46: Lin Xiaoshan's Little Secret
Of course, although he was extremely surprised and curious about how Qin Yu managed to instantly kill a Level 39 Class Changer.
Lin Tian wasn't an insensitive person.
After expressing his admiration, he didn't ask any further questions.
Instead, he asked about Qin Yu's injuries again:
"Li Qiming's healing potion is, after all, only a low-grade healing potion. How do you feel now? Are you alright?"
In response, Qin Yu checked his body. Apart from his arms still feeling a bit numb, overall, he was relatively fine.
And, after his profession panel showed his condition was only a minor injury, Qin Yu smiled and said:
"It's nothing serious, Uncle Lin. I only sustained minor injuries just now; I would have been fine even without drinking the healing potion."
"After drinking it, I'm even more fine..."
"Mm." After taking another look at Qin Yu and confirming that he seemed genuinely fine, Lin Tian nodded, then turned to glance at Li Xingwen's corpse not far away, and continued:
"Don't worry, assassinating an SSS-rank Profession genius is a serious crime in our Dragon Country."
"What's more, you've already been specially recruited into Star Ring Academy by Lin Xiaoshan."
"Now that the evidence is conclusive, according to the power of a force like the Four Great Academies..."
"As long as it's confirmed that this person is Li Xingwen, Li Xingzhang's younger brother, then even if Li Xingzhang has great influence in our Jiangzhou City..."
"He will definitely not get away with it."
"At that time, our Lin Clan Merchant Guild will further suppress the Li Clan Group."
"Furthermore, we will submit to Star Ring Academy some of the shady dealings the Li Clan Group has been involved in over the years, which we've compiled."
"Alright, Uncle Lin."
Just as the two were casually conversing, suddenly, the roar of another car engine was heard, and it quickly arrived in front of Qin Yu and Lin Tian.
As soon as it stopped, Lin Xiaoshan, still in his tight combat suit, stepped out of the car.
The moment he got out, Lin Xiaoshan's gaze fell directly on Qin Yu.
Seemingly confirming Qin Yu's identity... Seeing this, Qin Yu naturally greeted him first:
"Teacher Lin, you've arrived."
On the way here, Lin Xiaoshan had already fully processed the matter of "Lin Yu becoming Qin Yu."
Therefore, upon hearing Qin Yu's voice and confirming that the person in front of him was the SSS-rank genius he had stumbled upon this morning.
Lin Xiaoshan wasn't overly surprised.
He just took a few extra glances at Qin Yu's true face, and seeing Qin Yu now able to speak and laugh, with no obvious injuries on his body.
He then teased, saying: "You look much better now than your previous... Lin Yu image in the secret realm."
Lin Xiaoshan's words rendered both Qin Yu and Lin Tian speechless for a moment.
Qin Yu: "..."
Lin Tian: "..."
However, despite the teasing, Qin Yu knew... this clearly showed that Lin Xiaoshan still harbored some resentment because he hadn't revealed his identity in the secret realm until the very end.
That's why he said that.
In response, Qin Yu could only give a dry laugh and replied:
"There was nothing I could do, Teacher Lin..."
The matter was quickly glossed over. After Qin Yu, Lin Tian, and Lin Xiaoshan conversed for a few more sentences.
Lin Xiaoshan then shifted his gaze to Li Xingwen and began to deal with the situation.
Of course, by 'deal with it,' Lin Xiaoshan simply took pictures of the surrounding area to prove that Qin Yu had indeed been assassinated.
Then he picked up Li Xingwen's corpse and casually tossed it into the car's trunk.
The entire process took less than a few minutes.
And after all that was done.
Lin Xiaoshan returned to Qin Yu and Lin Tian's side.
"Teacher Lin, is that all?" Qin Yu was still a bit confused by Lin Xiaoshan's simple and crude method of handling things.
However, Lin Xiaoshan was quite confident about it.
He explained to Qin Yu:
"Of course, don't worry. As long as we can confirm that this person is Li Xingwen, Li Xingzhang's younger brother, as you said, then Li Xingzhang definitely won't escape."
"Alright." After hearing Lin Xiaoshan's affirmative answer.
Qin Yu felt relatively assured.
He didn't ask any further questions... he had considerable confidence in the strength of Star Ring Academy, one of the Four Great Academies of the Dragon Country.
"By the way, Lin... uh, Qin Yu, in your current state, can you still handle tomorrow's College Entrance Examination?"
"I see that the equipment that comes with your profession seems to be completely ruined."
"If it's really not possible, you don't actually have to participate in the College Entrance Examination..."
"You can just come directly to our Star Ring Academy then."
The matter of Li Xingwen was temporarily concluded. Lin Xiaoshan glanced at Qin Yu, who was still covered in blood, and had already noticed the two terrible mechanical prosthetics on Qin Yu's arms.
For a moment, he tried to persuade Qin Yu to rest at home tomorrow and not participate in the College Entrance Examination.
Of course, there was certainly concern in this persuasion... but it also contained Lin Xiaoshan's own little scheme.
From the current situation, Qin Yu's profession, whose name was still unknown, was simply too terrifying.
He had only completed his Class Change ceremony less than twenty days ago... and was already capable of directly killing a Level 34 Silver Wolf King and a Level 39 intermediate Class Changer.
And with such terrifying talent... if Qin Yu really participated in the College Entrance Examination tomorrow, and thoroughly displayed it in front of everyone and all the academies during the exam.
Lin Xiaoshan didn't even need to think; the other three academies would definitely compete with their Star Ring Academy for him.
And they might even fight tooth and nail for him.
After all, this was truly too terrifying!
Honestly, thinking about the Star Ring Academy's situation among the Four Great Academies in recent years, he was genuinely afraid that Qin Yu wouldn't be able to resist the temptations of other academies.
And then, switch to another one.
If Qin Yu didn't participate in the College Entrance Examination, that would undoubtedly minimize this risk.
At that time, their Star Ring Academy could quietly make a fortune, taking both of Jiangzhou City's SSS-ranks into their fold.
However, it was clear that Lin Xiaoshan's little scheme was destined to fail.
Regarding his persuasion, Qin Yu rejected it almost without thinking:
"It's fine, Teacher Lin. I feel perfectly well right now. I will participate in tomorrow's College Entrance Examination."
