After the spiritual energy was restored: Goddess girlfriends came knocking.

A month has passed.

Lin Chu searched through almost all the available materials in the library.

The worst guesses all came true.

That day, he was sitting in the courtyard, flipping through an ancient book.

Footsteps could be heard outside the courtyard.

Liu Ying walked over from under the corridor, her expression somewhat solemn.

"Young Master."

Lin Chu looked up from the book.

"What's wrong?"

"A maid from the clan has gone missing."

Lin Chu put down the book.

"What's going on?"

"The missing maid is named Lin Xiu. She is a servant born into the family, and her ancestors have worked in the clan for generations."

"Nascent Soul stage cultivation."

Lin Chu nodded, signaling her to continue.

"We've checked within the clan, and no one has seen her leave Tianlan City."

"The last time he appeared was when he brought food to Miss Ning."

"There has been no news since then."

Lin Chu frowned slightly.

A living, breathing person, and a servant born into the Lin family.

More importantly, the last trace was related to Ji Ning.

He subconsciously looked out of the courtyard.

Ji Ning was fast asleep, nestled on the back of the enlarged Rolling Roll.

Sunlight fell on her face, her small mouth was slightly open, and drool smeared all over her back.

Lin Chu withdrew her gaze and shook her head.

"If you have no clue, go to the Yantian Division and have Elder Shang do some divination."

"Take my token."

Liu Ying bowed slightly.

"Yes."

Yantian Division.

One of the core intelligence agencies of the Lin family.

On the surface, it is just an inconspicuous old bookstore, hidden in the west of the city.

In reality, it controls all of the Lin family's secret networks in the Taixu Spirit Realm.

The master of the business, Shang Wuwang, cultivates the way of deduction.

For him, the consequences of being a Nascent Soul stage maid were almost negligible.

Lin Chu watched the fireflies leave before turning her gaze away.

He picked up the ancient book beside him, but did not rush to open it.

After a while, he looked up at Ji Ning again.

The little girl wrinkled her nose in her sleep and mumbled something.

Unconsciously, she gently pulled up the exposed half of her clothes.

The disappearance of a maid won't cause much of a stir.

But if it's related to Ji Ning, then it's a different story.

Lin Chu recalled the fear that the Enlightened Immortal Seed exuded when it faced Ji Ning during their first encounter.

His brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Could it be that Ji Ning's constitution holds some secret that she doesn't know about?

I flipped through a book, trying to calm myself down.

But the affairs of Blue Star, the affairs of the Soul Devourer Clan, and the affairs of Ji Ning were all churning in his mind.

"No rush."

"One at a time."

Lin Chu closed the book, walked to the window, and stood there for a long time.

Finally, he sighed.

As expected, I still need to go back to Blue Star to deal with the matter.

Otherwise, one's mind will be restless, and one will be unable to enter a meditative state during cultivation.

But there's one more thing to do before going back.

Lin Chu flipped his hand and took out a sound transmission talisman, whispering a few words.

A moment later, Yu Sheng arrived.

He knelt on one knee, his voice respectful.

"Owner."

Lin Chu sat at the head of the table, sizing him up.

The Feather Saint of today is somewhat different from when I first met him.

The sharp aura emanating from him had diminished considerably.

"Get up," Lin Chu said. "You don't need to kneel when we meet again."

Yu Sheng remained silent for a moment, then nodded and stood up.

But his body was still slightly hunched.

Lin Chu spoke again.

"You don't need to call me master."

"Just call me Young Master."

Yu Sheng paused, then lowered his body even further.

"Yes, young master."

Lin Chu took out two jade pendants, one black and one white, from her sleeve.

He casually tossed the black one to Yu Sheng.

Yu Sheng quickly caught it with both hands.

"From now on, you will do one thing for me."

Lin Chu looked at him.

"Establish an organization in the name of the Lin family."

"To cultivate a group of loyal Deadpools."

"Let's call the organization Soul Guard."

"This black jade pendant is my keepsake."

"If needed, you can use this to find my sword attendants. Within reasonable limits, they will provide you with support."

Yu Sheng looked up.

Lin Chu looked at him.

"You should know that you can't help me right now."

"So, if this is done well..."

"I might consider setting you free."

Yu Sheng's expression finally changed.

He gripped the jade pendant tightly and nodded emphatically.

"Yes, young master."

Lin Chu waved his hand.

"By the way, be sure to keep this jade pendant safe, as it may change at some point in time."

"You'll understand the specifics when the time comes."

"Go."

Yu Sheng bowed deeply, then turned and left.

Lin Chu only looked away after that figure disappeared outside the courtyard gate.

