The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

Moreover, Ning Feng mastered that legendary swordsmanship in just half a year?!

Seeing Luo De's loss of composure, Yan Rulong calmly added fuel to the fire in his chaotic thoughts.

“At the beginning of the year, Ning Feng was indeed not an Awakened One.”

Pushing up his glasses, Yan Rulong turned around, wiping the notes on the whiteboard as he calmly said:

"If I remember correctly, Ning Feng only successfully awakened his powers two months ago."

Two months...

Two months!

?

The situation has not improved; in fact, it has become even more outrageous.

Rhodes originally thought that his Dao heart would no longer be shattered by others, but he did not expect that he would be severely shaken when he received this shocking fact.

Decades of hard work can't compare to two months of the other party's efforts?

This doesn't make sense!

First of all, putting aside the question of whether this matter is true or not, even if we assume it is true, is there really no cost to it?

In the research of the Dark Ages of the past, there were some forbidden methods.

Among those forbidden methods, there are indeed such techniques, and some are even more exaggerated in speed!

If one fully utilizes all available resources and adds some precious materials, there is a secret technique that can unleash legendary-level power in a very short time.

Of course, the price of such secret techniques is often unacceptable to most people.

The most famous account from the Dark Ages, however, is attributed to the divine intervention.

They would select “Godslayers” from among the believers and bestow upon them legendary power, sometimes even allowing them to serve as vessels for the descent of gods.

Under the long-term erosion of divine power, the lifespan of most divine scroll users will be greatly reduced, and they will return to the embrace of the divine kingdom prematurely.

Rhodes' lips moved, and finally he asked in a low voice:

"What is the price?"

The unchanging law of the extraordinary world is that miracles always come at a price.

After acquiring such talent and ability, what did Ning Feng have to give up?

Will what we have gained now become deadly shackles in the future?

After wiping his hands, Yan Rulong paused, then silently turned around, looking quietly at the man who was likely to become the new branch manager, and slowly spoke:

"He has already paid the price."

"His method of awakening is the oldest and most primitive kind of bloodline awakening. During the battle, his bloodline was corroded by a large amount of succubus blood, and he was passively awakened after experiencing great pain."

"If it weren't for that accident, I think he could have become an Awakened One of the Knowledge Spectrum..."

Yan Rulong always felt regret about this matter, as he knew Ning Feng's abilities best.

Ning Feng's talent is not just limited to photographic memory; his comprehension and expansion abilities are also top-notch.

The voice was calm and showed no signs of anything amiss, but Rod could still sense unease in Yan Rulong's eyes; the other party was not as calm as he appeared.

"If that's not enough, then he paid the price early on in terms of fate."

After their parents passed away, he and Jiang Wan lived a lonely life, as if cursed by fate.

"Or, if killing one's own family can be considered a curse."

The only adoptive father who had any kindness towards them also ended up on that path...

Thinking of this, Yan Rulong silently shook his head.

He had already guessed his mentor's fate, and there was no point in dwelling on the past now that things had come to this.

“I had high hopes for him, but it’s a pity he didn’t pursue a career in command.”

"Perhaps the outside world is more exciting and more suitable for him, but for me, I still hope he's not so big... no, never mind, just pretend I didn't say anything."

If Ning Feng had continued in the command sequence as an awakened member of the knowledge system, his achievements might have been even more dazzling than they are now.

In real combat, a superior command structure can save more lives.

Shaking his head to clear his jumbled thoughts, Yan Rulong looked directly at Luo De and said seriously:

“I thought this position was definitely his, but since he recommended you, you have to show that you are a good match.”

He was just an ordinary person, but the strong will contained in his eyes made Rhodes unconsciously look away.

"Aunt Yan, you're so biased!"

“You never perform like this for me in front of other people.”

Suddenly, a mocking voice came from the doorway, causing Luo De and Yan Rulong to look in that direction.

The two reacted differently when they saw Jiang Wan appear silently at the door.

Rod's thinking was simple... Why Aunt Yan? Isn't Commander Yan a man?

Yan Rulong's face twitched, as if he wanted to say something, but he held back in the end, and finally said with a headache:

"Jiang Wan, you... sigh, remember to knock next time."

"okay!"

Dongdong.

Hearing this, she smiled and knocked on the door. Jiang Wan walked in, laughing and joking.

Yan Rulong looked at her, silently shook his head, but said nothing, and simply gestured for her to sit down to the side.

"Didn't we agree on a time later? Why did you come early?"

Jiang Wan nodded to Rhodes, sat down to the side, and blinked as she heard this, saying:

"Ah, I suddenly found myself with some free time, so I came to visit our beloved Instructor Yan? Or perhaps I've come at the wrong time?"

Suddenly, her gaze swept back and forth between the two middle-aged men with an ambiguous look, and she seemed to understand something...

Should I leave?

Jiang Wan has always been like this, showing little reverence for herself.

Yan Rulong viewed Ning Feng and Jiang Wan as if they were his own children.

Ning Feng is a very obedient and excellent son, and at least he respects me very much.

Jiang Wan isn't exactly bad, she's a good girl, but overall... this little darling is a bit leaky.

"Would it be better to grant the title to someone else?"

Oh.

Hearing this, Jiang Wan sneered, turning her head away from the smile on her face and casually saying:

"He just eloped with another woman."

Rhodes: ?

Yan Rulong: ? ? ?

……

……

Did Ning Feng elope with a bad woman?

In a sense, this statement is both right and wrong.

Shireen is not a bad woman, and they did not elope.

However, in Jiang Wan's eyes, the two of them traveling together was practically eloping...

"Hmph hmph hmph~"

Ok……

In Shirin's eyes, it was pretty much the same.

Once again, Shirin boarded the carriage bound for the Watchers' headquarters, but this time her behavior was completely different from before.

Since there was no one else in the carriage, she simply leaned against Ning Feng.

Just stick it on.

"Hehe, hehehe..."

Chapter 285 He is my man

"Hmm~"

Xilin lay sprawled on Ning Feng, lazily hugging his waist from the side and burying her face in his body.

Ning Feng slid his left hand across the tablet, while his right hand made way for Xilin and landed on her, his fingertips gently brushing through her hair.

Everything inside the carriage seemed peaceful and serene. Shirin's initial excitement gradually subsided, and she slowly drifted off to sleep.

After realizing that Xilin had fallen asleep, Ning Feng did not make any sudden movements, but his hand movements became even gentler.

With his fingers moving silently, Ning Feng flipped through the pages quickly, rapidly absorbing information from the tablet's database.

But this speed was not Ning Feng's limit, because he was multitasking and thinking about how to proceed.

"Considering the worst-case scenario, how will the people in the shadows react after they learn that Shirin has returned?"

When considering such matters, Ning Feng was never an optimistic person; he was used to starting by considering the worst-case scenario.

Even considering the worst-case scenario, the crisis is not yet beyond repair.

The main problem was that Ning Feng made a decision too quickly; after considering that possibility, he immediately chose to take action.

"We reacted very quickly. Even if the other side were to take immediate action, it would only be the beginning of something, and most likely it hasn't even been implemented yet."

The other party would definitely not make any rash moves when Xilin is around; otherwise, everything would be clear as soon as she came forward to explain.

The other party will only choose to promote their message when Xilin is not around, so that once the deed is done, it will be difficult for her to explain herself.
