They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 63 The Wonderful Use of Self-Compulsory Testimony (4000 words, please recommend and read further)
Dan Lei's words sealed the deal, and Xu San, Xu Si, and Zhang Chulan all showed cold expressions.

However, Xu Xiang then pressed his hands down to signal everyone to calm down, and then said...

"Calm down, everyone calm down. Mr. Danlei's words are not without reason. Chu Lan, Bao Bao, why don't you accompany Mr. Danlei to the rooftop to talk first?"

Here, Xu Xiang and his group had clearly agreed in advance that the negotiation would take place on the rooftop, so none of Xu Xiang's people objected.

Meanwhile, Dan Lei had no objection to the rooftop location, as he had plenty of ways to soundproof it, and Feng Baobao would definitely repeat what he told her to Xu Xiang and the others verbatim.

So, led by Zhang Chulan, Dan Lei was flanked by him and Feng Baobao and taken to the rooftop.

Once on the rooftop, Dan Lei noticed Zhang Chulan's increasingly serious expression, so he deliberately cracked a joke to lighten the mood.
"Hey Zhang Chulan, it's just going up to the rooftop, no need to look so gloomy. Did you spend thousands on gacha games and end up with nothing?"

Clearly, Zhang Chulan got the joke from Dan Lei's words, but said, "Don't fall for that," and directly retorted.

"Several thousand? I'm just a poor student. I don't even have a thousand for food a month. Don't compare me to a top employee of an international corporation like you."

"Now that we're on the roof, just say what you need to say."

Seeing that Zhang Chulan wanted to get straight to the point, Dan Lei didn't refuse. He directly took out a bottle of mercury from his bag, poured it on the ground, and said...

“I know you will definitely tell Xu Xiang and his son about our conversation later, but in order to prevent them from rushing up to us in the middle of our conversation, I’ll do some soundproofing first.”

As they spoke, Dan Lei had already manipulated mercury to draw a simple shielding barrier on the rooftop, which could block sound and electromagnetic signals. Even if Xu Xiang and his son put their ears to the rooftop door, they wouldn't be able to hear the conversation between the three people on the rooftop.

Zhang Chulan did not interfere with Dan Lei's formation, clearly having been persuaded to refrain from taking action if possible.

Once the barrier was complete, Dan Lei didn't keep anyone in suspense and went straight to the point.

"Alright, to save time for both of us, I'll tell you what I know first, so you don't think I'm bluffing you and cause unnecessary arguing."

After speaking, Dan Lei shared some of the information he knew about Feng Baobao, including her age changes, her general life from 1944 to the present, and the speculation that Feng Baobao was a product of the combination of the Eight Extraordinary Skills.

To be honest, the content here was far beyond Zhang Chulan's comprehension. At this point, he didn't even know what the Eight Extraordinary Techniques were or what their effects were, and he had to rely on Dan Lei to explain them to him.

In short, after speaking, Zhang Chulan looked overwhelmed with information, so Dan Lei let her catch her breath and turned to Feng Baobao to ask...

"Feng Baobao, I've just said so much, don't you have any questions for me?"

However, Feng Baobao only replied with one sentence.

"Dog Boy said that I'd better not say a word right now and leave everything to Zhang Chulan."

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei was speechless. Xu Xiang and the others were clearly afraid that they would get something out of Feng Baobao, so they simply prevented her from speaking.

With Feng Baobao's childlike innocence (and stubbornness), even if she were to grab Dan Lei by the neck and demand an explanation about her origins and why he claimed to be a product of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, she would simply sit and continue listening to Dan Lei and Zhang Chulan's negotiation.

However, after overhearing Dan Lei and Feng Baobao's conversation, Zhang Chulan clearly considered Feng Baobao's feelings and took the initiative to ask...
"Danlei, do you have any way to prove that the baby is a product of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques?"

In response to this question, Danlei suddenly took out a piece of paper and answered...
"Without evidence, don't ask me where the intelligence came from."

However, I have a way to prove that I wasn't lying.

However, you will have to pay a price.

Dan Lei produced a self-enforcement certificate. The nature of Qi and magic in Under One Person is almost the same, so the self-enforcement certificate can take effect.

This was tested by Dan Lei when he had some free time on an unlucky superhuman. This superhuman was a man who, for a little money, sold his right to stand up and urinate for three days without much thought.

However, Dan Lei repeatedly warned him not to break the contract, but this guy didn't take it seriously. Within a few hours, he habitually broke the contract and died from the rupture of all his meridians.

Dan Lei recorded the entire process and showed it directly to Zhang Chulan to prove the absolute nature of the contract.

Of course, Dan Lei's condition for signing this contract was that Zhang Chulan must teach him the cultivation method of Qi Body Source Flow.

