Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 161 Metropolitan Circle

"Good evening, Mr. Lin Qing. I am the visa officer in charge of this interview. My last name is Yan."

In the spacious and bright meeting room, a young man with black hair and black eyes, dressed formally and neatly, sat on the sofa opposite, looking at Lin Qing with a smile on his face.

In front of him, there were sheets of three-dimensionally projected information papers floating.

On the two single sofas next to the young man named Yan, there were two Zhixing people sitting respectively.

Lin Qing sat on the sofa opposite and nodded slightly, "Hello."

"According to the rules of the metropolitan area, whichever faction initiates the invitation will have its members serve as visa officers, responsible for the interview process and final approval. Zhixing Group has sent two inspectors."

The young man surnamed Yan smiled and said, "As a prospective star patroller of the Star Patrol Council, I am responsible for your visa interview for staying in the metropolitan area this time. In fact, the approval has been given. The next step is just to go through the process. After the interview, the visa application is also completed."

Lin nodded lightly.

"Next, please answer truthfully, Mr. Lin Qing."

The young man surnamed Yan said, "First question, Mr. Lin Qing, what do you think the 'metropolitan area' is?"

Lin Qing said: "The concession two hundred years ago."

The two Zhixing inspectors nearby frowned slightly when they heard this.

In the past, most of the visa applicants they had encountered would give positive answers to this question, such as economic and technological development, exchanges in cosmic civilizations, the discovery of elite talents, etc.

Unless they are talents who are signed by all parties compulsorily, 99% of them will be eliminated once they show rejection.

They also understood that this cosmic citizen of Earth civilization, the first rare priest, had hidden his talent for so long before it erupted, and was obviously completely different from those sycophants who were eager to immigrate.

However, they were also unhappy that the answer was so sharp and without giving any face.

"second question."

The young man surnamed Yan smiled. "In that case, why did you enter the urban circle?"

"In order to enter the Star Patrol Council." Lin Qing seemed not to notice the two inspectors. "It's just right to see the composition of this circle and understand who are my enemies."

He didn't have to lie.

There is no need to hide any hostility.

He was so close to the Autonomists, and hid his talent until he became a citizen of the universe - this behavior already showed his hostility.

No matter how hard he hides, unless he is willing to sign a contract to sell himself, the extraterrestrial civilization will never believe him.

Destined to be surrounded by enemies on all sides, what else is there to hide?
The young man surnamed Yan smiled and said, "On May 2126, 5, the Earth will be completely open and truly connected to the starry sky. By then, although you are a citizen of the Earth, you may be expelled from the Earth. Even expulsion may be the best outcome for you. Have you ever thought about it?"

"Maybe." Lin Qing's face was calm.

"You may not be aware of some things."

The young man surnamed Yan said, "As a primitive creature born on Earth, once you leave Earth, it will be ten or a hundred times more difficult to transform into a stellar creature than when you were on Earth. The difficulty of breaking through has been raised to this level, it is almost impossible."

He looked at Lin Qing and said, "Even... the difficulty of your priesthood trials on other planets will increase tenfold or a hundredfold. Have you ever thought about this consequence?"

Lin Qing was silent for a moment, then said, "I know these things."

During the more than one year at the Dusk Front, he had obtained countless intelligence information. How could he not know these things?
He had consulted Irenado and had already thought of several ways to deal with it.

"As long as you know."

The young man surnamed Yan did not ask further, but just said: "However, with your attitude, you are destined to be excluded by all parties in the urban circle. Even Master Qi and Dean Chu cannot help you due to the restrictions of the contract."

Lin chuckled, glanced at the two Zhixing inspectors who were looking sullen, and asked, "If I don't use this attitude, will I not be excluded?"

"That makes no difference." The young man surnamed Yan also smiled, "It seems that you are ready to withstand the storm."

He stood up, walked in front of Lin Qing, extended his hand, and said with a smile: "Welcome to join the Star Patrol Council. Although there are still exclusion and factions of different civilizations here, at least it is not as obvious as in other places invested and opened by extraterrestrial civilizations."

This is the etiquette of the earth.

Lin Qing stood up and shook his hand. "This is also what attracts me most about the Star Patrol Council."

"Yan Feiyu, is this the end?"

A Zhixing inspector nearby could not help but frown and said, "His attitude in answering was so bad, he didn't even take us into consideration..."

