I'm really sorry for the poor update situation these past few days, because some very frustrating and annoying things happened. I will make up for the chapters I missed in the next few days.

 -

 After hearing John's words, Lin Xuan's heart tightened, but he relaxed again in the blink of an eye. Honestly, he had just thought that Aritamu had seen through something. But after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong. If Aritamu had really seen through something, then he shouldn't be among the bodyguards that Tian Daogong would bring with him when he visited a prominent figure tomorrow. Aritamu should have replaced him with someone else, not like he was doing now.

 No, there was another possibility: Tian Mu or Tian Dao Gong were worried about me, afraid that I might have done something while they were away. They wanted to keep me with them. Moreover, if the person they were visiting tomorrow was really an important figure, the bodyguards around him would definitely be much stronger than John and the others, so I would not dare to act rashly.

 Temporarily suppressing the questions in his mind, Lin Xuan smiled at John and said, "Maybe it's because the person we are going to visit tomorrow is really an important person and needs to be kept secret."

 "Maybe." Looking at Lin Xuan playfully, John licked the corner of his lips and smiled.

 "——" Lowering his head slightly, a gleam of light flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes. He clearly caught the undisguised amusement in John's eyes. Clearly, he had connected Tian Mu's concealment of information about the important person he was going to visit tomorrow to himself. No, perhaps even Shan Guxiu. In fact, it was normal for them to think so. After all, something that had never happened before had happened since his arrival. It would be strange if they didn't forget to associate it with him.

 "Then I'll go back and adjust my state and prepare for tomorrow. Look at the Chinese website." Lin Xuan curled his lips and ignored the amusement in John's eyes and said.

 "Well, goodbye then." John seemed to realize that Lin Xuan didn't want to talk to him, so he didn't say anything else.

 "Okay, goodbye." After saying that, Lin Xuan walked towards his room.

 Looking at Lin Xuan's leaving back, John whispered, "What is Butler Arita wary of about him? The organization behind him? Or himself? - However, he is indeed a curious child. I really want to get him, hold him in my arms, caress him, and pamper him." A perverted possessive desire rose from John's heart, and the corners of his mouth raised high to outline a perverted smile, making his handsome face look extremely weird.

 Watching Lin Xuan disappear around the corner, John continued to whisper, "And then play him badly—"

 `

 Elsewhere, while walking down the street, Lin Xuan suddenly felt an extremely uncomfortable gaze from behind him. A chill ran down his spine, and he even felt goosebumps forming. Frowning, Lin Xuan cursed softly. "That damn pervert must be thinking something bad about me. From now on, I'll avoid him if I can. I'll never see him again. He's so disgusting."

 On the way back, Lin Xuan saw Shangu Xiu, but since he was concentrating on other things, Lin Xuan had no intention of disturbing him and just walked past him.

 When Lin Xuan walked to the door of his room, he saw Arita Mu already standing at the door, and it seemed that he was waiting for him.

 "Butler Arita, are you waiting for me?" Although he had almost guessed the purpose of Arita's visit, Lin Xuan still asked.

 "It's you, Lin Xuan. You're here just in time. I want to tell you about tomorrow's work."

 "Oh, then come in and talk." After saying that, Lin Xuan took out the key and opened the door.

 "Hey - Butler Arita, I heard that you are going to meet an important person tomorrow?" Lin Xuan asked, raising his eyebrows slightly.

 "Huh? How do you know? You just came back." Looking at Lin Xuan with a little surprise, You Tianmu asked.

 "John told me. But John said that he used to tell them tomorrow's schedule in advance. Why did he keep it a secret this time?" Lin Xuan asked directly without hiding anything.

 "Oh~~~ He even told you this." Qing raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.

 "Well, he seems confused about this."

 After Lin Xuan finished speaking, Arita Mu smiled and explained, "It's normal for him to feel strange. After all, this is the first time such a situation has happened. In the past, we usually told them in advance, but the person we are visiting this time is of high status, so we have to keep it confidential to prevent the news from leaking out."

