How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!

Lin Xiaosu also left the room and saw the scenery outside.

Outside, there was the river flowing through the pit.

On both sides of the river, there were rows of wooden houses.

And the place where he had just lain was one of the wooden houses.

Looking back on the platform, he could see a disk on the left side of the wooden house, white background with blue characters, with the word "Blue" written on it.

"Is this your Heavenly King Residence?" Lin Xiaosu asked.

"Yes."

"I actually slept in your boudoir."

"What's all this about boudoirs? I never intended to marry anyway, so don't talk to me about reputations or anything like that, it has nothing to do with me."

The conversation was starting to get a little ambiguous.

Lin Xiaosu changed the subject: "I can roughly guess, you plan to visit another Heavenly King."

"You're quite the guesser!" Blue Demon laughed, "So who are you hoping for?"

"To avoid you overthinking it, I can only hope for the Blood Trace King."

Blue Demon blinked: "The Blood Trace King is on a mission, not at headquarters. Expect someone else..."

So the Blood Trace King wasn't at headquarters, no wonder, he's been here for two days, and there was no sign of him, turns out he hasn't returned yet.

So who to expect?

Blue Demon provided the answer: "Speaking of which, Miao Yin still has a classical temperament, but I wonder if she has any psychological barriers with the ancient tradition of 'repaying life-saving grace with one's own body.'"

Lin Xiaosu looked at her with a toothache-like expression: "Life-saving grace, isn't that a bit much?"

"Fine, gratitude for saving one's reputation!" Blue Demon said, "Come on, let's visit, watch her blush, make her repay the favor..."

Her figure flashed, leaping over several wooden houses, stopping in front of one.

This was an elegantly styled wooden house, resembling a piano.

The wooden house had no sign, but its design was a sign in itself.

This was the Piano Platform, the residence of Miao Yin Heavenly King.

However, there was a table on the platform, a piano on the table, but no one was there.

Miao Yin Heavenly King was also absent.

Blue Demon's eyes slightly rolled: "I roughly know where she went, originally the suspicion on her had not been lifted, she couldn't go there, but now that it's lifted, she went there."

"Where?"

"The Mechanical Bureau! The place studying the Wing Blade," Blue Demon said, "Hey... want to see how far the Wing Blade research has progressed?"

Lin Xiaosu's interest spiked.

But he furrowed his brow: "That should be the core area of Qianlong headquarters."

"Of course it is!"

"Then the question is, can I go?"

After all, he was an external person.

Entering the headquarters was a special recruitment by the Chief Long.

The task was just to find out the cause of Wang Zhongze's death.

Now that the case is solved.

Theoretically, he shouldn't be involved in any other field.

If Qianlong is polite, they might let him stay for a few days in the guest room, if they're strict, they should send him on his way right now.

In any case, he couldn't possibly be allowed into the core research center.

Blue Demon chuckled lightly: "Take out your Dragon Eye, check your privileges."

Lin Xiaosu extended his hand, bringing up the Dragon Eye, placing it on his nose bridge.

His heart gave a sudden jump.

On the Dragon Eye, a large number: 3!

The corresponding privileges were explained in detail.

In the Qianlong headquarters, except for three top-secret places, the rest are accessible freely.

"You already have Level 3 Authority, the same as mine, and it's not temporary, congratulations, junior brother, if you have feelings for the words 'Heavenly King,' please allow me to call you 'Colorful Heaven King'!" Blue Demon's eyes curved into a crescent moon.

"Heavenly King? Or Colorful Heaven King?" Lin Xiaosu stared at her.

Blue Demon blinked: "This title was inspired by Xinyue, didn't she call you little Se? Everyone thought it was quite reasonable, after all, your greatest skill is observing and discerning people..."

Lin Xiaosu rubbed his forehead, nearly speechless.

"Let's go, Colorful Heaven King, let's head to the Mechanical Bureau, admire the full bloom of Miao Yin Heavenly King breaking free from her bonds..."

This, of course, was Blue Demon letting her mind soar.

No one knew why.

Blue Demon was happier than anyone about this authorization.

Because this meant one thing, the Chief Long valued him exceptionally, Qianlong truly trusted him.

For a long time, Qianlong always kept a veil between them, relying on his abilities, yet lacking trust.

But now, the trust was fully unleashed.

No more barriers between both sides.

Blue Demon was very happy.

The Mechanical Bureau was on the other side of the mountain.

Why so far away?

Because what is researched here, none of it is ordinary.

If an experiment failed, the house could be blown up, it's not a joke.

Hence, the Mechanical Bureau had to be separated from the regular office area, in case of accidents, at least the staff here would have a chance to survive.

As they spoke, they crossed the ridge, and Lin Xiaosu also saw the full view of the Mechanical Bureau.

The ground part had an office area, and workshops.

The underground part was where the essence lay.

Blue Demon took the lead, and when she reached the door, she stopped and made way for Lin Xiaosu.

Lin Xiaosu smiled slightly and stepped forward.

A beam of light shot from a small hole in front, covering his face and focusing on his Dragon Eye. Then, a large number 3 appeared on the door.

The door opened.

This was for his verification.

Upon verification, his authority was validated.

Stepping into the factory area, in front was an office building with a circular structure and an ultra-modern design.

In front of the office building, a beautiful woman turned her head.

With one look, she spotted Lin Xiaosu.