Feeling the wisp of the divine soul belonging to the Feather Saint within his body.

If this person harbors ulterior motives, this wisp of divine soul will naturally sense it.

At that time, without saying a word, a single thought will be enough to reduce him to ashes.

"I hope you can seize this opportunity."

Lin Chu withdrew her gaze and turned to walk towards the quiet room.

Sit cross-legged, take a deep breath, and close your eyes.

Within his consciousness, the Book of Myriad Realms slowly opened.

As that familiar power surged forth, his consciousness was gradually drawn away from the Void Spirit Realm.

"System, back to normal."

……

Blue Star, Shenzhen, hilltop villa.

Lin Chu opened her eyes in the quiet room.

The familiar furnishings in the villa's quiet room came into view.

A futon, an incense burner, and a landscape painting that I casually hung on the wall.

With each breath, the concentration of spiritual energy in the air was so thin that he was momentarily disoriented.

It was like jumping from the deep sea into shallow water.

Lin Chu let out a breath.

Even now, at the mid-stage of Mahayana Buddhism, after experiencing the trans-dimensional changes in time and space, there is still a moment of blurred consciousness.

Pick up the phone that was placed on the stone platform beside him.

The screen lights up.

Time, date.

Not a single point off.

It was the same moment when I first entered the Book of Myriad Realms.

"Tsk."

Even though she was prepared, Lin Chu still couldn't help but sigh.

"The Book of Myriad Realms is truly outrageously awesome. I wonder which great god created it."

He stood up and looked down at his outfit.

The immortal robes from the Void Spirit Realm looked out of place under the lights of Blue Star.

"It's too eye-catching."

He took off his immortal robe and took out a set of clean everyday clothes from his storage bag to change into.

She simply tied her long hair up, pushed open the door of the quiet room, and walked towards the hall.

A faint, rustling sound came from the kitchen.

Interspersed with the voices of Ruoshui and Cangyao.

Xiao Xiao is lying on the sofa.

She wore a beige loungewear dress, her two fair legs were dangling behind her, and her toes were dangling back and forth.

She held her phone in both hands, looking at something, and occasionally smiled.

Caiwei sat quietly in a single chair by the window, turning the pages of a book.

Lin Chu stood at the top of the stairs, watching this scene, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

I haven't seen them for a long time.

Xiao Xiao and Cai Wei noticed and looked up at the same time.

With just one glance, the expressions on their faces froze.

Caiwei's hand, which was turning the pages of the book, stopped in mid-air.

Her small mouth was slightly open, and she was still holding the phone in front of her face.

At this moment, Lin Chu was dressed in a white casual outfit, her long hair was simply tied up, and she had a faint smile on her face.

It's still that familiar face, but the facial features look younger, and the hair has grown quite a bit longer.

The biggest change is still the temperament that emanates from within.

It carried an indescribable air of nobility.

Caiwei slowly put the book down, her eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Xiao Xiao hadn't even reacted yet.

Lin Chu had already walked to the sofa.

Then, he squatted down, reached out his hands, and pinched the little face.

"Huh?!"

Her little eyes widened instantly.

"Hey! What are you doing!"

She started dancing wildly, her phone falling onto the sofa, her legs kicking erratically.

Lin Chu smiled and kneaded even more vigorously.

"Haven't seen you for days, and you still dare to glare at me?"

"I didn't! It's just... Hey, please let go!"

Little Xiao puffed out her cheeks and glared at him angrily.

But I felt a sense of relief.

The angle and force with which I pinched my face didn't change.

"Brother Lin Chu, you're so mean!"

Lin Chu then released her hand and took the opportunity to scratch her nose.

Xiao Xiao covered her nose, about to roll her eyes, when she suddenly realized something and her whole body trembled.

"etc!"

She suddenly jumped up from the sofa and stared at Lin Chu.

"Brother Lin Chu, you, you, you! You only went into seclusion for three days, how did you jump from the peak of the Void Refinement stage to the mid-stage of the Mahayana stage?!"

Caiwei stood up at this moment.

I only noticed the changes in Lin Chu's appearance and temperament, and didn't think about his cultivation level.

She stared at Lin Chu, as if she had thought of something.

"What's going on... Could it be...?"

Caiwei's voice trembled slightly.

Lin Chu rubbed her little head, stood up, and walked towards Caiwei.

Caiwei was still staring at him blankly, about to say something, when before she could speak, she was pulled into a warm embrace.

She froze.

My heart skipped a beat, and my cheeks flushed slightly.

The commotion in the living room alerted the two women in the kitchen.
