Lin Fei revealed a contemptuous smile, reached out, and tossed the head directly into the Government Office, then shouted loudly, "Guardian Zhu, I've completed our bet, hahaha!"

After speaking, he let out a long laugh, leaning on his blade at the doorway. Although he was not a cultivator, his posture drew the attention of several cultivators present.

Even Han Yu had to admit, this person seemed born to attract everyone's attention, destined to be the focal point in the eyes of others.

Someone soon walked out of the Government Office. It was a fat man, with a plump figure and a round face, his eyes helplessly staring at him.

"It's said that the Guardian here was specially dispatched by the Cyan Sun Sect after a good relationship with the Imperial Court, both to train and to help the court guard the State Prefecture."

A cultivator whispered in the crowd.

"Young Master Lin seems to be at odds with the Guardian!"

Someone quickly noticed the clue and pointed it out.

Then someone in the know spoke up, "It's said that Young Master Lin seems to fancy the Guardian's sister, insisting on joining the Cyan Sun Sect, but the Guardian saw he had no aptitude for cultivation and flatly refused."

"Later, it seems the two even made a bet that if Young Master Lin could capture Ye Hai and bring him to justice, he would get a chance to partake in the entrance examination."

People's joys and sorrows might not be the same, but the paths of the strong are always similar. Han Yu felt this was absurd. Is the prodigy going to soar now?

"Break his wings."

The Little Artifact Spirit, although having no physical body, merely existing in the bottle, made a quirky licking sound.

Following this, Han Yu had no interest in the exchange between Young Master Lin and his future brother-in-law. He slowly backed out of the crowd, walking aside to have a quiet conversation in his mind.

"What's the origin of this Young Master Lin, and what do you want from him this time?"

The Little Artifact Spirit seemed to be organizing its words and said in an odd tone, "This Young Master Lin is neither the Child of Qi Fortune nor considered a prodigy."

This was rather peculiar. In the Artifact Spirit's eyes, lacking both was akin to being a cripple — indeed, Han Yu was also deemed a cripple by it.

If he truly was a cripple, it wouldn't stir up the Artifact Spirit so early in the morning.

"This guy is an anomaly; he has a beast spirit within him."

Being a novice in the cultivator circles, Han Yu barely grasped even a general concept of a Sect. Beast spirits were a blind spot for him.

"A beast spirit means he has the soul of a beast within him!"

"What's that?" Han Yu, curious, asked further.

"A Qilin!"

Han Yu was dumbfounded on the spot; his first thought was that the Artifact Spirit was bluffing. How could something like a Qilin exist?

The Little Artifact Spirit got annoyed at once, "You occasionally release a few Fire Dragons yourself, so why can't someone have a Qilin within them?"

Han Yu was taken aback. Indeed, everyone knows what a Qilin looks like, yet no one has ever seen one. You can't really say it doesn't exist.

"There are plenty of things you've never seen! Work harder and keep nurturing the bottle; you'll have plenty of chances to gain knowledge in the future."

Han Yu silently nodded, truly gaining insight this time.

Then the Little Artifact Spirit was quite troubled. This Young Master Lin seemed difficult to handle, yet it craved the soul energy the Qilin carried.

"What's the matter?"

Han Yu seemed to sense it too and asked curiously.

The Little Artifact Spirit then stammered, "I'm thinking how to handle it. The Pill must be taken by Young Master Lin, but it's the Qilin inside him that's paying the price; the transaction rules can't be fulfilled!"

The Pill from the Little Artifact Spirit had something in common with the bottle's nature. For any feedback, the Medicine Taker must gain something for it to be established.

Young Master Lin's situation hit the Artifact Spirit's blind spot, leaving it unable to attain what it desired.
