Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

"Three granddaughters-in-law?"

Jing Ji stared wide-eyed in utter astonishment, even the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seemed to stretch out.

As an older generation of psychic, he was indeed unaware of the rumors circulating among the younger generation.

But one can be a little aware of the champion's blockheadedness; after all, past champions have made many laughable mistakes.

Moreover, according to the initial investigation by the Jing family's intelligence personnel into Li Yelai's past.

It's clear that Li Yelai is a staunchly straight man.
Despite his handsome appearance and attractiveness to many women, this action was truly...
When he was in school, a female classmate hinted that she wanted to visit his home, but he didn't understand.

A female classmate was walking home with him from school. When they were almost home, she said she was scared because no one was home and asked him to keep her company.

As a result, he invited Li Yunyan, and the three of them stared at each other blankly at home.

All these things made Jingji, as the maternal grandfather, somewhat worried.

According to the analysis of the Jing family's intelligence personnel.

Li Yelai is a guy who doesn't understand romance and love. Perhaps certain experiences or thoughts have given rise to a kind of inferiority complex in him, preventing him from considering the possibilities in this area.

Even after becoming a psionicist, things didn't improve.

It's important to understand that if an ordinary person becomes a psionicist and possesses extraordinary power, they will more or less feel joy and confidence.

That was the power that countless people craved, and it was because of this that the Church of the Embers grew stronger.

Those who became psychics believed that they were no longer mortals and therefore would inevitably ascend to higher positions and gain greater power.

Therefore, they wantonly plundered everything from their lower-class followers. Some acted recklessly, while others committed heinous crimes.

Within the Jing family, being a psychic is indeed more important than being a non-psychic. But it's nowhere near as extreme as the church's.

But Li Yelai doesn't seem to have that kind of confidence.

Even after becoming a psionicist, he seemed to have some kind of inferiority complex.

For example, he never admits to being a hero; to outsiders, that's just humility.

Those who have studied him closely will know that it wasn't modesty, but rather a genuine lack of self-confidence.
Otherwise, given his achievements, how could he not be called a hero?

Looking at his resume, his first encounter with a supernatural event was the killing of a skinner who had murdered several people.

When I woke up, I was faced with the ethereal creatures summoned by the evil ritual of the Church of the Embers. Despite my physical fear, I stepped forward.

During the second awakening, the 'Fantasy Band' incident occurs, and the forbidden objects that have gone out of control within the Black Prison are confronted, leading to the risky use of the Heart of Slaughter.

During his third awakening, he encountered the No. 79 Disaster Fog and repeatedly rescued civilians from the swarms of slaying insects. He even participated in the decapitation operation against the insect lord.

During the fourth awakening, he and Little Mad King entered the forbidden zone and killed the human traitor, Meiwu.

During the fifth awakening, participate in the Celestial Palace battlefield, leading the human army to fight against humanity's enemies.

At the sixth awakening, he suppressed Wanlong Lake, granting humanity a place for inheritance.

If these deeds do not deserve the title of hero, then who does?

What exactly was he feeling insecure about? What was he afraid of? This greatly puzzled the Jing family's investigators.

Otherwise, upon learning that Li Yelai had a companion doll, Jing Ji would have had to discuss with the authorities whether to arrange a medical team to check for any hidden illnesses, or to arrange a marriage with another psionic family.

Although the champions of all generations are stubborn, they don't resist this arrangement too much.

They are extremely powerful on the battlefield, but extremely dull and insensitive when it comes to emotions.

We have to give it a strong push.
So, when he heard that Li Yelai, the ninth-generation champion, had three wives...

Jingji's first reaction was disbelief. "Nonsense! How could these words be put together?"

He might not know about the other champions, but he had thoroughly investigated this grandson.

"Why would I lie to you, old man?" Jing Lin said in a low voice. "Why don't you just grab any one of them here and ask them? They all came to the banquet together. We can't just pretend we don't know, can we?"

Seeing Jing Lin's affirmative expression, Jing Ji fell into thought, followed by surprise and excitement!

"Then I really need to stuff a few more red envelopes in." He muttered to himself. He turned and left the banquet hall, intending to go to his collection room to see if there was anything he could show off.

He desperately wanted to ease tensions with Li Yelai and her siblings, and this might be an opportunity.

After Jing Ji quietly left, a member of the Jing family asked in a low voice, "Will this work? Brother Lin? Will Brother Ye find out about us?"

