Quan Rui was contemplating Lin Feng’s question, and Lu Xiaobu was also thinking about it.

Lin Feng’s strength is definitely not what it appears!

Yes! That’s right!

Lin Feng’s strength is definitely more than this!

First, Lin Feng doesn’t lack resources!

Second, Lin Feng doesn’t lack cultivation techniques!

Third, Lin Feng doesn’t lack determination!

Fourth, Lin Feng has already gathered the Five Elements!

Zhang Meng and Li Jin were able to rapidly achieve grandmaster status after the spiritual energy’s revival, and Xue Changzhi also became a grandmaster!

So what about Lin Feng?!

He is definitely a grandmaster now!

And because of the Five Elements gathering, he possesses special abilities that a normal grandmaster wouldn’t have!

It must be the case!

And the reason he said he wasn’t in a hurry earlier must be because of this!

He’s only injured and unable to fully recover, but using his superpower now likely doesn’t consume much energy!

Let’s do a simple calculation; even if Lin Feng lives to eighty.

Subtract the twenty-six years he’s already lived, that leaves fifty-four years!

He previously said there were six months left and then three months passed.

That means Lin Feng should have around twenty-seven years left.

This doesn’t even count the lifespan boost from grandmaster cultivation.

No, it doesn’t add up. According to earlier deductions, if the grandmaster doesn’t forcibly open other doors against the rules, the path he set before will be affected.

And Lin Feng specifically came to him to trade this time, meaning his guess is likely correct.

If things went as expected, Lin Feng only connected one path for a specific door.

If that’s the case, then divide the twenty-seven years by five.

About five years!

That’s without using other superpowers; once used, it will still consume energy.

And Lin Feng obviously won’t obediently hide like a turtle.

Based on his understanding of Lin Feng, two years!

Use the remaining three years’ lifespan to burn through!

"Two years?" Lu Xiaobu suddenly spoke up.

Lin Feng’s steps instantly halted: "Tsk!"

He uttered a syllable and continued to walk away.

But Lu Xiaobu knew he had guessed correctly!

Even if it’s not entirely accurate, it’s very close!

Good job, Lin Feng, plotting to trap me here!

And the reason he threw Quan Rui over earlier was because he saw me become a grandmaster, making this card meaningless, so he made the choice.

While threatening me by showing he has the ability to deal with grandmasters!

Interesting!

The other family heads listened to Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng’s cryptic exchange, completely baffled.

What are these two doing?

Only Xue Changzhi was carefree: "Let’s go, no matter what they’re doing, you won’t understand!"

Upon hearing his words, everyone looked puzzled.

It sounds like he’s saying our intelligence is low.

But, it does seem like there’s no way to understand such abrupt dialogue.

Eh, though unwilling, it seems we can only leave it at that!

...

After the family heads left again, the little girl was sent here.

"Brother!"

The little girl ran to Lu Xiaobu, jumping onto him, and planted a kiss on his cheek: "Mua!"

"You got heavier again." Lu Xiaobu teased the little girl.

"No!" The little girl wrinkled her nose: "Xiaobu bro is the worst, always saying that. Our teacher said it’s normal for girls to grow quickly at this stage!"

"Alright, alright, growing fast." Lu Xiaobu laughed.

Then he placed the little girl on the ground: "Have you felt unwell recently?"

"No," the little girl shook her head and said.

"Not even a little?" Lu Xiaobu frowned slightly.

According to Lin Feng, it shouldn’t be like this.

"Really, no." the little girl shook her head again.

"Alright, as long as you’re fine." Lu Xiaobu’s brow furrowed.

This lack of news actually made him even more worried.

"Oh, right." The little girl seemed to remember something and suddenly spoke.

"What is it?" Lu Xiaobu asked eagerly.

"Dumbass has been sticking to me lately!" The little girl said seriously, "He hardly curls up now, wherever I go, he goes."

"Oh?" Lu Xiaobu raised his eyebrows.

Dumbass?

Dumbass was notoriously lazy!

Would rather lie than sit, rather sit than stand.

Except for eating and finding female dogs, he would lie around all day!

What’s happened now?

Well, it’s simple, let’s ask dumbass.

"Dumbass, come in." Lu Xiaobu called out to the dumbass hiding by the door.

"Coming, coming." Dumbass begrudgingly ambled inside, shaking his head.

He recently recalled his native language—dog language, which is why Lu Xiaobu doesn’t leash him constantly.

"What’s the matter?" Lu Xiaobu asked.

The little girl knew dumbass could talk, so she wasn’t too surprised.

Don’t say the little girl couldn’t accept it.

To a little girl who saw Lu Xiaobu riding battle armor through the sky, nothing was unacceptable!

"I don’t know, just feels comfortable being around the little girl." Dumbass stood upright against the wall, shrugging.

Yes, he shrugged.

This guy is becoming less like a dog.

Look at this, just missing a cigarette.

Then he saw dumbass nudging towards the little girl.

Next, the little girl handed over a pair of custom sunglasses, placing them on dumbass’s nose.

Then she handed over a French fry, which dumbass hung by his mouth!

Finally, dumbass added a final remark: "Cool!"

Elder Yu watched this, his lips twitching madly, his eyes fluttering!

What in the world is this?!

A dog leaning against the wall, wearing sunglasses, chewing on French fries, shrugging shoulders?!

Cool, huh?!

You’re going crazy!

I know you’re Lu Xiaobu’s dog, no need to be so unique!

Lu Xiaobu’s lips also twitched wildly: "That’s enough! Watch out or I’ll beat you!"

"What?!" Dumbass complained.

"You dare to boss the little girl around?!" Lu Xiaobu glared coldly.

"Pfft!"

Elder Yu clutched his chest, feeling injured inside!

You’re concerned about that?!

So wearing sunglasses and eating fries you find normal?

"Uh..." Dumbass stuttered!

Oh no, forgot that this family is protective of their own!

This is bad!

"Quickly explain what’s going on! Or I’ll skin you and cook you in the kitchen!" Lu Xiaobu threatened.

"I really don’t know, I just feel comfortable following her and I sense I can get something from her." Dumbass confessed truthfully.

"Could it be..." Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow, "The passive absorption ability of the little girl, all taken away by you?"

Really, it might be possible.

After the spiritual energy revival, he found that animals gained spiritual energy more directly and used it more efficiently.

Like many mutant animals, they could initially use energy attacks!

While thinking, Lu Xiaobu’s gaze towards dumbass changed.

Dumbass immediately fluffed up: "What are you thinking?!"
