The Heavens: Falling Ink From Douluo

Chapter 1650: No Talk That Night

There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers.

Therefore, the fact that Burning Flame Valley thinks this way does not mean that Lin Chaoci thinks this way, nor does it mean that other people, Burning Flame Valley, and Lin Chaoci think the same way.

However, upon closer examination...

What others think is none of my business.
Burning Flame Valley doesn't care about other people's opinions.

Skillful.

Lin Chaoci didn't care about what others thought.

They didn't even care about the opinions of the Burning Flame Valley.

Because he only talked about the future, some things that would happen in the original work. Although from today's perspective, these words are too unrealistic, one should always have a long-term vision and have some faith in the future, which may be a good choice.

Of course, the reason Lin Chaoci dared to do this was not because of anything else, but because he was still young. Xiao Yan, the protagonist in the original work, was also young, giving him ample time to plan for this future.

As for whether or not the Burning Flame Valley believes it.

This is clearly a problem with Burning Flame Valley.

It's not his problem.

Moreover, to put it another way, whether you believe it or not is up to you.

There was no loss to Burning Flame Valley.

All that's needed for Burning Flame Valley to do is wait.

But he has a lot to consider.

Thinking this way, Lin Chaoci found himself laughing.

Shake his head.

Throw these weird and wonderful memes out of your mind.

Afterwards, they boarded the spaceship of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.

They also met Feng Qing'er, who had been waiting for them for a long time.

"You're back, our busy man?"

At this moment, Feng Qing'er was sitting at the tea table. Her clothes had changed from the soft armor to a long robe. She had lost some of her sharpness and gained some casualness, but her eyes were still arrogant. She was looking at several reports. When she saw Lin Chaoci return, she put down the information in her hand, but did not throw it back on the table. Instead, she held it in her hand and let it hang by her side.

At the same time, he picked up the teacup with his other hand.

I took a sip of the tea.

He then jokingly asked, "Let me guess... what kind of offers did Starfall Pavilion and Burning Flame Valley each give you just now?"

"The stakes are quite high."

"Unfortunately, I didn't take it."

"Someone will go and get it."

"However, that person is not me."

Lin Chaoci sat down on the other side of the tea table without any hesitation.

He glanced at the intelligence reports piled on the table.

He raised his eyebrows slightly.

Then, with some surprise, he asked, "So much intelligence all from you alone?"

Which one are you referring to?

"You mean I have to handle everything by myself?"

"Or are you saying I'll be watching it all by myself?"

Feng Qing'er made the problem a little more specific.

Then, without waiting for Lin Chaoci's reply, she began to answer her questions one by one: "If it's the former, then obviously not. To be honest, I'm not good at internal affairs, but I'm better at fighting and killing. The family is also aware of this, so they have assigned me some people to handle affairs and assist me in my work. But no matter what, I need to review a lot of intelligence before I can delegate it to them. This way, I can not only prevent them from deceiving their superiors, but also have a comprehensive understanding of the current situation. I can also pick out some important intelligence to deal with separately. Therefore, this situation of being neither here nor there has been created. I seem to be very busy, but in reality, I'm just taking a cursory look."

For Feng Qing'er, nothing is more important than cultivation. This is a consensus among the entire Tianyaohuang clan. Even the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan, which is currently at odds with the Tianyaohuang clan, believes that Feng Qing'er will focus on cultivation. After all, the Tianyaohuang clan's chance to turn the tide lies with Feng Qing'er. As long as Feng Qing'er can grow up smoothly, the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan can be easily defeated.

Besides, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan is well aware of the malicious intentions behind the assistance from forces like the Ancient Clan, Thunder Clan, and Flame Clan. Although they cannot guarantee a one-to-one replica, they can easily guess the truth. Therefore, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan is currently dealing with a tiger for its skin. When the Soul Clan and the Ancient Void Dragon Clan suffer severe losses in this turmoil, that will be the time for them to betray Feng Qing'er and severely damage the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.

Therefore, the current state between the Heavenly Phoenix Clan and the Ancient Clan, Thunder Clan, and Flame Clan is that they are using each other, and they are just waiting to see who will have the better skills.

To this end, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan has prepared many trump cards.

This includes, but is not limited to, some highly disrespectful practices.

For example, bringing out the remains of some ancestors.

They are truly filial sons and virtuous grandsons.

