Guan Ya's pen stopped turning, and she looked at him meaningfully:

"Why do you ask? The Xiahou family won't bother you anymore, so you don't have to worry. To be precise, other factions of the Xiahou family might even want to have a drink and chat with you."

Zhang Yuanqing looked at her meaningfully and said, "I just want to know." Guan Ya pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "Follow me."

She got up from her office chair and walked towards the restroom in high heels.

Huh? We have to talk in the restroom? Wouldn't it be better to talk downstairs? Zhang Yuanqing glanced at Wang Tai, who was busy working with his head down, and quickly followed Guan Ya.

The two of them arrived at the restroom, with Zhang Yuanqing closing the door. Guan Ya crossed her arms and said,

"The existing ancestral figures of the Lingjing world, including the five official alliance leaders, are all the first group of Lingjing travelers. Oh, except for our Marshal of the White Tiger Army. The first group of Lingjing travelers was born in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China."

Zhang Yuanqing's expression changed.

He remained silent for a long time, pinching his brow and said, "So that's how it is..." Guan Ya's answer unraveled the doubts that had troubled him for a long time.

Lingjing travelers did not exist since ancient times. The appearance of character cards occurred in modern times. In other words, if there were major professions in ancient times, their advancement method was indeed through cultivation.

The notes from the Mountain God Temple and the cultivation records of the Yin Yang Hermit were not fictional backgrounds of the Lingjing world. Ancient people really practiced in this way.

The possibility of the Old Master and the Yin Yang Hermit actually existing greatly increased.

Furthermore, this could explain the concept of character cards being ahead of its time. Moreover, there might even be updates to the Lingjing world.

The initial version did not have so many attributes. Guan Ya looked at him and smiled, saying,

"This matter is confidential. The official claim is that Lingjing has existed since ancient times. I only know the secrets because of my family background. Normally, I shouldn't tell you, so remember to keep it a secret."

Zhang Yuanqing quickly said, "Thank you for trusting me, Guan Ya. From now on, I'll be your loyal follower." Her meaning was clear - our relationship is good, so I'm telling you.

Guan Ya chuckled and asked, "How will you be my follower?"

Now you can be my follower... Zhang Yuanqing muttered in his heart.

Guan Ya suddenly stopped and put away her smile, saying seriously, "Have you noticed something?"

"Don't you think the existence of moral values is unreasonable? The essence of this world is survival of the fittest. From ancient times to the present, humans have established tribes, dynasties, and regimes. These organizations have established order, but fundamentally, the strong are respected." Zhang Yuanqing whispered,

"Because these organizations are strong enough, they have established rules. The existence of moral values is part of these rules, which means there must be strong individuals above them. So, Lingjing is not a supernatural phenomenon, but a man-made creation." Guan Ya carefully observed him, her eyes showing admiration of a woman towards a man:

"Not bad, very perceptive. You became a Lingjing traveler less than two months ago and already realized this issue. Most people wouldn't think about these matters that have nothing to do with them. Even if they had doubts, they wouldn't delve deeper and would choose to go with the flow."

Zhang Yuanqing then told Guan Ya about the notes from the Three Dao Mountains and the cultivation records of the Yin Yang Hermit.

Guan Ya frowned, saying, "I haven't heard of this, but it makes sense. Hmm, what do you think 'changes in heaven and earth' mean?"

Zhang Yuanqing shook his head, "Guan Ya, did you suddenly lose your mind? This question is too profound. Even the Yin Yang Hermit from that era didn't know, so how would I know?"

Guan Ya angrily said, "What's wrong with losing my mind? Do you have a problem with that?"

Although having a mind is a good thing, with your big chest, it's fine even if you don't have one... Zhang Yuanqing said, "You look so beautiful, it's even better without a mind."

Guan Ya rolled her eyes and snorted, "Just take it as you complimented me. What I mean is, since there are changes in heaven and earth and the limit of cultivation has decreased, why can we suddenly cultivate now?"

