247: Clues on the ashes!

An Qingyu was greatly alarmed.

Previously, every time he used The Only Correct Solution and bled, it was without exception during the observation of Law power.

Although the injury this time was not as severe as before,

there was indeed a visitor with faint Divine Power in this room.

Who was it?

When did such a person sneak into Guangzhou-Shenzhen? Or was it that the Baili Group had another God's Proxy?

An Qingyu was greatly alarmed, and Lin Qi Ye had already made a move.

The originally bright room was instantly shrouded in night.

The power of night covered the entire room, and the whirlwind spun in place.

Strands of night, like spider silk, clung to the whirlwind.

In an instant, the whirlwind became like a giant loom, drawing all the night from the room into itself, as if reeling silk from cocoons.

Lin Qi Ye was shocked; the whirlwind's ability was too bizarre, and his night power couldn't suppress it.

Since he couldn't suppress it with power, Lin Qi Ye now needed a Miracle.

A golden halo bloomed from Lin Qi Ye's fingertips.

In an instant, the whirlwind seemed to be under a paralysis spell, frozen on the spot.

"Who are you? What are you here for?" Lin Qi Ye demanded.

Snap!

A crisp snap of fingers came from within the whirlwind.

"As expected of Michael, the King of Miracles. Lin Qi Ye, don't you recognize me?"

The whirlwind slowly began to turn again, and the invisible wind, blackened by night, gradually transformed into a human figure.

As the night dissipated, a proud young man appeared before Lin Qi Ye and the others.

"Shen Qingzhu?"

"Zhuai Ge?"

"How did you end up here?"

Cao Yuan was overjoyed, "You thick-browed, big-eyed fellow, have you rebelled from the New Ancient God Church again?"

Shen Qingzhu's expression stiffened, "Cao Zei, do not insult my faith in Song Zhong. This is my last time changing allegiances."

"Haha, I understand. There's only a zeroth time and countless times for such things." Cao Yuan laughed heartily.

Seeing that it was Shen Qingzhu, Lin Qi Ye also relaxed, "Zhuai Ge, why did you come to Guangzhou-Shenzhen as well?"

A hint of solemnity appeared on Shen Qingzhu's face, "Naturally, it's also about Pang Pang. I heard your conversation just now, and your guesses are basically accurate."

With that, Shen Qingzhu told everyone about Yue Huai's collusion with the Baili Family.

After listening to Shen Qingzhu's narration, Lin Qi Ye and the other two were unable to calm their emotions for a long time.

"Zhuai Ge, is what you said true?" Lin Qi Ye asked.

"I believe in Song Zhong," Shen Qingzhu's tone was full of confidence.

Cao Yuan took a deep breath, "According to you, Pang Pang has always been nothing more than Bai Li Xin's tool. But why didn't Bai Li Xin hide him away, and instead put him out in the open so high-profilely?"

"The most dangerous place is sometimes the safest. What's out in the open is often overlooked by everyone. This is the principle of 'darkness under the lamp'," Shen Qingzhu explained.

An Qingyu wiped his eyes, "While I can't prove you're right, your explanation just now certainly fits Bai Li Xin's behavioral logic.

Also, Zhuai Ge, what Realm are you in now? Why did I see Law on you?"

Only after An Qingyu's reminder did Lin Qi Ye and Cao Yuan recall Shen Qingzhu's bizarre entrance earlier.

They had seen with their own eyes that Shen Qingzhu had materialized from clear wind.

This scene was very much like elementalization in anime.

Lin Qi Ye and the others were certain that Shen Qingzhu absolutely did not have such abilities before.

Controlling air flow and transforming into air are two completely different concepts.

If he could transform into clear wind, it meant that Shen Qingzhu might have already mastered the Wind Law.

"I've fused with a portion of Wind God Xiu's power from Egypt. As for what Realm I'm in, I'm not sure either."

Shen Qingzhu was indeed unsure of his current Realm. Although he had now fused with Wind God Xiu's divine blood and become a demigod,

because he was worried about Bai Li Pang Pang's safety, he left the Huasheng Pool early, causing this demigod body to be unstable.

Therefore, the strength he could exert also depended on the specific situation.

"Is this Song Zhong's doing?" An Qingyu's eyes were filled with fervent desire, "Can I extract some of your tissue for research?"

Shen Qingzhu was so scared he took half a step back, "Wouldn't that be bad? Can I refuse?"

An Qingyu didn't pester him, "If you refuse, then forget it. Or, why don't you go back and ask Song Zhong if he's interested in experimenting on me next time?"

Shen Qingzhu tilted his head, staring strangely at An Qingyu, "An Qingyu, are all researchers as abstract as you?"

"Just kidding," An Qingyu said with a smile, "I was just trying to lighten the mood.

But now that Zhuai Ge is here too, the three of us can safely leave Guangzhou-Shenzhen."

Lin Qi Ye and Cao Yuan understood An Qingyu's meaning.

Now, not only did they have the fish species, but also Shen Qingzhu as an inside man to help them monitor the Baili Family's movements.

"Actually," Shen Qingzhu hesitated before saying, "you don't necessarily have to truly leave. I can ask Song Zhong for help to create an illusion of you leaving Guangzhou-Shenzhen."

Lin Qi Ye's eyes immediately lit up, and he looked at Cao Yuan and An Qingyu.

After all, since it involved Bai Li Pang Pang's safety, asking Song Zhong for help for this should be no problem.

Ye Fan Commander had also told them before leaving that in extraordinary times, they could act according to circumstances.

And now, wasn't this an extraordinary time?

He believed Ye Fan Commander wouldn't blame him, right?

No, he definitely wouldn't.

...

Baili Manor, Bai Li Jing finally received permission to enter Baili Manor.

He was now in Bai Li Xin's room.

Unlike when Lin Qi Ye and the others came before, the walls of the room were now completely bare, with nothing on them.

And at Bai Li Xin's feet, a brazier was burning. Clearly, before Bai Li Jing arrived, he was destroying some documents.

"Father, I heard your health has recovered somewhat. I immediately wanted to come back to see you, but you asked Uncle Chen to bring Lin Qi Ye and the others over first, so I had to be a bit late," Bai Li Jing said respectfully.

"It's good that you have that intention. Is everything normal with the Baili Group?" Bai Li Xin asked.

"Thanks to the Foundation laid by Father, I just followed the rules you left behind, and everything is very smooth."

"That's good. As long as you follow my methods, there won't be any major problems.

For the next period, the Baili Group will still be managed by you.

This is also my final test for you. If there are no problems, I can retire with peace of mind and truly entrust the Baili Group to you," Bai Li Xin said.

"Not at all, Father, you are in your prime. I am too young; without your backing, I cannot sit firmly in this position," Bai Li Jing said cautiously.

"Haha, you are so much like me when I was young.

You passed. Take the brazier outside and douse it with water. Go back and manage the Baili Group affairs well."

Bai Li Jing nodded in agreement, directly picking up the brazier, completely disregarding the burns on his hands.

He walked out carefully, his eyes fixed on the paper ash.

There were still a few pieces of ash the size of fingernails, and even though they were burned through, the writing on them was still clear.

"[Eternal Life... Tu Ming... No rejection...]"

Bai Li Jing's pupils suddenly constricted, and he was shocked, "Eternal Life? This old man is researching eternal life?"
