I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything

The two walked one after another toward the Pavilion Master's office.

Wang Dalong led the way, frequently looking back, clearly very curious about Xu Lingjun, sizing him up constantly.

Xu Lingjun asked, "Is there something on my face?"

"Nothing."

Wang Dalong smiled, "I just feel, you actually don't look much like your father."

Xu Lingjun asked, puzzled, "My father?"

Wang Dalong asked, "Actually, I'm quite curious. Your surname is Xu, why is your dad's surname Wang?"

Xu Lingjun explained, "You misunderstood, he's not my biological father, he's my father-in-law, I'm just his daughter's fiancé."

"Father-in-law, huh?"

Wang Dalong sincerely praised, "Your father-in-law is really something, making money from nothing, practically owning a street... and I never imagined his loan limit would be so high, he took out billions in one go, sigh, it infuriated the Pavilion Master..."

Xu Lingjun explained, "After all, he's a businessman, and has collaborations with major banks."

"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to antagonize him, I'm just really impressed, his business acumen is extraordinary, he probably already predicted the heating issues at Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, and that's why he opened an air conditioning store here, opportunities are always for those who are prepared, he must have prepared a lot to seize this chance."

Wang Dalong said seriously, "If that's the case, it's very likely opening a hotpot restaurant above the heating was also premeditated, once the heating fails, the restaurant could naturally receive compensation, but no one expected Pavilion Master Tai would come this year, he and our Pavilion Master have never gotten along, so a fight between them is not surprising at all, and understanding the Grandmaster's might, it's understandable if the heating was damaged, people say Mr. Wang is lucky, but I know, it's not just luck, it's strategic planning, being bold and meticulous, with just a bit of luck."

No, in fact, it was just luck.

Xu Lingjun said helplessly, "Let's just say the heavens favored him."

He said this sincerely, it truly was the heavens favoring him, wasn't it?

Father Wang's business model of improvisation ended up being wildly successful, and now he's become Fangyi City's richest person.

People say his business journey is like a whimsical unicorn, elusive, but he always hits the bull's-eye... he is truly a business genius.

But only Xu Lingjun and Wang Qingya, the insiders, knew that Father Wang's business decisions really had no logic.

Wang Dalong smiled without speaking, clearly not agreeing.

His impression of Xu Lingjun seemed quite good, perhaps because he had a father with the surname Wang... barely a family connection.

After escorting Xu Lingjun to the office, he whispered, "The Pavilion Master called you, it seems related to someone's death in the Secret Realm, be careful, don't get involved or it might stink too much."

Xu Lingjun felt a pang in his heart and thought, as expected.

Although dozens of people died, without a doubt, Zhou Mu died the most tragically, not even leaving a body behind.

With decades of life experience, Xu Lingjun could not naively believe in the phrase "all men are created equal..."

When other students died, it was simply a matter of insufficient skill, and their respective Martial Mansions would provide some small compensations, after all, deciding to become a Martial Artist means being prepared for death at any time.

Their parents couldn't say anything otherwise.

But Zhou Mu was different...

No matter how weak his abilities, his cause of death, the perpetrator, all required detailed investigation and would be settled later.

But as Xu Lingjun pushed open the door.

He couldn't help but slightly raise his eyebrows.

In the large office.

Liu Zhiyuan, Li Tianlai, Zhou Qianmo, Zhou Qingwan, and Tai Zhengyuan, the Pavilion Masters of the Martial Mansions, sat in different positions, Zhou Qingwan smiled and nodded at him.

They hadn't left?

A strange thought occurred to Xu Lingjun, then he realized, as Pavilion Masters, naturally, they didn't have to act together with other Martial Mansion students; they all had private cars or jets.

Seeing Xu Lingjun, Liu Zhiyuan smiled, "Xu, you're here, there's nothing special, we just want to ask you for some details, don't worry, no need to be afraid."

Xu Lingjun asked, "Is it regarding Zhou Mu's death?"

