Chapter 294: Chapter 294: Poaching

"Raise your head!"

Ling Chen said.

Hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen slowly stood up and looked towards Ling Chen, her eyes filled with fervent worship.

Seeing Ye Zhenzhen’s sincere expression, Ling Chen nodded and said, "Yes."

"Thank you, Young Master Xie!"

Ye Zhenzhen exclaimed joyfully,

as if being a servant was a matter of great pride.

"Please, Young Master, control the Divine Soul!"

Ye Zhenzhen spoke again.

Controlling the Divine Soul is the most effective way to dominate others.

Ling Chen smiled and said, "No need, I trust you!"

"Moreover, you should be glad. You made the wisest decision! I believe one day in the future, you will thank your current self."

"Thank you, Young Master, for your trust!"

Ye Zhenzhen gratefully responded.

Ling Chen waved his hand and said, "Before you go to Heavenly Sound Academy, there is no need to reveal our relationship. We will discuss everything once we arrive at the Heavenly Sound Academy; you may leave now."

"Yes!"

Ye Zhenzhen respectfully responded.

After Ye Zhenzhen left, Ling Chen also left the Yunqi Inn.

"Uncle Cang, come out!"

In a dark alley, Ling Chen paused and spoke softly.

"Young Master Chen!"

A figure swooped down from the sky, greeting Ling Chen slightly.

It was Liu Qingcang.

Ling Chen turned to look at Liu Qingcang and smiled, "I didn’t expect, Uncle Cang, you still have such an identity?"

Liu Qingcang said, "Young Master Chen jests, it has been many years. Today I presumptuously claimed to be your master, please forgive me!"

"No worries!"

Ling Chen waved his hand, saying, "Today, when you made a move, you didn’t expose your Dark Night identity, did you?"

"No."

Liu Qingcang smiled and said, "I joined the Dark Night, and even Xia Jiuyou does not know."

"That’s good."

Ling Chen nodded.

After a moment of silence, Ling Chen asked Liu Qingcang, "Uncle Cang, can you tell me about Xia Jiuyou?"

To rescue his father, he could never avoid Xia Jiuyou.

Moreover, even if Xia Jiuyou didn’t seek him, he still needed to confront Xia Jiuyou!

How could he possibly let go of the main culprit responsible for his father’s imprisonment over so many years?

Now knowing that Liu Qingcang and Xia Jiuyou once were opponents, he naturally wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about Xia Jiuyou through Uncle Cang.

Liu Qingcang looked at Ling Chen, smiled, and said, "I understand what you mean. But now, you’re still too weak. I can only tell you that Xia Jiuyou possesses a Sacred Body, and his Cultivation is at least of the second level of the Palace Mansion Realm. You still have a long way to go!"

"Can’t you be more specific? Like what exactly is the Sacred Body that Xia Jiuyou possesses?"

Ling Chen pressed.

"Young Master Chen, knowing too much now will not benefit you. Telling you his Cultivation level is already a limit. What you need to do is aim for this target!"

Liu Qingcang said, "Only if you become a King of the Palace Mansion Realm or a King Grade Divine Thought Master will you possibly defeat Xia Jiuyou."

"When will I know the whole truth?"

Ling Chen persistently asked.

"When you reach the seventh level of the Primordial Pill Realm, I will tell you!"

Liu Qingcang responded.

"Alright!"

Ling Chen’s eyes sparkled.

The seventh level of the Primordial Pill Realm, for him, was not that far away.

Seeing Ling Chen’s determined and confident look, Liu Qingcang nodded gently and said, "Well done! To be honest, your performance today surprised me. I didn’t even know, when did you boy manage to successfully cultivate even the top grade Heavenly Spirit Technique?"

"Haha!"

Ling Chen chuckled slightly and said, "Uncle Cang, there’s still a lot you don’t know about me!"

"Good lad!"

Liu Qingcang looked at Ling Chen in surprise.

"That’s it, Young Master Chen. You head back; I’ll keep watch nearby. In front of others, we’ll refer to each other as Master and disciple. You can act freely in any matter, as long as Xia Jiuyou does not personally intervene, I can manage the consequences for you."

Liu Qingcang finally said.

"Alright!"

Ling Chen nodded heavily.

With Uncle Cang’s assurance, he could finally give his all without any reservations.

...

Back at Yunqi Inn, Ling Chen did not return to his room but went to the ninth floor.

The ninth floor is the residence of Heavenly Sound Academy.

The people of Heavenly Sound Academy were somewhat puzzled by Ling Chen’s arrival.

It seemed that none of the students had a particularly good relationship with Ling Chen.

"Young Master Ling, may I ask what brings you here?"

Palace Master Qi Min of Heavenly Sound Academy asked with a smile.

Although Ling Chen is a student and she is the Palace Master, she did not dare to treat him like she would an ordinary student.

It must be known that his strength surpasses hers.

"Palace Master Qi, you are too kind."

Ling Chen smiled and said, "I am here to see Senior Xu Lin!"

"Xu Lin?"

Qi Min was slightly stunned.

These two didn’t seem to have any relationship, did they?

"Xu Lin, could you take Young Master Ling to your room?"

Qi Min said with a smile.

"Yes, Palace Master!"

Xu Lin nodded and brought Ling Chen to his room.

He, too, was unclear why Ling Chen was looking for him.

"May I know what Young Master Ling seeks me for?"

Xu Lin asked.

Ling Chen took a sip of tea and said lightly, "I’m here to poach people. I hope you’ll join me in Heavenly Star Academy!"

"Spit!"

Xu Lin spat out a mouthful of tea.

He had seen straightforward, but never someone this blunt.

The conversation opened directly with the clear intention.

A stream of Spiritual Power formed a soundproof barrier enveloping the two, then Xu Lin spoke, "Young Master Ling, I’ve already decided to join King Star Academy."

"Twenty."

Ling Chen suddenly spoke this mysteriously.

"What?"

Xu Lin countered.

Although he kept a calm face, a storm was already brewing in his heart.

Because ’twenty’ was his code name in the Dark Night Son.

"Correct!"

Seeing that Xu Lin remained composed, Ling Chen commended him, then continued, "Shadow Spirit Body and Twenty, you should understand what I can say, right?"

"I don’t understand what you mean."

Xu Lin still shook his head.

Ling Chen grinned and said, "That’s fine! But in front of me, there’s no need to hide. If you don’t join Heavenly Star Academy, I will report your information to the Ghost Guard."

"Who exactly are you?"

Xu Lin’s eyes sharpened.

Hearing that Ling Chen would report to the Ghost Guard, Xu Lin immediately became restless.

He had already secretly notified his Protector.

He was no match for Ling Chen, and to protect his identity, he had to seek help from the Protector.

Seeing Xu Lin’s defensive posture, Ling Chen finally confirmed.

"Alright, there’s no need to call him. I am Nineteen."

Ling Chen spoke.

"Nineteen?"

Xu Lin’s eyes sharpened.

Recognizing Ling Chen’s Divine Thought Master abilities, he finally understood why Ling Chen knew him so well.

So this person was the top-grade Divine Thought Master who became a Dark Night Son alongside him.

"So you are Nineteen!"

Xu Lin exclaimed in surprise.

He knew that the selection of the Dark Night Son had age requirements.

But Ling Chen was too young; he hadn’t connected Ling Chen with the Nineteen of Dark Night Son.

"One of us at King Star Academy, one at Heavenly Star Academy, isn’t that perfect?"

Xu Lin asked.

This way, both could gather information from the two academies.

Ling Chen, however, shook his head and said, "No need, it’s better if you follow me."
