“What happened?” She asked.

“It is fine.”

I was still a little shocked, “Lin Xi, what rewards did you get from the quest?”

“A Chaotic Grade chestplate.”

She licked her lips and smiled, “What about you?”

“A Chaotic Grade cape…”

I frowned and muttered, “It really is dangerous, equipment gotten using our lives really is strong. The difficulty is average but the scenario…”

“En.”

Lin Xi licked her lips, “I rather not do such a quest…”

“Stop thinking about it.”

I looked at her and said, “If we didn’t come, Ailan would die alone right?”

She looked at me and nodded, “En!”

I sucked in a deep breath and looked at the time. It was 4pm, but I didn’t have the mood to stay online so I said, “I want to head offline to rest, what about you?”

“I will accompany you…”

“Okay!”

The two of us went offline together.

……

When I took off the helmet, Lin Xi wore her hairclip and got up, “What do you want to drink, I will go get it for you!”

“Ice coke!”

“En—”

I sat on the sofa and drank coke while watching television with her. After ten minutes, I felt a fiery pain and then stood up.

“What happened?” Lin Xi asked.

“No… Nothing!”

I shook my head and smiled, “My stomach hurts… Let me go offline, you watch by yourself.”

“Oh…”

I dashed downstairs and returned to my room. I took off my clothes and when I was about to head to the washroom, a curved red mark was spreading. The Blazing Sun power in my body was surging and it was not something that I could control!

Intense pain swept me and I could only grit my teeth and try to suppress it. This lasted for 20 minutes and finally, the flame mark disappeared. My body was emptied out, it was as if a new world was opened. The Blazing Sun energy was injected into this new world and my strength started to increase.

“What is going on?”

I frowned, I was actually familiar with that intense pain. Not long ago when I was in the whirlpool, the storm attack from the guide dealt such pain. I didn’t die and actually gained something? The reason why I didn’t die was because of the ancient bracelet, what power allowed it to turn back time?

I remembered carefully that now only did the time in game rewind, real life time also went back by ten seconds just that everyone else didn’t notice.

I took a picture of the flame mark and sent it to Lin Cheng and asked, “Master, my body changed, what is going on?”

In just ten seconds, Lin Cheng sent a voice message–

“You brat, when did this happen?”

“Just now.”

“Are you better now?”

“En, much better, the mark has subsided and my strength… It has increased, what is happening…”

“Don’t call it flame mark, that is so unprofessional. You brat really is loved by the heavens, you are much stronger than your senior brother. This mark is one of your meridians being activated, this meridian is the ninth extreme meridian and is a meridian outside of the 8 meridians. Till date, only a few people can open this. Even then, only people in God Realm can get it and those are just legends. If not for me being knowledgeable, you probably won’t know what this is!”

I sucked in a deep breath, “Master, so I am an expert now?”

“Expert?”

His voice was filled with disdain, “A Blazing Sun Realm person shouldn’t say such things, people might laugh at you. Let me say this, the moment you entered Blazing Sun, you are already a top human.”

“…”

Who knows if it was real or not, I felt like the old man was just praising himself.

But since this was the legendary ninth meridian, I really benefitted. One I needed to do was to grow until I could defeat Huang Yuan. Only then would my family be safe.

But, speaking of which I hadn’t cultivated before. The growth was just like how my body had a seed and it was just growing by itself. Energy Controlling Realm was like that, Blazing Sun REalm and now the ninth meridian too.

As for why I didn’t know at all. I could only let it happen and one day I would find out.

Anyways, a riddle was slowly unraveling. As compared to before when I knew nothing, I understood a lot more. I even started to contact mysterious presences like the guide. I believe that one day everything will reveal itself. –

……

I adjusted my clothing and headed upstairs.

“So long?”

Lin Xi looked at me and laughed, “Really stomachache?”

“En.”

I nodded, “So let’s not drink cold drinks in cold weather.”

“…”

At that moment, there was some movement and Shen Mingxuan came offline. She looked at me and then at Lin Xi, “What are you two doing, you aren’t leveling and are just talking here. Are your levels too high?”

“Yea.”

Lin Xi said, “Lu Li and I are both level 124.”

“Sickos…”

Shen Mingxuan was speechless and adjusted her skirt, “Talk then, I am going to pee…”

“…”

I was speechless, “Using the most elegant demeanors to say the most uncultured words?”

“Hahaha—”

Shen Mingxuan pouted at me, “Mind your own business!”

She returned to her own room.

Lin Xi and I laughed and continued to watch television.

Not long later, Ruyi went offline. She probably found us noisy. Shen Mingxuan walked out too and said, “Lin Xi, Ah Li there is stuff about you two online, many people are watching?”

“Ah?”

Lin Xi and I were lost.

When I took my phone, I noticed that it was a video post and it was of Lin Xi and I return to the city after the inflection point. I shouted Lin Xi to ask her to listen, my attitude and voice were really firm and Lin Xi looked wronged. Looking at it, it was indeed my fault and the post started to add drama–

Hot (Video) Come and look, Lin Xi is getting bullied! Posted: Juicy news

……

Shen Mingxuan looked at the video and then at me, “Explain? Why you shout at her?”

“I…”

“You really are a scum!”

I, “…”

Lin Xi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Mingxuan don’t add to the drama, that was not what happened. Lu Li was emotional because he cared about me, I know.”

“Is that so?” Shen Mingxuan looked at me.

“Of course!”

I stared, “If not? What do you mean get her, I didn’t okay!”

“What are you saying!”

Lin Xi punched me and her face flushed red.

Shen Mingxuan stared at me to judge me but I was also staring at her.

Lin Xi said softly, “Why not… I clarify and say that you didn’t shout at me, it is just a misunderstanding.”

“No need…”

Shen Mingxuan sat down and smiled, “If you really post it, people will say that you are forced by him to make that statement. Both of you are public figures so anything you say will be magnified. Rather than that, don’t say anything.”

“Wise!”

I nodded and looked at her in awe, “You really understand that, if Lin Xi debuts, you can be her manager.”

“Oh, is that so?”

She looked at us, “Lin Xi do you want to learn from Lin Wan Er to become a superstar? Then Boss Lu will invest in you?”

“Stop it!”

Lin Xi laughed, “Lu Li’s one sentence and you can tease so much, you should really go be a detective!”

I nodded, “Why not we just think about what to eat for dinner?”