Upon seeing this request, Zhang Chulan immediately smiled disdainfully and stared at Dan Lei as he spoke.
"Tch, after all that talk, it all comes down to this Qi Source Flow."

Mr. Danlei, although I'd like to know if you're lying, my grandfather really didn't pass on the Qi source to me.

Then, Dan Lei simply replied with a casual remark.

“Zhang Chulan, you don’t think I know so much about Feng Baobao’s past. You don’t know that she was the one who saw your grandfather off on his final journey. Before he died, your grandfather passed on his Qi source to her, and she passed it on to you.”

To put it simply, when I first met you at Tianxia Group, I knew you were already cultivating the Qi Source Flow. The Qi within you was like a beacon in the darkness to me.

Dan Lei claimed that he could see the Qi in Zhang Chulan's abdomen, but Zhang Chulan had no choice but to believe him, as the man in front of him had revealed all his secrets.

At this moment, Zhang Chulan realized that he was in a completely disadvantageous position in this negotiation. The other side not only knew Feng Baobao's secret of immortality, but they had almost investigated how many pairs of underwear he owned.

However, Zhang Chulan indicated that he would still try, and answered directly.

"Alright, but I still refuse to sign this contract. I don't have the Qi Source Flow, and I don't have it no matter what you say."

Seeing this, Dan Lei's hands emitted a blue light from his double-handed blue hands, and then he said calmly.
"You should have seen this move before and know its effects. Actually, signing the contract is just my way of obtaining the Qi source in a friendly way."

However, if you refuse, I won't just beat you down and forcibly read your memories today.

However, what I know will spread throughout the entire world of supernatural beings in no time.

If we do a little analysis, your best outcome would be to hand over Feng Baobao to protect yourself.

But the Xu family father and son would never do that; they would protect Feng Baobao at all costs.

As for you, I tend to think you wouldn't put Feng Baobao in such a dangerous situation.

However, by then it won't really matter what you do.

Having abandoned Feng Baobao and without Xu Xiang and the others' protection, even if I attack you and forcibly read your memories, no one will bother me.

If we don't abandon Feng Baobao, you will definitely become a wanted person, and arresting you then will be even more legal and reasonable.

Moreover, when that time comes, I won't need to spare your life; your remains will suffice. The worst-case scenario is that the Qi Source Flow will be completely lost.

Zhang Chulan's face turned green when he saw Dan Lei use Lü Liang's Soul-Clearing Technique, and he felt like he had solved a case.

Dan Lei treated Xu Xiang, so he must have stolen Xu Xiang's memories during the treatment, which is why he knows so much detail. As for the information that Xu Xiang didn't know, he probably learned it from his guard, Li Tongchen.

Based on this deduction, it makes sense that Dan Lei wanted to set up this barrier to isolate sound and electromagnetic signals. If Xu San and Xu Si heard that Dan Lei obtained the intelligence in this way, they would definitely be so ashamed that they would rush up and fight to the death.

Moreover, Zhang Chulan had to admit that Dan Lei's actions so far were indeed aimed at reaching a peaceful deal and avoiding the escalation of the conflict.

Therefore, Zhang Chulan could only verbally reassure him and ask...

"Speaking of which, if you're going to make the whole world know about the baby, aren't you afraid we'll also make your secret known to the whole world? Is there a big difference between resurrecting the dead and achieving immortality?"

Dan Lei simply laughed in response to this question.

"Oh, is that how you understand Old Li?"
Fine, seeing how pitiful you are, I'll give you one more piece of information.

Old Li is a spirit, known as a heroic spirit. Although he can temporarily restore his physical body, he has not been resurrected.

Moreover, only great people who leave their mark on history can return to the present world in a special way.

To put it bluntly, even if the outside world knew about my methods, it wouldn't cause too much of a stir, because the prerequisite for resurrection is that you have to die first, and die as a great person.

Just imagine the trouble it would cause to temporarily recall a great person to the mortal world. Once you all know the truth, you will only discuss sealing this technique with me, instead of taking it for yourselves.

Without their own interests at stake, do you think they'll cause trouble for me first, or for you?

When Zhang Chulan saw that Dan Lei had casually revealed such crucial information about heroic spirits, his expression immediately turned even uglier.

This proves that the other party is convinced that immortality is more attractive to the upper echelons than heroic spirits, and that if he refuses today, Feng Baobao's affair will definitely be known to the whole world.

The only way to continue hiding Feng Baobao's secret and preserve the Qi Source Flow is to take action and kill Dan Lei here.

However, this is extremely risky, because no one can guarantee that Danlei hasn't hidden a piece of information outside, set up to send the secret message out to the group if he doesn't undo the setting within a certain time.

Moreover, even if he were to kill Dan Lei here, he would have to be able to defeat him himself first.

