Chapter 374: Chapter 374: A Man with Two Shadows, and a Place "What kind of business opportunities do they have?" "Their entire family was destroyed because of you, because of Qianlong, this unique experience is their business opportunity!" "Understood!" Lin Xiaosu nodded lightly, "You hope they infiltrate the Nine Headed Snake." "Yes!" "There are two issues," Lin Xiaosu said. "First, the people of the Nine Headed Snake aren’t fools. As soon as they know they’re your students, regardless of their business opportunities, the Nine Headed Snake would still reluctantly give them up." Lin Weiyang smiled, "No, on the contrary, knowing they are my students, the people of the Nine Headed Snake are even less likely to give up." "Why?" "Because they will definitely try to actually turn the undercover agents we send in. Once that happens, this undercover agent can turn against me!" Lin Xiaosu said, "This is what I wanted to say as my second point... The second point is: What if they really get turned?" Lin Weiyang smiled, "That’s exactly what I want!" Lin Xiaosu raised his gaze, staring at him in surprise. Lin Weiyang said, "Only if they truly get turned will they have a chance to access the real secrets of this organization. Once they truly access it, everything they know will also be known to me!" "Is this some kind of miraculous technique?" Lin Xiaosu asked. Lin Weiyang laughed, "Let’s assume it as such." Lin Xiaosu also smiled, "This matter ends here. Are there any other topics?" "There’s one!" Lin Weiyang said, "Pay attention to a person!" "Who?" "No one knows who he is, but he has two shadows." "Alright! Anything else?" "The last point... There’s one more place, not within Daxia, in the Middle East." "What place?" "..." Lin Weiyang mentioned a place name, "If someday, you need to make a trip to the Middle East, anything related to this place, any person, any event, you must be extremely cautious. No matter how many knives in the world can kill you, there’s one that comes from this place." Lin Xiaosu stood up, "Thanks!" Lin Weiyang also stood up, "No need to thank!" "Farewell!" "Safe travels!" Lin Xiaosu strolled down, passing through the small bamboo grove ahead, scanning the grove with his gaze briefly before striding down Mianbi Mountain. Lin Weiyang stood in the pavilion, his gaze directed at his retreating figure. Until his silhouette faded into the mountain path. He spoke, "Have Ziyi come over!" The beautiful robot went to the small bamboo house, gently knocking on the door. The bamboo door opened, and Li Ziyi, in a purple outfit, stood at the doorway, her gaze peering through the crack, watching the path Lin Xiaosu took down the mountain. This was a very cautious pose. "Teacher wants you to come over." "Now?" Li Ziyi was a bit nervous. "Yes!" Li Ziyi hesitated for a moment, turned back, picked up a trench coat, flipping it to cover her head completely, before she walked step by step along the bluestone path and reached the pavilion, "Teacher." Lin Weiyang laughed, "Worried he’s not far enough?" Li Ziyi said, "He’s a detective, his vision has always been legendary." "More than just legendary vision? His secrets are far more than you imagine!" Lin Weiyang said, "Actually, before I began speaking, he already knew you were in this villa and had locked onto your precise location." Li Ziyi’s face changed instantly from within her raised trench coat hood. "No need to be nervous, this is the liberation method I promised you!" Lin Weiyang said, "He’s discovered you and hasn’t made a move. Next, he’ll tell Qianlong your wanted notice is nominally dead." Li Ziyi trembled all over, "Why is this?" "Because, for now, both he and I have reached a tacit agreement; we agree that you and your partner are very suitable for infiltrating the Nine Headed Snake." Li Ziyi’s heart surged wave after wave... After a long time, she gently said, "Tainted undercover agent, right?" Undercover agent, everyone understands. But with the word "tainted," only those who understand will understand. Li Ziyi is not a fool; she grasped her teacher’s meaning. The teacher and Lin Xiaosu have reached a consensus that she and Liu Qianxun will infiltrate the Nine Headed Snake. To become a teacher’s undercover agent. Becoming a teacher’s undercover agent isn’t a psychological barrier, but the teacher has reached a consensus with Lin Xiaosu... Teacher, what kind of teacher are you indeed? Lin Weiyang slowly lifted his head, "Ziyi, in the nine Chapters of the ’Wisdom Book,’ real or illusory, friend or foe doesn’t need formatting; the wise know the greater trend, recognize circumstances, are adept at leveraging, and master the shift. That’s how one reaches small achievements!" Li Ziyi gently breathed out, "Teacher, I understand!" "Understanding is good; this is your and your partner’s identification!" Lin Weiyang lightly tapped the wheelchair armrest, the armrest separated revealing many interesting items inside. He took out two IDs, "Wang Fang, Lin Ruo. These names seem too casual, but it’s alright, everyone understands it in their hearts. Just make do!" Li Ziyi accepted the two IDs along with a stack of data behind them. She bowed to the teacher and left the pavilion. Headed to a basement. In the basement, a woman with an explosive figure is training in the training hall. Bang! A tumbler was sent flying ten yards by her. A thunderous explosion came from the basement. Her figure spun violently, rising over five meters, swinging a kick toward the beam ahead. The