Chapter 149 The Only Blazing Sun (Comic Plot...)

[There's another chapter updated! This time, the old thief is more diligent than I imagined.]

Yes, there's even one more chapter, making a total of four chapters released. Has the old thief been put in a dark room?

In a sense, that's the truth. Yan Shi turned the page again.

Lin Cai stood beside a heavy bookshelf. This side of the bookshelf was dark, so Lin Cai's expression was not visible. On the other side of the bookshelf, near the window, was a desk, with a person sitting on each side of the desk.

Both women were dressed in the formal uniform of the Director of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs. The woman on the right had black hair and black eyes, with a cold expression; the woman on the left had gray hair, and her uniform was simply draped over her shoulders.

On the other side of the desk was a window, outside which the night was calm and starless, with the bright moon hanging high.

[Director Yan and Aunt Guan ???]

Both of them look so serious. What are they talking about? Let me hear it.

【No, why are you everywhere, Lin Cai?】

It was the day the General Administration was attacked at night.

Judging from the sky, it was still the middle of the night. But Yan Shi remembered that she discovered Lin Cai in the early morning, when she and Guan Yunji were about to leave.

So Lin Cai arrived so early?

Why didn't she sense Lin Cai's presence?

Yan Shi turned to the next page after the cover image.

Lin Cai weaved through the dense forest. A misty fog hung over the trees, and hooded figures occasionally flashed past her.

The atmosphere in the woods is extremely oppressive, with large areas of gray and shadows that send chills down your spine.

Lin Cai's expression was indifferent. She nimbly avoided the obstacles in the forest, and after taking a few more steps with a clear goal in mind, a small path suddenly appeared in front of her.

The path was not visible from a distance; it seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

Strangely, Lin Cai did not take the path. Instead, she stayed right next to the path in the nearby woods, following its direction.

Did I miss an entire season's worth of plot developments? (Confused)

[Just last chapter, Lin Cai was almost dragged into the conflicts between powerful families in the other world by the tiger cub, and got scolded by Senior Chu...?]

[This is a familiar tactic for veteran writers; after all, your manga seamlessly switches between adventure, political intrigue, and workplace dynamics.]

But this leap is too big!

The path wasn't long, and it soon came to an end. At the end was a bottomless cliff.

Lin Cai did not stop in front of the cliff.

She stepped into the abyss almost without hesitation.

The wind was still.

Whispers came from the air.

What do you want?

"Send me to the Summer Palace Library," Lin Cai said without hesitation, "and the price remains the same."

As you wish.

Lin Cai's foot landed firmly on solid ground.

It was still pitch black all around.

Lin Cai blinked, and as her eyes adjusted to the light, she gradually became able to see her surroundings more clearly. Next to her was a tall, heavy solid wood bookshelf, neatly filled with books that all looked quite old.

Where am I now?

[The previous scene's storyboard shows the Summer Palace library.]

I completely don't understand the main character, Lin Cai. How can she be sunny and lively in one episode and calm and sharp in another? Is she suffering from a split personality?

[Did I really not miss a single episode of the entire season? Who is Lin Cai making a deal with? How does she know everything??]

Lin Cai held her breath and quietly browsed the bookshelf, revealing that she had a clear goal.

After walking a few more steps, they suddenly heard voices ahead.

"No one hates the sun; everyone follows the sun and hopes that its light will fall on them."

Lin Cai stopped immediately, opened her mouth but didn't utter a sound, then her presence became even less noticeable, as if she wanted to blend into the bookshelf.

She carefully peered through the bookshelf.

It's the scene from the cover art.

Yan Ju and Guan Yunji sat on either side of the table by the window, facing each other.

Yan Ju lowered his eyelids slightly and replied in a calm tone, "She has already fallen." As he spoke, Yan Ju's eyes remained focused on the ancient book on the table, without looking up.

Lin Cai's hands involuntarily clenched the hem of her clothes.

Guan Yunji looked at Yan Ju's wrist. "This is hers."

“Mine,” Director Yan finally looked up and said expressionlessly.

The comic book deliberately cuts to a close-up shot of Yanju's wrist.

Yan Ju wore a dazzling bracelet on his wrist. The bracelet was crown-shaped, and flames seemed to dance on it.

[The Crown of Blazing Sun? It really was taken from the auction by Lanlan and given to Director Yan!]

My wife has already said that these are her things.

So who was the previous sun referring to? It seems like Yanju was avoiding the topic when it came up.

[Whoever it is! I don't care!! I'm going to explode. My wife is the only blazing sun, okay!]

Guan Yunji's gaze towards the blazing sun crown softened. "I've just had a new idea."

She completely ignored Director Yan's reply and continued on her own. After her sudden attack was subdued by Director Yan, her attitude turned cold: "Director Yan, this is the heirloom of my late friend. I have the right to take it back. It does not belong to you."

Yanju lowered his eyes again, as if suddenly becoming interested in the contents of the ancient book on the table that had not been turned yet, his gaze fixed on it.

"Your old friend?" she said sarcastically. "You reminisce about her while destroying everything she once protected. No one would treat their old friend like that."

Even though she has already fallen.

[This is the first time I've seen Director Yan show personal emotions?]

My wife isn't a heartless god; she's human, and she must have her own grievances, but she has no one to confide in.

