"Can't the system detect it either?"
The little sprite shook its head: "No, Master. The system can only sense things that exist in this world, not things that exist outside of this world."
Upon hearing this, Shen Lang fell into deep thought, feeling as if he couldn't control how things were going.
Why did spiritual energy also revive after the appearance of alien races?
What is the connection between these two things?
Furthermore, what exactly is hidden behind the revival of spiritual energy?
The troublemakers who appeared out of nowhere left him with no way of investigating and no clue whatsoever.
According to Ying Zheng, no one else besides himself and the four generals knew about the existence of the alien race.
So how did the troublemakers learn about the existence of the alien race?
Shen Lang had no answers to any of these questions; Luo Fei's memories and understanding were too limited.
The little elf noticed Shen Lang's distress and spoke up to soothe his restless heart: "Master, you don't need to worry. With the system around, you just need to strengthen yourself first, and then any problem will be solved."
Shen Lang nodded solemnly; this was all he could do now.
He then walked out of the seclusion room. It was already late, and he instructed Dongxue, who was guarding the door, to bring Lin Shaoxiong in.
As the door slowly opened, Lin Shaoxiong suddenly felt a sense of relief.
Dongxue looked at Lin Shaoxiong and said in an icy tone, "Patriarch Lin, the young master wants to see you."
"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Lin Shaoxiong respectfully approached Dongxue and followed her into the room.
The two middle-aged men, who were being held captive by Chuncao, looked at Dongxue angrily and said, "We are the Lin family head's bodyguards, let us go."
"Young Master said that White Cloud Manor does not welcome scoundrels." Dongxue glanced coldly at the two of them, then closed the door.
In the reception room of Baiyun Manor, Lin Shaoxiong finally met the legendary 'Young Master Shen'.
This young man in front of him made a phone call that caused Jinxiu Yunju to close down.
It's important to know that the VIP members of Jinxiu Yunju are all political and business leaders from S Province.
"So you are Lin Shaoxiong, the head of the Lin family and chairman of the Sunrise Group?"
Lin Shaoxiong nodded and bowed, saying, "Yes, it is I."
"What brings you to see me?" Shen Lang asked.
"Yes...yes..." Lin Shaoxiong lowered his head, sweat dripping onto the sheepskin carpet, too nervous to utter a complete sentence.
Shen Lang investigated Lin Shaoxiong's information.
Client: Lin Shaoxiong
Identity: Head of the Lin family in X city, Chairman of the Sunrise Group
Inner desire: To submit to the Canglang Group and free the Lin family from its control.
Synopsis: Lin Shaoxiong, head of the Lin family in X City, has a daughter, Lin Yuying, who was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, who was wiped out in the massacre. After the Zhao family's demise, Lin Shaoxiong lives in constant fear, torn between submission and resistance.
Three months ago, the ancient martial arts sect, the Yihun Sect, approached Lin Shaoxiong. After ruthlessly killing the Lin family's guards, they demanded that the Lin family and the Xuri Group submit to them in exchange for protecting the Lin family and avenging Lin Yuying. They also poured all of the Lin family's connections and resources into building the Jinxiu Yunju.
After Jinxiu Yunju was sealed off, Hun Yitian, the young sect leader of the Yihun Sect, investigated the truth and sent Lin Shaoxiong with the people of the Yihun Sect to Baiyun Manor to seek a way to reconcile. After witnessing the strength of Baiyun Manor, Lin Shaoxiong developed rebellious thoughts.
Lin Shaoxiong now wants to bring his entire family under the control of Baiyun Manor in exchange for the Lin family's freedom.
After reading Lin Shaoxiong's profile, Shen Lang leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and asked with a puzzled tone, "Patriarch Lin, why do you conflate the demise of the Zhao family and Shanhe Group with Canglang Group? Is it because I wasn't clean enough that you found clues? Or do you think that associating with a bunch of scoundrels hiding in the shadows will allow you to resist Canglang's overwhelming power?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Shaoxiong immediately collapsed to his knees, weeping bitterly, and said, "Young Master Shen, I had no such intention, no such intention at all! It was all those people who came to me and threatened me with the lives of my family. I had no choice but to do this."
"Oh, I see." Shen Lang looked enlightened and then asked, "So, what brings Patriarch Lin to my White Cloud Manor?"
"I beg... I beg Young Master Shen to save my entire Lin family. I am willing to lead my entire Lin family to submit to Young Master Shen." Lin Shaoxiong knelt on the ground, revealing his true intentions.
Shen Lang chuckled, "Submit to me? Your Lin family doesn't even deserve that!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Shaoxiong instantly shuddered.
Over the past three months, under the command of a mysterious figure, the Sunrise Group has launched several attacks on the Canglang Group, but the Canglang Group has been like a fortress, failing to inflict any damage on the opponent.
This also made him fully realize the power of the Canglang Group, which was definitely not something that a lone boat like the Xuri Group could touch.
For a moment, he didn't know how to answer.
"Leave the Sunrise Group behind, and I can guarantee the Lin family's safe departure from S Province."
Although Shen Lang looked down on Lin Shaoxiong, a traitor, the Xuri Group had some strength under the management of the Lin family for generations.
Diamond Mansion Club, the number one entertainment venue in S Province, has been run by the Lin family for decades. Its clientele ranges from government officials to business and political figures, and it has a very important network of connections in S Province.
Although Shen Lang doesn't need these connections, Xia Bingyan does. With these connections, the path for Canglang Group to acquire S Province will definitely be much easier, and Xia Bingyan's work will be much more relaxed.
"Young Master Shen, could you please allow our Lin family to stay in S Province?" Lin Shaoxiong asked cautiously, lying on the ground.
The Lin family's ancestors were tomb raiders living in the mountains of Sichuan. After the establishment of the new dynasty, the Lin family began to clean up their act and used the antiques stolen from the tombs by their ancestors to exchange for a lot of wealth with foreigners. After leaving their hometown, they came to X City and started doing business.
If Lin Shaoxiong were to return to his ancestral home now, the entire Lin family would have to return to their ancestral business and resume their illegal activities.
Shen Lang shook his head and said, "Patriarch Lin, this is the only path you can take. If you retreat to Shu, your Lin family will still have a chance to survive; otherwise, the Zhao family will be the same fate as your Lin family."
Shen Lang made no attempt to conceal his threat, and he didn't want to waste words with this traitor.
Just then, Dongxue poured Shen Lang a cup of tea and brought it over. Shen Lang took the teacup and slowly said, "I'll give you a cup of tea's worth of time to think it over. If you haven't made up your mind by then, I'll personally escort you to the Lin family."
These words were undoubtedly an ultimatum to Lin Shaoxiong.
Under Shen Lang's strong pressure, Lin Shaoxiong gave in.
He knew that he had no choice but to compromise now, otherwise the Zhao family would become a cautionary tale for the Lin family.
As the teacup was placed on the table, Lin Shaoxiong stated his choice: "The Lin family is willing to obey Young Master Shen's arrangements and withdraw from S Province from now on, never to set foot there again. We hope that Young Master Shen will protect the Lin family."
