Chapter 63: Toolman Yian, can you recommend me...
The first year of Reiki Recovery, Saturday night, July 5, at the entrance of Jinwuyuan.
Zuo Langning stood at the door, hesitating to move forward.
She replayed in her mind the words she would say in front of Phoenix, hoping to kill him with one blow and get the whole truth out of him.
"Don't be nervous." Yue Jingting, who is more experienced, consoled her earnestly, "The worst that can happen is that you will be kicked out again."
Zuo Langning glanced at him speechlessly and took the lead to knock on the door.
The young girl opened the door with a smile: "I have met the Zuoge Master and the Yue Supervisor. Please follow me."
The route seemed unfamiliar, so Yue Jingting couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to the teahouse?"
Su Yunyao waved his hands: "Mingqi-kun asked me to take you to the backyard."
When Zuo Langning entered Jinwu Garden for the first time, she looked around slightly, admiring the beautiful scenery around her. After looking around, her eyes finally fell on the thing in the little girl's arms.
...What is "General Theory of Array Law"?
The first year of the Reiki Resurrection, Saturday night, July 5, Jinwuyuan Backyard.
"...Wen Qingsheng, you like to use this move very much - could you please move forward a little, Master Zuo - yes, this move can actually be countered like this, did you see it?"
"You can't just break a move for the sake of breaking it. You have to think about what your opponent will do after breaking it and what you should do. Gu Minghui's big problem is that he relies too much on instant reactions and doesn't take the initiative to read and judge the enemy's intentions..."
"Yue prison, do you think I understand this correctly... Yue prison?"
Yue Jingting suddenly came back to his senses, looked down at the note paper Yan Xiaoling handed over, and analyzed the formation she had just revised.
The backyard was now divided into two distinct groups. On one side, Ning Changkong and Zuo Langning were demonstrating with a sword each, while Gu Minghui and Wen Qingsheng were sitting below watching. On the other side, Yue Jingting was explaining the formation to Su Yunyao and Yan Xiaoling, and giving them a few random questions for testing.
Phoenix really didn't treat them as guests, and used them as tools without any hesitation.
Although there was a suspicion that Ning Changkong was taking his anger out on the two of them because he was forced to take care of the three little ones, Yue Jingting was happy that he was willing to throw a tantrum like this - being able to lose temper awkwardly was also a sign of a close relationship.
However, Yue Jingting turned the ballpoint pen in his hand.
Su Yunyao carefully observed his expression and tentatively said, "Master Zuo and the teacher are both very good at swordsmanship."
Yue Jingting replied subconsciously: "Yes."
The erudition of "Bomb Brother" can be explained by the talent of his junior brother, but what about his superb swordsmanship and skills?
He persuaded Director Chi to send Gu Minghui and others to Jinwuyuan. Is he really one step closer to the truth?
Su Yunyao rested his chin on his hand, thinking absentmindedly: The Yue Prison would report to Jinwuyuan on time every week, pay tribute... no, give away snacks, and act as a riddle teller with the teacher. In addition to asking questions to the teacher, he must have other purposes.
What is her purpose? If she can find out the truth by herself, will the teacher recognize her ability as an intelligence officer?
Yue Jingting began to explain the knowledge points seriously, and Su Yunyao immediately perked up and listened carefully.
On the other side, Wen Qingsheng and Gu Minghui were trying hard to digest what they had just heard, and asked a few questions from time to time - mainly Gu Minghui, as Wen Qingsheng was as tongue-tied as his master.
Ning Changkong also knew his personality, so he took the initiative to ask him a few questions to make sure both of them understood well, and then he stopped to drink some tea to moisten his throat.
He had just swallowed a mouthful of tea when Zuo Langning came up to him and said, "Senior Ning."
What? I've been a teaching aid for him for almost two hours, and you're still thinking of asking him if he's Lin Jinsong? Ning Changkong quickly put down his teacup and began to think: "Master Zuo."
