How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 88: On the Chessboard, the Active Pieces Determine the Victor

Chapter 88: Chapter 88: On the Chessboard, the Active Pieces Determine the Victor

Eight words, one by one, should shatter the sky with their impact.

Because this was an unprecedented turnaround!

It was a major shift that was almost impossible in this world.

Lin Xiaosu frowned slightly: "Why?"

"Because someone personally promised that if you complete this mission, he would give you special access to join Qianlong and directly become a Qianlong Gold Medal holder."

"This person... carries a lot of weight?"

"Within Qianlong, no one carries more weight than him!"

Lin Xiaosu’s heartbeat accelerated.

They did not mention this person’s name or position, but with just these words, he knew, this person was the Dragon Lord! Dragon Lord, in fact, is a popular moniker; within the Qianlong Organization, he is referred to by a gender-neutral term: Chief Long.

Chief Long, the Master of Qianlong.

The Master of Qianlong, only national leaders are privy to his identity.

He is also the one who stands on the same stage as these leaders, a true heavyweight.

And now, he was directly addressing himself.

Opening a special passage...

Lin Xiaosu gently shook his head: "No!"

Chang Ye abruptly sprung up: "’No’? What do you mean by ’no’?"

"It means I appreciate his kindness, but I refuse to become a Qianlong Gold Medal holder."

"You..." Chang Ye was completely shaken: "Why? You must give me a reason!"

"Not just one reason, there’s a whole bunch!"

"Fine, fine, let’s hear your whole bunch of reasons!"

"Reason number one!" Lin Xiaosu said: "I’m not Qianlong, so I can charge Qianlong fees. If I agree now, wouldn’t all future cases be volunteer work? How stupid would I be to not want that money?"

Chang Ye scolded him: "Money again! Always money! Can’t you live without mentioning money?"

"The original purpose of opening my detective agency was to make money. If I don’t make money, I really might as well die..."

Chang Ye sighed: "I’m speechless. Now, the second reason!"

Lin Xiaosu said: "The second reason, becoming Qianlong, I’d be constrained by the ’Qianlong Regulations’, with all sorts of restrictions and taboos. I’m doing just fine in the mortal world; why should I find myself a father figure to obey?"

This time, Chang Ye wasn’t just speechless, she didn’t have the confidence to retort.

He opened a detective agency in the mortal world, money flowing like water, seeking joy, with two beautiful women by his side for entertainment.

From the perspective of a normal person, he really had no need to find himself a father figure to obey.

It’s just unfortunate that during the initial assessment, those old folks rejected him when he was still quite innocent. Now that he’s thriving in the mortal world, finding his joy here, his focus has begun to diverge...

You want him to join Qianlong.

But he refuses!

"Why aren’t you asking about reason number three?" Lin Xiaosu looked at her.

Chang Ye glanced at him, somewhat charmingly: "Why bother? You’ve already convinced me. What can I say when faced with a good-for-nothing, small-time hooligan without grand ambitions?"

"You should first ask yourself, have I not done anything for Qianlong just because I haven’t joined them?"

Chang Ye felt a sudden jolt in her heart...

Indeed, he hadn’t joined Qianlong, but did that stop him from acting on behalf of Qianlong?

In Fengcheng, he eradicated the underground kingdom that had entrenched there for years. Although this wasn’t Qianlong’s direct duty, it still aligned with Qianlong’s principles.

He discovered the Ant Nest in Yuntai Mountain, a task many Qianlong Gold Medal holders couldn’t achieve in their lifetime, yet he accomplished it overnight.

This time, with the test subjects out of control, while the three special Qianlong operative teams were still in a state of chaos, he had already finished the job and began flirting.

Did he hinder Qianlong’s operations?

Chang Ye slowly lifted her head: "Is this your third reason?"

"Yes!" Lin Xiaosu said: "Do you want to know the fourth reason?"

"There’s a fourth one... Go ahead!"

"Ever played Go?"

Chang Ye was surprised: "Yes, I have!"

"Black and white on the board, intricate strategies unfold, and once a stone is placed, it’s dead; those not yet played are alive!" Lin Xiaosu explained: "The key moves that decide victory are never the dead stones on the board, but the potential of the unplayed live stones!"

Chang Ye’s heart stirred with emotion.

This was the wisest thing she had heard tonight.

The strategic moves in Go, the crucial winning plays, are the unplayed live stones.

He, doesn’t become a dead stone; he wants to be a live stone.

If he joined Qianlong, he would be fixed on the board as a dead stone; but by not joining, he remains a live stone. What is a live stone? That is he can do things Qianlong is not convenient to do!

"You’ve truly convinced me! In the real sense!" Chang Ye said: "Shall I take you back to Fengcheng now?"

"Since things are clear and our mission over, there’s no need to rush, right?"

"Understood..." Chang Ye gave him a glance, with a hint of seduction: "I’ll slow down the flying car a bit, and on the way back, we’ll have some time for you to comfortably lie down."

They got up, and the flying car descended from the sky. Entering the flying car, Chang Ye set the destination, and the two lay on the spacious backseat.

Lin Xiaosu gently pulled her, and Chang Ye fell into his embrace.

"Did you turn off the car surveillance?"

Chang Ye gave him a sideways look: "Turned it off a long time ago. What are you planning to do?"

"Sometimes in life, one must face the ultimate challenge..." Lin Xiaosu’s hand started to reach inside Chang Ye’s clothes.

Chang Ye pressed down on him: "Have you lost your mind? I’ve already said, that’s absolutely not allowed..."

"Then this should be fine!"

His hand changed direction, moving from below to above.

