True Solution of the Sword Dao

Lin You flipped off the covers, breathing heavily, drenched in sweat.

"What’s wrong? Little You!"

Feil, groggy and half asleep, propped himself up and rubbed his eyes.

Lin You took deep breaths, her face pale. It took a long while before she could catch her breath.

"It’s..it’s nothing..." she managed a weak smile.

"If it’s nothing, then why do I feel this heaviness in my heart?" Feil muttered. She and Lin You felt the same and could also sense Lin You’s current state.

"It was just a nightmare. Don’t worry about it."

"Oh."

Feil continued to lie down and went back to sleep.

Only Lin You was left sitting by the bedhead, lost in thought.

After a long time, she slowly raised her left hand and looked at the blue crystal ring on her finger.

******************

Capital City of Hua Nation

Lin Fei walked slowly along the corridor outside the classroom. His stunning, almost demonic appearance drew involuntary salutes from the surrounding students.

Since his demonic power had grown stronger, his appearance had become increasingly eerie, extremely enchanting.

His eyes had grown longer and sharper, his skin paler, and his lips slowly darkened to a blackish-red color.

Although he resembled Lin You in appearance, his aura was a completely different flavor.

Cold and domineering!

A few girls who had just brushed past him whispered amongst themselves, occasionally looking back at him with interest. Some boys also looked at him fervently, straightforwardly mistaking him for a girl.

This eerie atmosphere only stopped when Zhao Yuqing reappeared and arrived.

Lin Fei was almost out of the academic building. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Zhao Yuqing emerged from nowhere, rushing over breathlessly. She leaned over, hands on knees, catching her breath.

"Feifei, do you have any plans for the afternoon?" she asked unceremoniously, changing her form of address.

Lin Fei glanced at her, not bothering to respond. He was mentally preparing for the upcoming action and had no interest in engaging with her.

Zhao Yuqing wasn’t annoyed. She continued to chatter non-stop beside Lin Fei, talking endlessly about food, drink, clothing, utilities, and trivial matters around life. Her mouth never stopped for a second, like a machine gun firing wildly.

Lin Fei, focused on his own thoughts, headed to the cafeteria, sorted out his lunch, and then gave Shuang’er a call.

In recent days, he had assigned Shuang’er to gather Dream Eaters in Capital City and ensure the safety of the students coming for the Swordsmanship Club. Therefore, she hadn’t been by his side.

After lunch, Lin Fei started towards his dormitory.

Zhao Yuqing still followed him, behaving as if it were completely natural.

Lin Fei had gotten used to this. Every afternoon during this time, Zhao Yuqing would come over under the pretext of fostering their relationship. Originally, Capital City had been chaotic, and her father had definitely instructed her not to wander off.

This was evident from the more than a dozen unusually strong auras within a hundred meters around Zhao Yuqing, showing how much her father valued her safety.

During such times, even Yan Capital University was not safe.

"Feifei, did you know another student jumped off a building a few days ago? From the Computer Science Department?" Zhao Yuqing bit into her rice omelet, speaking between bites. "Just like last time, they jumped mysteriously. There was no indication that this person had any suicidal thoughts. Unlike last time, this time it was a boy."

"Oh?" Lin Fei showed some interest.

Seeing his interest, Zhao Yuqing, energized, continued: "This boy was quiet, didn’t interact much with classmates, just liked to play online games, neglecting sleep and meals. No idea what happened? Probably got stimulated and suddenly jumped from the top floor of the Computer Science building, hitting the ground so horrifically!" She bit fiercely into the omelet, revealing the tomatoes and large red peppers inside, looking quite a bloody mess.

Lin Fei recalled the previous encounter with Wang Zexuan, guessing that this matter might be related to what they had mentioned—the issues among them, memory Awakeners.

However, as long as it didn’t involve people close to him, he really couldn’t care less about what they were doing.

As for Wang Zexuan’s earlier declaration to pursue the real murderer using violent measures if necessary, as long as Lin Fei was here, even just a fragment of him could forcibly suppress any overly vicious tactics crossing the line.

Seeing that Lin Fei remained silent, Zhao Yuqing thought he had lost interest and changed the topic.

"By the way, we don’t have classes this afternoon. I’ve made plans with friends to go shopping, are you free? How about joining us?"

Lin Fei glanced at her, about to refuse,

when suddenly a ringtone sounded from his pocket.

He quickly took out his phone, looked at the caller ID, and furrowed his brow slightly, pressing the answer button.

"Hello, Dad?"

"Yes, it’s me." Lin Jianguo’s voice came from the other side, sounding somewhat somber. "Feifei, do you know where your sister has gone off to?"

Lin Fei’s heart jumped.

"What? What’s going on? Isn’t she attending school in Ping City? Isn’t it the start of the school term?" He pretended to be unaware.

"Attending school! Damn schooling!!" Lin Jianguo suddenly cursed. "She said she was going to a friend’s house, but now she isn’t even telling us her whereabouts! When we call her, she just stutters and hangs up if we press her. She’s not even attending her classes, and we have no idea where she is now....."