“Yeah, let’s not see a river of blood before we get covered in blood ourselves. Ye-ge’er is the champion.” Another member of the Jing family chimed in, “If he’s pushed too far, he’ll beat us up. Right now, no one in the Jing family can stop him.”

"Don't worry, Old Li doesn't know anything about these things," Jing Lin chuckled. He had known Li Ye for quite some time and was fairly familiar with his personality. Therefore, he was extremely looking forward to the bloodshed.

These two are really good brothers!
Meanwhile, Li Yelai was eating and chatting with Ma Hongyi and others at the dinner table.

Because of the emergence of the Land of Inheritance, various families have dispatched their elite forces to Wanlong Lake to prepare for the challenge.

Whatever the reward, it's all an enhancement. Especially the technological legacy within it.

The space technology of the Mingxia civilization was extremely advanced. The Bliss Church used this as a basis for research and developed a portable mobile space interlayer.

Now, this technology belongs to the government. Once this space technology is mass-produced, government psionicists and soldiers will be able to carry more supplies.

If we could acquire similar technology again, humanity would be truly blessed.

In addition, many powerful figures from distant metropolises will gather in Wanlong Lake.

Each family attaches great importance to it.

Ma Hongyi advanced to the sixth awakening level two months ago. Her strength is gradually improving, and although she has not yet reached the peak of the sixth awakening level, she plans to take on the challenge.

Mohe, on the other hand, had only recently entered the Sixth Sense stage. She wasn't there to take on a challenge, but rather to make connections with families from different giant cities.

Hong Lan, the head of the Hong family, had only just advanced to the fifth level of perception after her legs recovered.

There's no need for her, the head of the family, to personally contact the representatives of each family.

She came from the mining city to negotiate an arms order with the officials of Border City No. 3.

Congratulations to Li Yelai on becoming the champion.

Besides the official sources, she was also among the first families to realize that Li Yelai would become the champion and the first to invest in him.

The Holy Healing Potion and the Regretless Gem really helped Li Ye a lot.

Her personal visit confirms the close relationship between the human champion and the Hong family. It's a way of showcasing her influence.

During his casual conversation with them, Li Yelai learned that the spoils of war from the Immortal Palace battlefield were being gradually consumed.

In the battle with the Scaled Skeleton Civilization, humanity obtained a vast amount of Soul-Slaying Metal.

Although this metal is far less effective at suppressing the spiritual energy of those who have lost their spiritual power, it can still be effective against spiritual energy.

Bullets made from apotropaic metal are better able to tear apart the psychic barriers of low-awakened psychics.

If it is a high-grade apotropaic metal, combined with a specially made sniper rifle, it can even penetrate the psionic barrier directly.

It can be said that the emergence of this metal changed the way lower-level psionicists were targeted.

In the wilderness, a psionicist can thrive because their psionic barrier is strong enough to block most firearms.

Without the presence of thermal or plasma cannons, psionicists can ignore most gun attacks.

Unless subjected to prolonged concentrated fire, a single awakened psychic can wipe out an entire armed scavenger squad without taking any damage. With the Aversion Metal, even ordinary soldiers now have the capability to kill psychics.

Without the psionic barrier, low-level psionicists can only rely on their physical bodies or abilities to withstand bullets. Those below the fourth level of awareness simply cannot withstand them.

Today, the Soul-Destroying Metal is arming human soldiers and border guards.

Hong Lan's visit this time was to sign a corresponding order with City No. 3.

It is said that the first batch of Iron Guard armor made from the Soul-Slaying Metal has been delivered, and more Iron Guards will be armed with Soul-Slaying Metal in the future.

After that, humanity had a significant advantage when facing the legions of the forbidden zone.

Unfortunately, the refining of the Soul-Repelling Metal is still under research, and the output is very low.

The anti-spirit metal currently in use is actually extracted from the wreckage of those warships.

"At least there's some hope now." Li Yelai nodded. "We will eventually become stronger."

Ma Hongyi, Mo He, and the others stared at Li Yelai and the girl beside him with strange looks.

I have to say, Jing Lin knows how to handle things.

The doll and Little Mad King sat to Li Yelai's left, while Cheese and Li Yunyan sat to Li Yelai's right.

This allowed everyone to observe the changes in the expressions of the three people simultaneously.

The little mad king was expressionless, the doll was a little shy, and the cheese was extremely calm.

However, Jing Lin's calculation was slightly off.

There is a variable in this banquet.

That was Li Yunyan. She was extremely lively, or rather, socially anxious. A social terrorist.