 "Is that so?" Lin Xuan replied, but he didn't care. What was he talking about keeping it a secret? It just sounded so reasonable.

 "Well, let me tell you about tomorrow..."

 There wasn't much to explain, just a few rules. After that, Aritagi came and started the conversation.

 Lying in bed, Lin Xuan pondered Aritagi's attitude towards him. Logically, he should have known that he was just a homeless child who had joined the Liberation Corps less than six months ago. If so, his vigilance towards him would have been lowered, but he would not have completely stopped. However, looking at their recent actions, Lin Xuan was a little confused.

 "Forget it. I can't think of how to set up 243 anyway. Let's just stop thinking about it and go find out." Lin Xuan muttered as he sat up.

 Glancing at the clock on the wall, Lin Xuan muttered, "There's still about forty minutes until Tian Daogong's dinner. Let's go and see if they have anything interesting to talk about." Then, Lin Xuan stood up. As he stood up, the aura emanating from him suddenly vanished completely. If it weren't for Lin Xuan still standing by the bed, no one would have thought there was someone there.

 A+ level breath blocking

 Through the power of [Above the Origin of All Things], it was not difficult for Lin Xuan to simulate the assassin's breath and block it, even when the power of [Above the Origin of All Things] was forcibly intervened by the system and a part of its power was sealed.

 After preparing himself, Lin Xuan silently walked out of the room. Along the way, he casually wandered in the shadows until he arrived outside Tian Daogong's study. No one could detect his presence. This was A+ level aura blocking. Unless he deliberately revealed a flaw or entered combat mode, no one in the building would be able to detect his presence outside Tian Daogong's study.

 Just then, Aritagi's voice was heard from inside the house.

 "Master, Lin Xuan——"

Chapter 2 Eavesdropping

 As soon as Lin Xuan arrived outside the study, he heard the voice of Arita Mu in the study with his special means.

 "Master, although Lin Xuan is just a kid who joined the Liberation Corps for less than half a year, the possibility of him being sent here to get that information is very low, but isn't it inappropriate to let him be one of the three bodyguards you bring tomorrow?" There was some doubt in Aritagi's voice.

 In the study, Tian Daogong frowned slightly after hearing Arita Mu's doubts and said, "This is indeed a bit inappropriate, but for some reason, I always feel that this child is far more complicated than we imagined. So, I don't feel comfortable leaving him at home like this. It's more reassuring to keep him with me."

 "Is that so? Then let's do as you said. I'll ask John to pay more attention to him. Anyway, with John's quirks, it won't be abrupt no matter how much attention he pays to him. As for Yamaguchi, forget it. We can't tell him. This kind of thing is not suitable for him." With his head lowered, Aritaki thought.

 "You can arrange this matter yourself. I am still very confident in your work."

 "Got it. I'll make the arrangements later."

 "Hmm" Tian Daogong responded, and the whole study became quiet. The only sound was the sound of Tian Daogong flipping through the materials. Suddenly, Tian Daogong asked.

 "By the way, I asked you to extract some unimportant parts from that document. Have you done it now?"

 "——!" Tian Daogong's words perked up Lin Xuan, who was lurking outside the study. Originally, he just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that he would actually hear something about the information.

 Inside the study, Tian Mu didn't seem surprised at all when he heard Tian Daogong's sudden question, as if he knew what Tian Daogong was going to ask. He placed one of the folders in his hand on his desk and said, "I've compiled the information you'll need tomorrow, sir. Please take a look."

 "Well, let me take a look." As he said that, Tian Daogong flipped through the folder that Arita Mu placed on his desk. He seemed to be very satisfied with the information compiled by Arita Mu. After looking at the information for a while, Tian Daogong slowly showed a hint of satisfaction on his face.

 "Well done. As expected, no matter what you do, you put my mind at ease." After praising Aritagi, Tian Daogong closed the folder and handed it to Aritagi. His face was serious and he said, "Keep it well. Remember, no mistakes can be made with either this document or that one."