"so what?"

Yan Feiyu looked at him expressionlessly and said, "This is an invitation from the Star Patrol Council. Does the Zhixing Group want to interfere? Why? Is Yuanchen Civilization so special?"

The Zhixing inspector's expression changed. "That's not what I meant. I was just talking about his attitude. Don't misinterpret my words."

"Then don't talk so much."

Yan Feiyu said calmly: "It's good enough that the Star Patrol Council is recruiting people and allows you to watch."

Lin Qing watched this scene from the side and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

It seems... the Star Patrol Council is just as Chu Hongjun and others said, it is indeed special enough.

It is said that there are patrolling councils on countless life-bearing planets in the universe, all of which are passed down from an extremely large organization in the universe.

Such a huge organization that spreads across the universe and the starry sky is naturally not comparable to the Yuanchen civilization of the Zhixing people.

The two Zhixing inspectors had cold faces and walked out of the meeting room without saying a word.

When they reached the door, one of them suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Qing, and said in a cold voice: "Earthling, let me tell you an interesting thing... Six of the seven speakers of the Star Patrol Council are from the extraterrestrial civilizations that you are hostile to."

He sneered and walked out of the meeting room.

The meeting room fell silent.

"How is it? Are you scared?" Yan Feiyu looked at Lin Qing with a smile.

"Fortunately."

Lin Weiwei shook his head slightly and said, "I heard that the most important thing for the members of the Star Patrol Council is to remain independent and aloof, and not to be partial to others. There will also be the intelligence of the Star Patrol Council, which will regularly monitor the Second Universe Network?"

"That's right." Yan Feiyu smiled. "In fact, the final decision-making power of the parliament lies with the intelligent life 'Planet Patrol'. Although the speaker and members can make laws based on the situation on the planet, they only have the right to make suggestions."

He shook his head and said, "So even if the speakers of the extraterrestrial civilization want to target you, they can't embarrass you directly, such as directly canceling your benefits."

Lin Qing suddenly realized.

No wonder Chu Hongjun and the other two allowed him to join the Metropolitan Circle’s Star Patrol Council even though they knew he would be ostracized by extraterrestrial civilizations.

The Star Patrol Council is probably the most fair place in the metropolitan area.

"of course."

Yan Feiyu reminded again: "If most of the speakers are targeting you, some plans may be disadvantageous to you, so you must be prepared."

Lin Weiqing nodded slightly, and suddenly said: "The visa officer knows a lot about the Star Patrol Council?"

He also knew the structure of the Star Patrol Council.

The Star Patrollers are the members of the parliament, and above them are the seven Speakers. The members and Speakers have the power to vote and propose proposals.

The quasi-patrollers do not have such a status and are mainly responsible for actions.

This visa officer named Yan Feiyu knows so many things and is not like an ordinary quasi-star patroller.

"me?"

Yan Feiyu said with a smile: "My father is the only Earthling among the seven speakers, so I am responsible for your visa."

"Speaker?" Lin Qing finally understood.

Yan Feiyu shook his head and said, "My father, like you, also came from the Earth Patrol Headquarters, but before he became a citizen of the universe, he was forced to join the expedition of the Shennvxi civilization."

Lin Qing couldn't help but feel moved.

He remembered Jiayi saying that the Uncle Yan she knew had also been an inspector. Could he be referring to Speaker Yan?
"Father has a good relationship with Master Qi and Dean Chu, and they also have high hopes for you." Yan Feiyu looked at Lin Qing, "Brother, you have to work hard."

Lin Weiqing nodded slightly and asked, "Are there any standards for quasi-star patrollers and star patrollers?"

"Since you can join the council, you are already a quasi-star patroller."

Yan Feiyu explained casually: "As for the Star Patrollers who serve as councillors, they are original clergymen, and generally have the strength of the fourth or fifth level of the Star Abyss."

Lin Qing was sure then.

The members of the Star Patrol Council are indeed all original clergymen.

His current strength is enough to pass the third level of Xingyuan.

Without the holy texts, the original clergy can normally pass through the fourth level of Xingyuan, but with multiple sets of holy texts blessed with combat power, it is possible to sprint one more level and pass through the fifth level.

"What about the Speaker?" Lin Qing asked curiously.