Lin Fei listened silently to his father’s complaints, saying nothing.

Lin You followed the other Energy Scepter Contractors to search for the Land of Seals and was still in Berlin, Germany. Although school had started, he wouldn’t be able to return for a while.

In his previous life, he clearly remembered that this event had never occurred, indicating that Lin You and his group had completely deviated from the trajectory of his previous life.

He had anticipated this outcome and knew that such a day would eventually come, but he hadn’t expected it to arrive so soon.

"Don’t worry, I’ll have my friend check on her. We should be able to find her." After his father finished complaining, Lin Fei offered comfort.

"That’s right, no matter your relationship with her, she’s still your sister. You should care more for her. After all, in this world, only family is the most trustworthy and less worrying," his father said earnestly.

"Speaking of which, Nannan hasn’t called you for a long time. That girl has adjusted well now, working at a private company and having a stable life. She doesn’t mingle with those bad influences anymore. It’s all thanks to you. Her sister specially asked me to thank you."

"Is that so? That’s good." Lin Fei smiled. This was originally arranged by him, and someone specially took care of everything for Jiang Nan. As for that private company, it naturally belonged to a company under his control. Otherwise, with Jiang Nan’s qualifications and education, it wouldn’t be easy for her to find such a stable, decent-paying job.

"There’s another matter. A young girl named Xu Ke called many times and even brought gifts to our house a few times, claiming she is your friend and wanted to visit."

"Yes, she was my classmate in high school, and a good friend," Lin Fei explained. "I helped her out a little while ago, so she came to show her gratitude. It’s nothing serious."

"One last thing, your mom wants to talk to you." Amid a rustling noise, the phone seemed to have been handed to his mother, Jiang Feng.

"Hello, Feifei, how are things progressing with Yuanyuan?" Jiang Feng’s voice indeed came through. "I gave you her QQ number and phone number before you left, didn’t I? You need to keep in touch more often, you know?"

"I know..." Lin Fei said reluctantly.

"As a man, you need to take more initiative, otherwise a duck that comes to your mouth... ah no, I mean, things that are settled might fall through, so you need to be careful," Jiang Feng slipped up momentarily.

"Yuanyuan is at Xu Da College in the Capital City, near Zebei Road. Find some time to hang out with her, got it?"

"Oh..." Lin Fei said speechlessly. Xu Da College? How would he know where this unknown place is? There are many public and private universities in Beijing, and Xu Da College clearly isn’t one of the top ones; he might need to ask someone to specifically check it out. The point is, he wasn’t interested at all.

Jiang Feng went on nagging before reluctantly hanging up.

Lin Fei calmly put down the phone. He had been standing under the roadside tree shade since the call started.

Zhao Yuqing also stood quietly beside him, not making a sound to interrupt. She was just listening intently to his phone conversation.

Lin Fei thought for a moment and then sent a message to Lin You.

"Call your parents more often, they’re very worried about you."

The reply came quickly.

"Got it."

Lin Fei fell silent for a moment, sighing.

Just as he was about to put away his phone, another message arrived.

"Brother, do you still have money?"

Lin Fei looked shocked.

"Only calling me ’brother’ when you need money... This kid!"

****************

Berlin, Germany

Inside a guest room at the Tower of Wisdom branch.

Lin You’s face was flushed as she stared across the room.

On the opposite bed, Feil was holding her phone with a triumphant expression, tapping away furiously.

"Hehe, refusing free money is for fools! Who told you to be too proud to ask? It took the great me to step in!"

"Give it back!!" Lin You yelled, lunging to get her phone back. Unfortunately, Feil was much more agile, easily dodging to the side and continuing to tap away at the phone.

While tapping, she also read out the message word by word.

"Brother, your sister urgently needs a substantial amount of money. For any amount over a hundred thousand, I can send you an extra nude photo~~~"

"You bastard!!" Lin You fumed. "Where did you get a nude photo!! Disgusting!!"

"Didn’t I sneak it when you were showering?" Feil said innocently. "Anyway, we both showered together, right? It feels weird not to do it together."

"You!!" Lin You’s face burned red, steaming with rage. "I’m going to kill you!!! Ahhhh!!" She charged furiously.

The situation exploded when Feil actually showed her one of her nude photos.

The two girls tangled into a scuffle. As for the phone, it was already knocked under the bed.

*****************

Hua Nation, Capital City

Lin Fei speechlessly looked at the text on his phone, the tone of which could only have been from that quirky Feil. Obviously, Feil was right beside her sister, and the message had surely been sent by her.

A nude photo for anything over a hundred thousand.

Lin Fei was utterly speechless at the offer.

However, this hundred thousand was not to be taken in Renminbi but in Euros, meaning over a million Renminbi.

For Lin Fei at this time, that was merely a casual remark. Whether it was abroad or domestically, he had far too much property and wealth. Just a word from him, and he could instantly mobilize funds worth billions.

Even now, he himself wasn’t clear on how much wealth he possessed. In fact, money was only useful up to a certain point; beyond that, it’s just a change in numbers. (To be continued.