Referring to the remains of the Ancient Void Dragon and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix under Lin Chaoci's command, although this practice is indeed disrespectful to ancestors, when it comes to living ancestors like the Supreme Dragon and Phoenix, it is not incomprehensible to occasionally disrespect other ancestors.

However, this is just the way a normal person thinks.

It's also a power struggle among those at the highest levels.

For these high-level officials...

They understand the importance of balancing work and rest.

Therefore, the higher-ups of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan did not force Feng Qing'er to cultivate.

Instead, he handed over absolute autonomy to Feng Qing'er.

It has to be said that this is a very smart approach. After all, you, Feng Qing'er, are not unaware of the pressure that the Heavenly Phoenix Clan is currently facing. In fact, you, Feng Qing'er, volunteered to go to the front line of the battlefield, and you see things more closely than we high-ranking officials do. You know very well who these people are fighting and sacrificing for. So, if you can withstand the condemnation of your conscience, it is not impossible to give up. But if you have any conscience at all, seeing so many people die and are injured will spur you on to work hard on the path of cultivation.

This is self-awakening and self-struggle.

It is far more effective than having others push you along.

Therefore, don't be fooled by Feng Qing'er's seemingly leisurely demeanor.

This was one of the few times she had a moment of leisure.

To put it bluntly, after a long day of hard work, spending twenty or thirty minutes drinking tea and taking the opportunity to catch up on current information is not laziness, but rather a normal part of the rest process.

Even without looking at intelligence.

Simply eating and drinking.

Take a half-hour break.

It's understandable.

The claim that it's a waste of time has absolutely nothing to do with it.

"So that's it..."

Lin Chaoci nodded thoughtfully.

Everyone has their own lifestyle habits.

His habits are different from Feng Qing'er's.

It might also be related to the cultivation method he practices.

His cultivation technique can run on its own. To put it bluntly, even if he sits still, he will gain experience, but not as quickly as when he actively runs it. For example, when running it actively, he gains ten experience points every hour, but when running it passively, he only gains five points every hour. As a result, Lin Chaoci doesn't really need to add points. The best approach is to use the brush to build up strength and foundation at the same level. As for the level, one should generally wait until the foundation can't be built up any further before starting to work on it, like he is breaking through on his own now.

It's all about letting things happen naturally.

So let him handle it.

It divides the time into fixed periods.

For example, when you get up in the morning, take a look at the intelligence, including summaries from various sources, for about an hour. Treat it like reading the newspaper in the morning, and it will also help you wake up and get your mind active. Then, before going to bed at night, take another look for a while, which will help you fall asleep and prevent you from carrying stress and fatigue into the next day.

Work that can be completed within the specified time.

Finish it within the allotted time.

There's no need to force yourself to do something you can't finish.

Go to sleep when you should.

Eat when you should eat.

Take a lunch break.

They are more focused on doing things wholeheartedly.

Instead of multitasking.

Even at their level, multitasking is quite simple; it's not a high-level skill. But finding a rhythm that suits them is more important and directly determines success or failure.

However, then again.

This happened a very, very long time ago.

After arriving at the Dou Qi Continent. Or, to put it another way, after arriving at the Great Thousand World star system.

He never worried about it again.

Before the age of six, whether in the Xiao family on the Dou Qi Continent or the Lin family on the Tian Xuan Continent, he was an absolute nobody. No one paid attention to this six-year-old child without parents. Moreover, one should choose the right opponent to compete with. Proving one's strength by bullying a six-year-old child would only bring resentment from others and questioning from adults, without any other benefit. In addition, the Xiao and Lin families had excellent education for their children. The children of both families understood that bullying the weak was nothing, but daring to draw their swords against the strong was the real skill. Under this overall educational philosophy, Lin Chaoci spent his six years of development peacefully.

And then, six years later, during the rise of the momentum.

Even after joining the Yunlan Sect.

Because of their status and position.

Lin Chaoci was not involved in any matters that required his attention.

After all, most of the affairs of the Yunlan Sect were handled by the Grand Elder Yun Leng. Although the sect leader Yun Yun had the right to know, her focus was still on cultivation. Yun Shan was a hands-off manager who did nothing but eat and drink. As a result, even Yun Yun had very little contact with affairs, and her disciple Xiao Die had even less. As for her junior brother Lin Chaoci, it goes without saying that the sect's training for him was focused on combat power rather than management, so there was even less need for him to worry about it.

Training them for management roles is a waste of talent and reputation.

They are trained to enhance combat capabilities and wield significant real power.