"Senior Ning, what you just showed me is very inspiring to me." Zuo Langning couldn't wait to speak, his hand already on the hilt of the sword at his waist, "When do you have time, let's have a serious practice?"
When the two of them were demonstrating sword moves just now, they still used internal energy in some places and exchanged a few moves - Ning Changkong also took the opportunity to explore Zuo Langning's strength and weakness.
As expected of her. Ning Changkong was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "I am not an expert in swordsmanship, so I am afraid I can't do anything to help Master Zuo."
Zuo Langning remained unmoved: "It is precisely because I am not an expert in this field that I can have a unique understanding of swordsmanship."
She pulled the sword out a little: "If you have time, why don't we do it now--"
"Don't do that." Ning Changkong raised his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Your apprentice is watching right there, and you want me to teach you swordsmanship right there?"
"A teacher doesn't have to be more virtuous than his students, not to mention that you are Xiao Wen's other teacher." Zuo Langning said seriously, "I don't think he will mind."
Ning Changkong had no choice but to save the country in a roundabout way. He turned around and called Yue Jingting: "It's getting late. Please go to the front and have some tea and then go back."
Zuo Langning had no choice but to give up, and the group went to the teahouse to rest. Ning Changkong very naturally opened the "souvenirs" brought by Yue Jingting and gave two pieces to each of the four children who were practicing diligently.
Yue Jingting rushed to sit down opposite Ning Changkong and said seriously, "I have new material for my thesis."
Ning Changkong was too lazy to pay attention to him and perfunctorily picked up a snack and pushed it in front of him.
Yue Jingting used a soundproofing spell to ensure that what he said could not be heard by others: "You often recommend and quote books from Skynet Mall in the forum. I have read them all."
No matter how much I give you food, you can't stop your mouth? Ning Changkong, who was numb from being exposed, thought so.
Yue Jingting continued, "From the illustrations to the writing ideas, those books are very much in your style."
In fact, there are several books written by the Tiangong Technology Research Center, and the books written entirely by Ning Changkong do not account for the majority. He replied calmly: "Oh."
"Based on this alone, the evidence is not sufficient." Yue Jingting looked at him directly and said frankly, "More importantly, today I pointed out a loophole in the standard answer. Miss Su's reaction... is very intriguing."
Ning Changkong turned his head to look at Su Yunyao who was sitting at the table with the children. The guilty little fox put his hands together and made a gesture of apology.
...Forget it, the girl is still young and lacks experience.
Ning Changkong put down his teacup and said, "Miss Chu and I are of the same generation. We occasionally chat about the old days of our elders in the mythological era. She asked me to write a few books. It's just a small matter, so there's no reason for me not to help."
This implies that his help in writing books and even his frequent postings and answers on forums were all due to his personal relationship with Qingniao.
It is also necessary to transcend Jingting's thoughts: It is normal for Phoenix and Blue Bird to be familiar with each other, but what about your junior brother?
Yue Jingting just wanted to use this broken ribbon to get some information out, but he didn't expect to be outmaneuvered. He was confused for a moment.
"Go back." Ning Changkong stood up to see the guests off. He glanced at Yan Xiaoling who was drinking tea because of the sweetness and smiled helplessly, "Remember to buy some food that the children like next time."
The first year of the Reiki revival, Saturday night, July 5, at the Tiangong Technology Headquarters.
Jing Mo (Ling Zhuan Academy - Senior Brother - Yue Jingting): Yi'an, can you introduce Miss Qingniao to me? I have a question I want to ask her.
Jing Mo (Senior Brother Yue Jingting from Lingzhuan Academy): Also, what snacks does your sister like to eat?
What's wrong with him? Yan Yian put down her phone in confusion. Chu Qingge, who was monitoring her chat history, raised her head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yan Yian's capacitive pen spun around his fingertips: "My senior brother said he wanted to meet Teacher Chu and ask him some questions."
Jiang Yunxiao stood beside the whiteboard, capped the whiteboard marker in his hand, and chatted, "Why didn't he just ask you?"
