Chapter 39 The Bureau's Relaxation
Upon hearing this news, Bai Yuxiu fell silent, her expression clearly showing some worry.
"Don't worry, your mother isn't in mortal danger. Although her skills have been affected, most people can't handle her, not to mention her friends in the martial arts world are secretly helping her," Li Muyang comforted her softly. "It's Shen Feiyan who's in serious condition. If she doesn't receive timely treatment, she might be in a coma for the rest of her life!"
"...Big brother, how do you know so much secret information?" Bai Yuxiu asked curiously, then realized something and quickly waved her hand, saying, "If it's inconvenient, then forget it. I was just asking casually."
"It's alright, there's nothing inconvenient." Li Muyang chuckled and shrugged. "The faction I belong to takes it upon itself to observe the stability of all the worlds. Therefore, we have special methods for observing the secrets that happen in some worlds. Before setting off, I specifically investigated the secrets here."
Unfortunately, there aren't any film or television adaptations of Feng Ling Yu Xiu in our own world yet, so we can't just use the comic book as cleanly and simply as we do with Naruto. Anyway, we've already established the background of a cultivation sect, so let's just explain it this way.
In a sense, Li Muyang wasn't lying! Isn't the Time and Space Administration a kind of alternative immortal sect? Its founder is the legendary Holy Emperor Fuxi! So, isn't he a disciple of an immortal sect? It's just that this immortal sect uses the myriad worlds as its training ground.
Bai Yuxiu's eyes lit up as she listened. How amazing!
"Once my mission is over, I'll take you guys to explore my world if I have the chance!" Li Muyang said with a smile when he saw that Bai Yuxiu was interested.
"Huh? Can we go to Brother Li's world? Won't it have any impact?" Bai Yuxiu asked in surprise.
Li Muyang shook his head and continued to explain, "Of course not! If possible, I could even invite you to join us, but I don't have the necessary permissions right now. However, it's no problem to just take you to play in my world for a few days!"
Well, the Administration doesn't restrict people from crossing over; they only charge a toll—one Origin Stone per person per day, with pick-up and drop-off service!
To obtain long-term residency rights, procedures need to be completed, and more Origin Stones are required. At least for now, Li Muyang cannot afford it. It remains to be seen whether there will be corresponding policy benefits after the permissions are upgraded in the future.
Li Muyang promised Bai Yuxiu that he would take her to his own world to play when he had the chance, and then continued to help her control her inner demons. The sensible Bai Yuxiu realized that she was not strong enough and could not help in many situations, so she began to cultivate diligently! Just to save Brother Li some trouble!
Bai Yuxiu felt ashamed that Li Muyang always took the blame for her troubles. She felt so ashamed! They were the ones who brought all these problems upon themselves!
Hehe, my Xiuxiu is so sensible!
Ahem! Let's get serious!
Not long after, they received a message from Pavilion Master Liu, saying that Shen Feiyan was at Jiaye Temple. Feng Ling'er was naturally anxious to see her master, while Bai Yuxiu was still in the critical stage of resolving her inner demons. It would take at least a month to travel to Jiaye Temple, so Yuxiu could not leave. The two had to be separated for a while.
Young Master Cui, his page Mo Yun, and Nan Sheng were going to report to Liu Ruyan, so they planned to accompany them.
Before leaving, Li Muyang repeatedly urged Feng Ling'er to strengthen her practice of the Innate Heart Technique he had taught her! It's useful! Don't be lazy!
He was busy instructing Bai Yuxiu, so he couldn't let Feng Ling'er continue to stagnate, could he? At Jiaye Temple, Shen Feiyan needed the Innate Heart Sutra to help her heal. Li Muyang couldn't stand seeing Feng Ling'er continue to infiltrate the world and steal the secret manual, just like in the original story. So he simply taught Feng Ling'er the Innate Heart Sutra ahead of time, which could also be considered as giving her a technique to enhance her skills!
The little thief agreed verbally, but what she really meant was something only she knew. Bai Yuxiu had realized her lack of strength and started working hard to improve. If Feng Ling'er wasn't given a little push, when would she ever catch up with the rest of the group? After all, they were the only two main characters!
What? Young Master Cui? Wasn't he a character the editor added to pass the review?
Alright! Now Feng Ling'er and the others are gone!
It is estimated that on the way, Young Master Cui will also be taken away by his uncle, Yuan Shang, who was once known as one of the two swordsmen of Cui Xilai, and Cui Xilai respected him as his elder brother.
Master Cui specifically asked Brother Yuan to give his son special training, so as not to hold the young city lord's daughter back! With his son's current abilities, he has no skills other than paying money! How can he be a qualified guard?
Look at that young master Li! What a disappointing son! Master Cui could still sense that his brat harbored inappropriate thoughts about Bai Yuxiu! As a father, he had no other way to support his son but to provide special training to enhance his abilities!
Although Master Cui did not believe that his unfilial son would have a chance to reach Li Muyang's strength through special training, how could his unfilial son know the gap between him and Young Master Li if he did not try his best?