The most obvious examples are the law enforcement elders and the grand elders of the Lin clan.

In terms of authority, the Grand Elder can manage everything.

The law enforcement elders can only govern the law.

However, if both make a promise about something, the Grand Elder's promise is not guaranteed to come true, and the Grand Elder usually does not give a definite answer. But the Enforcement Elder's promise is almost always true, and the words given are usually more clear. If it is yes, it is yes; if it is no, it is no. Although there is no room for negotiation, the success rate is very high.

If someone commits a crime.

Praying to the Grand Elder was useless.

Seeking help from the law enforcement elders.

Similarly, when it comes to personnel changes, don't be fooled by the Grand Elder's seemingly good words and promises of promotion. If someone can persuade the Enforcement Elder, the Enforcement Elder can change the candidate with just a word. After all, who doesn't have something on them? Even if they don't now, who can guarantee they won't commit a crime in the future?

Legal principles are nothing more than human feelings.

Today, I owe you a favor.

You might need it tomorrow.

There are a million ways to make excuses.

But some favors are enough with just one.

Therefore, in the two years before the training.

Lin Chaoci's management skills were basically useless.

They become even less useful during the training process.

There were only two people in total.

Xiaodie and himself.

Xiaodie is quite obedient.

Who are you in charge of?

It's impossible to take care of the remains of the Ancient Void Dragon and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, right?
That's too abstract!
"If you don't mind, you can stay on the spaceship tonight. I've already arranged for someone to prepare your rooms."

"Of course, this is just an invitation."

"If it's inconvenient for you, you can also return to your spaceship."

"Go outside and unfold the spaceship."

"Don't worry about whether it will bother me."

"For me, it's just a matter of a word."

Feng Qing'er took a sip of tea and said this.

Lin Chaoci did not feign modesty.

Given his relationship with Feng Qing'er, finding a place to stay on the ship once wouldn't be a problem.

Don't tell me we're not in the same room.

Even if we're in the same room.

As long as we don't share a bed, it's fine.

In addition, this was also Feng Qing'er's good intention.

There are those who steal for a thousand days, but not those who guard against thieves for a thousand days.

If he were to stay outside, it certainly wouldn't be as worry-free as staying on the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's spaceship. After all, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's spaceship is guarded by elite soldiers, none of whom are below the level of a Dou Wang.

Even if preventing a Dou Zun's surprise attack is unlikely.

However, this ship is not without a Dou Zun (a powerful figure in the martial arts world) in command.

It's few, but it's few.

One is enough.

This defensive force under normal circumstances is different from the Taixu Ancient Dragon Remains and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Remains, which lack self-awareness and rely on Lin Chaoci's orders to act, and are quite rigid. It saves a lot of trouble.

Although Lin Chaoci still has some trump cards up his sleeve.

For example, the puppets harvested in the ruins of the Dou Sheng.

Commonly known as the Heavenly Demon Puppet.

Of course, this is the highest level of terminology.

The batch of Heavenly Demon Puppets in Lin Chaoci's possession were mostly Human Demon Puppets and Earth Demon Puppets.

Average combat ability.

At most, they can deal with the grunts.

It's not impossible to use them for guarding ships.

Why force yourself when you can save yourself the trouble and effort?

"Then I'll be disrespectful!"

Lin Chaoci smiled and made a polite remark.

Feng Qing'er also laughed.

Although Feng Qing'er is cold and doesn't like to smile, she just doesn't smile often.

It's not that I can't laugh.

She looks quite good when she smiles.

Tilt your head.

He gestured, "It's getting late..."

"Alright."

"You go to bed early."

"The Blood Pool of Tianshan will open tomorrow."

"According to the intelligence."

"We must break through the great formation set up by the Gold-Eating Rats."

"I won't bother you any more."

"meet tomorrow."

Lin Chaoci bowed and took his leave.

Feng Qing'er got up to see him off.

The distance was handled very well.

Polite, but not overly so.

After all, it was only delivered to the door.

Lin Chaoci noticed these details but didn't pay attention. Following the maid who led the way, he found a new room and met Xiaodie, who had been waiting there for a long time. He casually chatted with her about whether anything had happened on the spaceship of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan when he went to the Starfall Pavilion and the Burning Flame Valley, whether anyone had looked for him, and what questions they had asked him. Then he fell asleep and the rest of the night passed without incident.

It can also be described as a good night's sleep.

I didn't wake up until the next morning.