"The Speaker has only one standard."

Yan Feiyu smiled and said, "Pass the sixth level of Xingyuan."

Lin Qing suddenly realized.

The seven chairmen are seven powerful men from the sixth level of Xingyuan.

He couldn't help but think of the names on the Xingyuan ranking list. The seven speakers and members of the parliament were probably on it.

"Father said that you can at least become a new member of parliament in the future."

Yan Feiyu sighed: "However, even with the strength of the councillor, there is no way to fight against these extraterrestrial civilizations, and the patrollers will die. Although I admire you, I also hope you can be careful."

He looked at Lin Qing and asked, "I know that you are a self-governing party just like my father and the others. Do you have confidence?"

Lin Qing hesitated for a moment and did not answer. He just said slowly: "There were people in this country who could do this two hundred years ago, and it is the same now."

Yan Feiyu was stunned and said, "My father said the same thing."

……

The metropolitan area is a city that never sleeps.

Even if the darkness of night covered half the planet, it could not reach the embankment formed by the city lights.

In the urban circle, there are skyscrapers that seem to reach into the sky, and there are also huge streamlined buildings. Colorful holographic advertising screens and light shows shine in the sky of the urban circle. Even if you haven't entered the urban circle, you can see them clearly.

In the central area of ​​this urban circle, there are no skyscrapers, but instead there are huge metal buildings of various colors that look more like spaceships.

In the air, aircraft shuttled along intelligently planned routes and flew at high speeds, but thanks to the control system, there was not even a hint of noise.

"Whoosh!"

A gray UFO-shaped aircraft passed through the sky above the urban area and flew towards the central area of ​​the urban area at high speed.

Inside the aircraft, Lin Qing looked at the floor beneath his feet which had turned into a panoramic simulation state, as if the floor had become completely transparent, and he could clearly see the city scenery below.

"Is this your first time in the urban area?" Yan Feiyu asked.

"Yes." Lin nodded.

"The reason this place is so advanced is mainly because those extraterrestrial civilizations want to live more comfortably."

Yan Feiyu said: "But they also hope that the Earth will remain an evolutionary life planet to avoid affecting the types of priests that appear in the forbidden area, so they built urban circles to prevent the outflow of high technology from the urban circles, which will lead to the rapid development of Earth's civilization and technology and the neglect of evolution."

Lin Qing thought for a moment and asked, "Won't the existence of the metropolitan area itself have an impact?"

"of course not."

Yan Feiyu said: "All the equipment in the metropolitan area comes from outside the earth and has nothing to do with the earth. As long as it does not overflow, it will not have any impact."

Lin Qing finally understood.

No wonder urban areas never exploit the earth’s mineral resources; this may be the reason.

"You have to remember that you can't run around in the urban area."

Yan Feiyu said: "The war fortresses of various civilizations are located here. The defense system they have built can kill even parliamentarians instantly. If you barge in, the extraterrestrial civilization will find a reason."

Lin nodded slightly.

He looked at the urban circle beneath his feet. It was over 20,000 square kilometers and more than 100 kilometers long and wide. It seemed to be a large area, but once a strong person started moving, he could quickly cross the urban circle.

But... each area in the urban circle has been divided into independent areas. If you trespass without permission, you will be discovered by the defense system and it will be an act of seeking death.

"Look, that's the school area, which is used to screen academic talents for extraterrestrial civilizations, and that's the business district..."

"We are almost at the central area. Look at those huge metal buildings. They are actually space fortresses. The real top forces all use space fortresses as their headquarters."

"That spaceship-shaped fortress is the Chaoyang Martial Arts School, that one is the Liming Group, and the space fortress that looks like a large tripod belongs to the Zhixing Group, that one belongs to the Expedition Society, and that one is the Black Warrior Military Resources Company..."

"Look at the biggest one, that's the space fortress of our Star Patrol Council."

Yan Feiyu pointed to the huge black butterfly-like space fortress in the center of the metropolitan area and said, "It is said that the Zhixing Group chose a smaller space fortress to show respect, so as to avoid it being larger than the headquarters fortress of the Patrol Star Council."

Lin Qing was also looking at the headquarters fortresses representing the top forces in the urban circle.

If he had come to the urban area two or three years ago, he might have felt the novelty and shock like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. But now, his perspective has changed.