Everyone's talking about Grandma Shan Fengyang, but Aunt Guan's attitude is really unsettling.

[How can you say she was uncomfortable? I'm speechless. She was like a kind and friendly old friend to Yanlan, but with Director Yan, she'd attack him at the slightest disagreement? What do you mean?]

[Yanju is too good-natured. If it were me, I would have taken over the entire Chuangfei team. This is outrageous.]

In the live chat, Guan Yunji coaxed Director Yan into explaining her thoughts, “Director Yan, the world barrier is already too fragile. Instead of letting it slowly collapse, let’s accelerate the process and rebuild a new one.”

After Guan Yunji finished speaking, the library fell silent.

Lin Cai tried her best to suppress her anger, biting her lower lip tightly with her upper teeth, her fingertips trembling.

She was even somewhat disoriented, with large swaths of blood and ruins flashing before her eyes.

The children are crying, and the world is turned upside down.

The next scene was a large patch of blood mixed with black, making it difficult to see clearly.

"...Since there is a second solution, there will also be a third, a fourth...and I will go and discover other methods." Yan Ju's voice drifted from afar, abruptly interrupting Lin Cai's recollection.

Lin Cai took a deep breath.

Director Yan had already looked up, his eyes filled with indifference and solemnity, staring directly at Guan Yunji. "My surname is Yan, and I am the director of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs."

"As for you, Ms. Guan, I am now formally requesting your arrest on behalf of the Bureau of Extrajudicial and Extrajudicial Administration."

[As expected of Director Yan! My wife is so handsome!!!]

[Yanju is the truly eternal and unchanging anchor point of the world]

[Is this old thief no longer even bothering to hide Lin Cai? That's strange.]

[Never mind her, she has her own plans.]

So why doesn't such a good Director Yan, a selfless savior, receive preferential treatment? This doesn't make sense.

On this side of the bookshelf, a chibi-style figure was perched on the head of what was clearly an odd version of Evil Forest. It sat cross-legged, its face full of envy.

"That's great..." a bubble floated above the little figure's head. "Director Yan is so great."

[Wait, I think I have a suspicion. Could Lin Cai really have been reborn? Was there no Director Yan in the world she was reborn into?]

[Outrageous, but plausible. It's just that this is the first time I've seen a protagonist reincarnate in an adventure manga for young readers (I have mixed feelings)]

Lin Cai stopped eavesdropping on Yan Ju and Guan Yunji's conversation and instead circled around from the back, quietly continuing her search along the bookshelves.

As she passed the third bookshelf on the right, she stopped, her fingertips brushing over the slightly dusty ancient books, stopping at one of them before pulling it out.

Ancient Gods and Authority

This is it.

Just as Lin Cai took the book down, a golden light suddenly shone from the direction of the desk not far away.

She hugged the book to her chest and immediately turned her head to look. In an instant, the entire library vanished, and the desk seemed to be placed within star trails.

Lin Cai stood beneath the nebula, looking up at it.

A huge chessboard was floating on the table. The chessboard was transparent, and the black pieces occupied half of the board, pressing forward relentlessly; the white pieces, on the other hand, played steadily, their fangs hidden.

Further up, above the starry sky, is a giant eye.

Lin Cai sneered.

A whisper came from the sky, "The name of the one who seeks destiny."

Yan Ju also sneered, "No one can predict my fate."

Do you want to know if you're destined for gold, silver, or a beating from Director Yan?

[My wife and Lin Cai are in perfect sync here, both letting out cold laughs. This god is really losing face, hahaha!]

[Think about that nameless god that Yanju killed before, no, it was the god who controlled money and the power of transactions.]

[Instead of praying to Buddha or gods, it's better to go directly to Director Yan.]

The voice in the air had changed from a whisper to a resounding roar: "The will of Heaven cannot be defied."

Yanju: "If it's truly unavoidable, how come you only have one eye?"

Golden Eyes: "You brat, how dare you!"

Director Yan: "Oh."

Lin Cai: "Pfft."

Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter!

[Listen to the sound of a god's heart breaking (doge emoji)]

There is no heartbreak, only impotent rage.

Jin Tong seemed genuinely enraged, and Lin Cai felt a light, dismissive glance from him. Then, her vision blurred, and when she opened her eyes again, she found herself standing in a tastefully elegant office.

Yan Ju stood before her, in a semi-transparent, soul-like form.

Lin Cai looked down at herself and discovered that she was also in a semi-transparent soul state. At the same time, she heard a whisper in her ear, "Want to see Director Yan's true past and personality?"

"I don't want to," Lin Cai said coldly.

There was no sound in my ears again.

'A useless god who cowers and dares not show his face, only daring to sow discord.' Lin Cai concluded in her heart.

Lin Cai's summary is so accurate and to the point; otherwise, how could she have called it a useless god?

Easy entry and favorable conditions are never a good thing. What kind of fortune teller forces you to buy something?

Yanju couldn't see her.

At this moment, Director Yan was intently looking at the photos displayed in the filing cabinet next to him.

Because of the angle of the shot, the glass of the filing cabinet was reflecting light, making it impossible to see the contents behind it. All that could be seen was the overwhelming sense of loss on Director Yan's face.

[I can smell the scent of a knife]
