How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 896 - 706: Lin Weiyang Presents Herself Before the Emperor (Part 2)
"Yes!"
"And having done so much for Your Majesty, it’s only natural that he would continually promote my position, eventually making me like you, entering the government from nothing, and breaking through ten levels in half a year!"
Lin Xiaosu smiled, "That’s why I say Professor Lin is truly someone who resonates with me."
Lin Weiyang sighed softly, "I do wish to resonate with you, but there’s something I can’t quite understand. You clearly obtained this pile of information early on, and you clearly hope to climb the ranks quickly to gain a favorable position in the bureaucracy, yet you didn’t use this information, choosing instead the much tougher route of going to Jiangnan, leaving me this shortcut. Is it truly because we share the same surname and family?"
Lin Xiaosu stopped smiling, staring at Lin Weiyang.
Lin Weiyang also quietly looked at him.
You Ying glanced at one, then the other, utterly bewildered.
She was never a fool, but she seemed to have to admit that during the exchange between these two, her brain couldn’t keep up with her ears.
Just as she grasped a bit of understanding, new information quickly muddled her thoughts again.
"Professor Lin, there are two answers to this question, one is quite pleasant to hear, and the other is not so pleasant. Which one would you like to hear?"
"The pleasant one!" Lin Weiyang replied.
"Hmm..." Lin Xiaosu said, "I feel a strong affinity with the professor, and I greatly admire the professor’s character."
Lin Weiyang’s face showed an expression hard to describe, "And the unpleasant one?"
"Didn’t you already choose to hear the pleasant one? Let’s skip the unpleasant one," Lin Xiaosu said.
"Still, tell me, otherwise, I might imagine something even more complicated," Lin Weiyang said calmly.
Lin Xiaosu sighed, "The reason is actually quite simple: revealing this information carries significant risk. As long as I, Lin Xiaosu, am useful, I’d rather not die if I can avoid it."
With one sentence, You Ying’s eyes widened.
Lin Weiyang glared at him fiercely, "So? Am I useless and expendable?"
"Revolutionary work always entails sacrifices; in our grand operation, sacrifice is a normal option. If you were to sacrifice, I promise your name would be inscribed on the Soaring Dragon Stele."
Lin Weiyang closed his eyes, "Little Su, what day is it today?"
"The second day of the Lunar New Year!"
Lin Weiyang continued, "In our world, if you visit someone’s home on the second day of the Lunar New Year and curse them to die, and they chase you off with a stick, do you think that’s normal?"
Lin Xiaosu fluttered his eyes, "Understood, I’m leaving! You don’t need to chase me!"
Lin Xiaosu exited directly.
With a turn, his figure vanished.
Lin Weiyang quietly watched him, his stern face gradually relaxed, eventually revealing a trace of a smile.
"Teacher, you two talked for so long, I heard every word, understood every word, but when put together, it seems I heard a whole lot of nothing." You Ying fluttered her eyes, a trace of resentment in her voice.
Lin Weiyang laughed, "This young man is truly clever! More clever than usual!"
"Clever?"
"He seems to give me a fast track to prominence, but in reality, he’s testing!"
"Testing what?"
"Naturally, testing me!" Lin Weiyang said, "From that world to this world, he’s never truly trusted me! The six-eared Left Holder on my desk has ingrained too deep a prejudice against him."
You Ying’s face changed, "He guessed your identity?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Lin Weiyang said, "But, he ultimately suspects I am a member of the Mental Path or Heart Dao!"
You Ying exhaled lightly, "So, he gave you this heap of top-secret intelligence. If you were indeed with the Mental Path or Heart Dao, it would be impossible for you to make this information public."
"Yes, if I were with the Mental Path or Heart Dao, I would be using every means now to kill him to silence him!"
"But he’s wrong! The teacher would certainly make this information public!"
"Indeed!" Lin Weiyang said, "In three days, I will request an audience with Your Majesty!"
Lin Xiaosu and Qing Ying returned to the Marquis Mansion.
After returning to the Marquis Mansion, Lin Xiaosu sat down in the Gauze Pavilion.
"Marquis, did you meet this Lin Weiyang?" Qing Ying asked.
"I did!"
"Is he... is he really so extraordinary?" Qing Ying asked.
Lin Xiaosu smiled, "An ordinary person, without any cultivation, yet he has a Holder who became his loyal subordinate. Do you think that’s extraordinary?"
Qing Ying’s eyes widened, "A Holder?"
"Unexpected, right? I didn’t expect it at first either," Lin Xiaosu said.
This sentence, he spoke truthfully.
You Ying, he had met before. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
In another world.
While on a "honeymoon" in the South Sea with Ding Ruoshui, setting up the trap for Lin Weiyang to lure the Utopia Venerable Master, it was in that world he first met You Ying.
At the time, he already sensed that You Ying was extraordinary.
Ding Ruoshui also knew You Ying was extraordinary.
However, at most they considered You Ying as a typical template of an Enlightenment Realm being who had fallen to the mortal world.
In that day’s world, the Heavenly Dao had not brought changes. Though it greatly suppressed the Enlightenment Realm, it merely prevented them from using their full power, not from living under the guise of an "ultimate Observing Heaven" status.
But he never expected it.
You Ying was actually not Enlightenment but Holding!
The gap between Enlightenment and Holding, how should it be described? Roughly akin to the difference between a candlelight and the moon.
Upon meeting Lin Weiyang today, his sight has become incomparable to the past.
He can clearly see that You Ying is a Holder, cultivating rules of the dark classification.
You Ying did not hide from him either, waving her hand lightly, crafted a standard Holding Realm sound insulation circle right in front of him.
Knowing this, Lin Xiaosu did not ask a single word about how Lin Weiyang seized the Heart Pavilion.
