Urban All-Round Master-Chapter 1606 - 1640: Can the Holy War Angel Become a Saint?
Half past nine at night... Venturing deep into the Beiming Mansion, Lin Zifeng circled around aimlessly for a good half an hour, following the route indicated by Beiming Lan, before he finally found the place where Beiming Yu was.
"This Beiming Family really has an unfathomable foundation! In just a few decades, they’ve grown their family to such a level, it’s truly monstrous!"
Lin Zifeng kept cursing under his breath. The Beiming Mansion was astonishingly large, a never-ending maze...
"Beiming Yu, I’ve arrived. You should be able to come out now, right?" Standing in a certain backyard of the Beiming Mansion, Lin Zifeng glanced around.
This damn backyard is really remote, and the Beiming Mansion is already huge enough. But it seems their backyard is even built on a little hill.
"Swish swish swish~" In the darkness, shadows flickered, as fast as lightning. Almost in an instant, a very bright yet fleeting light pierced through the pitch-black night...
Lin Zifeng knew it must be Beiming Yu appearing.
"Whoosh~" Beiming Yu landed, clad in snow-colored gauze, with a beauty that shames both the moon and flowers, enchanting like a sinking fish and a falling goose. Very beautiful.
"Beiming Yu, I’m here." Lin Zifeng approached with a smile, admiring her figure. It must be said, Beiming Yu’s skin was tight and fair, her looks were quite impressive; anyone would mistake her for someone in her early twenties...
"You came quite quickly." Beiming Yu cast him a sly sidelong glance.
"Haha... Collaborating with a big family like the Beiming Family, if I come late, would I still have a chance?" Lin Zifeng chuckled.
"Well, I hadn’t been to the Beiming Family before. Now that I’ve seen it, it’s impressive. In just a few decades, being able to elevate a family to such heights, definitely not a simple feat."
Beiming Yu smiled charmingly: "A youth who could swiftly rise to power in Zhonghai within half a year shouldn’t be weak either, right?"
"..."
Lin Zifeng knew better than to argue with her.
With a laugh, he said, "Beiming, I’ve already agreed to give your Huayu fifty percent shares in Yanjing. How should we proceed with our collaboration?"
"Don’t, kid. Who’s your elder sister? Don’t call me so old, okay?" Beiming Yu shot him a disapproving glance.
"Then what should I call you?"
"Just call me Beiming Yu. Don’t flatter me by calling me sister. That doesn’t work on me."
"..."
Lin Zifeng nodded.
"Alright. Since you’ve come looking for me today, there’s something I’ve always wanted to ask you."
"Ask away." Lin Zifeng nodded.
"Do you know anything about the rumors of the Blazing Angel?" Beiming Yu suddenly asked.
Hmm?! Lin Zifeng’s sword-like brows furrowed.
"I don’t know!" Lin Zifeng replied decisively.
"Oh? I think you should be aware of this rumor. And you probably have a deep connection with the Blazing Angel, don’t you?"
Beiming Yu turned around, hitting the biggest secret in Lin Zifeng’s heart with a single sentence.
"Boom~" Lin Zifeng’s mind exploded.
"You don’t need to answer me immediately, just a yes or no will do. From the first time I saw you, I felt you resembled someone, someone truly extraordinary. But I wasn’t sure."
"Oh? Then tell me, who is this extraordinary person you think I resemble?" Lin Zifeng said with a smile, though his mind was churning.
"Holy War Angel!" Beiming Yu suddenly said.
Lin Zifeng maintained extreme silence and composure, even though his heart was a stormy sea.
"If I’m not mistaken, you should know the rumors about that person."
"Holy War Angel? I’ve heard, but never seen."
"Heh... He disappeared five years ago, so naturally, you haven’t seen him. Of course, whether he is still alive is indeed worth pondering. If those families hadn’t severed the Greek Chain Bridge during the retreat that year, the Blazing Angel Organization would probably not have been defeated in the battle of Greece. It’s a pity. Though the organization’s individual strength isn’t impressive, it at least had potential, particularly the Holy War Angel. If he had survived that battle, he might have become the first Saint in Huaxia by now in the past five years!"
"Do you know about the hidden secrets behind the battle in the Greece Wilderness that year?" Lin Zifeng’s brows furrowed, eyes filled with cold and murderous intent. However, he quickly quelled the anger within his heart with his strong will.
He had never mentioned anything about the Blazing Angel to Beiming Yu. Today, Beiming Yu suddenly brought it up, making him suspicious.
Does Beiming Yu already know my identity?
"I know a little, but not everything," Beiming Yu lifted her chin and smiled: "Are you very concerned about this?"
"Not particularly concerned, just curious. If the Beiming Family Head is willing to share, I would certainly listen with great interest," Lin Zifeng said with a smile.
Beiming Yu’s sharp gaze tried to catch a hint of change in his eyes, but unfortunately, she was disappointed by his calmness and composure.
"Since you want to know, there’s no harm in telling you," Beiming Yu laughed softly and said: "In those days, there was a particularly mysterious organization in Huaxia, known at the time as the Blazing Angel Organization. The members of this organization bore the highest mission to protect Huaxia, preventing foreign barbarians from invading and ensuring stability within Huaxia.
Though the individual strength of the Blazing Angel members was not very strong, their collective strength was particularly terrifying. If you faced any one of them, you’d have to prepare for death because these fearful fellows fought without thinking of survival. Among them was an exceptionally outstanding leader I had the fortune to meet several times.
However, his cultivation was indeed terrifying, but what drew most attention was not his cultivation, but his potential."
"The only one who could become a Saint now?" Lin Zifeng asked in surprise.
Beiming Yu gave him a disapproving look, clearly annoyed at his interruption of her storytelling.
"Cultivation is something that, as long as you live long enough, you can reach a certain level. Moreover, over thousands of years in Huaxia, there have been numerous individuals with profound cultivation. But truly achieving sainthood is rare. It is a realm every cultivator hopes and aspires to reach.
Cultivation is easy to attain, but time is not. It’s not that cultivators can’t reach that realm; it’s that they don’t live long enough to reach it before dying. Yet the Holy War Angel managed to grasp the mystery of sainthood in his early thirties; if he were alive, he would presumably be the first Saint in modern Huaxia after five years!"
"Hasn’t anyone achieved sainthood in Huaxia’s thousands of years of civilization?" Lin Zifeng was shocked, not quite understanding the meaning of sainthood.
"Yes, but they all died. They didn’t live long enough before dying," Beiming Yu said.
