I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything

Returning to his dormitory.

Needless to say, Li Jingjun was there as well.

During this period, apart from her daily cultivation, she spent most of her remaining time at Xu Lingjun's house.

There was no help for it, the snow-white Daxiong was just too cute.

In just over ten days, Daxiong had gotten chubbier, almost the same size as Fat Tiger.

It loved to stay close to Fat Tiger, clearly considering Fat Tiger as its own kind.

Unfortunately, Fat Tiger had a poor attitude towards it. Whenever Daxiong dared to approach, Fat Tiger would smack it hard, only slightly restraining itself when Li Jingjun was around.

The more Fat Tiger bullied Daxiong, the more Daxiong liked to approach Fat Tiger.

Xu Lingjun thought that Daxiong should actually be called a "licking dog", but since they were both female, how could that work?

"Meow~"

Seeing Xu Lingjun return.

Daxiong let out a cheerful cry and jumped into Xu Lingjun's arms.

Although it no longer rejected Li Jingjun, evidently, it still felt the most affectionate towards Xu Lingjun.

To it, Xu Lingjun was akin to its parent.

"You're back."

Li Jingjun stood up and said, "Now that you're back, I can go cultivate."

Xu Lingjun laughed, "You don't really need to worry about them; just let them play together. Don't Fat Tiger and Daxiong get along well?"

"But Fat Tiger always bullies Da... Daxiong."

Li Jingjun paused, feeling that calling a female Daxiong was indeed strange.

But since it was Xu Lingjun's cat, he named it, so no matter how inappropriate, it had to be accepted.

Xu Lingjun was speechless, feeling Li Jingjun might have forgotten that Daxiong wasn't actually a cat, but an Ice Snow Leopard... although Daxiong might have forgotten this as well, as it always meowed like a cat, completely led astray by Fat Tiger.

Sending Li Jingjun off.

Even Fat Tiger gave Daxiong a hostile glare before meowing as Li Jingjun carried it away.

While Xu Lingjun hugged the snow-white fat cat and sat down on the sofa.

Thinking back to the call he received from Father Wang earlier.

Father Wang worked quickly, not only obtaining the Primordial Spirit Potion, but also looking into the matter of Li Zhonghan that Xu Lingjun asked about.

Even though he wasn't in Fangyi City, he managed to uncover some clues quickly.

Nowadays, Li Zhonghan had changed drastically, hardly retaining any masculinity and living quite miserably. Wang Tiancheng merely sent someone to bluff her, and she confessed everything honestly.

According to Father Wang, it seemed that Li Zhonghan had previously practiced the Yang Technique, and after being neutered, she lost all her power.

Now she couldn't even truss a chicken...

Additionally, her situation was so bad that Father Wang couldn't bear to let her disappear unexpectedly.

So he spent a significant sum to sell her to the Blizzad Empire to mine. Without ID proof, being in the Blizzad Empire was a heavy crime, so it's foreseeable that she would never be able to return to the Great Xia Empire as a black household.

Regarding Father Wang's actions.

Xu Lingjun had no objection.

As long as it eradicated future troubles, it was fine. Moreover, this Li Zhonghan was clearly just a tool person, and now that Marquis Xia Wu was dead, it naturally wasn't an issue.

"You've grown quite fast, but you're still too small. Maybe I shouldn't take you, and you should stay with Fat Tiger."

Xu Lingjun nudged the Ice Snow Leopard in his arms.

Causing it to unhappily catch Xu Lingjun's fingers in its mouth for a gentle nibble, then agilely jump onto the table, climbing onto the cabinet in a few moves.

Then it leaped back into his arms...

So affectionate, if Li Jingjun hadn't left, she might have been green with envy.

Xu Lingjun was actually quite troubled in his heart.

The journey to the imperial capital had to be made, as Sister Yaya was still waiting for him, and the other Little Companion Demon Beast couldn't hold on much longer.

Should he bring Daxiong?

It was too small, and since he was traveling alone, it would be inconvenient. If it got lost, it would be troublesome.

But he couldn't rest assured if he didn't bring it along.

It was unfortunate that Li Jingjun also wanted to go to the imperial capital; otherwise, leaving Daxiong in her care would be ideal.

With her around, Daxiong's safety wouldn't be a concern, and she took better care of Daxiong than he did... the only worry would be if his cat ended up following her instead.

He worried for quite a while.

Xu Lingjun finally got up and headed to Liu Zhiyuan's office.

