Chapter 762 The Sage, the Moon! [1st Update]
The director of the Gene Institute finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the message had been successfully sent.
He had never heard of the names Qin Lingyu and Qin Lingyan before this letter was sent.
The information only shows that they are members of a hacker alliance.
The hacker alliance is a force that has only emerged in the last hundred years or so, and it is completely incomparable to research institutes that have stood for ten centuries.
Even if they killed the son of the leader of the Hacker Alliance, the Hacker Alliance would not dare to go against their Institute of Biological Genetics.
The director of the Gene Institute clicked his tongue and began to list the plans targeting the Engineering Institute and Director Norman.
This scene was witnessed by the two young men through a surveillance camera.
“Look at these ordinary people, they’re afraid of this little thing, and then they willingly let us drive them around.” The young man smiled. “Mortals can never stand up to sages.”
“That’s right, these people are all pawns for us.” Another young man nodded. “We don’t even need to send anyone out this time; we can take care of these two failures.”
They naturally also noticed that the returning sage's chariot was searching for them.
Therefore, they must be extra cautious in the near future.
"The master said that a cataclysmic disaster might strike early next year." The young man frowned. "And the twenty-two sages, as guardians of the world city and the earth, will have a premonition."
Another young man was taken aback: "So, the reincarnated sages will all return one after another?"
The young man shook his head: "I'm not sure. The adults only said that this feeling will guide them to the City of the World to resist this catastrophe of world destruction."
"Hiss—" another youth gasped, "Wouldn't that mean all twenty-two sages would be gathered together?"
“We can’t gather them all.” The young man laughed again. “So far, five sages have already fallen completely, so there will be at most seventeen.”
He took out five tarot cards from the box and laid them out in order of their numbers.
Fool, power, wheel of fortune, justice, temperance.
Five sages who have completely perished.
Another youth suddenly realized: "I remember now, power and justice were killed by adults a long time ago, and they can no longer be reincarnated."
“Isn’t that right?” the young man scoffed. “It’s laughable that the hermit is still looking for the two of them.”
Hermits are certainly easy to kill, but they are indeed too hard to find.
In this world, apart from the Wheel of Fortune, probably no one can find where the hermit is.

night.
Fu Yunshen came to the research institute to pick up Ying Zijin.
It was fortunate that Ying Zijing lived in a separate building in the dormitory area; otherwise, if the two of them had appeared together, the entire W network would have crashed instantly.
"Little...friend." Fu Yunshen lowered his head, his gaze meeting hers, his peach blossom eyes curving into a smile. "How were the experiment results?"
Ying Zijing yawned: "You startled my master."
"Dean Norman?" Fu Yunshen turned to the side and took her hand. "I heard he's practicing ancient martial arts?"
"Yes, he flies around just like you."
"..."
Fu Yun raised his eyebrows: "Hmm, then he needs to train for another two or three hundred years."
The two left the research institute and walked along the tree-lined path.
"Young Master Fu!"
A voice rang out, tinged with anxiety.
"Young Master Fu, please wait a moment!"
Fu Yunshen didn't even stop walking.
Ying Zijing turned her head and raised an eyebrow: "You have many admirers."
"Troublesome." Fu Yunshen narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly. "I'll have someone drag her away."
Ying Zijin raised her hand: "I'll do it."
Fu Yunshen paused: "Yaoyao?"
When Ningruo caught up, she saw this scene.
The girl shielded the man behind her, the posture was completely reversed, yet it was inexplicably warm and harmonious.
She bit her lip.
"I'm quite curious," Ying Zijing said, "Why do you like eyeing other people's boyfriends so much? Or do you think you can steal them away?"
These words were extremely hurtful and insulting, and Ningruo's face instantly turned pale: "You!"
She came to find Fu Yunshen primarily to ask him if he knew where Ling Yu was.
Secondly, I did indeed have this idea.
But she couldn't compare to the girl in front of her in any way.
"Yeah, he's not my boyfriend anymore." Fu Yunshen placed his hand on her head, his voice drawn out, and chuckled softly, "A couple of days ago, he became my fiancé."
Ying Zijing glanced at him: "I didn't receive the engagement ring, so I don't acknowledge it."
"We have a ring." Fu Yunshen pinched her cheek. "It's currently being designed."
After speaking, he dialed the number, his gaze sweeping over the area indifferently: "This person is prohibited from appearing in the central district, the research institute, and the area where the Lengel family resides."
