But by the next day, he was already preparing to leave.
These data could only be left for Li Xiaoyu to help sort out.
Song Que was still in a coma, but his vital signs were very stable. It was sowhat similar to Tang Suoye's condition earlier on.
After being injected with the powerful serum, it took a long ti to wake up.
Their bodies were undergoing changes at the genetic level.
Tang Xian was also curious whether Song Que, as the first talent transferee, specifically an orderer talent transferee, would exhibit different strengths?
He didn't have ti to verify, and when it was ti to go, Tang Xiaojiu was reluctant to part.
"Tang Xian, Tang Xian, take with you, please. You're back now and you don't even play with anymore, Qiao says you have a heart for won and none for friends."
Tang Xian gave Qiao Shanshan a sideways glance, and she coughed twice, saying:
"Cough cough, children say the darndest things, children say the darndest things."
Tang Xian held Tang Xiaojiu and found that the little girl had grown fatter in the month he hadn't seen her, her studies had fallen behind completely, now she was hopeless in everything but eating, claiming the first place as a little foodie.
She had claid Akasi's cooking to be dark cuisine, yet Tang Xiaojiu's appetite was still not small.
Even before Akasi ca back, it had always been Li Xiaoyu in charge of the cooking, though that was not really cooking but more like practice. The things she made, truly, were beyond any fox's attention and any dragon's sniff. But Tang Xiaojiu still ate a lot.
Li Xiaoyu herself was puzzled; she clearly rembered the cooking steps as "Ma Dongi", her mind rembered that, but when it ca to the actual cooking, it turned into "Sun Honglei".
Tang Xian looked at Tang Xiaojiu and said with a smile:
"After this affair, I should be able to take you with to the Pyramid. So next ti, I will definitely bring you along."
The month spent touring the mining area with Tang Xiaojiu had also been quite amusing for Tang Xian.
Once the major event at the Pyramid had concluded, Tang Xian planned to take Qing JiuYu and Tang Xiaojiu to take back the fox tribe.
This matter had already been scheduled by him.
Tang Xiaojiu, with her eyes wide, said earnestly:
"Tang Xian, I'm very smart. Qiao told that 'next ti definitely' ans mumbling, and mumbling ans next ti you won't play with either."
Tang Xian paused for a second, then glanced at Qiao Shanshan. He thought to himself that Qiao Shanshan had been quite active while he was away.
Mumbling could indeed be used to promise anything.
Qiao Shanshan coughed again twice, then repeated:
"Children say the darndest things, children say the darndest things."
"Xiaojiu is indeed beyond reproach, but you, who taught her these words, have already beco an old auntie."
Qiao Shanshan's smile imdiately stiffened, then she suddenly thought of Song Que, snorted, and turned her head away, ignoring Tang Xian.
Tang Xian felt relieved and did not want to delay any further. He had already told Li Xiaoyu all the details he needed to explain the night before.
The developnt of Baichuan City, the arrangents for Song Que, Yuan Wu, Tang Suoye, Akasi and others after that, Tang Xian had planned everything ticulously.
Before opening the transport rift, Li Xiaoyu suddenly looked up, staring straight into Tang Xian's eyes, and said:
"Tang Xian, what will beco of my father in the end? If this matter succeeds, will he be pointed at by thousands? Will he beco a sinner? Will his fate be miserable?"
Li Xiaoyu was ultimately worried about these things. Just like Li Wanye also missed his daughter.
Tang Xian's expression was equally serious as he said:
"The sin lies with the orderers. Li Wanye's heart is not bad; people care less about whether he is ruthless but more about his stance. I will make him understand that humans and orderers have always been in opposition."
"My dad... is very stubborn. I have never persuaded him."
"That may not be a bad thing. Such a person, once they change their understanding, will be firr than ordinary people."
Li Xiaoyu humd softly, as she actually missed Li Zheng and Li Xiaonian too.
Thinking of the burdens she had carried in the past, which were now borne by Li Xiaonian, as a sister, she still felt uneasy.
Tang Xian said softly:
"You will have a father and brothers who love you. I won't let you beco soone like ."
