321: Are you teaching me how to do things? (Two in one)

"I don't know."

Lin Yang thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly.

He really didn't know how to make the Silver-haired woman prove herself.

Maple gave him too little information.

"You don't know? Then why are you asking me to prove it?" The Silver-haired woman showed a hint of surprise.

Lin Yang sighed.

This was the downside of not having enough information.

If Maple had said a few more words that day, he wouldn't be so conflicted now.

Yes.

Conflicted.

On one hand, he felt that what the Silver-haired woman said should not be a lie and that she could be trusted.

But on the other hand, he also felt that trusting her completely based solely on her word would be too rash.

After a pause, Lin Yang suddenly said, "You just said that when you met again, a hundred years had passed, and then you said you lost perception of the red bean bracelet for over two hundred years. Doesn't that mean you are at least over three hundred years old?"

He had no way to confirm whether what the Silver-haired woman said was true, and the situation was temporarily at a stalemate.

And the best way to break a stalemate is usually for a third party to enter.

There was no third party now, so Lin Yang decided to ask about other things, hoping that through communication on other topics, he could glean more information.

And he was genuinely curious and shocked.

Could a person live this long?

The Silver-haired woman's eyes flickered slightly, as if she had seen through Lin Yang's thoughts, and she nodded with a smile: "That's right. Are you curious why I can live this long?"

"Uh... yes." Lin Yang nodded directly.

"Hehe, you're so shocked at only a few hundred years old. It seems your Civilization is also an ordinary low-level Civilization."

The Silver-haired woman chuckled softly, and in Lin Yang's astonished expression, she explained:

"It's simple. The stronger the technological Civilization, the longer a person's Life span. The more advanced the technology, the longer a person can live. The average Life span of people in low-level Civilizations usually doesn't exceed a hundred years, and living past a hundred is considered rare."

"But in advanced technological Civilizations, the average Life span of people can reach around one hundred and fifty years, and unlike low-level Civilizations where people become frail, old, and plagued by various diseases when they reach seventy or eighty, they can live as healthily as middle-aged people until their Life span is almost exhausted."

"That amazing?" Lin Yang couldn't help but exclaim.

"It's just average." The Silver-haired woman's tone was flat. "In top-tier technological Civilizations, the average person can live to about two hundred and fifty years, with a very few reaching two hundred and eighty years."

"...Can live to two hundred and eighty years??" Lin Yang gasped.

This was truly exaggerated.

The Silver-haired woman emphasized, "Only a few ordinary people can reach two hundred and eighty years; usually, the Life span of ordinary people is around two hundred and fifty years."

"That's still incredible." Lin Yang was still very shocked.

"This is incredible?" The Silver-haired woman smiled faintly. "This is just the upper limit for ordinary people. The Life span of advanced Gene Warrior is far more than this!"

"How long can Gene Warrior live at most?" Lin Yang blinked.

"Ordinary Gene Warrior are not much stronger than ordinary people, and some even live shorter lives, because ordinary Gene Potion are used to overdraw a person's physical potential in exchange for increased power. Only those special, advanced Gene Warrior can live a little longer, with an average Life span exceeding three hundred years."

The Silver-haired woman explained again.

"So in some powerful Civilizations, some influential figures will try to become advanced Gene Warrior to live for a few more decades."

"Oh..." Lin Yang blinked, then asked, "What about Extraordinary Warrior?"

"Extraordinary Warrior?" The Silver-haired woman smiled slightly. "The Life span of Extraordinary Warrior varies greatly. I can only tell you that even the most ordinary Extraordinary Warrior can live at least five hundred years!"

"Five, five hundred years?" Lin Yang was dumbfounded.

"Yes, of course, this is assuming no accidents occur." The Silver-haired woman nodded.

"This..." Lin Yang didn't know what to say.

This sounded truly abnormal.

After a moment of silence, Lin Yang asked, "Is it difficult to become an Extraordinary Warrior?"

Not to mention that he had already formed a partnership with Maple and was to become an Extraordinary Warrior to avenge him in the future.

Just for that five hundred years of Life span, he had to find a way to become an Extraordinary Warrior!

"Difficult, and not difficult."

The Silver-haired woman smiled faintly, pointed at Lin Yang, and said leisurely:

"For you, it shouldn't be difficult. Maple has provided you with bloodline protection and inherited a portion of Extraordinary power to you. If nothing unexpected happens, as long as you acquire some suitable Extraordinary substances, you will be able to become an Extraordinary Warrior."

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yang's expression instantly changed.

