I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything

After the banquet ended.

Han Xu Yang stayed a while longer to chat with everyone, but his face was already quite weary. It seemed that even though he was only in his fifties or sixties, he had worn himself out with too much hard work.

"Father, you should rest now."

Upon returning, Han Qingxue saw Han Xu Yang's condition and softly spoke.

"Alright, alright, hahaha, seeing so many young people, I wanted to know more about your growth stories, but it seems my body can't hold up. I really can't deny my old age. You all should go back and rest early. The future of our Great Xia Empire depends on you."

Only then did everyone take their leave.

Xu Lingjun noticed, however, that Han Yun City did not stay behind but left following in the footsteps of Li Tianlai.

All the way back to the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion's base.

An already slightly drunk Liu Zhiyuan, in a drunken stupor, said, "Ling Jun, stay. The rest of you, go back and rest."

"Yes."

Li Jingjun, Zong Xiaoping, and the others turned and left.

Once the room was left with only Liu Zhiyuan and Xu Lingjun.

The drunkenness on Liu Zhiyuan's face quickly faded, and his expression became quite serious.

He sat by the table, poured himself a cup of tea, drank it all, and said, "Ling Jun, sit down, there are some things I want to discuss with you."

Xu Lingjun said, "Pavilion Master, please speak."

Liu Zhiyuan asked, "You met the Eldest Princess today; what do you think?"

Not waiting for Xu Lingjun to answer, he waved his hand and said, "Don't lie. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. I'm actually aligned with the Eldest Princess, but it's not because of her skills in leadership. It's merely because Han Yun City holds a special status, and Your Majesty has only one son and one daughter, so my choices are limited. Now, I want to hear your thoughts."

"Pavilion Master, do you want to hear the truth?"

"Indeed."

"I think the Eldest Princess is sharp-minded, spirited, and protects her subordinates well. She's quite impressive, and she is also very generous."

Thinking of that Nourishing Essence Divine Pill she gave me.

A middle grade Talent Source requires at least 800 Source Value, and its value may not be any less than the Bone and Muscle Gene Enhancer I want to obtain.

Yet she handed it to me in advance, showcasing her remarkable courage.

"Deep thinking, overly aggressive and overbearing?"

Liu Zhiyuan instead translated Xu Lingjun's words into a different flavor.

He laughed, "I told you not to conceal too much. I do support her, but that doesn't mean you have to as well. You are only my student, not my servant, and you don't need to act according to my will. As long as your actions don't bring trouble to the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, you can do whatever you like."

Xu Lingjun nodded, "Yes."

Liu Zhiyuan pondered for a moment, then asked, "She's generous to you, but is it because she wants you to do something for her?"

"She wants me to act as bait to lure out the enemies who attacked us before."

Liu Zhiyuan was shocked, "What, she actually… Have you agreed?"

Xu Lingjun embarrassingly said, "I didn't want to agree initially, but she gave me too much."

"Do you realize that this is risky?"

Liu Zhiyuan said helplessly, "No matter how much she gives you, what you risk is potentially your life."

Xu Lingjun said, "Well… Pavilion Master, I have some confidence in my defense power."

Liu Zhiyuan's concern suddenly halted.

Thinking of Xu Lingjun's ability to exert the power of the "Ninefold Thunder Tribulation" barehanded.

If his entire body is in this state, then the possibility of an enemy killing him in a short time is indeed minimal.

He sighed, "Alright, do as you please. Just remember to put your life first. If you lose your life, nothing else matters."

"Yes, Pavilion Master."

Xu Lingjun thought, even without this matter, I would need to go out soon.

You see, I just acquired two treasures that can greatly enhance the meridians, but unfortunately, I had spent too much Source Value earlier, and during this time, there hasn't been much income, so almost none is left now.

Even the 800 points I can't come up with.

He urgently needs a large amount of Source Value.

Even just for the Source Value, he needs to go out and take risks... As for the danger, he doesn't think it's dangerous at all.

Unless those two join forces, otherwise, the possibility of any one of them taking him down alone is very slim. Now, both of them are being chased like stray dogs, plus they fought so brutally before.

Not to mention how they'll find each other when even the Divine Soldier Guard can't, but even if they do, the possibility of them teaming up is very low, and fighting is more likely.

"Okay, I've observed for a while now. You, young man, act rashly, but behind your rashness, there is steadiness and confidence. I really can't tell if you're reckless or cautious. Do as you see fit."

Liu Zhiyuan said, stood up, fixed his gaze on Xu Lingjun, and asked, "Also, I'll ask you again, was Zhou Mu's death related to you at all?"

Xu Lingjun's heart sank slightly, thinking has the Pavilion Master noticed something?

He seriously answered, "No."

Liu Zhiyuan stared at Xu Lingjun for a while before saying, "Good, no matter who asks you afterwards, just answer like you are answering me."

Xu Lingjun: "..............."

Liu Zhiyuan couldn't help but sigh deeply and said, "Child, you're still too young. You say no, and you can provide evidence to prove it, but what's the use? As long as they are determined it was you, whether you did it or not, the difference is not very significant."

He continued, "Behind this matter, there is definitely Zhou Qianmo's shadow, this I can be sure of, and I'm also sure it's not just Zhou Qianmo, he doesn't have that much power. The Imperial Capital's defenses are stronger than you can imagine. Even an Upper Realm Grandmaster would not escape for more than three days if they dared act recklessly in the Imperial Capital. Yet, two Profound Realm Martial Artists have evaded capture for nearly a month now, indicating a large conspiracy may be lurking behind this. Since you've agreed, go ahead and do it, but make sure not to do anything extra, avoid getting involved, understand?"

"Yes."

Xu Lingjun nodded.

Saying goodbye to Liu Zhiyuan, he turned and went back to rest.

After returning to his room not long after.

His phone received a text message.

Xu Lingjun opened his phone and tapped the message.

Red Dog: Damn, got screwed over. These old guys are nastier than each other. Do you know why those two bastards haven't been caught after almost a month? Turns out Lin Diguang, that old bastard, is secretly stirring up trouble for these Divine Soldier Guards.

Xu Lingjun blinked and replied, "I didn't know before, but now I do."

Red Dog: I was even thinking of using Lin Diguang to frame a scenario where Zhou Mu and Marquis Xia Wu ended up killing each other. Successfully misled that old guy, but didn't expect him to conceal the truth for his own benefit. I was too naive, thinking of using this to attack the Divine Soldier Guard.

Xu Lingjun: "..............."

Red Dog couldn't help but sigh, "Damn, I just found out that the old man said confidently he'd catch the enemies in five days, only because he was planning to use me as bait. Dammit... I'm going out to act as bait starting tomorrow. Don't come out these two days."

Xu Lingjun: "You promised?"

Red Dog:"

"Why? I thought the two of you were on good terms."

Han Yun City replied with a sneer, "Yes, we used to be on good terms, she was the first to take me to the restaurant we used to eat at, but when my mother fell from power, I found out she chose not to reveal the fact in her favor. I was too naive."

Having finished, he closed his phone and sighed. It seems that Han Qingxue appears to be a good woman, but really not a good sister at all.

Honestly, her real feelings towards her favored brother were beyond words.