Even his talent and potential have exceeded the scope of the first-level civilization. Even though he may not be considered a genius in the second-level civilization, there is almost no one who can compare with him in the first-level civilization.

His biggest competitor is also destined not to be these people from the first-level civilization.

It just takes enough time and effort to surpass it.

"Identity verified successfully, has arrived at the Star Patrol Council, and is landing."

Following intelligent prompts, the aircraft began to descend towards the Star Patrol Council headquarters below. The building that looked like a giant black butterfly also cast a beam of light and scanned it.

After the aircraft landed, Yan Feiyu took Lin Qing into this huge fortress which covered an area of ​​nearly 100 square kilometers.

Then, he walked along the passages and went through identity verification again and again before entering a hall-like office deep in the fortress.

Inside the office, an Earthling man with black hair and black eyes, wearing a black training suit, was sitting cross-legged on a silver metal round table with his eyes closed. There were visible dots of light around him that constantly penetrated into his body.

Lin Qing took a quick look and confirmed that the little bit of light was definitely the manifestation of some extremely high-level energy gathering!

He was not sure what level of power it was, but it was definitely beyond the sixth level.

"Father." Yan Feiyu said.

The man in black training clothes slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, the invisible pressure of the aura slowly dissipated, and even the energy spots gathered around were solidified in mid-air.

It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul, but Lin Qing discovered that there seemed to be some kind of terrifying existence lurking in the depths of this man's eyes. Just the look in his eyes made his life instinct feel threatened.

However, the order level did not change, which was obviously only due to the huge gap in strength.

"Fei Yu, please go down." Speaker Yan said slowly.

Yan Feiyu nodded slightly, looked at Lin Qing again, then turned and left.

"Chairman Yan."

Lin Qing looked at the stern man and said, "Thank you for your help."

He was not referring to the visa officer, but the fact that the other party cooperated with Irenato and Zhao Jiayi to reveal the information about the Sky Islands to him.

"...You don't have to thank me. I don't even understand what you are talking about."

Chairman Yan looked at him calmly and said, "Since Jiayi chose you, you should not let her efforts go to waste, and don't be too cruel."

"I see."

Lin Wei nodded slightly, and was completely certain in her heart——

This Speaker Yan is the 'uncle who used to be an inspector' that Jiayi mentioned.

Speaker Yan looked at him and was silent for a few seconds before he said, "How much do you know about the Star Patrol Council?"

"It is limited to summarizing the information." Lin Qing said, "Responsible for patrolling the planet, proposing legislation based on the planet's situation, and then enforcing the law according to the law, so only life born on this planet is qualified to take on this responsibility."

"Your information is too brief."

Chairman Yan shook his head slowly. "The real special thing about the Star Patrol Council is its origin. This is a huge force that can truly stand at the top of the universe. As long as you can become a Star Patroler, even if you become a peripheral member of this force, this is your background. If the Earth civilization is still very weak, the requirements for Star Patrolers will be even higher."

"Outside members?" Lin Qing thought thoughtfully.

"This is a ladder. How high you can climb depends on you."

Speaker Yan said: "Perhaps the benefits you get from the Star Patrol Council are not as good as the relics and treasures of the pre-Earth civilization, but you can also get some things that the pre-Earth civilization did not have."

Lin Qing suddenly realized.

The atmosphere was silent for a while, and then Chairman Yan spoke again: "If it weren't for Jiayi, with your talent, I originally planned to accept you as a student, but with the talent Jiayi gave you, your potential is even higher than mine."

He paused and said, "I don't like beating around the bush. I will try my best to train you. Just tell me what you need."

Lin Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Chairman Yan, I need to practice divine skills. Is there any method that can help me understand the essence of the sixth energy level?"

"Divine skill?"

Chairman Yan looked at Lin Qing and said, "The path of divine skills is too difficult and will take up too much time. Moreover, as the energy level increases, it will be dangerous to understand the nature of high-energy power. Most of the strong people in the universe have tried it, but more than 99.9% of them chose to give up. Are you sure?"

"I want to try it." Lin Qing said.

He has the pseudo-godhood and the anti-entropy advance, so it won't be too difficult to take this path.

“It’s good to have momentum.”