 "I understand, sir." As Tian Daogong's family member, You Tianmu knew how important the materials in his hand and the hidden materials were to Tian Daogong. If anything went wrong, Tian Daogong would never let him go, even if he was his trusted butler who had been with him for many years.

 "Well, then you go down first."

 "I understand." After responding, Aritaki was about to leave the room, but at this time, Tian Daogong stopped him.

 "and many more!!"

 Tian Daogong's words forced Aritagi to stop and look at Tian Daogong in confusion.

 "Let's go through the Kurogane family visit tomorrow and see if there are any problems. We absolutely cannot make any mistakes tomorrow."

 "The Black Iron Family!!!" Outside the study, Lin Xuan's pupils shrank when he heard Tian Daogong mention the "Black Iron Family." Although he had thought a lot when he learned that Tian Daogong was going to invite a big shot tomorrow, he had never expected it to be the Black Iron Family.

 "It seems that the material is really not simple~~~I am now more and more curious about what is inside this document." Lin Xuan raised his lips slightly, and a hint of amusement and curiosity appeared on his face.

 At this time, Aritagi's voice continued to be heard in the room.

 'I see, I will inquire more about it, sir.'

 "Well, then you can go down." After saying that, Tian Daogong waved his hand, indicating that You Tianmu could leave.

 "Then I'll be leaving first, Master." After saying that, Aritagi left immediately. After Aritagi left, Lin Xuan also left quietly. However, he did not return to his room, but followed Aritagi. Now that he had some clues from the information, how could he just go back to his room so obediently? He would not give up until he saw the part of the information that Aritagi had sorted out.

 However, when tracking Aritagi, Lin Xuan replaced Breath Block with [Heaven's Roar]. There was no other way. Although Breath Block was very useful and could cut off one's own breath, making others unable to sense his presence, it could not cover his entire body. If he was still in the Heroic Spirit state, he could use this ability after using the Spirit Formation, so that no one could discover him...

 However, she couldn't do this right now, so he could only switch to [Sky's Roar], using the wind to affect the refractive index of light, thus making it impossible for others to see him. Although this would make it difficult to hide his aura, fortunately, Aritagi hadn't yet reached the point where he could sense Lin Xuan's aura even after he tried his best to hide it, so Lin Xuan didn't worry about being discovered by Aritagi.

 After leaving the study, Arita Mu went straight back to his room, and Lin Xuan followed him silently and entered his room with him.

 After returning to his room, Aritagi immediately went to a painting hanging on the wall. He gently pushed the lower left corner of the painting, and then, he gently tapped the wall that was exposed by the painting.

 As Arita Mu knocked, tiny lines suddenly appeared on the wall, and then a secret compartment was opened. Lin Xuan, who was standing not far from Arita Mu, witnessed this scene clearly. After seeing the secret compartment opened, Lin Xuan muttered silently in his heart.

 "This hiding place is really secretive~~~~"

 Originally, Lin 3.4xuan was still wondering whether the raw materials were also here, but when he saw that there was nothing in the secret compartment, he felt a little disappointed.

 "Come to think of it, that information is so important, how could Tian Daogong let Arita Mu hide it in his bedroom?" Shaking his head helplessly, Lin Xuan sighed.

 After putting the document back into the secret compartment, Aritagi returned the painting he had pushed to its original place and left the room. However, Aritagi left his room, but Lin Xuan hadn't. With such a good opportunity now, how could Lin Xuan let it go? He wouldn't be willing to leave without taking a look at Anfen's document.

 However, Lin Xuan did not open the secret compartment immediately, but glanced at every corner of the room with interest. In those corners, there were surveillance cameras.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

 Glancing playfully at the surveillance cameras installed around the room, Lin Xuan silently walked to an outlet and pointed his finger at the socket. The next moment, a faint blue-white flash of electricity emanated from Lin Xuan's fingertips, followed by a thin arc of electricity that flowed along his finger into the socket's keyhole.

