Ultimate: Fishing Through the Heavens, Starting with Five Enlightenment Templates

The heartbroken man fondly stroked the ring, his eyes filled with reluctance, yet he resolutely handed it to Lan Tianyu.

Before Lan Tianyu could even take it, Wang Dadong, who was standing to the side, couldn't contain his curiosity and leaned forward to examine the ring's patterns with wide eyes.

Although he was itching to touch it, he was very careful and dared not reach out to touch it.

After all, this was a thank-you gift from the heartbroken man to Teacher Lan.

"Can there really be such a magical ring in the world?"

Wang Yase also came closer, his face filled with disbelief.

"Heartbroken Man, what is this so-called weapons depot you're talking about?"

Ding Xiaoyu, however, keenly grasped another key piece of information and asked in a deep voice.

"In short, it's a place that specializes in selling weapons, and occasionally it also sells all sorts of strange and unusual things."

The heartbroken man pondered for a moment before patiently explaining.

Upon hearing that it was a place for arms trading, Wang Arthur's mind immediately started working.

Because his only spiritual weapon, the Stone Sword, was stolen by the Black Dragon a few days ago.

To be honest, he had considered taking it back from Black Dragon Hand.

However, considering the disparity in strength between the two sides, they wisely abandoned this idea.

It's better to just buy a new one than to lose your life.

Then he looked at the heartbroken man, his tone tinged with urgency:

“Heartbroken Man, where is this weapon always? I want to buy a new one.”

Upon hearing this, the heartbroken man gave an awkward, forced smile.

"Well... I'm really sorry, I can't tell you right now, because that's the rule they set over there."

"Those who want to go must be introduced by an acquaintance and the person in charge there must be informed."

"Only after passing their review can we find out the location of the weapons headquarters."

"If you want to buy weapons, you'll probably have to wait a few more days."

Wang Yase wasn't too disappointed when he heard this.

He can wait a few days.

Wang Dadong was not interested in weapons because he had the Dragon Pattern Shield.

What truly piqued his interest were the strange and unusual things that Duan Chang had mentioned.

If there are even rings that can hold things, could there be even more amazing and fun treasures out there?

He secretly resolved that when Wang Arthur went, he would definitely go with him to broaden his horizons.

You might find something even more interesting than this ring.

While the four were talking, Lan Tianyu had already accepted the ring.

After careful sensing, I could indeed see a regular space of ten cubic meters.

He glanced down at an inconspicuous pebble at his feet, then with a flick of his right hand, a gentle internal force instantly lifted it up and placed it in his palm.

Swish! !

The pebble vanished into thin air, lying peacefully within the ring's space.

Lan Tianyu instantly understood the principle: as long as the item is brought close to the ring, it can be stored in the space.

It is easy to operate and extremely practical.

This can be considered an unexpected surprise.

And some of the heartbroken man's previous actions can now be explained.

Even though there were no ingredients on the stall, they could still make braised pork intestine noodles.

It was obvious that all the ingredients were stored in a storage ring.

The storage ring in his hand was empty, making it easy to deduce that he had more than one storage ring.

But if someone is willing to give you one, it already shows great sincerity, so there's no need to pry.

He put the ring on his ring finger, and surprisingly, it fit him perfectly.

“Heartbroken Man, this ring is indeed useful to me, so I will accept it without being impolite.”

Lan Tianyu looked up at the other person, a rare smile appearing on his face.

After all, anyone would be in a good mood if they found a treasure for free.

"You are my savior, so it is only right that I reward you."

The heartbroken man waved his hands repeatedly, his expression calm.

After chatting casually for a few more minutes, the group got up to say goodbye and went home.

Lan Tianyu didn't linger. He hugged Xiao Ci's slender waist and disappeared from the stall in an instant.

……

apartment.

Lan Tianyu appeared at the entrance of the building with Xiao Ci.

He had promised to take Xiao Ci to meet Tian Xin, and naturally he wouldn't break his promise.

Just as I reached my front door, there was a soft click, and the door opened from the inside.

Wearing an apron and holding a spatula, Tian Xin was about to take out the trash.

Looking up, she saw Lan Tianyu and Xiao Ci beside him and was taken aback.

"Tianyu, who is this?"

Tian Xin's gaze fell on Xiao Ci, her eyes filled with gentle inquiry.

Lan Tianyu did not hide anything and explained Xiao Ci's situation simply and clearly.