"Leaving tomorrow? Isn't that too soon?"

Liu Zhiyuan glanced at Xu Lingjun multiple times and said, "You might not know, but Han Yun City didn't return to Dongxu Martial Mansion. He originally wanted to return to the imperial capital with glory, but now that he only got second place, rushing back doesn't have much meaning anymore, so he's going straight back to the imperial capital."

He sneered with a mocking smile, then spoke to Xu Lingjun with concern, "Lindi Guang, that old codger, intends to use Han Yun City as a stepping stone, but unfortunately, his plans were ruined by you. Especially now, that Han Yun City is full of animosity towards you. If you go there early, there's no guarantee they won't find a chance to deal with you."

"It's okay, I am confident."

Xu Lingjun said, "Going a few days early just gives me time to take care of some personal affairs."

"It seems you are quite confident."

Liu Zhiyuan nodded and said, "In that case, if you want to go, then go. Just remember to be careful, and...don't delay your proper duties."

"Yes."

Xu Lingjun stood up.

"By the way."

Liu Zhiyuan suddenly remembered something and asked, "The death of Marquis Xia Wu, it has nothing to do with you, right?"

Xu Lingjun turned back, naturally surprised, "Of course, it has nothing to do with me, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, it's just that Zhou Mu's death can be explained, but the death of Marquis Xia Wu is indeed shrouded in layers of mystery. I think there might be someone orchestrating all these. But for a martial artist of the Profound Realm to die so easily..."

Liu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "I hope it's just my overthinking. After all, Marquis Xia Wu has already left Cuowu Sect, so technically, they shouldn't make a big deal out of it. Besides, Marquis Xia Wu still holds a position in the Central City Martial Mansion, it's not their place to interfere."

Xu Lingjun thought to himself, your guess is quite accurate, there is indeed someone behind the scenes.

But the mastermind had already died back during the Dragon Gate Examination.

Marquis Xia Wu was just a pitiable pawn being used, of course, this had nothing to do with me... Such an important matter, especially one involving his most private secrets, Marquis Xia Wu probably wouldn't tell anyone about it.

Xu Lingjun mulled over it in his heart and felt assured!

No problem.

Then he happily went back to pack his luggage.

The Pavilion Master approved it, so it's considered an official holiday tour, and they even reimburse the travel expenses.

Nanyun Martial Mansion.

Pavilion Master's office.

Zhou Qianmo quietly sat in his seat.

Zhou Mu had been dead for nearly twenty days.

But these twenty days felt like twenty years to him.

The apple of his life for more than ten years, just died like that.

And yet he had no evidence...

Although he left several confidants in the Secret Realm to keep trying to recover his grandson's body.

But even with his wishful thinking, he knew it was entirely a matter of luck... Yet if his luck were that good, how would he endure the pain of losing his grandson?

His grandson died.

Yet he couldn't even avenge him.

Suddenly...

Zhou Qianmo seemed to finally understand something, and started to chuckle lowly, enunciating each word, "Li Tianlai is right, without evidence, as the Pavilion Master of Nanyun Martial Mansion, I absolutely cannot take action...but does the Nanyun Pavilion Master need evidence to seek vengeance, do others?"

He drank the tea on the table in one gulp, got up, and left the office, heading towards the deepest part of Nanyun Martial Mansion!

The further in he went, the more desolate it became.

Until he arrived at a completely sealed natural stone prison.

At the entrance, countless lasers and automated firearms scanned the area, making it as secure as an impregnable fortress!

Zhou Qianmo used his pupil to open the cell door, lifting the prohibition, and stepped in.

This was an abandoned cage.

Inside, there were countless stern empty cells, but they had clearly long been out of use, all empty and desolate.

Just as the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion used to be a military fortress, the predecessor of Nanyun Martial Mansion was once a prison.

Shi Hun Prison.

It was specially used for imprisoning those extremely vicious criminals who still had some value.

Although now abandoned, some exceedingly dangerous criminals are still occasionally kept here.

Just like...

Zhou Qianmo walked to the end...

At the end was a cage roughly half a man's height, with barbs growing all around it, impossible to stand or sit... Inside, crouched a disheveled man who looked like a beggar.

Noticing Zhou Qianmo, the man started to chuckle lowly, his voice hoarse from long deprivation of water, sneering, "What a rarity, you actually came to see me."

"Xiaomu is dead."

Zhou Qianmo said.

The man's indifferent smile froze instantly.
