Chapter 150: Chapter 150: The Phoenix Sword Saint’s Visit

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon.

In the morning, Ling Yi and Lin Shurou went next door to help Yunji and Xia Wanqing clean up the house. After they were done, they had home for lunch, which the other two also came and followed.

Because Lin Shurou’s skin had been getting better and better these days, it had become the main discussion they had during lunch.

After Ling Yi nodded in agreement, Lin Shurou told the two of them that it was because they had a hot spring with beautiful features at home.

When the four of them returned, the three women went upstairs together.

‘Soaking in the hot spring… It seems that they will come here often in the future.’

Ling Yi randomly pulled a wooden chair and sat by the window in the living room. He looked out at the garden under the afternoon sun, and a strange expression appeared in his eyes. ‘The Holy Angel’s spring is actually the spring of life. Why is it being used as a beauty spring now?’

He realized that it was because he and Lin Shurou had never been injured that badly before that was why it seemingly had no healing property to them.

Thanks to the [Solar Energy Absorber], even if he were injured, he would recover in an instant— He had already put the item outside to bask in the sun.

‘… Forget it. It’s always a good thing not to get hurt. It’s a good thing if I never need its healing property.’

Ling Yi stood up and wanted to return to his room to rest. However, he had only taken a few steps when the doorbell of the iron gate outside the courtyard rang.

He released his perception and discovered that it was the Phoenix Sword Saint, Nangong Li, one of the four messengers of the Divine Union, as well as the district guard, Fang Cheng.

‘Huh? What are they doing here?’

Ling Yi walked out and opened the metal gate of the courtyard. He looked at the two of them.

Nangong Li wasn’t wearing her battle suit. Instead, she was wearing a simple white short-sleeved shirt and blue jeans. Her beautiful golden ponytail seemed to be glowing under the afternoon sun.

She was about 1.75 meters tall, which was considered tall among women.

At this moment, she was sizing Ling Yi up with her fiery red eyes and said, “Hello, you must be Ling Yi?”

“Ah, yes,”

“I heard that you have a Dual-Elemental Spirit Blade?”

“That’s right.”

“Do you want to join us?”

“Huh?”

Nangong Li went straight to the point and did not beat around the bush.

Seeing the confusion on his face, she explained, “I’m the captain of the Phoenix team, one of the four major teams in Divine Union’s headquarters. I want to invite you to our headquarters. The headquarters has the richest training resources in the country. In just one year, you will be able to stand out from the younger generation. You will become a well-known master in the country in just five years.”

“No, I won’t.” Ling Yi shook his head and rejected her.

Just as he finished speaking, he heard the phone ring in Nangong Li’s pocket.

“I’m sorry, I have to take this call.” Nangong Li waved her hand and picked up the phone ten meters away.

Ling Yi and Fang Cheng were left looking at each other.

“Do you still remember me? We’ve met before.” Fang Cheng, who was around 30 years old, said to Ling Yi half-jokingly. He was still wearing a black suit and had a buzz cut. He was 1.9 meters tall and had a strong body.

“I remember.” Ling Yi smiled.

“I didn’t expect you to have a Dual-Elemental Spirit Blade…”

While Fang Cheng was speaking, the wind transmitted Nangong Li’s conversation to his ears.

“The day after tomorrow, at noon, the Forest Temple will appear in Yunhua Town, Qianjiang City. There’s a dungeon there that contains an A-grade material called ‘Forest Holy Water’. It is said that the leader of the Sacred Gate used it to pass several levels in the summit trial. I suspect this is their main reason for coming here, so we must get it this time.”

“Alright,” Nangong Li replied. “I will bring the Phoenix team along.”

Then the call ended.

Nangong Li kept her phone and secretly remembered this matter. She turned around and walked back towards the two men.

Remembering Ling Yi’s rejection of her offer a few minutes ago, she didn’t have one to persuade him anymore, especially when there were still more pressing matters. However, when she came over, she subconsciously asked again, “Are you really not going to reconsider? You will still have a day off every week.”

Ling Yi shook his head.

Now that he had financial freedom, wouldn’t it be unnecessary to go to work?

“Alright then, we won’t disturb you any further.”

Nangong Li didn’t want to persuade him any further. This was an identity that many people dreamed of. She wouldn’t beg him to come if he didn’t want it.

Although the Dual Elemental Spirit Blade was indeed powerful, it wasn’t something that could destroy the heavens and earth.

Just as the two of them were about to turn around and leave, Ling Yi suddenly called out to them, “Wait!”

“What?” The two of them turned around.

Did he change his mind?

“I heard that Sacred Gate will come to rescue the silver-haired friend that you’ve captured tomorrow afternoon. They also plan to detonate a bomb to attract your attention.”

“A bomb!?” Nangong Li and Fang Cheng looked at each other and saw the surprise on each other’s faces.

“Yes. It should be in the center of Spring River Gardens, around building 15.”

Players had many ways to detect bombs. Thus, it was enough for him to give a rough location.

Nangong Li sized Ling Yi up once more and immediately furrowed her brows. She asked in confusion, “Where did you get this information?”

Ling Yi shook his head, indicating that he didn’t want to talk about it.

Upon seeing this, Nangong Li nodded slightly and said, “Alright, we’ll be careful tomorrow. Thank you for your information.”

“Then, goodbye?”

“Goodbye.”

The building in front of Ling Yi’s house was the victim’s building. Directly opposite the victim’s building was the Divine Alliance’s Firefly branch.

The straight line distance was less than a hundred meters.

Thus, they only took a short breath to return to the branch’s entrance.

“What do you think?” Nangong Li asked Fang Cheng indifferently as they neared the door.

“Mm…” Fang Cheng muttered a few things to himself before he gave her his best opinion, “I can feel that Ling Yi’s intentions are good. In any case, it’s fine for us to be cautious and make some preparations.”

“Okay.” Nangong Li replied softly. “Then I’ll leave this matter to you tomorrow.”

“Understood!”

Fang Cheng was this area’s district guard and was also responsible for its safety. Even if the headquarters general did not ask him to, he would still send someone over to take a look the next day.

As one of the Divine Union’s four messengers, Nangong Li held the real power in her hands. Strictly speaking, she was his superior.

His direct superior was the head of the Firefly Town Branch, and above him was The Guardian of Qianjiang City.

The position of a Guardian was equivalent to the elite members of the headquarters. These elite members were divided into four teams and were under the jurisdiction of the four team leaders.

If there was a vacancy for a guardian position in any place, the captain almost always chose the candidates from these elite members.

When the captain went to each city, they also had the power to mobilize The Guardian.

…

Meanwhile, Ling Yi, who had heard their entire conversation, walked back into the house and secretly sighed in relief. ‘I’ve finally thrown this burden to the Divine Union.’

Back in the living room, he couldn’t help but think of Nangong Li’s conversation on the phone a few moments ago.

‘Forest Temple… The Forest Holy Water…’

He recalled the fate he had seen on Mahler, a member of the Sacred Gate. It recorded the location of the Holy Water in the forest.

Since it’s something the dark organization wants, he will take one step ahead of them.

The afternoon sun was very bright. Hearing the cicadas chirping outside the house, Ling Yi decided to return to his room and nap.