Zhang Yuanqing immediately said, "Because Lingjing appeared."

Guan Ya nodded, "Then how did Lingjing appear? Hmm, this question is even more profound, but we can still deduce some things from it. For example, who created Lingjing? In what way was Lingjing created? What is the purpose of creating Lingjing?"

These three questions from Guan Ya made Zhang Yuanqing lost in thought. After about ten seconds, he slowly said,

"Firstly, the creators of Lingjing definitely weren't the people from the Ming Dynasty. If they had that ability, they wouldn't be limited to the end of the Dharma era."

The cultivation level of the Yin Yang Hermit was already top-notch at that time, and he still had to sigh in lamentation. And reclusive experts like the Old Master, who hid their true abilities, also became part of Lingjing. It's terrifying to think about.

"The end of the Dharma era?" Guan Ya was taken aback. "That's a good way to put it." "Oh, I read it on the internet," Zhang Yuanqing continued his analysis:

"I think instead of thinking about how Lingjing was created, it's better to think about how that existence reversed the end of the Dharma era. Moreover, Guan Ya, do you think the end of the Dharma era might be related to that existence?"

Guan Ya asked, "Go on."

"As for the purpose of creating Lingjing, I have two ideas. One is to study Lingjing travelers, their common paths, tasks, and so on. There must be a purpose behind creating Lingjing travelers. My train of thought is... factional confrontation."

Guan Ya narrowed her eyes and asked, "Why do you think that?"

"Because the ancient Order Camp and Evil Camp, there seems to be no mandatory killing task, but more of the Order profession cannot tolerate the Evil profession and therefore take action to punish evil. Among the Spirit Realm practitioners, there are reputation rewards and moral value rewards for camp confrontations, and there are also camp confrontations in the instances, especially the latter, which are mandatory. Of course, this is just my speculation without evidence."

"You know quite a lot, huh? Is it recorded in that book 'The Chronicles of the Jiazi Cultivation'?"

"Guan Ya, you are wise. I can't hide anything from you. Let me continue with the second part, deciphering the Spirit Realm. All the information I know comes from the Spirit Realm. In fact, the Spirit Realm instances provide many obscure clues, and the remarks on the props are the same. There is always an indescribable existence, a 'great and supreme existence,' and so on. How should I put it, I always feel that the Spirit Realm does not dislike us deciphering it."

Guan Ya nodded slightly. "Do you remember what Li Chunfeng said? The instances at the Transcendent stage have backgrounds from the modern and Ming dynasties."

In other words, at the Saint stage and Dominator stage, there will be backgrounds from other eras. What kind of information might be hidden in those ancient Spirit Realms?

Zhang Yuanqing couldn't guess these things, but he suddenly understood Guan Ya's meaning and was surprised. "Are you suggesting that the high-level members of the Five Elements Alliance may have already understood the secrets of the Spirit Realm?"

Guan Ya smiled. "At least they know more than us."

Seeing that they had talked enough, she reminded with a serious face, "Don't spread these things outside. No one should say anything, including the squad leader."

When Zhang Yuanqing nodded, she smiled and said, "Good boy. By the way, I just had a chat with the Queen. She told me something interesting."

"Something interesting?"

"A while ago, Yuan Ting was taken away by Elder Sun. After that, not many people in the Taiyi Sect's forum and chat group dared to say 'Elder Sun is confused.' But since yesterday, this joke has resurfaced." Guan Ya walked out while smiling.

"This time, Elder Sun probably can't suppress it. Your killing of Li Xianzong in the instance has had a great impact." Zhang Yuanqing: "...."

In the office area, Li Dongze came out from inside and looked around, not seeing Guan Ya. He asked, "Why hasn't Yuanshi arrived yet? Wang Tai, where did Guan Ya go?"

Without lifting his head, Wang Tai calmly replied, "The two of them sneaked into the restroom."

"What?" Li Dongze doubted if he had misheard.

