them..." Chen Feiyang said, eyes still hazy.
"That’s your mistake."
Lin Xin calmly wiped away the traces of Chen Feiyang’s morning single-leg squats.
"Today’s five hundred, don’t slack off after drinking the water."
"Oh....."
After instructing this straightforward kid, Lin Xin turned around, found a rattan chair on the second floor, sat down, and rocked gently, intending to have a good nap.
As for Chen Feiyang, from the beginning, he just regarded him as a toy, with a careless attitude.
Now, gradually, he has actually co to see him as his disciple.
Chen Feiyang is a kid who hates evil, upholds justice, but isn’t pedantic, and has great potential.
And his greatest advantage is respecting his teacher and the Way; no matter what Lin Xin says, he always completes it diligently without slacking off.
After a careful examination for more than a year, Lin Xin finally relented, crafting a specific fitness regi for this disciple to specifically train in cultivation practice external skills.
The results have been outstanding.
Having tasted the benefits, Chen Feiyang listens more obediently to Lin Xin.
"When Lu Li and the others co out in the future, it will be a good ti to guide this kid," Lin Xin thought idly.
His full strength has now completely recovered, except his cultivation intentionally suppressed, his attributes and qualities have returned.
However, since there’s nowhere else to go, he plans not to leave this planet until he figures out the mysterious force within Chen Feiyang.
Thump thump thump.
Urgent footsteps ran up from the first floor.
Xiao Wang, the cashier employee, rushed over.
"Boss, so people have co, saying they’re looking for Brother Feiyang."
Xiao Wang is a junior high school girl working part-ti, usually quite clever.
Opening a bookstore by the school has this advantage; finding cheap labor ans a bunch of students are willing to do it.
"Looking for Chen Feiyang? What kind of people are they?" Lin Xin said lazily.
"Not sure... but they look very fierce."
Xiao Wang said, sowhat scared.
Lin Xin stroked his chin.
"Then go inform that kid, let him go down and handle it."
"Okay!"
After instructing her, Lin Xin continued to close his eyes and rest.
The matter was quickly resolved.
After understanding the situation, Chen Feiyang apologized to Lin Xin, turned around, and left with a few muscular n wearing sunglasses.
He also asked Xiao Wang to leave a ssage for the ntor, saying he would handle it, so Lin Xin shouldn’t worry.
This kid has always been reliable, so Lin Xin didn’t bother.
He had a rough idea of what has happened with Chen Feiyang recently.
This kid, while training and cultivating in the wild, found a severely injured red-haired little girl.
After a round of rescue, the little girl clung to him and wouldn’t leave.
After that, wave after wave of people chasing the little girl ca to attack.
It’s said they were chasing a mysterious gemstone hidden on the girl—Water Seal.
Lin Xin secretly checked it out too.
Among the forces targeting Chen Feiyang, the largest organization was called White Shield, and its leaders were a bunch of weaklings, just right for this kid to practice combat.
As for that gemstone, Lin Xin took it out to play with and found it contained only a drop of the Perfect Level genetic modification drug.
Using drugs to activate genes is the worst option because it has the highest randomness. You might beco so kind of monster.
Such things, Lin Xin could casually manufacture countless vials, utterly aningless.
So he put the gemstone back and continued to let Chen Feiyang play with it.
Compared to this, Lin Xin is more concerned about Yang Songyu.
This little girl is now continuously taking on tasks everywhere, growing more mature and sharp.
She said that before long, she would apply to beco Deputy Director of Yongxing City.
By the way, she has now also beco a Third Level Source Energy user.
This is mostly because of her talent; actually, Zuo En’s talent was even better, otherwise, the two of them wouldn’t have been taken by a strong Source Energy user like Wen Shenmin.
But unfortunately, Zuo En couldn’t survive.
"When that little girl cos back, let her stay for a while longer. It’s been a long ti since I’ve had her spicy fatty beef...."
Lin Xin, while reminiscing about Yang Songyu’s cooking, casually played with a small cube that looked like jade in his hand.
This was the original Primordial Stone.
It had been absorbed and devoured by him, leaving only this bit.
The Primordial Stone could be absorbed by his soul and converted into the purest soul force supplent.
This was sothing Lin Xin never expected.
In the past, no matter what decree he cultivated, the strength of soul force was extrely difficult to train.
Even when using attribute points for enhancent, it rely heightened the spiritual power around the soul.
The soul itself couldn’t be improved.
But now there’s actually such a thod.
This filled him with delight.
And simultaneously piqued his interest in the so-called millennia fragnts even more.