Chairman Yan nodded slightly, without trying to persuade him. He just pondered for a moment and said, "Before transforming into a higher primitive creature, there are only two methods that can help you understand the nature of power. Either a high-energy energy gathering environment, or a special crystal that contains some kind of stable high-energy energy."

He said: "As long as you can live in an environment where a certain energy is concentrated for a long time, it will be easy to become familiar with that energy and it will be easier to recognize it."

Lin nodded lightly.

What he needed now was to familiarize himself with the high-level energies he needed as quickly as possible until he could blend them easily enough to form a pseudo-godhood in his mind.

The high-level energy gathering environment will naturally have an effect on him.

"As for the stable energy crystals, they are crystals condensed by a special secret technique by a strong person who has thoroughly understood the nature of the corresponding energy."

Chairman Yan said: "This kind of stable energy is gentler and easier to get familiar with, but there are too few such energy crystals on Earth, and extraterrestrial civilizations limit this kind of resources, so it is difficult to obtain them."

Lin Qing also understood.

It is extremely difficult to understand the essence of high-energy level power. Even if one can sense the power of the sixth level, there will be only one success among tens of thousands of primitive creatures.

How many primitive creatures are there on Earth?

Even if a clergyman fulfills his priestly duties and promotes the evolution of life, he is only evolving with the help of the power of priesthood, which does not mean that he has recognized the essence!
The essence of cognition is a stupid method, the longest shortcut.

There are not many primitive creatures on the entire earth who can recognize the essence of a certain power, so this kind of energy crystallization is naturally very rare.

"In that case, it's not bad to have an environment where high-level energy gathers." Lin Qing said.

Speaker Yan nodded slowly and said, "There are multiple 'energy pools' in the fortress where the Star Patrol Council is located. They can store high-level energy, but they are all used by people for a long time. If you want to use them, you need to meet three requirements."

"Three requests?" Lin Qing listened carefully.

Chairman Yan said immediately: "First, you need to roughly control some high-level energy, so that you can use the energy gathering pool to gradually and stably accumulate high concentrations of this energy."

Lin Qing nodded and said, "I can roughly control it now."

After he engraved the holy words of 'Life Affinity', with his current consciousness strength and affinity, as long as it was the sixth energy level that he could sense, after he had some initial familiarity with it, he could basically control it.

Speaker Yan hummed and continued, "Secondly, to use the energy pool, you need to soak in it for a long time to be effective. This requires the consent of the parliament. Even if it is a sixth-level energy pool, it is very precious."

He looked at Lin Qing and said, "There are too many people in line. You can cut in line if you want, but you must also prove your excellence. According to the rules, the parliament will often give you a test."

"A test?" Lin nodded. "I accept."

"You are already a primitive creature now?" Speaker Yan looked at him and said, "Normally, there is a certain chance, but I am afraid the test is too difficult."

Lin Qing asked: "Is the test method different every time?"

"The Speakers propose a bill, which is then submitted to the intelligent life form 'Planet Patrol' for approval, and then the Speakers and the members of the House vote."

Speaker Yan said slowly: "The key lies in the proposal. The Speakers may come up with some tests that are more difficult for you. This is within the scope of the Planet Patrol. Once you pass it, you will be in trouble."

Lin Weiwei frowned slightly.

"Perhaps you have some hidden cards." Chairman Yan looked at Lin Qing, "But you have to understand that the test must be in the subsidiary space of the Second Universe Network. During the test, you are under surveillance."

Lin Qing understood what he meant.

Not to mention the ability to walk under the gods, even if it is to engrave the holy text, he cannot reveal too much.

Under normal circumstances, it takes at least two to three years to engrave a set of sacred texts.

Even if the metropolitan area has a way to speed up, it is outrageous to engrave so many groups in just three months.

However, by only exposing the ability of the commander of the army, the sacred text will not be exposed.

"I heard that you are very strong in your field. You should have a good chance of passing the test of normal difficulty."

Chairman Yan said softly: "I will help you apply for the test of jumping the queue, and I will try my best to help you when proposing. Whether you can succeed or not depends on you."

"Thank you, Chairman Yan." Lin Qing nodded gratefully and asked, "Aren't there three requirements? What is the third one?"

"You need to pay to use the energy pool." Chairman Yan said, "It is charged in the universal currency of the universe, 'Original Coin'. The sixth energy pool costs 2,000 Original Coins to use for a month."