Wang Tai repeated, "The two of them sneaked into the restroom. It's been more than ten minutes already." "Oh my God, these two..." Li Dongze muttered to himself.

When did these two start dating? Was it because of the hardships they faced in Yin Yang Town that they broke free from the constraints of feudal ethics? At this moment, the restroom door opened, and Guan Ya and Zhang Yuanqing walked out one after another.

"Squad leader!" Zhang Yuanqing raised his hand to greet.

Li Dongze leaned on his cane and said in a deep voice, "Captain Fu just informed me that if you come, remember to go to Fu Family Bay immediately."

"Captain Fu wants to see me?" Zhang Yuanqing responded with an "Oh." "Should I go now?"

Li Dongze nodded slightly, glanced at Guan Ya who had returned to her seat, then looked at Zhang Yuanqing and said slowly, "Our work has always been relatively free. When there are no emergencies, it's fine to be lax. So, there is no shortage of time. There is a hotel outside the Public Security Bureau. Don't do this next time."

After speaking, he carried his cane and returned to the office with big strides. Huh? What was he talking about... Zhang Yuanqing looked confused. In the capital city.

In the courtyard, under the banyan tree.

Elder Sun lay on the rocking chair, enjoying the cool breeze, while the tree leaves rustled and the children's clear voices came, "Grandpa, grandpa~" Footsteps sounded from outside the courtyard, and the clear shouting immediately stopped.

A middle-aged man in black stepped over the threshold and entered the yard, stopping in front of the rocking chair, respectfully saying, "Elder Sun, Yuan Ting has completed ten days of training in the training camp. He has realized his mistakes."

Elder Sun shook his fan and nodded slightly. "How is Yuan Ting's cultivation?"

"He has made great progress in all aspects and may have the opportunity to participate in the June killing instance," the middle-aged man replied.

"Not bad!" Elder Sun half-closed his eyes and said slowly, "I sent him to the training camp to cultivate him."

The middle-aged man immediately said, "Elder Sun, your intentions are commendable."

Elder Sun said, "Ten days have passed. Let Yuan Ting go back. By the way, has anyone dared to mock me these days?"

This question was initially of great importance and concern to Elder Sun. Later, with the video of Yuan Ting's arduous training in the training camp as a warning to others, no one in the Taiyi Sect dared to ridicule him anymore. Elder Sun gradually stopped paying attention to it, but out of habit, he asked every day.

"Well..." The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment.

Elder Sun instantly opened his eyes, changed his lazy posture, his gaze sharp, and sneered, "Oh? Is there still a daring little brat who dares to mock me?"

The middle-aged man said, "Everyone is mocking you. The evil winds and evil spirits have revived."

Elder Sun suddenly stood up, the rocking chair creaking, shocked and angry. "What's going on?"

"It's like this. Yuan Ting encountered Li Xianzong in the instance when he entered Yin Yang Town a few days ago..." The middle-aged man explained the grudges between the two in detail to Elder Sun.

In conclusion, he said, "The colleagues in the sect all believe that Yuan Ting is a rare genius and may become the second Fu Qingyang. So..."

So Elder Sun was confused!

As a Dominator, Elder Sun naturally wouldn't pay attention to the conflicts between two juniors. At this moment, he was dumbfounded listening to the story, thinking that his efforts over the past few days had been in vain.

"Damn it!" Elder Sun angrily slapped the armrest of the rocking chair and shouted, "Keep Yuan Ting in the training camp for another ten days. Increase the training intensity and send a video to the forum every day. If anyone dares to mock me after ten days, I will settle accounts with them one by one!"

The middle-aged man bowed and retreated. Fu Family Bay, the study in the villa.Dressed in a white suit, Fu Qingyang, with his chiseled features, sat behind his desk, looking at his trusted subordinate, and said:

Discover the complete story on pawread dot com.