With just one sentence, Ningruo's fate was sealed.
She will never be able to come into contact with the powerful and wealthy again in her life.
Ningruo felt cold all over and couldn't say a word.
Fu Yunshen glanced at the time: "Babyface invited us to dinner at the Hacker Alliance."
"Okay, let's go."
"Shall I carry you away?"
"It's too hot, let's hug again when we get back to an air-conditioned room."
Fu Yunshen looked up at the sky, his expression languid.
It seems his rival in love is God.
The heat made their daughter so energetic that she could walk around.

Hacker Alliance.
"Old man, I've brought you a guest." Qin Lingyan strolled in slowly. "Quickly, have someone come out to greet them. Make sure they don't drink any nutritional supplements, they want good food!"
Of course, instant noodles are the best-tasting food in the world.
"What old man?" The old alliance leader, upon hearing this, bristled and glared, "I'm your grandfather!"
"What a load of crap." Qin Lingyan said nonchalantly, "Your son sent his own genes to be used in experiments, and two extra embryos were created."
"You haven't given birth to me or raised me, yet you want such a smart and clever grandson of mine for nothing? You'd better go to heaven."
The old alliance leader was so angry he nearly died; his beard trembled as he yelled, "You brat!"
He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Where are the guests?"
"You can get ready first," Qin Lingyan waved his hand. "I'm going to play some games with my buddies. Call me when you're ready."
The old alliance leader wished he could kick Qin Lingyan out, but he was helpless: "Get out, get out, get out."
Qin Lingyan left leisurely.
On the other side...
Ying Zijing followed Qin Lingyu to her villa.
There were many empty soda cans piled up in the villa, and a few pieces of paper on the ground.
Ying Zijing bent down and picked it up: "What is this?"
Each sheet of paper has a circular mark on it.
She recognized it at a glance; it was the Moon card from the Tarot deck.
It represents unease.
"Huh? Oh." Qin Lingyu glanced at it and rubbed her head. "I must have drawn it while sleepwalking."
"Sleepwalking?" Ying Zijing put down the paper. "When did you develop this habit of sleepwalking?"
"Well, although the technology here is very advanced and everything is very convenient, I still don't get used to it." Qin Lingyu shrugged. "Once I get sick from the change in environment, I start sleepwalking."
Ying Zijin nodded: "Didn't you ask Mr. Yu to take a look?"
Qin Lingyu paused for a moment before saying, "Why would I look for him? I'm not even familiar with him."
Ying Zijin assumed that she was just cold-hearted and didn't like to interact with the opposite sex.
So he sat down and held out his hand: "Let me take a look."
Qin Lingyu was quite obedient this time: "What do you think?"
"Taking the pulse."
"..."
She thought Ying Zijin was going to use tarot cards to tell her fortune.
A dozen seconds later, Ying Zijing lowered her hand: "Your pulse is stable and your cardiopulmonary function is normal, but you do have many dreams, which is disrupting your sleep quality."
"The Moon tarot card represents your anxiety and confusion about the unknown, or perhaps—"
He paused there.
Ying Zijing looked up and carefully examined Qin Lingyu.
I've already started preparing to take her to the Sage's Courtyard in a little while.
"It seems so," Qin Lingyu thought for a moment, "but I didn't have any dreams."
You're sleepwalking.
"..."
"Take some calming medicine." Ying Zijin pushed a jade bottle over. "It was prepared a few days ago, and there's still some left."
Qin Lingyu accepted the gift and hooked her arm around the girl's shoulder: "By the way, Aying, you haven't filmed the music video you promised me yet."
"Hmm?" Ying Zijing remembered this incident and raised an eyebrow. "Now?"
"Yes, there are quite a few new scenic spots here, and I've already chosen them all," Qin Lingyu said. "I'll give my little fans a surprise when I get back."
The two headed towards the back of the hacker alliance's mountain.
Suddenly, their expressions hardened.
Although Qin Lingyu did not practice ancient martial arts, she was unable to use her internal energy to cover the surrounding environment and sense the movements in all directions in advance.
But her years of experience as a professional assassin made her sense danger approaching immediately.
She looked at the hairs standing on her arms and her expression changed.
She had only ever had this level of sixth sense when she first infiltrated the Manson Family to assassinate her enemy.
That time, she was seriously injured for six months and it took her two years to recover.
Could it be...?
Ying Zijing looked up, her eyes cold: "Let's go."
Good luck to all the students taking the CET-4 and CET-6 exams!
