After the Old Celestial Master left, Lin Xiao began to roughly test the changes in his body.
If his pure physical strength before could easily exert ten thousand Newtons of force with a single punch, now, with one punch, it was indeed twenty thousand Newtons.
This increase was a bit too much.
It also gave Lin Xiao more insight into the golden blood.
He would ask the Dragon Lord about it later, to see if the Dragon Lord had any relevant information. The Old Celestial Master, in this manner, most likely did not want to tell him yet, which was why he hadn't.
Since his body had completely recovered today, his spiritual energy was also full in his dantian, and all the sealed acupoints on his body had been released, it was time for him to leave.
Reason told him that he couldn't go there again right now. If he went there again, he didn't know if that old Daoist would let him off.
Perhaps if he pushed the other party too hard, he might truly be enraged and cause him to perish without a burial place.
After bidding farewell to the Old Celestial Master, Lin Xiao left Dragon Tiger Mountain.
Watching Lin Xiao descend the mountain, the Old Celestial Master stroked his beard and performed another divination.
"A vast chaos..."
The Old Celestial Master frowned. He actually couldn't calculate Lin Xiao's path anymore.
It seemed that Lin Xiao had now embarked on a path that even he couldn't see through. In the future, if the organization Shadow Assassins were not careful, they might indeed face great trouble.
...
When Lin Xiao returned to the Imperial Capital, he gave the Dragon Lord a terrible fright.
He stared at Lin Xiao, "You brat, I told you that you are no match for Shadow Assassins now. Don't provoke them. Everything must be planned carefully. You didn't listen. Fortunately, you've returned."
"I just wanted to go and try."
Lin Xiao shook his head, "The gap in strength was indeed so great that I couldn't resist."
"Shadow Assassins are all veterans who have entered the Divine Realm for decades, even a century. How long have you been in the Divine Realm? It's good enough that you could return completely," the Dragon Lord sighed. "They were also giving me some face, knowing they shouldn't kill you."
"Mm."
Lin Xiao reported about Shadow Assassins to the Dragon Lord, and only then did he mention the issue with his body.
"You're saying that your body, after being injured and healed, has become stronger?"
"Yes."
"But you don't know the reason for this?"
"Correct."
"And the golden-red blood, you want me to investigate what it is?"
"That's right."
"Alright, you go back and rest. I'll tell you if I find anything."
The Dragon Lord said.
"Just like that?"
"Otherwise?"
The Dragon Lord raised an eyebrow, "Lin Xiao, you need to understand that I am still the Dragon Lord. I have too many things to handle. A few days ago, because of your matters, I postponed many tasks. Now that you're back, I need to catch up on the work I've been missing."
"So, go back and rest, or you can take over and let me retire."
"I'm leaving now."
Lin Xiao left without looking back, needing to rush back to Shashi.
Seeing Lin Xiao leave, the Dragon Lord shook his head, his expression slowly fading. He looked at the documents on his desk, tapped his fingers lightly, and then made a call to Old Zhou.
"Old Zhou, remember, the SSS-level classified information from before cannot be accessed by Lin Xiao for now... Yes, at least another month."
...
Lin Xiao returned to Shashi.
Finally, Mr. Zhuge was relieved of his duties.
"By the way, Mr. Zhuge."
Lin Xiao called out to Mr. Zhuge, who was preparing to rest, "I have another question. Before, when I asked you to see if you could figure out who the attacker was, you couldn't calculate anything?"
"Of course. You were in the Imperial Capital, and I was far away. The Imperial Capital is protected by national destiny and two massive true dragon auras. How could I possibly calculate it?"
Mr. Zhuge said, "Lin kid, if there's nothing else, I'm going to rest. With Zhuge Lan here, the formation can operate safely."
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zhuge."
Lin Xiao said quickly.
During his absence, Mr. Zhuge must not have rested much. Even a normal person couldn't endure it, let alone Mr. Zhuge, who was now just a soul inheritance, likely even more tired.
Zhuge Lan's aura had recovered. He glanced at Lin Xiao, then yawned and said, "Lin Xiao, I can't anymore. My body can't support it. I'm going to rest first."
After speaking, Zhuge Lan went directly to the guest room.
"Trouble you!"
Lin Xiao naturally wouldn't stop him. He walked into the kitchen. He hadn't cooked in a while, and the little girl must be craving his food.
As soon as he entered the kitchen, the door was pushed open.
"Daddy!"
Xun'er's milky voice rang out.
"Hey! Xun'er, did you miss Daddy?"
"Miss!"
"Did you miss Daddy, or the food Daddy cooks?"
"Both!"
Xun'er ran to Lin Xiao in a few steps and hugged his leg.
"Little girl, you've learned to cling to legs so quickly?"
Lin Xiao looked at his obedient daughter and laughed heartily. Indeed, only when he was with his daughter could he truly relax.
"Of course. Your obedient daughter, the most frequent thing she says every day is 'When is Daddy coming back?'" Luo Qinghan also walked into the kitchen and came to Xun'er, picking her up. "Baby, be good. Your Daddy is preparing dinner for you. Didn't you always want to eat Daddy's cooking? If you disturb Daddy, you won't get to eat it."
"Mm! Xun'er won't disturb Daddy!"
Xun'er nodded obediently in Luo Qinghan's arms.
Lin Xiao cut vegetables while asking curiously, "The most frequent thing is when I'll be back, what's the second most frequent thing?"
"The second most frequent?"
Hearing Lin Xiao's question, Luo Qinghan thought carefully and said, "I'm hungry."
"Hungry?"
Lin Xiao blinked. He looked back at the little girl. Since returning with him, Xun'er had indeed gained some weight and looked full of collagen.
"Yes, she doesn't really like the food the chefs at home make, so she eats less and gets hungry. She only willingly eats the barbecue made by the chefs." Luo Qinghan was truly a bit frustrated. It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but hard to go from extravagance to frugality. Xun'er grew up eating Lin Xiao's cooking. Even the national banquet chefs she specially hired were only rated by Xun'er as "okay" or "not as good as Daddy's cooking."
"Haha!"
Lin Xiao was amused by this explanation and then said, "Alright, I'll make sure Xun'er won't feel hungry later!"
"Okay, okay!" Xun'er happily waved her hands.