It is inadvisable to claim ignorance, those who achieved the Grandmaster Realm are not only strong but also wise... Didn't Wang Qingya once say, focusing only on martial arts wouldn't lead to the Grandmaster Realm.

"Exactly, Xu, I want to ask if you saw Xiaomu in the Secret Realm?"

Zhou Qianmo's tired face showed a slightly kind smile and asked.

Xu Lingjun nodded, "I saw him."

Zhou Qianmo became excited and asked eagerly, "When did you see him, what did you talk about... what was his condition at that time?"

"Don't scare my student,"

Liu Zhiyuan signaled Zhou Qianmo not to get too excited, then asked, "Xu, would you mind telling us the details of the time?"

"Sure."

Xu Lingjun said, "It was about five days after entering the Secret Realm, I accidentally encountered Han Yun City and fought him... it was a mutual destruction, if we continued, we both might have perished, but we both got serious, so didn't pay attention to much else, then Zhou Mu interrupted our fight."

The most perfect lie has nine truths and one lie.

Xu Lingjun and Han Yun City had long discussed what to say and what not to say.

Seeing several people holding their breath instantly.

Xu Lingjun continued, "At that time, Zhou Mu suddenly appeared, Han Yun City probably felt threatened, so he retreated immediately... our fight was interrupted, after Han Yun City left, only Zhou Mu and I remained, and I remembered the Pavilion Master's orders, discussed forming an alliance with Zhou Mu, but for some reason, Zhou Mu seemed to have other ideas."

Zhou Qianmo pursued, "He refused? Why did he refuse? He had no reason to refuse."

"I don't know why, but I could feel that Zhou Mu seemed to... repel me?"

Xu Lingjun said, "His meaning was, maybe he alone could disrupt Han Yun City's plans, without needing anyone's help, then he chased Han Yun City, I only heard about his death after coming out."

Zhou Qianmo coldly said, "So Han Yun City really did it?"

His eyes showed a flash of pain.

Seeming to understand something but chose not to say more.

"Probably not, Xu just said, he and Han Yun City were mutually injured, right?"

Li Tianlai said, "Zhou Mu's strength wasn't below Han Yun City, Han Yun City was injured, and... hey, Xu, did you see Han Yun City after that?"

"Saw him once more later."

Xu Lingjun said, "But we both understood each other's strength wasn't simple, the environment was dangerous with Demon Beasts lurking, so we didn't fight again, just went our separate ways."

"Did he have any extra injuries? Injuries caused by someone else besides you."

Xu Lingjun shook his head, "I can confirm he didn't, he was in great condition, clearly rested a long time afterward."

"See."

Li Tianlai said, "Unless Han Yun City's strength was so overpowering he could suppress Zhou Mu, even while injured, leaving him no chance to escape... otherwise it is unlikely to be him."

Zhou Qianmo coldly said, "It's not like my grandson could just walk and accidentally fall into an ice hole himself?"

Li Tianlai sighed, "Can't rule out that possibility."

Zhou Qianmo glared at Li Tianlai.

And Liu Zhiyuan quickly said, "Alright, Xu, thanks for the information, prepare yourself, in a month, you need to set off to the Imperial Capital, for the conferment ceremony by His Majesty and to receive your exclusive reward, congratulations, with a military rank, your starting point will be above ninety-nine percent of the students."

"Yes."

Xu Lingjun glanced at the tense atmosphere.

Thinking, as expected, Han Yun City correctly predicted, Marquis Xia Wu might be dead, but out of sight, out of mind, naturally issues would be minimized or dismissed.

Instead Zhou Mu, Zhou Qianmo, it's expected something this big would escalate, rather than be ignored.

But the best lies are partly true and slightly embellished for realism.

In a vast Secret Realm, it's not impossible to meet if intentional.

Saying "I don't know" three times could easily cause mistakes.

Hopefully, this will deceive them.