...
...
Tang Xian left.
Returning to Baichuan City for just a short day, the city experienced so incredibly miraculous events.
And the Pyramid, too, was undergoing trendous changes.
Within the holy fortress, Yu Xiaozhe and Lin Sen were dumbfounded as they looked at so data provided by the federation.
The data showed that the summoning of judgnt knights was increasing at a very high rate.
The appearance of each judgnt knight signified the eternal disappearance of an individual from the lower class… or even beyond.
The problem was that no one was stopping such an evil plan.
The tragic defeat of the Yuepela Plains campaign made many fortress lords realize that human strength ultimately has its limits, only by dehumanizing those people could there possibly be a fighting chance in the mining areas.
At the sa ti—collecting more high-quality Soul Crystals to unlock the next level.
It had been so ti since the appearance of the judgnt knights, and the various human forces had roughly figured out the abilities of the judgnt knights.
A few large fortresses were still patient enough.
Many fortresses with only six levels, though, placed a large number of orders.
Though Lin Sen's abilities paled in comparison to soone of Constantine's level as a supervisor, understanding so of the Human World's secrets wasn't difficult for him.
As lords of the fortress, both Lin Sen and Yu Xiaozhe also ordered a few judgnt knights—not very many, just several machines.
Their purpose was just to know the details of the transactions involving judgnt knights.
And these details made both Yu Xiaozhe and Lin Sen gasp.
Right now, Tang Xian was in the highest level of the holy fortress, watching Yu Xiaozhe with a face full of lingering fear as he recounted the chaos of recent days.
"We originally thought that what we had to pay were just the valuable mines. But when seeing the details of the orders, I realized the world has gone mad.
'Raw materials' are also provided by the purchasers."
In the office, Yu Xiaozhe's expression was grave.
He knew that with each day's delay, there would be more chanical bodies in the world and fewer humans.
Tang Xian naturally understood what 'raw materials' ant.
He had been planning for the lower class to rebel from early on.
He didn't say much but calmly pulled out so Soul Crystals.
"These Soul Crystals are from the last trip to the southern islands, where Tang Feiji and Bai Mansheng pilfered them from the Sea God's palace at the bottom of the deep sea and from the Sea God Cult's offerings."
Yu Xiaozhe and Lin Sen's eyes widened.
They had seen Soul Crystals with a purple luster before, but they had never seen so many at once.
Among them were even a few with an orange luster, which alone could buy any level of Lincoln Fortress.
"I had no idea you were so wealthy, but what are you going to do with these Soul Crystals?" Lin Sen picked up a Soul Crystal and inspected it closely.
"Expanding levels. Lincoln Fortress only has six levels, and I want to expand this fortress to the ninth level in one go. These Soul Crystals should be enough."
Tang Xian's casually spoken words always had a way of shocking people.
"Won't that be too flashy? Opening the seventh level might not attract much attention, but if we open the eighth level before Lincoln Fortress... think about it, people have no idea we have such competitiveness, it will attract a lot of eyes, right?
As for the ninth level... I can't even imagine how much shock that would cause."
Yu Xiaozhe hadn't expected Tang Xian's action to be so dramatic.
Tang Xian said:
"We must act quickly. Only when the strongest lords within the strongest fortresses speak out for humanity, might people be able to reverse the traditional notions that have ford over hundreds of years."
Pointing to his own nose with a laugh, Yu Xiaozhe said:
"The strongest lord you're talking about wouldn't be expecting and old Lin—criminals wanted by the law—to perform, would you? We're only suitable for working in the shadows; in the light, we'd bring negative influence."
Tang Xian shook his head.
When Lincoln Fortress becos a ninth-level fortress, it will inevitably shock the world, and at that ti, Lincoln Fortress will have the right to speak to the world.
But the spokesperson must undoubtedly be a chosen person of high prestige.
Tang Xian laughed and said:
"It's not you, it's my heir, Song Que."
(Recently, I haven't been able to shake this feeling of exhaustion, and I dare not promise a full chapter, but I'll try my best to write a substantial one tomorrow.)
