You promised yourself to be a caged bird, but you became the supreme young master?

"Underground boxing?" Upon hearing this, Lu Heng immediately began to make connections in his mind.

If Black Fist is really as he thinks, then besides going to the Internal Affairs Hall to accept missions, he may have another new way to earn resources.

However, Lu Qingyan in front of him did not respond. Turning back to look at Lu Heng, she saw a handsome and otherworldly young man who had undergone a complete transformation compared to their last meeting, and she was momentarily lost in thought.

Until Lu Heng stretched out a hand and waved it in front of him.

She suddenly realized what was happening.

"What happened to your eyes... and your appearance?"

Realizing she had just lost her composure, Lu Qingyan blushed and quickly asked, as if to change the subject.

"It must be a case of bloodline atavism..."

Lu Heng used the reason he had prepared in advance.

"After I reached the proficient level in the Basic Body Refinement Technique, I must have accidentally triggered a bloodline reversion..."

He then explained the reason for his bloodline reversion to its ancestral form.

The claim of bloodline reversion was a reason he fabricated in a book called "Miscellaneous Talks of the Great Qi Dynasty" to cover up his own life's leap.

In this world, there is no reason better to explain his life leap than atavism.

Ultimately, atavism is no different from a leap in life.

The difference lies in the fact that there is an upper limit to bloodline reversion, and it is also an elusive concept.

Lu Heng, on the other hand, was able to directly achieve a leap in his life level through the accumulation of cultivation.

For the vast majority of people, pursuing ancestral bloodline atonement is no different from trying to catch the moon in a well or a needle in a haystack.

But with a large number of people, even the most unrealistic things can happen.

The book "Da Qi Za Tan" records the story of a lucky young man whose bloodline was reversed, thus defying fate.

And coincidentally... Lu Qingyan had also read this book, and immediately realized what "bloodline atavism" meant.

She looked at the boy before her with complicated emotions in her beautiful eyes, and only spoke after a long while.

"You're so lucky, I'm almost jealous."

But for you, is this really good luck?

However, what she mentioned first was not the matter of bloodline atavism.

The reason is that…

In her opinion, given Lu Heng's original talent and temperament, it was not impossible for him to reach the Qi Refining Secret Realm.

Now, with his bloodline reverting to its ancestral form and awakening with a pair of blue eyes, although he has undergone a transformation in talent, what will he face as a young man from a branch family with no background?

Although Lu Qingyan is also a member of a separate family, her background is ultimately different.

Lu Heng understood why Lu Qingyan said that.

But at times like this, he had nothing to say and could only remain silent.

"you…

"Never mind, your personality..." Lu Qingyan began, seemingly wanting to say something.

But in the end, she seemed to give up and sighed.

Lu Heng was prepared to be seen off and not be seen off.

"Would you be willing to pretend to be my follower?"

The girl in the sky-blue dress spoke casually.

Lu Heng looked at Lu Qingyan in astonishment.

"Don't overthink it... I just think you're alright looking, and now you're quite talented too."

That's why I said that.

"If you don't want to, then forget it," Lu Qingyan explained hastily.

She made this suggestion not because she had taken a liking to Lu Heng.

Although he was surprisingly amazing after his bloodline reverted to its ancestral form, Lu Qingyan was somewhat tempted to retract her suggestion when she thought about how he had completely ignored her before.

The reason she would proactively offer such a seemingly outrageous suggestion is certainly not because she actually needs a follower.

Instead, they offered help in a more tactful way.

After more than two months of contact, Lu Qingyan understood Lu Heng's personality, so she directly proposed that he become her follower.

Even if you have good intentions, the other party will refuse without hesitation.

in principle.

A word that seems utterly absurd and powerless in this world.

But the boy in front of me is indeed a boy with principles.

For example, regarding the promise she made earlier, the boy only needed to take the initiative to ask to become her follower.

Lu Qingyan didn't believe Lu Heng was unaware of this.

But in the end, Lu Heng chose to exchange this promise for an easier task.

From that time on, Lu Qingyan had a vague idea of ​​the boy's personality.

I don't want to owe anyone anything!

Of course, it's not that they're rigidly unwilling to owe anything, but rather that they're unwilling to proactively owe anyone anything.

When Lu Qingyan realized this, she was both annoyed and amused.

In this world, how could anyone help someone for no reason?

What's wrong with proactively asking for help?

But Lu Qingyan still offered the suggestion she had anticipated.

There is no other reason.

I just want to make a pure friend who asks nothing of me!

It was precisely because Lu Heng was this kind of person that she chose to become friends with him.

"Thank you..." Lu Heng did not refuse. He did need help, and there was no need to pretend to be rich when he was in a difficult situation.

"So how should you address me now?" Lu Qingyan glanced at Lu Heng teasingly.

"Miss Qingyan..." What could Lu Heng say in response? He could only speak helplessly.

"No need to add Miss," Lu Qingyan reminded him.

"Qingyan..." Lu Heng hesitated for a moment this time, but still spoke.

"From now on, when no one's around, you can call me that," the girl said with satisfaction.

Lu Heng nodded.

Unexpectedly, yet logically, the trouble he was about to face vanished without a trace.

"Let me tell you about the two questions you came to me about."

Lu Qingyan had not forgotten why Lu Heng had come to find her.

"It's the first evaluation, and you didn't come to see me today. But if you come to my house for a mission tomorrow, I should take the initiative to see you."

Lu Qingyan said something unexpected.

Lu Heng was somewhat curious, but chose to continue listening.

"Speaking of which, what do you know about the first rating?"

"What changes might occur this time?" Lu Qingyan asked in return.

"In the past, the first evaluation placed more emphasis on cultivation level and combat skills, which are closely related to cultivation."

This first evaluation, it seems, is based on the fact that the higher-ups are dissatisfied with the practical experience of graduates from the Foreign Languages ​​Department.

"Then it must be related to actual combat." Lu Heng replied calmly, expressing his thoughts.

"That's right, this rating is indeed related to actual combat."

"And it's a life-or-death struggle." Lu Qingyan said something unexpected again.

"How could that be? Isn't that like draining the pond to catch all the fish?"

Lu Heng asked with some confusion.

"It's not about making our own department fight to the death."

Lu Qingyan responded to Lu Heng's question.

"And what about the person you're fighting to the death with?"

Since the goal is to gain practical experience, the opponent must also be a capable one.

But Lu Heng was unwilling to kill innocent people, so he asked.
