Although it wasn't her first time here, Liu Yanyan was still quite shy. Xu Le's room had a simple style, all white at first glance, making it look extremely plain.
Liu Yanyan picked up a rag and started cleaning. She finished cleaning in no time. Just as she was about to leave, a small box on the bookshelf suddenly opened, catching her eye.
Liu Yanyan was a little puzzled as to why the box opened by itself. She took long, slender steps over, tiptoed, and took the small box down, placing it on the writing desk beside her.
Upon opening the box, Liu Yanyan gasped in surprise, covering her mouth and exclaiming incredulously, "This is..."
The shadowy warrior slowly disappeared from the shadows beneath the bed.
……
Xu Le walked through the Nanjing University campus and received a report from the Shadow Warrior, nodding in satisfaction.
When I arrived at the classroom, Zhang Chulan was already sitting in his seat, looking utterly dejected, as if he had lost all hope for life.
Sitting next to him was Feng Baobao, her hair disheveled, wearing a white shirt and a wide black skirt. Her eyes were wide open, staring blankly out the window.
Xu Le sat down next to Zhang Chulan and asked, "What happened?"
When Zhang Chulan saw Xu Le arrive, it was as if he had grasped at the last straw. He clasped his hands together and pleaded, "Help! I see this crazy woman everywhere. She claims to be my sister and threatens me to be her slave. Brother Le, help me!"
Feng Baobao stared wide-eyed, stiffly turning her face to Zhang Chulan, who was begging for mercy. She looked like a monstrous demon with blue faces and fangs, and said indifferently, "When I shattered your protective golden light last time, I discovered that thing on your little brother..."
"Master, what are your orders? I've been waiting here." Zhang Chulan's expression changed instantly, and he put on a fawning look and knelt down next to Feng Baobao.
Feng Baobao patted Zhang Chulan's head, nodded in satisfaction, and said in her enigmatic Sichuan dialect, "It's good that you know. You should be more obedient in the future."
Xu Le had already seen Zhang Chulan's appearance in the comics, so he wasn't surprised. He asked Zhang Chulan, "What happened on this trip?"
Although he had secretly sent the Shadow Legion to follow them and knew everything, he still had to pretend to be unaware.
Zhang Chulan dropped his fawning act, his expression turning serious as he said, "My grandfather's grave was dug up. I went back to investigate and encountered a strange young boy named Lü Liang, whom I easily defeated. Luckily, this crazy woman... oh, I mean, my master arrived in time to save me."
Feng Baobao sat to the side, and when Zhang Chulan called her a crazy woman, a gleaming kitchen knife was held to Zhang Chulan's neck, scaring him so much that he quickly changed his words.
Feng Baobao put away the kitchen knife and said to Xu Le, "Lü Liang is a member of Quanxing. They stole Zhang Xilin's body and also want to kidnap Zhang Chulan."
"What is Quanxing?" Zhang Chulan asked in confusion, after all, he grew up in an ordinary environment and did not know anything about these supernatural organizations.
"They maintain their integrity and are not bound by material possessions. They do whatever they want and are a group of 'madmen who cannot be intimidated, restrained, or bought,' so they are ostracized by the world. After all, no one wants to associate with madmen, especially a group of powerful madmen."
Xu Le explained that he didn't have any ill feelings towards Quanxing, because he was also a person who did whatever he wanted.
However, humans are strange creatures. When faced with someone who is unconventional, they will unite to assimilate them, or exclude or even exterminate them.
Zhang Chulan was even more confused. Why were they taking his grandfather's body? Did they have some kind of special fetish?
Xu Le saw through Zhang Chulan's thoughts and interrupted his wild thoughts, saying, "Lu Liang of Quanxing is a direct descendant of the Lu family of the Ten Elders. He later committed murder and fled."
The Lü family has the ability to extract soul memories, so in the past, this family did many despicable things. This time, stealing your grandfather's body is probably to extract some memories from his corpse.”
"Reading souls and stealing memories, this ability is terrifying."
Zhang Chulan suddenly felt a chill, but remembering that his grandfather had to suffer such humiliation even after his death, he clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh, wishing he could beat these guys to death.
"You don't need to worry too much. Although the Lü family is quite capable, they haven't produced any top-tier superhumans. Only that guy, one of the Ten Elders, is worth mentioning."
Xu Le never took the Lü family seriously. Apart from their abilities being somewhat interesting, they had no other merits. They spent all their time thinking about searching for the Eight Techniques of Jia Shen, coveting other people's martial arts techniques. They even became someone else's lackey during the pursuit years ago, extracting the souls of these inheritors to find the techniques from their memories.
A family with great power that doesn't focus on developing its own soul-related abilities has lost its direction and is destined to never become truly strong.
Moreover, no matter how strong their soul abilities are, it's useless, because Xu Le's sheep talisman inherently restrains them.

Chapter 85: Crisis (Chapters 22 and 55 were inexplicably blocked, what a headache)
"You need to be careful lately. You've already been targeted by Quanxing. In a while, it won't just be Quanxing targeting you, but the entire world of supernatural beings."
Looking at Zhang Chulan, who had a headache, Xu Le suddenly had an idea. Following the method he had seen in the cultivation technique yesterday, he casually pointed, and golden energy flowed into Zhang Chulan's body through his fingers, sealing off the flow of Qi within him.
"What are you doing? Why is my Qi sealed?"
Zhang Chulan was still having a headache from being targeted by the Quanxing madmen when Xu Le suddenly pointed a finger at him. His internal energy was suddenly blocked and could not circulate, as if his body was tied up, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
Zhang Chulan didn't know why Xu Le was doing this. Without receiving an answer, he mobilized the Qi in his body to continuously attack the seal, but there was no fluctuation when the Qi collided with the golden energy. The golden energy was like an iron wall, firmly blocking the path of the Qi.
Zhang Chulan tried several times but couldn't get rid of the golden aura. He looked up at Xu Le and said, "Hurry up and help me get rid of it, it's very uncomfortable."
Xu Le obtained the experimental results, and with a finger to his chest, he withdrew the golden energy from Zhang Chulan's body.
He found this in a book about acupoint sealing techniques. The book wasn't rare, but it was largely ignored because it was too useless. Both sealing and acupoint sealing require the use of one's own Qi, but for Qi masters, it was practically useless and meaningless.
However, Xu Le is different. His golden aura is the true essence produced by a Qi cultivator, which is of a higher level than Qi. At the same time, they belong to two different systems. If it cannot be broken through with a very large amount or a very pure Qi, it can only be obediently sealed and helplessly await its death.
Xu Le closed his eyes and said calmly, "This is just a sealing technique. If you can't even deal with this kind of ability, how can you deal with Quanxing? Their mastery of the seven emotions and six desires is quite high."
"Wine is poison that burns through the intestines, and lust is a knife that scrapes the bones."
"Wealth is the root of disaster, anger is the source of calamity."
Feng Baobao recited the nicknames of the Four Madmen of Quanxing as if reading from a textbook, word by word.
Zhang Chulan's heart tightened, but he still forced a smile on his face, trying his best not to expose his cowardly side.
Xu Le ignored all of this. Feng Baobao's words had just reminded him that the four madmen of the Quanxing Sect had abilities that seemed quite interesting...
Xu Le felt there was no point in staying, so he walked out the back door. The teacher who was lecturing on the stage paused for a moment when he saw Xu Le leave, but did not say anything, pretending not to see him.
As for the other students, seeing Xu Le so carefree, they couldn't help but feel a little envious. Although the university wasn't strict, attendance was still required, and failing grades would result in failing the course.