He looked at Lin Qing and said, "However, since I have helped you so far, as long as you can pass the test, I will lend you the money. I will lend you as much as you need."

Lin Qing took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, Chairman Yan."

Chairman Yan hummed nonchalantly, and then asked, "Anything else you need? Don't feel embarrassed, you will have to pay it back in the future."

Lin Qing pondered.

"For example, the holy text."

Chairman Yan said calmly, "You have only obtained the Holy Words for a few months. I am afraid you have not yet successfully engraved one set. You can buy some precious high-level energy potions in the parliament to increase your speed of engraving the Holy Words several times. Six sets of Holy Words will cost about 30,000 original coins. I can lend them to you."

"Then... I'll trouble you, Speaker." Lin Qing said.

"You have to pay it back, and the interest will be calculated according to the standards of the major banks in the universe civilization." Chairman Yan reminded.

"Okay." Lin nodded.

Although he did not intend to use these requirements, it would be a good idea to use them to conceal the progress of his engraving of the holy text.

Anyway... he has already remembered this favor.

"I won't transfer the money to you." Speaker Yan said calmly, "You haven't opened an account yet, and your authority doesn't allow you to buy many things."

"Okay." Lin nodded.

"In addition..." Chairman Yan looked at Lin Qing and said, "I also know that those sky islands you explored in the Sky Islands are of little use to the abilities of the Military Commander, right?"

"really."

Lin Qing nodded helplessly, "But from the information I know, there is really no holy text suitable for the commander of the army."

He had no choice. Among the information Jiayi passed on to him, there were so many sets of holy texts, but there was no holy text that could help him improve his ability to command soldiers.

Chairman Yan pondered for a moment and said, "If you agree to one of my requests, I can give you a set of holy text inheritance of the Order Department suitable for the military commander."

"The holy text can be passed on?" Lin Qing asked in surprise.

"It was not obtained in the Sky Islands, but the remains of the pre-civilization of the Earth."

Chairman Yan shook his head. "This set of holy words is called 'Blood Edge'. It can strengthen the magic weapon of the military commander. How much effect it has depends on you."

"Blood Front?" Lin Qing was a little curious, and immediately said, "If Chairman Yan has any request, you can just tell me."

Chairman Yan was silent for a while, then said, "I will definitely leave Earth in the future, and the only thing I care about is Feiyu. I hope you will promise me... that you will take care of my son Yan Feiyu for me after I leave."

"Look after him?" Lin Qing asked doubtfully: "My current strength may be..."

"I believe you will be stronger than me one day in the future." Speaker Yan said, "I will not leave until the Earth is connected to the starry sky."

Lin Qing hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. After Chairman Yan leaves Earth in the future, if I am able, I will definitely help you take care of Yan Feiyu."

"Remember your promise."

Chairman Yan looked at Lin Qing, then took out a diamond-shaped transparent crystal from the subspace storage device and said, "This inheritance token can be activated by telekinesis or energy. There is only one last chance to inherit it. After you accept the inheritance, it will also shatter."

Lin nodded lightly, then reached out to take the hard and cold diamond-shaped transparent crystal.

"Unfortunately, the test will begin in a few days, and there will be no time for you to engrave the Blood Edge."

Speaker Yan said, "However, this test is on the Second Cosmic Network. You can ask Irenado to give you the best training conditions. With the accelerated time in Dusk Paradise, you may have time to engrave it on the Second Cosmic Network."

Lin Qing was surprised: "Is it possible?"

"Let's give it a try." Speaker Yan shook his head slightly and said, "Geniuses are often faster at engraving holy words."

"It just so happens that there's a vacant seat so I can advance payment..." Lin Qing muttered to himself as he said goodbye.

After Lin Qing left, Chairman Yan sat there silently, as if he had turned into a statue.

After a long while, he shook his head gently: "If Chu Hongjun's guess is correct, he should have been able to enter the ruins in less than a hundred years. He is actually hiding so deep..."

"It's not in vain that I deliberately hid the holy text information that could help the military commander. Jiayi, Irenato and the others didn't know about it..."

"Now, I can use this set of useless blood blades to exchange for a bigger favor..."

"If Feiyu knew, he would probably think that I am a despicable father again..."

A low, self-deprecating laugh echoed in the hall: "Forget it, I won't live much longer anyway..."