"Her name is Xiao Ci, and she's a new student I just assigned to the Ultimate Class."

"Her only relative passed away this morning."

"It's not easy for her to be all alone right now. I hope you can take good care of her at school."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Xin nearly dropped the spatula in her hand.

Looking at Xiao Ci's swollen eyes, her delicate yet pale face, and her frail body.

My compassion overflowed instantly.

She immediately put down the spatula and garbage bag, squatted down, looked Xiao Ci in the eye, and spoke in a voice so gentle it could melt your heart.

"Oh, poor child..."

"From now on at school, I will be your family."

"If you encounter any difficulties, you must tell me, okay?"

She gently held Xiao Ci's cold little hand, her eyes filled with heartache and pity.

Xiao Ci felt the warmth and unreserved kindness emanating from Tian Xin's hand.

【068】Xiao Ci: Why does my heart hurt so much?

Sensing the kindness in Tian Xin's eyes, Xiao Ci's tense heartstrings seemed to be gently plucked.

Her nose suddenly stung, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she gave a slight bow.

"Um... thank you, thank you so much."

"Alright, let's go inside and talk about it."

Lan Tianyu smiled helplessly and pushed the two of them inside.

If I stand outside any longer, the neighbors will come out and watch the drama unfold.

"Wait, I haven't taken out my trash yet!"

Tian Xin struggled slightly, pointing to the garbage bag on the ground.

"give it to me!"

With a thought, Lan Tianyu instantly activated the spell [Azure].

The trash bag left on the ground disappeared instantly, landing steadily in the trash can below the apartment.

The spatula, however, returned to Tian Xin's hands.

After passing through the not-so-large entryway, the three entered the warm and tidy living room.

Xiao Ci was visiting someone else's home for the first time and seemed a little flustered. She stood by the sofa, hesitant to sit down, and timidly looked around.

Tian Xin immediately noticed her restraint and felt even more pity for her.

She took Xiao Ci's little hand and helped her sit on the soft sofa, then sat down next to her.

"Xiao Ci, don't be nervous, just make yourself at home."

Tian Xin's voice is as gentle as a feather.

"Come on, tell me, what do you usually like to do?"

She deliberately avoided heavy topics and instead started chatting about some lighthearted and fun things in life.

For example, funny stories from school, the neighbor's cute dog, the funny mistakes you made the first time you cooked...

Tian Xin's friendliness, like warm sunshine, gradually dispelled the unease and coldness in Xiao Ci's heart.

The tense body gradually relaxed.

Occasionally, she would answer a question or two in a low voice, and even her lips would slightly curl up when she heard Tian Xin's amusing stories.

Seeing that Xiao Ci's mood had improved, Tian Xin cautiously got down to business and asked about her basic situation.

When Tian Xin learned that Xiao Ci lived alone in a tenement building, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed instantly.

The rent for tenement buildings is indeed very cheap, but the quality of the tenants is mixed.

If you're unlucky, you might run into thugs who are tailing you.

"How can a young girl like you live alone in a place like that? It's too unsafe!"

Tian Xin stood up abruptly, her tone resolute.

She grabbed Xiao Ci's hand, her eyes filled with protectiveness.

"Xiao Ci, there's a spare bedroom in my house. You can live here from now on, and I'll take good care of you."

Xiao Ci was a little confused by the sudden invitation.

She instinctively wanted to refuse, not wanting to become a burden to others.

But as soon as she was about to refuse, her gaze involuntarily turned to Lan Tianyu, who was sitting to the side, with a hint of expectation that she herself was unaware of.

Tian Xin followed Xiao Ci's gaze and immediately misunderstood, thinking that Xiao Ci was worried that Lan Tianyu would disagree, so she quickly said:

“This is actually my house, you don’t need to care about his opinion, and he and I… well, we share a room.”

A blush rose on Tian Xin's pretty face, but her tone was very certain.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ci felt not joy, but rather a sudden clenching of her heart.

A wave of disappointment and bitterness washed over her, making it hard for her to breathe.

She instinctively gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, her fingertips turning white from the force.

Why do I feel so sad?

She was as innocent as a blank sheet of paper and couldn't understand it at all.

However, the desire to stay here and to see the blue sky every day was so strong.

This emotion instantly overwhelmed the inexplicable bitterness and the worries of being dependent on others.
