Before leaving, Lin Xiao specifically went to ask Ming Yi for confirmation. Since Ming Yi would not be returning to Shashi City recently, he and Qi Tian decided to settle in the villa where Ming Yi resided.
"I've met many wealthy people in the mortal world. Their villas are one bigger than the other. When it comes to enjoyment, ordinary people really know how to enjoy themselves," Qi Tian said, gazing at the enormous villa and then at Lin Xiao's usual residence. He couldn't help but sigh.
"If you want these things, they're yours with a little effort. What's there to envy?" Lin Xiao beckoned, signaling Qi Tian to enter the gate.
As he entered, he carefully inspected the premises. He was worried that Ming Yi or his girlfriend might have left anything "R-rated" behind. After all, Qi Tian, this young sect leader, was not a worldly person but a genuine pure virgin. If he were to see something like that, Lin Xiao feared he wouldn't be able to handle it.
"Lin Xiao, what are you looking for?" Qi Tian noticed Lin Xiao's actions and asked curiously.
"Nothing, I just haven't been here for a while. I'm checking if anyone has installed anything inside," Lin Xiao made up an excuse.
"Are you saying you're afraid someone might have planted a bomb here?" Qi Tian snapped his fingers. "I'm good at this."
"Ah?"
Lin Xiao didn't expect Qi Tian to actually start working. As soon as he snapped his fingers, several small, spider-like robots emerged.
"This is inspiration I got from movies. In movies, there are these micro-robots used for bomb disposal. I've refined these robots using the art of puppetry, and they can more efficiently locate the most threatening objects in this room," Qi Tian explained, pulling out his laptop. "Here's the footage, you can take a look."
"That's amazing?"
Lin Xiao was greatly surprised. He didn't expect Qi Tian to have such a device.
"This isn't amazing; I just tried it out when I thought of it. Previously, I used these puppets to locate formations, traps, fierce exotic beasts, and even people with hostility or murderous intent," Qi Tian said, pointing at the computer screen. "Look, in this large living room, the most threatening entity is you."
On the screen, a 3D image of Lin Xiao appeared, marked as high-risk.
"Indeed," Lin Xiao forced a smile. "Anything else?"
"Currently, no other threats are detected. To be precise, nothing that poses a threat to a Grandmaster level cultivator," Qi Tian indicated the screen. While they were talking, three puppets had already scanned the entire villa. Aside from Lin Xiao, there were no threats.
"That's good."
Lin Xiao feigned a relaxed expression. "I'll go prepare a room for you."
"No need. I can sleep anywhere. Also, I need ample space to refine puppets. A regular bedroom isn't quite what I need," Qi Tian quickly interjected.
"Alright… let me see. The kitchen over there is quite large, and so is this living room. We don't usually host guests here, so you can just work in the living room," Lin Xiao surveyed the surroundings. The living room seemed the most suitable. "Oh, and if you damage anything, you'll have to compensate for it at its original price."
"Here you go."