Asking Yan Yian and Chu Qingge the same professional questions is basically the same, and Yan Yian is a little more familiar with him.
Yan Yian recalled Yue Jingting's unusual behavior in recent days and thought of a possibility: "Teacher Chu, what is the relationship between Teacher Ning and my senior brother?"
It seemed like he was thinking about how to buy a gift for Phoenix.
Chu Qingge sighed. The information that the three protagonists were training with Phoenix during the summer vacation was not made public. Yan Yian only knew that Yan Xiaoling planned to stay in Longyuan Academy for the summer vacation and go home occasionally.
Otherwise, Yan Yian would probably become suspicious, and if Yue Jingting told him about Li Bo's information...it would become increasingly difficult to keep the lie.
But there is still hope. "He has cooperated with Changkong a lot, and maybe he saw that his formation skills were not ordinary, so he contacted me." Chu Qingge said ambiguously.
Jiang Yunxiao suddenly realized: "It's the confidential project that asked us to borrow the automatic aura injection system."
It was the "Shen Ge". Chu Qingge nodded slightly and said to Yan Yian: "Give him my contact information and I will explain it."
Yan Yian heaved a sigh of relief: "My senior brother...is a bit stubborn, please don't mind, teachers."
We all understand this very well. Chu Qingge thought so, ignoring Ning Changkong's irritable muttering on the other side of the mind connection.
Jiang Yunxiao teased, "When will Teacher Ning be free to come to a meeting? This is an important business meeting that concerns the future of Tiangong Technology."
He tapped on the whiteboard, on which were written words like "technology authorization" and "joint venture factory."
The three of them were holding a decision-making meeting to discuss how to cooperate with the demon tribe on the production of spirit stones.
It's still the same old saying: if we measure it purely from the perspective of business interests, it is undoubtedly the most profitable to hold on to patent rights and make money through monopoly.
But when Tiangong Technology made its fortune by industrializing talismans, it relied on playing both sides of the human and demon races to gain a firm foothold. The reputation of "a friendly enterprise between humans and demons" was too loud and too important, so they had to consider giving profits to the demon race.
What's more, the mass production of spirit stones would cause a severe blow to the order of the demon clan. The price offered by the urgent demon clan Juying Pavilion was tempting enough, and the three of them were also looking forward to a stable demon clan market.
"I don't really understand this." Yan Yian analyzed while spinning his pen. "The production of spiritual products, especially mass production, requires spiritual stones for energy. I understand this. But why do the demons regard spiritual stones as the cornerstone of their rule?"
She wondered, "Could it be that before the emergence of spiritual stone mining technology, no one practiced cultivation? Wouldn't it be possible to practice cultivation simply by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?"
Chu Qingge smiled and said, "The difficulty of cultivation for humans and monsters is different. Monsters are less efficient in absorbing spiritual energy from the air than human practitioners."
This is why most demons transform into human form and continue their cultivation in human form.
The difficulty in absorbing spiritual energy caused the demon clan to form a power structure centered around the spirit stone mines.
"Speaking of this, I heard some news recently." Jiang Yunxiao crossed his arms and said mysteriously, "Have you been to Penglai recently?"
Chu Qingge interrupted: "I don't have it, but Feng Huang does."
Jiang Yunxiao raised his finger to his lips and said, "Don't say anything yet—Teacher Ning must know everything."
Of course, it was clear that many of the cooperation drafts that Juying Pavilion sent to Tiangong Technology were written by Fenghuang. Next time when he went to Penglai to sign the formal contract, he would probably be there too.
Yan Yian shook his head: "The company is now in the real world. I haven't been to Penglai for a long time."
Jiang Yunxiao smiled and said, "I have some connections in the research department of the Alien Bureau. They have been testing the concentration of spiritual energy in the world."
"——In the past six months, the concentration of spiritual energy in the real world has been rising sharply. It is predicted that it will surpass the demiplanes headed by Hourai in the second half of the year."
