In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 279 Hunting
"Jinxin... is there anything you want?"

Xie Lingxin could guess that obtaining these two items would definitely not be easy.

Even if the Chen family is rich, it's useless; this thing is priceless and has no market.

But Chen Jinxin delivered it quietly.

Even with his thick skin, he felt a little embarrassed.

Chen Jinxin's eyes crinkled with laughter: "Brother Ling, I want you."

"...Be serious!"

Chen Jinxin smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Ling, I don't want anything, I just want... you to be safe and sound."

"...What do you mean by this? Why are you acting like we'll never see each other again? It's so simple! Just protect me closely!"

Xie Lingxin said shamelessly.

"Hahahaha!"

Chen Jinxin burst into laughter, "Great! I'll protect you from now on!"

"Oh, right!"

Xie Ling patted her shoulder with satisfaction.

Children can be taught!

It's shameless, but what can you do?
Despite his shamelessness, he was still planning to send her something.

As for money, the Chen family has plenty; I'm just a poor wretch compared to her.

In spiritual practice... if you don't have a diagram for reciting scriptures, you're not even worthy to carry her shoes.

It seems that all he has to offer is his so-called "expertise" in ancient scriptures and his skill in crafting magical treasures.

The former is meaningless to her, so the only option is to forge a special magic weapon for her.

Among the magical artifacts I had tried to refine before but failed to do so, there was one that was suitable.

Peacock Feather Umbrella: The umbrella canopy is made of five-colored peacock feathers from Lingnan, and the ribs are made of thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood from Zhongnan Mountain. It repels all poisons and is protected by a thousand feathers.

He had already collected the five-colored peacock feathers of Lingnan during the Great Zhou Dynasty; what he lacked was a thousand-year-old lightning-struck tree from Zhongnan Mountain.

This is something he couldn't find even in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Because within the Great Zhou territory, Zhongnan Mountain is a Taoist paradise, where many "immortals" are said to cultivate in seclusion.

Lü Chunyang attained enlightenment there.

As King Jing of Zhou, he would not dare to go to such a place.

Lightning-struck wood is naturally best from the Zhongnan Mountains, but other types are acceptable.

You should be able to find it in the federal government.

However, this means that the Iron Strategy Nether Bell that I wanted to refine will have to be postponed.

"Brother Ling, are you going to work?"

Xie Lingxin was packing her things while making plans, and Chen Jinxin was watching from the side when she suddenly spoke.

"Yeah, what else? Do you want to take care of me?"

Chen Jinxin smiled and said, "Haha, that's not impossible. How about you come with me to the Central Star, Brother Ling?"

Xie Lingxin paused, "Huh? You're going to the Central Star?"

Chen Jinxin's eyes flickered: "No, I meant later. My cultivation is about to hit a bottleneck, and my teacher wants me to go back and prepare to break through to the sixth level."

"!"

"You're about to break through?"

Xie Lingxin said she could not accept it.

I know you're a prodigy, but you can't go this far!

I have my pride too!

Chen Jinxin sat on the sofa, resting her chin on her hands: "Not yet, but... it should be soon, in the next few months."

This isn't something that should be said casually, but in front of Xie Lingxin, she could be completely uninhibited.

"Oh fine."

Xie Lingxin did not speak again.

That was a bit of a blow.

He has a cheat code, and he even lived an extra lifetime in the Great Zhou Domain, yet his speed is still like this...

Why?
"Brother Ling, let me go with you."

Just as Xie Lingxin was about to leave, Chen Jinxin said something else.

"?"

"I'm going to work, what are you going there for?"

"Hey, let's do it together!"

Xie Lingxin watched as she tugged at the hem of her clothes.

Looking back on her behavior this morning, it was all rather strange.

Lenovo's words of advice to him last night.

He nodded and said, "Go if you want to."

"Wangcai, let's go!"

He also called Wangcai over.

With Wen Yifu's reminder and Chen Jinxin's unusual behavior, he had to be on guard.

We can't really rely on women for protection, can we?

"Ow!"

Wangcai ran out, leaped up with a whoosh, quickly shrank, and burrowed into Xie Lingxin's forehead.

……

The two went to the Environmental Protection Bureau together.

The daughter of the Chen family of Leizhou was also honored as "the best in the world".

As a native of Leizhou, there are naturally few people who don't know Chen Jinxin.

Wherever she goes, she is the brightest focus.

Xie Lingxin and she arrived together early in the morning, attracting even more attention and sparking much speculation.

Strange gazes were cast at the two of them, and some people kept winking at Xie Lingxin.

Some people glared at him, their eyes turning red!

Needless to say, Xie Lingxin's vanity was greatly satisfied.

Chen Jinxin, however, seemed oblivious to everyone else, simply following Xie Lingxin closely and paying no attention to the stares of others.

She had long been used to even more intense and fervent gazes than these.

"Can I take her in?"

The sanitation worker on duty at the entrance.

The sanitation worker on duty glanced at Chen Jinxin, a hint of amazement flashing across his face. He stammered, "Please register me, it won't take too long..."

Chen Jinxin had already picked up the registration book next to her.

Xie Lingxin didn't know what she wanted to do there, so she had no choice but to lead her inside.

"Xie Lingxin!"