Chang Ye wanted to object, but she couldn’t. To her, they had already kissed once, and it was no big deal. Touching the rabbit’s head, that’s really nothing much...

Forget it, let him indulge a bit.

Although it’s just full-spectrum care for "rabbits," I have to admit, the aftereffects are quite exhilarating. As time went on, both of us became a bit feverish, barely able to resist the urge for an extreme challenge.

But Chang Ye ultimately let reason triumph over the wild horses in her heart.

"...I’m conducting research on medications. There will be a day of success... What about you, your Rejuvenation Skill will certainly improve, too. Let’s talk about it when we’re both ready... You, Xinyue is right about you, you are such a little S! Where did you learn these techniques? You’re definitely not a beginner..." Chang Ye was slightly out of breath.

In the night sky, they arrived at Fengcheng.

The flying car precisely stopped on the rooftop of the Detective Agency.

Inside the car, Chang Ye gave him a half-hearted kiss goodbye.

After the kiss, her eyes seemed a bit hazy: "You were quite excited tonight, do you want me to simply take you back to Old Tashan Village? There’s someone in your room who can put out the fire."

"Then what about you? Would you just watch the fun remotely?"

"How could that be possible? Am I that vulgar?" Chang Ye scolded: "I’ve already told you she’s an intelligent bio-robot, she doesn’t have remote control, she’s fully autonomous, I have no idea what she’s up to."

"Really?"

"I swear on my non-existent first kiss, it’s all true!" Chang Ye replied very firmly.

"Goodbye..." Lin Xiaosu got off the flying car.

The flying car soared into the high skies, heading back to 101.

Chang Ye lay in the back seat, raised her hand, and put on the Dragon Eye, and in the dark space of the car, the figure of an old man appeared.

"Foster father, the mission is accomplished!"

The old man suddenly looked up, his eyes blazing with light: "Accomplished to what extent?"

"The Crimson Bird is dead, its body is on me!"

The old man laughed: "Three special operations teams were not as effective as you alone... the work of you two! It seems my specially recruited Gold Medal is truly extraordinary. You can set up a time and bring him to me!"

"Foster father, he doesn’t want to be a Gold Medal, he wants to be a Hidden Dragon!"

"Hidden Dragon?" The old man’s eyelids twitched slightly: "Hidden Dragon is not ordinary, even I cannot decide with a single word."

Hidden Dragons don’t hold Qianlong Gold Medals, but Jade Tokens. Their information is only available to the higher-ups of Qianlong, and the normal Gold Medals don’t have access to it.

In the eyes of the official Qianlong Gold Medals, Hidden Dragons are also mysterious.

Chang Ye herself is a Hidden Dragon.

And this young man she took notice of wants to become a Hidden Dragon right from the start?

Isn’t this asking for an inch and taking a mile?

"You’ve misunderstood. The Hidden Dragon he wants to be is not the one in the Qianlong system; he wants to be a Hidden Dragon in the Great Thousand World, amidst the vastness of life. He doesn’t need a Qianlong system appointment, his true identity, known to the world, is simply himself! He said something that struck a chord with me..."

She repeated her conversation with Lin Xiaosu to the old man.

The old man was silent for a long time: "In the game of chess, the active pieces are key to victory! Well said... well said indeed!"

"Foster father, do you agree?"

"Agree with him!" the old man said: "Where you need to use him, give him the normal compensation, treat it as a normal commission! The rest of the time, let him grow freely!"

"That doesn’t seem enough to truly demonstrate your regard for him," Chang Ye’s gaze flickered.

"You little girl, what are you plotting? Out with it!" The old man smiled gently.

"Foster father, could you give him a small gift?"

"Like what?"

"A pair of glasses!"

The old man looked at her for a long time...

Chang Ye said: "He is a Detective, the most important thing he needs to protect are his eyes."

...

Lin Xiaosu descended from the rooftop and entered his room.

At this moment, it was the darkest before dawn.

Miao Ruolan and Zhou Xi were probably in sweet slumber.

But Lin Xiaosu couldn’t fall asleep at all.

Not because he got a feel of Chang Ye, which did bring a significant aftershock—though indeed quite substantial.

Compared to another matter, this aftershock was insignificant.

Because the impact of this matter surpassed everything.

A Secret Realm inside the body!

This Secret Realm had helped him escape death.

The mysteries of this Secret Realm seemed to belong not to this world.

All of a sudden, a large hole appeared inside his arm, invisible and intangible, only truly existing in Lin Xiaosu’s consciousness.

Within the hole was a chaotic space flow.

A Netherworld Nine-Transformation Beast’s Primordial Crystal plunged headlong into the chaotic flow, instantly disintegrating with no chance to fight back (Yes, that pearl is the Netherworld Nine-Transformation Beast’s Primordial Crystal. The Primordial Crystal, unheard of in modern society, but recorded in the Sea Abyss Scripture and the Mountain and River Scripture, what is it? It is the concentrated essence of all the lifeforce of Ancient Creatures; if the Primordial Crystal is not destroyed, the Exotic Beast does not die).

The Primordial Crystal is extremely hard.

Almost indestructible in the Mortal World.

But the Secret Realm destroyed it easily.

What is in this Secret Realm?

The Space Law recorded in the Taoist Book!

What is the Space Law?

Holding the Way!

There are three stages of the Way: Observe the Way, Enlightenment, Holding the Way!

Among the Laws in Holding the Way, Space Law is at the forefront...

The world is still caught in the whirlpool of Genetic Transformation, anything genetic is considered a miracle, what did I play with? Cultivation? Cultivating the rules of the Heavenly Dao? Is it considered a downgrading to use this method against the people of this world?

And it’s quite a significant downgrade... freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