Ahem, just kidding. Master Cui just doesn't want his rebellious son to cause trouble for everyone.
There was nothing he could do. Judging from their interactions, Young Master Li was stronger than his own unfilial son, had higher emotional and intellectual intelligence, was more mature and composed in dealing with people, and was more charming to girls. He even couldn't compete with him in terms of money! Master Cui simply couldn't understand how his unfilial son could possibly win against Li Muyang.
Do you think you can easily backfire by showing off?
Li Muyang never imagined he'd be someone else's child one day! Luckily, he didn't know what Master Cui was thinking! Otherwise, he would have had to cry out that he was innocent! "Your Honor, the Upright Judge!"
I only see Bai Yuxiu as a younger sister! I really have no improper thoughts! (For now only) What? This guy surnamed Cui has improper thoughts about Yuxiu? How dare he... cough cough, where can I find a shady shop that knows how to behave? Don't misunderstand, I'm just asking.
Since Young Master Cui and Mo Yun also temporarily left the group, only Nan Sheng and Feng Ling'er went to Jiaye Temple.
It is hoped that upon arriving at Jiaye Temple and seeing Shen Feiyan's current situation, Feng Ling'er will be inspired to cultivate diligently. Relying solely on Li Muyang's verbal persuasion may backfire. It is the loss of her mentor that will make her a more powerful driving force to become stronger.
Master Cixin is still there. This time, he doesn't need to sacrifice himself to gain the trust of Feng Ling'er. It would be quite appropriate for him to guide Feng Ling'er in her cultivation.
Anyway, Nan Sheng also brought the news that He Sui and Bai Yue were researching a new martial arts system. Li Muyang specifically instructed that this matter be told to Master Cixin, and brought some materials that did not involve the core content. At that time... I guess the old monk will also be aroused by this.
Hehe, the old monk does want to make amends for the mistakes he made back then, but the premise is that it does not harm the interests of Kasyapa Temple! If He Sui and Bai Yue really join forces to create a more powerful martial arts system, what if Kasyapa Temple can't keep up with the times and falls behind?
Xuan Kong, at the peak of the Grandmaster level, alone cannot shoulder this heavy responsibility!
So he must live! And if possible, join the research team!
The Red Sun Blood Essence was a failed product of their experiment; it shouldn't exist in the first place. But what Li Muyang brought was a real path, a bigger and wider one at that! With Master Cixin's vision, he couldn't possibly fail to recognize it; he would be able to distinguish between what was important and what was not.
The former is ethereal and intangible, while the latter is right before our eyes.
If you can't even see through this, then dying won't matter! Just consider it that Li Muyang misjudged you!
As for spreading the news? Telling more people?
Come on! Li Muyang was just worried about not being able to find these guys hiding in the shadows! We can complete the mission together then!
However, they will first have to overcome the first hurdle! That is, the maze that Shennong Beast has improved and set up! After several days of hard work, this forest is no longer a simple maze! But an offensive killing formation!
Over the past month, Li Muyang received a system notification that the mission objective had been completed.
The task is not to heal Shen Feiyan, but to defeat Tianxia Yi. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Master Cixin who defeats Tianxia Yi.
As expected, the mission system is indeed very flexible! There aren't as many restrictions as I imagined, and as long as the mission can be completed, the process and means of completion don't matter! Because from the moment Li Muyang appeared in this world, everything has been influenced and changed by him.
Fate, cause and effect, time and space—all changes converge into the purest origin.
This is how the Administration makes its profits; it's a sophisticated revenue-generating method that operates subtly and without causing any negative impact on the world. They profit without anyone even realizing it.
This is enough for Li Muyang to know. He just doesn't want to become a villain who destroys the world. He is also worried that the Administration Bureau is using the name of maintaining order in all the worlds to actually engage in inhumane business of violent debt collection, just like the righteous sects of this world. He can't easily get past this psychological hurdle.
If this is the case, Li Muyang's enthusiasm for carrying out missions will be gone, and he will just treat it as a job without any emotion!
Fortunately, it wasn't that the task system was giving him special treatment; rather, it was simply the Bureau's usual practice! Its primary focus was revising plot points that left viewers feeling unsatisfied. It was collecting opinions from all corners of the world regarding the story's development and summarizing the most suitable ending.
Having lived honestly in relatively peaceful and stable societies in both his previous lives, and without encountering many truly wicked individuals, the so-called tragedies were limited to his personal life. Moreover, he still has so many dear friends and family to cherish in this life. Since Li Muyang did not turn to the dark side, he naturally does not have any antisocial personality disorder.
The reason Li Muyang wanted to help Bai Yuxiu was because he disliked those hypocritical and righteous sects! This motivated him even more than any personal grudge!
Li Muyang would naturally not want to suddenly become such a villain. He was only 20 years old and did not want to become disheartened as a result of growing up too early. That's why he tried to figure out the Bureau's profit-making methods.
Getting back to the main point, the remaining mission objectives are more important right now.
