21: Chapter 21, 26-character military

Seeing Ling Yichen's indifferent expression, more worry welled up in Ye Qingzhu's eyes.

Thinking that Ling Yichen did not know the power of the Six Great Families, she immediately advised:

"The Six Great Families are truly very strong. You should be more careful, and don't be so stubborn. You need to know when to bow your head. This isn't the Old City District; there are many powerful people here. If you're not careful, your life could be in danger!"

Seeing her so worried, Ling Yichen smiled slightly and said indifferently, "It's fine, they won't do anything to me."

"If they are coming to cause trouble for me just because of this trivial matter, then these Six Great Families aren't exactly kind-hearted, and someone stronger will wipe them out!"

Ye Qingzhu was stunned for a moment. She wanted to say something else, but didn't know what to say, so she could only helplessly glance at Tian Yingying and W.

She found that both Tian Yingying and W had blank expressions, as they also knew nothing about the Six Great Families and had no sense of how powerful they were.

"Forget it, you will know in the future."

Ye Qingzhu sighed.

After this little episode, the few of them had no interest in continuing to wander around.

Ye Qingzhu led the three to the Academic Affairs Office to report in, collected the school uniforms issued by the school, and then went home.

When they returned home, it was only three or four o'clock.

After Ye Qingzhu asked W and Ling Yichen what they wanted for dinner, they each went back to their rooms.

Just as Ling Yichen was preparing to lie down and rest for a while, there was a knock on his door.

He turned and opened the door, only to see W standing at the doorway with a serious expression.

"Is it convenient? I want to chat with you about the Goddess."

Mentioning the Goddess immediately piqued Ling Yichen's interest.

In fact, he was also quite curious about that Goddess.

Based on his understanding, people from Sky City would not easily come down to the Surface.

Moreover, people from Sky City had a natural sense of class superiority over the Surface. To put it bluntly, people from Sky City viewed people on the Surface as lowly people.

It was just like how people on the Surface viewed the drifters from the underground as lowly people.

They looked down on people from the Surface from the bottom of their hearts, let alone gather with them.

Therefore, a situation like today's could be said to be a very strange phenomenon.

"Come in!"

Ling Yichen invited W in.

After entering the room, W did not stand on ceremony, sat directly on the sofa, and stared at Ling Yichen with bright, piercing eyes.

Ling Yichen did not mind, sat beside her, and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on W's beautiful face, and she replied, "Before we talk about the Goddess, don't you think we should introduce ourselves first? After all... we both came down from Sky City, didn't we?"

Hearing this, Ling Yichen's expression changed slightly.

But he immediately returned to normal and looked at W seriously.

Seeing Ling Yichen's reaction, the smile on W's face became even brighter.

"It seems I really didn't guess wrong; you really did come down from Sky City. Actually, I was suspicious before, but now I'm certain."

"Since I'm the one who came to find you, I'll introduce myself first. I am W from the Sky City 26-Character Army, and I have been ordered to come down to investigate the death of Experiment Subject No. 9 from the Celestial God Laboratory!"

"The reason I appeared here is to get close to Ye Qingzhu. According to my investigation, she was once at the location where Experiment Subject No. 9 died!"

"And she underwent awakening the next day. I need to ensure she has no connection with Experiment Subject No. 9!"

"What about you? What is your identity, and why do you want to get close to Ye Qingzhu?"

"Don't deny it, I can tell you have different feelings for her!"

W's eyes revealed a playful look.

At this moment, Ling Yichen was calm on the Surface, but his heart was already undergoing a brainstorm!

"Damn, 26-Character Army? What the hell is that? I've never heard of it!"

"Also, since she came to investigate me, why doesn't she recognize me when I'm sitting right in front of her!"

"Could it be... she's spouting nonsense? If she really came to investigate me, she would have at least seen my file."

"Although my file doesn't have any truly useful information other than basic details like height and age, at least my appearance should be easily recognizable!"

"Hmph, I almost got tricked by her!"

After analyzing it, Ling Yichen's heart had returned to calm.

However, he did not respond to W's words and just sat calmly.

Until W couldn't help it anymore and asked, "Uh... I've already introduced myself, shouldn't you say something?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yichen said indifferently, "I have nothing to say."

W immediately widened her eyes, looked at Ling Yichen in surprise, and said, "But I've introduced myself. Out of courtesy, shouldn't you also introduce your own identity?"

Ling Yichen immediately gave her a look like he was looking at a fool.

"You said it voluntarily; I didn't force you, nor did I make a deal with you."

This...

W was speechless, staring at him in astonishment.

After several seconds, she sighed and said helplessly, "Fine, I was careless. I didn't expect you to be so cunning; I really misjudged you."

"However, if you don't give me some bottom line, I can't trust you, and naturally I can't share information about the Goddess with you."

As she spoke, she stood up directly from the sofa and walked straight towards the door.

Seeing this, Ling Yichen did not stop her, until W had walked to the door and placed her hand on the doorknob.

"You... aren't you going to ask me to stay? Aren't you interested in Goddess Yileina?"

W looked back at Ling Yichen, looking puzzled.

Ling Yichen raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm interested, but I won't force you to say it. If you want to say it, say it; if you don't want to, forget it."

After hearing this, W immediately showed a defeated expression, let go of the doorknob, walked back to Ling Yichen's side, sat back on the sofa, and said with a resentful look, "You guy, you are really unfathomable!"

She sighed again and then said, "Elina, a direct descendant of the Sky Eye Family. She is called a Goddess, but that is relative to the families on the Surface. Her status is very noble, but in Sky City, she is just an ordinary family member."

"The reason she appeared on the Surface is because she made a mistake in Sky City and was demoted to perform a mission."

"Her mission is to select some outstanding talents from the Six Great Families of the Surface and bring them to Sky City for training!"

W told all about Elina in one breath.

After listening, Ling Yichen nodded thoughtfully. This information was quite important to him.

This allowed him to have a certain understanding of the forces in Sky City, and at the same time, he had a preliminary understanding of Elina.

For some reason, he always felt that he would meet this woman again.

To be honest, he didn't really want to see her again, mainly because her eyes could automatically release mental interference, which made him very uncomfortable.

The eye contact that afternoon gave him a feeling that his consciousness was about to be crushed, which was very strange.

Just as he was preparing to ask about the mental interference, his door was knocked on again.

Ling Yichen and W immediately looked at each other. Ling Yichen rose leisurely and opened the door, only to see Ye Qingzhu standing outside.

Ye Qingzhu saw W sitting on the sofa at a glance, and her expression suddenly stiffened.

"You..."

"Sorry to disturb you!"

After saying that, Ye Qingzhu actually ran back to her own home, leaving Ling Yichen looking blank.
