Why did you provoke me?

Secretary Wu led Yu Meng to another room. "Teacher Yu, please stay here for now." Then she asked, "Are you sure you're not hurt?"

Yu Meng shook her head, "Really not."

"Then please rest first, and call me if you need anything." Secretary Wu left the room.

Yu Meng sat in the chair and looked at her right foot. It was the same foot; how had it gotten into such a mess this time?

When she first went into seclusion, she reviewed her lines and found that they had reached their peak. It would be difficult to advance to the next level in a short time.

So she took out the small bell that Xiao Hong, the second dean, had given her, but after opening it, she didn't find anything special. The only problem was that the woven lines were very messy, not like those of a human, and there were even lines that had been peeled off from aliens mixed in. She carefully sensed each one again, and found that some of them even contained those Gu worms, and they were quite large.

She didn't know whether Xiao Hong knew that the lines had been altered when she gave her this.

Was it intentional or unintentional?

She didn't deal with the Gu worms; she simply had the Overlord absorb most of the energy from the lines, thus controlling the growth of the Gu worms.

Finally, she wove the lines into the shape of a bell, only changing the original order. She didn't think much of it; it was just a habit she had. She wouldn't make a second item in the same order.

After finishing all that, she planned to leave the country, but then she thought about how she would have to deal with piles of documents once she got out, so she gave up the idea.

Then he turned his gaze to his right foot.

The vibration waves from her right foot had always been planar, but this time she had a sudden idea to try to see if they could be three-dimensional.

When practicing upward force, she lifted her toes and succeeded immediately.

She took the roof into consideration and controlled her strength during each practice session. Therefore, although her strength did touch the roof a few times, nothing serious happened.

When she went down, she didn't think too much about it; she just wanted to test it from all angles to see what the effect would be.

I tried many times, but the force didn't move downwards. Logically, the force of stomping should be downwards, but its motion wave just doesn't ripple downwards.

Yu Meng looked at her feet with a worried expression. There are only a few parts on a foot, and she had tried them all without any reaction. There was nothing she could do.

The accident happened when she got out of bed. Her left shoe was a little far away, so she tiptoed on her right foot and jumped. In that one jump, the floor broke.

She found a way to direct the energy wave downwards, but it was too damaging to the floor. She couldn't control the force well, the floor shattered, but the energy wave still didn't travel.

The first foot of depth was the hardest; she spent almost every day and night figuring it out. Once she got the result, she became addicted, wanting to go deeper and deeper, because there were no restrictions and she didn't think it would have any negative impact.

Under these circumstances, the ripples spread outwards from the ground until moonlight shone through the cracks in the room, and Yu Meng realized with a start that she seemed to have gotten into trouble.

That's why she was standing on the roof; the house collapsed, but she was unharmed! The only question is whether only this section will collapse, or if other houses will too. After all, she couldn't control the direction of the underground energy waves.

Yu Meng had no intention of revealing everything. If the house collapsed, it was because the house wasn't built properly. As for the section that collapsed, she hadn't been there, so it had nothing to do with her.

Sure enough, before noon, Secretary Wu's message came: "The houses over there have developed cracks, and for safety reasons, they all have to be demolished and rebuilt."

Yu Meng calmly agreed without asking why.

When Nangong Tianshou learned of this, he came to see for himself. "This is truly a strange thing. An earthquake couldn't possibly only affect this one area, could it?"

Secretary Wu frowned. "I asked around in other places, and there was no tremor at all. It doesn't feel like an earthquake."

"Is it the enemy causing trouble?" Nangong Tianshou guessed.

"How is that possible? What's the point of destroying a few houses?"

"Then tell me, why did all the houses in this area collapse?" Nangong Tianshou circled the collapsed houses.

Unable to answer, Secretary Wu could only change the subject, "Teacher Yu has emerged from seclusion, won't you go and see her?"

Nangong Tianshou stopped in his tracks. "She's injured?"

"No, not at all?"

"If you're not injured, what should I go see?"

Well, this makes it impossible to have a proper conversation. Secretary Wu shut his mouth.

"Didn't she ask you to investigate what happened?" Nangong Tianshou took the initiative to start a conversation.

"They didn't say that, they just said that if it collapsed, they would build a new one," Secretary Wu told the truth.

"This isn't like her at all. Her own residence collapsed for no reason, and she didn't even react?" Nangong Tianshou's voice was very soft, as if he were talking to himself.

No, Yu Meng must know something.

Thinking of this, he couldn't stay any longer and looked at Secretary Wu, "Where is Yu Meng staying? I'll go check on her."

Secretary Wu looked utterly helpless. "I told you to go, but you wouldn't. Now that I'm ignoring you, you still want to go. You're such a grown man, and you really are..."

Secretary Wu still gave the room number, "It's a private room in Section A."

"Hmph, there's definitely something fishy going on." Nangong Tianshou nodded as he walked.

When Nangong Tianshou arrived at Yu Meng's residence, Yu Meng was chatting with Niannian.

"Fourth Sister, the house has collapsed. I still have many treasures in my room. Ask Uncle Wu to find someone to help me dig them all out. Many of my sketchbooks are no longer being printed; they're out of print."

"Okay. Have you arrived at your destination? Did you encounter anything unusual?"

"It's still a day's journey, but I've already contacted Xiao Wen. He's sent someone to inquire. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."

"Human nature is treacherous; one can never be too careful."

"Okay, okay, this is my first time, but they aren't. I'll protect my life."

"Yes, as long as you know it."

Yu Meng heard footsteps outside the door. "I'm here. We can talk later."

After turning off the intercom, Yu Meng stood up and opened the door.

"Your ears are quite sharp." Nangong stepped into Yu Meng's room and sat down in a chair in the living room.

"Your footsteps are distinctive, I'll remember them." Yu Meng poured him a glass of honey water.

"How much longer do we have to drink this? It's too sweet, I don't like it at all."

Yu Meng smiled and sat down. "This contains more than just honey; it also contains medicine that Qian Chuan prescribed for you to help restore your bodily functions. Don't you know how your body is?"

"The medicine I was given, how come you have this?"

Looking at his expressionless face, Yu Meng calmly asked, "I have the raw materials for the potion. Is there a problem?"

"Is it an alien?" Nangong Tianshou was indeed very perceptive.

"It's just fighting poison with poison. Your body was damaged by aliens, so it can only be repaired with aliens."

I took a sip of the honey water, but I wasn't entirely satisfied.

"You know how that house collapsed," Nangong Tianshou said definitively.

Yu Meng glanced at him. "The house collapsed, so what? What could I possibly know?"

"No house collapses for no reason."

"Are you going to find the reason?"

"Do you think I have that much free time? I have a feeling you know the reason." Nangong frowned and took another sip of honey water.

"You didn't come all this way just for this, did you?" Yu Meng asked, quite curious.

"No. Zhou Jingyan has been driven into a corner, and I want you to help him."

"How can I help?" Yu Meng looked at him earnestly.
