He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

Lu Chen held the black bracelet engraved with silver patterns, his heart filled with anticipation for the future.

Xuan Yuanwu stood still, her gaze sweeping over Lu Chen, then looking at Aunt Yao and Elder Feng who stood respectfully to the side, and remained silent for a few seconds.

Immediately afterwards, Xuan Yuanwu broke the silence.

"Lu Chen, take this!"

Before she could finish speaking, the spatial bracelet on her left wrist flashed with light.

A jade pendant, its surface smooth and lustrous, and carved with a lifelike phoenix pattern, appeared in her hand.

The phoenix on the jade pendant seemed ready to take flight at any moment, exuding a noble and mysterious aura.

She stepped forward, pried open Lu Chen's hand without a word, and placed the phoenix jade pendant firmly into his palm.

"This is?"

Lu Chen looked at the obviously extraordinary jade pendant in his palm with a puzzled expression.

The jade pendant felt warm to the touch, as if it carried a faint, cool fragrance unique to Xuan Yuanwu.

He subconsciously tried to use his mental power to sense the information on the jade pendant.

The next second, his eyes widened suddenly, and he exclaimed in surprise, "SSS-rank?!"

A semi-transparent information panel appeared before his eyes:

【Name: Phoenix Yin Yang Jade Pendant (Yang)】

[Quality: SSS level]

[Effect: Communication, ignoring distance and most interference;]

The protective shield can withstand one fatal attack of level 100 or below.

A form of identification.

This attribute panel is simple, yet it carries a surprising amount of information!

Communication is unaffected by distance and interference, meaning that it can maintain contact in any extreme environment;

Being able to withstand a fatal attack below level 100 is practically a life-saving trump card;

This is definitely a god-tier item!

"This jade pendant,"

Xuan Yuanwu stared at Lu Chen, a complex light flashing in her phoenix eyes. Her tone suddenly turned fierce, revealing her signature little tiger teeth.

"Keep this safe! Keep it with you at all times! If you lose it, or dare to give it to someone else, I... I'll kill you!"

The threat sounded menacing, but Lu Chen could sense an unusual meaning behind it.

This jade pendant is no ordinary item.

However, Xuan Yuanwu's next move caught him completely off guard.

Before Lu Chen could react, she grabbed his right hand.

She pinched his thumb, and then... she actually put it directly into her own lips!

"Ouch! Mother Tyrannosaurus, what are you doing?! That hurts!"

Lu Chen winced in pain and couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

My fingers were enveloped by warm, soft lips, followed by a slight stinging sensation.

Xuanyuan Wu actually bit his fingertip with her teeth!

Xuan Yuanwu completely ignored his exclamations and struggles, and her movements were swift and decisive.

After biting her fingertip, she quickly pressed Lu Chen's thumb, from which blood had seeped, onto the phoenix jade pendant.

Bright red blood dripped onto the surface of the crystal-clear jade pendant, instantly seeping into its interior.

The next second, the phoenix jade pendant suddenly emitted a soft red-gold light.

Lu Chen clearly sensed a faint mental connection.

This jade pendant has "recognized its owner".

Beside them, Aunt Yao and Elder Feng, who had been silently watching this scene, looked at each other in disbelief.

Aunt Yao's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she forcibly held back.

Old Feng's eyes widened, and his jaw agape.

They all knew what this "Phoenix Yin-Yang Jade Pendant" represented.

This makes it clearer what profound symbolic significance the "Yang Pei" blood test signifies.

Miss's actions... she's serious!

Xuanyuan Wu released Lu Chen's hand and looked at the jade pendant that had established a connection with Lu Chen.

He nodded in satisfaction, then immediately resumed his arrogant demeanor.

"Alright!" She put her hands on her hips and pointed at Lu Chen.

"From now on, if I try to contact you through this jade pendant, you must reply immediately!"

If you dare to ignore it...

Hmph, you're just waiting to die!

I'll find you no matter where you are in the world!

After saying that, she stopped looking at Lu Chen's still somewhat bewildered expression, turned around and looked out the window.

My gaze was cast toward the distant horizon.

His gaze became sharp and resolute.

A faint fighting spirit was rising from his body.

"I'm leaving first!" She took a deep breath, her voice resolute. "I'm going to take back everything that's rightfully mine!"

Before she finished speaking, she transformed into a dazzling red streak of light.

Soaring into the sky like an arrow released from a bow,

They sped straight towards the Second Heaven.

It quickly disappeared from sight.

"What...what the heck is this?"

Lu Chen was left standing there, looking completely bewildered.

He looked in the direction where Xuan Yuanwu had disappeared and muttered to himself:

"This female tyrant... could she have made up an excuse to go to some tavern in the Second Heaven and drink herself to death, never to return?"

After all, her previous image as an alcoholic was deeply ingrained in people's minds.

But he had a feeling that this time might be different.

"Aunt Yao, Old Feng,"

Lu Chen turned his head, his gaze sweeping across the room. Noticing the two "insiders" still present, he quickly asked them questions.

"Do you know what the female tyrant went to do? What does 'taking back everything' mean?"

He felt that these two people were in cahoots with Xuan Yuanwu and should know the truth.

Aunt Yao clasped her hands in a respectful gesture:

"Reporting to the young master, I am not aware of the young lady's specific whereabouts and intentions."

"The young lady sometimes doesn't inform us of the details of her actions."

Aunt Yao's voice was calm.

But the words "son-in-law" rang in Lu Chen's ears like a thunderclap.

"What? Son-in-law? Me?!"

Lu Chen was completely stunned, pointing at himself with disbelief on his face.

"Don't shout! I...I have absolutely nothing to do with her...that tigress...only a fool would be interested in her!"

He recalled Xuan Yuanwu's usual domineering, violent threats, and alcoholic, unkempt appearance.

The term "son-in-law" is truly terrifying.

"I'm not your son-in-law! Don't call me that!"

Lu Chen waved his hands repeatedly, firmly denying it.

Aunt Yao and Old Feng exchanged a glance and communicated with each other.

Aunt Yao immediately changed her tune, her posture remaining respectful:

"Yes, Young Master Lu Chen! I understand."

You can't call him "son-in-law," so calling him "young master" should be fine.

After all, the young lady clearly regarded Lu Chen as an extremely important person and had given him a jade pendant that represented his status.

Lu Chen heard the title "Young Master"

Although it's still a bit awkward, it's much more acceptable than "son-in-law".

He waved his hand, looking somewhat weary, and said:

"Never mind, you guys go ahead and do your own things."

Let me be alone and process what happened today...

"Yes, Young Master Lu Chen!"

Aunt Yao and Old Man Feng responded in unison and withdrew respectfully.

Once they left the room, they instantly reverted to their usual selves at the orphanage.

Aunt Yao walked towards the kitchen, looking like an ordinary cook about to prepare dinner;

Old Feng returned to the courtyard gate, his back hunched, like a dutiful old security guard.

If I hadn't witnessed their strength and their respect just now,

Lu Chen almost thought they were just two ordinary employees.

"This is such a mess..."

Lu Chen slumped alone on the sofa, placing the black bracelet and phoenix jade pendant beside him, staring at the ceiling and muttering to himself.

"This female tyrant is really hiding her true colors..."

"His background is terrifyingly powerful. He ran away as soon as he regained his strength, and even gave me this thing..."

He stroked the warm, smooth jade pendant, feeling the spiritual connection within it, his emotions a complex mix.

Today's events were so overwhelming, my head is about to explode.

Meanwhile, at the City Lord's Mansion of Tianfeng City.