As he walked down the office corridor, a hand suddenly reached out and pulled him away.

"Four-Eyes, what do you want to do to me?!"

Su Qingli glared at him, then glanced at Chen Jinxin behind him and nodded. She tugged at Xie Lingxin: "Be careful later."

"What do you mean?"

"The new director has arrived!"

"The new director?"

"Hey? Xie Lingxin's here? Come in, come in!"

Before they could exchange more than two words, a head popped out from the conference room at the end of the corridor.

He still recognized him.

Jin Luochuan!
Director of the Donghai City Branch.

"He also brought a master, as well as several from Zhanzhou and Maozhou. Director Dai is almost driven crazy by them."

Su Qingli gave him a wink, whispered something, and then hurriedly left.

Xie Lingxin's eyes flickered.

coming.

I really don't want to wait even a little bit.

Xie Lingxin turned around: "You knew all along?"

Chen Jinxin reached out and took his arm: "It's okay, Brother Ling, I will protect you."

"..."

What else could he say?
So I had no choice but to go inside.

Chen Jinxin still held his arm.

Upon entering the conference room, there were already seven or eight people inside.

Seeing this, they were all stunned, and then their eyes flickered as they looked at the two holding hands, their expressions clearly not good.

How could Chen Jinxin and the others not recognize her?
The Chen family of Leizhou was feared even by major clans in Donghai, Zhanzhou, and Maozhou.

Especially this Chen family heiress, what truly makes people wary is not her family background.

Rather, it was the National Central University behind her.

That was a truly despairing behemoth.

How much support can a prodigy who can be called "the best in the world" get in the Central University?

At least on Far East Star, nobody dares to gamble.

Xie Lingxin observed the changes in the expressions of everyone here. Apart from Fatty Orange, it was likely that everyone else here was originally playing the role of a group of hunters waiting for their prey to fall into their nets.

They're just waiting to hunt him down.

The appearance of Chen Jinxin is a variable.

She was using this method to warn others.

"Haha, Little Xie is here!"

Jin Luochuan quickly came to his senses and burst into laughter: "Come, come, our bureau's chief strategist has arrived, have a seat!"

"This must be Miss Chen, the daughter of the Chen family."

"Oh my, I didn't expect our bureau's chief accountant to be so close to Miss Chen!"

"Looking at them together, the two of you are truly a match made in heaven, a perfect couple!"

"Hahaha!"

The others exchanged glances and then gave a few perfunctory laughs.

"Uncles and elders, please don't mind me. I'm just curious about where he works and wanted to come along to take a look. I hope you won't mind?"

Chen Jinxin smiled sweetly at everyone.

Xie Lingxin glanced at her.

That's pretty good.

"of course not!"

Jin Luochuan chuckled.

"Well, Xiao Xie, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon after we parted ways in Donghai City!"

"Back in Donghai, I thought you were a promising talent, but I never imagined that you and I had been hiding something all along."

"If you had told me earlier, I definitely wouldn't have let you come back!"

Jin Luochuan said with a look of regret and frustration.

It's seven parts acting, but three parts truth.

He only received more comprehensive information about Xie Lingxin after he was reappointed.

At 17, a master of six spiritual disciplines…

The youngest registered monk...

The son of a great Confucian scholar!

Each of these identities is astonishing.

Therefore, today's matter is especially important.

This person cannot stay in Leizhou!

At least, he must leave before everything settles down!

Jin Luochuan's act went unnoticed by Xie Lingxin, who was looking around.

Finally, it landed on a burly man standing next to Jin Luochuan.

This person... is so strong!
The people in this conference room are all very capable; it's safe to say they are all top figures from the environmental protection bureaus of their respective cities.

But he could still sense that none of them had reached the title level.

Only this big man, standing there, was like a blazing furnace, the stone even like a burning mountain.

My own mental strength can't even get close enough.

There was also a faint, pungent smell of iron and blood mixed together.

This is definitely a powerful expert who has surpassed the sixth level.

Jin Luochuan, receiving no response, felt a little awkward: "Xiao Xie, let me introduce you. These are all new colleagues. This is..."

Xie Lingxin interrupted directly, saying, "Enough with the nonsense, let me say something first."

"boom!"

"What an arrogant boy!"

Someone slammed their fist on the table in anger.

Jin Luochuan remained expressionless, waved his hand, and smiled, "Xiao Xie, you go ahead."

"Director, I only acknowledge Director Dai. As for the others, they don't need to put on airs in front of me. I... don't acknowledge them."

Xie Lingxin completely ignored him, giving him an "what can you do about it?" look. She glanced at everyone present and finally settled her gaze on Jin Luochuan.

Sitting in the corner, Dai Yang was a little excited. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

A strange light flashed in Jin Luochuan's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "Haha, let's not talk about this for now!"

"I invited you here today, Xiao Xie, because there's something important I need your help with."

He waved his hand, and someone came over with a file folder.

Jin Luochuan took it and handed it over: "An unusual mental fluctuation has been detected in the East China Sea bay. If I'm not mistaken, it should be caused by the domain realm."

“We have found the relevant ancient scriptures, but… as you know, there are very few scripture masters in this area, and it’s really impossible to find anyone who can decipher this ancient scripture…”