"You are now at level 3, eligible for promotion to team leader. Currently, there are no team leader vacancies in Kangyang District. According to the rules, you have to wait. But you are different from others. Elder Sun agreed to establish another official team for you.

"You can freely choose one subordinate. The rest of the team members, you have to recruit yourself." Zhang Yuanqing immediately said, "I want Guan Ya."

Fu Qingyang raised an eyebrow, a dangerous glint in his eyes: "Oh? Why Guan Ya?"

Of course, it's because Guan Ya is capable and efficient. It's not like I want to be your brother-in-law... Zhang Yuanqing thought sarcastically, then said:

"Centurion, do you think there's a possibility that after June, I could become a steward? By then, you could just hand over the second team to me."

Fu Qingyang rarely showed a smile, saying, "That's what I was thinking too. Wait until you pass the Slaughter Dungeon and get promoted to Saint. By then, I, as an elder, can appoint you as the steward of Kangyang District, taking my current position."

Huh? Zhang Yuanqing was taken aback, almost failing to react.

Are you reading the wrong script? Shouldn't you be speechless and warn me not to aim too high? Fu Qingyang looked at him and said lightly:

"You are a talent I admire. I admit that you can stand shoulder to shoulder with me in my early years. For geniuses like us, what can't we achieve?"

I was wrong. Compared to you, I'm too modest! Zhang Yuanqing said loudly, "Centurion, you're right, but I think you're wrong."

Fu Qingyang frowned, "Where am I wrong?"

"I think I'm still far behind you, Centurion. It should be, 'a genius like me who can barely stand shoulder to shoulder with the Centurion.'"

Fu Qingyang laughed, "Let's not discuss this for now. There's another thing. Yesterday, the Tiger Talisman was sent to Songhai. The general physical examination starts today, with each district taking turns. Kangyang District is the day after tomorrow."

The general physical examination is finally here! Zhang Yuanqing instinctively tensed up, "Understood!"

Fu Qingyang nodded, "You can go back now, rest well these two days."

After Zhang Yuanqing left, Ling Jun knocked on the study door. The heir to the Taiyi Sect, wearing flip-flops, loose capri pants, and messy hair, had a casual demeanor.

"Elder Sun just contacted me. He asked me to remind you to ask Yuanshi during the general physical examination whether he is the descendant of the Demon King." Ling Jun picked out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet, saying:

"Such a talented person should be checked several times. Heh, under the Tiger Talisman, no one can lie. If he passes this examination, he can completely sever ties with the Demon King."

Fu Qingyang pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Alright."

Outside Fu's Bay, Zhang Yuanqing walked slowly along the street, his brows furrowed.

"My only secret now is being the descendant of the Demon King. The Red Dancing Shoes, the Demon Subduing Pestle, and so on, have all been confessed. The most troublesome part is my connection with Aunt Xiao Yuan."

"Contact with evil professions is considered a serious issue in the Five Elements Alliance. Even without deep involvement or financial transactions, it's still a serious personal conduct issue."

"The most troublesome thing is being the descendant of the Demon King. So far, I still don't know what the Taiyi Sect and the Five Elements Alliance's attitude towards the Demon King's descendant is. But one thing is certain, the Demon King's level is too high. If the authorities are hostile to his descendant, my merits probably won't hold up..."

After all, the Demon King has already touched the big secret of the Spirit Realm.

"If the authorities were friendly towards the Demon King's descendant, they wouldn't have such an ambiguous attitude. Sigh, it's tricky!"

"Actually, the general physical examination has its benefits. It can find out the cause of my constant headaches, which normal medical means can't. The methods of Spirit Realm walkers should be able to find the cause."

His strange disease was a knot in the hearts of his entire family, and a nightmare that had haunted him for years.

Zhang Yuanqing thought for a moment, took out his phone, used the anonymous SIM card, and dialed Aunt Xiao Yuan's number. When in doubt, ask the expert.

By the way, he could ask Xiao Yuan if she wanted to join his gang.