steel beam collided with her right leg, a muffled sound resounded... Suddenly, her legs crossed, seemingly leaping over the beam out of thin air, landing at the basement door, which simultaneously opened. Li Ziyi stood quietly at the door. "Ziyi!" The young lady was Liu Qianxun. Liu Qianxun, who practiced Ancient Martial arts, now had cultivation no less than her father’s, perhaps even surpassing it. "Qianxun, Lin Xiaosu was just here." Li Ziyi uttered these words, causing Liu Qianxun’s entire body to tremble: "Exposed?" "Yes! We are completely exposed!" Li Ziyi replied, "But it’s alright, the teacher and Lin Xiaosu have come to an agreement..." A series of words flowed from her mouth as Liu Qianxun’s eyes widened, "The teacher collaborating with that bastard Lin Xiaosu? Expecting us to do their bidding? Dream on! Even if I have to go to jail a thousand times, it’s impossible..." "I’ve decided! We will do it!" Li Ziyi interrupted her, firmly speaking seven decisive words. Liu Qianxun’s expression changed like the clouds and wind, "Ziyi, can you really forget the hatred of your family’s massacre? Can you really serve the enemy?" "The teacher just explained the nine Chapters of ’Wisdom’ to me, the virtual is real, the real is virtual, enemy and friend need not be formatted, the wise know great trends, recognize great trends, excel at leveraging trends and are adept at transforming trends... I’ve understood, I hope you do too!" Liu Qianxun stared into her eyes, her chest gently rising and falling... As for Lin Xiaosu, he descended Mianbi Mountain. Walking down. He was not alone on Mianbi Mountain. He strolled while several others were jogging. The mountains were serene, the grass lush and flowers vibrant. The mountain wind blew, occasionally yellow leaves fell lightly. In Lin Xiaosu’s mind, it seemed as if he experienced the cycle of flowers blooming and wilting... He went to Bai shan residence, seeing Lin Weiyang in person. The impression left by this professor-turned-boss was extraordinary. Before him, it seemed Lin Weiyang made a major error right from the start, exposing his connection with Li Ziyi. However, he voluntarily laid out this connection before Lin Xiaosu, attaching a rather brilliant plan. He also told Lin Xiaosu about a person with two shadows and a place. Everything seemed to confirm his initial assertion: on this path, there aren’t many people, so every fellow traveler is weighty. Fellow traveler! These three words need high concentration for today’s meeting. Yet, Lin Xiaosu didn’t forget the mental storm that erupted in his brain upon encountering these eyes. His spiritual power surged! It was an unprecedented event. If the spiritual power surged... It indicated that someone was using a wondrous Magic to "browse" his brain! If he didn’t possess spiritual power, his brain would have been entirely read! He had spiritual power, and upon sensing the oddity, immediately constructed a defensive fortification, preventing Lin Weiyang from accessing the secrets within his brain. Yet, it left Lin Xiaosu highly shocked. For he realized Lin Weiyang possessed Subdivine Skill, and his mastery of it far exceeded Lin Xiaosu’s, reaching at least Level 30! Lin Xiaosu had just reached Level 20, while Lin Weiyang was at Level 30. What standard is Level 30? Gazing into one’s heart! Even preliminarily possessing the means for virtual assassination. How does one kill? They release the secondary deity’s power, erasing an ordinary person’s consciousness with ease! If Lin Xiaosu didn’t possess the Subdivine Skill himself, entering Bai shan residence today, his life could well have been in Lin Weiyang’s hands, even if he couldn’t lift or carry, walked tremblingly, basically requiring a wheelchair for mobility, yet killing an ordinary person is but a thought away. Speaking of his frail body. Lin Xiaosu found the root cause. Much like the ancient expert in the Time Space River within him: what Big Yellow said... The Law of Heavenly Dao balance. Heavenly Dao preaches balance, if one aspect is overly prominent, another will weaken, those too outstanding in Subdivine Skill, early repercussions include frailty, mid-term repercussions are precociousness leading to premature death, eventual repercussions perhaps are heavenly punishment. Lin Weiyang is frail. Isn’t this the flip side of Subdivine Skill being too exceptional? Interpreted from a fantastical perspective. Also interpretable from modern technological biology theory: organisms are peculiar, the brain seems to occupy a small proportion of the body, yet supporting brain activity requires considerable energy. An overly developed brain consuming all body energy, inevitably leads to poor physical capabilities. Lin Xiaosu seems to be an exception. Because he practiced Ancient Martial arts, and specifically the Rejuvenation Secret Technique with Life Force as the core foundation, for now he isn’t troubled by this, but the future remains uncertain. After all, reaching the ultimate level in Subdivine Skill, one can reshape the world, requiring unimaginable energy. Ahead by the roadside, a beauty sat on a rock, gazing toward the South Sea, her face exhibiting a hint of melancholy. Lin Xiaosu suddenly halted. The beauty on the rock slowly turned, her face half-smiling, half-not: "I’m truly keen to discuss with my mother, if a man goes on a trip with his girlfriend, leaves her hanging for nine days entirely like a kite with a broken string, does he qualify as a scumbag boyfriend?"