 After a while, Lin Xuan retracted his fingers and stopped injecting a tiny electric arc into the socket.

 Perhaps some people have already guessed what Lin Xuan was doing. That's right, what Lin Xuan had just done was to use his ability to control lightning to hack into the surveillance cameras located in various corners of the room through that jack, changing the scene captured by those cameras to the scene as it was just before Arita Mu left, that is, the room was empty.

 This is a very delicate job. If it was Lin Xuan who had just obtained the power of [Heaven's Roar], he would not be able to do it to this extent. After all, he is not like Misaka Misaka, who has terrifying computing power. Not only can he control lightning, but he can also use this ability to do hacking.

 However, when the blood-sucking world was attacked, Lin Xuan specially learned this technology because of some needs, and now it comes in handy.

 After dealing with the surveillance cameras, Lin Xuan came to the painting where Aritagi had hidden the information before, and repeated the same movements as Aritagi had done before. Sure enough, after a while, a secret compartment appeared in front of Lin Xuan.

 Taking out the document from the secret compartment, Lin Xuan flipped through it. As time went by, the curl at the corner of his mouth grew wider. Two minutes later, he had already roughly skimmed through the document. Although this document was only a less important part of the original document, it was not difficult for Lin Xuan to imagine what the complete document contained. It was precisely because he knew what was recorded in the document that Lin Xuan smiled so brightly.

 After putting the document back to its original place and restoring everything in Aritagi's room to the way it was when Aritagi left the room, Lin Xuan left Aritagi's room.

 -

 Inside the room, Lin Xuan sat on a chair, half-closed his eyes, and recalled the contents of the document in his mind. The corners of his mouth slowly curled up to form a smile that contained a mixture of amusement, surprise, and curiosity. "I didn't expect that a task that was originally just for me to try my hand would turn out like this, and even involve the Black Iron Family. The most important thing is that the contents recorded in the document are... Things are becoming more and more interesting~~~~"

 With his head tilted back, Lin Xuan stared at the white ceiling with his emerald blue eyes and whispered with a hint of doubt.

 "However, how did Tian Daogong obtain this material? Such materials are not easily obtained, and he was able to conceal it from the Liberation Corps, making them unaware of the importance of this material fee."

 Just when Lin Xuan wanted to continue thinking, a sudden knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

 "It's time for dinner, Mr. Lin Xuan." Standing outside Lin Xuan's room, there were no servants in this villa. Although Lin Xuan was now considered one of the "servants", at least his status was much better than those servants who did odd jobs.

 "I understand. I'll go later," Lin Xuan said coldly after glancing outside the door.

 After his train of thought was suddenly interrupted, Lin Xuan's mood wasn't great, but it wasn't too bad either. "Let's go eat first. We'll talk about the rest later. However, that guy Aritaki actually let John make that statement to monitor me~~~~" At this point, a look of disgust and irritation crossed Lin Xuan's face.

 "Really? Why don't you change someone? Why choose that pervert? Even if I find out the true identity of the information, I can't be happy." Lin Xuan curled his lips, looking like he was screwed, with a lot of resentment.

 "It seems that I have to behave more safely in front of John in the future, so that he won't see anything." With that, Lin Xuan left his room.

 -

 The next day

 Looking at the house in front of him, Lin Xuan sighed in his heart, "Is this the most famous family in this country - the Black Iron Family? It's more ordinary than I imagined."

 "But..." Lin Xuan murmured softly, his eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, and he glanced at the entire Black Iron Mansion. "There are quite a few powerful people here~~~~"

 As if hearing Lin Xuan's murmur, John smiled and said, "Of course. After all, it's the Black Iron Clan. How could there not be powerful people there? However, I never thought that the master would visit the Black Iron Clan. It's really surprising."

 Lin Xuan did not comment much on John's words, but lowered his head slightly and stood quietly behind Tian Daogong, "hiding" his entire body. If you only look from the front, you won't be able to see Lin Xuan standing behind Tian Daogong if you are not careful.

 Just at this moment, people from the Heitie family came out.
