Chapter 481: Chapter 480: Contact with the Light and Shadow Association

Indeed.

Xiong Kang nodded, his eyes narrowing, "They don’t know that although my brother-in-law is the vice dean of the Crimson Academy, he is also a member of Sha Fei."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zixun looked at Xiong Kang with surprise.

He had already married Qing Ling’er, yet the Light and Shadow Association didn’t know Wang Linfan was one of Sha Fei’s people?

The members of the Light and Shadow Association, although sometimes rather dense, couldn’t be that stupid.

"Not many people in the Human Gathering Place know about my brother-in-law and sister’s marriage."

After pausing, the look in Xiong Kang’s eyes softened, "My brother-in-law doesn’t want to bring any trouble to my sister, so he chose not to announce it, and he’s also facing pressure from his family."

Lu Zixun, feeling the situation was filled with melodramatic elements, imagined several scenarios but couldn’t figure out what sort of trouble there could be between them.

He simply shook his head and asked quietly, "So the question is, what did the Light and Shadow Association say to my brother-in-law?"

The Light and Shadow Association wanting to make contact with Sha Fei’s people undoubtedly had ulterior motives, akin to a weasel paying a new year’s visit to chickens—not to be trusted.

Moreover, this was on the eve of the battle for supremacy, which made it all the more suspicious.

"We don’t know yet; my sister was waiting for me in the Trial Tower earlier to discuss this matter."

Xiong Kang smiled, "Don’t worry, we’ll talk about it over dinner. My brother-in-law will explain."

At this moment, Lin Siyin and Qing Ling’er, who had been whispering in the bedroom, came out.

Lin Siyin’s cheeks were tinged with crimson, her shy demeanor stopping Lu Zixun in his tracks.

Holding Lu Zixun in her arms, Lin Siyin rubbed his back, "In the upcoming battle for supremacy, the Crimson Academy might place me in Zone 9 to get a feel for it in advance."

Great, Lu Zixun was somewhat speechless.

Now he absolutely couldn’t remain uninvolved and indifferent.

"Mhm."

Nodding slightly, Lu Zixun said, "I understand."

After handing the talisman manual to Lin Siyin, Lu Zixun’s gaze shifted to Qing Ling’er, "Sister, do you know where the World Tree of our world is located?"

An Xiao, who had been lost in thought to the point of nonexistence beside them, suddenly lit up at the mention of the World Tree, looking at Qing Ling’er with eager anticipation.

"The World Tree?"

With a puzzled look, Qing Ling’er pondered for a moment, then shook her head, "I’ve never heard of such a thing."

Upon hearing this, An Xiao’s expression immediately dimmed.

Witnessing this, Lin Siyin bit Lu Zixun’s ear and whispered, "How is it that every time you go out, you bring back a few young ladies, huh?"

Looking up at a jealous Lin Siyin, Lu Zixun tried to resolve this question without a right answer by acting cute.

Sadly, the effect wasn’t quite as intended, and it backfired.

She opened her red lips and gave Lu Zixun’s ear a bite.

Seeing Lu Zixun grimacing, Lin Siyin huffed, "Every time you feel guilty, you try to act cute. Explain yourself properly."

Lu Zixun, feeling a bit of pain in his ear, earnestly explained how he had encountered An Xiao.

After all, it was such a coincidence, and he hadn’t done anything particularly strange; there was no reason for guilt.

"Really?"

With her Phoenix Eyebrow raised, Lin Siyin looked doubtful.

"Really."

Lu Zixun assured her earnestly, "If you don’t believe me, I’ll take you to meet Zhen Zhuoxiu tomorrow. He was with me when we encountered An Xiao."

"I don’t want to, your subordinates are all in cahoots with you."

Though Lin Siyin haughtily refused, her facial expression revealed a somewhat trusting look, about seventy to eighty percent convinced.

Lu Zixun finally breathed a sigh of relief, grateful Lin Siyin wasn’t like other girls who enjoyed making unreasonable scenes; otherwise, he really wouldn’t know how to deal with it.

But...

That was Lin Siyin for you, Lu Zixun wouldn’t have it any other way with other girls.

"Time to eat."

At that moment, Wang Linfan, sporting an apron and the look of a domesticated husband, rested his hand on the apron and called out from the kitchen.

Despite being the vice dean, Wang Linfan’s culinary skills were impressive, at least according to Lu Zixun, who couldn’t praise them enough.

After dinner, Wang Linfan’s gaze turned to Lin Siyin, "You’ve learned about ninety percent of the talismanic arts from the academy. I’ll see if someone can find more of the talismanic technique for you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Siyin smiled slightly and said, "No need, brother-in-law, Da Ju has already exchanged one for me."

She handed the talisman manual from her talisman storage to Wang Linfan.

After a brief look, Wang Linfan nodded, "Not bad, these are mostly talismans not available at Crimson Academy, enough for you to cultivate to J-level."

"Uh..."

After hesitating a bit, Lin Siyin spoke up, "Should we make a copy for Crimson Academy?"

"There’s no need for that."

Wang Linfan shook his head and looked at Lu Zixun with a smile, "Otherwise, certain individuals might get jealous, and I, a mere vice dean, can’t handle that."

"It’s fine, with me here, Da Ju wouldn’t dare."

Lin Siyin said with a chuckle as she pinched Lu Zixun’s cheek.

In the end, Wang Linfan did not take the talisman manual.

He said that the members of Crimson Academy must rely on their own efforts to improve, and the academy wouldn’t go out of its way for them.

His inquiry regarding Lin Siyin earlier was already a special exception he had made.

"Did Kang Ning tell you about the Light and Shadow Association reaching out to me?"

While Lin Siyin and the others went to wash dishes in the kitchen, and only Lu Zixun and Wang Linfan were in the living room, Wang Linfan asked.

"Just mentioned it."

Lu Zixun nodded, waiting for Wang Linfan to continue.

"They think I’m underutilized as a vice dean at Sha Fei, so they offered very generous terms."

Pausing for a moment, a cold glint flashed in Wang Linfan’s eyes, "Putting aside those conditions, the main goal of the Light and Shadow Association is for me to take on the role of High Priest."

Lu Zixun, not fully understanding the importance of the position, wore an expression of awe and listened quietly.

"They don’t even know what they claim to believe in, yet they strut around as if they’ve struck it rich, it’s truly indescribable."

Wang Linfan sighed, "The duty of the High Priest is to control the prayers of the Light and Shadow Association followers, but another power involves mobilizing the Light and Shadow Power."

"The Light and Shadow Association may not have said it outright, but from this information, we can deduce that they want to get involved in the upcoming power struggle."

After listening to Wang Linfan, Lu Zixun’s eyes were full of contemplation.

The Light and Shadow Association wanting to join the struggle for power was unexpectedly surprising.

After all, Lu Zixun really didn’t know what they stood to gain from the struggle.

Suddenly, Lu Zixun thought of the shells.

Only the Light and Shadow Association could manufacture them; were they planning to mass-produce shells during this battle?

Lu Zixun couldn’t help feeling a chill in his heart, thinking this possibility was highly likely.