She could chat with everyone present, and even though it was their first meeting, she could quickly build rapport.

So much so that whenever someone tried to stir up trouble, she could always change the subject.

With her around, even a fire can't be started.

This made Ma Hongyi and the others want to laugh. They placed a small bet on Jing Lin's betting game, just to watch the show.

I'm looking forward to what happens next.

Thinking of this, Mohe and Ma Hongyi asked Honglan in a low voice.

"Patriarch Honglan, why did you just gamble that there wouldn't be a bloodbath?" Mohe asked in a low voice.

"You're the only one who bet on it not happening. Is there some inside information?" Ma Hongyi asked.

"It's alright. I just understand their personalities well enough." Hong Lan smiled faintly, her gaze sweeping over the dolls and cheese opposite her.

In some ways, their ideas are similar.

One was worried about dying during the investigation, while the other was concerned about being possessed.
As for that little mad king, it's not clear yet, but considering her curse, it might be a misunderstanding.

This prompted Hong Lan, an expert in investment, to make her own judgment.

Soon, the people at Lezi's place showed anticipation.

Because Jing Ji, as an elder, entered the hall.

Behind him were three waiters.

They were carrying a mahogany tray with thick red envelopes on it, and even some precious gemstones.

Seeing this, everyone realized that they were about to give a red envelope to their granddaughter-in-law.
That's right, this is my first visit. I should give them a red envelope!
Jing Lin really does have some special skills!

The three waiters approached the three girls respectively.

Jing Ji then said with a kind expression, "I'm very happy that you could come. This is your first visit, so Grandpa has prepared red envelopes for you. Please accept them."

Everyone's spirits were high.

The people who enjoy themselves expect bloodshed to ensue.

Two sixth-level psychic beings and one fifth-level elite Night Scout. If they were to fight, the commotion would be considerable.

Those who were eating quickly hurriedly, afraid that the table would be overturned and all the delicious food would be wasted.

Those who are unaware of the situation are confused.

For example, Little Mad King was invited to Li Yelai's celebration dinner.

As an important teammate, she naturally responded.

But then, while we were eating, a gift was suddenly presented to us. What was going on?

Grandpa? Maternal grandfather? Why does he call himself maternal grandfather?
Little Mad King was adopted by the Jiang family at a young age and has no maternal grandfather. After all, most people are not close to her.

The only people who spoke of elders were the old mad king and the old woman at the high-level meeting.

Where did this maternal grandfather come from? Could it be that I am related to the Jing family by blood?
For once, a hint of confusion appeared on Little Mad King's usually cold and expressionless face.

The doll seemed a little confused and shy. Meeting the parents? Now? How could she have forgotten about that?
Why would Little Mad King also receive a red envelope?

Cheese gave Little Mad King a strange look.

Li Yelai looked completely bewildered: "Wait, you mean, they're also your granddaughters?"

This clearly shows that they haven't quite grasped the concept yet.

This surprised Jing Ji, who asked in confusion, "They aren't my grandchildren?"

Before she could finish her sentence, Li Yunyan, realizing what was happening, spoke up.

"Grandpa, you didn't prepare enough. What about mine? What about mine?"

That address of "Grandpa" really touched Jingji's heart, and tears welled up in his eyes instantly.

His regret and guilt towards his daughter made him eagerly anticipate being called "Grandpa".

Back then, when Jing Lian was taken away, he felt a surge of relief and secretly hindered and delayed the Jing family's pursuers. This was the only thing he could do at the time.

Over the years, he has been filled with regret, regretting why he wasn't braver back then.

So, almost instinctively, he replied, "Of course, I've prepared some for you too. But these three red envelopes are..."

"It's a thank-you gift, I understand. They all saved my brother's life." Li Yunyan smiled at the three girls and said, "Please accept it."

At this moment, Jing Ji also sensed something was wrong. He nodded decisively and said, "Yes, they are all Ye Ge'er's friends. This is a token of our gratitude for the care he received from you."

This sent chills down Jing Lin's spine. He was about to tear down the barrier and witness the long-awaited bloodshed.

As a result, Li Yunyan suddenly appeared and disrupted his plans.

This infuriated him.

At this moment, if someone were to shout something, perhaps it could really change something. But no one dares to.

Li Yunyan chuckled inwardly.

Cousin, oh cousin, I, Li Yunyan, have completed dozens of dating games over the years. I'm known online as a relationship guru!
You underestimate me. (End of Chapter)