Lin Xiaosu smiled at her; this person was none other than Miao Yin Heavenly King.

She indeed came to the Mechanical Bureau.

Only because she was the decryption leader of the Wing Blade project.

Blue Demon brought the Wing Blade back from outside, requiring the Heavenly King's team for decryption. Originally, it was normal for Blue Demon to be tasked with forming the team, but at the time, she was burdened with the major Life Soul Gu case, so she transferred the team formation right to Miao Yin.

Miao Yin had earnestly conducted the formation and it had already shown initial results.

However, because of earlier interrogations regarding Wang Zhongze, she was embroiled in controversy and found it inconvenient to visit this crucial research site. After a few months and finally clearing herself of suspicion, she came over at the first chance.

Before she had a chance to enter the building, she saw Blue Demon and Lin Xiaosu.

Even though Miao Yin was usually the calmest, her heart was surging at this moment, and she stepped in front of Lin Xiaosu: "I wanted to visit you yesterday, but you were too exhausted and fell asleep… Are you better now?"

"I'm fine now!" Lin Xiaosu replied.

"This time, both publicly and privately, I must thank you! Really!" Miao Yin said softly.

Lin Xiaosu smiled, "I understand your meaning, but it's unnecessary! You've done nothing wrong yourself and don't need to bear anything."

"The pure are pure; the turbid are turbid. It's easy to say, but not always easy to do…" Miao Yin said, "You've come over to check the decryption status of the Wing Blade too?"

"Yes!"

"Come on, let's take a look together!"

Miao Yin Heavenly King naturally knew that Lin Xiaosu had obtained Level 3 Authority and was taking them to the research project leader.

This leader was personally selected by her, with the surname Zhu and given name Ban.

His name was quite strange.

People said he was just like his name… very rigid.

In the Mortal World, rigid is not a good term, because it clashes with human relations and often leads to setbacks in society.

But, undeniably, in the research field, rigidity is sometimes truly necessary.

Rigidity and rigor can be synonymous on certain levels.

The long corridor was very quiet.

The office areas on both sides were very quiet.

The clattering sound of data entry and the buzzing of electricity formed a unique environment characteristic of a research office.

However, when Miao Yin Heavenly King opened the door ahead, all three were startled.

Inside, there was the sound of arguing!

Arguing…

Damn!

Someone in this world could actually argue with Zhu Ban?

This person's voice was quite loud and rather wild: "I tell you, old man, do you really have to be so rigid? I've already said that the Wing Blade, from a physical standpoint, has three forms. Just approve it and let them conduct an experiment. Can't it be done without people dying?"

Three forms?

Blue Demon and Miao Yin's eyes lit up.

Lin Xiaosu's eyes shone even brighter. He stared in surprise at the back of this young man gesturing wildly. Yes, he was very surprised…

Behind the desk, Zhu Ban slowly looked up, pushed up his glasses with his finger, and spoke leisurely: "The probability of deaths in the trial is less than 10%, but not approved!"

"Damn!" the young man said, "Do you even understand what developing a new form of the Wing Blade means? It means its combat power will increase by geometric multiples."

"Firstly, I reiterate that it's not approved! Secondly, a verbal commendation for your innovative spirit, and thirdly, you're not allowed to swear!"

"I…" The young man's chest heaved violently: "I can't communicate with you; I'm finding your leader!"

Suddenly, he turned around.

At that turn, he saw Miao Yin Heavenly King and Blue Demon at a glance, however, the shock brought by the two beauties paled in comparison to the third person.

The third person, of course, was Lin Xiaosu.

When he saw Lin Xiaosu, his mouth opened wide.

The anger in his heart, which was originally sky-high, seemed to dissipate entirely at that moment because he saw someone he could never have expected.

Lin Xiaosu smiled: "Brother Dong!"

Who was Brother Dong?

Ding Dong!

Ding Zhongli's son, Ding Ruoshui's brother.

The legendary playboy of the Ding Family.

"Brother!" Ding Dong took a few quick strides to his side: "You… How come you're here?"

"The way you came, is the way I came too!" Lin Xiaosu replied.

"Damn! Press-ganging you guys ended up grabbing an entire family, going to extremes, even capturing my brother-in-law…" Ding Dong sighed deeply.

Old Stone Board Zhu Ban was still desperately adjusting his glasses there.

Unable to make sense of the situation at all for a while.

The people who came, two great Heavenly Kings, plus a young guy he didn't know, this young man entering a research heavy place was already unheard of, and to top it off, he turned out to be Ding Dong's brother-in-law, which was even stranger.

Miao Yin Heavenly King turned to Zhu Ban: "Old Zhu, I just heard a part of it, this young man makes some valid points. If the Wing Blade can indeed be developed into second and third forms, it's worth a try!"

Ding Dong immediately brightened up, his eyes fell on Miao Yin Heavenly King, this person seemed to make a lot of sense, was she the leader?

Zhu Ban sighed: "I certainly know it's worth trying, but there's only one energy source. Once we try, the energy source is gone, and all subsequent research has to stop. I've explained this to this kid, yet he's stubborn."

Ding Dong immediately went back into argumentative mode: "What are you keeping the energy source for? If not for a major breakthrough in research, are you planning to hold onto it to eat? The major breakthrough is in sight, yet you're being stingy with this energy source. Isn't that neglecting the essentials while chasing the trivial?"
