Gu Qingfeng's words piqued Lin Xiao's curiosity. "A cyborg from Pretty Nation actually made it onto the Heavenly Rankings?"
"Yes... Mr. Lin, you don't know about this?" Gu Qingfeng looked at Lin Xiao in surprise. As the Dragon King of Northern Xinjiang and the God of War of Dragon Country, he had already confirmed that Lin Xiao possessed the strength to enter the Heavenly Rankings after their brief encounter. How could he not know?
"I don't. I've dismantled quite a few of their cyborgs. I thought their cyborgs were very weak. I didn't expect there to be someone capable of entering the Heavenly Rankings." Lin Xiao couldn't recall how many cyborgs he had killed in the past two years.
Without exception, he hadn't even left many of them intact – except for the requirement from above to keep them whole for research.
"..."
Gu Qingfeng didn't know what to say. He could only conclude that Lin Xiao's abilities were too powerful, far beyond what ordinary humans could compare to.
"This is an insult to those of us who cultivate constantly..." Gu Qingfeng said, clenching his fist, indignant. "That's why I want to reveal what's in our inheritance as soon as possible."
"Indeed."
Lin Xiao strongly agreed with this statement. He also felt that he toiled relentlessly, risking his life to cultivate, only for others to achieve similar results with mere modifications, and they could even be mass-produced?
Frankly, a third of the individuals on the current Human Rankings were cyborgs from Pretty Nation.
He had watched these cyborgs grow stronger little by little, from being unable to even make the rankings.
He hadn't expected a cyborg to appear on the Heavenly Rankings as well?
He would have to check when the rankings were updated this year.
"So that's why you've been running around with our family heirloom?" Gu Nianci didn't care about any of that. She began a barrage of scolding at Gu Qingfeng. "You truly are a filial son!"
"Aunt, stop scolding, he's already a grown man..."
"Do you have a problem with me scolding you?"
"..."
Gu Qingfeng lowered his head, not daring to speak.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiao, on the side, lightly tapped on the box, seeming to ponder something.
Inheritance...
He knew better than anyone.
Half of his current strength was due to inheritance.
Without the inheritance of the Lin family, he would have already died.
However, precisely because he understood the true nature of inheritance, he was more unwilling than anyone else to mention it.
Perhaps Gu Family's Cold Jade possessed similar qualities.
It was just that the people of the Gu family hadn't discovered it... and generally, no one would.
He could study it thoroughly now.
Finally, after Gu Nianci's scolding concluded, the late-night snacks arrived. The four of them began drinking and eating skewers.
The Underworld Doctor found this scene a bit surreal.
At this table sat some of the most powerful people in Dragon Country, individuals whose words could potentially change the fate of countless families.
Especially since Brother Xiao seemed to have a good relationship with the Gu family?
After they finished eating, Gu Qingfeng glanced at his phone. "Aunt, you have the items. I have something to attend to, so I need to leave."
"What is it? I warn you, Gu Qingfeng, don't pull any stunts, or I'll kick you out!" Gu Nianci said fiercely.
Just as she finished speaking, a woman dressed very sexily sashayed towards them, step by step.