That's Li Tongchen. According to Xu Xiang, as long as he still has the strength he had before his death, even if the three of them (himself, his father, and his sons) joined forces, they wouldn't be able to stop him, and they would most likely be beaten into a corner and run away.

The three of them, along with the baby, need to be able to effectively entangle or suppress Li Tongchen.

If it's just me left, am I really confident that I can keep Danlei here and prevent him from even escaping?

At this moment, Zhang Chulan asked himself honestly, and he had no confidence at all in keeping Dan Lei, even though the other party seemed to be an extraordinary person with healing abilities.

Moreover, once you take action, there's no going back, so Zhang Chulan looked conflicted.

Seeing Zhang Chulan's expression, Dan Lei guessed what he was thinking, so he summoned his flying sword, stepped on it, and floated to Zhang Chulan, saying...
"Zhang Chulan, are you ready to make a move? Then don't hesitate, let me see just how strong the Qi Source Flow really is, and whether it's worth all this effort from me."

However, upon seeing that Dan Lei still possessed the ability to fly on a sword, Zhang Chulan immediately abandoned the idea of ​​fighting.

What a joke! This Danlei can control objects and fly. What do you have to offer to keep him here?

So, Zhang Chulan instantly put on a fawning smile and laughed...

"Master Dan, what are you joking about? I had no intention of making a move."

"Those words were what Xu Si told me to say. Now that I've said them, and you haven't compromised, then things will have to be done according to my plan from now on."

Seeing that Zhang Chulan had used the blame-shifting tactic, Dan Lei knew things had gone well. He didn't care that Zhang Chulan was spouting lies and passing the buck to Xu Si. After landing, he asked...

"Oh? So you mean you're going to sign this agreement?"

Zhang Chulan shook his head and said frankly.

"I'll sign the agreement, but the terms need to be changed. I don't need your promise that everything you say is true."

I need your promise that after signing this contract, you will not tell anyone about Feng Baobao and my secret, nor will you leave behind any voice messages, text messages, passwords, or other information that could reveal the secret.

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei laughed. He realized that Zhang Chulan was digging a hole for him, so he immediately agreed to the agreement.

Dan Lei made a self-compulsory written promise that he would not tell anyone about his and Feng Baobao's secret, nor would he leave any direct or indirect records.

Before sunrise tomorrow, Zhang Chulan needs to teach me all the cultivation methods of Qi Source Flow that he and Feng Baobao know.

As soon as the self-mandatory certificate was signed, Dan Lei immediately dispelled the barrier, then put his arm around Zhang Chulan's shoulder and said...
"Let's go downstairs for hot pot. Don't worry, as long as you give me the cultivation technique before sunrise tomorrow, it won't be against the rules. It won't make a difference if it's just a meal."

Zhang Chulan could only force a smile at this moment.
"Yes, it's not a big deal to waste time on this meal. We still need to explain the situation to Master Xu and the others."

However, Dan Lei then chuckled mischievously.
"It's not us, it's just you. Don't forget, I just signed a self-mandatory statement that I can't say anything about Feng Baobao."

Even if Feng Baobao herself asked me, I couldn't say anything.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan broke out in a cold sweat. He realized that he had gone too far in his efforts to prevent Dan Lei from using Feng Baobao's situation to threaten him again.

This effectively cuts off any possibility of learning about Feng Baobao's background from Dan Lei. She can't even ask Dan Lei about her own affairs anymore. No wonder he signed the agreement so readily just now.

Moreover, in the time to come, everything would need to be explained by him and Feng Baobao, and Dan Lei could have remained completely silent throughout.

Thus, Zhang Chulan, stiff with fear and on the verge of tears, was essentially dragged downstairs by Dan Lei.

Xu Xiang and his two sons sat in the same spot as when Dan Lei arrived, as if they hadn't moved at all.

However, seeing Dan Lei smiling broadly as he pulled the lifeless Zhang Chulan down, he knew that he probably wouldn't need to take any action next.

Then they saw Dan Lei ask Li Tongchen to appear and sit down to eat and drink, saying that he and Zhang Chulan had agreed that they couldn't say anything now, and that he would explain everything.

Faced with the questioning looks from the Xu family father and son, Zhang Chulan had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell them the whole story.

Upon hearing this, Xu San and Xu Si immediately looked constipated, and in the end, they were both a little mentally broken.

Xu Xiang was able to maintain his composure, but at this moment he could only comfort her from the sidelines. Feng Baobao's background was now somewhat clearer; the Eight Extraordinary Techniques were at least a clue.

　Xu Xiang wouldn't call Feng Baobao "A-Wu" in front of distrusted outsiders. After all, Dan Lei isn't Zhang Chulan; they wouldn't proactively reveal Feng Baobao's information.
