I meet all the requirements for becoming a god in this world!

"Looks like I was right."

Seeing the bald man's reaction, Cheng Laiyun understood. His eyes narrowed like knives, revealing a dangerous glint.

"Hah~" The bald man opened his mouth, his throat red with a cough...

However, Cheng Laiyun had no intention of leaving any survivors.

With the precision of a scalpel, he stomped on the bald man's neck and severed it.

"Click~"

…………

A campfire is burning.

The night was quiet.

The firelight reflected Cheng Laiyun's cold, frail face.

He dumped several cartloads of rice and several corpses in a corner of the valley.

He sat upright by the campfire, silently gazing up at the starry sky.

Besides him, Qi Dazhuang was also present.

However, Qi Dazhuang was lying motionless beside him.

Only the slight up-and-down movement of his chest testified to the fact that Qi Dazhuang was lucky to survive.

Cheng Laiyun never expected that Qi Dazhuang would survive after being kicked in the chest by that bald man.

After giving him basic first aid, we carried him here.

The use of the "Follow the Wind Ear" and "Transform Heaven and Earth" techniques has left Cheng Laiyun extremely weak.

They simply didn't have the ability to carry Qi Dazhuang back to the Martial Arts Academy.

He could only find a secluded corner to hide in, and after eating some spirit rice, the weakness in his body slowly subsided.

It will take him at least half a month to fully recover the energy and blood he consumed by using his supernatural powers this time.

Cheng Laiyun, half-lying on the hay, silently calculated:

"The Xuanzhu Case..."

"I was exposed after all..."

Now that it has been deduced that the bald man is after my life.

There's only one reason.

It was the case that I helped Gao Heyun and Xu Jiayin solve on the day I first transmigrated.

"These days I'm either at the Martial Arts Academy or by the young lady's side, which means they don't have a chance."

"On this one time I went out, I ran into them."

"This proves that they've been watching me for a long time."

"And..." Cheng Laiyun looked up at the few carts of spirit rice that were faintly visible in the distance.

"They might have even included Xu Jiaqun in their scheme to kill me."

"They used spirit rice as bait, just to lure me out..."

Thinking of this, Cheng Laiyun felt a chill run down his spine.

So much spirit rice, and the bald man's strength far surpassing that of ordinary martial artists.

All of this proves that those who are targeting him and want him dead are no small force.

If it weren't for the fact that I broke through to the extraordinary realm today and awakened the supernatural power of "Law of Heaven and Earth".

He's definitely going to die!

"Phew~"

He exhaled a breath of stale air.

Cheng Laiyun banished all distracting thoughts from his mind.

"Then the only plan now is to seize the time to recover our strength and take Qi Dazhuang back to the Martial Arts Academy."

"Hmm... With Huo Dongqu, an extraordinary individual whose background is unknown, at the Xu Family Manor Martial Arts Academy, there are at least no safety issues."

"Oh, and Gao Heyun too!"

"I almost lost my life because of the Xuanzhu case, she absolutely has to know about this!"

"When I solved the case, only Gao Heyun and the young lady were present."

"The young lady has been staying at Xu's Cloth Shop these past few days, so it's impossible that she leaked the information."

"Then, it's only Gao Heyun left!"

Thinking of this, Cheng Laiyun's eyes hardened.

Before returning to the Martial Arts Academy, he had to find Gao Heyun to ask for some compensation!

He wasn't worried that Gao Heyun had deliberately exposed the matter.

After all, if Gao Heyun really wanted him to die, with her strength, she wouldn't need to put in much effort at all.

…………

Yong'an County Government Office.

In the study.

Gao Heyun narrowed her phoenix eyes and sat expressionlessly in the chair.

On the table in front of her was an open box.

Inside the box, light shimmered.

It contained a fist-sized, mysterious and profound bead.

It is indeed the Mysterious Pearl of the Mo Sect!

A few days ago, a young man named Cheng Laiyun gave her a clear idea.

She had been secretly keeping an eye on the man named "Zhu Li" for the past few days.

Just yesterday, Zhu Li finally made a move, leaving his home in the dead of night.

Gao Heyun followed closely behind and indeed found the person who was supposed to meet with Zhu Li.

Unfortunately, after seeing her appear...

Zhu Li and his contact did not hesitate and immediately committed suicide by poison.

Although the Mysterious Pearl was obtained.

But the trail went cold.

……

"Mr. Gao, Miss Jiayin has delivered a letter to you."

Just as Gao Heyun was deep in thought, the servant's voice rang out from outside the door.

Ok?

Gao Heyun frowned slightly, then slowly raised her hand, her voice clear and cold:

"Bring it in."

"Yes."

Before long, a respectful yamen runner came from outside the door and handed a note to Gao He.

Gao Heyun tore open the envelope and pulled the note out.

The note was written in the young lady's handwriting.

First, they talked about the "Wang Po" incident, confirming that Cheng Laiyun had indeed awakened spiritual supernatural powers.

But when she looked down again, her fair hand trembled unconsciously for a moment!

I looked up again.

That face, which was still stunningly beautiful even without makeup, showed a rare look of astonishment.

"Has one stick of incense been burned to pass the stage of enlightenment?"

"Breaking through the physical barrier overnight?"

This content is quite unexpected.

She has been in the extraordinary realm for over a decade.

Of course, I know the meaning contained in those few words!

That's fast!

Even if one awakens a mental supernatural power, their progress in martial arts cultivation will be incredibly rapid!

Inevitable.

In an instant, Gao Heyun recalled her own words from that very study.

"The cultivation method I practice has very strict conditions."

"You are listless and lack energy; forcing yourself to practice martial arts will only backfire."

……

Yes.

She personally rejected this genius boy back then.

Put down the note in your hand.

Gao Heyun's expression was complicated.

She stared unconsciously ahead at the brazier where charcoal was burning.

Pick up the silver shovel and add charcoal to the brazier...

The action is repeated.

One, two, three...

The servant standing to the side was somewhat stunned.

After a long silence, the servant cautiously spoke:

"Lord Gao, the charcoal is full."

"Um?"

It wasn't until this sound rang out that Gao Heyun suddenly came to her senses.

She stared blankly at the coal piled up like a small mountain in the brazier in front of her.

He remained silent for a long time.

Gao Heyun's rosy, full lips parted slightly.

A faint, almost imperceptible sigh escaped.

"Put it away."

She slowly shook her head and directed the servant to put away the coal.

"Yes."

Just as the servant was packing his things.

Another voice sounded from outside the door:

"Lord Gao, someone requests an audience."

Upon hearing this, Gao Heyun shook her head expressionlessly, her voice cold and clear:

"Today is a busy day, and I can't see anyone."

The servant outside the door hesitated for a moment.

Then, mustering his courage, he replied again:

"The person who requested an audience identified himself as Cheng Laiyun, saying that he had an important case to report."

Ok?

Upon hearing this, Gao Heyun abruptly looked up, her phoenix eyes locking onto the doorway like iron clamps:

"Cheng Laiyun?"

"right."

"Phew~"

Exhale softly.

The coldness on Gao Heyun's face gradually faded, and she nodded expressionlessly:

"Let him in."

"Yes."

……

When Cheng Laiyun saw Gao Heyun again.

It's the same familiar house.

It also has a familiar taste.

As soon as he entered the room, his gaze locked onto Gao Heyun.

Eyes facing each other.

Instantly, Cheng Laiyun bowed to Gao Heyun with a bitter expression:

"Lord Gao, you've really put me in a terrible situation!!"