The Silver-haired woman actually detected the existence of the partial Extraordinary power Maple had inherited to him!?

"Don't be afraid. I said, you are someone Maple trusts. I won't do anything to you. I am not an enemy." The Silver-haired woman emphasized again.

"..." Lin Yang's mouth twitched slightly.

This Maple was really unreliable.

He said he could conceal his aura, but now he was completely seen through by her.

"Don't worry, under normal circumstances, others cannot track the red bean bracelet or detect the Extraordinary aura on you."

The Silver-haired woman's gaze seemed to penetrate people's hearts as she spoke to Lin Yang again.

Lin Yang's brows furrowed.

He was about to ask how the Silver-haired woman had detected it, but before he could, the Silver-haired woman spoke again on her own initiative:

"The reason I can track the red bean bracelet is because it is originally mine. I left my aura in it, and because of this, the red bean bracelet does not reject my power's probing, so I naturally sensed the power of the partial Extraordinary aura you inherited."

"But these things, besides me, no one else can do. There are some protective measures left by Maple in the bracelet. Unless someone's strength far exceeds his by too much, no one else's power can penetrate the red bean bracelet's protection and detect anything about you."

The Silver-haired woman gave a detailed explanation to reassure Lin Yang.

"So that's how it is." Lin Yang murmured.

Although these were still just the Silver-haired woman's words, he believed the credibility could reach eighty percent.

After all, Maple had said before that if people from Chu Country detected that they had made contact, they would definitely interrogate him directly, not patiently explain so much to him.

Especially not making up a story.

Of course, it was not ruled out that this was a gentle tactic to deliberately gain his trust.

But his intuition told him that this possibility was extremely low.

Because, when the Silver-haired woman mentioned Maple, the tenderness in her eyes was very difficult to fake.

Another point was that she never mentioned "realm."

It seemed she didn't know that Maple knew about the "realm."

"Do you have any other doubts or questions?" The Silver-haired woman asked proactively when she saw Lin Yang silent.

Lin Yang hesitated for a moment, then looked at the Silver-haired woman and said word by word, "Do you know an Extraordinary Universe Country called Chu?"

"Chu?" The Silver-haired woman nodded. "Of course, I know. That is a very powerful Extraordinary Universe Country."

"Are you stronger than them? Or rather, can you alone deal with their entire Universe Country?" Lin Yang asked again.

"Haha, kid, you really are fearless in your ignorance. Chu Country is one of the strongest Extraordinary Universe Country. Although I am not weak, I cannot destroy Chu Country alone." The Silver-haired woman was amused by Lin Yang's words.

Lin Yang didn't laugh; he was constantly observing the Silver-haired woman's reaction.

The reason he asked this was to observe whether she was indeed someone sent by Chu Country.

If so, upon hearing these questions, she would surely have some subconscious reactions.

But the Silver-haired woman did not.

This increased Lin Yang's trust in her even further.

After laughing, the Silver-haired woman looked at him in surprise: "How do you know about Chu Country? Did Maple tell you?"

"Uh..." Lin Yang was stunned for a moment, realizing that his question seemed to have exposed that he had indeed met Maple.

He stopped speaking and quietly watched the Silver-haired woman.

This was equivalent to tacitly admitting the fact.

Now it remained to be seen what reaction the Silver-haired woman would have.

He had indirectly admitted to meeting Maple. If she were truly an enemy of Chu Country, then her objective would have been achieved, and she should now drop her disguise and reveal her true intentions to interrogate him.

If she remained unchanged, then the probability of her being trustworthy could increase further.

Seeing this, the Silver-haired woman let out a long breath and looked at Lin Yang with a smile: "You finally admit to having met Maple. Can you tell me now where you met Maple?"

Her words carried a hint of surprise.

This made Lin Yang silent for a moment.

Neither from her words nor her expressions could he find a single flaw in the Silver-haired woman.

That joy was completely heartfelt.

"Sigh." Lin Yang sighed inwardly, no longer probing, and slowly said, "We did meet by chance. On this point, I truly didn't lie to you. The place we met by chance was within a star field of the Yunlu Civilization."

"It was really a chance encounter?" The Silver-haired woman was greatly astonished, then said incredulously, "Just a chance encounter? You're not Maple's disciple or some relative?"

"No." Lin Yang shook his head.

"Then how could he give you the red bean bracelet?" The Silver-haired woman found it hard to understand, but in the next instant, she said with a trembling voice, "Could it be that Maple really met with an accident?"

The red bean bracelet held immense significance for them.

She also believed that unless there was an irresistible accident, Maple would never give the red bean bracelet to an outsider.

So, the moment she saw the red bean bracelet, she had already guessed that Maple had most likely met with misfortune.

But until she got the true answer, she had still held a glimmer of hope.

However, that glimmer of hope was now on the verge of shattering.

"You guessed correctly. Because he was going to die, and I was the only person he met before his death, so he gave me the bracelet."

Lin Yang slowly spoke, briefly explaining the situation at the time, and then said:

"Otherwise, why would he give such an important item of yours to a stranger like me, whom he met by chance?"

Buzz!

A terrifying power fluctuation emanated from the Silver-haired woman, and her body trembled: "Maple... did he really say that?"

"Yes." Lin Yang nodded again.

"Maple... Maple..."

The Silver-haired woman instantly became extremely distressed.

Waves of violent aura continuously emanated from her body.

Lin Yang watched quietly.

He could understand the Silver-haired woman's feelings at this moment.

Hundreds of years without seeing each other, only to be separated forever by death.

Anyone would find this hard to accept.

It took a full half an hour for the Silver-haired woman to somewhat calm her emotions, then she suddenly stared at Lin Yang and said, "Was it done by people from Chu Country?"

"...I..." Lin Yang wanted to deny it.

After all, the Silver-haired woman had just said that she was no match for Chu Country.

Lin Yang was afraid she would act impulsively if she knew the truth.

But, the Silver-haired woman snorted coldly, staring at him, and said faintly, "You don't need to try to deceive me. You just asked me if I could destroy Chu Country, which proves that Maple is at least not from Chu Country, otherwise you wouldn't ask that!"

"..." Lin Yang sighed inwardly; the Silver-haired woman was too shrewd.

Immediately, meeting the Silver-haired woman's piercing gaze, Lin Yang could only slowly nod.

The aura around the Silver-haired woman instantly became even more violent, and silver light appeared in her eyes as she said with boiling killing intent, "Chu Country! What a Chu Country!"

Seeing this, Lin Yang quickly said, "You just said you're no match for Chu Country. I think you'd better calm down and not think about seeking revenge now. I believe Maple would also want you to live well."

"Hmph, are you telling me what to do?" The Silver-haired woman snorted angrily.

"...I wouldn't dare! I just think it's better to live to fight another day."

Lin Yang immediately shook his head, persuading her:

"If you rush in impulsively now, not only will you fail to get revenge, but you might also sacrifice yourself there. That's not worth it. It's better to plan slowly and wait for the right opportunity."

The Silver-haired woman's violent aura still hadn't dissipated.

Seeing this, Lin Yang sighed again and said once more, "Besides, if you die now, won't there be no one left to avenge him in the future?"

"..."

The Silver-haired woman was visibly stunned upon hearing this.

Then the violent aura around her began to gradually dissipate.

After the silver light in her eyes also faded and clarity returned, the Silver-haired woman looked at Lin Yang:

"You inherited some of Maple's power. Maple treated you like this, paving the way for you to become an Extraordinary Warrior. You will also have to avenge him in the future."

"That's right, but right now, I'm only slightly stronger than an ordinary person. Do you expect me to be realistic?" Lin Yang's eyes flashed. "So, you can't be impulsive. Future revenge still depends on you."

The Silver-haired woman looked deeply at him, then closed her eyes slightly.

When she opened her eyes again, the Silver-haired woman had become extremely calm:

"What you said makes a bit of sense. I do need to plan. Tell me, why was Maple being hunted by Chu Country?"

"This... I don't know. He didn't say." Lin Yang's heart skipped a beat, then he said without changing his expression.

Although the Silver-haired woman could now be almost completely trusted, the existence of the "realm" was of great importance.

He still had to keep some things to himself.

The Silver-haired woman's gaze was like a torch, sweeping over him, and she snorted lightly, "You probably haven't told me the complete truth."

Lin Yang's heart immediately tightened.

She could even see that?

However, before he could think further, he heard the Silver-haired woman say again, "But it doesn't matter anymore. I only need to know who the enemy is."

Lin Yang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, thank you for telling me about Maple's situation. I need to take back the red bean bracelet."

The Silver-haired woman suddenly spoke.

This made Lin Yang somewhat bewildered: "This bracelet, besides protecting me, also has the function of concealing my aura. If you take it back, wouldn't that mean..."

Before he could finish, the Silver-haired woman waved her hand and interrupted him: "Don't worry, I will naturally give you something else to conceal your aura."

"...Can it be more powerful than this bracelet?" Lin Yang muttered.

"What? You don't believe in my strength?" The Silver-haired woman glared.
